PURE BREAD

THE BRITISH BREAD

AND FLOUR 'WAREHOUSE

45, GREAT GEORGE-STREET,

ESTABLISHED FOR THE SALE OF GENUINE BREAD AND FLOUR

(From the Liverpool Dail, 21st Sept.. 1850.)
PURE BREAD.—We have tasted the Bread made and sold by Mr. Smith, who has recently opened a shop at 45, Great
George-street, and our honest conviction is, that he sells a genuine, good, and wholesome article, entirely free from every
kind of improper admixture. His bread retains its sweetness to the last, although a week or more old, a sufficient test of
its purity. Those who bake at home can try his flour, and those who do not his bread, and we gua-antes no disappoint-
ment will follow our advice. _ .

(From tle Liverpool Times, 261.1-fiefil:, 1850.)
BREAD.--it has the true, fine, malt• k flavour that g04.-bread ought to have; is light, yet sound and firm. Mr,
Smith is not only an artist in bread-baking, but he uses thc,,beft materials.

(From the Liver Journal, 28th Sept., 1850.)
BREAD.-Mr. Smith, 45, Great George-street vertises genuine bread in another column, and has sent us for inspec-
tion two loaves, one baked a fortnight sinc the other yesterdey. They are both excellent bread; we never tasted
better.

Orders most punctually attended to, and forwarded to any part of the town or suburbs.

EXTRAORDINARY and SUCCESSFUL RESIST-
ANCE to ROBBERS of MILNER'S "HOLDEAST"
and FIRE RESISTING SAFE.
THE STRONGEST SAFEGIXIID EXTANT AGAINST

ROBBERy"-AND FIRE

Early last year, Messr m. Watson and Co., (late Watson
Brothers,) applied to los. Milner and Son, to construct for
them one of their ng Holdfast Safes or Chests, to contain
15,000 dol'ars in ver, for its safe conveyance over the moun-
tains from th sines to Tampico. The Gentleman writing for
tke Safe was at the time lying confined to his bed from a
'bullet and two bayonet wounds he had received in an attack of
the Mexican robbers on a valuable convoy, in which the Safe
he then used %%as broken up and plundered of a large amount
of specie. The Safe and Wagon constructed for it were ex-
hibited at our works, and to several Liverpool houses, and met
with great approval from several of our engineers and prac-
tical men, and doubtless will be in the recollection of the
Public, and we have great pleasure in announcing that we have
received the following polite and unsolicited note from Mr.
Watson, who has since given us permission to publish it.
"Derby Buildings, 20th September, 1850.
"Mr. W:_TSON presents his compliments to Mr. MELNER,
aad has to communicate to him the following extract of a letter,
dated the 11th ultimo. from his partner, at Tampico
"The Iron Waggon and Safe, (ex Josephine,) with Sixty Bars
of Silver, was attacked by Forty-five Robbers, between Catore
aid San Luis Potosi. and they worked twelve hours to open the
Chest, and did not succeed; meantime assistance came from
San Luis Potosi.

"This is very satisfactory, and does you credit, and will, no
doubt, lead to further orders."

The whole of the outside of this Safe was half-inch wrought-
iron, proof against sledge-hammers, chisels, or any other vio-
lence, and well it did its duty. We have at this time a number
of large Banker's and Merchant's Safes in course of construc-
tion—one for a Diamond Merchant in London—of which we
invite the attention of the Public. Our Works are the most
extensive and complete of their class in the world, employing
wore experienced Workmen (upwards of 100, assisted by the
nest approved and powerful machinery) than all the Safe-
makers in England together—a Lancashire Workshop well
worth looking over. Its whole operations—from the cutting
up and working of the Wrought-iron Plates and Bars, from the
thickness of a half-crown to that of its diameter, to the
building ap of these superb and massive Safes—the filling of
their chambers with the Fire-resisting materials—the arrange-
Rent of their powerful Hinges, Bolts, and impregnable Locks
—altogether are well worthy of the study of the Mechanic and
the Man of Science.

