EDWARD BA YLIS, Resident Manager and Actuary. Vices, Cheapside, London. ARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION ki PAINT, specially patronised by the British, French, Rus sian, and Sicilian Governments, the Hon. East India Company, the New River Company, the principal Dock Companies, and other Public Bodies. The ANTI-CORROSION- PAINT has been used by the Hon. Board of Ordnance for upwards of half a century, who have proved it to prevent rust or corrosion on Iron longer and bet ter than the very best White Lead, or any other descr►pt►on of Paint ; and in consequence of its possessing this invaluable quality, all the Iron Guns and Gun Carriages, both for land and sea service, have been painted with it for the above period. It has always been used in great quantities by other public bodies, and by numbers of Gentlemen of the first distinction, to preserve Wooden Houses, Farm and other Outbuildings, Conservatories, Park Paling, Gates, Iron Railing, Iron Hurdles, Copper, Zinc, Lead, old Compo, &c., Fronts and Tiles to re present Slating. It will be found a very supe►ior preservative of Iron Steam Boats, iron Bridges, Piers, or any other exten sive Iron Works. _ _ _ - This Paint is admirably adapted for preventing the decay of old stone or brick Mansions, Churches, or other Public Edi fices requiring an effectual defence against the elements. It is particularly recommended to West India and other Colonial Proprietors, Emigrants, and all nersons connected with the Colonies, who will find it to stand all climates better than any other Paint. The superiority of the Anti-Corrosion to any other Paint may be easily inferred from the simple fact that its use has always been most strenuously opposed by Colour Ma nufacturers, and others interested in the sale of Common Paint. Noblemen and Landed Proprietors, anxious to have their Outbuildings, &c. properly preserved, will effect a very consi derable saving by desiring their Stewards to order the Anti- Corrosion Paint, as any labourer can lay it on, thereby saving the enormous charges generally made by painters. The Anti-Corrosion is a powder, and it will keep any length of time. Colors : White s t one , light stone, drab, or Portland stone, Bath stone, light and dark yellow stone, light and dark oak, brown, light and dark lead, light and dark chocolate, bright and dark red, copper, and black, 345. per cwt.; invisible green, 505., bright green, 605., deep green, 605., and blue (for carts and wagons), 60 s. per cwt. ; i n cas k s 281 b 5., 561 b 5., 1121os. each, and upwards.—Large tied Brushes, 3s. 6d.; small tied Ditto, 2s. 6d. ; and Sash Tools, Is. fid. each. OIL and TURPENTINE, at PER GALLON. One cwt. Casks, Is. 6d. ; half and quarter cwt. Ditto, Is, each. Same allowed for returned empty Oil Packages, as charged, viz , Is. per gallon. The expense of the Colours, at 345. per cwt., when the weight of the Oil is added, is about 4d. per lb; and those at 605., about 6d. per lb. The Original Anti-Corrosion Paint is only to be obtained of WALTER CARSON AND SON, (Successors to the Inventors,) No. 9, GREAT WINCHESTER STREET, OLD BROAD-STREET, NEAR THE ROYAL EXCHANGE, LONDON, who will show between 500 and 600 most flattering Testimonials received from the Nobility, Gen try, and other Influential Persons, who have used the Anti- Corrosion for many years. No Agents.—All orders are particularly requested to be sent direct. CHANDELIERS. 11 L. HAUSBURG begs leave to announce that, • in consequence of the increasing demand for GAS FITTINGS of the more costly and elegant description, he has decided upon the disposal of his Stock of GAS CHANDELIERS of a less expensive kind ; and he now offers them at prices at which, on account of the great rise in the value of metals, it would not be possible to purchase them from the manufac turers, viz. : Three-light Chandeliers for Gas, all cast, with water slides and balance balls, opal or cut flint glass vases and dishes, burners, glasses, lengthening rods, sockets and balls, and fixed complete within three miles of the Liverpool Exchange .e2, 18 0 Four-light ditto, ditto, ditto, ditto Bronzed Hall Lanterns, with etched and handsome stained glass, burners,&c., fixed complete as above, 38s. to 50s. and upwards.—All guaranteed of good sound work manship.

