WHENCE can it arise that the obvious security and ad vantages of Life Assurance should be so little regarded in Liverpool?--that its inhabitants, as remarkable for pru dence as for enterprise, should, on this point alone, be so reckless ? Of the thousands who are tolling early and late to provide for their families, many must drop off long before that object can be accomplished ; yet how few have Assu rances upon their lives, and for this the reason usually as signed is, " that they have no t h a d ti e to think of Life tiAssurance." They have ti me f or ev y commercial opera tion, however unimportant, but they have no time for one transaction of half an holm., requi g only an annual pay ment afterwards, to plac e th e i r f a • ies beyond the reach of want after their death—an event rendered not less probable by the fatigues and anxieties of commercial life. Hardly a vessel leaves the Thames without the captain and passengers of ships belonging to London houses having Assured their Lives ; whilst from the Mersey thousands proceed annually to the States, to British America, the East and West Indies, and to the great nation now rising up in Australasia, largely in debted to Liverpool merchants, but without Assurance upon their Lives. The Directors of the Australasian, Colonial, and General Life Assurance and Annuity Company, have the pleasure to announce that they will be represented in Liverpool by Messrs. KIRKBY and WATSON, of No. 20, Water-street, who will afford every facility for the immedi ate despatch of Commercial and other Life Assurance, and through their Agency the peculiar advantages of this Com pany are respectfully tendered to the inhabitants of Liverpool and its vicinity.

President, Most Noble the MARQUIS OF CHOLMONDELEY. Vice Presidents, His Grace the ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY. His Grace the ARCHBISHOP OF YORK, ' &C. &C. &C. APUBLIC MEETING OF THE LIVERPOOL AUXILIARY IN BEHALF OF THIS SOCIETY, will be held (D. V.) in the MUSIC HALL, BOLD -STREET, on MONDAY EVENING NEXT, September 7th, 1840. The Chair will be taken at Half-past Six precisely. Several Clergymen and Lay Friends are expected to ad dress the Meeting. The object of this Institution is to supply tb‘ Holy Scrip tures, at a reduced price, to the Naval and ?Unitary portion of the community ; and possessing, as it do s, the patronage of Government, it thus enjoys peculiar ad ntages for carry ing on its operations among her Majest s Troops, and the Seamen of her Majesty's Navy. Nor are its operations confined to this class of Men, for one of its leading features is to visit our Seamen, fr om ves sel to vessel, who are engaged in the Merchant Service, and on our rivers and canals, and also to supply every vessel that floats with copies of the Scriptures gratuitously, as the pro perty of the ship for the general use of the crew. And when it is considered to what an extent our Seamen are precluded from the public means of religious instruction, the necessity of supplying them with the Word of God is the more apparent. It is, therefore, confidently hoped that all those who are friendly to the circulation of the Holy Scrip tures, will attend and support the Society.

And the questions u on which the / two countries are now at issue being of such ifficult adjust meet as to render it almost impossible, an certainly impro bable, that any more teas can be ohtaine from China for a very considerable period, a great rise i all descriptions of that article has taken place. Since Jun last, common black teas have risen Is. 9d., and fine green, 3s. per lb. Fine Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late public sales, 9s. 7d. per lb. ; fine black teas as high as 6s. 7d., whilst up to this mo ment, Captain Pidding has continued to allow his teas to be sold without any advance whatever. The late great rise, however, having caused a run upon his teas by the trade, who found that they could purchase them cheaper retail than they could buy inferior teas wholesale, he is compelled to raise the price, to prevent his remaining stock being purchased by tea dealers. For the pre s e n t, C a pt a i n Pidding's How- QUA'S MIXTURE will be sold at the rate of 6s. 9d. per lb., being 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d. per lb., when the commonest teas, since June, have advanced ls. 9d. per lb. HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER Will he sold, for the present, at 9s. 9d. per lb., when even Hyson, an inferior tea, is fetching, wholesale, 9s. 7d. per lb. Half and quarter catties in like proportions. Captain Pidding thinks it right to inform the public that his Chinese correspondent states confidently, that there is no probability of the trade opening with that country, for, at the least, twelve months ; and as the entire stock of consumable tea in Great Britain will be exhausted before that period, there is little doubt but tea will advance daily. These Teas consist of Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S MIXTURE, of 40 rare Black Teas and HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER,in Chinese Catty Packages. N.B.—The signature of " Captain JOHN RHODES PID DING" is upon every genuine package. GEO. CARLYLE, Repository, 38, Bold-street, Sole Agent for LIVERPOOL. Bolton G. J. French, Silk Mercer. . —v.

