DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT HARPENDEN.
Harpenden, June 16th. ISSI.
Gentlemen,—l have great pleasure in adding my testimonrl
to the value of your Fireproof Safes. Last Monday niebt Inge
house, warehouse, and premises were unfortunately burnadV
down. The fire raged very fearfully for about two boarrit.;
and, owing to the great scarcity of water, the whole of !art
premises and stock were consumed. The safe I purchased cry
you had a most severe test, in consequence of a barrel of
brimstone standitig close to it, and melting with the heat of
the fire, the burnieg lava running all over and under the safe`
which greatly added to the intensity of the heat. It remaine&
in that position about four hours, and when with great cliffs*.
culty it was got out of the fire and opened, I found my bookst
and papers all uninjured.
You are at liberty to make what use you please of this irt,a,
formation.—l am, gentlemen, yours respectfully,_.

THE LAW COURTS AND ST. GEORGE'W
HALL.
The Inauguration of St. George's Hall, and the universalk-
admiration which it has elicited as a work of consummator,
architectural magnificence and public utility, forcibly remind:az
us of the obligations and the respect we owe to the genius andr,
the efforts of its lamented author, the late H. L. ELNIES,
We should feel the obligations the more sensibly from tba.-.
conviction that those efforts in our favour were amongst thee.%
proximate causes of his premature death; and, from the fact.:
that his surviving Widow and son have been Iloreby sublecpari-
to pecuniary privations and embarrassments, Wlnch We arir-:.
generity bound to mitigate by every means in our powers..
A committee has, therefore, been composed to carry out thiest•
expression, in which it is confidently believed every indt....-
vidnal in our community will warmly participate, by thaw_
will relieve Mrs. Elmer from thosot,

his meritorious labour. Still, he neglected none of the duties',
of a son, 9 husband, and a father. The prudent insurance ofr-
his life in the Sun Office, was unhappily vitiated by his veiny-
search of health in Jamaica, and his death there in 1847, ofc,
which a small sum only was recovered by the liberality of the',
directors of that institution.
