ADDRESS.

IRS. PARKES, in making her appearance before
; the Public, with her last "GRAND CLUB SUBSCRIP-
TION," is anxious to address a few words to those of her
Friends.-Patrons, and Subscribers in Liverpool, whowrere mem-
bers of her "Suplemental" Scheme, which—opening inJanuary
and closing in July last—was announced at its commencement
as- being intended for a final distribution of that magnificent
property, in the Fine Arts of this country, which Mrs. Parkes
has.had the honour of freeing from monopoly, and throwing
open,with easy and attractive acceptability, taithe possession
of the Public.
Mrs. Parkes, in then announcing that "SUPPLEMENT" as
final, did not intend the old dramatic deception of "more last
wards;" no second farewell benefit was witl,liriiher contempla•
tion ; and she looked to the fall of the curtain with the belief
that. it would never be raised again by her ; ,was thankful for
what her friends were doing, and looked to her enterprise
to a conclusion, so as to make it a pleasurable memory to all
engaged in its pursuit ; but, under the force of circumstances,
the curtain fell, as it were, in mid-performance !
With a sale of only five thousand portions out of the ten
thousand proposed, the summer season foxed on the close of
the distribution, and Mrs. Parkes was orly consoled for her
large sacrifices, at the half-way termination of her " Supple-
mental Subscription," by the belief that its members and the
public would give her credit for honesty and enterprise in the
cause of Art, and for caring less for her profit than their praise,
in promoting the exercise of its influence; and the freedom of
its trade.
It is now that the noble property still; remaining from that
"Supplement" upon her hands suggests* and indeed demands,
that Mrs. Parkes should raise that curzin which had prema-
turely fallen, for the purpose, as it were, of renewing the per-
formance, and really concluding her engagement with the pub-
lic. And let it be impressed, that in sa doing she brings a bill
of fare so additionally powerful and attractive—so replete with
strength, novelty, and riches, that all who encouraged her
Supplemental scheme may assure themselves of advantage
and satisfaction from the more brilliant finale of this last
"GRAND CLUB SUBSCRIPTION." None of her old friends
can be by possibility disappointed ; on the contrary, she holds
• out to them a prospect to make the." Pleasures°, Hope," in
the treasures of her parting distribution, exceed the" Pleasures
of Memory," derivable from the success and satisfaction of
each that has gone before.
From the liberal spirit of commercial Liverpool, she expects
a due appreciation of the motives- that have spurred her on ;
and she confidently appeals to her former subscribers to in-
crease the value of their patronage with a muster-roll of new
friends—remembering that the inoortance of her last "GRAND
&rascal PTION" is enhanced by a leading allotment of "TH REE
THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED GUIN.RAS;" and that the sp!endid.
LIBRARY CABINET, magnificently sculptured, in which its
unique treasure is contained, is only the richest of the other
elegant pictorial cabinets, and unrivaled /millings which sur-
round so many of her allotments„with every variety of device.
Day of closing the Distribution, the TWENTY-NINI H OP
MAY.

GREAT FIRE
IN MARKET-STREET, MANCHESTER ;

ENTIRELY CONSUMING A LARGE SQUARE OF WARE-
HOUSES, OFFICES, AND SHOPS.
IN the last great Fire in George-street, Manchester,
I nine large Houses had their Books burned in Iron Safes,
Closets with Iron Doors, Wrought Iron Fireproof (?) - Safes,
&c. &c. &c. ; and again on the above recent occasion, a great
number of parties have suffered the same calamity. The'only
Safe which brought its contents uninjured out of the burning
mass being the one alluded to below.
" Manchester, August 13th, 1847.
" GENTLEmEN,—In the late Fire in Market:street, which
entirely gutted the entireblock of buildings of which my Ware-
house fOrmed part, I have sincere pleasure in informing you
that my hooks, together with a quantity of valuable papers,
watches, &c., were preserved uninjured in one of your Fire-
resisting Safes, which I strongly recommend to the public.
" I am your obedient s'-rvant,
"THOMAS HAIGH, Woollen Merchant,
" New Brown-street and Market-street.
" 3fessrs. Milner and Son.!'
The outside of this Safe was partially melted: the contents
inside unsinged, being steamed (boiled instead of burned) by
the evaporating principle of• the Safe. Near to it a large
Wrought Iron Fireproof (?) chambered Safe, full of valuable
Books and Documents before the Fire, was found to contain
nothing but tinder and ashes after it ! -
in tne numerous accidental Fires and experimental tests
which Milners' SafeS have been exposed to—every description
of Safe in use—Fireproof (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
patent, on a rapidly extending scale, have spared no pains nor
cost in effecting improvements, by which they are enabled to
pledge themselves at all times to supply the most complete and
secure depositories for Books, Documents, and Valuables ; in-
cluding the strongest Wrought-iron Safes, Closets, and Doors
in the World. lined with their unenualled Fire-resisting Cham-
bers. Out of upwards of 20.000 of their Sates• in use amongst
the Manufacturing and Commercial Houses of Great Britain—
the class best able to appreciate their value—numerous cases of
exposure to accidental tire 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. .1. Blackaller's Ship and Chandlery Store, Spar-
ling-street, Liverpool; a stiong and fierc Fire; Safe itost
severely burnt outside; contents unsinged.
twe at Messrs. J. and W. Walkers', the extensive builders,
Birkenhead; buildings entirely gutted, everything burnt in
them, including the contents of large Iron Safe and drawers,
standing besides Milners'; 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 Milners' 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 brickwork
with double Iron doors burnt out; Milners' 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. It. and Thomas Browns', in Milners
Safe.
Milners' Fire-resisting SafeS, Chests, and Boxes, suitable for
all classes of Buildings, impregnable Locks and Cash Boxes,

