the subject to select parties at their own residences. He also
Durmses eivin jnstniction to Ladies on their Cooking ar-
ranvinents and Dinner 'rabies, or to receive men cow.. An a
limited time for private tuition ; whereby Families would be
better served, and more economically than at present. By

modes of cooking, and the large saving effected by it.

GREAT FIRE
IN MARKET-STREET, MANCHESTER ;
ENTIRELY CONSUMING A LARGE SQUARE OF WARE-
HOUSES, OFFICES, AND SHOPS.
TN the last great Fire in George-street, Manchester,
1. 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 mist 13th, 1847.
GENTLEMEN In the late Fire Market-street, which
entirely gutted the entire block o ildings of which my Ware-
house formed part, have s• ere pleasure in informing you
that my books, together • a quantity of valuable papers,
watches, &c., were pre ved uninjured in one of your Fire-
resisting Safes, which trongly recommend to the public.
"I am you bedient servant,
" T OMAS HAIGH, Woollen Merchant,
" New Brown-street and Market-street.
" Messrs. 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 Lire, 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 uneoualled 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 fire 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. J. Blackaller's Ship and Chandlery Store, Spar-
ling-street, Liverpool; a stiong and fierc Fire; Safe most
severely burnt outside; contents unsinged.
I've 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 inners' ; 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 M Plimsaul Brothers', of Plymouth : Y.ry
ana acrbLi (lie; a large tin Sate coverea with brickwork
with double Iron doors burnt out; Miners' entirely preeerving
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. R. and Thomas Browns', in Milner& ,
Safe.

Milners' Fire-resisting Safes, Chests, and Boxes, suitable for
all classes of Buildings, impregnable Locks and Cash Boxes,
at the Works, 50A, Lord-street and Cable-street, and Show-.
own, 15, South John-street, Liverpool.

JONES'S ESSENCE OF CONCENTRATED COMPOUND
DECOCTION OF RED JAMAICA SARSAPARILLA.
The high esteem in which Sarsaparilla has of late years been
held by Medical Practitioners, its reputation as a safe and effi-
cacious Domestic Medicine, and its consequently extensive use
among all classes of society, has rendered it one of the most
important remedies of the present age.

This preparation is compbsed of die finest Jamaica Sarsapa-
rilla imported, and prepared in Vacuo, by which the whole of
its essential properties are retained. The Proprietor can con-
fidently recommend it as one of the most efficient preparations
extant. It is most particularly taken as an alterative and pu-
rifier in the following affections :—Eruption of the Skin,.
Pains in the Bones, Ulcerated Sore Throat, Scorbutic Affec-
tions, Local and General Debility, and all diseases arising frora.