ROBT• ROBERTS & COM'• PATENT OXIDE OF ZINC AND MINERAL COMBINATION PAINTS, Manufactured and Sold by W. LAWFORD AND CO. ' Oil Boilers and Refiners, Varnish and Colour Manufacturers. No, 49 , NORFOLK-STREET, LIVERPOOL. THESE Paints are superior in'all respects to those prepared from . . 1. On account of their perfectly harmless qualities, being in no way injurious to health, either in case of manufacture or use. _ 2. On account of their superiority in resisting the influences of the atmosphere. _ _ _ 3. On account of their great durability and permanence of colour; one painting of zinc lasting double the time of an ordinary lead painting. 4. On account of their cheapness and covering power;—as compared with the best Lead Paints, the proportion are as 50 to 100,—that is to say, 50 lbs. of the Zinc Paint will cover as much surface as 100 lbs. of the best Lead Paint, with an equal amount of body; the saving of cost being in the same propor• tion. The Patent Zinc Paints are particularly adapted for painting both iron and timber Ships, and all vesse's exposed to the action of sea-water. They are also invaluable for house paint ing, especially for inside work, as, in addition to their hardi ness and susceptibility of taking a high polish, they cause no ill effect or dangerous complaint either to the workmen em ployed, or to those persons inhabiting apartments newly painted. Testimonials may be seen, and all particulars had, on appli cation to the Manufacturers, as above. FOR FAMILIES AND PARTIES FURNISHING.

WILLIAM LAIRD, GENERAL MANAGER. 7, Rumford-street, Liverpool, October Ist., 1852. 212° AITLNER'S PATENT FIRE-RESISTING SAFES. MILNER v. HARRISON. SECOND TRIAL AT LAW FOR PIRACY OF MILNER'S PATENT. THE Defendant, JonN GERMAN HARRISON, having persevered in the sale of Safes constructed on the princi ple of Milner's Patent, in defiance of the verdict found against him in June, 1851, in the Court of Queen's Bench, and an In junction afterwards awarded against him by the Court of Chancery (be pretending that the Safes sold by him since the first trial were not infringements, but made under a patent granted to Messrs. Sann), a second action was brought on the suggestion of Vice-Chancellor Sir George Turner, to try whether such safes were or were not infringements on Milner's Patent. . . _ . _ _ • This action was tried on the 25th June last, before Lord Campbell and a special jury. The following extracts from the learned Judge's address to the jury in summing up will show distinctly the questions submitted to the jury : Lord Campbell.—" I own it seems to me that Mr. Harrison does not appear before you in very advantageous colours from these proceedings. He had been in the service of Messrs. Milner, and while in their service he takes another shop, and there be begins and sells fire-proof boxes which were agreed by a jury sitting where you now are to be substantially the same as those of Milner, the Patentee, and that record has been given in evidence: you are not bound by it, but you may at tend to it; and I must own that I do not see any reason to believe that the jury who sat on the trial of that cause were in any respect mistaken in point of fact, and I do not discover that there is any real difference between this case and that ; you will attend to all the evidence, and form your own conclu sion from the evidence that has been given. . _ " You are first caned upon to say liiietber this invention of Messrs. Milner is new. As to wheter it is useful, it seems to me to be allowed on all hands, it seems a most marvellous pre servative against fire; for the water remains permanently held in artificial vessels or in natural vessels, and the very calamity brings the cure, for the heat causes the water to ex pand, and then it is turned into steam, and the steam moistens the substance which is to be preserved, and so it is an effectual guard against fire. " If you think this was new, then the only remaining ques tion is with regard to the infringement. Now the infringement sTems to rest upon substantially the same evidence as the infringement on the former trial, when the action was brought against Mr. Harrison. " Now you find with respect to Tann'a Patent, whatever Tann's invention might have been, that this patent which he manufactures, and which the defendant Harrison sells, and of which he calls himself the sole proprietor,' operates in the same way. It seems to me to act precisely the same way as in Milher's patent, but upon that you will form your own judg ment. Then if it really has the same effect. and operates in the same manner, and upon the same nrinciple, it will he for you to say whether you have , any doubt it is an infraction of Milner's Patent. Those are the two questions for you to con sider." _ The Jury found a verdict for the Plaintiff, on both the issues, thus establishing that the so-called Tann's Patent Safes are a mere piracy of Milner's invention. After the trial last year, it was pretended that the Safes then condemned were not made according to Tann'. Patent—in other words that the water in them had not been boiled and set to cool before being used. The three Safes upon which this second action was brought