CIIUBB'S PATENT FIREPROOF WROUGHT-
IRON SAFES, CHESTS, BOXES, & DOORS.

THESE Depositories afford complete security to
valuable Property from Depredation or Fire.
They are made in the best manner, and being entirely of
Wrought-iron, combined with effective and well-proved non-
conductors of heat, and secured by Curse's Patent Detector
Locks, will resist Intense Heat, the falling of timbers and
brickwork in case of Fire, or the skill and force of the most
determined burglar. Their Fireproof qualities are well known,
and have been subjected to frequent severs tests.
No instance has been found where they have been in Fires in
which the contents were injured. Mr. Braidwood, Superinten-
dent of the London Fire Brigade, stated, a few months since,
in a discussion before the " Institution of Civil Engineers,"
.nedbheeanve i n
given iise in
complete various
that in every Fire in which he had
.found Safes of Chubb's
manufacture, the Books and Papers were Preserved, and that
in nearly all cases where others were used their contents were
destroyed. No better testimonial wf their safety can be required
partstan tobfet the worldanyforusa snedvse r‘avlblsh years b a;
satisfaction.

CHUBB'S PATENT DETECTOR LOCKS are made for
every purpose to which a Lock can be applied. They afford
perfect security, and are extremely simple and durable. They
have been characterised by the Comptroller of her Majesty's
Stationery Office, J. R. M'Culloch, Esq., as " the best Locks
made," as will be seen by th• following extract from the evi-
dence taken before a recent Select Committee of the House of
Commons :—" It is allowed by everybody who knows anything
about the matter, that Chubb 's Locks are the best Locks made
now." They are consequently now used in all the Government
Offices.
CHUBB'S PATENT BAR LOCKS form a simple means of
securing the Doors of Warehouses, &c., as they possess great
strength.
CHUBB'S PATENT LATCHES, for Street Doors, Count-
ing•houses, &c., are perfectly secure against any attempts to
open them by means of false keys or picklocks. The common
Latches, and those called " Patent," in general use, afford not
the slightest safety, but may even be opened by numbers of
keys dissimilar to their own, and, as an outer door in particular
should be properly secured, CHUBB'S PATENT LATCHES
are atrongiy recommended as the most effectual means of
safety. They have neat and portable Keys, and are low in

CHUBB'S CASHBOXES and JAPANNED DEEDBOXES
are all fitted with the Detector Locks. _

A GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN
GENTLEMEN'S BOOTS.

JOHN APGIBBON,
BOOTATAKER TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT,
DEGS leave to call the attention of the Nobility and
Gentry to a great improvement effected by him in his
PATENT INSTEP STEEL SPRINGS; he has, after various
this rials, so adapted the quality, substance, form, and temper of
Patent Steel Spring to the construction of the human feet,
that no Boot yet made can compare with his for ease and com-
fort to the wearer, nor retain, like his, its beauty of form un-
impaired until completely worn. The contrast between this
last imnrovement.-tchd the commonly raised Leather Instep, or
the stiff and board-like Pegged Boot, is so great that one trial
is all J. Ai G. requires to secure patronage.

guards in the world against fire, robbery, and fraud ; 20,000 of

riority to any other others. Five of them have brought their
contents unscathed out of the ruins of large fires in Glasgow
alone this year, wherein scores of other safes have been burnt
out. Twenty-five offices were burnt out in Lincoln's Inn in
January, in one alone of which the title-deeds of thirty large
landed estates were burnt, which would all have been preserved

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-TUESDAY

Mr. Hiurr moved an address to the crown to direct that ne-
gotiations be forthwith entered into for the purpose of releasing
this country from all treaty engagements with foreign states
for maintaining armed vessels on the coast of Africa to sup-
press the traffic in slaves, supporting his views by numerous
cogent arguments. We had undertaken a task to which any
amount of force was unequal—to suppress a contraband trade
which yielded hither gains than any other trade in the world.
All experience demonstrated that no lucrative trade of this
kind was ever suppressed by coercion. Sir Josiah Child, 200
years ago, said, "he who would give a large price for any

In the Cotton market prices had fluctuated a good deal.
After the advices by the America bad been received, much
disappointment was experienced, as a material advance in
the Liverpool market was expected. Little disposition to
sell at a material decline was however manifested, though
prices slightly lowered. Mr. Stewart says in his circular
that t

le decline in the receipts at the ports are sufficient
to prove that they arise from a deficiency in the supply to

AN ADMISSION.—The Rev. Mr. Bennett, a leading
tractarian, has published a pamphlet, in winch he admits
that it is clearly probable that the reformers so worded
the articles of 1552 as purposely to comprehend both
classes,—those who held high views. of Sacramental grace,
and those who held low views:—those who leaned to
Rome, and those who leaned to Zurich. In connection
with this matter, we may mention that in 1816, when it
was proposed to eject the tract of Bradford, Bishop of
Rochester on the subject from the catalogue of the Pro-
pagation Society, the proposal was heard and decided on
by Dr. Howley, then Bishop of London ; Dr. Manners
Sutton, Archbishop of Canterbury ; Dr. Van Mildert,

afterwards Bishop of Durham; and many other reverend
persons. Thirty-four years ago, this ecclesiastical tribu-
nal heard the quertion which has been again so lately dis-
cussed, and the conclusion they arrived at was precisely
that of the Judicial Committee, guided by Dr. Sumner
•nd Dr. Musgrave The bishop's tract remains on the
iety to this day, and so remains under
)n of the whole episcopal bench.
