IMPORTATIONS FOR CHRISTMAS AND. THE
NEW YEAR.

F.' L. HAUSBURG
BEGS leave to announce the arrival of the
GOODS selected by him during his recent journey to
the Continent. Stimulated by the kind approval with which
his previous exertions have been rewarded, he has on the pre-
sent occasion spared neither pains nor outlay to surpass his
former efforts ; every novelty has been secured immediately on
its production; every article which might be deemed worthy
the notice of the possessors of true taste, has been added to
the varied and extensive assortment which he is prepared to
submit to his Friends, and the present Selection will be found
to be superior in elegance, variety, and extent, to any by
which it has been preceded.

The Stock of
JEWELLERY
consisting of

BRACELETS, BROOCHES, NECKLETS, CHAINS,
RINGS, PINS, &c., &c.,

has again been considerably augmented by supplies from the
principal houses in London, and by the productions of his
own Manufactory upon the premises, and on examination
will prove unequalled by that of any other house.
F. L. H. begs to tender a respectful invitation to his Friends,
and to assure them, that whether they may be pleased to make
purchases or otherwise, they will be received with equal polite-
ness and attention.

J. G. HARRISON & CO.,
Having Opened, at

No. 14, LORD-STREET, LIVERPOOL,

A. Branch Establishment for the Sale of

TANN'S NEW PATENT DOUBLE-CHAMBERED
FIRE-RESISTING

SAFES, CHESTS, AND BOXES,

RESPECTFULLY solicit the patronage of Bankers,
Merchants, Solicitors, and all parties having the care of
BOOKS, DEEDS, RECORDS, PLATE, JEWELLERY, &c.
TANN'S SAFES are made entirely of strong Wrought Iron,
and have been found effectually to resist the attempts of the
most skilful Burglars, being fitted with the PATENT RELI-
ANCE LOCK, which has ben invented expressly for the pur-
pose. They are also a sure
RESISTANCE TO FIRE,
as they contain a Chemical Compound—the discovery of the
Patentees—which is deposited in a double chamber, between
the outer plate and the inner lining of the Safe, which remains
unaffected at a very high temperature, and merely fuses when
it is increased to a degree at which MOST OTHER SUBSTANCES
become decomposed ; the water of crystalization, being then
driven off, protects the contents of the Safe, by keeping them
moist, at a much greater heat than is required for the de-
struction of the most substantial building.

J. G. HARRISON & Co. have much pleasure in directing
public attention to their printed Circular, containing the names
of a great number of Gentlemen connected with mercantile
pursuits, in the Metropolis and elsewhere, in verification of
the public tests to which
TANN'S PATENT CHESTS

have been subjected. A few cases maybe cited here. A chest was
filled with books, papers, and other documents, and placed in
the centre of a large fire, made expressly for the occasion, and in-
three hours afterwards was removed and opened, when every-
thing deposited was as perfect as when first put in. On ano-
ther occasion, in the same chest was deposited a watch in ac-
tion, with other articles of light texture it was then placed on
a smith's forge, and subjected to a white heat, for the same
length of time; when opened, the watch was still going, and
all the contents were found to he perfectly safe and uninjured.
The same chest was refitted, and subjected to a third and fourth
trial, with the same satisfactory result. At the late fire in
Water-lane, Blackfriars, one of these Safes preserved its con-
tents uninjured, while SAFES OF OTHER DESCRIPTIONS
ENTIRELY FAILED.

J. G. HARRISON & Co. beg further to add, that not only do
these Safes afford the most perfect security against Fire and
Robbery, but that the workmanship and interior fittings are
far superior to any yet offered, and at fully from 25 to 40 PER
CENT. LESS THAN THE USUAL PRICES.

TANN'S PATENT RELIANCE LOCK,
For all kinds of Iron Doors, Safes, Chests, Rooms, and every
other purpose to which Locks can be applied.
This Lock possesses strength, security, and simplicity, the
three principal requisites of a good Lock ; and also shows a great
advantage over everything hitherto offered. First—The sim-
ple method of the levers being hinged alternately on the bolt
of the Lock, and working over each other, forms a combination
of the levers at both ends, thereby effecting its well-attested
security. Secondly—The introduction of a guard or guards on
levers, thus securing the back levers from ever being brought
into action, unless by the right key.
The PATENT RELIANCE LATCHES are of a perpendicular
movement, and guarded; they combine great security, with
the advantages of difference from all others.