A T a PUBLIC MEETING of the IA iiit'l3ll..-1,N4 IS
of the BOROUGH of LIVERPOOL, convened by the
Mayor, pursuant to a Requisition numerously and respectably
signed, and held on the 20th of Novemb,r, 1850, at the' Ses-
sions'-house, Chapel-street, and, by adjournment, at the Am-
phitheatre,

JOHN BENT, Esq., Mayor, in the Chair,
It WRS moved by I'. B. HORSFALL, Esq., seconded by GEORGE
GRANT, Esq
" That it

... is the opinion of thie Meeting that the recent ag-
_.sion on the part of the Pope, in appointing a Romish
Hierarchy over this Protestant country, is an • ion of the
prerogative of the -4 an encro rent on the civil
and relig

Whereupon, it was moved, as R amendment, by RICHARD
SH I EL, Esq., seconded by the v. JOHN WORTHY,
" That it is the opinio of this Meeting that the recent
appointment, on the pa of the Pope, of -a; Roman Catholic
Archbishop of Westmi ter, is not an invasion of the preroga-
tive of the Crown, or any encroachment' on:the civil and
religious privilege f the people."-

was negatived?

.conded by

, . .
" That the following Address to Her Majesty be adopted, and
s'gned by the Mayor, on behalf of the Meeting :
To the Queen's most excellent DJajestry, the humble Address
of the undersigned inhabitants of Liverpool.
We, your Majesty's faithful subjects, beg leave humbly to
approach your Majesty with heartfelt assurances of undeviat-
ing loyalty to your Crown, and of sincere attachment to your
person.

' We consider it our duty to declare to your Majesty that we
regard with feelings of indignation the insolent attempt made
by the Pope of Rome to interfere with your Majesty's un.

We, therefore, humbly venture to pray that your Majesty
will maintain inviolate your Alajesty's supreme authority, by
the immediate adoption of such measures as shall be most
effectual for that purpose, and for the security of the Protes-
tant.faith in this Realm. •

And your petitioners will ever pray.' "
Whereup.,n, it was moved, as an amendment, by the Rev.
JOHN WALMSLxY, seconded by the Rev. NUGENT, •
"That, considering the united and undoubted loyalty of her
Majesty's Protestant and Catholic subjects, the present address
is unnecessary, and would only tend to destroy the peace and
good feeling at present existing between the members of evei y
religious denomination in this town."
And thi

mendment, being put to the Meeting, was nega-
tived, and the original motion adopted by a large majority.
It was moved by FRANCIS SHAND, Esq., seconded by
EDWARD CROPPER. ESQ.. and

Resolved —" That the cordial thanks of this Meeting be pre-
senled to the Right Hon. Lord John Russell for the expre Sion,
of his determination to uphold the supremacy of the Crown ;
and, if the present Laws be found insufficient, it is the Petition
of this Meeting that he will be pleased to advise her Majesty
to summon Parliament together forthwith, for the purpose of
taking such measures as shall appear necessary."
JOHN BENT, Mayor.

The Mayor having vacated the chair,

by ADAM HODGSON, Esq., and
Resolved,—" That the best thanks of the Meeting be given
to the Worshipful the Mayor, for calling and presiding over

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES IN GLASGOW. MAN-
CHESTER, LINCOLN'S-INN, &c.
MILNER'S " lIOLDFAST" and FIRE-RESIST-
ING SAFES are the strongest, best, and cheapest safe-
guard in the world against fire, robbery, and fraud ; 20,000 of
them keep the books, deeds, and cash of the practical men of
Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, &c., who know their superi-
ority to any others. Five of them have brought their contents
unscathed out of the ruins of large tires in Glasgow alone this
year, wherein scores of other safes have been burnt out.
Twenty-five Mikes were burnt out in Lincoln's-inn in January,
. .

in one alone of which the title-deeds of thirty large landed
estates were burnt, which would all have been preserved in
Milner's Safes. From some hundreds of certificates, the fol-
trep 'curing is selected, as one out of 1 y instances in which
" everything was consumed in buildings excepting what
Milner's Safe contained :

" Clyde-atreet4Gd.erston, Glasgow, May 7, 1849,

" Gentlemen,7At t alamitous fire yesterday morning, by
which our premises id stock of oil, tallow, &c., were totally
destroyed, our b s were preserved in the Milner's Fireproof
Safe, purchase rom you. We have great pleasure in thus
bearing testi ny to the great efficiency of thtse Safes.
" CHARLES BOYD and CO."
This e was most severely tested; the brass knob and brass
work about the lock were melted off.

" Glasgow, 10th February, 1849.
" Gentlemen,—The hooks and papers which we had in your
Fire-resisting Safe, which was subjected to a most intense heat
for several hours at the late fire in Gordon-street, on Thursday
last, were wholly preserved—the property saved being of ex-
treme importance to us. We have, therefore, great pleasure
in communicating this fact, deeming your Safes invaluable as
a protection against tire, and an invention with which the pub-
lic cannot be too well acquainted.—We are. gentlemen, your
obedient servants, " K ER, DOERIYG, and CC."
The outside of the above Safe was completely burnt through.
Triumphant Resistance to Robbers:
" Messrs. Thos. Milner and Son Liverpool.

