From R. Steele, Esq.
Mr. Levi has this day operated upon a corn under my great

to grow into the flesh, and thereby inflammation was incurred ;
but I am happy to state Mr. Levi has cured my toe entirely,
and I can walk now with the greatest ease. I can, therefore,
recommend my friends who are suffering from the same cause
to pay a visit to Mr. Levi. R. STEELE.

BY HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.
FAIRBANKS' WEIGHING MACHINES,
with or without
POOLEY'S NEW PATENTED IMPROVEMENTS,
adapted for Shops, Wharfs, Roads, and Railway s.
HENRY POOLEY AND SON,
27, MANCHESTER-STREET, LIVERPOOL,
CONTINUE THE
SOLE MAKERS UNDER T ATENT.
Some of their advantages are—
I.—Economy in Price; tot extent of from 25 to 40 per
cent. - -

ll.—Economy in Ti and Labour ;—only the one hun-
dredth part of the we' is is required to be lifted; one-half of
the time occupied i eighing is entirely saved.
lll,—Economy in Space ;—they have only one Platform or
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.

As a-Weigh-bridge for weighing Wagons on common roads,
and 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
the office; it is more exact in its indications than any of the
old kinds of Weigh-bridges. The celebrity of
FAIRBANKS' MACHINES,

POOLEY'S MANUFACTURE,
has induced many imitations, having a professed and specious
resemblance, at a low price. To guard the Public from impost
tion, and the invention from losing its high standing by the
hands of incompetent makers,

GREAT FIRE
IN MARKET-STREET, MANCHESTER ;
ENTIRELY CONSUMING A LARGE SQUARE OF WARE-
HOUSES, OFFICES, AND SHOPS.
IN the last great Fire in George-street, Manchester,
nine large Houses had their Books hurried 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 corttents uninjured out of the burning
mass being the one alluded-to below.

" Manchester, August 13th, 1847.
." GENTLEMEN2-4gthe late Fire in Market-street, which
entirely gutted theAntire block of biliiainoc /If ‘‘,l,;A,

my rN are-
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 evaporatinn•. 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 uneaualled 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 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.
likre 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
on the premises.
Fire 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 iti4-u.een-street, Glasgow; a great number of Safes and
Closets burnt out; no books saved throughout the buildings
excepting Messrs. S. A. and Thomas Browns', in Milners
Safe.
