FINE PLANTATION CEYLON COFFEE,

1.9. 2d. per lb

ROYAL BANK BUILDINGS.
During the last few years more attention has been
shown to the cultivation of the Coffee Plant in the Island of
Ceylon, which has caused a considerable increase in the pro-
duction, and a very great improvement in the quality.

The Bord of Customs returns now clearly show that more
than two-thirds of all. the Coffees consumed in England are
the production of Ceylon, and are chiefly sold to the Con-
sumers in this country under a different character, and at
much higher prices than Is. 2d. per lb.
Our observations respecting this class of Coffee may lead
some Family Purchasers to think that we recommend cheap-
ness and disregard quality; but our great aim is to select
carefully such as must please the customers, the price being
fixed•so as to insure an increasing demand.
Families who study economy in household expenditure will
find that, owing to the reasonable Price of this Coffee, they

can afford to use it more freely.
i We recommend Coffee in the berry, as it will befoundfresher
ground as wanted, but those who have not the proper conve-
nience for grinding may rest assured of obtaining Pure
Ground Coffee at this Establishment, in Canisters or otherwise.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT HARPENDEN.
Harpenden, June 16th, 1854

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 o
you had a most severe test, in consequence of a barrel of
briinstone 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,.

UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO BROW-UP MILNERS
" HOLDFAST" SAFE, AT BRISTOL.
Bridge-parade, Bristol, August sth, 1854.
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, in
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 tea-
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,
F. and J. AMORY.
