RESPECTFULLY call the attention of Sportsmen
to the above invention, which has now been in use Three
Seasons, and is highly approved by all who have given it a trial.
Among the advantages possessed by the Central Fire Gun,
are, increased quickness c t discharge, with greater force, per-
fect safety, and less recoil than the old plan.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES IN GLASGOW, MAN-

MILNER'S " HOLDFAST " and FIRE-RESIST-
ING SAFES are the strongest, best, and cheapest safe-
guards in the world against fire, robbery, and fraud ; 20,000 of
them Veep the books, deeds, and cash of the practical men of
Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, &c., who know their supe-
riority to any other others. Five of them have brought their
contents unscathed out of the ruins of large fires in Glasgow
alone this year, wherein scores of other safes have been burnt
out. Twenty-five offices were burnt out in Lincoln's Inn in
January, in one alone of which the title-deeds of thirty large
landed estates were burnt, which would all have been preserved
in Milner's Safes. From some hundreds of certificates, the
following is selected, as one out of many instanees in which
everything was consumed in the buildings excepting what
Milner's Safe contained:— _

"Clyde-street, Anderston, Glasgow, May 7,1849.
"Gentlemen,—At the calamitous fire yesterday morning, by
which our premises, and stock of oil, tallow, &c., were totally,
destroyed, our books were preserved in the Milner's Fireproof
Safe, purchased from you. We have great pleasure in thus
bearing testimony to the great efficiency of these Safes.
"CHARLES BOYD and Co.
"This Safe was most severely tested, the brass knob and
brass work about the lock were melted off."

"Glasgow, 10th February, 1849.
"Gentlemen,—The books and papers which we had in your
Fire-resisting Safe, which was subjected to a most intense heat
for several hours at the late fire in Gordon-street, on Thursday
last, were wholly preserved—the property saved being of ex-
treme importance to us. We have, therefore, great pleasure in
communicating this fact, deeming your Safes invaluable as a
protection against fire, and an invention with which the public
cannot be too well acquainted.
" We are, gentlemen, your obedient servants,

open last night; but notwithstanding the great and persevering
violence with which the robbers have worked at the door and
back of the safe both of which are beaten in and cut through
the outer plates in numerous places,) the lock and bolts re-
mained true, and saved the contents. You may send us another

• In the numerous accidental Fires and experimental tests
which Milner's Safes have been exposed to—et•ery description
of Safe in use—Fire-proof (so called) or otherwise, have been
burnt out beside them, confirming the recommendation of the
scientific and practical authorities who have tested them and
the Patentees, during seven years' active working of their pa-
tent, on a rapidly extending scale, have spared no pains or cost
in effecting improvements, by which they are enabled to pledge
themselves at all times to supply the most complete and secure
dtpositories for Books, Documents, and Valuables, including
the strongest Wrought-Iron Safes, Closets, and Doors in the
world, lined with their unequalled Fire-resisting Chambers.
Out of upwards of 20,000 of their Safes in use amongst the
Manufacturing and Commercial Houses in Great Britain—the
class best able to appreciate their value—numerous cases of se-
vere trial in accidental Fires 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. B. Blackaller's Ship Chandlery Store, Spar-
ling-street, Liverpool; a strong and fierce Fire; Safe moat
severely burnt outside.
Fire at Messrs. J. and W. Walkers', the extensive builders,
Birkenhead; buildings entirely gutted, everything burnt in
them, including the contents of a large Iron Safe and Drawers,
standing beside Milner's ; the contents of Milners' uninjured,
and in use now. _ _

Fire at Messrs. Garniss and Co.'s, Park-lane; a very strong
Fire; again the contents of Milner's 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 Brick-
work, with double iron doors, burnt out ; Milner's 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. a .d Thomas Brown's, in Milner's Safe.

