The request the Public to aid them in resisting.
The c ndncessions made during last year, with respect to the
&honk( °n °f the hours of labour were these, that the men
leave onProe to 'work one hour later on Monday morning, and
lialf aril one hour sooner on Saturday afternoon, and to have
formed our allowed for breakfast during the winter, which was
bp j not taken, being two hours and a half per week given
byne i'.lasters, which, as the number of working hours ‘N as
tY sixty-two, increased the cost of the labour to the
The
four per cent.
~,111,e Bricklayers demanded that ould receil%e 2s. per
‘,7,k during the last winter than the previous winter,
iZalldemand, and a siwi one from the Labourers, was ge-
Y complied with': As the Bricklayers' wages were 245.
ili'week, the iddition of 2s. per week increased the cost of
sir labour to the Masters rather more than 8 per cent., and
Masters of the Labourers in a still higher proportion, so that the
hours,, from the concessions mode last year, in diminutionof
which was universal, are paying 4 per cent. more for
lab Our, Our, and an increase of wales, which was general, 8 per cent.
Inore, together 12 per cent.
..This year the following notice was ordered to be sent by the
Union to the Master Masons
" On and after the 9th day of March next, the hours of labour
In Liverpool and its vicinity, for the Stone Masons, shall be
limited to 54 hours per week, to be divided in the following
planner: to commence work at seven o'clock on Monday morn-
ling, and at six every other morning during the week, and to
leave work on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays,
had Fridays, at five o'clock, and on Saturdays at three, taking
an hour for breakfast, and one hour for dinner each day."
This further diminution of hours from 59-i to 54, (510 now
IlYnanded, would further increase the cost of labour to the -_,Lasters 10 per cent., making, with 12 per cent. already sub-
zlitted to last year, a total increase of 22 per cent. on the prime
Zast of labour, thus increasing its entire cost in all Buildings

tires!o leave off at twelve on Saturdays; as. their wages are.at
Creant 4s. 6d. per diem, the additional sixpence would in-
.e the cost of their labour 11 per cent., besides the half

THE Directors beg to announce that they continue
to RECEIVE PROPOSALS for FIRE and LIFE INSU-
RANCES.

The large Capital of the Company, and the number and in-
fluence of its Proprietors, enable it to rank with the most eli-
gible offices in the kingdom, with respect to the advantages
offered to the Public.

having the advantage of a resident Directory, will be enabled
to distinguish itself by its promptness in the Settlement of
Claims.
No Charge made for the Policy.

THE GUARANTEE OF AN AMPLE CAPITAL AND EXEMPTION
OF THE ASSURED FROM LIABILITY OF PARTNERSHIP,—The
Assured neither having to depend on an uncertain fund, nor
being in any way accountable for the payment of Claims.
MODERATE PREMIUMS.—The Company, in determining its
charges for Assurances, under the various contingencies, de-
pendant on human life, has availed itself of the experience of
the oldest and most prosperous London Offices, and of the re-
cent investigations on the subject, made by the most compe-
tent Mathematicians and Actuaries. Its TABLES OF PREMI-
UMS consequently avoid, on the one band, an UNNECESSARILY
'HIGH RATE OF PAYMENT BY THE ASSURED, and on the other,
THE DANGER RESULTING FROM INADEQUATE CHARGES.

LARGE PARTICIPATION OF PROFITS BY THE ASSURED,
amounting to TWO-THIRDS of its net amount, which may be
applied at the option of the party effecting the Assurance.
Ist.—By an immediate payment of the sum so apportioned;
2d.—By an equivalent reduction of the future premiums; or
3d.—By an equivalent increase of the sum assured.
SMALL CHARGE FOR MANAGEMENT.—The expenses of the
Office being borne in due proportion by the two branches.
PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS.—AII claims will be pay-
able within three months after satisfactory proof of the death
of the Life Assured. The Directors reserving to themselves the
power to discharge any claim immediately on its being estab-
lished.
RESIDENCE IN ANY PART OF EUROPE allowed without any
additional charge, and the EXTRA PREMIUMS charged for
voyage to, and residence in any other FOREIGN CLIMATE or
for NAVAL and MILITARY, or any other SPECIAL RISK are
fixed on a MODERATE BASIS.
POLICIES LAPSED BY NON-PAYMENT OF THE PREMIUM,
may be renewed within three months, by paying the premium
with a fine of 108. per cent., on the production of evidence to the
satisfaction of the Directors of the good state of health of the
Life Assured.

The Company will always be prepared to PURCHASE the Po-
LICIES Of this Office at their EQUITABLE VALUE.
Assurances may be effected when needed with the UTMOST
SECRECY AND DESPATCH.

No ENTRANCE MONEY, nor any charge except for the Policy
Stamp.

N.R. The usual Commission allowed to Solicitors.
• The Directors likewise announce that they have made
arrangements to GRANT LOANS to persons assured by this
Company, on Personal Security, or upon the Security of Assign-
able Property of adequate value; and to allow the assured
Credit of half the Premiums, for a limited number of years, as
may be agreed upon. PERCY M. DOVE, Manager.