" Gentlemen,—Our Milne; 's Sate was attempted to be bro-
ken open last night ; but, notwithstanding the great and per-
ciaverinn. itiolorii, with which the rohliprti have. lA•nrkail of. th.

door and back of the Safe (both of which are beaten in and cut
throuzli the outer plates in numerous places), the lock and
bolts remained true, and saved the contents. You may send
us another Milner's Holdast Safe, No. 6.
" JAS. RICHARDSON and CO.
" Glasgow, 28th December, 1848."
" Manchester, August 13th, 1847.

" Gentlemen,—ln the late fire in Market-Wtreet, which -en-
tirely gutted the whole block of building's of which my wary-
house formed part, I have sincere pleasurein informing you
that my books, 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 pubic.—l
am, your obedient servant,
" THOMA 3 HAIGH,
" Woollen Merchant, New Brown-street, and Market-street.
" Messrs. Milner and Son."

In the numerous accidental fires and experimental tests
which Milner's 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;
including the strongest wrought-iron safes and closets in the
world, lined with their unequalled fire-resisting chambers.
Out of upwards of 20,000 of their safes in use amongst the
manufacturing and commercial houses in Great Britain—the
class best able to appreciate their value—numerous cases of
severe trial in accidental fires 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. B. Blackaller's Ship Chandlery Store, Spading-
street, Liverpool : a strong and fierce fire; safe most severely
burnt outside; contents unsinged. •
Fire at Messrs. J. and W. Walker's, the extensive builders,
Birkenhead: buildings entirely gutted,. everything burnt in
them, including the contents of large iron safe and drawers,
standing beside Milner's; the contents of Milner's uninjured,
and in use now.
Fire at Messrs. Garniss andCo.'s, Park-lane : a very strong
fire; again the contents of Milner's Safe the only things saved
on the premises.
Fire at Plimsaul Brothers, of Plymouth : a very extensive
and destructive tire; a large iron safe, covered with brickwork,
with double iron doors, burnt out ; Milner's entirgit ArVer-
ving its contents.

Fire in Queen-street, Glasgow: a great numbe es alitr
closets burnt out; no books saved through, ~th
excepting Messrs. B. 8.. and Thomas Bro 147_,Erbi

APPEAL FOR . THE ENDOWMENT OF THE
NEW CHURCH OF ST. STEPHEN THE
MARTYR, EDGE-HILL.
the spring of 1849 the Committee whose names
J_ are attached to this appeal issued a circular, calling the at-
tention of the j-üblic to the state of Church accommodation at
Edge-hill, by which it appeared, that for a population of 7567
souls, of which about 4000 belong to the middle and poorer
classes, there was a Church for 900 persons, with 80 free sit-
tings in the most inconvenient parts of it.
A subscription list was opened, which now amounts to .4'5394
for the land and building, and 4339 for the endowment. On
the 17th of May in the present vear, the first stone of a new
Church, designed by Mr. Scott, of London, was laid by the
Bishop of the Diocese, the walls of which are now rising so
rapidly as to afford a reasonable expectation that the Church
may be consecrated about May, 1851.
Tho building is contracted for by Mr. Dempster, for .41866.
The land, purchased from the Marquis of Salisbury, costs
.4'1115. The extras, such as Architect's Commission, salary of
the Clerk of the Works, Warming, Ventilation, and Lighting
apparatus, Fencing, and Furniture, will be about .41200 more.
The Church is calcula ed to contain about 1000 persons, and
as 560 sittings must be free, for the use of the poor, for ever,
and 100 more will be let at a low rate to the residents in the
district, there will be a very small income from pew rents
available for the Clergyman's stipend and the expenses of the
Church.
It thus becomes absolutely necessary that the endowment
should be at least .4'2000; and in addition to this a repair fund
of .4250 will be required.
The total expense of Land, Building, Endowment and Repair
fund will be about .47560, and towards thi lie-Committee
have collected .4'5733, of which about .419 was obtained from
the congregation of St. Mary's and I e inhabitants of Edge
Hill.

The Committee do not dot that He who has prospered
their labours thus far vvillc inue His blessing; but inasmuch
as their resources seem be nearly exhausted, they have no
alternative except to sue this fresh appeal. The Church
cannot be consecra until it is endowed ; they therefore ear-
nestly hope that ten' friends will enable them to complete
what has been successfully commenced.

COMMITTEE FOR BUILDING THE NEW CHURCH. IN THE
