GREAT FIRE IN BELFAST.

" Messrs. MUSGRAVE, BROTHERS.-GENTLEMEN,-At your request, I beg to state, for the information of the public,
that 'he 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 destruction of the books and papers it contained ; and feel very great pleasure in testify-
ing 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 burnt around it, when it fell to the room beneath. the floor of which was like-
wise destroyed by the fire.—Yours truly, "JAMES S. HUNTER,
"Executor of the late Thomas S. Major, of the Firm of Thomas S. Major and Co.

TRIUMPHANT RESISTANCE TO ROBBERS, AT MESSRS. BUTTERWORTH AND BROOKES'S,
MANCHESTER.

" Sta,—Last night our Premises were entered by burglars, who made a desperate attempt upon the Milners' Holdfast
Safe we bought from you some time since ; and, although they evidently had recourse to all the usual appliances of accom-
plished thieves, and ultimately to gunpowper in abundance, we are glad to say with no other effect than to injure the lock—
the opening of the Safe they found quite impracticable.
We are happy to he enabled to express our unqualified approbation of the Safe ; we believe it is impregnable to thieves.
" If our verbal testimony will be of service to you, you are at liberty to refer to us, and to make any use you please of
this communication.—Yours respectfully, " BUTTERWORTH and BROOKES.

ELEGANT PERSONAL REQUISITES.-
Under the patronage of Royalty and the Aristocracy
throughout Europe, and universally preferred and esteemed.
The successful results of the last half century have proved
beyond question that ROWLANI)S' :MACASSAR OIL pos-
sesses singularly nourishing powers in the growth, r.storation,
and improvement of the Human Hair, and when every other
specific has failed. This celebrated Oil is now universally
acknowledged to be the cheapest, and superior to all other
preparations for the Hair. It prevents it from falling off or
turning grey—strengthens weak hair—cleanses it from scurf
and dandriff—and makes it beautifully t oft, curly, and glossy.
Its operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active; and in
the growth of the beard, whiskers, eyebrows, and mustachios
it is unfailing in its stimulative operation. For Children it
is especial), recommended, as forming the basis of a beauti-
ful head of hair. In dressing the hair nothing can equal its
effect, rendering it so admirably soft that it will lie in any
direction, and imparting a transcendant lustre. Price 3s. 6d.
and 7s. ; Family Bottles (equal to four small), 10s. 6d. ; and
double that size, 21s.—CAUTION ! On the wrapper of each
bottle are the words, ROWLANDS' NIACASSAR OIL, in two
lines. The same are engraven on the back of the wrapper
nearly 1,500 times, containing 29,028 letters.
A beautiful complexion, and soft and fair hands and arms,
are fully realized and sustained by the use of ROWLANDS'
KALYDOR, an oriental botanical preparation, which, by its
action on the pores and minute secretory vessels of the Skin,
promotes a healthy tone so essential to its general well-being,
and the beauty of its appearance. Freckles, tan, pimples,
spots, discoloration, and other cutaneous visitations are era-
dicated by the KALYDOR, and give place to a radiant bloom and
transparency of complexion. During the heat and dust of Sum-
mer, and in cases of sunburn, stings of insects, or incidental
Inflammation, its virtues have been long and extensively ac-
knowledged. Price 4s. 6d. and Bs. 6d. per bottIe.—CAUTION!
The words ROWLANDS' KALYDOR are on the wrapper of each
bottle, and their signature, A. ROWLAND and SONS, 20, Hat-
ton .garden, London, in red ink, at foot.
Sound and White Teeth are not only indispensably requi-
site to a pleasing exterior in both sexes, but they are pecu-
liarly appreciated through life as highly conducive to health
and longevity. Among the various preparations offered for
the Teeth, ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or PEARL DENTI-
FRICE, stands unrivalled. Prepared from oriental herbs
with unusual care, transmitted to this country at great ex-
pense, this unique compound will be found to eradicate all
tartar and concretions, and impart a pearl-'ike whiteness to
the enamelled surface, remove spots of incipient decay, ren-
der the gums firm and red, fix the teeth firmly in their soc-
kets, and from its aromatic influence impart sweetness and
purity to the breath. Price 2s. 9d. per box.—CAUTION I
The words " ROW-LANDS' OboNTo" are on the Label, and
" A. Rowland and Sons, 20, Hatton-garden," engraved on
the Government Stamp affixed to each Box.

