inounced by cards, issued to 500 of the scien-
pal gentlemen of Dublin, which was adjourned
al Dublin Society's premises, on account of
progress thereon, took place at the Rotund.)
ber 7th, 1842. The fire, consisting of half a
ton of coals, and fifty to sixty feet of wood and kindling, was
lighted at one o'clock, with a box and powder safe, filled
with papers, &c., in the centre. The whole were examined
by the gentlemen present, whose signatures on the certificate
were placed inside. _

Sir John Kingston James kindly conducted the proceed.
ngs, and locked the box. At two o'clock, at Dr. Meyler's
suggestion, a large sugar hogshead, with both ends knocked
out, was placed over the top of the fire, which, quickly ig-
niting, caused a very fierce draught, and produced intense
heat on the tops of the boxes, which were seen through the
opening crevices of the burning cask most severely exposed.
A little before three o'clock, Dr. Meyler, with whom the
keys had been left by Sir John Kingston James, opened the
box, and its contents, including several parchments with seals
attached, were found to be perfectly safe. At half-past four
o'clock the Powder Safe was taken out and opened, and the
inner cell, with its contents, were still unaffected by the heat.
It was agai❑ replaced in the fire of red coke, and kept in
until six p.m. ; when taken out, after five hours' trial. al-
though the outer cell was red hot, the Inner one and contents,
on being opened, in the presence of Joshua Abel, Esq.. H.
Richardson, Esq., M.D., Messrs. Thosand, Gardiner,
Trouton, &c., were still as fresh and perfect as when placed
in the fire. We declare our satisfaction with the result of
these experiments, and our confidence in the perfect efficiency
of this principle for the preservation of all combustible ma-
terials in ordinary fires.

Hamburgh,29th Aust, 1842.
A Public Test of MILNER and SON'S (of Liverpool) PA-
TENT FIRE-PROOF SAFETY BOXES, took place on
the Grassbroke, near the Elbe, this afternoon ;
We, the undersigned, having been present during the whole
time of the above, feel p leasure in, expressing our conviction
of their perfect security in all cases of casual and ordinary
fires. The Box was filled with papers, circulars, books, and
old ledgers; in addition to which, Mr. Wenden, the repre-
sentative of the patentees, placed his watch inside ; the whole
were examined by the gentlemen present, and 'sere locked
down by " Hernn H. C. Bleeker, 68, Admiralitatistrasse."
The fire was composed of upwards of seven cwt. of coal, and
a considerable quantity of wood, oaken slabs, and other com-
bustibles, solely under the superintendence of Mr. Thomp-
son, Manager of the Globe Foundry Iron Works. The Box
was placed in the fire, and there allowed to remain for one hour
and a half, during the chief of which time it was of a white
heat. Much curiosity was excited respecting the watch ;
but on opening the box, it was perfectly safe, and going 4
true as when deposited—thewhole contents were also pre•
served, ncluding he document on which this certificate Is
written.

AN APPE-----------
ON BEHALF OF THE HIBERNIAN SCHOOLS,
PLEASANT-STREET,
FOUNDED BY THE

....
ST. PATRICK BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.
THE Committee of these Schools have found it necessary
.1. greatly to enlarge their means of instruction, in conse-
quence of a large majority of that portion of our population
confessedly standing most in need of education and least able
to procure it—the Irish Poor, being deprived of all use of
the Corporation Schools, without a compliance with regula-
tions forbidden by the rules of their Church.
Under these circumstances, the Committee have made
great efforts to secure able Teachers, and to adopt such a
y best prepare the Children to
fulfilyste m after may best
without interfering with the
Religious Liberty which it was the object of the founders to
secure instruction
dut
ies in
to ALL. They earnestly appeal to the Public to co-
operate with them in meeting the pecuniary obligations which
stheir of
must of necessity attend the carrying out a scheme of such
extended usefulness.
The Committee venture more particularly to appeal on be-
half of these Schools to all who are alive to the EXTENT
AND DEGREE OF JUVENILE DEPRAVITY IN LIVERPOOL,
EXCEEDING, AS APPEARS BY OFFICIAL RETURNS, THAT
OF ANY OTHER TOWN IN ENGLAND, who believe that the
means most likely to lessen this fearful evil are a sound edu-
cation, inculcating their duties to God, to their neighbour,
and to themselves, and that the law of doing auto others as
they would that others' should do unto to them. forbids them
to exclude any from the blessings of education on the grounds
of differing religious professions.
Subscriptions and Donations will be thankftilly received
and acknowledged by the Chairman or any other member of
the Committee.

CASE OF URGENT DISTRESS.

une vi tne most respectable mercantile hOnses in the town,
when the hand of affliction arrested his usual earnings, and
entailed upon his family, expenses they had no power of

the other is keeping a school, with every prospect of being
enabled to support her mother ; but unless, a few pounds
can be raised, the school must be broken up, and the Furni-
