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—
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.

PICTURE FRAMES.
WE direct the special attention of all Persons interested
in this subject, to the FRAMES for PICTURES
Manufactured by 14l r. Bielefield. They are of papier machee ;
and the advantages they possess over the ordinary composi-
tion frames are so strong and so numerous, that they must,
inevitably, be brought into general use. First, they are
cheaper ; being about two-thirds of the cost—much less, in-
deed, where the frame is of large size ; next, they will not
in carriage ; and next, they are so much lighter in
weight, as to supply an important item in their favour to
those who are in the habit of transmitting large pictures, from
cme place to another. This remarkable " lightness' is indeed
aesirable everywhere ; for in many rooms, where the walls
are thin or aged, it is impossible to hang large pictures in the
;lama ponderous frames. To exhibitors in provincial exhibi-
tions these are no ordinary recommendations. But we refer
chiefly to the appearance of those frames, which interests the
collector as well as the artist, and, indeed, all persons who
Vora their homes with pictures or prints, be they many or
w- They look exceedingly attractive, and are in reality as
Mach so as if they had passed through the bands of the
,9_trver, and been produced at about ten times the expense.
how gilding tells with very brilliant effect; and, no matter
nrr elaborate the pattern may be, they have a clearness and
4tarPness that we have seldom or never seen obtained in
ihaPosition. Now that so many frames will be required for
,sa prints about to be issued by the several Art-Union So-
tletiea, we conceive we may convey useful information to
attsands, by recommending them to examine these frames;
the Patterns are infinitely varied ; some have been designed
"Pressly to meet those particular purposes; and their ad-
vantages are so obvious as to be at once appreciated by all by
whom they are seen.—Art Union.

li/IR. HODGSON respectfully invites the attention of
"VI the Public to his SPLENDID Establishment,
50, CHURC H -STREET,
Which is allowed to be the most extensive in Liverpool, and
excelled by few in the Metropolis; the Mart thus affording
to purchasers the best opportunity of securing
HOUSEHOLD GOODS AND EFFECTS
ON THE MOST ADVANTAGEOUS TERMS,
As every article which domestic comfort can require or
wealth command is exhibited to the visitor in infinite variety.
The Rooms are unusually lofty, giving facilities for the
display of every description of Goods. In measurement the
first Sale-room exceeds 90 feet by 20 feet, and the Anti-
room 70 feet by 17 feet, together with a spacious Warehouse

His long experience in the business he submits as a guarantee
for every attention to their interests, assuring those who may
have occasion to purchase, that the practice too frequently
adopted of procuring New Furniture, manufactured by un-
skilled artificers, is in many cases attended with an immenss
pecuniary sacrifice in the first instance, and a serious loss
eventually, from inattention to the material by the manufac-
turer.

Mr. COCKLE, SURGEON, has much pleasure in laying
before his friends and the public, Mr. ABERNETHY'S
ESTIMATION of his Antibilious Pills, extracted from a
Letter which that [gentleman addressed to him in the year
1824 :

" I have ordered the use of your Antibilious Pills in affec-
tions of the stomach, attended with considerable derange-
ment of the functions of that important organ, and connected
with a torpid state of the liver and bowels, (for to this cause,
chiefly, may be attributed the various diseases of the body,
both local and constitutional,) and I have thus had frequent
opportunities of witnessing their beneficial effects. They
greatly influence the secretion of bile, and act with certainty
and in the most effectual manner on the alimentary organs,
without occasioning pain or irritation. I consider them a
most excellent family aperient medicine, and may be taken at
all times with perfect safety."
They are prepared by Mr.JAmEs Cocxen, Surgeon Extra-
ordinary to Her Serene Highness the late LANDGRAVINE of
HESSE HOMBURG, and may be had of all respectable Medi-
cine \Tenders, in boxes, at ls. 10., 2s. 9d., and 4s. Gd.
NOTICE.
Let it he especially observed, that those Pills only are
genuine which have the name " JAMES Coexr.E, APOTHE-
CARY," in white letters, engraved on the Government Stamp.
This mark of authenticity will protect the Public against any
dangerous and deleterious imitation.

THOMAS WOODROOFE.
WM. DAVENPORT, Attorney, Liverpool.