It will prevent Diseases of a Scrofulous Nature affecting the Nerves of the Head. In cases of Nervous Head-ache it is completely efficacious, and gives a Natural/Sweetness to the Breath. It may he taken as frequently an'other Snuffs, with the most perfect safety and gratificatiozi to the consumer. Wash the eyes every morning with wiWm milk and water, to remove whatever secretion may have been produced durifig the night. Dr. ABERNETHY used it, and termed it the Faculty's Friend and Nurse's Vade Mecum. Dr. ANDREWS also recommends its use as a preventive. (See his report when in Sunderland, published in the Times, Cheltenham Journal, and British Traveller, in Nov. 1831.) He says, " the herbaceous quality of the snuff had such effect on the stomach, as well as the nerves of the head, from the tenacious sympathy of the nzeinbrane of the nose with the nervous system, that Grimstone's Eye Snuff, when taken frequently, must prevent any contagion entering the system, and recommends its universal adoption.

MOXON'S EFFERVESCENT MAGNESIAN APE r RIENT, for Indißestion, Bilious Affe c ti ons, Casual o- Habitual Costiveness, piles, &c. &c., and as an i nvaluable cure and preventive of Gout. This elegant preparation of Magnesia, the result of much study and experiment, is fast superseding all other medicines of its class, and is now very generally acknowledged to be the best purgative ever introduced as a public medicine. The almost unprecedented sale which it s obtained has aroused . the cupidity of many unpnnciple persons, who are always ready to take advantage of t popularity of another's invention ; and this medicine h therefore been very exten sively imitated; by Compounds 'possessing none of its pro perties. Purchasers can only rely upon the Government Stamp, which, in the genuine article, has " Moxon and Smith, (then co-partners,) Chemists, Hull," engraved on it. This is the only certain proof of the genuine preparation. Not being ranked amongst quack specifics, its valuable properties have obtained for it the recommendation of many members of the medical profession, (among others those of Drs. Graham and Turnbull,) and numbers of the nobility, clergy, and gentry of the land. It is universally allowed, by all who have given it a fair trial, to be superior to all other medicines as a FAMILY PURGATIVE ; and as an invaluable companion to the traveller, particularly those visiting tropical countries ; the sportsman, the delicate female, the sedentary student ; and to all persons subject to irregularities of the bowels, and the disorders resulting therefrom. A teaspoon ful taken after any excess, either in eating or drinking, will restore the tone of the stomach, and relieve all unpleasant symptoms. If taken regularly for some time previous to the usual time of experiencing a fit of Gout, it will generally prevent, and always mitigate the severity of the attack, without that injury to the constitution which is consequent upon the use of colchicum and other strong sedatives. To those afflicted by Indigestion, Bilious Disorders, Sick headache, and all other affections caused by an imperfect performance of the functions of the digestive organs, it affords a pleasant and effectual remedy, its operation being at once effective and unattended by griping or other unpleasant symptoms.

