explosion and wide-spread devastating fire at Gates-

ill_fterce, concentrated, incinerating, and long-enduring furnace

'lye pleasure in giving publicity to the following gratifying testi-
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Oct. 19, 1834.
Gentlemen,—We have great pleasure in stating that, whilst our
co
"ices were completely destroyed and burnt down in the great fire
Who
on the 6th instant, reduced a great many buildings in
,c!weastle-upon-Tyne and Gateshead to ashes, two of your large
~foldfast" safes, in our offices, have been the means of pre-
'ling our books, bills, and other valuable documents, although
N'ese safes were exposed for about nine or ten hours to an im-
-,_ense heat, and dug out of the ruins in a red-hot state. On
irting them we found our principal books and bills in a ood
~.,te of preservation. Some of the papers were singed andsis-
.,oured, but we are happy to say they can be used for the main
oses they were intended for. We feel it our duty state
t?e4e facts, and will thank you to make use new safes to teespifica-
ft.—We are, Gentlemen, yours truly,
