" Messrs. Milner and Son,
"Gentlemen,-1 am glad to inform you that the Safe I pur-
chased from you eight years ago, defeated the most violent
efforts of some thieves who obtained access to my premises last
night. They had cut a large hole in the outer plate, and tried
to force off the lock, or to force open the door, with a powerful
"jemmy" (which they left behind them,) but without success,
as we found the Cash and Books " safe::_this morning. Please
send me another, the same size, of,you'r improved make.

MILNERS'S "HOLDFAST" AND FIRE-RESISTING SAFE,
the Strongest Safeguard against Lobbery and Fire.
Early last year, Messrs. Wm. Watson and Co., (late Watson
Brothers) applied to Thos. Milner and Son to construct for them
one of their strong Holdfast Safes or Chests, to contain 10.000
rlollars in silver, for its safe conveyance over the mountains
from the mines to Tempico. The gentleman writing for the
Safe was at the time lying confined to his bed, from a bullet
and two bayonet wounds h had received in an attack of the
Mexican robbers on a valuable convoy, in which the Safe he
then used was broken np, and plundered of a large amount of
specie. The Safe and Waggon constructed for it were exhi-
bited at our works, and to several Liverpool houses, and met
with peat approval from several of our engineers and practical
men, and doubtless will be in the recollection of the public;
and we have great pleasure in announcing that we have re-
ceived the following polite and unsolicited note from Mr. Wat-
son, who has since given us perm•ssion tUpublish it
:
"Liverpool, Derby-buildings, 20th Sept., 1850.
" Mr. Watson presents his compliments to 111 r. Mimer, and
has to communicate to him the foll Owing extract of a letter,
dated the 11th ultimo, from his partner at Tampico :---
'The iron waggon ana safe. (ex Josephine), with sixty bars of
silver, was attacked by forty-robbers between Catore and San
Luis Potosi, and they worked twelve hours to open the chest,
and they did riot succeed; meantime assistance came from San
Luis Potosi.
'This is very satisfactory, and does yon credit, and will, no
doubt, lead to furtberorders.' /' • • • •
The whole of the outOtleof this; safe seas half--inch wrought
iron, proof against sledge-bammera, chisels, or any other .
violence, an,d well it did its duty.
We have at this time a number of large Banker's and Mer-
chant's Safes in course of coustrtietion—one for a Diamond.
Merchant in London—to which we invite the attention of the
Public. Our Wrrks are the most extensive and complete of
their class in the world, employing more experienced workmen
(upwards of 100, assisted by the, most approved and•powerful
etrhee.svie.ealuipweorrbtialyndomeasstsuid:

operations—from the cutting upand working of the Wrought-

Safes—the filling of their chambers with the Fire-resisting

The Fre-resisting 'reputation 'of Milner's Safes is founded

upon experiments of scientific men, anti facts;. by the former
their superiority to others has been proved ; and something
better than the merely negative fame of never haring been
tried is elicited from the following among hundreds of in-
stances:—