PILL S.

H O L L O W A Y'S
A CASE OF DROPSY.
Extract of a Letter from Mr. William Gardner, of Hanging
Houghton, Northamptonshire, dated September 14th, 1847.
To Professor HOLLOWAY.
SIR,-1 before informed you that my wife had been tapped
three times for the Dropsy, but by the blessing of God upon your
Pills, and her perseverance in taking them, the water has now
been kept off 18 months by their means, which is a great mercy.

DISORDER OF THE LIVER AND KIDNEYS.
Extract of a Letter from Mr. .T. K. Heydon, dated 78, King-
street, Sydney, New South Wales, the 30th Sept., 1847.
To Professor HOLLOWAY.
SIR,—I have the pleasure to inform you that, Stuart A. Do-
naldson, Esq., an eminent Merchant and Agriculturist, and
also a Magistrate of this Town, called on me on the 18th inst.,
and purchased your Medicines to the amount of FOURTEEN
POUNDS to be forwarded to his Sheep Stations in New England.
He stated that one of his Overseers had come to Sydney some
time previously for medical aid, his disorder being an affection
of the Liver and Kidneys—that he had placed the man for
three months under the care of one of the best Surgeons, with-
out any good resulting from the treatment ; the man then in
despair used your Pills and Ointment, and much to his own
and Mr. Donaldson's astonishment, was completely restored
to his health by their means. Now this surprising cure was
effected in about ten days. (Signed) - J. K. HEYDON.
THE EARL OF ALDBOROUGH CURED OF A LIVER
AND STOMACH COMPLAINT.
Extract of a Letter from the Earl of Aldborough, dated Villa
Messina, Leghorn, 21st February, 1845.
To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY.
SIRS Various circumstances prevented the possibility of my
thanking you before this time for your politeness i❑ sending
me your pills as you did. I now take. this opportunity of send-
ing-you an order for the amount, and, at the same time, to add
that your pills have effected a cure of a disorder in my Liver
and Stomach, which all the most eminent of the Faculty at
home, and all over the Continent, had not been able to effect ;
nay, not even the waters of Carlsbad and Marienbad. I wish
to have another Box and a Pot of the Ointment, in case any
of my family should ever require either.
Your most obliged and obedient servant,
(Signed) ALDBOROUGH.

NATURE'S CHIEFEST ORNAMENT.—AII who are aware
of the greatinnportance of a Fine Head of Hair, and its
paramount interest over all that pertains to the personal
appearance, have hailed the introduction of the BALM of
COLUMBIA to their notice with the liveliest satisfaction.
Of this high appreciation C. and A. OLDRIDGE have the
most convincing proof, in the numerous voluntary testi-
monials and recommendations which they have received
and published by permission from time to time. The
following letter is strongly expressive of the advantages
resulting from its use :
" The Farm, Lymington, Hants, Feb 9, 1848.
" Gentlemen,—ln justice to you I think I ought to tell you
that your BALM of COLUMBIA has entirely restored my hair,
which, from a long residence in the West Indies, and illness
there, was nearly all gone before I began to use it. I have no
objection to your making use of my name in any way as re-
gards the sale of your BALM of COLUMBIA. I think it a duty
I owe to the public in general.—Your obedient servant,
. . _ " J. DELAY WILSON.

"To Messrs. C and A. Oldridge, - •

" London."
OLDRIDGE'S BALM causes Whiskers and Eye-brows to
grow, prevents the Hair from turning grey, and the first
application causes it to curl bfautifully, frees it from
scurf, and stops it from falling off. Abundance of Cer-
tificates of the first respectability are shown by the Pro-
prietors, C. and A. OLDRIDGE, 1, Wellington-street,
