LONDON HAT DEPOT,

JOHN WOOD, Proprietor of the above Establishment,
is again induced to appear before a discerning and ge-
nerous Public, adopting as his motto, the Best Article at
the Lowest Price—small profit, and quick returns, feeling
assured that the NIMBLE NINEPENCE will always beat the
SLOW SHILLING.

My object is to obtain a fair trial and comparison, my
professions have already been satisfactorily tested ; I can
now, therefore, appeal with confidence to those who may
not already have given me a trial with certainty of suc-
cess, being confident that the Public will see the justness
and soundness of the principles upon which my business
is conducted.

The success which has marked my PROGRESS AS A
MANUFACTURER, proves that such an establishment was
much wanted in Liverpool, as there cannot be a doubt
much higher prices are frequently exacted from the public
than are justifiable.
Therefore, I trust that the list, fraught with so many
advantages, will meet with general support, and that the
HATS will be such as to command the attention of
Purchasers.

QRS,—I am instructed to send the enclosed report of
A
the results of the public experiments on your Fire-
resisting Boxes and Saft s, at the Camden Station of this
Company, which was authorised by the Directors to be
made under the immediate superintendence of their own
officers ; and to congratulate you on the complete success
of the very severe trials by which you have allowed your
admirable invention to be tested.

I am, sirs, your obedient servant,

MILNERS' NEW PATENT

FIRE-RESISTING DEED, PLATE, AND CASH
BOXES, BOOK SAFES, AND GUNPOWDER
MAGAZINES, &c., &c.,
WARRANTED TO BEAR MORE HEAT, WITHOUT INJURY
TO THEIR CONTENTS, THAN ANY OTHERS OF EQUAL

DIMKNSIONS.

OT 14 graduating siTes:;iiie-ior all purposes, from
30s. to £l4 each ; for additional inner chamber, doubling
the thickness, and trebling the resisting power 50 per
cent. more each size.

The Chambers within Milners' Boxes and Safes con-1
tain the best Chemical non-conductor of heat, and Tubes
imbedded therein filled with alkaline fluid, which escapes
into the non-conductor whenever Fire reaches the Box
and heats it to the boiling point, steaming the chambers
and contents, neutralizing in the latent heat of the steam
1000 degrees of heat, keeping down the temperatt re, and
preventing ignition.
From every pint of fluid in the Chamber is slowly dis-
charged into and condensed in the contents of the Box
upwards of 200 Gallons of Steam, of more certain avail
in saving the Papers than tons of water thrown into a
burning building with the same object.
The advantage of this principle, embracing " the exclu-
sive use of any material evolving moisture on the applica-
tion of heat,' over every other description of Box or Safe,
is the advantage that Water has over every thing else in
quenching Fire.
An Iron Safe of one inch in solid thickness exposed to
red heat will char papers within it in fifteen minutes, and
remain a burning prison for them for hours afterwards.
Milner's Fire-resisting Principle has been investigated,
tested in Red Heat from One to Twelve Hours, in various
thickness, from 1 to 6 inches, and approved by the au-
thorities and scientific and practical men, in the leading
towns of the three kingdoms.
Under the auspices of the Royal Dublin Society and the
Liverpool Polytechnic Society : see Mr. Samuel Woods,
jun. pamphlet " On the Preservation of Documents from
Fire," &c. &c. &c.
The patentees have certificates from parties whose books
have been preserved by the boxes in fires on their pre-
mises.
In the late fire in George-street, Manchester, nine out
of ten houses lost their books in their iron safes.
CAUTION.—None are genuine but such as have Milners'
patent plates upon them, with the date " sealed 1810."

TO LOVERS OF GOOD COFFEE.
HE alteration in the duty on COFFEE induces them
to pay particular attention to that article, and the
process on which so much depends 'for developing the
agreeable aromatic properties of that wholesome berry, so
as to enable their Friends to indulge in the use of a de-
lightful beverage at the lowest possible cost.
They have erected an Improved Apparatus for Roasting
Coffee on the Premises, by which there is a considerable
saving in price and improvement in quality. The strength
and flavour are retained, which otherwise evaporate ;.so by
this method they are enabled to sell a better article at a
lower cost.

They beg to direct attention to the mode they have
adopted of Roasting, Grinding, and putting it immediately
into One-pound 'Tin Canisters, which will be found to re-
tain the fine aroma for a considerable time ; and they deal
out a genuine article for the smallest possible profit.
LIST OF PRICES. • Per lb.
Fine Ceylon Coffee
Fine old East India
This will be found on trial a really fine Coffee

connoisseurs.

The two latttr quaiities possess that fine aroma so much
sought after by judges of the article, and are highly re-
commended.

Twopence will be charged for each Pound Tin Canister
containing the Coffee, and will be allowed for when re-
turned.
They particularly recommend the Coffee put into One-
pound Tin Canisters to families and large consumers, as
being decidedly preferable to its being wrapped in paper.
Family orders, either by post or otherwise, punctually
attended to, and delivered daily, free of carriage, within,
three n:iles of the Establishment.

