DESTRUCTIVE FIRE_ AT HARPENDEN

Harpenden, Juneaict, issf.
Gentlemen,—l have great pleasure in adding my testimony.
to the value of your Fireproof Safes. Last Monday night my
house, warehouse, and premises were unfortunately burned
down. The fire raged very fearfully for about two hours,
and, owing to the great scarcity
,of water, the whole of my
premises and stock were consumed. The safe I purchased cp
you bad a most severe test, in consequence of a barrel of
brimstone standing close to it, and melting with the heat o
the fire, the burning lava running all over and under the safe,
which greatly added to the intensity of the heat. It remained
in that position about four hours, and when with great diffi-
culty it was got out of the fire and opened, I found my books
and papers all uninjured.
You are at liberty to make what use you please of this, in-
formation.—l am, gentlemen, yours respectfully,

WM. Messrs. Thos. Milner and Son, 47A, Moorgate-stVV-ALKEE.

Gentlemen,—We have to inform you that last night our
premises were entered by burglars, who blew open the strong
iron door of our wall repository. by means of gunpowder, its
which was placed the Milners' Patent Holdfast Safe you re-
cently supplied us with; this they got out and attempted to
blow open in the same manner, but without success. They
were well suppplied with picklocks, crowbars, &c., which are
now in possession of the police, but the safe was too strong
for all their efforts. We have much pleasure in bearing tes-
timony to the immense strength and security of Milners
Holdfast Safe, of which we have had such convincing proof.—
We are, gentlemen, your obedient servants,

the extreme measure which the enemy adopted sof

with the oliject of silencing them more or less, of occupy-

giving thus to our army material as well as moral

" To•day, the 18th, I have only time to give a

"I subjoin to this sketch a list of the men killed and
wounded on board of each ship. Without delay I shall
send you a detailed report upon all the phases of the
attack, and in reference to the part, more or less active,
which each ship took in it.

"At the commencement of the affair the enthusiasm
was extreme. During the combat the tenacity of every
one was not less so. Before commencing the fire I sig-
nalled to the squadron 'France has her eyes upon you,'

POLICIES IN THIS OFFICE ARE INDISPUTABLE, EXCEPT
IN CASES OF FRAUD.
Persons who have been seen by a Medical Officer of the
society are not required to appear before the Directors.
" Free Policies are issued at a small increased rate of pre-
mium, which remain in force although the Life assured may
go to any part of the world.
Policies do not become void by the Life assured going be-
yond the prescribed limits—so far as regards the interest of
third parties—provided they pay the additional premium so
soon as the fact comes to their knowledge.
Parties assuring within six months of their last birthday
are allowed a proportionate diminution in the premium.
The Tables are especially favourable to young and middle-
aged lives, and the limits allowed to the assured, without
extra charge, are unusually extensive.

Policies becoming claims between the periods of dilision
are entitled to a bonus, in addition to that previously de-
clared. _ _

No charge is made for policy stamps,

. -
Eighty per cent. of the profits are divided.at the end of
every five years among the assured. At the first division, to
the end of ISI9, the addition to the amount assured averaged
above 50 per cent. on the premiums paid.

CATTLE

OCT. 16.—We have had a good supply of cattle at this

GREAT FIRE IN BELFAST.
"Messrs. MUSORAVE, BROTISERS.—GENTLEMEN,—AL. your request, I beg to state, for the information of the public,
that the only property saved from the late fire, in the premises of Thomas S. Major and Co., was that contained in one of
Miners' Patent Safes. From the intense nature of toe fire, and the length of time the Safe was exposed to the action of the
'sines, I was fully convinced of the destruction of the books andipapers it contained ; and feel very great pleasure in testify-
&g to this extraordinary instance of their preservation. I'may add, that the Safe was placed on the third story, without any
Wrotection, where it remained tiii the door was burnt around it, when it fell to the room beneath, the floor of which was like-
IlfiSoAlestroyed by the fire.—Yours, truly, "JAMES S. HUNTER,

aafevre bought from you some time since; and, although they evidently had recourse to all the usual appliances of accom-
Yplitited thieves, and ultimately to gunpowder in abundance, we are glad to say with no other effect than to injure the lock—
liteopening of the Safe they found quite impracticable.
• We are happy to be enabled to express our unqualified approbation of the Safe ; we believe it is impregnable to thieves.
