Press . and Inquirer t of this week), I addressed myeelf to the authors of the very unusual and ungentlemanly attack Uo apply no harsher epithets) published in a number of papers of last week and headed “ Lillie’s Safes Blown Opan," &c. Why this attack was made in an anonymous form, without signature, when ita paternity is so palpable. I will leave the pnblic to judge. In this article I propose to take up somewhat In detail the charges and allega tions made in this attack. The first charge is “that those New York humbugs who advertise Lillie’s Safes say that they are the only safe % that stand fira. ” Tais is untrue. There are many sheet-iron safes of different makes that, under favorable circumstance?,';save the written matter, andfrequently the wholecoutems. when the heat is not too severe. But my claim is (and I.so advertise) that the chilled iron safe is the only strictly Fire end Burglar-Proof Safe combined, as usually sold. for Mercantile Safes When I say my Chilled Iron Safe is burglar proof, I do not say they cannot b 9 got into in any manner; bat. on ihe contrary, 1 say they can be sledged, and broken. I also say they are generally and usually drill-proof, and impervious to any cutting instruments, as has been proved in any number of tests. I say, further, that any safe not drill-proof is not, nor can it he,burglar- prooF, as It i* practical for the burglar to use the drill or chisel, but not the sledge. The next declaration is that there is not one of Lillie’s Bank or Mercantile Safes that cannot be drilled and blown open in the same'inanner as the one at Wilkes barra.. This is a broad declaration, without a shadow offset to sustain it rand that its truth or falsity may be at once uncerstood and appreciated, I now request any hf my parronsin the city of Philadelphia, having my Chilled Iron Safes, to select the best mechanic of their ac quaintance, and have the Safe thoroughly tested with the best and most perfect drill or cattingUstruinant that can be procured; and if in any case the Safe is not pro nounced thoroughly and fairLy drill -proof. I will furnish a Safe that is, or refund the money if there is any other Safe that can he found to stand more resistance. As to the proposition to send a committee to Troy to sea how many over twenty of Lillie’s Safas were burned up. I have replied already; Imtl here offer one certificate signed by twelve promin*t business men. This cer tificate speaks for itself, as to the result .and the com parative merits of Lillie’s and other S»fe3. I have also certificates from Call other parties having Lillie's Safes in the Troy fire, entirely corroborating the ttaicmant made in this certificate as to the comparative m-ritsof Lillie’s Safes with, other*, which can be examined any time at my office: '• Tnor, N Y., May 14 1?CI The undersigned, using LILLIE'S CHILL ND AND .'WBOUGRT-IROK' FIRE AND BURGLAR- PROOF SAFES, ax the time of the lato disastrous fire iu this city, would stata that our Safes were subjected to a severe test by fire, the heat varying in intensity, according to the locality and surroundings. The time they were ex posed to tbo fiery ordeal, unprotected by water, varied from twenty-four to seventy-two hours. >Ve would -say that our money, papers,- hooks. &c., were well pre served, and the Safes are suitable for further u«s. By comparison with Safes of other manufacture, equilly exposed, we have no hesitancy in recommending Stfes of LHJie’s manufacture to the public on their demoa- Btmted merit as entitled to unparalleled confidence as fire-proofs. ‘ James Kenyon.

As to the.Wilkesbarre robbery, I now offer Mr.-W.-G. Sterling’s statement, which I think quite as reliable os the statemeuts of my opponents or their agents: •• Bakkixu-axd Lschangk Office op-W. G. Sterling,' Wilkesbahre, Luzerne Co., Pa, , Nov. 25.1863 HOOPBS. Lkms Lillie, Esq .=2>e<xrSir: In answer to your letter making request for »he particulars of the robbery in my office. 1 would Bay, that the Safe blown open was an or dinary Mercantile Safe, and not-a Bank Safe, as was generally supposed. The burglars had every opportu-. nity for operating, as the Safe was *ia my back office, which was of easy acceis from several points-at the rear, and, as there were no persons sleeping w't bin some distance of my office and as there was no watchman or police that frequented that neighborhood, they could work wiihout fear of detection. -Parsons living on the opposite side of the street report hearing two separate aid distinct explosions: also, others distinctly heard the burglars at work while boring; but as there was a stable directly in the rear of my office, the noise of the dril ling-was attributed to the horses, and no attention was paid to it. The burglars entered my back office bypry ingopen the window-shutters and lifting the sash, which, must ha ve given them but little trouble, as both shut ters and window-sash are of the kind usually used on dwellings. Learning from your agent that the I was using was not intended for bankers’ use. and that ic wastnf=rior to those you manufactured for banking pur poses—having no iluMf burglar box or safe, of less thickness, Ac.—lhad some time since concluded to get one of Tour regular-. Bank Safes, with inside bur glar safe, and had, in fact, written- a letter to you. be fore \he robbery, to that effect, but had not sent ft-at-tua.*- time. My rafe waa one that had been made several years, and was not as hard or well chilled, in my opi nion, as those lately, aold.Jjy.you in : this place: also ■"Having on. the old lock. „ -> .