The principles upon which the business of this office is con-
ducted, is to afford temporary Loans to persons assuring their
lives with the Company, upon terms calculated with reference
to the amount of the Assurance effected, and the nature of the
security offered for their repayment. This mode of employing
the capital of the Association, is the adoption of means for
augmenting the number of lives assured, and of greatly in-
creasing the profits beyond those of a Life Assurance Company
only. And this will be found one of the must valuable prin-
ciples of Assurance, on account of its capability of being ap-
plied immediately and permanently to the benefit of the As-
sured himself, whilst living, as well as to others after decease.
Individuals possessing real or personal property, Officers in
the Army or Navy, Clergymen, Professional men, Merchants,
Tradesmen, and persons of respectability and character, may, if
assured with this Association, obtain advances for periods very
ing from Three Months to any other agreed period, in amounts
of 501. and upwards, upon either real or personal security, to be
approved of by the Directors, including the security of Policies
effected by parties with this Association, according to their
value at the time of the Loan.

• ---
The—
Directors are persuaded that by combining confidence
with caution, and carrying fairly and liberally into effect this
comprehensive system of Loan in connexion with Life Assur-
ance, they will not only consult the permanent prosperity of
the Association, but at the same time rentier the Institution
signally bensacial to the great mass of the community.
Having Thus premised the General objects of the Associa-
tion, it is necessary briefly to state,
THE REGULATIONS OF THE COMPANY.
A Deed of Settlement will be forthwith prepared for regu-
lating, the affairs of the Association, and for limiting the re-
sponsibility of the Shareholder, until either an Act of Parlia-
ment or a Charter may be obtained ; such Deed to be settled
and approved by Counsel.
The Capital of the Association shall consist of Five Hundred
Thousand Pounds, divided into 20,000 Shares, of 25/, each.
The Deposit is 21. 10s. per Share; which, it is expected, will
be sufficient to obviate the necessity of any further call ; and
Interest at the rate of Five per Cent. per Annum will be al-
lowed upon all Deposits from the time of payment into the
Bank of the Association.
The Accounts shall be audited yearly.
The original Directors and Auditors shall remain in office
five years ; after which time Three Directors and one Auditor
will retire annually ; but will be eligible for re-election. Any
vacancy which may occur in the interim, either among the
Directors or Auditors, will be filled up by the remaining
Directors.

a• ,i,.••••• re
A Special General Meeting of Proprietors shall be convened
by public Advertisement in the month of July, 1847, and
afterwards annually, to receive a Report of the progress of the
business of the Company, and an account of such other matters
as the Directors may deem it proper to submit to them.
The Qualification of voting by Proprietors at every Special
and General Meeting shall be according to the following
scale, viz.:—

The Holder of 15 Shares shall be entitled to One Vote.

22
23
24
25

... 25 ... Two Votes.
... 50 ... ... Three Votes.
... 100 ... ... Four Votes.
And an additional Vote for every subsequent Fifty Shares.
But no Proprietor shall have a Vote in virtue of any Shares
unless such Shares shall have been at least Six Months in his
or her name, previous to such Special or General Meeting.
Assurances may be effected for 50/. and upwards, not only
on the lives of persons resident in the United Kingdom, but
also on the lives of parties resident anywhere within and even
beyond the limits of Europe, including Foreigners of all nations
at Rates proportionate to the nature of the risk.
To Naval and Military Officers, at home and abroad, every
facility will be given for effecting Assurances on their lives.
Ladies and others, to whom it may be inconvenient to ap-
pear at the Office, will be visited at their residences by a Me
dical Officer of the Institution.
The business of this Office also embraces Assurances en
Survivarships ; tke granting and purchasing of Annuities, im-
mediate, deferred, or Survivorship ; the purchase of Contingent
and Reversionary Property; the endowment of Widows and
Children ; and the advancing of Money, on Annuity, Mort
age, and other available Securities.
The annexed Rates of Premium are as moderate as consis-
tentj with perfect security. They are constructed on the prin-
ciplo. of affording to the Assured the option of either securing

