SA SS ‘.FRAS CHOCOLATE.

DR. DE LA MOTTE'S NUTRITIVE, HEALTH
RESTORING AROMATIC CHOCOLATE,
PREPARED FROM THE NUTS OF THE SASSAFRAS TREE.
Sold by the Patentee, 12, Southampton-street,
Strand London.

T.
HIS CHOCOLATE contains the peculiar virtues of
of the Sassafras Root, which has been long held in great
estimation for its purifying and alterative properties. The
aromatic quality (which is very grateful to the stomach) most
invalids require for breakfast and evening repast, to promote
digestion, and to a deficiency of this property in the customary
breakfast and supper, 'nay in a great measure be attributed the
frequency of cases indigestion.generally termed bilious. It
has been found highly beneficial in correcting the state of the
digestive organs, &c., from whence arise many diseases, such
as eruptions of the skin, gout, rheumatism, and scrofula. In
cases of debility of the stomach, and a sluggish state of the
liver and intestines, occasioning flatulence, costiveness, &c.,
and in spasmodic asthma, it is:much recommended.

GREAT FIRE
IN MARKET-STREET, MANCHESTER ;

ENTIRELY CONSUMING A LARGE SQUARE OF WARE-
HOUSES, OFFICES, AND SHOPS.

N the last great Fire in George-street, Manchester,
I nine large Houses had their Books burned in Iron Safes,
Closets with Iron Doors, Wrought Iron Fireproof (?) Safes,
&c. &c. &c. ; and again on the above recent occasion, a great
number of parties have suffered the same calamity. The only
Safe which brought its contents uninjured out of the burning
mass being the one alluded to below.
" Manchester, August 13th, 1847.
" GENTLEMEN,—In the late Fire in Market-street, which
entirely gutted the entire block of buildings of which my Ware-
house formed part, I have sincere pleasure in informing you
that my books, together with a quantity of valuable papers,
watches, &c., were preserved uninjured in one of your Fire-
resisting Safes, which I strongly recommend to the public.
" I am your obedient servant,
" THOMAS HAIGH, Woollen Merchant,
" New Brown-street and Market-street.
" Messrs. Milner and Son."

The outside of this Safe was partially melted: the contents
inside unsinged, being steamed (boiled instead of burned) by
the evaporating principle of the Safe. Near to it a large
Wrought Iron Fireproof (?) chambered Safe, full of valuable
Books and Documents before the Fire, was found to contain
nothing but tinder and ashes after it I

secure depositories for Books, Documents, and Valuables ; in-
cluding the strongest Wrought-iron Safes, Closets, and Doors
in the World, lined with their unequalled Fire-resisting Cham-
bers. Out of upwards of 20,000 of their Safes in use amongst
the Manufacturing and Commercial Houses of Great Britain—
the class best able to appreciate their value—numerous cases of
exposure to accidental tire have occurred, from which Thomas
Milner and Son select the following as instances, in which they
are of opinion that no other Safe than their own would have
preserved its contents unburnt.
Fire at Mr. J. Blackaller's Ship and Chandlery
Spar-
ling-street, Liverpool; a sti ong and fierce Fire; Safe most
severely burnt outside; contents unsinged.
Fire at Messrs. J. and W. Walkers', the extensive builders,
Birkenhead; buildings
entirely gutted, everything burnt in

and in use now.
Fire at Messrs. Garniss and Co.'s, Park-lane; a very strong
fire; again the contents of Milners' Safe the only thing saved,
on the premises.
Fire at Plimsaul Brothers', of Plymouth; a very extensive
and destructive fire; a large Iron Safe covered with brickwork
with double Iron doors burnt out ; Milners' entirely preserving
its contents.
Fire in Queen-street, Glasgow; a great number of Safes and
Closets burnt out; no books saved throughout the buildings
excepting Messrs. S. R. and Thomas Browns', in Mailers*

FOREIGN (5- COLONIAL' INTELLIGENC E

WEST INDIES

The royal mail steam-packet Teviot, Captain E. May,
arrived at Southampton on Thursday, bringing the usual
mails and thirty-nine passengers.
The Teviot brings 407,650 dollars on merchants' ac-
counts, 'but none for dividends; -7191 oz. of plata bruta;
81Ib of platina; 80 bales of tobacco ; 95 cases of cigars;
40 serons of cochineal; and 49 packages of sundries. She
has encountered very severe weather since the 27th ult.
We have received our usual files of papers by the Teviot,
and learn from them that the Chamber of Commerce,
Jamaica, had been organizing a combined movement in
aid of the West India colonies, 'dated September 8,
despatehed per Teviot to Barbadoes, Trinidad, Antigua,
St. Vincent, and Demerara, and hy other means to other
places, a meeting of two delegates from each West India
Isle and British Guinea had been convened to take place
at St. Thomas; then and there to consider the evils to
which the British planter was -exposed by the effects of
free trade on colonial production.
The accounts from Jamaica and Trinidad, as to the state
of the weather, were very encouraging. At both places
heavy and much needed rain,had fallen. At the latter
place a slight eartbquake was experienced which was also
felt at Grenada. The drought continued at Barbadoes and
Grenada. The ordinance whieh passed fixing ls. per gal-
lon on all rum made for local consumption was most un-
popular, and public meetings were being held to obtain a
removal of the. restriction.
-

In the Jamaica markets the business of the past fort-
night has not been marked with any new feature; indeed,
there has not been any change in the state of our market
since the period of our last issue. Some trifling improve-
ment has occurred in tae price of a few articles, but it is
to be attributed rather to their scarcity than to a revival
of a speculative demand. Purchases continue to be made
merely for immediate consumption, while the pressure on
the money market has not been .relieved in the slightest
