SASSAFRAS CHOCOLATE.

DR. DE LA MOTTE'S NUTRITIVE, HEALTH
RESTORING AROMATIC CHOCOLATE,
PREPARED FROM THE NUTS OF THE SASSAFRAS TREE.
Sold by the patentee, 12, Southampton-street.
Strand, London.
This CHOCOLATE contains the peculiar virtues
of the Sassafras Root, which has been long held in great
estimation for its purifying and alterative properties. The
aromatic quality (which is very gratetul to the stomach) most
invalids require for breakfast and evening repast, to promote
digestion, and to it deficiency of this property in the customary
breakfast and supper, may in a great measure he attributed the
frequency of cases of indigestion generally termed bilious. It
has been found highly beneficial in correcting the state of
the digestive organs &c., from whence arises many diseases,
such as eruptions of the skin, gout, rheumatism, and scrofula.
In cases of debility of the stomach, and a sluggish state of the
lives and intestines, occasioning flatulence, costiveness, &c.,
and4in spasmodic asthma, it is much recommended.

GREAT FIRE
IN MARKET-STREET, MANCHESTER
_J
ENTIRELY CONSUMING A LARGE SQUARE OF WARE-
HOUSES, OFFICES, AND SHOPS.
IN the last great Fire in George-street, Manchester,
I nine large Houses had their Books burned in Iron Safes,
Closets with Iron; Doors, Wrought Iron Fireproof (?) Safes,
&c. &c. &c. ; and again on the above recent occasion, a great
number of parties have suffered the same calamity. The only
Safe which brought its contents uninjured out of the burning
mass being the one alluded to below.
" Manchester, August 13th, 1847.
M "GENTLEMEN,—In the late Fire in arket-street, which
entirely gutted the entire block of buildings of which my 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, Documents, and Valuables ; in-
cluding the strongest Wrought-iron Safes, Closets, and Doors
in the World, lined with their unequalled Fire-resisting Cham-
bers. Out of upwards of 20.000 of their Safes in use amongst
the Manufacturing and Commercial Houses of Great Britain—
the class best able 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 unburnt.
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.
Fire at Messrs. J. and W. Walkers', the extensive builders,
Birkenhead ; buildings entirely gutted, everything burnt in
them, including the contents o large Iron Safe and drawers,
standing 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
en the premises.
Fire at Plimsaul Brothers', of Plymouth; a very extensivo
and destructive fire; a large Iron Safe covered with brickwork
with double Iron doors burnt out; Milners' entirely preserving
1 its contents. _ _ _

Fire in Queen-street, tilasg,ow; 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.
Milners' Fire-resisting Safes, Chests, and Boxes, suitable for
all classes of Buildings, impregnable Locks and Cash Boxes,

HOUSE OF LORDS.--MONDAY

Lord LANSDOWNE brought in his bill for opening re-
lations with the Court of Rome.
Lord STANLEY and others urged the novelty of the
thing to the country and its importance, and contended
for time to consider. The day for the second reading was
fixed for the 24th instant.
The Bishop of MANCHESTER was introduced, and took
the oaths

Lord STANLEY, in presenting the petitions from the
West Indies, entered into a masterly exposition of the
State robberies and oppressions which, from the bill of
1826 to the Government encouragement of slavery in Cuba
and Brazil, had spread equal ruin on these colonies, and
all their inhabitants—till £lOOO could not be raised on
any estate in Jamaica, Demerara, or Trinidad. Nothing
short of a return to the differential duties of 1846 could
meet the necessities of the case. The £20,000,000 granted
to the planters formed a very indifferent recompense to
the planters for the labour they had lost. The supply of
sugar had fallen off during the years from 1839 to 1843, a
period of unlimited freedom of labour, from 3,520,000 cwt.
to 2,100,000 cwt. In 1817 the produce was 3,761,000 cwt.
in fact, from 1825 to 1832 the supplies of sugar had been
more than sufficient to meet the demands of this country :
the surplus had been sent to other countries, thus show-
ing that there had been no monopoly. But since the act
of emancipation the cost of production had been enor-
mously increased, and there had been a corresponding di-
minution in th-

upply. From 1830 to 1834 the expense
of producing a hundred weight of sugar was 4s. sd. ; from
1834 to 1838 it was 6s. 7d. ; from 1838 to 1842 it was
16s. 11d. ; and from 1842 to 1846 it was 21s. 6d. per cwt.
The petition from Trelawney, which he presented, stated
that the cost of production had been increased to 20s. per
cwt. of which 13s. 4d. went into the pockets of the la-
bourers, leaving the balance only to meet all the other ex-
penses of the planter. His lordship bore testimony, how-
ever, in favour of the conduct of the negroes, and said that
no class of labourers could be more disposed to make a
good use of their freedom. He highly approved of the
Emancipation Act; but maintained that the planters had
right to some protection against the competition of slave
roducers, who were now upon the same footing
