certainty of their Dividends, and to Shippers of all descrip-

Establishment of first-class Steamers, and the lowest rate of
freht compatible with due attention to their maintenance.

" Liverpool, May 24, 1841.
" We, the undersigned, having, this day, witnessed the
testing of one of Milners' Patent Fire-proof Boxes, by its
having been placed in a large fire, consisting of wood and up-
wards of six hundred weight of coal, for the space of two
hours and twenty minutes, do hereby express our conviction,
that the fire-proof boxes manufactured by them are a perfect
security in all cases of ordinary fire. The box was filled with
commercial and other books, papers, parchments. and deeds,
(one of which, of the 16th Henry Vill., had five large thick
seals appended to it,) and within an inch of the cover, seve-
ral Bank of England notes ; and, previously to being closed,
was submitted to the examination of J. S. Leigh, Esq., R.
Frodsham,
Esq., L. Graham, Esq., and others present. The
whole contents in the box being taken out of the fire and
opened in our presence, were found to be in a perfect state of
preservation, the seals attached to the deed above-mentioned
not being in the slightest degree injured.
" This certificate is written on the deed of 16th Henry
VIII., above mentioned, which was submitted to the test.

Maj. Gen. Sir J. L. Lushington, G.C.8., Deputy Chairman.
Medical Officer for Liverpool, Alex. Hannay, M.D.,
Great George-square.
" The Asylum Company" (says the historical sketch of
the various Life Offices) " grant Assurances on Select Lives
on Lower Terms and under a greater variety of modes than
any other Office." The following are some of the leading
features and facilities of this Institution :

RENEWABLE TERM POLICIES.—The new system
now offered by the Asylum Company enables parties to
secure the utmost advantages with the smallest possible out-
lay, by allowing Policies to continue in force for the whole of
Life, whatever the future state of health of the Assured.
AN ASCENDING SCALE OF PREMlUM.—Com-
mencing with a small rate for the first year ; an increased
rate from the Bth to the 15th year, and a fixed rate afterwards.

A DESCENDING SCALE, by increased payments at
the commencement, and gradually diminishing the rate until
there is nothing further to pay.
LOAN ON THE POLICY.—This Office allows the
Assurer to retain one-third of the Premium from the very
commencement, charging him interest at the rate of 4 per
cent. only : he is never called upon for the arrears, but may
pay them up whenever he pleases.
FOREIGN ASSURANCES.—Assurances are granted to
any part of the world, and it is a peculiar feature of this
Office that the Assured has the right to proceed to, or reside
in any foreign country, on payment of an extra rate.
PERSONS OF ADVANCED AGE, PECULIAR
FORM, OR INFIRM HEALTH, &c., and who would be
rejected by other Offices, are assured at moderate rates.
he following are extracted from the Tables, as specimens
of the Rates for an Assurance of £lOO.

DESSERT FRUITS.
JMIDDLEWOOD respectfully informs his Customers,
• Friends, and the Public, that he is now prepared to serve
Desserts to any extent, with a variety of Fruits, not to be
equalled in England. His Pines are of superior quality.
Melons, Peaches, Grapes, with every choice English Fruit,
in Season. A few Forbidden Fruit, also French Pears of all
the most approved sorts. His fine Imperial Blue Raisins,
for Desserts, 3s. the Box. The finest Muscatel Layers, in
Boxes and Half Boxes. New Jordan Almonds and Portugal
Plums, in Boxes, 2s. 6d. each. His Filberts, Cob Nuts, and
Walnuts, prepared for keeping, are the best sample that
could be procured in London.
J. M. begs respectfully to inform his Friends and the Pub-
lic, that his Establishment, patronised for 40 years by Roy-
alty and the Nobility and Gentry of the surrounding Coun-
ties, is an advantage which few Fruiterers can boast of. His
extensive connections with Growers of Fruit renders him able
to meet every competitor. His Pines, which were placed before
his late Majesty, were pronounced the finest ever beheld. Also
his Forbidden Fruit, which could not be equalled in the
kingdom, has met with the same flattering praise by her Ma-
jesty Queen Victoria this summer.
J. M. begs to offer to Country Dealers, &c., Grapes in
Barrels and Boxes, of superior quality ; Portugal Onions in
Boxes ; also 20 Barrels of fine Portugal Quinces, for preserv-
ing Marmalade, &c. ; fine Jamaica and East India Preserved
Ginger ' • Limes and Tamarinds; Ditto Jamaica ; fine Shad-
dock Marmalade, Guava Ditto, and Jelly.
Just landed, a few Quarter and whole Cartoons of New
French Plums, Pomegranates, and Spanish Melons.
Middlewood's celebrated Botanic Oil for the Hair, UP
3s. 6d., and ss. per Jar.
To prevent an idea that where all the Choice Fruits are
sold, Inferior Fruits are not to be had at moderate prices,
comparison is the best test, and J. M. will sell good Foreign
Grapes, legal weight, at 6d. per lb. Olives, Capers, and a
great variety of Pickles and Sauces at London prices.

AN APPEAL FOR A. POOR CURATE NEARLY
BLIND.

BOWIE friends of the Rev. J. W. Gowring, in considera-
tion of his very afflicted case having, without his know-
ledge, begun a private subscription in his behalf, it has been
determined to bring it before the Christian public, in the
hope that something will be done towards the support of a
very able minister of the Church of England, whose eyesight
has completely failed him for most of the duties of his office.
For, although he is just able to see his way in walking, he
cannot discern the largest print, nor indeed any object what-
ever distinctly ; and it is the opinion of his medical advisers,
that the case may even end in total blindness.

As his mental and bodily powers remain unimpaired, and
as his knowledge of Scripture is considered very extraordi-
nary by every one who hears him, it is possible that, by and
by, he may meet with some occupation in the Church—as a
lectureship, where the reading of the Church Service would
not be required of him ; and for this kind of duty he would
be admirably adapted by his gift of extempore preaching.
He was compelled to resign his Curacy, where he was fa-
voured by many privileges, and surrounded by almost every
comfort for four years. He has sought the most eminent
advice in the kingdom, and still his sight is becoming gradu-
ally worse, so that he felt it right no longer to remain in a
situation where an assistant curate has been maintained for
some time, for the sole purpose of affording him every possi-
ble means of recovery.

He is left without the least means of support. except .C 7
a-year, arising from sums invested in the Savings' Bank, and
except such as may be afforded him by friends. Relations
he has none to rely upon, and the little property which he
was expecting through his wife will probably be lost to his
family by the conduct of an attorney. He closes a statement
of his case to the Bishop of Ripon in these words :
" I am in my thirty-first year, and have a wife and one
child three years old ; and unless the Lord in his good Pro-
vidence should see fit to provide something for our support,
I know not what is to become of us, as we have not a single
relation who is at all able to assist us, and the stipend arising
from my present curacy will cease in about a fortnight.
" The prospect before me is but a melancholy one asto
temporal concerns, and yet I feel persuaded that my present
affliction is sent by the Lord for some wise but mysterious
purpose. In the midst of all my trials my mind is not par-
ticularly disturbed, as I firmly depend upon the word of
Jehovah, ' Trust in the Lord, and do good ; so that thou
shalt dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.' "
