All Persons who visited the Crystal Palace during the Great

sufficient to state that the Premium was awarded for American

Mr. EDMONDS, in soliciting the inspection of the Public,
begs to draw attention to the fact, that his resources, and
nine years'experience, must ensure to his patrons First-class
Portraits, at the lowest Prices, finished in half the time that
they can be obtained in any house in town.
Any person visiting the Gallery will be immediately con•
vinced that all Portraits shown WERE TA KEN ON THE PRE-

having been purchased and others imported, for the express
purpose of being exhibited at the doors.
Mr. E. can vouch for the above, and deems it wise to caution
the Public against such impositions. _

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT HARPENDEN.
Harpenden, June 1694.1.854
_

Gentlemen,—l have great pleasu're 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 bourn.
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
brimstone standing close to it, and melting with the beat
the fire, the burning lava running all over and under the safer„
which greatly added to the intensity of the heat. It remained
in that position about four hours, and when with erest 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. WALKEN.

iron door of our wall repository by means of gunpowder, its
which was placed the Miners' 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 Milner!,
Holdfast Safe, of which we have had such convincing proof.—
