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 bond fide Company of Local Shareholders. The Standard Fir&. 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 tho Shares over the whole Colony. _ 2, An interested body of Shareholders," to ba * i secured by the utmost care being'dxercisod in allotting Shares to persons known to be insurers and bond fide traders ; and '3. Careful and economical management. The promoters believe that an issue of 50,000 Shares wiU, for some time to come, meet all the purposes of the Company; and they purpose that of this number 30,000 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 I the allotment of Shares. Applications for Shares will ba received by Geo W. Binney, Queen street, Agent for Province of Auckland, and deposits to be lodged at tho various brandies of the Bank of New Zealand throughout tho Colony.