But read the following : From the John Bull, Gth May, 1839.—We copy the fol lowing from the Cheltenham Journal, being struck by its re ference to that eminent and successful oculist, James Ware, Esq., F.R.S., whose opinion touching the subject of which he treats will be read with interest. The discovery of Mr. Grimstone is simple, gentle, and certain, and by its unfailing influence on the nervous fabric of the head, possesses the un questionable power of relieving, assisting, and prolonging the sight even to extreme old age.—Editor. Cheltenham Journal, 22d April, 1839.—" That most emi nent oculist, James Ware, Esq., F.R.S., was so strongly im pressed with the utility of snuff not made of tobacco, that in the third volume of the Medical Society's Works, page 334, this able oculist read several cases of gutta serena cured by the plentiful use of snuff. This snuff was made without the aid of tobacco, that being too great a narcotic to be used as a remedy. The anticipations of this gentlemen have been fully realised by Mr. Willi am Grimstone, the Inventor of Eye Snuff, made from aromatic herbs, so judiciously ar ranged as in almost every case of disease touching the eye, ear, and the delicate organs of the head, to produce a certain cure."—Editor. 4 . 1 There are, perhaps, few articles which are so universally used as snuff, and various and innumerable have been the devices to tickle our noses at the expense of our pockets, but there is only one snuff—albeit many have been attempted— which has proved of any value, or indeed realised the inten tion of the consumers. Grimstone's Eye Snuff is a delightful and fragrant compound, and possesses properties peculiarly its own ; for, unlike all other snuffs, it is really of essential and important service to persons of studious habits, and of weak and infirm sight ; and if we may judge by the numerous medical gentlemen who haVe borne testimony to its merits, and the many well authenticated cures it has performed, it is not undeserving of the high esteem which it has already attained, not only in this but in other countries."—Old Effy land,llth January, 1840. "We should be glad to see this snuff in general use. It is a safe and powerful restorative.—Manchester Chronicle. " GRIMSTONE'S Eva SNUFF.—Notwithstanding the sys tem of puffing which is carried on in this vast metropolis, we. rsally must claim for Mr. Grimstone the distinction of being a benefactor to his species. We have had ocular demonstra tion of the value of his snuff, which we tried out of curiosity, having at the same time a slight affection of opthalmia, which the use of the snuff very speedily removed. We therefore cordially recommend it to the public."—CVown, Aug. 26,1838. " If any testimony were wanting to prove the efficactOf Grimstone's Eye Snuff, we should be most happy to throw ours into the grand scale of demonstrations and proofs already possessed by the inventor. Literary men, and individuals accustomed to sedentary habits or long reading, will find thi s in snuff invaluable keeping' off .headace, dizziness, Sec. &c. —Old 211onthly Magazine, September, 1838, p. 336.

SIR S I have been afflicted for many yea ar rs ch with a 1 severe pain in my head, attended with a dimness of sight and dart ing pains in my eyes, for which I have had the first medical advice; indeed, I have taken large quantities of medicine, without receiving any relief; but I em now delighted to say, with truth, that ever since using your valuable eye snuff, which I have taken copiously, that is, a 2s. 4d. canister weekly, I am quite free from those excruciating pains, and can read the smallest print, although I .am in the 65th year of my age. This is my third testimony, and I shall be most happy to give it to you or to any respectable inquirer at my residence as under.—l remain, with gratitude, sir, your obedient humbl e servant, E.

Sir,—l think it my incumbent duty to return you my grate ful acknowledgments of the efficacy of your invaluable eye snuff." You must understand, sir, that I have for the last four or five years suffered much with giddiness in my head and dimness of sight. I naturally concluded (being in my 69th year) that it was the decay of nature, and was advised by a friend, who said much in its favor, and the extraordinary virtues of your celebrated invention, I was induced to give it a trial, and I am happy to say that the great and signal benefit I have derived from the use of four 2s 4d canisters has ena . bled me to lay aside my spectacles, has given me great relief in my head, and I feel sc! thoroughly convinced of its uenign virtues, that my gratitude s h a ll ever b e evinced in , recom - mending it to all I may hereafter meet suffering with those afflictions.—l am, sir, your most obliged an d grateful servant, To W.

I think White it but justice arch that I should offer my acknowledgments to you for the great benefit I have derived from the use of your most exquisite fragrant com pound, composed of herbs, called Eye Snuff; its action on the membrane of the nose, causing the lachrymal glands to discharge in a manner truly surprising, and by that means to cleanse the cornea, that my eyes became healthy, strong, and performed their wonted duties in a manner that 1 have not known the blessing of for six years. The renowned Dr. Guthrie recommended me to try your eye snuff prior to my undergoing an operation. Many thanks to him for his sug gestion, thanks to your invention, that operation will not be necessary. Sir, you have my permission to make this known in any manner you think best.

