BANKERS: , Tho National Bank of Now Zealand. SOLICITORS : Messrs Smith and Anderson. INTERIM SECRETARY: Mr Richard H. Loary. There is no branch of commercial enterprise in New Zealund which presents such favourable opening for the investment of capital as that of Fire and Marine Insurance. Tho success which has attended the establishment of the " New Zealand" and the "South British ' Companies is a proof of this. The business of Fire and Marine Insurance is so rapidlyincreasine that there is ample room for another company in this colony. Largely-increased facilities for covering this class "of risks are imperatively re quired, and the National Insurance Company is founded to supply this want. This company is not started in opposition to any of the other New Zealand Companies, but is intended to co-operate with them in fostering the Trade and Commerce of the colony, and concentrating in the 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'large amount of business through the influence of its shareholders, it is proposed to distri bute the shares over the whole colony, and in their allotment to keep in view the ability of shareholders' 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. . The operations of the Company will be conducted on. sound principles, and extreme caution will be exercised in the selection of risks. It is intended that the Articles of Association shall provide for the Election oi Local Boards of Directors by the shareholders in chief commercial centres of the ' colony. The amount proposed to be called in will, it is estimated, make a Sufficient Paid-up Capital to warrant the Company in commencing operations, and it is not anticipated that an? fuether Call will be necessary. The Provisional Directors have secured the services of Mr A. Hill Jack, the present Resident Secretary of the Victoria Insurance Company in New Zealand, as General Manager of this Company. Applications for Shares will be received by the Branches of the National Bank of New Zealand in the various provinces, and by HENDERSON & MACFARLANE, 14, Queen-street, Auckland.
