m E MIRROR OF THE TIME;
a Weekly Paper, published on Wednesday in London, ad-
vocates the cause of FAIR-TRADE against FREE-TRADE,
and insists upon PROTECTION TO BRITISH INDUSTRY.
Its Protective principles are based on securing the Labour, or
Wages' market of England for our own people. The MIRROR
OE THE TIME enters also into the most important question of
MONEY, showing the nature of that system and those mea-
sures which have proved so deeply injurious to-the prosperity
of England. It defends both the Manuf ring and Agricul-
tural interests, by exposing and las • the charlatans whose
stale triks have long deluded th ople. It is at once conser-
vative of our constitution character, and liberal in its
crusade against abuses. th is its great end and object; whilst
falsehood is assailed it with untiring energy and perseve-
rance, in what shape it is displayed, from the delusive
columns of the Times to the insidious promises of those who
have made use of the Brobdignagian loaf to cover the wages
of Lilliput.
The proper use of our Colonies is a subject which receives
due attention from the MIRROR OF THE TIME. These. are
considered by it as counties of Great Britain, merely separated
by water,.as Middlesex from Surrey .by the Thames. It advo-
cates a remunerative, not a destructive, Emigration. It is
firmly and pre-etninently anti-Papal.
The MIRROR OF THE TIME adds also the amusing to the
instructive, and thus pr sents a feature perfectly original in
English Journalism—a sound and healthy combination of fact
and imagination.

The atithor of "Aladdin's Letters on the Currency" will be a
constant contributor to the pages of the MIRROR OF THE
TxME.

The attention of Subscribers is repectfully invited to this
sterling and patriotic Journal, which has heralded the reaction
now taking place throughout the country, upon the failure of
the deceptive and morbid agitatorsawl the sordid trading poli-
cians who have been so long engaged in selling the birthright
of England piecemeal. _ _ _ _

The-Mialion. OF THE TIME is the cheapest Paper of a high
class ever published, its price being only Twopence.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES IN GLASGOW,

MAN-

MILNER'S " lIOLDFAST" and FIRE-RESIST-
ING SAFES are the strongest, best, and cheapest safe-
guard in the world against fire, robbery, and fraud; 20,0110 of
them keep the books, deeds, and cash of the practical men of
Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, &c., who know their supers
ority to any others. Five of them have tirought 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 in Lincoln's-inn in January,
in one alone of which the C e-deeds of thirty large landed
estates were burnt, whicl •ould all have been preserved in
Milner's Safes. From saute hundreds of certificates, the fol-
lowing is selected, as ne out of many instances in which
everything was con med in the buildings excepting what
Milner's Safe cont ed:—
." C e-street, Anderston, Glasgow, May 7, 1849.
" Gentled: ,—At the calamitous fire yesterday morning, by
which our premises, and stock of oil, tallow, &c., were totally
destroyed, our books were preserved in the Milner's Fireproof
Safe,. purchased from you. We have great pleasure in thus
bearing testimony to the great efficiency of these Safes.
" CHARLES BOYD and CO."
This Safe was most severely tested; the brass knob and brass
work about the hick were melted off.
" Glasgow, 10th February, 1849.
" Gentlemen,—The books and papers which we had in your
Fire-resisting Safe, which was subjected to a most intense heat j
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, DOERING, and e."
The outside of the above Safe was completely burnt through.
Triumphant Resistance to Robbers:
" Messrs. Thos. Milner and Son, Liverpool.
" Gentlemen,—Our Milner's Safe was attempted to 'be bro-
ken open last night ; but, notwithstanding the great and per-
severing violence with which the robbers have worked at the
door and back of the Safe (both of which are Beaten in anti 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.
" JAS. RICHARDSON and Co.
"Glasgow, 28th December, 1848."

" Manchester, August 13th, 1847.
"Gentlemen,—ln the late fire in Market-street, which en-
tirely gutted the whole block of buildings of which my ware-
house formed part, I have sincere pleasure in informing you
that my books, together with a quantity of valuable papers,
watches, &c., were preserved uninjured in one of your Fire-
resisting Safes, which I strongly recommend to the pubic.—l
am, your obedient servant,
" THOMAS HAIGH.
" Woollen Merchant, New Brown-stroet, and Market-street.
" Messrs. Milner and Son."

In the numerous accidental fires and experimental tests
which Milner's Safes have been exposed to, every description
of safe in use—fireproof (so called) or otherwise—have been
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, hued 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
class best able to appreciate their value—numerous cases of
severe trial in accidental fires have occurred, from which
Thomas Milner 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 :
Fire at Mr. J.B. Blackaller's Ship Chandlery Store, Sparliag.
street, Liverpool.: a strong and fierce fire ; safe most severely
burnt outside; contents unsinged.
Fire at Messrs. J. and W. Walker's, the extensive builders„
Birkenhead : buildings entirely gutted, 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
are; again the contents of Milner's Safe the only things saved
on the premises.
Fire at Plimsaul Brothers, of Plymouth : a very extensive
and destructive tire; a largeiron safe, covered with brickwork,
with double iron doors, burnt out ; Milner's entirely tiireser.
viag its contents.
Fire in Queen-street, Glasgow' a great number of safes And
closets burnt out; no books saved throughout the buildings
excepting Messrs. 5, R. and Thomas Brown's, in Milnees
