THE LIVERPOOL MAIL.
QOME Rumours having been Circulated, that the Liver-
poolk..3 Mail was to be discontinued, the tendency of which
must be obvious, as regards Subscribers and Advertisers, the
Proprietor takes this opportunity of assuring the Public that
these rumours are wholly without foundation, and that so
far from the Paper being discontinued, it will, for the future,
be Published every Saturday morning, and in a considerably
Enlarged form, with an accession of space and an increased
quantity of General, Local, Literary, Commercial and Poli-
tical Intelligence. The Editorship will be in the same hands
as it has been from the beginning ; and it is resolved, that
without deviating in the slightest degree from the principles
heretofore advocated, and which have gained the approba-
tion of many readers, of all parties and shades of opinion, a
tone of strict independence, unshackled by any party or fac-
tious spirit, will be earnestly observed.
Subscriptions for the Paper and Orders for Advertise-
ments, or any description of Letterpress. Copperplate, or
Lithogra_phic Printing will be received by the
PUBLISHKR,
at the LIVERPOOL MAIL OFFICE, Liver-court, South

RECENT events have awakened so general a feeling of
the momentous importance of securing a protection
from fire to Deeds, 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 authorities of each
the most satisfactory certificates of their efficiency for ordi-
nary casualties; and, being confirmed in their opinion by a
ong course of experiment, that, under suitable modification
of chambers and thickness of boxes, the peculiar principle
of their Patent is capable of affording secnrity under the
severest ordeal likely to occur in calamities of the kind, they
respectfully solicit the consideration of gentlemen interested
in mechanical science to the subject generally, and investiga
use, their tion into r
thownp amongst the reste retensions of the various means of security in
M. and S. are prepared to submit their manufactures to
public trial with any others of equal dimensions, whilst their
comparatively moderate cost renders them extensively avail-
able.
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. FRODSHAM, Esq.
WM. STOCK, Esq.
S. Woons. 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
&c., in the centre. The whole were examined
lighted at one o'clock, with a box and powder safe, filled
resent, whose signatures on the certificate

Sir John Kingston James kindly conducted the proceed-
figs, and locked the box. At two o'clock, at Dr. Meyler's
suggestion, a large sugar hogshead, with both ends knocked
niting, caused a very fierce draught, and produced intense
p of the fire, which, quickly ig-
out, was placed over the to
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 unaffecte by the het.
It was again replaced in the fire of red coke,d a 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,
Trenton, &c. were still as fresh and perfect as when placed
in the fire. Are declare our satisfaction with the result of
these experiments, and our confidence in the perfect efficiency
of this pals in rinciple for the preservation of all combustible ma-
ordinary fires.
