PUBLIC TRIAL OF
VrILNER'S PATENT FIRE-RESISTING SAFES,
by permission of the Mayor and Authorities, who
requested Mr. Rose to superintend the proceedings :
" Clarence-street Police Yard, Manchester,
July 31, 18-14.
" L—Milner's Double 21 Inch Chamber or Banker's
Safe, was in a strong fire made of wood and coal ten hours.
During the progress it was taken out of the fire twice, the
papers examined, which were found to be uninjured, and
appeared to be damp with steam.
" ll.—Double 13 Inch Chamber Safe, was in a similar
fire seven hours, and when examined the papers appeared
as above.

" *III.—Two Inch Chamber Safe No. 1, was placed in
a similar fire two and a half hours, and after taking it out,
the papers were examined and found to be uninjured.
tIV.—E. Deed Box 14- Inch Chamber, was placed in
a similar fire one hour, and after it was taken out the pa-
pers were examined and found as above, except a few at
the top being discoloured.
I 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 4- to 4. 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 prejudiced 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. LOYE and BARTON, in Market-street, of
1 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 next the
bottom, at which were present several dealers in Iron
Safes.

MEDICINE CHESTS FITTED UP FOR SEA.
GENUINE DRUGS AND CHEMICALS.

T PRIESTLEY, CHEMIST. Lord-street, begs parti-
d • 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 skin 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.

IL. 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
elegart 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 rechercV 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
CLOCKS,
direct from his Manufactory at Paris, which includes every
variety of material and design in which it has been prac-
ticable to produce them. lie 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, land 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.
