MESSRS. THOS. MILNER AND SON.

DEAR SIRS,—!n answer to your inquiry, the Fire-resisting
Safe made by you was a very small one ; though exposed to a
tremendous fire, and much injured by large masses of mate-
rials falling upon it, and remaining under the burning mass
several days (from March lit to March 6th), yet we are glad
to say the most valuable part of its contents were so little
injured that the writing was easily transcribed.—We are,
dear sir, yours respectfully, RYLANDS and SONS.

EXTENSIVE FIRE IN GLASGOW.
MESSRS. DAVID DOYD AND CO.
GENTLEMEN At the serious fire in Union-street, yester-
day, by which my counting-house was destroyed, I owed the
preservation of my books to the Milners' Sate in which they
were kept. The contents of a wall safe were totally destroyed
at the same time. You will please send me immediately an-
other " Milner" of the same size as the one I had, being
thoroughly satisfied of their safety, after the test I have just
seen.—l am, gentlem'en, your obedient servant,
(Signed) JOHN DODDS.

DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP MILNERS'
HOLDFAST SAFE WITH GUNPOWDER.
MESSRS. THOMAS MILNER AND SON.
DEAR SIRS,—We beg to acquaint you that last nicht our
warehouse was entered by burglars, who attempted to blow
open with gunpowder your strong Holdfast Safe, in which we
keep our books and cash (then amounting to £475), and, we
are happy to add, without success.—We are, dear sirs, your
most obedient servants,
(Signed) FORREST and BROMLEY.

GREAT FIRE IN BELFAST.
MESSRS. MUSoRATES BROTHERS.
GENTLEMEN,—At your request I beg to state, for the in-
formation of the public, that the only property saved from the
late fire in the premises of Thomas S. Major and Co., was that
contained in one of IV:Liners' Patent Safes. From the intense
nature of the fire., and the length of time the Safe was exposed
to the action /.!,f the flames, I was fully convinced of the de-
struction' the books and papers it contained ; and feel very
great n',easure in testifying to this extraordinary instance of
their Preservation. I may add, that the Safe was placed on
',.ne third stay, without any protection, where it remained till
the floor was burned around it, when it fell to the room be •
neath, the floor of which was likewise destroyed by the fire.--
Yours truly, JAMES S. HUNTER, Executor of the
Thomas T. Major, of the firm of T. Major and late
Thomas
