THE LIVERPOOL FIRE AND LIFE INSURANCE

COMPANY.
REDUCTION OF PREMIUMS

THE Directors Hereby Give Notice, that relying upon
the assurance which has been given, that before the
commencement of the next Winter the New Water Works
will be in efficient operation throughout the Warehouse
District of the Town, they have determined, in conjunc-
tion with the other Offices, and in anticipation of that
event, to make a very large REDUCTION in the RATES
of INSURANCE for Mercantile Property in Liverpool.
It has been the constant wisluttlie Directors, in con-
ducting the affairs of the Coropiriy, to consult the conve-
nience and interest of the/Public, as the most effective
method of promoting dyer; own ; and, in becoming parties
to the Tariff establisittd in June, 1843, they were influ-
enced not more by a desire to protect the Shareholders,
whose entire property is liable to fulfil the engagements
of the Comp•my, than bya conviction that the improvement
in the construction of the Warehouse Building=, and in
the management of the Merchandise therein deposited,
which that Tariff was calculated to bring about, would be
of great and permanent benefit to the commercial pros-
perity of the port.
The progress which was observable in the alterations of
the Warehouses in July of last year appeared to the
Directors to justify the modifications in the Scale of
Premiums which, with so much satisfaction to the com-
munity, they then carried into effect; and, believing that
the great additional security consequent on the possession
of an abundant supply of Water, always available for
immediate use in case of accident, will be obtained before
another Winter sets in, they do not hesitate to make
those reductions at once, which it was intended should be
effected so soon as there was a reasonable probality that
the Water would be introduced.

The particulars of the change may be know❑ on appli-
cation at the Office.
