"DEAR Sm,—We have much pleasure in bearing unqualified
testimony to the efficiency and important advantages of 'Mi-
ners' Fire-resisting Safes and Boxes, in cases of accident from
Fire. After the destructive Fire at our offices, this morning,
the books and papers deposited in Milners' Safe, purchased
from you, were found to be entirely uninjured by fire, whilst
those contained in a strong Iron Safe and Drawers standing
beside it, were completely destroyed. We will accordingly
thank you to supply us with another Safe of the same size

TO HEADS OF FAMILIES, &c.
FREEMAN'S SWEET ESSENCE OF SENNA,
(The most agreeable Purgative,)
Containing in a highly-concentrated form all the active princi-
ple of Senna entirely deprived of its nauseating and griping
properties, and rendered so peculiarly pleasant to the taste,
that children will take it with a positive relish.
The extraordinary merit of this medicinal novelty has ob-
tained for it the distinguished patronage of Her Majesty—the
Queen Dowager—the following Physicians to Her Majesty and
the Queen Dowager, Sir C. M. Clark, Bart: M.D., Dr. Fergu-
son, and Dr. Locock—Sir David Dave's, and Dr. Holland—by
many Princes, Nobles, and Families of distinction—by most of
the eminent Physicians and Mpdical Men in London, who have
been for several years, and udW are, in the daily habit o f pre-
scribing and recommending it as the best and safest domestic
aperient for females and children—the aged and delicate—the
nervous—the biliourthe habitually costive, and those suffer-
ing from piles, worms, sickness, or headache, and as being
particularly adapted for ladies during pregnancy, and children
during dentition.
Impelled by a sense of duty, confident of conferring a great
national benefit, the Proprietor proudly submits it to the pa-
tronage of a discerning public,. assured that a single trial will
convince every one of its inestimable value as a pleasant, safe,
and efficacious domestic aperient, the moderate price of which
places it within the reach of every family. Sold by all respect-
able Venders of Medicine, in bottles at Is. lid., 2s. Gd., 4s. 6d.,
lls., and 20s. each.
CAUTION.—The great celebrity this medicine has attained,
having induced many druggists in Scotland and England to
put up for sale base and worthless imitations, to the serious
injury of the original preparation, purchasers are therefore
requested to ask for Freeman's Sweet Essence of Senna, each
genuine bottle of which is signed John Freeman.

Travelling abroad,

TESTIMONIAL,

48, Stamford-street, London, August 2, 1844.
Sir,—l have much pleasure in bearing testimony to ,your
unique and elegant preparation of Senna, which contains in a
highly-concentrated form the active principle of that valuable
Domestic Aperient. I have taken it out with me twice to India,
and basing found it to preserve the active principle of Senna,
quite free from fermentation, I consider it admirably adapted
for persons travelling abroad ; and am quite sure, that no per.'
son who knew its value would ever take a voyage without a
supply of your Sweet Essence of Senna.
I remain, Sir, yours respcctfully,
To Mr. J. Freeman. It. 31..ULETON , Surgeon.

GREAT SALE OF LANDS, IN BIRKENHEAD AND
CLAUGHTON-CUM-GRANGE.
MESSRS. T. WINSTANLEY and SONS have
received instructions from the Commissioners of Bir-
kenhead, to offer for
SALE BY PUBLIC AUCTION,
On WEDNESDAY, the 30th SEPTEMBER,
In ELIGIBLE LOTS, for BUILDING PURPOSES, their
LAND
in the following situations in the said Townships, viz. :
Within the NEW PARK at BIRKENHEAD ;
On the WEST or UPPER SIDE of the PARK, (known as the
Forest Land ;)
At FLAYBRICK-HILL, near the INTENDED CEMETERY;
In CONWAY-STREET, near SAINT JAMES'S CHURCH,
now erecting ;
In HAMILTON-STREET, adjoiningrtherArMAßKET ;
In LIVINGSTON-STREET, n rOAKFIELD and the NEW
PARK.
TERMS OF PAYMENT per cent. deposit, 10 per cent. at
the expiration of twel months ; the remainder of the pur •
chase-money to remain (if required) for ten years from the clay
of sale, at four per cent. interest.
Plans and particulars will be ready for delivery in a few
days ; and in the meantime information may be obtained at the
Surveyor's Office, Commissioners'-rooms, Hamilton-square,
Birkenhead; or at the office of Messrs. MALL ABY, TOWN-
*I"."?--and'l.MAt."Alt=7: r•LTIM-street,
CommiBsioners'-rooms, July 3d, 1846.

