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
il
that object can be accomplished; ow few have Assu-
rances upon their lives, and for ' the reason usually as-
signed is, " that they have not ad 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 fatigue and anxieties of commercial life. Hardly a
vessel leaves the Thames without the captain and passengers
of ships belonging to London 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

MILK PUNCH ROYAL
MANUFACTURER OF MILK PUNCH TO HER

MAJESTY.
PHIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for nearly a
I century, been duly appreciated at •
CHICHESTER AND THE METROPOLIS.
It was at the former place where the original projector of this
delectable beverage had his abode ; no doubtpie corporation
of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and marked
their approbation of this
GREAT DISCOVERY,
by presenting to him the freedom of the town ; but with that
the present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say,
that this ELIXIR _ _

is now, for the very first time, ini;Oduced to the notice of the
bon vivants of the northern parts of this great Kingdom for
their judgment.
It would be quite in vain to enter into any detail of its
excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed
of the best materials, without any adulteration, and, in
flavour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the
fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne ;
and while . _

..—THE LORDS OF THE CREATION
will find it an exceIIentGENTLERSEX addenda to the Dinner Table,
THE
may not disdain to sipTY, the more so as
has acknowledged its transcendant merit.
It has been intimated that it will prevent
SEA SICKNESS,
but of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the
" briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro-
prietors of
PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS
take the hint ? And although it may not produce that " con-
summation devoutly to be wished," yet, sure we are, its
grateful properties are such ax will be found to be an excellent
restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer
from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate,
and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence,
improves by age.

_
LE GRAND GOURMAND
will find it a most social companion to his Calepash and
Calepee, and the temperate man, while he masticates his
biscuit over a glass of it, will be constrained to eulogise this
incomparable Liqueur.
" Come and try,
Don't like—don't buy,"
is an old saying and a good one ; and as in matters of taste
every man is the best judge, this invitation is given in the full
assurance, that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the
palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst
the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.
