The principle of this Company is that of attaching all
Importers and Exporters,by a Division of the Profits among
them, after Payment of the Dividends, thus creating a com-
munity of Interests between the Shippers and Shareholders,
a principle which will best guarantee to its Proprietors a
certainty of their Dividends, and to Shippers of all descrip-
tions of 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.
Further information given at the Company's Office, 24,

RECENT events have awakened so general a feeling of
the momentous importance of securing a protection from
fire to Deeds, Records, M.SS., Books and Papers of Ac-
compt, Cash, Gunpowder, and all combustible materials,
that THOS. MILNER and SON feel excused in again in-
viting public notice to their Patent Fire-resisting Deposito-
ries. Having submitted their one-chambered Boxes, of one
inch in thickness, to severe trials in the principal towns, they
have received from the authorities of each the most satisfac-
tory certificates of their efficiency for ordinary casualties;
and being confirmed in opinion by a long course of experi-
ment, 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 investigation 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 dithensions, whilst their
comparatively moderate cost renders them extensively avail-
able.

The certificate of the satisfactory trial of their Boxes in
Liverpool bears the signatures of the following Gentlemen,
to whom permission of reference is kindly given
,
THOMAS BOLTON. Esq., (ex-Mayor,)
JOHN SHAW LEIGH, Esq., (the Mayor,)
Sir THOMAS BRANCKER,
BARTHOLOMEW PRESCOT, Esq.,
L. GRAHAM, Esq.,
R. FRODSHAM, Esq.,
WM. STOCK, Esq.,
S. WOODS, jun., Esq.
The more recent one below will be interesting to Ship-
owners and Builders, Gunpowder-dealers, &c., and is further
confirmatory of the capabilities of the principle:—
Trial of Milner's Patent Fire-Resisting Principle, as a
Protection of Gunpowder from Fire.
Liverpool. June 20th, 1842.
We have this day witnessed the trial of one of Miner's
Patent Fire-proof Double-celled Gunpowder Magazines, of
twelve inches external, and six inches Internal diameter and
height, filled with highly combustible materials, papers, and
a packet of Gunpowder.
The same was placed in the centre of a fire consisting of
five to six cwt. of coal and a quantity of wood, and remained
therein upwards of three hours, during two-thirds of which
time the magazine was surrounded by a complete furnace of
intense heat.
Neither the inner magazine nor its contents were at all
injured by the fire, nor did they evince any signs of the se-
vere ordeal to which they had been exposed, beyond being
pervaded to the very centre with steam from the alkaline
solution, contained in tubes embedded in the nonconductor
occupying the chamber of each cell.
In proof of the intense heat of the fire. the wood was
wholly consumed, the entire quantity of coal converted into
coke, and the bricks_ upon which the fire was made were
taken out red hot.

to secure for it the approbation of the Faculty.

CAUTION.—HALL'S PATENT STARCH.
MR. LAWRENCE HALL begs to acknowledge the
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
upon them under the various denominations of " BEST
PATENT STARCH," " BEST WHITE PATENT STARCH,"
" PATENT GLAZED STARCH," " SATIN-FACED STARCH,"
" SUPERIOR PATENT STARCH," &C. &c. These invariably
disappoint the consumer, and greatly injure him (the only
Patentee) by an inferior article being imposed on them as
his make; and he begs further to caution them against pur-
chasing an article now offering for Sale, which, being made
from Potatoes, is in the form of powder, and may thus be
distinguished from xis PATENT STARCH. Every consumer
knows that Starch made from Potatoes is of very inferior
strength, and will not retain its stiffening qualities when
exposed to the atmosphere.
It is a fact well known, that it was a few years after Mr.
HALL twit out a Patent for his invention before he brought
the article to the perfection for general use to which it has
now attained ; and it is better known still, that all the imita-
tors have utterly failed in making a Starch at all similar or
equal to HALL'S Patent Starch, other makers being ignorant
of his present mode of preparing it, and if such were not the
case, their premises and situation would not be suitable.
Purchasers of Starch are therefore particularly requested not
to be deceived by a spurious article, and they are respectfully
requestei to ask for
HALL'S IMPROVED PATENT STARCH.
No other Makers of Starch ever had a Patent for it.

ANECDOTE or GARIZICE.—In 1759 Dr. Hill wrote a
pamphlet, entitled " To I)avd Garrick, Esq., the humble
Petition of I, in behalf of Herself and Sister ;" the purport
of which was to charge Mr. G. with mispronouncing some
words including the letter I, as farm, vurtue, &c. The fol-
lowing answer was returned to Dr. 11. by Mr. Garrick :
" If 'tis true, as you say, that i've injured a letter,
I'll change all my notes soon, and I hope for the better.
May the just rights of letters, as well as of men,
Hereafter be fixed by the tongue and the per !
Most devoutly I wish they may both have their due,
And that /may never be mistaken for U."

EARLY RISING.—In the will of the late Mr S rjeant o
the borough of Leicester, is the following singuia ' '
arclause:—.
" As my nephews are fond of indulging themselves in bed in
a morning, and as I wish them to prove to the satisfaction of
my executors that they have got out of bed in the morning,
and either employed themselves in business or taken exer,ise
in the open air, from live o'clock till eight every morning
from the sth April to the 10th October, being three hours
each day ; and from seven o'clock till nine hi the morning,
from the 10th October to the sth April, being two hours
every morning, this to be done for some years, during the
first seven years to the satisfaction of my executors, who may
excuse them in cases of illness, but the task must be made up
when they are well ; and if they will not do this they shall
uct receive any share of my property.
