rri HE creditors who have proved their debts under a fiat in
1 bankruptcy, awarded and issued forth against THOMAS
BOYDELL GOLBORNE and ARTHUR ACHESON
DOBBS, of Liverpool, in the county of Lancaster, wine
merchants, are requested to meet the assignees of the estate
and effects of the said bankrupts, on WEDNESDAY, the 19th
day of August next, at Twelve o'clock at noon, at the Cla-
rendon-rooms, in South John-street, in Lilerpool aforesaid,
in order to assent to or dissent from the safd assignees, satis-
fying and discharging an incumbrance ab' the said bankrupt,
Arthur Acheson Dobbs's separate estate, effected by an
assignment made by the bankrupt, Arthur Acheson Dobbs,
to Mr. William Henry M'Dowell, of certain lands in Birk-
enhead, in the county of Chester, for the purpose of indem-
nifying the said William Henry M'Dowell, against certain
Bills of Exchange, drawn or endorsed, and certain liabilities
incurred by the said William Henry M'Dowell, for, and on
account of the said bankrupts, and of the said Arthur Ache-
son Dobbs. not exceeding the sum of four thousand pounds,
and of paying out of the funds of the said Arthur Acheson
Dobbs's separate estate, or otherwise satisfying and discharg-
ing the said Bills of Exchange and liabilities, or some of
them, and of vesting the said lands in trustees, for the pur-
pose of, or otherwise applying the proceeds thereof, in dis-
charge and payment of the ,residue of the said bills and
liabilities.

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 toiling 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 ason usually as-
signed is, " that they have not had tirui to think of Life
Assurance." They have time for eve commercial opera-
tion, however unimportant, but they ave no time for one
transaction of half an hour, requ' g only an annual pay-
ment afterwards, to place their fa lies beyond the reach of
want after their death—an event endered 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 Ihdies, 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.

D ATTEMPT AT MURDER BY
ITALIAN.

;ood deal of excitement was created in this town on
y last by a report that an unforunate young woman, a
nt at the Tontine public-house, had been stabbed by an
n image seller, named Antonio Pogetto, and that her
As were of so serious a nature that a fatal result was

Fhe facts of the case are these. For a considerable time,
t two years we believe, the victim of this Italian's dark
lame is Margaret Crabtree, lived in a state of
_A him. Having at length separated from him
rd herself as servant of the public-house named above,
Pogetto sometimes visited her. On Friday morning
lied at the Tontine about half-past eleven o'clock,
ng gone into a room he was waited upon by the
who supplied him with a bottle of ginger-beer and

an, wnc

two-pennyworthOf rum. He wanted her to sit with him, but
she told him she had some work to attend to, and was on the
point of leaving the room when he seized hold •of her, vici-
ously scratched her face, and otherwise maltreated her. Half-
_

ing
called for assistance she got out of his clutches, and the
fellow left the house.

By and by he came again, and had some more ginger-beer
and rum ; but this time the woman refused to serve him, or
to sit with him, although he wanted her to do so. Being
disappointed in this respect he departed a second time ; but,
after being absent a short time, he returned in company with
a calico-printer from Crawshaw Booth, who gave the name
of Charles Holt, and again called for ginger-beer and rum.
Margaret Crabtree waited upon him this time, and on again
refusing to sit with him he seized hold of her in a demoniacal
passion, threw her on the floor, and with an old pair of com-
passes stabbed her in various parts of the body with the
utmost fury. The poor woman screamed "murder," and
assistance having been obtained the wretch was secured and
given up to the police. On being taken to the station-house
he said he was sorry he had not killed the b—h, bat he would
finish her sometime, if she did not die from what he had
already done to her.

Dr. Martland was immediately sent for to the woman, and
on examining her found no lees than eight wounds in different
parts of her body, one of which was beneath her left breast.
and was of a very dangerous nature. We are, however, glad
to say that she is recovering, and when she is able to appear
the viilanous fellow will be re-examined before the magis-
trates, (he was up on Saturday, and remanded,) and dealt
with, we doubt not, as his case deserves.-Blackburn Standard.
