" certify that I witnessed the whole proceedings of
testing the above Messrs. Milner and Son's PATENT
FIRE-RESISTING SAFES this day, and it is my opinion,
they are superior in resisting fire to any other invention
for Deed and Book Safes that I have yet seen tested.
" Signed,
" WILLIAM ROSE, Superintendent Fire Brigade."

*lll.—Beside the No. 1 Safe in the same fire, and on
the side least likely to become hot, was placed an Iron
Bookcase of to t. inch thick. As the fire became red
hot, the iron dry Bookcase and contents became red hot,
whilst the chamber of our safe, pervaded with fluid and
steam at or under the boiling point, rejected the fire as
the other absorbed it. One, when opened, was full of
cinders ; the other of steamed paper uninjured.
THOMAS MILNER and SON.

flV.—Some interested and pfejudiced parties having
suggested that the Boxes made to test, and those made to
sell, might not be the same, they went and purchased one
from Messrs. LOVE and BARTON, in Market-street, of
It inch chamber, which was tested for the same time, and
more severely than the one described in the fourth trial—
and was equally perfect when opened. The same parties
had previously obtained a small portable Deed Box, of
the weakest chamber, and, as they stated, managed to
destroy its properties at the bottom, over a smith:s
hearth, so as to have charred some of the papers neat the
bottom, at which were present several dealers in Iron
Safes.

PHYSICIANS' _& SURGEONS' PRESCRIPTIONS

CAREFULLY PREPARED.
MEDICINE CHESTS FITTED UP FOR SEA.
GENUINE DRUGS AND CHEMICALS.
T PRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, begs parti-
al • cularly to call the attention „of his Friends and the
Public to the under-mentioned selection of Preparations :
THE NECTARIAN SYRUP,
for producing a delicious, refreshing, and wholesome
Drink. The good effects of Acidulated Beverages, during
the Summer Season, are ,so well known in quenching
thirst, rendering the skit/clear and cool, and promoting
general health, that it is nearly superfluous to recommend
them.

Of all preparations of the kind, the NECTARIAN SY-
RUP is the most agreeable ; and, as possessing the above-
mentioned salubrious properties, is particularly recom-
mended.

To Captains of Vessels, persons going abroad, or taking
excursions of pleasure, it will be found extremely useful,
being portable, and so well calculated to allay that dis-
tressing heat and fever which accompanies thirst.
ESSENCE OF RENNET,
for making delicious Curds and Whey. This wholesome
preparation is engaged to keep, and obviates all the un-
certainty of making Whey from the Rennet Bag.
PRIESTLEY'S CITRATED EFFERVESCENT

MAGNESIAN APERIENT.
This delightful compound is recommended in Bilious
Affections, Indigestion, Gout, Heart-burn, and as a cool-
ing aspirant during the autumnal season.ln small doses
it is of great use in abating fever, forming a very agreea-
ble effervescent saline draught. The citrated flavour and
the carbonic acid gas evolved render it peculiarly grateful
to the Stomach, and an admirable corrective wben a free
indulgence has impaired its energies. Prepared and sold
only at 52, Lord-street, Liverpool, in bottles at 2s. 9d., and
4s. 6d. each.

PRIESTLEY'S FLUID EXTRACT OF

SARSAPARILLA.

In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal
Properties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore,
who, from various causes, would expetience great incon-
venience, or with whom it would be utterly impossible to
prepare the Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract,
which possesses the advantages of portability and of keeping
in any climate, will be found a most desirable mode of
employing this much-esteemed Medicine.
The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are
those of the Skin ; such as Scorbutic Affections, Erup-
tive Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c., arising from a
diseased state of the system at large. For removing
Blotches, Pimples, &c., from the Face, this Medicine has
no superior.
PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS,
which approach nearer than anything yet discovered to
the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The style of pre-
paring PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is peculiar to
himself, and combine scientific skill with great accuracy ;
and though numbers of people unacquainted with the
business, and others, have of late years attempted imita-
tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious
compounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor
the medicinal properties of the S'eidlitz Waters.
Sold in, Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Pow- j
ders, to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin 1
Cases.

VEGETABLE HAIR OIL,
Is allowed to be an excellent discovery for invigorating
and renovating the human Hair. It eradicates the scurf,
nourishes the Hair, prevents it falling off, produces a
most beautiful natural curl, and gives to artificial Hair a
'peculiar softness of texture and luxuriant appearance.
Sold in Bottles at Is. 3d. and 3s. each.
NEWLY-INVENTED CRYSTALLINE OIL.
This is a limpid VEGETABLE OIL, consolidated by a
peculiar process, and really is one of the best Preparations
aver made for nourishing and beautifying the hair and
keeping it in curl.
ESSENTIAL SALT OF LEMONS,

For taking Iron Moulds, Ink Spots, and other Stains out
of Linen, Muslin, Lace, &c., and for many other useful
purposes.—Price Is. per Box, or three Boxes for 2s. 6d.
MUCH-ADMIRED ALMOND FLAVOUR.

