" Gentlemen,:—At the cala ous tire yesterday morning, by
which our premises, and s •of oil, tallow, &c., were totally
destroyed, our books w e preserved in the Milner's Fireproof
Safe, purchased fro you. We have great pleasure in thus
bearing testimon the great efficiency of these Safes.

This Safe s most severely tested; the brass knob and brass

"Glasgow, 10th February, 1849.

The books and pa-peri which we haa 'in Your
Fire-resisting Safe, which was subjected to a most intense heat
for several hours at the late fire in Gordon-street, on Thursday
last, were wholly preserved—the property saved being of ex-
treme importance to us. We have, therefore, great pleasure
in communicating this fact, deeming your Safes invaluable as
a protection against fire, and an invention with which the pub-
lic cannot be too well acquainted.—We are. gentlemen, your
obedient servants, _ _ " KER, DOERIYG, and CC."

severing violence with which the robbers have worked at the
door and back of the Safe (both of which are beaten in and cut
through the outer plates in numerous places), the lock and
bolts remained true, and saved the contents. You may send
us another Milner's Holdfast Safe, No. 6.

" Gentlemen,—ln the late lire in Market-Street, which en-

In the numerous accidental fires and experimental tests
which Milner's Safes have been exposed to, every description

of safe in use—fireproof (so coma) otilerwisu—Ha,,
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;
including the strongest wrought-iron safes and closets in the
world, lined with their unequalled fire-resisting chambers.
Out of upwards of 20,000 'of their safes in use amongst the
manufacturing and commercial houses in Great Britain—the
dais best .ablel to appreciate their value—numerous cases of
severe.. trial in accidental fires have occurred, from which
Thomas Stilner 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

''' S. B. Blackaller's Ship Chandlery Store, Sperling-
street, Liverpool : a strong and fierce fire; safe most severely
Lurnt outside; contents unsinged.

Fire at Messrs. J. and W. Walker's, the extensive builders.
Birkenhead: buildings entirely ^lotted% everything burnt in
them, including the contents of large iron safe and drawers,
standing beside Milner's; the contents of Milner's uninjured,
and in use now.

Fire at Messrs. Garniss and Co.'s, Park-lane : a very strong
fire; again the contents of Milner's Safe the only things caved
on the Premises.

•
Fire at Plimsaul Brothers, of Plymouth : a very extensive
and destructive hre; a large iron safe, covered with brickwork,
with double iron doors, burnt out; Milner's entirely preser-
ving its contents.
Fire in Queen-street, Glasgow: a great number of safes and
closets burnt out ; no books saved throughout the buildings
excepting Messrs. S. R. and Thomas Brown's, in Milner's
Safe.

FOREIGN AND COLONIAL.

ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA.

We received on Sunday, by the arrival in the harbour.
of the royal mail steam-ship America, Neil Shannon,
commander, letters and papers from New York of the
11th, and telegraph advices and Halifax to the 13th, in-
stant inclusive. _ _

The America brought fifty passengers, specie to the
value of about £43.000 sterling, and the usual malls.

„,,
The royal mail steam-ship Asia, Judkins, commander,
arrived at Halifax at 9.50 on the morning of the 9th in-
stant, and at New York at 10.50 on the morning of the
11th; having completed her run out in about 10 days 23
hours, allowing for difference of time and the detention
at Halifax. Off the coast the Asia encountered in all its
force the hurricane which swept over Halifax on the Sth,
a circumstance which in some degree prolonged her very
rapid passage.
The royal mail steam-ship Cambria, was spoken by the
America at 11.40 p.m., on Saturday, nine hours' sail
from Tory Island.
Our advices by the Atlantic advised us that the House
of Represeteatives had sanctioned the Texan Boundary
and Territorial Government of New Mexico Bills. We
now learn that, on the 7th instant, the approval of
that body was also extended to the Senate's measures for
the admission of California and the establishment of Utah
as a territory ; by votes, on the first, of IA t 0.56, and; on
the second, of 97 to SO. Several attempts were made to
attach the Wilmot proviso to the bills, but the hawse re-
fused to coincide, and the bills passed intact. Our
accounts add, that, on the 10th instant, the'Senate ad-
mitted into its rank Mesrs. Fremont and Gwinn, the first
Senators representing the free State of California in the
Central Legislature of the American Federation, and that
Congress has decided to adjourn on Monday next. the
30th,of September. On the 10th instant the Pr sident
signed the whole of the measures alluded to. From a
New York contemporary we extract the following brief
epitome of the bills :—” The bill relating to New Mexico
provides for the payment of ten millions of dollars to

Texas as a c

- .
pensation for surrendering her cl

portion of the territory, five millions of•which are to ise
applied to the payment of the public debt at Texas.
New Mexico, including the territory acquired from
Mexico, within the prescribed 'boundaries, is made a ter-
ritory of the United States, with the usual officers and
courts. The territory acquired by the United States
be-
tween New Mexico and California is made another regq!ar

territory, called Utah. These territori
into the United States with no provision concern

The following notice of the Nightingale's reception and
singing at the first rehearsal it taken from the same
paper : _ _

- -
" Mr. Benedict, before commencing the rehearsal, briefly ad-
dressed the orchestra, and said he was happy to meet them
there for the first time, and he hoped he would have the plea-
sure of meeting them often in the same place. Then the sianat
being given, the hand opened with his grand overture to °rile
Crusaders,' a magnificent composition. in which the idea that
runs through the opera is beautifully carried out. The orches-
tra did it ample justice, and Mr. Benedict expressed his entire
satisfaction, while Mdlle. Lind clapped her hands vehemently.
The orchestra comprises the first musical talent in thecountry.
Then the Nightingale descended trom the gallery and made her
appearance on the stage, when she was received with an enthu-
siastic burst of applause from the orchestra and from the few
spectators who were permitted to be present. She looked pale,
which was, no doubt, the effect of the inspiration that was
upon her, for her whole soul seemed filled with but the one
idea ; and when she laid aside her bonnet, and took up the
music, she evidently laboured under the deepest excitement.
yet of that 'lofty kind that is regulated and controlled by a
sound judgment. Every eye was intent limn her, and breath-
less stillness pervaded the building till the first note of her
gloriousvoice burst upon the 'audience in the Caste Dive, and
from that moment she held them enchained. No description
can fully pourtray theustonishment that sat on every -counte-
nance as she poured forth .such a volume of song as was neviv,
perhaps, heard from mortal lips before—powerful enough to
fill a building thrice the size—and thrilling every *bre of The
listener, while it;:wassoft as the warbling of the skvlailt. In
fact, her voice is more like that of a bird than any we laveever
