GREAT FIRE AT THE GUTTA
ILA FERCHA COMPANY'S WORKS, AND DEFEATED

BURGLARIES.
THOMAS MILNER and SON have sincere pleasure in
communicating to their Friends and the Public the following
new -endorsements to the claims of their HOLDFAST and
FIRE-RESISTING SAFES. The Fire at the Gutta Pemba
Company's Works was of the most intense character, as may
well be conceived from the nature of its food. Gutta Percha,
Oil, Naptha, reducing the buildings to a pile of gutted red-hot
walls. The Safe has been most severely tried, as the letter
testifies, and brought its contents out of the Furnace without
a singe upon them.
"Gutta Percha Company's Works,
" City-road, London, Bth June, 1853.
" SIRS,—We consider it only our duty to inform you of the
entire preservation of all the books and papers* contained in
the large safe you recently supplied us with, although exposed
during Sundsy last to a fire whichdestroyed the larger part of
our works. This is the more remarkable, as the intense heat
has in many parts melted the outside of the safe.
" We are of opinion that so.successful a vindication of the
merits of your invention cannot, on public grounds, be too
generally known ; and we therefore leave you at liberty to use
this letter ►n any way you may wish.
" We are, Sirs, your obedient servants.
"THE GUTTA PERCHA COMPANY.
" HENRY FORD BARCLAY.
"To Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son,
47A, Moorgate-street, City, London."
* Including £5,000 worth of Cash and Bills.

"Scotland-road Mills, Liverpool. Bth June, 1853.
"GENTLEMEN,—Some time back I was indebted to your
strong Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe for the protection of a
large amount of cash, against the violent and persevering
attempts of burglars at my steam-mills, in Woodstock-street,
and I have now the pleasure of informing you. that I have
lately found the same impregnable security in the one I had
last from you for my provision warehouse in Brownlow. bill.
The floor was all trodden over around the safe, as if the thieves
had been at it for many hours, after which they got it out into
the back yard, and as it could not be picked or broken open,
they then filled the key-hole with gunpowder, thinking to gain
admission by explosion i but in which they were again foiled.
"I feel it due to your invaluable safeguards to give you this
testimonial, and shall strongly recommend them- to• all my
friends. Please send me another of the same size for my house.
"I am, Gentlemen, yours respectfully,

ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE.

FAMILIAR QUOTATIONS.

TO TEE EDITOR OP THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

Sts,—l have read your critique on Mr. Grocott's
"Index to Familiar Quotations, and quite agree with
your remarks on the advantage of such a ready reference
to the gems of prose and poetry in which our literature
abounds. I have also read Mr. Grocott's book, and take
the liberty to question his title to the praise for perform-
ance which the design of his work demands. It is true
that he has arranged his examples alphabetically, and
in many cases given some parallel passages, which throw
some light on the sources of inspiration by writers who
had credit for originality, but he has not performed all
that was fairly to be expected of him before venturing to
appear in print as the literary lawyer. I will take for
instance the oft disputed authoriy for the doggerel rhyme,
"He that fights and runs away," &c. He gives us three
quotations, two from Butler, and one from Goldsmith,
each of them something like it, but neither of them the
one in question. Again he is far from happy in his titles :
to a quotation from Swift, ending with Walls have
tongues, and hedges ears ;" he places the head " Hedges
have eyes ;" but why, because hedges can hear they can
also see, Mr. Grocott has not enlightened his readers.
Another of his heads is " Birds of a feather," which,
according to an old saying, " flock together," but his
examples are merely resemblances ; he does not favour us
with the authority for the old saying which he alludes to
in his title. Under the head of " little learning " we have
the couplet from Pope on Criticism, and so quoted part 2,
line 15, again under the head of " Drink,' we have the
second line, " Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring,"
which is quoted from Pope on Criticism, line 216. I could
point to several other instances in which the headings
given to the quotations for their alphabetical arrangement
are so little according to method, sometimes the idea being
taken and sometimes a particular word, that I imagine an
index will be necessary to this Index, in order to render it
of advantage to those who, desirous of using a quotation,
wish to do 45 correctly. Two parts of the work have,
however, yet to appear, and there is, therefore, time for
amendment ; but Mr. Grocott should in the meantime
solicit suggestions or contributions, which many are well
able and, no doubt, willing to furnish, and then he should
issue a new edition, with such emendations as may render
the work what it ought to be. He commences with the
quotation, " A book's a book, although there's nothing
in't ;" it is to be hoped that it is not an unintentional
allusion to his own production.—l am, Sir, .