ECENT events have awakened so general a feeling of
It the momentous importance of securing a protection
from fire to Deeds, Records, MSS., Books and Papers of
Ae,compt, Cash, Gunpowder, and all Combustible Materials,
that THOMAS MILNER and SON feel excused in again
inviting public notice to their PATENT FIRE RESISTING
DEPOSITORIES. Having submitted their one-chambered
Boxes, of one inch in thickness, to severe trials in the prin-
cipal towns, they have received from the authorities of each
the most satisfactory certificates of their efficiency for ordi-
nary casualties ; and, being confirmed in their opinion by a
ong course of experiment, 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 investiga-
tion 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 dimensions, 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. (ex-Mayor.)
Sir THOMAS BRANCKER.
BARTHOLOMEW PRESCOT, Esq.
L. GRAHAM, Esq.
R. FRODSHAM, Esq.
Wai. STOCK, Esq.
S. WOODS, jun., Esq.
In addition to the above, Milner and Son draw attention
to the following statements :
A trial of Milner's Patent Fire Resisting Safes and Boxes
having been announced by -cards, issued to 500 of the scien-
tific and principal gentlemen of Dublin, which was adjourned
from the Royal Dublin Society's premises, on account of
alterations in progress thereon, took place at the Rotundo
Gardens, October 7th, 1812. The fire, consisting of half a
ton of coals, and fifty to sixty feet of wood and kindling, was
lighted at one o'clock, with a box and powder safe, filled
with papers, &C., in the centre. The whole were examined
by the gentlemen present, whose signatures on the certificate
were placed inside.
Sir John Kingston James kindly conducted the proceed-
jugs, and locked the box. At two o'clock, at Dr. Meyler's
suggestion, a large sugar hogshead, with both ends knocked
out, was placed over the top of the fire, which, quickly ig-
niting, caused a very fierce draught, and produced intense
heat on the tops of the boxes, which were seen through the
opening crevices of the burning cask most severely exposed.
A little before three o'clock, Dr. Meyler, with whom the
keys had been left by Sir John Kingston James, opened the
box, and its contents, including several parchments with seals
attached, were found to be perfectly safe. At half-past four
o'clock the Powder Safe was taken out and opened, and the
inner cell, with its contents, were still unaffected by the heat.
It was again replaced in the fire of red coke, and kept in
until six p.m. ; when taken out, after five hours' trial, al-
though the outer cell was red hot, the inner one and contents,
on being opened, in the presence of Joshua Abel, Esq., H.
Richardson, Esq., M.D., Messrs. Thosand, Gardiner,
Trouton, &c., were still as fresh and perfect as when placed
in the fire. We declare our satisfaction with the result of
these experiments, and our confidence in the perfect efficiency
of this principle for the preservation of all combustible ma-
terials in ordinary fires.

Gentlemen,—At the late fire which consumed my ware-
houses, I regret to inform you that my Deeds, Papers, and
Account Books, which were deposited in two Iron Safes,
madeby of Dublin, were completely reduced to ashes,
The inconsenience and loss occasioned to me is very great.
As I have now no faith whatever in Iron Fire-proof Safes,
(at least so styled,) I am induced to purchase your Fire-proof
Boxes which have been so strongly tested.
I am, Gentlemen, your humble servant,
RICHARD G. HICKS.
P.S.—Please send me a No. 10, with drawers, and No. 1,
for deeds.

Hamburgh, 29th August, 1842.
A Public Test of MILNER and SON'S (of Liverpool) PA-
TENT FIRE-PROOF SAFETY BOXES, took place on
the Grassbroke, near the Elbe, this afternoon ;
We, the undersigned, having been present during the whole
time of the above, feel pleasure in expressing our conviction
of their perfect security in all cases of casual and ordinary
fires. The Box was filled with papers, circulars, books, and
old ledgers; in addition to which, Mr. Wenden, the repre-
sentative of the patentees, placed his watch inside ; the whole
were examined by the gentlemen present, and were locked
down by " Hernn H. C. Bleeker, 68, Admiralitatistrasse."
The fire was composed of upwards of seven cwt. of coal, and
a considerable quantity of wood, oaken slabs, and other com-
buttibles, solely under the superintendence of Mr. Thomp-
son, Manager of the Globe Foundry Iron Works. The Box
was placed in the fire, and there allowedto remain for one hour
and a half, during the chief of which time it was of a white
heat. Much curiosity was excited respecting the watch;
but on opening the box, it was perfectly safe, and going as
true as when deposited—the whole contents were also pre-
served, including the document on which this certificate is
written.
