" TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, ETC.
" Sir,—ln the complete burning of the whole of our
premises on Monday last, the only things saved out of the
stock and property were our Books, which we feel that
we owe entirely to MILNERS' FIRE-RESISTING SAFE, in
which we kept them. The Safe bears evidence of the
intense fire it had resisted, and it was with as much sur-
prise as gratitude that, on breaking it open after the fire,
we found instead of ashes as we expected, our Books
perfect as we left them. We think it due to this invalua-
ble inventian, and to the public, to make this declaration
through your columns,

The Liverpool Mercury remarks, after describing the
fire :—" The Books belonging to the establishment, which
were in one of Milners' Fire-resisting Safes, were the only
articles preserved."

" Dear Sir,—We have much pleasure in bearing unqua-
lified testimony to the efficiency and important advanta-
ges of MILNE•R'S FIRE-RESISTING SAFES and BOXES,
in cases of accident from Fire.
" After the destructive Fire at our Offices this morning,
the Books and Papers deposited in the MILNER'S SAFE
purchased from you, were found to be entirely uninjured
by Fire, whilst those contained in a strong Iron Safe and
Drawers, standing beside it, were completely destroyed.
" We will accordingly thank you to supply us with

immediately.

The Liverpool papers, in reporting the fire, state, " The
building in which the fire commenced was completely
gutted, and the whole of the contents destroyed, with the
exception of the Books, those being preserved in one of
MILNERS' PATENT SAFES. MeSItS. Walker have sus-
tained a very serious loss, by the destruction of a number
of plans and specifications of buildings, some erected and
others in couve of erection, which it is almost impossible
to estimate. These were consumed in a strong Iron Safe,

ECONOMICAL SELF-ACTING ROASTING JACK
AND UNIVERSAL COOKING APPARATUS.
THE QUEEN'S PATENT having been granted fer
the above useful Machine, embracing, as it does,
such unparalleled utility and improvements for all pur-
poses of Cooking, is confidently recommended to the

Public.
The great and important advantages over every other
Roasting Jack and Cooking Apparatus are these :—its
Economy, Self-acting power, (the Jack having neither
weight nor spring,) certain prey-6160n, or cure of a
Smoky Chimney. It is a saving of from 50 to 70 per
cent. in Fuel; will Roast, Bake, Boil, Fry, Broil, Stew,
and Steam, in the most perfect and effective manner ;
requires scarcely any Masonry or Setting, and is in full
action in a few minutes.
It can be constructe,l by increased size, &c., to Roast
three Joints or more at once, with the advantage of
keeping the gravy of each Joint separate.
This range has another highly important advantage,
being set as a whole, it does not become a fixture, and can
therefore be removed from one house to another.
The extraordinary sale of this Range has exceeded up-
wards of Eleven Hundred, in the short space of Five
Years, and it is universally allowed to be superior to
every other kind in use.
To be seen in operation daily, and numerous Refe-
rences and Testimonials given. in most parts of England,

FOREIGN AND COLONIAL.

ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA-

The royal mail steam-packet, Caledonia, Captain Lott,
arrived off George's Pier at eight o'clock on Friday night,
bringing papers from New 1 ork to the 16th, Boston to
the 17th, and Halifax to the 19th. The Britannia was
seen a few miles off Halifax on the 18th.

The intelligence by this arrival is, we are gratified to
say, of a much more encouraging and pacific character
than that which came to hand by the Great Western.
The article from the Washington Union, which we no-
ticed last week, claiming the whole of the Oregon on be-
half of the United States, had excited nearly as much
astonishment on the other, as it bas done on this side of
the water. Its tone and tendency had been severely com-
mented on and denounced by the Journal of Commerce,
the Courier and Enquirer, and other able and influential
papers. The official character of the article, too, had
been impugned, and altogether, an improved tone of feel-
ing seems to have prevailed in the interim. Better still,
Mi. Daniel Webster, at a public meeting in Boston, in
an elaborate speech on the Oregon question, counselled a
pacific settlement in the most persuasive and argumenta-
tive terms, in the course of which he pointed out the folly
and the madness of a war between the two countries on
such a subject. Mr. Nk ebster's sentiments were warmly
cheered by his hearers, and the views which this able and
popular statesman had put forth cannot fail to make a
great impression upon his countrymen. The Whigs, it
is clear, are strongly opposed to a rupture with England,
and as they compose the great bulk of the commercial
classes in the principal cities, Mr. Polk, whatever may
have been his views, will find it difficult to carry matters
with the high band which the previous accounts led us to
anticipate. The New York Tribune, a paper of consider-
able influence, had declared itself in favour of the " three
P's—peace, prosperity, and progress." The New York
Herald says—" Our foreign relations, even with England,
are not in so menacing a position as at the last accounts."
The Halifax Times states that Lord Metcalf had ten-
dered his resignation of governor-general of the British
provinces, with an urgent request that his successor may
be immediately appointed. A rumour of this character
was recently contradicted in the Canadian papers. Whe-
ther this statement is founded on any more recent fact
than that which was contradicted we have not the means
of judging. The Montreal Herald of the 31st ult., an-
nounced that the health of his lordship was improving.
The colonial papers for some time past have been much
occupied with discussions of railroad projects, particularly
projects for a railroad from Halifax to Quebec, a distanoe
of 530 miles. These projects appear to have originated
chiefly in England.

