THIRTY-FIVE THOUSAND 1

91HE FAMILY FRIEND, a Monthly Periodical,
I unrivalled in Cheapness, Interest, and Usefulness, price
Twopence, Thirty-two Pages, beautifully Printed, and stitched
in a Wrapper, in a neat 1115azineprm. _

As soon as the FAMILY FRIEND appeared, it was recog-
nised as something new in literature. Its superiority to the great
mass of cheap publicat ons, became at once apparent—and
hence, before the Fourth Number was issued, the circulation
rose to THIRTY-FIVE THOUSAND, and is still rapidly in-
creasing. Upwards of one hundred newspapers reviewed the
work in most favourable terms—all concurring in the opinion,
that it is a publication which " should find its way to every
Family in the kingdom."
Its matter comprises Essays, Tales, Poems, Sketches, Papers
on Science, &c. &c. Light and cheerful in its literature, it is,
nevertheless, peculiarly instructive, and of a high moral tone.
But its chief distinguishing features are these :—that it con.
takis subjects of interest for every member of a family, from
the Grandfather to the Child ; and tigit it blends with enter-
taining matter, much valuable Practical Instruction upon
Household and General Domestic Affairs.

Every Number contains a Tale, an article upon Practical
Science, an Historical or Scientific paper, addressed to Young
People, " Aunt Mary," or by " Grandfather Whitehead," a
mass of Useful Receipts and Prescriptions, (this department
being edited by a MEMBER OF THE MEDICAL PROFESSION I)
Original Illustrated Designs in Fancy Needlework, (by the ce-
lebrated Mrs. WARREN,) Instruction and Advice for the Gar-
dener, Housewife, Naturalist, &c. &c. Various humourous
matters, such as Anagrams, Arithmetical and other Problems,
Enigmas, Conundrums, Rebuses, Practical Puzzles, . Chess
Problems, &c. &c., for Family Pastime.
. .

Already the Work has supplie,l valuable matter upon pleas-
ing pursuits—such as the Culture of Flowers, the Preservation
of Flowers in Win' er, the Preservation of Birds, Eggs, Insects;
Shells, Mosses, Ferns, &c., and an interesting Series of papers
upon the Preservation of " Sea Weeds" is now going on. Thus
it contributes to make Winter Fire-side Evenings, and Summer
Wanderings, alike agreeable and instructive.
New Subscribers are strongly advised to order the whole of
the Back Numbers at once, (Price 2d. each,) that there may be
no difficulty in procuring them hereafter.
The Work commenced January Ist, 1849, and a number has
appeared every succeeding month, up to the present.

ROBBERIES ON THE GREAT WESTERN

OF CASH AND VALUABLES.

THE strongest WROUGHT-IRON SAFEGUARDS
extant, with impregnable Locks and Fastenings, and lined
throughout with Milner's Treble Non-conducting and livapo
rating Chambers, are

MIGNERS' PATENT " HOLDFAST" AND FIRE
RESISTING SAFES,
THE ONLY PERFECT SECURITY AGAINST ROBBERY
VIOLENCE, & FIRE.

In experimental trials by Fire, conducted by scientific and
practical men, and in cases of large accidental Fires, all de-
scriptions of Safes in use hare been burnt out by the side of
Milners, its contents being uninjured ; and the Patentees have
this day informaticn from their Agents, Messrs. D. Boyd and
Co., Ingram-street, Glasgow, of one of their Safes (sold by

'D. B. and Co. to a leading house there) having resisted duight''s
violence of robbers, the outsides being cut through in many
places, "the door destroyed (for use;) but notwithstanding all
their efforts the lock remained true, and prevented their get-
ting access to the Cash or Books." Particulars may be had
from D. Boyd and Co.
