GENTLEMEN,—In the large fire on Wednesday, March Ist,
which destroyed all the property in my warehouse, lam happy
to say that your Fire-resisting Safe preserved my books and
documents uninjured, although completely surrounded

flames.
21, Bread-street, Manchester, 3rd March, 1854.

MESSRS. THOS. MILNER AND SON.
DEAR SIRS,-In 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 Ist 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.—
and We

are,
dear sir, yours respectfully, RYLANDS S

EXTENSIVE FIRE IN GLASGOW.
MESSRS. DkVID BOYD AND CO.
GENTLEMEN At the serious fire in Union-street, yester-
day, by which my counting-house was destroed, 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 1 have just
seen.—l am, gentlemen, your obedient servantN DODDS.

DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP MILNERS'

DEAR 5155,—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, in 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,

GREAT FIRE IN BELFAST.
MESSRS. MUSORAVES BROTHERS.
GENTLEMEN,—At your request I beg to state, saved from
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
mature of the fire, and the length of time the Safe was int
ense
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, 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 late
Thomas T. Major, of the firm of T. Major and Co.

BETTS'S PATENT METALLIC CAPSULES
are now being generally adopted by the Ale and
Porter Export Trade, being the only safeguard against fraud.
See the Sydney Mercantile Journal and' Shipping Register.
Dec. 1. 1853 :
"Bottlers should not relax in their best methods of getting
up Beer, or their names will lose the credit which is now
attached to them. A good deal of 'Malt Liquor of an inferior
quality is bottled in this Colony with English Labels; this is
passed off at auctions as genuine, and the English bottlers are
damnified in credit and of course in profit ; but if they kept
up their quality and Capsuled and wired their bottles, spurious
articles could not be so easily foisted on the public."
As a convincing proof of the appreciation of the merits and
utility of our Capsules, we subjoin the following letter, re-
ceived from Messrs. Barclay, Perkins, and Co.'s Sole Agent,
Mr. JOHN TYRER, of Liverpool