—. n r«U- You will please fend me one of your best No. - Bur glar and Firs Bank Safes, witk Inside■' Burglar safe, as, notwithstandinr tliis oconrrence. I am ssilloltne opinion that your Safes offer greater resistance to bar glare’ operations than any other Safe that I am ac* T^fs 4 burglarious effort can hardly be called a success fnl one, a.« the burglars appear to have taken no time to examine the Safe after it wasblown open, but made their escape as soon as possible, leaving *17,500 m the Sate, exposed to view. :ro ” s ’SEERLINd. Asa I here positively asset t, and challenge W oppo nents to show to the contrary, that Mr. Sterling s ex press d coinion as to the relative merits of Lulls s bare, compared with other safes, is t jg opinion of the bankers and merchants of Wilkesharre generally;aLer making a thorough test with drills, &o. The fact, also, that Uie robbery was unsuccessful —the burglars leaving® 17,50 u in tbe safe in open pigeon-boles—la greatly m favor o! ‘Millie’s Safe, showing the importance'of strength. It would seem that tbe lock was held to the door with such firmness that, after the door was drined, the oral* nary charge of powder was applied bat the lock was not removed; the second and greater charge was applied, aud the result was that not only the safe hut the side ot the building where it stood was shattered, and the repor t so loud as to raise the neighborhood and ciuse ihe burglars to leave instanter, having no time to bag the money. Next in order is a portion of the letter wntt- n one year since by Mr. Emery (Mr. Evans’ son-in-law), referring to the Lock Haven fire: : , . T When this ?ame letter was published (?s l recol lect). Mr. Emery adds: “lenciose one certificate, aud expect, or shall get. two more to-morrow:^ and, al though this same certifi-ate has appeared in the papers and circulars since, I have not had the honor or ever . seeing the other two certificates, I am informed, hp w evM 1 from good authority, that the safe for which this certificate was obtained was in a Jaw,office, and wai drawn outside of tbe building before the fire caught; also, that one of the three or four safes (of course, it was difficult to be precise as to number among so many), of same make, was owned by a jeweller, and that some of the watches actually melted together . Also.that ano therof thesame was in so tad astato, and the contents so much injured, that a satisfactory certificate could not • he obtained, and Mess/s. Boggia & Beedle’s statement felly corroborates, in general terms, the results as above now offer Messrs. Bocals Jr Besdle’s letter, who were ; Farrell. Barring, & Co. ’a agents at the time; also. T. T. To*show*how*my-Safe stood fire, compared with others, and it b relative mer!ts: LocK H AVE x , January 31,1563. . Lewis L’illte. Esq. , Troy, Haw York.—Pear Sir ■' 1“ answer to your inquiries concerning the late fire in this | place we would say, that our Safe of your manufacture , was in the hottest fire of any. the doors were shut and the bolts thrown. But as we had removed our books before the fire reached our Safe, we did.not lock the lock . as we had nothing of value in the Safe we were in no hurry to get it out of-the.rain?, and it re mained in between three and four days. We do not doubt irom whet we saw of other makers Sales, which were Eot out in a few hours in & damaged state, that they and any Safe of same size of any maker, would have teen burn; up under the c e circumstances. • Toms respectfully, . BQ(i3lb Ct BaiLiLi'S. In Oi o’er to ascertain how much the Safe was Injured on ihe inside, we forced it open with two pickaxes aud a crowbar. BOGvHb a bjsadlis - Look Haven, Jan. 31.1863.^. To L LuLiK.Esta— Dear Sin: The above are Agents for Farrel, Herring. & Co. ’a Safe. -They state dto me to day, thnt from what they knew of Safes at the late nre in 'hit place, they would as soou trust a Lillie s bare as a Heiring jate, Attorney at Law. Perhaps I ought to here state that the above Safe wai the lightest grade of *afe I make, and from some cause was not as thoroughly staid by the wrought bar as is ■usual, and that it cracked .sufficient to allow the vapor to escape, otherwise it is nor probable the case would lave charred even in the four days’ heat and, as it was, had there have been anything in is, and the Safe got out soon after the fire, the contents would, withoac doubt, have been preserved. I now offer Dr. Rock well s letter, who had the charge ofa large Insane Hospital at Brat tleboro. Yt,. a very heavy block of buildings, which burned to ashes about the time of the Lock, Haven fire, to show the usual result of the Chilled- Iron Safe in long fires, although it is not expected the common Safe will stand such trials.

Having, as I think, m this article, satisfactorily replied to the article first alluded to, in myJnext I wilLea* deavor to present toronof the many important advau* taaes the Chilled Iren Safe has over the Sheet Iron, or„ coiumon.Safe, both as a fire and burglar-proof, with the reasons therefor, which be found con clusive. LEWIS bILLIE Per If. C* SA.DLER, . Agent and Attorney, U 1 South: Seventh street. N. B —As to Mr. Reefs (Evans* .Watson’s agent) statement, that Mr. Lillie gave Sir. Sterling a $690 Banit Safe for the wreck, the writer'is not disposed to join issue (not being advised). But, as he knows Mr. Lillie to he *’evfry inch a man,” noted for his liberality, and always disposed to fully sustain his patrons,'it may l>a tiue. Besides, it is known that Evans & Watsan>. and Herring' &=Co.V agents were at Wilkesbarre,’ offering fabulous sums for the wreefc, and I have uo doubt that even Barnum could have made a good thing to have pur chased this wreck at $6OO, to exhibit in his Museum as a rare curiosity—the first successful drilling of Lillie’s Chill ed Iron Safe b, the whole burglar nrofessioa. de!3-3t M.
