a. Principle which will best guarantee to its Proprietors—
tions
crtaiof nt their Dividends, and to Shippers of all descrip-
Goods and Live Stock the having a well-supported
Establishment of first-class Steamers, and the lowest rate of
freight compatible with due attention to their maintenance.

CAUTION.—HALL'S PATENT STARCH.
I\lR. LAWRENCE HALL begs to acknowledge that
liberal patronage he has received for so many years,
and deems it a duty to himself and the public to guard them
against the many spurious imitations which are daily foisted
ltPon them under the various denominations of BEST
PATENT STARCH," " BEST WHITE PATENT STARCH,"
4, PATENT GLAZED STARCH," " SATIN-FACED STARCH,"
SUPERIOR PATENT STARCH," &c. &c. These invariably
disappoint the consumer, and greatly injure him (the only
gentee) by an inferior article being imposed on them as
u,la make ; and he begs further to caution them against pur-
;"aaing an article now offering for Sale, which, being made
distinguished
Potatoes, is in the form of powder, and may thus be
knows
from HIS PATENT STARCH. Every consumer
alms that Starch made from Potatoes is of very inferior
strength, and will not retain its stiffening qualities when
exposed to the atmosphere.
Wis a fact well known, that it was a few years after Mr.
ALLj took out a Patent for his invention before lie brought
nue article to the perfection for general use to which it has
t °`4l attained ; and it is better known still, that all the imita-
tors have utterly failed in making a Starch at all similar or
11 a 1 to HALL'S Pau, i.t Starch, other makers being ignorant
of his present mode of preparing it, and if such were not the
Purchasers
their premises and situation would not be suitab!e.
L'urchasers of Starch are therefore particularly requested not
`'" be deceived by a spurious article, and they are respectfully
requested to ask for .

IMPROVED PATENT STARCH.
No other Makers of Starch ever had a Patent for it.

TO THE LADIES

lt/f RS. CUTTER directs the attention of the Ladies to her
1.V.1 Improved System of STAY-MAKING, which com-
bines a fashionable and elegant Fit with the removal of that
injurious Pressure so justly complained of by the Faculty.
Mrs. C. addresses Mothers on the great importance of
having well-constructed Stays far growing Girls. It is a ge-
nerally admitted fact, that the neglect of this caution, com-
bined with tight lacing, has, in many instances, predisposed
growing girls to diseases of the Spine and Lungs, from which
no medical skill could, in after life, relieve them. _ _

For the convenience of those Ladies who prefer Mrs. Cut-
ter's fitting them, she will be in attendance from Eleven to

Mrs. 6.'s Millinery Department is replete with an exten-

The 1

The rules for the distribution of the-Surplus Funds or
Profits in this Society are framed on the most equitable prin-
ciples ; the Assured participating therein according to
amount and endurance of their respective Policies. By the
laws of the Society, regulating the distribution of the Sur-
plus Funds, Additions fall to be made to the Policies at each
period of Investigation, in proportion to the amount assured,
and the number of annual premiums previously paid ; and a
Contingent Prospective Addition is also declared to meet the
case of persons dying between two periods of investigation,
such Contingent Prospective Addition being calculated in
proportion to the number of annual premiums paid during
the interval, not only on the Sum Assured, but also on the
Vested Additions previously declared. Parties dying within
five years after the date of their Assurances receive no Addi-
tions, any order previously made for Additions to such Poli-
cies becoming thereby vacated ; but in the event of the par-
ties surviving the period of five years, the Additions previ-
ously declared take full effect from the date of the Policy.
The next Periodical Investigation takes place on the Ist of
January, 1846.
On application, Parties may convert their Bonus Additions
into an equivalent Deduction from their future annual Pre-
miums, or may receive the value of their Additions in ready
Money.
The Directors are empowered to grant Loans to Members,
on the security of their Policies, to the extent of nine-tenths
of their value at the time, provided such proportion of the
value shall not be less than £5O.

Intending Assurers may, from the above, satisfy them-
selves, that independently of this Society's large Accumula-
ted Fund and Annual revenue, and other advantages neces-
sarily arising from its long, steady, and extensive business,
the Principles on which it is Founded and Conducted are of

FAMILY HAIR OIL,

Patronised by Persons of Distinction,' and held in the

highest estimation at the Toilet,

It renovates, and produces the finest lustre, even when the
Hair is on the decline or turning gray. It is more nutritious
than other Oils used for the same purpose. Its great utility
renders it of national importance. The testimonials and
kind recommendations of many distinguished personages in
Parliament remove any doubts of its efficacy, and it is the
first and only article for similar use ever sanctioned by Go-
vernment. The increasing demand will meet every attention.
The VEGETABLE SOAP is also highly esteemed for its
emollient properties, and has an equal claim to preference,
in preventing the hands chopping, &c. Sold at Is. per
square and 10s. per dozen.—Family Oil, in bottles for the
toilet, 7s. 6d. and 10s. ; and pot boxes at 25., 3s. 6d., and

great utility of the Family Oil was satisfactorily
proved on the 10th of April, 1830, in Parliament, when Mr.
Goulburn, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, was pleased to
grant the protection sought by the Proprietor.
Orders, addressed to the Proprietor, No. 6, Parker-street
Liverpool, will be duly attended to.
Persons prejudiced against advertised Hair Oils may be
satisfied of the efficacy of the above. The Proprietor, who
has used it 30 years, has experienced no decline, but rather
an improvement, in his Hair.

