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 tolling 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 ti e to think of Life
tiAssurance." They have time for ev y commercial opera-
tion, however unimportant, but they have no time for one
transaction of half an holm., requi g only an annual pay-
ment afterwards, to place their fa • ies 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 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.
