THE GREAT NEWCASTLE FIRE.---The late
fearful explosion and wide-spread devastating fire at Gates-
head and Newcastle, destroying property to the value of one mil-
lion, converting a large area of warehouses (filled with sulphur,
nitrate of soda, peat charcoal, and other highly combustible
stores), whole stacks of offices, houses, &c., into a perfect volcano
of fierce, concentrated, incinerating, anlong-enduring furnace
heat, in which not only combustible things, but even bricks,
stones, and iron were burnt up and fused. Safes of the ordinary
kind, iron-doored strong rooms, were alike melted, torn asunder,
their contents charred and destroyed. But amongst the many
instances of preservation in this instance, and in the more recent
destructive fire at Manchester, THOMAS MILNER and SON
have pleasure in giving publicity to the following gratifying testi-
monial : Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Oct. 19, 1854.
Gentlemen,—We have great pleasure in stating that, whilst our
offices were completely destroyed and burnt down in the great fire
which, on the 6th instant, reduced a great many buildings in
Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Gateshead to ashes, two of your large
" holdfast" safes, in our offices, have been the means of pre-
serving our books, bills, and other valuable documents, although
these safes were exposed for about nine or ten hours to an im-

coloured, but we are happy to say they can be used for the main
purposes they were intended for. We feel it our duty to state
