" Gentlemen,—Our Milnet's Safe was attempted te be bro-
ken open last night; but, notwithstanding the great and per-
severing violence with which the robbers have worked at the
door and back of the Safe (both of which are orates ann cut
through the outer plates in unmerons places), the lock and
bolts remained true, and saved the contents. You may send
us another Milner's Holdfast Safe, No. 6.

" Gentlemen,—ln the late fire in Market-street, which en-
tirely gutted the whole block of buildings of which sly ware-
house formed part, I have sincere pleasure in informing yen
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
an, your obedient servant,

In the numerons accidental fires and experimental tests
which Milner's Safes have been exposed to, every description
sofe 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 esabled to
pledge themselves at all times to supply the most complete
sad 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 20,600 of their safes in use amongst the
manufacturing and commercial houses in Great Britain—the

elms best able to appreciate their value—numerous casessf
severe trial in accidental fires have occurred, front which
Themes Milner and Son select the following as instances, in
which they are ef opinion that no other safe than their own
would have preserved its eortents nnburnt:—

Fire at Mt. JAL Block&ller's Ship Chandlery Stirs, Sparring-
street, Liverpool : a strong and fierce fire; safe most severely
burnt outside; contents unsinged.
Fire nt Messrs. J. and W. Walker's, the extensive builders,
Rirkenbead : Buildings entirely gutted, everything burnt in
them, including the contents of large iron safe and drawers,

standing besideMilaer's; the coatenis of Milaer's uninjured,
and in use now.

Fire at Messrs. Garaiss and Co.'s, Park-lame: a very string
fire; again the contents of Afiluer's Safe the only things saved
en the premises.
Fire at Plimsaal Brothers, of Plynsenth ; a very extensive
acd destructive tire; a large iron safe, covered with brickwork,
with double iron doors, burnt rut; entirely preser-
eine its contents.

Fire in Queen-street, Glasgow: a great number of safes and
closets burnt nut; no books caved throughout tb• buildings

" I trust, Gentlemen, I may be pardoned for drawing your
attention to the fact that this Company •tow transacts annu-

in the extent of its Lamont Transactions in Life Assurance. it
is now the third, if not the second office in the World. Other
Institutions, established at an earlier period than the Standard,
may have a larger accumulation of past business, but few In-
stitutions for Life insurance enjoy so great an amount of pub-
lic favour, and, estimated by the amount or its annual business,
the Standard holds the highest position in Scotland. This is
certainly a proud position; but, at the sime time, it leads to
the anxiety, I may say ambition, to do still more, and I see
mason why the Standard should not yet occupy the firs' place

Meeting of the Company, which will be called for the purpose

will be distributed which is not demonstrated to exist, while
the profits of future yprs are not to any extent whatever an-