THE ROYAL VISIT TO IRELAND AND_
SCOTLAND. %, \

From two o'clock on Sunday afternoon week the heights
above Kingstown harbour were thronged with eager 1
crowds, to witness her Majesty's arrival at this portion of
her dominions. Shortly after six the royal squadron was
discovered rounding the land at Dalkey; and .in a few I
minutes more the booming of cannon announced the pre-
sence of the Sovereign. The harbour of Kingstown pre-
sented at this time a splendour of marine array 'which
might have challenged the ideal grandeur of an Eastern 1
festival. The royal yacht was brought to her moorings.
and her Majesty, accompanied by Prince Albert, appeared
on the quarter deck, and acknowledged the rapturous '
cheerings with which she was received.
At ten o'clock on Monday morning the royal party pro-
ceeded to land; and on her Majesty setting her foot for
the first time on Irish ground. the Harbour-master of
Kingstown hoisted the royal standard amidst deafening ;
cheers, followed by a salute from the cannon of the war-
ships in the harbour. Altogether, her Majesty's reception
in Kingstown was magnificent and cordial. The party
were embarked in the railway train, and proceeded to
Sandymcunt Avenue, the houses on the whole line of
railway being decorated and filled with anxious spectators.
At this place her Majesty had to proceed to her carriage,
over a platform, covered with crimson cloth and tastefully
decorated : and the scene—the cortege and attendants,
military, &c.—was most splendid. The state carriage
having been drawn up to the platform, Her Majesty, Prince
Albert, with the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal
entered, Lady Jocelyn following with the other Royal
children. Her Majesty's carriage was an open one; and
she repeatedly acknowledged the cheering with which she
was received here, and along the road to Dublin.
At about 20 minutes to eleven the royal cortege arrived
at the city gates (erected for the cccasion), when an equerry
demanded atmittance and received the keys, the city mace
and sword, which were presented by the Lord Mayor,
on a magnificent silver salver. His lordship addressed her
Majesty, congratulating her on her safe arrival, and re-
questing to be permitted to accompany her on her progress
through the city. Her Majesty having redelivered the keys,
and expressed her pleasure at her reception, proceeded
through Herbert-street, Merrion-square. Nassau-street,
Grafton -street, West m oreland-street, and Sackville- street,
to the Vice-regent-lodge.
As the procession passed under a triumphal arch in
Eccles-street, a dove was lowered from a window into the
royal carriage, which her Majesty placed beside her, amid
loud cheers from the vast multitude assembled at this '
point.
Her Majesty entered the Vice-regal Lodge at a quarter
past twelve o'clock. '
The decorations in the streets through which her Ma-
jesty passed were splendid, and her reception throughout
most enthusiastic.
On entering Merrion-square, the effect of the numerous
balconies and countless ornaments and floral emblems of
the houses in the fine open space was very picturesque.
In one house a number of fine children, with blue sashes
round their waists, and bearing a host of little banners,
joined with their tiny voices on the deep shout of the peo-
ple. The Prince of Wales, whose natural gracefulness se-
cured him the applause of every woman, acknowledged
these marks of respect with much earnestness and viva-
city. At the entrance to Nassau. street a splendid Gothic
arch extended across the street, from the top of which the
royal standard of England floated. Upon the crown of
the arch was the word " Welcome," in large letters,
formed of laurel and oak leaves, and over it a gorgeous
harp and crown, with the letters " V. A." at either side.
It was one of the best designed and most elegant struc-
tures of the kind ever witnessed. On arriving at the
noble area which is surrounded by the Bank of Ireland,
the front of Trinity College, and Dame-street, the cheer-
ing became overpowering. This, we may state, is the
locality so well known to many of our readers as College-
green. The facade of old Trinity was blocked up to the
second story by a huge platform, covered with thousands
of those who had interest enough with the body corporate
of that seat of learning to procure admission. The Bank
bore on its roof an equally large assemblage. Every
house top had numerous occupants. With similar
honours the procession moved slowly on till it entered
Sackville-street—that extremely wide and, no doubt,
very noble thoroughfare. with whose breadth and length
the citizens are wont to silence any comparisons between
Dublin and other capitals—where the ensemble of stately
houses. the front of the Post-office, the towering height
of Nelson's Pillar (with its huge ensign streaming from its
top), and the dome of the Rotunda terminating the vista,
presented 3 magnificent spectacle. Here, again, the
enthusiasm was great.
The illuminations were universal. There was scarcely
a house from the centre to the furthest suburbs of the
city, as well as in the adjacent villages, which did not ex•
hibit a blaze of light. The public buildings contributed
to the effect by rare and elegant devices. Towards mid-
night the rain came down, but it did not diminish the
enthusiasm of the vast and orderly multitude who filled
every street.
At five o'clock, her Majesty proceeded in an open car-
riage, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert
and suite on horseback, to Glasnevin. Her Majesty was
received at the Botanical Gardens by the Duke of
Leinster and other members of the society, and after
inspecting t'ie grounds drove round the park. Her
Majesty was frequently recognised during the drive, and
was most warmly cheered.
in the Viceregal Lodge, the royal boudoir, the drawing-
room, the music salon, and the dining-room, have been
entirely re-decorated and re-furnished for the reception of
her Majesty. The dining-room was now used for the
first time, the apartment having been built expressly for
the accommodation of the Queen during her contem-
