GAS CHANDELIERS.
VIR. WILLIAM PENN SMITH apprizes the Pub-
jy_lL he that, on SATURDAY next, the 9th inst., he will Open,
at his
MANUFACTORY, 26 and 28, HANOVER-STREET,
(Two doors from Duke-street,)
one of the largest Rooms in Liverpool, for the display of a great
variety of
CHANDELIERS, PENDANTS, AND GENERAL
GAS FITTINGS,
of entirely new patterns, prepared for the present season.

The growing demand for articles of a superior description is
this branch of business, and the rapid increase of his Chande,
tier trade, have induced Mr. Smith to extend his premise&
considerably, and to make such alterations as will, on that day,
enable him to present, at one view, the greatest assortment of
truly elegant and elaborate designs to be seen out of London,
and at the same time a number of patterns admirably adapted
for ordinary purposes, in which recent improvements are
scarcely less conspicuous.
In this town the use of Gas has become almost a necessity',
not only because it is preferable in itself, but because it is an.
economy; and in inviting an inspection of his Gas Fittings, the
Proprietor believes that he is enabling Householders, who are
aware of the advantage of using Gas, to gratify their taste at a
cost which, only a year or two ago, would have been quite in-
adequate to the purpose.

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,'
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 entire block of buildings of which my Ware-
house formed part, I have sincere pleasure in 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 public.
I am your obedient servant
"THOMAS THOMAS 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 (7) chambered Safe, full of valuable
Books and Documents before the Fire, was found to contain
nothing but tinder and ashes after it

In the numerous accidental Fires and expenmental 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, nave 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, aitd."DoOrS

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 strong and fierc Fire; Safe most
severely burnt outside • contents unsinged.
1-kre at Messrs. J. and W. Walkers', the extensive builders,
Birkenhead; buildings entirely gutted, everything burnt ha
them, including the contents of large Iron Sate an.. 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,
en 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 Ind
Closets burnt out; no books saved throughout the buildings
excepting Messrs. S. R. and Thomas Browns', in lailnens
