ROLL YOUNG WHEATS in the SPRING,
after Frost and Snow have left the plants bare, or
where the Wireworm and Grub have ravaged a portion ; then
CROSSKILL'S ROLLER is better than treading with sheep, its
action going down to the roots of the plant, and leaving the
wheat firm and secure. After thus rolling. the crop grows
stronger and made even, and the result is an increase of
quantity of a more equal and better sample for the Miller.
Parties uniting to order a truck-load of THREE Rollers at
once allowed TEN per Cent. off.
EASY-RUNNING IMPROVED CARTS AND WAGGONS
lessen the Horse-power and Horse-keep necessary for carry-
ing work. Parties wanting new Carts or Wheels, by ordering
THREE Carts at once (made by Crosskill's Patent Machi-
nery), or by uniting to order FOUR Sets of Wheels and Axles,
allowed TEN per Cent. off.
BELL'S PRIZE REAPING MACHINE, after competition
with M'Cormack's, Hussey's, end others, at the Pusey, York,
and Stirling trials, GAINED EVERY PRIZE. Full particu-
lars of the Judges' Reports, Sze., may be had in CROSS-
KILL'S NEW ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE, on application
per post, enclosing six penny postage-stamps. Mr. Almack, of
Leckonfield Park •, Mr. Clark, of Bishop Burton - Mr. George
Hope, of Fenton Barns, and others, who worked Bell's Reaper
last harvest, may be referred to if necessary. Orders must
begiven early for next harvest, as the Machines are made
in rotation as ordered, and present prices are likely to be
advanced.

CARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION
PAINT, specially patronised by the British, French,
Russian, and Sicilian Governments, the Hon. East India Corn-
pany, the New River Company, the principal. Dock Companies,
and other Public Bodies.

The ANTI-CORROSION PAINT has been used by the
Hon. Board of Ordnance for upwards of half a century, who
have proved it to prevent rust or corrosion on Iron longer
and better than the very best White Lead, or any other de-
scription of Paint; and in consequence of its possessing this
invaluable quality, all the Iron Guns and Gun Carriages, both
for land and sea service, have been painted with it for the
above period. It has also been used in great quantities by
other public bodies, and by numbers of Gentlemen of the
first distinction, to preserve Wooden Houses, Farm and other
Outbuildings, Conservatories, Park Paling, Gates, Iron Rail-
ing, Iron Hurdles, Copper, Zinc, Lead, old Compo, &c.,
Fronts and Tiles to represent Slating. It will be found a very
superior preservative of Iron Steamboats, Iron Bridges,
Piers, or any other extensive Iron Works.

MESSRS. DAVID BOYD 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' Safe 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, gentlemen, 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 night our
warehouse was entered by burglars, who attempted to blow
open with gunpowder your strong Holdfast Safe, m which we
keep our books and cash (then amounting to .e 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. MUSORAVES BROTHERS.

GENTLEMEN,—At your request I beg to—stale, 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 Milners' Patent Safes. From the intense
nature of the fire, and the length of time the Safe was exposed
to the action of the flames, I was fully convinced of the de-
struction of the books and papers it contained; and feel very
great pleasure in testifying to this extraordinary instance of
their preservation. I may add, that the Safe was placed on
the third story, w►thout 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 late
Thomas T. Major, of the firm of T. Major and Co.

MILNERS' PHCENIX SAFE-WORKS, WINDSOR.
SHOWROOMS, 64, LORD-STREET, LIVERPOOL.

This Paint is admirably adapted for preventing the decay
of old stone or brick Mansions, Churches, or other Public
Edifices requiring an effectual defence against the elements:
It is particularly recommended to West India and other Co-
lonial Proprietors, Emigrants, and all persons connected with
the Colonies, who will find it to stand all climates better than
any other Paint. The superiority of the Anti-Corrosion to
any other Paint may be easily inferred from the simple fact
that its use has been always most strenuously opposed by
Colour Manufacturers and others interested in the sale of
Common Paint. _

Noblemen and Landed Proprietors, anxious to have their
Outbuildings, &c., properly preserved, will effect a very con-
siderable saving by desiring their Stewards to order the Anti-
Corrosion Paint, as any labourer can lay it no, thereby saving
the enormous charges generally made by painters.

The Anti-Corrosion is a powder, and it will keep any length
of time. Colours : White stone, light stone, drab, or Portland
stone, Bath stone, light and dark yellow stone, light and dark
oak, brown, light and dark lead, light and dark chocolate,
bright and dark red, copper, and black, 345. per cwt. ; invisi-
ble green, 50s. ; bright green, 60s. ; deep green, 60s. ; and blue
(for carts and wagons). 60s. per cwt.; in casks 281b5., 561b5.,
1121bs. each, and upwards.—Large tied Brushes, 3s. 6(1.
small tied Ditto, 2s. 6d. ; and Sash Tools, Is. 6d. each.
OIL and TURPENTINE, at per Gallon.
One cwt. Casks, Is. 6d.; half and quarter cwt. ditto, Is.
each. Same allowed for returned empty oil packages, as
charged, viz., Is. per gallon.
The Expense of the Colours, at 345. per cwt., when the
weight of the O►l is added, is about 4d. per lb. ; and those at
605., about 6d. per lb.
The Original Anti-Corrosion Paint is only to be obtained of

Successors to the Inventors,) No, 9, GREAT INCHESTER-
STREET,Oid Broad-street, near the Royal Exchange, LONDON,

HAIR MANUFACTURER, No. 7, PARKER-STREET, begs most respectfully to thank his Patrons for the liberal
support which he has received during the time he has been in business ; and begs most respectfully to ask the favour of
parties visiting to he kind enough to make early application, so that they can be waited upon punctually,.as the establishment
closes every Evening at 8 o'clock (except on public ball nights), and on Saturday at 10 o'clock.
Mr. G. calls particular attention to his CIRCASSIAN BALM for restoring and invixorating the Human Hair. Its
extraordinary qualities for producing hair excels anything of the kind ever produced. Also his MILK OF ALMONDS, one of
the most delightful and cleansing Washes for dressing and imparting a glossy luxuriant appearance discovered, as the extract
is divested of all those drying qualities which have been so much complained of in all Hair Washes. A large assortment of
PERFUMERY, BRUSHES, COMBS, &c. &c. Families and Boarding-schools attended.
Mr. G. consulted personally on all cases on the Decay of the Human Hair.

EOLIAN VEN'TILATOR HAT,
(6 AND 7 VIC, CAP. 65),

LONDON, 31iiT OCTOBER, 1853.
The want of a properly Ventilated and Easy-fitting Hat, particularly since the introduction of the Silk Hats into general
ase, has given rise to many seeming improvements. The Inventors and Patentees of the EOLIAN VENTILATOR HAT
have succeeded on the correct principle of Ventilation, by forming an Air Channel immediately around the head, permitting
a current of air to pass from thence through and out at the top of the Hat; and the design may be applied to every variety
of shape worn, without infringing the light appearance so necessary to a becoming Hat.—See Practical Mechanics' Journal,
Ist August, 1853, (date of Provisional Protection).
In directing attention to this new and very desirable Spring and Summer Hat we respectfully invite an inspection, when
its utility will be most apparent, and its general style best understood.