These Freehold Properties will be submitted to Public Com-
petition by the Commissioners, under circumstances peculiarly
favourable to Purchasers :.in Lots, and under such terms and
conditions as it is deemed will facilitate a realization to the Ca-
pitalist and Builder.
The Land thus offered for Public Sale, is wholly within the
Township of Birkenhead, and under the protection of its Local
Acts, and has, by its favourable position, participated largely
in the great works carried out and those now in progress, un-
der the powers of the several Acts in force for the Improvement
of the Town.
THE LAND SURROUNDING THE PARK, and perma-
nently attached to it, is situated between the carriage drives
and the several magnificent roads lately executed in continuous
and uninterrupted boundary to that property, and within 2000
yards average distance from the Ferries. The great extent and
acknowledged beauty of the Park (in the formation and com-
pletion of which no expense has been spared) has secured a
nucleus to the Building Land, forming a prospect commanded
by the whole of that Property, of very striking and judiciously
varied scenery. The Park is situate on a gentle slope, gradu-
ally rising to considerable elevation, and from which extensive
marine views, on the Lancashire and Cheshire shores, are
embraced.
ADJOINING the Park Land, with advantages little inferior,
is.situated the Land called THE FOREST LAND, now under
Timber, and very eligible for Villas and other classes of Pro-
erty
p .
With a due regard to the principles and preliminary measures
upon which Building Land is brought into a condition for im-
mediate realization, the Commissioners have (aided most ma-
terially by the central position of the Property) been enabled to
effect a complete union with the leading and conspicuous
thoroughfares in the Town.
THE CEMETERY -AND CONWAY-STREET ESTATES,
within a short distance of the large Dock Works, now assuming
an aspect of rapid progressive importance have, in the manner
in which it has been finally decided on treeing them, both as to
their connexion with the Agricultural Districts, and the scene
of business in the Great Floating Basin and auxiliary Docks,
secured to that property a permanent character and value that
cannot be prejudiced.
The Land contiguous to the New Market forms the entire
N.W. Boundary to that Building, fronting Hamilton-street,
and abutting Market-street, the latter of which it is decided to
widen to a corresponding width of 20 yards with Hamilton-street,
is divided into small desirable lots, interrupted only by side
approaches, and other accesses to the New Building.
It is almost needless to draw public attention to the rapid
growth of Birkenhead, or to the Great Works in progress and
prospect, to which, in a degree, may be attributed as the active
agent, in combination with the natural resources and commer-
cial and rural position of the district, its rapid increase.
• The rural and commercial sections of the Town have been
distinctly and judiciously defined. The Park is a gift to the
Inhabitants, dedicated in perpetuity to the Town • and while
this noble public work engaged the attention of die Commis-
sioners, it was happily combined with the consideration of
affording the superior and middle classes among the Merchants
of Liverpool and Birkenhead an opportunity, at a compara-
tively trifling cost, of establishing themselves in a rural district,
at an easy stage from their scenes of business, combining the
features of a Country Residence and Park Range, with the
comfort and safety of efficient lighting and watching regula-
tions. This wise provision for the public interest can but meet
with the eminent success it deserves.

"To Mr. Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London.
"SIR,—I feel it a duty which I owe to yourself and the pub-
lic to inform you of the great benefit which I have derived by
taking Blair't Gout and Rheumatic Pills. During several years
I was frequently laid up by attacks of gout, being unable to at-
tend to business for months at a time. I had often been ad-
vised to try Blair's Pills, but it was not until a friend pressed
them upon me that I was induced to take them, and from which
I found speedy relief. This is several years ago, but I continue
to take them whenever an attack comes on, and am thereby
enabled quickly to resume my busines.
"I am, sir, your obedient servant
" SAMUEL Drxox."
The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of
this valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with out,
rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints,
speedy and certain relief.
Among the many discoveries that characterise the present
age, none have contributed so much to the comfort and ease of
the community, nor conferred such a boon upon suffering hu-
manity, as the important discovery of BLAIR'S OMIT- and
RHEUMATIC PILLS, the efficacy of which has been tested by
the approval and recommendation of many of the greatest men
of our day. They are effective for gout and rheumatism in all
its various forms, including sciatica, lumbago, pains in the
head and face, frequently treated as tooth-ache, &c. They re-
quire neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and in-
variably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or
other vital part.
