Fully impressed with the necessity for perfect security
against accidents, P. and H. trust, by the production of
SUPERIOR CHANDELIERS at exceedingly Moderate
Prices, to supersede the very imperfect articles lately intro-
duced into Liverpool.
To remove the (1="
quality of the Oil in general use, P. and H. have undertaken
the supply of the

NEW PATENT OIL,
In Sealed Caw, at 4s. 6d. per Gallon,

by the use of which, the satisfactory performance of the
Lamps will be ensured ; and, as a rise in the price will take
place shortly, they venture to suggest the early transmission
of orders. _ _ _

PROMOLI and HAUSBURG,
OLD POSTOFFICE BUILDINGS

RECENT events have awakened so general a feeling of
the momentous importance of securing a protection
from fire to Dee4s, Records, MSS., Books and Papers of
Accompt, Cash, Gunpowder, and all Combustible Materials,
that THOMAS MILNER and SON feel excused in again
inviting public notice to their PATENT FIRE RESISTING
DEPOSITORIES. Having submitted their one-chambered
Boxes, of one inch in thickness , to Severe trials in the prin-
..

cipal towns, they have received from the authoris

,st satisfactory certificates of t'

The Certificate of the satisfactory trial of their Boxes in
Liverpool bears the signatures of the following gentlemen, to
whom permission of reference is kindly given :
THOMAS BOLTON, Esq. (ex-Mayor.)
JOHN SHAW LEIGH, Esq. (ex-Mayor.)
Sir THOMAS BRANCKER.
BARTHOLOMEW PRESCOT, Esq.
L. GRAHAM, Esq.
R. FRonsHam, Esq.
WM. STOCK, Esq.
S. WOODS, jun., Esq.
In addition to the above, Milner and Son draw attention
to the following statements :
A trial of Milner's Patent Fire Resisting Safes and Boxes
having been announced by cards, issued to 500 of the scien-
tific and principal gentlemen of Dublin, which was adjourned
from the Royal Dublin Society's premises, on account of
alterations in progress thereon, took place at the Rotund()
Gardens, October 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 again 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 place(
in the fire. We declare our satisfaction with the result o
these experiments, and our confidence in the perfect efficienc:
of this principle for the preservation of all combustible ma
terials in ordinary fires.