plated visit before the death of Lord Besborough.
The following is a list of those who had the honour of
dining with her Majesty :—The Lord-Lieutenant and the
Countess of Clarendon, his Royal Highness Prince George
of Cambridge, Viscount Jocelyn, the Lord Primate, the
Lord Chancellor and Mrs. Brady, the Marquis of Lans-
downe, the Duke and Duchess of Leinster, the Marquis
of Breadalbane, the Marquis of Headfort, the Marquis
and Marchioness of Lontloaderry, the Earl and Countess
of Clancarty, the Hon. Miss Dawson, the Right Hon.
Sir G. Grey, Sir Edward and Lady Blakeney, Chief Jus-
tice and Mrs. Blackburne, the Earl of Charlemont. the
Earl of Desert, Colonel Phipps, Mr. Corry Connellan,
and Captain Begot, Aide-de-Camp in Waiting.
Tuesday was a quiet day after the excitement of Mon-
day. The rain came down in torrents, and the streets
were soon a mass of mud, from the quantity of dust caused
by the crowds of the night before who attended to see the
illuminations. But her Majesty did not allow the weather
to interfere with her intentions. Her Majesty devoted
the day to the inspection of the public buildings. She
was most warmly received by the people in the streets,
and her reception is certainly one with which her Majesty
may justly be gratified. The Bank of Ireland (formerly
the Parliament House), the National Education Board,
Trinity College, Dublin. and the Royal Hospital, were
visited in succession. When at Trinity College, among
the volumes examined by her Majesty was a copy of Sal-
lust, of the 15th century, with the autograph of Mary,
Queen of Scots. The Queen was pleased to leave in the
library another royal autograph, which will hereafter be
regarded with still greater interest, as a memorial of her
visit to Ireland. She wrote her name in one of the blank
leaves of the Book of Kells ; and immediately beneath
her Majesty's signature Prince Albert was pleased to write
his name.
. On Wednesday morning, at nine o'clock, an inspection
of the regiments of cavalry quartered in Dublin took
place in Phoenix Park, under the command of Prince
George of Cambridge, in the presence of his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert, who appeared on horseback, and was
much cheered by the admiring crowds. At one o'clock,
her Majesty, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince
Albert and the royal suite, left the Viceregal Lodge to
hold a levee at the Castle. The entrance to the park and
the whole carriage drive were lined by well-dressed groups,
who most cordially saluted her Majesty as the royal car-
riage passed. The bridges and quays on both banks of
the Liffey were crowded from twelve o'clock with expect-
ant spectators of the cortege, and every street in Dublin
through which it had to pass presented an animated
throng, who vociferously applauded her Majesty and the
Prince. Her Majesty wore a green tabinet dress, with
shamrocks embroidered in gold, a blue scarf, and a splen-
did bandeau studded with diamonds. Prince Albert was
attired in military costume. Previous to holding the
general levee, a court was held for the purpose of receiving
addresses of congratulation from the corporation and the
university. The address from the university was read by
the Lord Primate. Her Majesty thanked the deputation
for their loyal, address. The deputation then, through
Dr. Singer, presented an address to Prince Albert, con-
ferring on him an honorary degree, to which he made a
suitable acknowledgment. The Lord Lieutenant then
signified to the deputation that her Majesty requested
that the members of the deputation would consider them-
selves as presented without going through the formal
mode of presentation. Dr. Wall and Dr. Singer, were
then presented by the primate, and kissed her Malesty's
hand. The deputation consisted of the primate, as visitor,
all the fellows and scholars, a considerable number of
doctors of divinity, law, medicine, science, Lord Farnham,
Mr. Hamilton, and Mr. Napier. They walked in proces-
sion from the college, and formed an interesting spectacle
in their several academic robes. The levee was then held.
The number of presentations was beyond all expectation,
amounting to nearly 3,000, besides :deputations from
various public bodies. Shortly after six o'clock, her
Majesty left the castle. There was a considerable crowd
assembled outside, who cheered lustily, as the royal car-
riages drove off to Phcenix Park.
On Thursday, there was a grand review and sham fight
in Phoenix Park, in which all the troops quartered in
Dublin took part. With the punctuality which has long
been one of her most prominent characteristics, the Queen,
in an open carriage drawn by four splendid greys, and pre-
ceded by outriders in the royal livery, swept along the
winding road from the Viceregal Lodge on to the review
ground, a few minutes after ten o'clock. Her Majesty
was escorted by a squadron of the 7th Hussars, and in the
immediate vicinity of the royal vehicle rode his Royal
Highness Prince Albert, in the uniform of a Field Mar-
shal, his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, his Royal
Highness Prince George of Cambridge, Sir Edward Blake-
ney, and a numerous and brilliant staff. Her Majesty
looked remarkably well, and was untiring in her gracious
acknowledgments of the lcud, long, and oft-repeated
hurrahs which greeted her approach, and were kept up
without intermission until the imposing cortege whirled
across the open space and commenced passing down the
long-extended line. From the extreme left, which was
occupied by the Enniskilleners, to the right flank, where
the Lancers and Artillery completed the line, an array of
gallant soldiery, nearly three miles in lenzth, must have
extended. The mounted constabulary, too, formed an
attractive feature in the scene ; and, in point of men,
horses, and equipments, showed to advantage even in the
presence of the more martial men at arms. The evolu-
tions, which were of the usual character, marching past
in slow and quick time, charging, skirmishing, firing in
line, and receiving cavalry in square, appeared to have