were sworn to bu Messrs. ann as being made accord ing to their Patent. The Public of Liverpool will remember the species of adver tisements by which this wretched case has been upheld. THEY have been as much imposed upon, with regard to the quality and price of the safes sold by these parties, as the advertisers have been wronged by their illegal use of Milner's (the only effective) Fire-resisting principle. The experience of Mr. Cafferata, as shown at this trial, (by a gentleman unknown to us before,) is only that of all the buyers of these things. Mr. C. was induced to give 115 for a safe, 22 x 16 x 16, on the assurance that it was " Thief-proof—three quarter inch thick solid wrought iron," &c., &c. Looking at it a day or two afterwards, at home, and on scraping the paint off it, he found it a MERE SHELL—R perfect delusion ;• and those who h ave intrusted their valuable property to such safeguards will do well to take the same course. For our own Safes, we have devoted our lives and our earn ings to the production of the best securities in the world against Fire, Robbery, of Violence, which the public has given to us the best means of making, and which we mean to sell at the lowest remunerating prices. Before buying a Safe, if parties will look into our works, and see the labour and attention paid to the manufacture in all its details, they will be less likely to be imposed upon by external appearances and fallacious representations in the very important matter of the selection of a Safe. " MILNER'S PHcENIX SAFE WORKS," (late 'Wind sor Foundry,) Falkner-street, are sabi to be the finest work shops in Europe, of their class, certainly THE MOST EXTEN SIVE AND COMPLETE SAFE MANUFACTORY IN THE WORLD, employing more hands than all the Safe makers in Great Bri tain, and the Proprietors respectfully invite the people of Liverpool to inspect an establishment tbat has originated under our present patent, and grown up amongst them. The effect of these trials will be to confirm to Messrs. Milner and Son the exclusive use of materials or vessels in which, to use the Judge's words, " the water remains permanently held until the occurrence of the calamity (Fire) brings the cure." The trials by the Liverpool Polytechnic Society of Chubb's and Marr's Boxes filled with anhydrous (dry) materials, and of Milner's, filled according to their evaporating principle, proving the manifest superiority of the latter, will be remembered, and such is now the defined relative position of Milner's only effec tive File-taming principle, by the agency of water and its vapout contrasted with all others without, that agency, 212 deg. tc 3,000 deg. .

It will not only join together by Railway the great cities of Frankfort, Wiesbaden, Mayence, and Cologne, but will com plete the long required connexion between the Lines of Austria and the South Germanic States culminating at Frank fort, and the Lines of Prussia, Belgium, and Holland, and the Great Northern of France, with the traffic from England, cen tering at Cologne. It will also necessarily complete a speedy and advantageous transit for the Indian Mails through the German States. Amongst the numerous advantages this Railwnywill embrace, treating Frankfort and Cologne (Deutz) as its two great ter mini, are the following : Ist.—The entire traffic from England and Belgium passing to Frankfort and South Germany and to Austria, via Ostend or Calais and Cologne, and the return traffic, must use the proposed Line. 2nd.—All the traffic to or from Frankfort by the Great Northern Railway of France, via Cologne, will use the Line. 3rd.—The traffic to Minden and Hanover, and the North of Holland, via the Paris and Strasburg Line, will pass by the route of Metz, Sarrebruck, Ludwigshafen, and ayence, across to Wiesbaden, or by the Railway on the right bank of the Upper Rhine through Frankfort to Wiesbaden, and thence proceed by the proposed Line to its destination. 4th.—The proposed new Railway will be connected with the Rotterdam and Antwerp Line, through Antwerp to Cologne, and with all the Dutch interior Lines, about to be placed in communication with the 141inden and Co logne Railway at Oberhausen. sth.—lt will also be connected with the Duchy of Baden Line. from Frankfort to Mannheim, Baden, Carlsruhe, and Basle; with the Nekar Line, from Frankfort to the Lake of Constance, through Ulm, Stutdgardt, and Hei delberg; and with the Frankfort Line, in course of con struction, to Bamberg and Nuremberg. 6th.