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 (tilled with sulphur,
nitrate of soda, peat charcoal, and other highly combustible
stores), whole stacks of offices, houses, &T., into a perfect volcano
of fierce, concentrated, incinerating, and long-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 tire at Manchester, THOMAS MILNER. and SON
have pleasure in giving publicity to the following gratifying testi-
monial . Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Oct; 15, 1854.

- -
Gentlemen,—We have great pleasure in stating that, whilst our
offices were completely destroyed and burnt down in the great tire
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-
mense heat, and dug out of the ruins in a red-hot state. On
opening them we found our principal books and bills in a good
state of preservation. Some of the papers were singed anddis-
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
these facts, and. will thank you to make us new safes to specifica-
tion.—We are, Gentlemen, yours truly,
A. LEIDEMAN and Co.
Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son.

GREAT FIRE IN LOWER KING-STREET:
Messrs. Milner and Son.

Gentlemen,—ln the tWrific end destructive fire which broke out
yesterday morning, on the premises at the back of Mr. Carr's
coach manufactory, in Lower King-street, and the large pack of
buildings of whic., our warehouse formed a part, the whole of
which were completely gutted, and everything therein destroyed,
with the exception of our books and papers, contained is the safe
we bought from your agent here, some few years ago. This safe,
after being exposed to intense heat, fell during the conflagration
from the second storey to the basement, and was completely sur-
rounded by the burning mass. We beg to express the unqualified
gratification it affords us in being able to add to the numerous
testimonials to your valuable invention. We shall be glad to
afford any information to parties desirous of inquiring into the
facts herein stated.—We'are, Gentlemen, respectfully yours.