The quotations in the New York cotton-market had
fallen since the departure of the Great Western, and
prices, at the departure of the Caledonia, ranged fully
one-half of a cent below those current on the 6th ult.
Thy re was rather an active demand for shipment. The
receipts at New York since the Ist were 15,160 bales ;
exports for the same period, 4,700 bales; taken by spin-
ners, 9,000 bales ; taken on speculation, 500 bales; stock
in city 18.000 bales, and the amount on sale 6,000 bales.
Freights for cotton had been very dull during the week,
and the quotations to Liverpool were 5-16 to ; Havre,
to cents. We annex the quotations ruling on the
15th ult. compared with those current on the 6th, the
day on which the Great Western `ailed for Liverpool:—

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 7.—Cotton.—On the receipt
of the correspondence per Great Western, an ac-
tive demand sprung up, and was very freely met by the
factors, who appeared generally willing sellers at a decline
on our quotations of Wednes;lay morning of c., and in
many instances c. was submitted to. The total sales of
of the day sum up 13 000 bales, and the market having
been relieved of a redundancy of stock, closes with a
healthy tone. The bulk of the business has been done
for England, and we hear of one cargo for Trieste.
Fteights.—Several vessels were taken up yesterday for
Liverpool at id. for cotton, and one barque for Trieste at
lie. per lb. Flour.—Sales at di dirs. to 5 dirs. for
Ohio, St. Louis choice 5 dirs. to 5 dire. 50c., fine 4 dirs.
25c. to 4 dlr,. 50c,

The itlonileur Algerien of the 10th states that General
Bourjolly had effected two razziaa " in which the enemy
lost nearly 200 men, of whom from forty to fifty were
combatants." What then were the other hundred and
fifty ? Old men and children who could offer no resist-
ance ! Oh, shame to France!

The Americans are rapidly reinforcing their squadron
in the Pacific. Adding their vessels in the Chinese seas,
they will assemble a force of six frigates (each as large as
an English 74-gun ship), five corvettes, one brig, and one
schooner. On the English side, Admiral Seymour, at or
about this time, is near the coast of Oregon, with one
ship of 80, one of 50, one of 18, and one of 16 guns.
_ _

A RHINOCEROS KILLED.—A rhinoceros was killed 10
or 11 days ago on the estate of Jawee, in Province Wel-
lesley. The brute was observed in an isolated piece of
brushwood, which was immediately surrounded by about
200 Chinese and Malay labourers, armed with sticks,
bricks, stones, &c., to prevent his escape. The proprietor
of the sugar-estate, armed with a fowling-piece, went
within the circle, and every now and then bad a shot at
the rhinoceros as be started from the jungle to endeavour
to make an escape. On one occasion the brute made a
desperate effort to break the guard, but when be came up
a Chinaman struck him with a chankol on the back of
his head, which stunned him and made him retire. He
received several shots after this, and fell, after which his
head was cut off. No sooner was this completed than a
general confusion and riot took place among the Chinese,
who strived with each other to obtain the blood as it ran
out, some of which they drank, and the rest they smeared
over their bodies. When blood ceased to flow the animal
was cut up into pieces, and the raw flesh was torn from
the bones and devoured apparently with the utmost relish.
The Chinese have an idea that the blood and flesh of the
tiger, rhinoceros, &c., possess some rare virtues with
which they endow all who eat of them.—Penang Gazette.
Sept. 6.
WILFSL WRECKING OF A SHlP.—Lieutenant W. A. J.
Heath, R.N., son of the Governor of the Bank of En-
gland, has written to his friends a curious statement of
the capture of several parties who had made an attempt
to lose the brig Rosanna, 145 tons, of Newcastle. Lieut.
Heath belongs to her Majesty's ship Hyacinth, and his
letter is dated Newfoundland, November 9th. He sta►es
that they arrived at St. George's Bay at the beginning of
October. " Our attention," says he, " was suddenly
called by a merchant brig, apparently a wreck, with her
masts cut away, and aground close to the beach. Capt.
Scott, having an appointment as a magistrate, made
enquiry as to her being there in that state, and two men
took an oath before him, that they had been bribed to run
the vessel ashore, of course with a view to defraud the
underwriters. We then held a survey on the vessel and
found a hole bored right through her bottom, and there
was not the slightest doubt that it was done purposely.
Captain Scott immediately sent me, with a party of
armed men, to arrest the bodies of the captain and mate
of the vessel, the merchant on shore who had offered the
bribe, and two other men who were connected. I found
them all in a few minutes, and brought them off. You
may imagine their astonishment when they were told they
were prisoners under a charge of felony, to be conveyed
to St. John's for trial. The next job was to put the brig
to rights. We hauled her off shore, and got her along-
side of us, jury-rigged her with our own spars, and put
her cargo into her, consisting of nine hundred barrels of
flour, and nearly a hundred of pearl ash, beside which
she had a great quantity of wheat in bulk." Lieut Heath
was put on board to take her to St. John's which he
effected after a most boisterous passage.
