LIVERPOOL

T RICHMOND respectfully announces to his
0 • Friends and the Public, that he has added to his
Woollen-Drapery and Tailoring Business a
READY-MADE CLOTHING DEPARTMENT,
which is now replete with Garments of every description.
The quality of the various Fabrics for which this Establish-
mentetisi..ebenry_sti has long been distinguished is full stained in the
various Garments now offered, they ' g made by first-rate
Workmen on the Premises, an rT IN THE BEST STYLE,
the Proprietor being determi to offer nothing but warranted
articles, and to exclude ruinously low-priced and inferior
Garments, so much ed off, disreputable to the dealer, inju-
rious to the oper e, and, in reality, generally very costly to
the wearer.

The system-Cif small profits and quick returns will be adopted
alike in this department as in the others.
An Inspection will amply repay Economists.
No Abatement or Discount allowed.
THE ORDER DEPARTMENT
is also replete with EVERY NOVELTY OF THE SEASON.
The Woollen Trade is conducted as usual: the present Stock
is more extensive, and combines a greater variety than hereto-
fore.

EXTRAORDINARY and SUCCESSFUL RESIST-
ANCE to ROBBERS of MILNER'S "HOLDFAST"
and FIRE RESISTING SAFE.

THE STRONGEST SAFEGUARD EXTA GAINST
ROBBERY AND

Early last year, Messrs. Wm. W n and Co., (late Watson
Brothers,) applied to Thos. 11 er and Son, to construct for
them one of their strong ast Safes or Chests, to contain,
111,000 dol'ars in silver, its safe conveyance over the moun-
tains from the mine ampico. The Gentleman writing for
the Safe was at time lying confined to his bed from a
bullet and tw ayonet wounds he had received in an attack of
the Mexican robbers on a valuable convoy, in which the Safe
he then used was broken up and plundered of a large amount
of specie. The Safe and Wagon constructed for it were ex-
hibited at our works, and to several. Liverpool houses, and met
with great approval from several of our engineers and prac-
tical men, and doubtless will be in the recollection of the
Public, andi we have great pleasure in announcing that we have
received the following polite and unsolicited note from Mr.
Watson, who has since given us permission to puhlish it.
"Derby Buildings, 20th September, 1850.
"Mr. W:-TSON presents his compliments to Mr. MILNER,
and has to communicate to him the following extract of a letter,
dated the 11th ultimo. from his partner, at Tampico :
"The Iron Waggon and Safe, (ex Josephine,) with Sixty Bars
of Silver, was attacked by Forty-five Robbers, between Catore
and San Luis Potosi. and they worked twelve hours to open the
Chest, and did not succeed; meantime assistance came from
San Luis Potosi.

"This is very satisfactory, and does you credit, and will, no
doubt, lead to further orders."
The whole of the outside of this Safe was half-inch wrought-
iron, proof against sledge-hammers, chisels, or any other vio-
lence, and well it did its duty. We have at this time a number
of large Banker's and Merchant's Safes in course of construc-
tion—one for a Diamond Merchant in London—of which we
invite the attention of the Public. Our Works 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 Safe-
makers in England together—a Lancashire Workshop well
worth looking over. Its whole operations—from the cutting
up and working of the Wrought-iron Plates and Bars, from the
thickness of a half-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 arrange-
ment of their powerful Hinges, Bolts, and impregnable Locks
—altogether are well worthy of the study of the Mechanic and
the Man of Science.

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The following testimonial is another proof of the great
efficicacy of this medicine :

" 157, New Bond-street

London, October 12th, 1850.

" SIR,—In acquainting you with the great benefit which I
have experienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMA-
TIC PILLS, I feel that I am but performing -a duty to that
portion of the public who may be simile afflicted.
" About twenty years since I was attacked by Rheuma-
tic Gout in my hands and fee had previously been sub-
jected to every variety of cli e, having served in Canada in
the 19th Dragoons, and in ain, under Sir John Moore, in the
18th Hussars. I alwa procured the best medical aid, but
without obtaining essential relief, and my sufferings can
be appreciated y by those who know something of this
disease. ,

" It was dtcring one of those paroxysms, between twelve and
thirteen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAI R'S
PILLS. I lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had
taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few
days I was in perfect health.

6 From that moment whenever I feel any symptoms of the
disease approaching, I have instant recourse to this Medicine.

which tome is so valuable that were it not that the days of
magic have ceased, I should certain!y.attribnte the relief I ob-
tain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health
has not in any degree suffered, but on the contrary I believe
the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its improvement.
" I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the
result has always been of the most gratifying character.
• I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" GARRET FOSTER GILL.
" To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand, London."

For Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Sciatica, Tic-Doloreux,
Pains in the Head and Face, and all analagous complaints, it is
a sovereign remedy; and the speedy relief afforded in this in-
stance is parallel with the testimonials of the late Rev. Dr.
Blomberg, of Misperton Hall, Rector of Cripplegate, London,
and Chaplain to His. Majesty William the Fourth ; John Molard
Wheeler, Esq., of Jamaica, transmitted by his brother at
Swindon; John James Giles, Esq., Frimley, Surrey; R. Man-
dell, Esq., Coroner, Dorcaster ; Mr. Courtney, Barton, Stacey,
Hants; Mr. Cosher, Beaconsfietd ; Mr. Yates, traveller to
Messrs. Day and Martin, London; Mr. Nasmyth, 208, Picca-
dilly, London ; Mr. Dixon and Mr. Blake, Kingscliffe, North-
amptonshire ; and that extraordinary case of Lieut. Masters,
of the Veteran Batallion, Newfoundland; and many others
whose particular cases have already been published, and were
given unsolicited to assure sufferers by Gout, Rheumatism, &c.,
that speedy relief may be obtained by taking this Medicine.
The respectability of BLAIR'S PILLS rests in a great degree
upon the truth of its testimonials, and the strictest inquiry is
solicited into all that has been published.
