APUBLIC MEETING •OF THE LIVERPOOL
AUXILIARY IN BEHALF OF THIS SOCIETY,
_ _

will be held (1). V.) in the Music HALL, BOLD-STREET,
on MONDAY EVENING NEXT, September 7th, 1840. The
Chair will be taken at Half-past Six precisely.
Several Clergymen and Lay Friends are expected to ad-
dress the Meeting.
The object of this Institution is to supply the Holy Scrip-
tures, at a reduced price, to the Naval and Military portion
of the community ; and possessing, as it does, the patronage
of Government, it thus enjoys peculiar advantages for carry-
ing on its operations among her Majesty's Troops, and the
Seamen of her Majesty's Navy.
Nor are its operations confined to this class of Men, for
one of its leading features is to visit our Seamen, from ves-
sel to vessel, who are engaged in the Merchant Service, and
on our rivers and canals, and also to supply every vessel that
floats with copies of the Scriptures gratuitously, as the pro-
perty of the ship for the general use of the crew.
And when it is considered to what an extent our Seamen
are precluded from the public means of religious instruction,
the necessity of supplying them with the Word of God is the
more apparent. It is, therefore, confidently hoped that all
those who are friendly to the circulation of the Holy Scrip-
tures, will attend and support the Society.
Liverpool, Sept. 3d, 1840,

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 reason usually as-
signed is, " that they have not had time to think of Life
Assurance." They have time for every commercial opera-
tion, however unimportant, but they have no time for one
transaction of half an hour, requiring only an annual pay-
ment afterwards, to place their families beyond the reach of
want after their death—an event rendered 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 Indies, and
to the great nation now rising up in Australasia, largely in-
debted to Liverpool merchants, but without Assurance noon
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.

ADVANTAGES PECULIAR TO THIS SOCIETY.

panies which do not offer participation in profits.

lute reversion, unincumbered by payment of premium.
A DESCENDING SCALE OF PREMIUM, under which, after
certain periods, payments cease altogether, but profits con-
tinue.
AN ASCENDING SCALE particularly favourable to those
who are looking forward to an increase of income, and entit-
ling Assurers to profits.
Two-thirds of each annual premium for the whole of life
may be paid, and one-third may remain at compound inte-
rest at 5 per cent.
A liberal system of conducting business, a tender of arbi-
tration in all disputed cases, and very moderate expenses of
management.
Naval and military service, voyages, and foreign residences,
at equitable rates of premium. _ .

ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGES TO EMIGRANTS.

CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS.
THE accounts lately received from Macao, brought intelli-
gence of the English having been totally expelled from
China, and that hostilities had actually commenced between
Her Majesty's forces, directed by her Superintendent
in
person, and Chinese men of war; in other words, China is
at war with England. And the questions upon which the
two countries are now at issue being of such difficult adjust-
ment as to render it almost impossible, and certainly impro-
bable, that any more teas can be obtained from China for a
very considerable period, a great rise in all descriptions of
that article has taken place. Since June last, common black
teas have risen Is. 9d., and fine green, 3s. per lb. Fine
Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late public sales, 9s. 7.d. per
lb. ; fine black teas as high as 6s. 7d., whilst up to this mo-
ment, Captain Pidding has continued to allow his teas to be
sold without any advance whatever. The late great rise,
however, having caused a run upon his teas by the trade, who
found that they could purchase them cheaper retail than
they could buy inferior teas wholesale, he is compelled to
raise the price, to prevent his remaining stock being purchased
by tea dealers. For the present, Captain Pidding's How-
QUA'S MIXTURE will be sold at the rate of 6s. 9d. per lb.,
being 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d. per lb., when
the commonest teas, since June, have advanced Is. 9d. per lb.
HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER will he sold, for the
present, at 9s. 9d. per lb., when even Hyson, an inferior tea,
is fetching, wholesale, 9s. 7d. per lb. Half and quarter
catties in like proportions.
Captain Pidding thinks it right to inform the public that
his Chinese correspondent states confidently, that there is no
probability of the trade opening with that country, for, at the
least, twelve months ; and as the entire stock of consumable i
tea n. Great Britain will be exhausted before that period,
there is little doubt but tea will advance daily.
These Teas consist of Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S
MIXTURE, of 40 rare Black Teas, ad HOWQUA'S
SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER' in Chinese Catty Packages.
N.B.—The signature of " Captain JouN RHODES PID-
DING" is upon every genuine package.
