violence, and well it did its duty.

We have at this time a number of large Banker's and Mer-
chant's Safes in course of coustruetion—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
machinery), than all the Safemakers in England together—a
such as , Lancashire Workshop well worth looking over. Its whole

operations—from the cutting up and working of the Wrought-
iron Plates and Bars, from the tickneas of =half-a-crown to that
of its diameter, to the building' up of these superb and massive
Safes—the filling of their chambers with the Fire-resisting
Materials—the arrangement of their powerful Hinges, Bolts,
and impregnable Locks—altogether are well worthy the study
of the mechanic and the man of science.

The Fre-resisting reputation of Alilner's Safes is founded
upon ezperiments of scientific men, ano facts; by the former
their superiority to others has been proved; and something
better than the merely negative fame of never having been
tried is elicited from the following among hundreds of in-