PETITION.

" We the undersigned, inhabitants and operatives of St.
Aidan's District, respectfully petition our wealthy friends
in the Town of Liverpool to assist in providing the means
for public worship and religious instruction, by helping
Rector Campbell to build a Church and Parsonage House
on land given to him for that purpose by John Shaw Leigh,
Esq., that we may thus have a suitable place of worship,
and also a resident minister placed amongst us, who will
attend to the spiritual wants of the numerous and rapidly
increasing population of our district.
"We have ourselves contributed and collected nearly
£206; and we further pledge ourselves to aid the Rector,
according to our ability, in his laudable design.
" We therefore humbly and earnestly hope the merchants
and gentlemen of Liverpool will not see the means of
grace wanting in a district formed partly from the sea shore,
which now contains seven or eight docks, and a resident
population of nearly 7,000 souls.
And we shall ever pray, &e., &c., &c."
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1854-05-23

WAYS AND MEANS.

On the order for going into Committee of Ways and
Means,

The CHANCELLOR, of the EXCHEQUER, hl answer to.
Mr. T. Baring,. stated the arrangements which had been
come to for taking the financial discussion on the resolu-
tions submitted to the house. He denied that any change
had been made by the government in the order in which
the resolutions were to be taken.

A short discussion followed, in which Mr. DISRAELI
Lord J. RVSSELI, and Mr. GLADSTONE took part,—Mr.
Mutant.' complaining that no opportunity had been
given for discussing the resolutions on Exchequer Bonds.
Mr. GLADSTONE explained that the resolutions were
preliminary only to future arrangements, and by no means
gave government the power to raise money at their discre-
tion for the next six years.
Mr. T. BARING said ho should move his amendment on
the inexpediency of issuing any more Exchequer Bonds at
present, the repayments of which could be demanded within,
the next six years. He proceeded to criticise the financial
policy of government, which he described as wanting in
prudence and caution, and this point he endeavoured to
establish by comparing the present position of the national
finances with what it was 15 years ago, when there was a
large balance in the exchequer, and every sign of pros-
perity. Mr. Gladstone had, he said, disregarded the
symptoms of danger which subsequently presented them-
selves, in the drain of gold and the rate of interest on
Exchequer Bills. One great error was the successive re-
ductions of interest on such bills, in proof of which :he
referred to the purchase of Exchequer Bills by govern-
ment, by means of the funds of the savings banks, in
order to bolster up the Exchequer Bill market. This
course he considered wholly unjustifiable, and only to be
adopted in a great emergency and difficulty, which diffi-
culty had been created by the Chancellor:of the Exchequer
himself by his uncalled-for reduction of the interest of
Exchequer Bills. He adverted in detail to various
features of Mr. Gladstone's plan, as developed in his late
speech, stating his opinion that his conversion of stock
last year was not warranted by the circumstances. He
denied the assertion of Mr. Gladstone that there was no
loss on his monetary operations, which had been such as
ought not to have been hazarded, except in times of the
most perfect tranquillity. Mr. Baring further contended
that the balances of the Exchequer had been wasted ; that
we were forced to borrow on Deficiency Bills; which bills
were rendered necessary by the improvident employment
of the balances ; that the stock of the Savings Banks h ad been
sold to pay off Exchequer Bills; and an addition thereby
pAde to the Idebt—all hq ochluceti prook of
