measure being conformable to the jest wants and require-

extension of the elective franchise, both in counties and
burghs; second, that populous and important cities and

wealth, and importance than at present; third, that large

stock of both these desirable articles, matvlactured exeressly for Mr.
E. T. Hall, of South John•sireet, that challenge attention. These
boxes are male on new and admired principles, and possess patant
locks, which defy the ingenuity of any "pick-lock" in the world to
open, except with the legitimate key. To merchants, solicitors, and
others, these new safes, on a small .tale, must prove valuable indeed.
