GREAT FIRE IN BELFAST

"Messrs. MUSGRAVE, BROTHERS.—GENTLEMEN,—At your request, I be 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
Milners' Patent Safes. From the intensenarure of thefire, and the length of time the Safe was exposed to the action of the
flames, I was fully convinced of the destfuctiod of the books and papers it contained ; and feel very great,pleasure in testify-
ing to this, extraordinary instance of their pretervatiom I may add, that the Safe was placed on the third story, without any
Protection, where it remained till the floor was burnt arbund it, when it fell to the room beneath, the floor of which was like-
wise destroyed by the fire. —Yours, truly, "JAMES S. HUNTER,
"Executor of the late Thomas S. Major, of the Firm of Thomas S. Major and Co.

TRIUMPHANT RESISTANCE TO ROBBERS, AT MESSRS. I3UTTERWORTH AND BROOKES'S
MANCHESTER.

" SlR,—Last night our Premises were entered by burglarai who made a desperate attempt upon the Milners' Holdfast
Safe we bought from you some time since ; and, although they evidently bad recourse to all the usual appliances of accom-
plished thieves, and ultimately to gunpowder in abundance, we are glad to say with no other effect than to injure the lock—
the opening of the'Safe they found quite impractitable.
" We are happy to be enabled to express our unqualified approbation of the Safe; we believe it is impregnable to thieves.
"If our verbal testimony will he of service to you, you are at liberty to refer to us, and to make any use you please of
this communication.—Yours, respectfully, "BUTTERWORTH and BROOKES.