Ira ECENT events have awakened so general a feeling of
Pt, the momentous importance of securing a protection
from fire to Deeds, Records, MSS., Books and Papers of
Accompt, Cash, Gunpowder, and all Combustible Materials,
that THOMAS MILNER and SON feel excused in again
inviting public notice to their PATENT FIRE RESISTING
DEPOSITORI ES. Having submitted their one-chambered
f one inch in thickness, to severe trials in the prin-
ye received from the authorities of each

the most satisfactory certificates of their efficiency for ordi-
nary casualties ; and, being confirmed in their opinion by a
ong course of experiment, that, under suitable modification
of chambers and thickness of 'boxes, the peculiar principle
of their Patent is capable of affording security under the
severest ordeal likely to occur in calamities of the kind, they
respectfully solicit the consideration of gentlemen interested
in mechanical science to the subject generally. and investiga-
tion into the pretensions of the various means of security in
use, their own amongst the rest.
M. and S. are prepared to submit their manufactures to
public trial with any others of equal dimensions, whilst their
comparatively moderate cost renders them extensively avail-
able

A trial of Milner's Patent Fire Resisting Safes and Boxes
having been announced by cards, issued to 50(1 of the scien-
tific and principal gentlemen of Dublin, which was adjourned
from the Royal Dublin Society's premises, on account of
alterations in progress thereon, took place at the Rotund°
Gardens, October i th, 1842. The fire, consisting of half a
ton of coals, and fifty to sixty feet of wood and kindling, was
lighted at one o'clock, with a box and powder safe, filled
with papers, &c., in the centre. The whole were examined
by the gentlemen present, whose signatures on the certificate
were placed inside.
Sir John Kingston James kindly conducted the proceed-
ngs, and locked the box. At two o'clock, at Dr. Meyler's
suggestion, a large sugar hogshead, with both ends knocked
out, was placed over the top of the fire, which, quickly ig-
niting, caused a very fierce draught, and produced intense
heat on the tops of the boxes, which were seen through the
opening crevices of the burning cask most severely exposed.
A little before three o'clock, Dr. Meyler, with whom the
keys had been left by Sir John Kingston James, opened the
box, and its contents, including several parchments with seals
attached, were found to be perfectly sate. At half-past four
o'clock the Powder Safe was taken out and opened, and the
inner cell, with its contents, were still unaffected by the heat.
It was again replaced in the fire of red coke, and kept in
until six p.m. ; when taken out, after five hours' trial. al-
though the outer cell was red hot, the inner one and contents,
on being opened, in the presence of Joshua Abel, Esq.. H.
Richardson, Esq., M.D., Messrs. Thosand, Gardiner,
Trouton, &c., were still as fresh and perfect as when placed
in the fire. We declare our satisfaction with the result of
these experiments, and our confidence in the perfect efficiency
of this principle for the preservation of all combustible ma-
terials in ordinary fires.

Messrs. Thos. Milner & Son,
Office, Commercial-buildings. Oct. 21, 1842.
Gentlemen,—At the late fire which consumed my ware-
houses, I regret to inform you that my Deeds, Papers, and
Account Books, which were deposited in two Iron Safes,
made by of Dublin, were completely reduced to ashes,
The inconsenience and loss occasioned to me is very great.
As I have now no faith whatever in Iron Fire-proof Sates,.
(at least so styled,) I am induced to purchase your Fire-proof
Boxes which have been so strongly tested.
I am, Gentlemen, your humble servant.
• RICHARD G. HICKS.
P.S.—Please send me a No. 10, with drawers, and No. 1,
for deeds.

Ilaniburgh, 29th August, 1842.
A Public Test of MILNER and SON'S (of Liverpool) PA-
TENT FIRE-PROOF SAFETY BOXES, took place on
the Grassbroke, near the Elbe, this afternoon ;
We, the undersigned, having
.been present during the whole
time of the above, feel pleasureinl expressing our conviction
of their perfect security in all cases of casual and ordinary
fires. The Box was filled with papers, circulars
old ledgers ; in addition to which, Mr. Wendel; books, and
repre-
sentative of the patentees, placed his watch inside' the ;
the whole
were examined by the gentlemen present, and gere locked
down by " Hernn H. C. Bleeker, 68, Adiniralitiitistrasse."
The fire was composed of upwards of seven cwt. of coal, and
a considerable quantity of wood, oaken slabs, and other com-
bustibles, solely under the superintendence of Mr. Thomp-
son, Manager of the Globe Foundry Iron Works, The Boa
was placed in the fire, and there allowed w remain for one hour
and a half, during the chief of which time it was of a while
heat. Much curiosity was excited respecting the watch ;
but on opening the box, it was perfectly safe, and going a
true as when deposited.—thewhole contents were also pie-
served, minding he document on which this certificate is
written.
