LIVERPOOL BOOK OF REGISTRY.
A PUBLIC MEETING was held on TUESDAY, in the
Underwriters' Committee-room, to consider of the best
means of obtaining a REGISTRY BOOK for LIVER-
POOL VESSELS. The Meeting was attended by a num-
ber of Merchants, Shipowners, and other Gentlemen inte-
rested in the question. GEORGE QUAYLE, Esq., was called
to the Chair, and the following Resolutions were passed
unanimously :
Proposed by THOMAS CHILTON, Esq., seconded by W.
ROBINSON, Esq.,
That the Rules and Regulations of the London Registry
Book of British and Foreign Shipping, however well calcu-
lated, in the opinion of the Merchants and Underwriters of
London, to carry out the principles (laid down by the soci-
ety) for the Port of London, under the immediate and con-
trolling superintendence of a Resident Committee, never-
theless have not been found to be equally efficient in Liver-
pool, owing to the want of a Lqcal and Superintending Com-
mittee.
Proposed by— COLBORNE, Esq., seconded by JOHN
ANDERSON, Esq.,
That the Liverpool Shipowners and Merchants have, from
the first establishment of the London Registry Book, claimed
the right and asserted the justice of having a Local Committee
conceded, such claim being founded on the principle of vo-
luntary taxation being entitled to local representation; and
that such request having been peremptorily denied, (not-
withstanding the remonstrances from the Shipowners' Asso-
ciation. as well as from private individuals,) the Shipowners
and Merchants of Liverpool are at last driven, in self-defence,
to declare their determination to establish a Liverpool Re-
gistry Book of Shipping, based on principles of justice and
equity.
Proposed by JOHN CLAYPOLE, Esq., seconded by
LOCKETT, Esq.,
That, to attain the object desired, a Provisional Commit-
tee he appointed ; a guarantee subscription fund raised ; to-
gether with a fund to.be received from annual subscribers to
the Society.
The Registry Book to be entitled, THE LIVERPOOL RE-

GISTRY OF STUFFING
The Provisional Committee to consist of the following
members, viz.:—
Messrs. William Potter,
James Aikin,
Samuel Martin,
George Loch,
John Clint,

Assisted by Messrs Wilson, Russell, Milchrest, and Royden,
and Mr. Bayley, late Surveyor to the London Registry Book,
and Mr. Alexander, Surveyor to the Liverpool Underwriters'
Association, who are to draw up the Rules and Regulations
for approval, the same to be submitted to the Members of
the Society at the next Meeting.
Proposed by R. S. HENDERSON, Esq., seconded by JOHN
WELLSTOOD, Esq.,
It is the recommendation of this Meeting that the Provi-
sional Committee should have an early conference with the
Underwriters of Liverpool and Insurance Companies, for the
purpose of procuring their co-operation in the establishment
of the Liverpool Registry of Shipping.

NORTH BRITISH INSURANCE COMPANY,

GREEN, DUBLIN.
CAPITAL, ONE MILLION.

President-11.1s GRACE THE DUKE OF SUTHERLAND.
THIS CORPORATION ranks amongst the first and most
flourishing Companies in Scotland, combining the prin-
ciple of mutual assurance with the security of a large sub-
scribed capital, and the support of an influential body of
Proprietors.
The Premiums are moderately rated at all ages, and are
so modified by ascending and descending scales and otherwise
as to suit the object of every insurer at the least immediate
outlay, whether to secure a debt, provide for his family, or to
convert income into capital for his own use.
In order to meet the views of all classes of insurers, policies
are likewise granted on the following plan, viz.,—When
an
Insurance is for the whole term of life, ONE HALF or THE
PREMIUMS is only required to be paid for the first five
years, the other half may remain unpaid, subject to the pay-
ment of interest at 5 per cent. per annum, to he deducted at
death, or may be paid off, at the option of the parties. Tables
have also been calculated making the sum insured payable on
the party attaining the age of 60, or at death, if it occur
sooner.

BONUSES may either be added to the sum insured, or
applied in reduction of future premiums. The last Bonus
(declared December, 1837,) averaged 37 per cent. on the
premiums paid.
LOANS are granted to Policy holders without expense, on
approved personal security.
I'ROSPECTUSES, TABLES OF RATES, and every infor-
mation, may be had on application at the HEAD OFFICE IN
EDINBURGH, or at any of the Agents in the Country.
