Some of their advantages are-
-I.—Economy in Price; to the extent of from 25 to 40 per
cent. _

H.—Economy in Time and Labour ;—only the one hun-
dredth part of the weights is required to be lifted; one-half of
the time occupied in weighing is entirely saved.

Scale; no fixtures are required for suspension; no room is oc-
cupied by weights.
IV.—Economy in Annual Expense ;—they require less pe-
riodical adjustment ; the centres are detached from their
bearings, and of course exempt from wear, except at the mo-
ment of ascertaining the weight.

azd for Trucks or Wagons on Railways, this Machine is pe
culiarly. adapted. It may be fixed, if required, in a pit only
fifteen inches deep; it occupies only half the usual space in

GREAT FIRE
IN MARKET-STREET, MANCHESTER ;

ENTIRELY CONSUMING A LARGE SQUARE OF WARE-

nine large Houses had their Books burned in. Iron Safes,
Closets N%ith Iron Doors, Wrought Iron Fireproof (?) Safes,

number of parties have suffered the same calamity. The only
Safe which brought its contents uninjured out of the burning

" Manchester, August 13a, 1847.
" GENTLEMEN,—In the late Fire in Market-street, which
entirely gutted the entire block of buildings of which ma Ware-
house formed part, I have sincere pleasure in informing you
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 public.
" I am your obedient servant,
"THOMAS HAIGH, Woollen Merchant,
" New Brown-street and Market-street.
" Messrs. Milner and Son."

The outside of this Safe was partially melted: the contents
inside unsinged, being steamed (boiled instead of burned) by
the evaporating principle of the Safe. Near to it a large
Wrought Iron Fireproof (?) chambered Safe, full of valuable
Books and Documents before the Fire, was found to contain
nothing but tinder and ashes after it !
In the numerous accidental Fires and experimental tests
which Milners' Safes have been exposed to—every description
of ,Safe 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 enabled to
pledge themselves at all times to supply the most complete and
secure depositories for Books, Docnments, and Valuables • in_
eluding the strongest Wrought-iron Safes, Closets, and Doors
in the World. lined with their nnenualled Fire-resisting Cham-
bers. Out of upwards of 20.000 of their Sates in use amongst
the Manufacturing and Commercial Houses of Great Britain—
the class best aide to appreciate their value—numerous cases of
exposure to accidental fire have occurred, from which Thomas
Milner and Son select the following as instances, in which they
are of opinion that no other Safe than their own would have
preserved its contents unhurnt.
Fire at Mr. J. Blackaller's Ship and Chandlery Store, Spar-
ling-street, Liverpool; a strong and fierc Fire; Safe most
severely burnt outside • contents unsinged.
Ive at Messrs. J. and W. Walkers', the extensive builders,
Birkenhead; buildings entirely gutted, everything burnt in
them, including the contents of large Iron Safe and drawers,
staixling besides Milners'; the contents of Milners' uninjured,
and in use now.
Fire at Messrs. Garniss and Co.'s, Park-lane; a very strong
fire; again the contents of Milners' Safe the only thing saved
on the premises.
Ere at Plimsaul Brothers', of Plymouth; a very extensive
and destructive fire; a large Iron Safe covered with brickwork
with double Iron doors burnt out; Milners' entirely preserving
its contents.

Fire in Queen-street, Glasgow; a great number of Safes and
Closets burnt out; no books saved throughout the buildings
excepting Messrs. S. R. and Thomas Browns', in Milners
Safe.