THIS Undertaking embraces several objects of great
public utility, whether viewed separately or in con-
nexion with each other.
In the first place, the establishment of a Railway, by
the most direct route, from the City of Glasgow
.to the
wealthy, populous, and rapidly increasing community in
the districts adjoining to Hamilton, Bothwell, Mother..
well, Wisbawton, and the various coal and iron works in
that part of the country ;
In the second place, a direct and uninterrupted Rail-
way Communication between the City of Glasgow and the
inexhaustible fields of coal and other minerals, lying in
the lower valley of the Clyde, as well as those traversed
by the Wishes,/ and Coltness Railway, the Wilsenton
Railway, and other communicating Lines ;
In the third place, a union between the Caledonian
Railway and the City of Glasgow, possessing the Ter-
minus at that city, suggested by the Royal Commis-
sioners appointed to report on the best means of Railway
communication between England and Scotland; and
In the fourth place, a Junction of all those Lines with
the existing Railway leading from Glasgow to the sea-
ports of Greenock and Port Glasgow, so as to form one
continuous and unbroken Line to the south of Scotland
and all parts of England.
The Provisional Committee have been induced to state,
in the first place, the local objects to be attained, because
these objects have long been the subject of public 'consi-
deration, and, of themselves, afford the certainty of an
ample return for the expense to be incurred, without re-
ference to any Line of Railway not yet formed ; and also
because they ought not to be lost sight of in the prospect
of a Junction with the Caledonian Line, and of.a con-
nection between that Line and the Railway to Greenock
and Port Glasgow.
An examination of the Sketch of the proposed Lines
will show bow the objects in view are to be attained.
The Polloc and Govan Railway, which has been
already constructed and is open to the public, is a line of
three miles in length, commencing at the Harbour of
Glasgow, and terminating at the Royal Burgh of Ruther-
glen ; and it is intended to be incorporated in the present
undertaking.
With this view the Provisional Committee have ac-
quired a right to the Polloc and Govan Railway, by an
agreement of Sale conditionalson an Act being obtained
for the Clydesdale Junction Line, at a price (to be taken
in stock) which will afford an ample return to the New
Company ; and it is part of the agreement that the price
(while it shall in no event exceed the stipulated sum) shall
be subject to review by Mr. Locke, the Engineer to this
undertaking, who may reduce it to such an amount as he
may think reasonable. The Provisional Committee have
also concluded an agreement for such station ground as
may be required, at a price to be fixed by arbitration.
From the terminus of the Polloc and Govan Railway
at Rutherglen, it is intended that the main line shall run
eastward to Hamilton; and that a Branch shall be formed
to join the Wishaw and Coltness Railway at Motherwell.
By me ins of the last-mentioned Railway the communica-
tion with the Caledonian Line will be completed ; but if
the terms demanded by the Wishaw and Coltness Com-
pany, for such accommodation, should render it necessary
or desirable, the proposed Line can be extended, at a
small expense, so as to join the Caledonian without the
intervention of any part of the Wishaw and Coltness
Railway •, and the Provisional Committee contemplate
the possibility, though not the probability, of such an ex-
tension as a part of the present undertaking.
The projected works, including the price of the Polloc
and Govan Railway, and an ample allowance for Stations,
are estimated to cost £400,000, which is proposed to be
the Capital of the Company • but in order to provide for
the possible extension of the Line as above explained,
and for some highly profitable additions in the shape of
short side Branches, which this Railway admits of, the
Provisional Committee recommend that power should be
reserved to increase the Capital to £500,000, if needful,—
the existing Shareholders having a preference to the ad-
ditional stock.
The Provisional Committee have taken great pains to
ascertain, with accuracy, the returns which may be ex-
pected from the Traffic on the proposed Railway ; and
after allowing for every contingency, and deducting from
the gross receipts 40 per cent. for working expenses, the
results show a net profit on the Capital, of nearly 9 per
cent. per annum, exclusive of the great additional traffic
which may be anticipated from the Caledonian Line. The
Committee have concluded an Agreement with the Pro-
visional Committee of the Caledonian Company, upon
terms advantageous to both undertakings ; and they have
no doubt, that, from the comparative shortness of the
Clydesdale line, and the superiority of its Terminus, the
greater part, if not the whole, of the Western traffic of the
Caledonian will pass along it.
The Committee have also ascertained that the Works
may be completed within eighteen months after the Act
of Parliament shall have been obtained.
The Shares will be £5O each, and it will be a provision
of the Act of Incorporation that no Subscriber shall be
liable for more than the amount of his subscription. A.
deposit of 10 per cent., or .£3 per Share, to be paid at
the time of Allotment; and Subscribers will have.to exe-
cute the Parliamentary Deed on receiving their Scrip.
Of the proposed Capital upwards of 3000 Shares have
already been taken up, by parties locally interested.

Application for Shares to be made in the form annexed,
addressed to the Secretary, or to Henry Francis, Esq ,
57, Threadneedle-Qtreet, London; Messrs. FORSYTH
and PRITCHARD, Liverpool; or Mr. J. B. Locke,
Manchester; from any of whom Prospectuses and Plans
may be obtained.
