NOTICE TO MARINERS

Dock-office, October 11, 1838.
(" ALL BEARINGS 'BY COMPASS.")
ripilE TRUSTEES of the LIVERPOOL DOCKS and
I HARBOUR DO HEREBY GIVE NOTICE, that,
in consequence of " Taylor's Bank" advancing to/the north-
westward, and the Halt-tide Swatchway having warped its
breadth to the westward, it is found necessary to Move the
Formby Light-vessel I of a mile W. a N. of her present
berth, into 25 feet 1,. W., and likewise to shift the two Inner
Buoys of the Half-tide Swatchway 2.3ds of a mile N.W.
N. of their present sites, in 3 feet at L.W.; also the Fair-
way Buoy of that Swatchwav 2-3ds of a mile W. N. of its
site into 9 feet at L. W. The Fairway course through that
Swatehwav will then he preserved as heretofore, by bringing
the Light Vessel on with the Rock Light, but upon, the
bearing of S. by E. i E. instead of S. by E. 4 E., and the conrse
alp " Crosby Channel," from the Formby Light 'Wesel, wilt
be S.S E. a E., or keeping her N.N.W . If W., instead of
N.N.W.4 W.
As the Formbv Light Vessel will preserve the original
bearing W. a N. from the Formby Shore Light, her appli-
cation as a leading mark over the Bar a.id through the New
Channel will be the same as at present; but as the 9 feet
spits of that Bar have approached each other so as to leave
an 11 feet- passage over it of only 139 fathoms wide; no vessel
requiring 11 feet water should, until further notice, attempt
the Bar at night (during Spring Tides) after the last quarter
ebb. nor until the first quarter flood.
The Newcome Know! having spread westward, that Buoy
will likewise be moved a quarter of a mile N.W. W., so as
to occupy the northwestern shoulder of that bank in 15 feet
at L.W.

The foregoing movements will take place on the 13th day
of next month, (November) and that the same may be quite
understood, as also to render the Chart of last year still
applicable, a Lithographed Plan of the New Channel region
and approaches will be issued to applicants (gratis) at this
Office.

rip HAT " Union is Strength" is an axiom universally
admitted, and a strong exemplification of its truth may
be found in the establishment of the Licensed Victuallers'
School and Asylum. These two very interesting and impor-
tant Institutions afford demonstrative evidence of the power
and advantage of united and well-organized exertion. The
same energies so laudably displayed in the cause of benevo-
lence—to support the orphan and protect the aged—when
directed to the establishment of a FIRE AND LIFE
ASSURANCE SOCIETY, founded on principles of equity,
and economy, have proved not only of great national impor-
tance, but, from the number and aggregate resources of the
Licensed Victuallers, of incalculable advantage to that body
at large.
When it is remembered that there are now in existence,
the Law, the Clerical, and Medical Assurance Societies, each
formed primarily for a particular class of persons, it will not
appear unreasonable that so large and influential a body of
men as the Licensed Victuallers of England—a body ex•
ceeding Ninety Thousand, and whose annual returns of
Capital approximate to £6o,ooo,ooo—should possess a similar
Institution. Its extensive and beneficial operations, during
the two past years, may be quoted as an earnest of its future
success.

While, however, this Society has been formed by them,
and for their mutual benefit, it is not confined exclusively to
their own body, but is open to all classes of individuals who
may wish to partake of its various advantages.
The objects embraced by it are
First.—lnsuring Houses, Furniture, Stock-in-tra,le, and
every description of Personal Property, against Loss or Da-
mage by Fire.
Second.—Assurance on Lives and Survivorships, and En-
dowments for Children.

Third.—Granting Inunediatev Deferred, and Survivorship
Annuities.

Fourth.—Purchasing Contingent and Reversionary Pro-
perty. Advancing Money on Annuity, Mortgage, and other
Securities.

FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The Premiums fur insuring common and double Ha-
zardous Risks, on GOODS and BUILDINGS, are on the
same scale as other Fire Offices.
LIFE DEPARTMENT.
_ . .

Of this Society enables a Person to provide for his Family
after his death, and also affords the Power of making provi-
sion for himself during Life by Granting Annuities, either
Immediate, Deferred, or Survivorship ; indeed, all the Ob-
jects proposed by the National Loan Fund Society can be
effected by this Company.
The fullest particulars will be furnished upon application
to the Agents.