35

a fixed Sum, or of having it increased by a participation in the
Profits
Assurances may also be effected by a single payment, by a
payment for a number of years certain, or by any other mode
as may meet the views of the Assured : and the Premiums
may be paid either yearly, half-yearly, or quarterly, at pro-
portionate Rates.
Attendance wll be given daily at the Office, from Ten to
Four o'clock, where Assurances may be effected, and Loan
granted without delay.
No Charge will be made on parties assuring, under the head
of entrance-money. admission- fee, er otherwise, beyond the
Stamps for the Policy.
Ai the most scrupulous care will be taken at the time of ef-
fecting the ,A saurance, isi making all proper inquiries, no As-
surance, when mice completed, will afterwards be questioned or
disputed, except in cases of manifest fraud or misrepresentation.
Policies assigned for bona fide considerations will not become
void by death from suicide, duelling, or the hands of justice ;
and in cases where Policies shall not have been so assigned, a
discretionary power, founded upon the most liberal coniidera-
tion, is vested in the Directors to return to the Widow or Chil-
dren of the assured the whole, or any part of the Premiums paid.
All Claims on the Company in respect of Assurances will be
paid within three calendar months after satisfactory proof of
the death of the party, or immediately after such proof ou the
allowance of discount.

AMERICAN NEWS

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING.

By the arrival of the Cambridge, Capt. Bar-
stow, we have received New York Papers to the
4th inst., being four days later than the dates
brought by the steamer. The Cambridge has
made a good voyage of 17 days. The commer-
cial news by this arrival is not important, the
first day of the new year being kept partially as
a holiday ; but business on the 3d is stated to be
rather brisk and improving ; there is no new
quotation of the exchange upon London, but a
large business has been done for the next packet.
The probability that the President's pro-
ject of finance would be adopted appeared
to decrease every day ; part of his poli-
tical friends were opposed to some of the
heads of the measure, and, between luke-
warm friends and hostile enemies, it was greatly
feared that nothing would be done in the settle-
;Tient of it in this session. The debate on the
question of referring the tariff to a committee
of manufactures generally, or to that of ways
and means, still dragged its weary length along,
the point having been discussed for three weeks.
A reduction of the ad valorem duties bad taken
place on the Ist of January, which, it was hoped,
would give a lift to some branches of commerce.
The opening of a new railroad from Boston to
Albany had taken place on the 28th ult. ; it is
said to be the most perfect of the railroads of
the United States.
There is news from Texas and Mexico of a
later date than before, but it is not very impor-
tant. The capture of the Texan Santa Fe expe-
dition is confirmed.

NATIONAL DEBT.—The Toronto Patriot speaks of the
General Government of the United States as "so utterly
shattered in credit, as to be unable to negotiate more
than half of a loan of twelve millions of dollars, ordered
last season, even at a high rate of interest." Pretty fair
for the subject of a Government which owes four thou-
sand million dollars, and pays an annual interest of
120,000,000 dol. One year's interest on the British debt,
at 3 per cent., per annum, would pay off the principal
of the American debt, though it were eight times as
large as it is at present. The reason why the proposed
loan of 12,000,000 dol. was not all taken, had no con-
nection with the national credit (which could not be
better), but was attributable—first, to the scarcity of
money ; and, secondly, to the fact that the stock had but
a short time to run. The rate of interest which it
bears, is 6 per cent. ; not a " high rate" in this country.
No other securities bearing a similar rate of interest, and
running the same length of time (three.years), would
have sold so well. It is not, perhaps, strange that
foreigners should be misled by the cry of " Bankrupt
Treasury," which is sure to be raised here in high party
times, for political effect. But if they reflect a moment
they will perceive the absurdity of the imputation. With
a population and resources double what they were at the
close of the last war, our debt is but a tithe of what it
was then. In 1816 it was 127,000,000 dol., and there
were those among us who said it never could be paid.
Yet in eighteen years it was entirely extinguished. Such
being the case there is reason to hope we shall be able
to pay the twelve or fifteen millions which we now owe.
When will Great Britain pay the four thousand millions
which she owes?

THE NORTH-EASTERN BOUNDARY SURVEY. —We
learn, from the Bangor Whig, that Major Graham, who
has been employed in the arduous service of surveying
the North-Eastern Boundary line, passed through Ban-
gor on Tuesday, on his way to Washington. He has
had, during the last summer, about one hundred men in
his employ. The trees upon the line have been removed,
on the tops of the hills, to a space of about one hundred
feet, and lessening in width down to the valleys, and the
whole line cleared and bushed. The survey has been
continued a few miles above the Grand Falls, very near
which the line is found to rue. The whole line has been
found very crooked, and the new, running with the
straight line, takes in several houses in the country be-
low the Grand Falls, and in some instances portions of
the cleared fields of the farmers there. Some of them
would at times get exasperated at the proceedings, but
most of them were rather calm. About sixty miles
of the line, through an unbroken forest, still remains to
be surveyed.
AN ATTEMPT OF J. G. BENNETT TO INDICT M. M.
NOAH, M. Y. BEACH, AND N. T. ELDRIDQE, FOR AL-
LEGED LIBELS IN CALLING HIM " A LIAR, CHEAT,
FORGER, AND EXTORTIONER."—We see it stated in the
Sun, and we have heard it from other sources, that on
Thursday last the editor of the Herald made an:attempt
to indict the above named gentlemen for calling him in
their newspapers the aforesaid hard names. The Grand
Jury threw out the complaint upon the ground, as the
Sun says, of " his infamously bad character for truth and
veracity, one witness having sworn positively he would
not believe Bennett under oath."

