PROSPECTUS.

TN order to provide for the Inhabitants of Liverpool an
Education suited to their wants, upon the most moderate
terms, and, at the same time, to maintain indissolubly the
connexion between sound religion and useful learning, it is
proposed to found a New Establishment, to be called "TIIE
LiveiteooL COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION—FOR THE EDUCA-
TION OF THE COMMERCIAL, TRADING, AND WORKING
CLASSES," in which instruction in the doctrines and duties of
Christianity, as taught by the United Church of England and
Ireland, shall, for ever, be communicated in combination
with Literary, Scientific, and Commercial information. And,
with a view to the permanence 'of the Institution upon this ,
basis, it is intended that all its Officers, Professors, and
Masters, except the the Teachers of certain Foreign Lan-
guages, shall be members of the Established Church, but
that no distinction shall be made in the admission of Pupils,
and that only the Children of members of the Church of
England shall he required to learn the Church Catechism.
The more effectually to secure the assistance of all ranks
of society in accomplishing the objects of this Institution,
it is proposed that the instruction which it will afford
shall be given in three distinct departments, namely, two
Day Schools, and an Evening School. The system of
Educ Won proposed for the first school will include the
Classics, English Literature and Composition, Geogra-
phy, Civil and Ecclesiastical History, Modern Languages,
Mathematics, Natural History and Philosophy, Chemistry,
Drawing, and every other branch of useful learning. The
various classes will be placed under the care of able Univer-
sity Graduates, whose constant duty it will be to provide in
the most effectual manner for the great objects of education
—moral and religious training, the communication of gene-
ral knowledge, and specific preparation for the after-pursuits
of life. The instruction to be given in the second school
will be on a more limited and less expensive scale; but it
will embrace the various requisites of a sound general educa-
tion, so as to enable the pupils to enter upon the business of
life with advantage to themselves and the community. The
masters engaged in this department will be likewise carefully
selected, with a view to their literary and scientific attain-
ments ; and it is confidently anticipated that this division of
the Institution will become highly popular. The exercises
of each School will be commenced and terminated with prayer,
at which the attendance of every pupil will be required; and
the reading and exposition of the Holy Scriptures will form
a portion of the daily business of the Schools. The Even-
ng School is principally designed for the instruction and im-
provement of those whose education has been comparatively
neglected m early life ; but provision will be made in it to
enable young men to pursue particular branches of Classical,
Mathematical, or Commercial knowledge. Classes will be
organised for the study of Navigation, Geography, Nautical
Astronomy, Naval Architecture, and Civil Engineering, which
branches will he taught on a scale commensurate with their
growing importance to the interests of this port ;—and, with
a view of still further adding to the usefulness of these classes,
examinations of the pupils connected with them will periodi-
cally take place, and certificates of proficiency be granted to
them. Able masters will likewise be provided for the tuition
of students in English Grammar, Writing, Arithmetic, Ar-
chitectural, Ornamental and Figure Drawing and Modelling,
Chemistry, Natural Philosophy, and the modern languages,
as well as for the communication of such °thar learning as
may be calculated to enlarge their sphere of usefulness, and
render them happier and better members of society.
Independently of the Schools, it is intended that this In-
stitution shall possess a spacious Hall, in which popular
Lectures may be delivered from time to time. And as the
it is intended

dfldoiut
iroi snh

ha
er e a sduvpaptilei
Pu-
pils iu Literature, Science, and Art, shall be provided, and
suitable buildings erected for a Museum, Library, &c. on a
scale adapted to the increasing wants of the community.
To connect the Institution umre closely with the various
classes for whose improvement it is designed, and to secure
the services of the most efficient individuals in its manage-
ment, it is proposed that the general direction of its affairs
shallec t ebde
from
Merchants,
Professional
Men and
thirty-six persons, to be
el
Gentlemen, Tradesmen, and Mechanics. It is intended that

' the Committee, in the first instance, shall be elected at a
General Meeting of the Donors of £lO 10s. and upwards, to
be held on the first Monday iu January, 1840, and that its
future appointment, in such manner as may hereafter be
determined upon, shall be vested in one hundred Life Go-
venom, The first Donors of £lOO or upwards, on or before
the first Monday in January, shall be Life Governors, and
they shall meet on that day to complete their number, if
necessary, and to elect seven Trustees for the Land and Pro-
perty. The Governors shall also fill up vacancies in their
own body and in that of the Trustees. The Committee shall
form a Code of Laws, Rules, and Regulations for the future
government of the Institution, upon the principles previously
stated, and revise, amend, or alter the same from time to
time ; but no Laws, Rules, or Regulations, shall be made or
altered without the sanction of two-thirds of the Governors,
who may he present at a Meeting specially convened for that
purpose after seven days' notice, and consisting of not less
than twenty-one Meinb:rs.
To erect an Institution worthy of Liverpool, and adapted
to its growing wants, a considerable sum of money will be
necessary, and it is confidently expected that the determina-
tion already evinced in this town, to maintain Scriptural
Education in connexion with the Established Church, will
lead to the speedy contribution of the required amount.
Donors of 4:500 or upwards, will be entitled to become Vice •
Presidents of the liistittition for life, with peculiar privileges.
Those Ladies who may contribute £lO 10s. or upwards, and
Gentlemen £25 or upwards, will be styled Honorary Life
Members, and a division :if the Lecture Hall will be espe-
cially reserved for their accommodation. A Donation of
£lO 10s. or upwards, in one sun, from a Gentleman, and of
£5 ss. or upwards, from a Lady, will constitute them Mem-
bers of the Institution for life, with certain privileges. Do-
nations under £5O way be paid in two yearly instalments,
and aboiit'4* 'a ;.;u, ye..ilc iustAhrents, of which the first
shall 1-.. e due ou she Ist January, 1840.

WEST OF ENGLAND FIRE AND LIFE INSURANCE

COMPANY.
" Empowered by Act of Parliament.
CAPITAL, X 600,000.

President—The Right HonoUrable the Earl of DEVON.

FIFTH DIVIDEND TO THE INSURED.

PERSONS insured against Fire to the extent of £3OO and
upwards, whose Policies continued in force at Christmas,
1837, and ho had then been insured Two Years at least,
are hereby informed, that the Fifth Dividend, calculated on
the Nett Amount of the Premiums paid by them, from
Christmas, 1832, to Christmas, 1837/ is now payable at the
Company's Office in Exeter, and byte Agents with whom
the Insurances are effected, or renewed.

FIRE INSURANCES continue to be granted on the
above plan of admitting the Insured into a participation of
the Surplus at the end of every Fifth Year, from which the
Public have already derived considerable returns.
LIFE INSURANCES.—A Bonus has been declared on
Policies, by adding to the Sums Insured, payable at the de-
cease of the Life, or an equivalent reduction of the future
Annual Premiums, at the option of the Insured. This ad-
vantage, added to the reduced rates of Premiums, renders
the terms of this Company particularly favourable to the In-
sured.

This Company's business is still increasing, and the esti-
mation in which the Institution is held, may be inferred from
the fact, that, as a Fire Office, it ranks the Seventh in the
Kingdom ; and, as a Life Office, the extent of its business is
not inferior to that of the first-rate Companies.
The Company does not pride itself on account of the large
amount of Government Tax levied on the Public, in the shape
of Duty on Fire Insurances paid to the Company, but rather
refers, with satisfaction, to a measure in which the Insured
are beneficially interested—namely, the large return made to
them out of the Premiums paid, as the following Statement of
Policies, amongst many others, which are now receiving the
Bonus attached thereto, in the Liverpool department, will
prove :
