kindly conducted the proceed-
At two o'clock, at Dr. Meyler's
stion, a large sugar hogshead, with both ends knocked
out, was placed over the top of the fire, which, quickly ig-
niting, caused a very fierce draught, and produced intense
heat on the tops of the boxes, which were seen through the
opening crevices of the burning cask most severely exposed.
A little before three o'clock, Dr. Meyler, with whom the
keys had been left by Sir John Kingston James, opened the
boi, and its contents, including several parchments with seals
attached, were found to he perfectly safe. At half-past four
o'clock the Powder Safe was taken out and opened, and the
inner cell, with its contents, were still unaffected by the heat.
It was again replaced in the fire of red coke, and kept in
until six p.m. ; when taken out, after five hours' trial, al-
though the outer cell was red hot, the inner one and contents,
on being opened, in the presence of Joshua A hel, Esq., H.
Richardson, Esq., M.D., Messrs. Thosand, Gardiner,
Trouton, &c., were still as fresh and perfect us when placed
in the fire. We declare our satisfaction with the result of
thee experiments, and our confidence in the perfect efficiency
of this principle for the preservation of all combustible ma-
terials in ordinary fires.

Gentlemen,—At the late fire which consumed my ware-
houses, I regret to inform you that my Deeds, Papers, and
Account Books, which were deposited in two Iron Safes,
made by of Dublin, were completely reduced to ashes,
The inconvenience and loss occasioned to me is very great.
As I have now no faith whatever in Iron Fire-proof Safes,
(at least so styled,) I am induced to purchase your Fire-proof
Boxes which have been so strongly tested.
I am, Gentlemen, your humble servant,
RICHARG. HICKS
P.S.—Please send me a No. 10, with d avers, and No.. 1,
for deeds.

A Public Test of MILNER and SOgh

TENT FIRE-PROOF SAFETY BOXES, took place on
the Grassbroke, near the Elbe, this afternoon ;
We, the undersigned, having been present during the whole
time of the above, feel p leasureinl expressing our conviction
of their perfect security in all cases of casual and ordinary
fires. The Box was filled with papers, circulars, books, and
old ledgers; in addition to which, Mr. Wenden, the repre-
sentative of the patentees, placed his watch inside ; the whole
were examined by the gentlemen present, and acre locked
down by " Hernn H. C. Bleeker, 68, Admiralitatistrasse."
The fire was composed of upwards of seven cwt. of coal, and
a considerable quantity of wood, oaken slabs, and other com-
bustibles, solely under the superintendence of Mr. Thomp-
son, Manager of the Globe Foundry Iron Works. The Box
was placed in the fire, and there allowed to remain for one hour
and a half, during the chief of which time it was of a white
heat. Much curiosity was excited respecting the watch ;
but on opening the box, it was perfectly safe, and going a
true as when deposited—thewhole contents were also pre-
served, minding he document on which this eertifieere is
mitten.