ings of the people. The morning gave the test of the
feeling of the upper and higher classes; now for the test
of the lower classes essentially. A few moments, and
the royal cortege appeared—Prince Atbert sad Lord Cla-
rendon on horseback in the front—immediately behind,
the Queen in an open carriage—not a soldier, nets police-
man—and such a welcome; one loud hurrah, the spon-
taneous burst of the feelings of the mob—as we may call
them, but not offensively—and then this mob suddenly
formed themselves into an escort, and, quick as were her
Majesty's blood-horses, they could not for some time
outstretch the speed of her escort, who, on each side of
the carriage, and almost hanging on its steps, cheered her
Majesty with such shouts as could only come from their
hearts, while the women blessed her as she passed. To
us this spectacle, trifling and short as it was, speaks a
lesson more true of the feelings of our people towards
the Queen, and of the public opinion of the course of the
nobleman to whom the country is indebted for the royal
visit, than a thousand pageants."
HER MAJESTY'S DEPARTURE FROM DUI3LTN.
Amidst the pealing of cannon and the cheers of all, the
Queen stepped on board, followed by the Prince, the royal
children, and her suite. The royal yacht at once moved
off, and her Majesty, accompanied by the Prince Consort
and the children, proceeded aft to the elevated space near
the taffrail, where she was in full view of the people, and
remained there so long as she could have a distinct view of
the features of the people at the pier at which she em-
barked. Her Majesty then paced the deck for a little
time, and on approaching the extremity of the pier near
the lighthouse, where vast numbers of people had congre-
gated, she parted with the two ladies-in-waiting with
whom she had been up to this time in conversation, looked
towards the crowd, ran along the deck with the spright-
liness of a young girl, and, with the agility of a sailor,
ascended the paddle-box, which, as our readers are aware,
is a tolerably high one, and was almost at its top before
she was observed by Prince Albert, who for some time
previously had been standing on its summit viewing the
surrounding scenery. Her Majesty on reaching the top
of the platform was assisted by Prince Albert, and taking
his arm she gracefully waved her right hand towards the
people on the pier. After some time she waved a white
handkerchief, appeared to give an order to the command-
ant, and immediately the paddles ceased to move, and the
vessel floated on with the impetus it had already received.
Her Majesty remained in this position (the vessel moving
very slowly and as close to the pier as was compatible with
safety), waving her handkerchief, and receiving the plau-
dits of the thousands who crowded the extremity of the
pier. An occasional revolution of. the paddle kept the
vessel in motion, and in this way the Victoria and Albert
drifted rather than steamed past the pier, and until the
royal yacht had passed full half a mile from the pier the
speed was not altered, nor did her Majesty leave the pad-
dle-box, but continued gracefully to acknowledge the
manner in which she had been received by the citizens of
Dublin. Three steamers laden with passengers kept close
on the side of the royal yacht for some distance, and again
the yacht slackened speed, and the little steamers bidding
her Majesty farewell with a hearty cheer returned towards
Kingstown Harbour.