" Depend upon it," says the colonel, " he was one that helped to steal your pig." GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—The tenth half-yearly meeting of this undertaking was held on Thursday week, at the Merchants' Hall, Bristol. Mr. Charles Russell took the chair, and congratulated the town of Bristol that, by the be ginning of .November they would be able to open the line as far as Swindon, which was earlier than was expected, and would complete ninety out of the entire length of one hundred and eighteen miles. The report was then read. The state ment of the coaching revenue to the 30th June, comprised receipts during the three first months of the year, from 31 miles of railway, to Twyford ; during the two next months, from 36 mil es t o R ea di ng; an d d ur i ng one mont h, f rom 56 miles to Steventon. The gross amount received is £89,037 9s. The number of passengers conveyed has been 378,736 ; the aggregate number of miles travelled 7,888,293 ; furnishing an average result of 1171 persons daily travelling the whole distance. The result of the half-year showed a profit of £46,188 is 7d. The directors regretted the losses which had been sustained by tire, and promised a settlement at the earliest possible period. The company had determined up on leasing the Cheltenham and Great West ern , and the Bristol and Exeter lines, by which they were of opinion that many and important advantages might b e ensured to this company. The directors proposed to create 37,500 new shares of £2O eac h, which would raise £750,000, offering to each p ropr i etor one new share at par in respect of an original sh are of £lOO, or two half-shares of £5O each. Uponthese shares it was t s ' recommended that a c a ll of £4 per share s h ou ld b e made, and £150,000 so saised applied to 'nu of the mortgage deben tures of the compa n y. i t was also recommended that power should be given, by a resolution of the comany to orrow £600,000 on loa n not e s, under the company's p seal, , at interest of five per cent. per annum, payable half-yearly, with a cove nant to discharge the said loan notes at fixed periods, either in cash o r ' new wort • debentures at the option of the hold moved as thane Motion 4 t a lt e t t the report be adoped, Mr. Heyworth that a dividend of £3 per share b declared, which was seconded ; b u t on the chairman explain " ing that the directors had thOnght it more consistent with the spirit of their act, and theood name of the company, to apply their profits ' in the first instance to the payment of the interest on their debt, that gentleman withdrew his amend ment, and the report was adopted. The report stated the probability of a dividend being declared in February next. A. resolution for the creation of the new £2O shares was also abopted. It was stated in the course of the day . that the ex.: pense of working this line is at present nearly 48 per cent on the gross revenue of the company. tEri fir &alb.

THE CROPS.—The weather, throughout the present weep in the county of Northumberland, has, upon the wile' been highly favourable to the operations of harvest. 7 has been occasional rain, but a bright sun and a genial sphere have preponderated, and, in consequence, r breadth of corn has been cut clown. During the ensuin it is expected that harvest will be general in this distric as we have before intimated, the prospect P quality is satisfactory.

After a long bearing and de bate, the justices, acting on the opinion of Sheriff Corrie, held the objection to be fatal, and dismissed the case.— Aberdeen Constitutional. s to quantity and wheats havinir been DR. SOUTHEY.—Rumours have for a considerable time been current respecting the health of Dr. Southey, the poet laureate. Delicacy no longer requires the withholding of the melancholy fact, which gives the greatest grief to every lover of literature, that, through overmuch intellectual labour, Dr. Southey's fine mind has been so much prostrated and shattered, that it is very unlikely that he will ever again appear before the public as a writer. Our information on this subject is derived from a letter written by Mrs. Southey to a friend in this city.—Bath Chronicle. NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY.—It has been well observed, that, if the receipts of the most prosperous railways in the country had been published weekly at their opening, as is now the case, the shares would probably have been as much depressed as those of the North Midland have been. The following statement serves to prove this :—The gross receipts of the Grand Junction Railway, which opened on the 4th July, 1937, were for the first six months, £116,740, or £4,490 per week. The length of the Grand Junction, including the rails to Manchester and Liverpool, is 112 miles. If the No r th Midland, the l eng th o f wh i ch is 72 miles, only produced . £2,9110 per we e k, i t would b e at the same rate per week as of the Grand Junction of £4,500. But the average receipts of the North Midland for the last three weeks are £3,300 per An anecdote has been told me, the authenticity of which I have no reason to doubt. When the northern ambassadors lately paid visits to Louis Philippe, after his return from En, the king is said to have received them with the greatest cool ness, and to have made set speeches at what he called the ingratitude of their masters.