MEXICAN DECREE OF DUTIES.—The Department of
State gives publicity to a decree, signed by the President
Santa Ana, giving information of the repeal of the laws
passed by the Mexican Government on the 25th Novem-
ber and the 27th of December, 1839, and the 23d of April
and 9th of June, 1840, :raising to 15 per cent. the duties
on consumption of foreign goods in that Republic.
DISASTERS.—The crew and passengers of the English
ship Erin, from Londonderry for Savannah, arrived
here in the Spanish brig Campechano, the ship having
sprung a leak and foundered off Abaco. The British
bark Glengarry, of Glasgow, M`Donald, from St. Thomas,
was totally lost on the Grand Turk, on the night of Dec.
3d.—Crew saved. The schooner Wave, of Wells, Me.,
reported ashore 24th Dee., came off 29th, but slightly
damaged. The hull of the Antaces, from Belfast for
Salem, which went ashore near the same place, was sold
27th, for 360 dols.
MISSING VESSEL.—The schooner Two Sons, of Bel-
fast, about 60 tons, Captain Gordon, sailed thence on a
fishing voyage just before the October gale, and has not
been beard from. She had a crew of nine men, and was
owned by C. Gordon, Esq.
Faost FLORIDA.—We learn from the Savannah Re-
publican of the 25th inst., that the Indians made their ap-
pearance on the morning of the 20th inst. within three
miles of Mandarin, near the St. Augustine road, burned
a house and murdered a whole family, consisting of a
Mr. Hartley, wife, and child. They were destroyed in
the flames. Mr. La Costa was also killed, three houses
burned, and several negroes carried off, one of whom es-
caped. Col. Riley returned to Pilatka on the 21st from
his expedition to the head waters of the St. John's. He
had discovered no Indians. Col. Worth has just re-
turned from his visit to the Everglades, not having found
any traces.
A TOWN DESTROYED.--Mr. Walsh, in one of his let-
ters, says that the town of Komorn, on the island of
Schutt, in Hungary, at the confluence of the Waag and
the Danube, was at the end of last month visited by an
earthquake, which shook down all the timber houses,
and severely damaged other buildings. In consequence
of this disaster, upwards of 5,000 people aro said to be
ruined, and left without a shelter. The general loss is
estimated at an immense amount.
FIRE AT MEDINA.—We learn from the Agent of
Pomeroy and Co.'s Express that there was a destructive
fire at Medina, Orleans county, on Friday morning last.
Several stores and dwellings were burnt, including the
Eagle Tavern. Total loss estimated nt 25,080 dollars.
No insurance on the Eagle, which was valued at about
10,000 dols. The stores and dwellings were partially in-
sured.—Albany Argus.
HAVANA, DEC. 15, 1841.—0 n the 9th instant the In-
tendente published an order for the suppression of eleven
of the nineteen monasteries existing in the Island, and
sequestration for the benefit of the State of the entire
Church property, (excepting that of the nunneries,)
amounting to several millions. For the support
of the monks he has assigned them a small pen
sion, and also a fixed sum to be paid annually
by the State to different churches for the main-
tenance of religious worship. The begging orders
are prohibited asking alms in the street, as
they would thereby have an advantage over the other
orders whose property has been sequestrated. Those
monks who secularise are to have a pension one-fourth
greater than those who retain their habit. All the sacred
vessels are to be distributed among the poor churches.
This measures is looked upon as very beneficial to
the Island, as this class o priests were like a wen
upon our society—possessed of immense wealth and
great influence they were capable of the basest ac-
tions, and were great fomentors of vice in all its
shapes. Of these 19 convents, seventeen are in this city,
containing 134 monks and novices—but three convents
are left, and as their rents are taken away, most of the
monks and all the novices will secularize. Another ;
measure in agitation by our present Intendente is a re- I
duetion of the Tariff. He has appointed a commission
to take the subject into consideration, and has invited
through the press, the merchants and all who feel inte-
rested in the subject to address him their views. It is