The Queen and Prince Albert have ordered some Irish
stockings from the manufactory at Balbriggan.
Her Majesty intends to create the Prince of Wales, Earl
of Dublin, which title will hereafter be always borne by
the heir-apparent to the throne.
Sir Robert Peel, accompanied by Lady and Miss Peel,
arrived at Edinburgh on Tuesday afternoon, and were to
leave at ten o'clock the next morning for Perth, and were
to arrive in Glasgow in sufficient time to join the Royal
party.
Nearly all the boats along the county Down coast were
hired for the occasion of the Queen's visit, and all suitable
situations for viewing the passing fleet were monopolised.
One eccentric old gentleman offered to " let" an ash tree
on his land near the shore, from the branches of which,
he said, there would be the best view "of everything
worth seeing."

FOREIGN AND COLONIAL.

FRANCE.

The French Assembly has approved of the expedition
to Rome by a majority of 423 to 176. The French minis-
try, however, are as puzzled as ever as to what they shall
do, now their army holds possession of the Eternal City.
The Pope will not yield an iota of his temporal authority,
and the people would rather return to the Republic than
have him back with a bevy of Cardinal administrators.
As for the French Republic, it is daily sinking deeper
into difficulties. The deficit in the revenue is enormous
and increasing. New taxes are spoken of, but the people
cannot pay the old ones. Till the financial perils are
surmounted no government in France can have the
slightest stability. All in the country is gloom, with the
solitary exception of the laugh raised by an assurance of
the shifty Lamartine that Louis Bonaparte is the man for
the mission, and that the hand of Providence was manifest
in his Presidential triumph !
M. Lamartine, who is confined with an attack of acute
rheumatism, has been compelled to solicit of the Legisla-
tive Assembly an unlimited leave of absence in order to
sell his patrimonial estate and liquidate his pecuniary
engagements. . .

Pierre Bonaparte has been released from arrest on
giving his word of honour to the President of the Assembly
that he should be forthcoming when called upon.
The President of the Republic, accompanied by the
Vice-President and four of the Ministers, left Paris on
Saturday morning at 9 o'clock for Rouen. lie was re-
ceived at the railroad station with cries of " Vive Napo-
leon," " Vive le President." He arrived at Rouen at
1 o'clock. His first act was to proceed to the cathedral,
where he was received by the Archbishop and clergy. He
then reviewed the National Guards and troops, and re-
paired at 4 o'clock to the Mairie, where he received the
authorities, and afterwards visited the iron manufactory
of M. Barbet. At 7 o'clock he was entertained at a
magnificent banquet given him by the city.
Lieutenant and Mrs. Heald (Lola Montez) have arrived
in Paris.

THE PEACE CONGRESS IN PARIS.—This convention,
which held its first meeting at Brussels last year, will
assemble at Paris on the 22d instant. The following are
among the principal subjects which are likely to come
under the discussion of the Congress :—The settlement
of international disputes by arbitration ; the necessity of
a general disarmament, progressive and simultaneous ; the
removal of the causes of war, by such economical and
political means as will tend to open new modes of inter-
national communication ; the extension of postal reform ;
the reduction of public expenditure ; the universal reform
of commercial tariffs, the multiplication of peace societies,
the progress of moral education, the adaptation of public
teaching to the special requirements of particular com-
mittees, and the uniformity of weights, measures, and
currency.
