LOANS. Loans are advanced on Policies which have been in existence five years and upwards, to the extent of nine-tenths of their value. BONUSES. FIVE Bonuses have been declared; at the last, in January, 1852, the sum of :4131,125 was added to the Policies, producing a Bonus varying with the different ages from 24i to 55 per cent. on the Premiums raid during the five years, or from .-e5 to £l2 10s. per Cert. on the Sum Assured. The Boimses anplied in reduction of Premium on many of the Policies widen have participated in three or more divisions, have been sufficient not only to extinguish the whole of the Premiums, but also to add a Bonus to the sum assured, which will be further augmented at every succeeding division.

THE MAGISTRATES AND TH E ity chbapest in the en( LICENSING SYSTEM. AT the annual Licensing Session, which commenced on the 6th instant, it was announced that the Ma gistrates of Liverpool were anxious to get rid of their power of granting Licenses, and would, if necessary, apply to Parliament on the subject. The Recorder and the Clergy, it was said, complain that there are too many Public-houses in the Borough already; yet they are every year inundated with applications for additional grants. We apprehend the Magistrates have a remedy for much of the evil to steamers and sea-going ship, has never been more strikingly proved than by the working, thus far, of the Countess of Ellesmere. This steam-boat, which cannot brt be noticed when in our river for its beautiful proportions, and its swiftness, was fully described by us when she was launched in the spring ; and, on another occasion, when she made a trial trip to the Menai Bridge, performing her work most satisfactorily to the builder, Mr. Join LAinn, of Birkenhead, and all who were on board; and the im pression made upon our minds, and that of others, was, that she was too expensively constructed for the trade in which she was to be engaged,viz. : that of running to and and set little value on, was in truth a diamond of the first water, had, by the discovery, entitled him self to deprive us of our gem. But not contented with this honest argument, Mr. WEBSTER goes on to prove the title of the United States, by showing that GREAT BRITAIN has precluded herself from any claim, because she has acknowledged that she has derived no right from the exercise of a usage similar to that practised by the Americans ; nay, Mr. WEBSTER furthermore urges, that because the government of Peru issued a decree in 1833, founded on the absence of all title in any other power, and because a reconsideration of that decree was re quested by the government of the United States, without any denial of the title of Peru, the United States had, in fact, thereby established their title. The perusal of Mr. WEBSTER'S letter to Senor DON JUAN DE OSNIA, the Peruvian Charge d'Af faires, will teach the reader a melancholy lesson, showing how great intellectual gifts may he mis applied, and pure integrity blemished, for the grati fication of party wishes, and the promotion of party purposes. complained of within their own reach ; and, if they would adopt it, there need not be a new license granted for the next twenty years.

