There is no branch of commercial enterprise in New ZeaUnd which presents such favourable opening i for the investment of capital as that of Fire and Marine Insurance. The success which has attended i- the establishment of the "New Zealand" and the i "South British ' Companies is a proof of this. The business of Fire and Marine Insurance is so i rapidlyincreasini? that there is ample room for another > company }n this colony. Largely-increased facilities i for covering this class of risks are imperatively re i quired, and the National Insurance Company is leunded to supply this want. This company is not started in opposition to any of ' the other New Zealand Companies, but:is intended tc co-operate with them in fostering the Trade and Commerce of the colony, and concentrating in the i country the large capital which is annually drafted out of it by foreign insurance companies. In order to make this a purely colonial company, and to induce a "arge amount of business through the Influence of its shareholders, it is proposed to distri bute the shares over the whole colony, and in theii allotment to keep in view ihe ability of shareholder! to influence business to the company. 40,000 Shares Will be reserved for Otago and South land, and the remainder allotted to the Northern provinces. . L ; | -,-, The operations of. the Company will be conauctec on sound principles, and' extreme caution will b< exercised in the selection of risks. ; It is intended that the Articles of Association shal > provide for the El ection of Local Boards of Director! by the shareholders in chief commercial centres of th( colony. , * ' ~, ~ . The amount proposed to be called in will, it i; estimated, make a Sufficient Paid-up Ca.pitax tc warrant the Company in commencing operations, am » it is not anticipated that A.NVT further Call will b< necessary. ~ . The Provisional Directors have secured the service of Mr A. Hill Jack, the present Resident Secretar; of the Victoria Insurance Company in New Zealand as Gestsral Manager of this Company. Applications for Shares will be received by th Branches of the National Bank of New Zealand i: the variou provinces, and by HENDERSON & MA.CFAELANE, 14 I !Queen-street, Auckland.
