The success which has attended the establishment of the existing Insurance Companies in New Zealand ; the large and increasing field for Insurance offered by the progressive increase ot buildings throughout the Colony, and shipping on the Coast; and the growing desire evinced by the public to support Local Com panies, furnish' sufficient proof that there is ample room for the establishment of a purely Colonial and boiul fide Company of Local Shareholders, , The Standard Fire, and Marine Insurance Company has therefore been established, and the •-. Provisional Directors have decided that the following shall be distinctive characteristics of the Company :— : 1. A really Colonial and National position, to be . secured by an equitable distribution of the ' Shares over the whole Colony. 2., An interested body of Shareholders, to be secured by the utmost care being exercised in allotting Shares to persons known to he insurers and pond fide traders ; and 3. Careful and economical management. The promoters believe that an issue of 50,000 Shares will, for some time to come, meet all the purposes of the Company; and they purpose that of this number 3m,000 Shares shall be set apart for allotment over the Northern Provinces. The Directors have unanimously decided to place themselves on an equality with other .applicants as to the allotment of Shares. ' ! Applications for Shares will be received by.Geo. W. Binney, Queen street, Agent for Province of Auckland, and deposits to-be lodged at the various branches of the Bank of New Zealand throughout,tho Colony.. A B EID GE D.

INTERIM SECRETARY : " • James Mills, Esq. i '; This Company has been formed for the purpose of providing more efficient steam communication between the different ports of New Zealand-the want of which has been much fjalt" for some time past, and which' is becoming. more berceptible as the growing trade of the colony is developed. • It is desired to establish a weekly line of Steamers between Otago and the principal Northern ports, to put on a Steamer between Dunedin and the West * Coast Ports of the Middle Island, and also to provide for,the efficient conduct of the trade to and from the several smaller. Ports on the Coast of Otago and Canterbury. For these purposes the following new vessels will be required :— Three first-class Steamers for the trade between Dunedin and Manukau, to be built in Europe, and capable of carrying from 400 to 500 tons of cargo, fitted with compound engines and the latest improvements, and with superior ; v passenger accommodation, suited to the re i ■ '. quiremeritsofthe present day. These steam erg \ ■ will be of such cla^s and speed as will ensure every facility to shippers of goods and con venience to the travelling public. . | One boat of smaller capacity and light draft of water, especially adapted to the trade to the ( i West Coast of the Middle Island. \ With a view to commencing operations without delay it has been arranged to take over, on the Ist o January next, the steamers Maori, Beautiful Star, ar.d Samson, belonging to the Harbour Steam Company's, fleet, and'also their new steamer just built on the Clyde specially for the Timaru and Lyttelton trade, . and which is expected to arrive in the colony early In February. These vessels will at once create a revenue for the Company, and, it is believed, will be sufficient to carry on the tradevof the ports on the Coasts of Otago and Canterbury. Mr James Mills, who has so successfully conducted the busines of the Harbour Company from its com j ,mencement, will continue to act as Manager of this Company. ; '; . f It is estimated that to carry out these proposals a ; capital of £150,000 will be required, and to provide , for this it is proposed to call up £4 per share, making i a total of £100,000, and to borrow the remaining i £50,000 on debentures bearing a low rate of interest. > This arrangement will enable larger dividends to be I declared on the paid-up capital. Out of the total number of shares, the proprietors of the Harbour Company will take 7,500 paid up to : ■ ;the extent of £4 each, and the remaining 17,500 are now offered to investors. ' ••' ■' ' *T] In recommending this investment to the public, the Provisional Directors may_state that large pro fits are now being made by steamers on the coast of ... | New Zealand, and they are therefore confident that o' 'by the employment of vessels of the character mdi, ., cated, fitted to work with the utmost economy, and 'q meet the growing traffic without undue strain, the 1 \ Company will be able to secure ample profits, and at the same time promote trade and the convenience ( , of the travelling public by . providing j improved "»; '^facilities and accommodation-at •reduced-rates. n Applications for shares will be received by the In terim Secretary, at his office, Harbour Chambers, Dunedin ; and by Messrs Miles and Co.. Hereford- . street, Christchurch ; at the office of the National Bank of New Zealand, Auckland; or Messrs Hender son & Macfarlane, Agents. ) ■■■■„.'■ -, ■' i • ' J ',■';.'