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

The ANTI-CORROSION PAINT has been used by the
[lon. 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.
This Paint is admirably adapted for preventing the decay
of old stone or brick Mansions, Churches, or other Public
Ed fices 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
Co:our 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 tht.ir Stewards to order the Anti-
Corrosion Paint, as any labourer can lay it on, there) y 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, 508. ; bright green, 60s. ; deep green, 605.; and blue
(for carts and wagons). 60e. per cwt.; in casks 281b5., 561b5.,
1121bs. each, and upwards.—Large tied Brushes, 3s. 6d. ;
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, ls.
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 Oil is added, is about 4d. per lb. ; and those at
605., about 6d. per lb.
The Original Anti-Corrosion Paint is only to he obtained of

STREET, Old Broad-street, near the Royal Exchange, LONDON,

PAINS IN THE BACK, GRAVEL,
LUMBAGO, RHEUMATISM, GOUT, HEADACHE,
NERVOUSNESS. DEBILITY, &c.

DR.DE ROOS' COMPOUND B.ENAE., PILLS (as
their name Renal, or the Kidneys, indicates) have been long
established as a most safe and efficacious remedy for the
above dangerous complaints, Discharges of any kind, and
Diseasesof the Kidneys and organs therewith connected gene-
rally, &c., which, if neglected, frequently end in a lingering
painful death. For Depression of Spirits, Excitement, Dis-
like of Society, Incapacity for Study or Business, Loss of
Memory, Confusion, Giddiness, Blood to the Head, Drowsi-
ness, Sleep without refreshment, Nervousness, and even In-
sanity itself, they are unequalled. Possessing tonic proper-
ties, they agree with the most delicate stomach, strengthen
the digestive organs, increase the appetite, and improve the
general health. They require neither confinement nor change
of diet, and, as experience has amply proved, they will effect
a cure when mercury and all other dangerous medicines have
failed. One Trial will convince the most sceptical of their
surprising properties.
Mr. Letellier, Etruria, Potteries.—" Your Renal Pills have
done wonders with me and others to whom I have recom-
mended them."

THE INVALUABLE BALMand OINTMENT
of St. Mae and St. Damien, made by Signor FELIX
A Lilt NOLO, of Turin, after3o years' perseverance and success
in effecting extraordinary Cures, has been honoured with the
under-mentioned communications, and received large orders,
as an indispensable Remedy against Wounds, Sores, Eruption,
Diseases of the Skin, &c., &c., for the Army, Navy, and
Hospitals.

H. C., Post-office, Stafford.—" Your Renal Pills are a most
splendid medicine."

the like of them before, they are really a surprising medicine."
T. Webster, Esq., Seal ford, Melton Mowbray.—" Your valu-
able Renal Pills have done good to every one I gave them to."
Mr. Thos. Williams, at Mr. Hutchings, baker, King-street,

and am happy to inform you I have received more benefit
from them than from any of the medical men in London."
W. Chartres, Esq., Newport, Mayo.—" I have a degree of
mental energy and vigour such as I did not feel these two
years. My memory is wonderfully improved, so that I can
recollect all the events of each day with the greatest degree of
clearness. It is astonishing how I got out of such awful suf-
ferings, but I think I owe it altogether to the use of your Pills."
PERSONS GOING ABROAD, CAPTAINS and OTHERS,
cannot store more important articles of health than the above,
which, by regulating the Stomach and Bowels, and tranquil.
lizing the Nervous System, will prevent those fatal diseases so
prevalent abroad, as also Sea Sickness and:other complaints
incidental to long voyages and irregular living. No Emi-
grant's Chest can be properly furnished without them, for
when far removed from medical aid, they will find in these
Pills a never-failing restorative.
IMPORTANT.—Some unprincipled Vendors, when asked for
Dr. DE Roos' PILLS, have attempted to foist upon the public
other Medicines or trash of their own compounding, f 6
which they obtain a larger profit. The GENUINE have the
words, "WALTI.R DE ROOS, LONDON," in white letters
on a red ground, printed in the Stamp affixed to each box ;
by special direction of Her Majesty's Honourable Commis-
sioners, to protect the Public from Fraud, and to imitate
which is felony.