The advantages which have been gained by fineness of superiority of engines. rnd the best possible equip ment?, are, that she is able to perform more vrork than any of the vessels hitherto built for the Runcorn packet service, and, at the same time, has attracted, during the model The cause of the immorality so much complained of is not that the aggregate number of public houses is too great, but that they are improperly located. It is in the small houses in our low back streets that crime is principally concocted and com mitted. Unable to carry on a respectable trade, the occupiers of many of these are driven to harbour improper characters. In such houses it is that Sunday-trading is carried on, and the working classes, especially of the female sex, are afforded facilities for sly drinking. A female is far gone in vice before she will face the motley assemblage of a gin-palace. It is in these houses that games of chance are allowed, and other inducements held out for indulging in liquor and in bad companionship. Some hundreds of licenses would be at once re moved to open and respectable localities, where they are required, if the owners of them were permitted to do so; and the streets in which they are at present a pest and a nuisance be purged of the immorality which they cause. period she has been running, more passengers of the best class than were ever carried during the same period be. She has for some time been makin tween the two ports regularly two trips a day to Runcorn and back, the time consumed in each trip being about an hour, and fre quently under ; and, in addition, has been enabled, when ever the weather was favourable, to run cut round the Light-ship with passengers. Had the fact that such a fine vessel was making this pleasant zun been more ge- FALLACIOUSNESS OF BOARD OF TRADE RETURNS nerally known, we feel confident that hundreds of the re spectable portion of the people of Liverpool,— in whosi WE have ever and anon an Io triumphe from the organs of Liberalism when the Returns of the Board of Trade for any particular month show an increase in the entries, inwards and outwards, of our Shipping. No matter whether or not it should happen that during a particular month in this year we had favourable winds both for arrival and de parture, while in the month of last year, with which it is compared, we had unfavourable ones, the fact of there being such increase is seized upon as evidence that the Shipowner, under free trade, is on the high road to prosperity. It is seldom that we have been afforded better proof of the fal lacy of this mode of testing the condition of that in terest than is contained in the Returns for the past month. The entries inwards and outwards of British Vessels are 863,027 tons, against 912,519 tons in the corresponding month of last year, showing a decline to the extent of 45,492 tons. The entries inwards and outwards for the month, of vessels of all countries, are 1,395,356, against 1,486,367' in the corresponding month of last year, showing a decrease of 91,011 tons. From this, according to the logic of mere staticians, the Shipping Interest has been in a state of great depression. Yet it is a notorious fact that that in terest has been reaping more profit from the advance in freights, during the past two months, than at any period since the Repeal of the Naviga tion Laws. The London Times remarks that the decrease of entries is partly to he accounted for by the detention of vessels at Sydney and Port Philip ; and there is some' truth in the remark. It is a fact also that a number of our large ships chartered for Australia have, after landing their passengers there, gone to India, China, and other countries for homeward freights ; thus remaining at sea longer than they would have done but for the peculiarity of the new trade into which they have entered. But admitting all this, what becomes of the test which the Board of Trade Returns have always been said to afford us of the prosperity or adversity of our Mercantile Marine ? The Returns point one way; but the truth lies in another. minds the idea of the trip is associated with crowd country visitors, conveyed in dirty tug-boats, or in 11 worse class of vessels,—would have eagerly availed them selves of the opportunity afforded by her. We had the pleasv-e, on Friday last, of going the round with the Countess down the Rock Channel, to the North-west Light-ship, and returning by the Bell Buoy, down the Victoria Channel, in hopes of being able to try her speed, either with the Menai steamer bound to Bangor, or the Tynwald, belonging to the Manx Company. Both these boats, unfortunately, went away a considerable time before the Countess could get her passengers on board, owing to the wretched provision made by the authorities for this class of vessels. In returning, however, we had the Lon donderry boat, Maiden City, a little a-head of us at the Bell Buoy, with her jib set, end doing her best; and, on SMUGGLED GOODS. To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD, SlR,—Allow me, through the medium of your valuable paper, to put persons on their guard, particularly Ameri cans, against a combined set of swindlers who purport to be our countrymen, and call themselves sailors. Their system is to represent that they have returned from China or elsewhere, and have smuggled goods, which were in tended to be taken home for their friends, but, having put into this port, are necessitated to dispose of them. Their statements are made with so much apparent reluctance, and their position so feelingly described, that you are in duced to commiserate them, and perhaps the uninitiated will purchase ; the consequence is, you get a miserable ar ticle at an exorbitant price. lam aware the position of the purchaser cannot be viewed in a very praiseworthy light, inasmuch as it is encouraging a fraud on the reve nue ; but their appeal to the feelings often has an effect. I would, moreover, remark, that the town of Liverpool would be decidedly better off without such characters ; and as I have been a victim, and have watched them well, I can state that their nest may easily be broken up. I notice their general post, for I have been assailed several times, is at the corners of Whitechapel, Lord-street, and Church -street, whence they sally out on the unwary, tak ing them into Whitechapel, in any of the drinking-houses, to display their wares, apparently, of course, with the greatest secrecy. arriving at Liverpool, had dropped her a mile a-stern BANKRUPTCY COURT.-YESTERDAY ----.--_ RE BALDERSTON.—The final examination of this bank rupt was, on the application of Mr. Collier, solicitor to the assignees, adjourned to Friday.

HERBERT'S PICTURE. OF " KING LEAR AND COBDE LIA."—Mr. Herbert, whose paintings are very highly valued in Liverpool, has just forwarded here a work of . great beauty. The scene pourtrayed in it taken from that portion of Shakespeare's King Lear, in which th e poor old King is awaking to sanity in the presence o f hi s daughter Cordelia. The two principal pictures are repre sented in a tent, pitched on the cliffs of Dover, the vast expanse of the scene beyond being seen, with th e coast of France, in the distance. The ph)s clan of the deposed monarch is in the act of drawirg aside a curtain, as if to admit the fresh air. All the incidents and details carry out the ideas of the great dramatist ; and the picture is skilfully painted. The figure and countenance of Corde lia, exhibiting the emotions of wonder and delight are full of beauty ; and the raged mon arc h i s still regal in bearing, and lineaments, even in his sad wreck. The painting may be seen in the rooms of Mr. Herbert's bro ther, Ranelagh-street.
