CEA.TWOODISS.k.FE.--411 requirement of a protection
to valitable property against an element so uncertain. and
so destructive- as tire has long been acknowledged,
and in some measure has been complied witli. Oha,t-
wood's safe is a new candidate for publiofavoor, having
nothing peculiar in ita construction, but recommending
itself to the public on the ground of its cheapness com-
pared with other safes, which the manofacturer of this
safe considers not superior in their fire-resisting qualities.
Its adaptation to the purpose for which it is intended
was yesterday put to public test, and the result was as
satisfaotory as could , have been anticipated.. Upon a
piece of „ground adjoining the Queen's. Hotel, in Lime-
street, a large fire was kindled, and in its midst was
placed one of the lowest quality of the safes. A ,tlO
note, a gold watch, .a, silver spoon,, and somo.papers,
having been placed inside, and the door having- been
locked, the key was handed to a stranger chosen from the
trowd, by whom it was held ,during the test.. The fire
was then ignited, and for three bours—narnely, from
12.45 to 3:4—the safe was subjected to the most intense
heat, At the eipiratioit of the three hours the fire was
extinguished, and the articles were removed undamaged,
the watch having gone regularly. Shortly afterwards,
a few gentlemen, including the umpires, who hatthcen
selected miscellaneously from the crowd, partook of a
luncheon at the Queen's Hotel, and on the cloth being
removed, '4 &mess to Chatwood's safes and to Mr.
Chatwood," and Various other toasts were proposed and
responded to. -

WORKS COMMITTEE.
From the minutes of this committee it appeared that
an Application .was read from stinary shippers, of coal,
requesting. the allotment of a specific: space, on the
margin of the GErpat Float, for the accommodation of
the coal trade; ana that the coal trade were invited to'
an interview with the committee on.Satnrday next.
Mr. BROCKLEBANK moved the confirmation of the
proceedings.
Mr. Routh asked whether there was any prospect of
the award from Mr. Stewart" respecting; the .matter
which was before them a. few weeks ago. Mr. Stewart,
he believed, had promised an immediate:decision.
The CHAIRMAN said he saw Mr. Stewart after the
matter was mentioned at the board, and he promised 1
to give his immediate attention to the matter.. I
h, Mr. BOULT said they might almost as well be in the
I Court of Chancery. He should never hear of Mr.
Stewart's name again but he should think of Lord
I,Eision (Laughter.)
Mr. BROC.KL' BANK said he saw Mr. Stewart on the
previous day; and he really thought they would have
the award very soon. The negotiation in question was
one of a most aifficult character. and one which no *other
individual but Mr. Stewart could satisfactorily perform.
(Hear, hear.).
The proceedings were confirmed.
WA REHOUSE COMMITTEE.
The proceedings of this committee were next need.
Mr. Hummex., in moving the confirmation of the

was expended, at the reqnest of the London and North.
Western Railway Company. Notwithstanding that the
,'communication had existed for the last seventeen months,
the total amount of revenue had been £1 25., for
the ,conveyance of about 40 tons of bones. In future
they 'must be more cautious. how they .spent money
without having a guarantee-that the convenienee would
be'inide use of. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. Aotib:r—ll hope the rule will be made •to hold
