LIVERPOOL.
JRICHMOND respectfully announces to his
• Friends and the Public. that he has added to his
Woollen-Drapery and Tailoring Business a
READY-MADE CLOTHING DEPARTMENT,
which is now replete with Garments of ever cription.
The quality of the various Fabrics fo ich this Establish-
ment has long been distinguished • fully sustained in thp

various Garments now offered ey being made by first-rate
Workmen on the Premise nd CUT IN THE BEST STYLE,
the Proprietor being det med to offernothing but warranted
article:, and to excl the ruinously low-priced and inferior
Garments, so m' puffed off, disreputable to the dealer, inju-
rious to the erative, and, in reality, generally very costly to
the wearer.

The system of small profits and quick returns will be adopted
alike in this department as in the others.
An Inspection will amply repay Economists.
No Abatement or Discount allowed.
THE ORDER DEPARTMENT
. _

is also replete with EVERY NOVELTY OF THE SEASON

The Woollen Trade is conducted as usual : the present Stock
is more extensive, and combines a greater variety than hereto-
fore.

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

ROBBERY AND E.V/rE

Early last year, Messrs. Wm. Wa and Co., (late Watson
Erothers,) applied to Thos. Mil and Son, to construct for
them one of their strong Hol st Safes or Chests, to contain
10,000 dollars in silver, fo s safe conveyance over the moun-
tains from the mines t ample°. The Gentleman writing for
the Safe was at th ime lying confined to his bed from a
bullet and two ba net wounds he had received in an attack of
the Mexican robbers on a valuable convoy, in which the Safi
he then used was 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 tho
Public, and we have great pleasure in announcing that we have
received the following polite and unsolicited note from Mr.
Watson, who Las since given us permission to publish it.
"Derby Buildings, 20th September, 1850.

"Mr. WI.TSON presents his compliments to Mr. thliNl3ll,
and has to communicate to him the following extract of a letter,
dated the Ilth ultimo. from his partner, at Tampico
"The Iron Waggon and Safe, (ex Josephine,) with Sixty Bare
of Silver, was attacked by Forty-five Robbers, between Caton
and San Luis Potosi, and they worked twelve ure to open th.
Chest, and did not succeed; meantime assistance came from
San Luis Potosi.

"This is very satisfactory, and don 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
more experienced Workmen (upwards of 100, assisted by the
most 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
buildinc, up of these superb and massive Safes—the filling of
their chambersi with the Fire-resisting materials—the arrange.
went of their powerful Hinges, Bolts, and impregnable Locks
—altogether are well werthy of the study Of the Meekest, and
the lin of Science.