—Finally, all traffic passing o ver the Line from Cologne to Wiesbaden, and thence reaching Frankfurt, can pass by the Saxony route from Frankfort, through Marbourg, Cassel, Erfurth, Dresden, and Prague, to Vienna, Trieste, and Hungary; and also by Eisenach and Leipsic to Berlin, .whence there are branches or extensions to Hamburg, Kiel, Lubeck, Rostock, Stettin, Dantzig, Posen, Cracow, and Warsaw. This extended enumeration indicates the vast commercial conveniences and financial results which must attend the Frankfort, Wiesbaden, and Cologne Railway. Hitherto the important link of Railway from Cologne to Wiesbaden has not been constructed, because the Rhine navigation with Steamers has been considered sufficient. But the necessity of a Railway communication has now become obvious; it can no longer be deferred ' • and the Government of the Duchy of N assau h as granted the requisite concession for the Line from Wiesbaden along the right bank of the Rhine, to Horchheim, nearly op posite Coblentz ; and a concession from Prussia has been applied for to continue the Railway to the Cologne and Minden Station at Deutz. Every effort will be made to obtain from those Governments advantages to the Shareholders in order to encourage the undertaking. The Rhine, on the average, is closed one-third of the year from fogs, ice, &c.; and it will be easy to go from Cologne to Wiesbaden and Frankfort by Railway in four hours and a half, while the fastest Steamers on the rivers Rhine and Maine are eight to ten hours on their journey down wards, and are fourteen hours, and sometimes two days, going up the Rhine against the stream. The Line from Wiesbaden to Horchheirn will be fir.t constructed, and worked in con nexion with quick Steamers on the Rhine; to be followed by the extension to lieutz when th e concession has been obtained. The Railway can be constructed with great facility on the right bank of the Rhine with very few heavy works, and will command all the beautiful views on the Rhine, to which tra vellers will more than ever be attracted. The pleasure and business traffic on and near either bank of that magnificent and unequalled river will be promoted and increased in an ex traordinary degree. The Railway must become the greatest, and by far the most beautiful, high-road in Europe. Each portion of Railway, as constructed from town to town, com mencing at Wiesbaden, can be at once opened for traffic run ning in connexion with the Taunus Railway from Frankfort, and thus become productive of revenue. The mineral waters of Wiesbaden, Ems, Schwalbacb, Schlan genbach, Soda, Fachingen, and Selters annually attract to the Duchy of Nassau foreigners and visitors of distinction, to a far greater extent than the mineral waters of other countries ; and the construction of this Railway must increase their numbers, and render their journeys more frequent. In fact, it may be fairly said that this part of Germany is, during a certain por tion of the year, a rendezvous for the whole of Europe. The Branch Line, through Limburg to Giessen, before mentioned, will, it is considered, be a most productive one, passing, as it will, through a country rich in Minerals, which have hitherto been very . imperfectly worked, owing to the want of a Railway Communication with the Rhine, and with the Trunk Railways of Germany. This Branch will furnish that communication, and become an important feeder to the Main Line from Wiesbaden to Cologne. The great traffic of the district is by the River Rhine. The statistics of that traffic are most carefully collected and re corded by Commissioners appointed by the several govern ments interested in the navigation. Annually the Commission prints a Report of the entire traffic in the year, giving the same with minute details. The Report of 1850 has been obtained, and by careful examination the following facts are established: Ist. That the Passengers by the Rhine Steamers, amounted in 1850 to 919,193 in number between Cologne and Mayence, the parallel distance of the termini of the proposed Cologne and Wiesbaden Railway. 2nd. That the movement of goods from Cologne, or passing Cologne to or past Mayence up the Rhine was, in that year, about 461,136 tons; the movement of goods in the same year down the Rhine, from Mayence to Cologne, or past it, was about 331,785 tons. It appears by authentic records for 1852. not yet printed, that the down goods traffic had increased about twenty-five per cent to 412,301 tons; and the up goods traffic in a much larger proportion. The whole traffic of 1850 has been carefully analysed, and having reference to the Railways now constructing, and which will be opened as soon or sooner than the Line of this Com pany from Wiesbaden to Cologne, especially the Railway from Oberhausen to Lobithe and Rotterdam, it has been carefully ascertained what will be the probable annual traffic on the Wiesbaden and Cologne line. A document of great length and going into details on this subject has been printed, and may be obtained at the Company's Office, where may also be inspected the official records and publications from which the data for the estimates have been derived; and from this document it will be seen that, while a vast traffic will still be left upon the Rhine, annually augmenting, the proposed Line of Railway by the right bank of the river from Wiesbaden to Cologne must produce at least from Passenger Traffic Goods' Traffic , .1314,437 , 380,965 Together 4695,402 Deduct for working expenses, forty per cent on (lie receipts, equal to 42,540 per mile per annum (110 miles) _____ Balance W 417,242 rent reductions, which really which would (allowing even ,id.fgrirdgof at least FIFTEEN per cent o a n re t n li o e t c p a r p o i b ta a l b o le f )p . aY , a 0 , , 1i ..ENDERSON, and engaged purchase the land, construct the works Co., have ; , erect the stations, and supply the rolling Messrs.