A few drops of this Flavour, added to Custards, Pud-
dings, Cakes, Wines, Jellies, &c., communicate a most
delicious taste of Almonds.— Sold in Bottles, with Direc-
tions, ls. 6d. and 3s.
PRIESTLEY'S FURNITURE PASTE,
For Cleaning and Polishing Furniture without labour or
trouble. This paste is used for cleaning and polishing
every description of Furniture ; whatever preparation
may have previously been used for that purpose, it adds a
high lustre to French polish.—Sold in Pots at Is. each,
or Three Pots for 2s. 6d.
GENUINE METALLIC LUSTRE.
This article is recommended to Housekeepers for clean-
ing all manner of Gold and Silver Plate, Metal Teapots,
Pewter Measures, Brass Fenders, Candlesticks, Stair'
Rods, Brass Plates on Doors, Tin Covers, &c., &c:. with
half the labour which is generally required with other
preparations, the above lustre leaves a beautiful polish on
the Metal.—Sold in Squares, Gd. and 13. each.

'V L. HAUSBURG has the honour to announce the
• arrival of the entire Collection of NOVELTIES
and ARTICLES of VERTU, selected during his recent
visit to the Continent, comprising an immense variety of
elegant and tasteful Articles peculiar to the inventive
genius of the French Artists, and in the production of
which they are universally admitted to be pre-eminent.
TheBRONZES
are of the most recherche description, consisting of Copies
from the most renowned Antiques, Historical and My-
thological Subjects, and the imaginative designs of the
first Continental Artists, at the head of whom Fratin,
Gechter, and Cumberworth should be specially noticed.
Illustrations of Torquato Tasso's Poem, " Jerusalem
Delivered," Figures of Richard Coeur-de-Lion, and other
distinguished Crusaders, will be found well deserving at-
tention.
F. L. H. has again replenished his Stock of

CtOCKS,
direct from his Manufactory at Paris, which includes every
variety of material and design in which it has been prac-
ticable to produce them. He would also refer to the
Assortment of

•
CHINA,
containing some beautiful and guaranteed specimens of old
Sevres, and some imitations of Dresden, so perfect as not
to be distinguished from the real, except by the most ex-
perienced connoisseurs. The importation of
BOHEMIAN GLASS
is more extensive than ever, and for beauty of design and
richness of tint, cannot be surpassed. He respectfully
and earnestly solicits an inspection of the above, feeling
assured that the trouble will be amply compensated by the
gratification afforded.
F. L. HAUSBURG,
OLD P OSTOFFICE-BUIL DINGS.

TROUSERINGS, in the greatest variety, in French
and English DOESKINS,,atIIO, BOLD-STREET.
DAWBAR ND DAVIS,
TAILOR .AND DRAPERS.

T. B. HAYWARD
PRESUMES to solicit the attention of his Friends and
the Public to his
TAILOR AND DRAPERY ESTABLISHMENT,
No. 50, BOLD-STREET,
where, by long experience, punctuality, and, especially,
Style of Work execute:l, he has sincerely aimed at the
satisfaction of the Public and to secure a part of its pa-
tronage. In doing this he does not profess to sell " below
prime cost," as this could only deceive the unwary and
offend the intelligent ; but he does profess to offer to his
customers articles which, in QUALITY, FINISH, and
PRICE COMBINED, are at least equal to those of any
house in Liverpool, and he is determined to make it not
less the interest than the pleasure of his Friends and the
Public to confide to him their orders.
He grounds his claim to consideration on the guarantee
offered by experience, zeal, and a moderate Establishment
and expenses, although in Bold-street, and puts forth the
following List of CASH DOWN Prices, not to show how
low he can quote, which is neither his wish nor practice,
(trial being the satisfactory proof,) but to correct any
public misapprehension, by showing, that to sell cheap is
not the peculiar prerogative of the so-called Cheap Esta-
blishments in this town :

Superfine Dress Coats, (say any Colour).£2 15 0
Do. Frock do. ditto .. 3 0 0
Black Dress Trousers ...
Do. Vest
Light Quilting ditto, 7s. Gd. to
Satin, rich Figured or Plain, 16s. to
Velvet, do. do. 255. to llO 0
It must be obvious to any reflecting man that the above,
or any other, list of prices might be made fifteen or twenty
per cent. lower, while, from the almost endless distinc-
tions of quality in Cloth, and from the natural and neces-
sary ignorance of the ordinary buyer, it must also be plain
that the purchaser must be ultimately thrown upon the
integrity and good faith of the seller ; since, in this, in as
every other department of the trade, it is the universal
experience and conviction of sensible men, that, if they
will have a REALLY GOOD article it can be obtained only
at a proportionably reasonable price. Rubbish may be
met with at any time, any where, and at all rates.
He has but to add, that, while he would. ever recognise
the fair claims of honourable competition, the experience
of above twenty-five years enables him confidently to af-
firm, that, in all cases where extremely low prices are
quoted, extremely low
qualities can alone be furnished ;
but, in articles of sterling value, the purchaser, to his
cost, discovers that he has to pay, in all cases equal, in
many cases ABOVE, the rates of established and respectable
houses ; and it is due to himself to state, that no shop
in
town can supply a respectable Article
on more advan-
tageous terms.
