There is no branch of commercial enterprise in New Zealand which presents such favourable opening far the investment of capital as that of Fire and Marine Insurance.1 The suco'esfi which lias attended the- establishment of the "New Zealand" and the "South British ' Companies is a proof of this. The business of Fire arid Marine Insurance is so rapidlyincreasinp that there is ample room for another corrtmTny 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. .it)lliv> j i 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 oyer the whole colony, and in their allotment to keep in view the ability of shareholders ti influence business to the company. . {40,000 Shares will be reserved for Otago and South land, and the remainder allotted to the Northern provinces. . ■ ; ' .• , I The operations of the Company will be conducted oh sound principles, and extreme caution will be ckercised'in the selection of risks. ■ r fit IS intended that the Articles of Association shall ptovMe. for the Election of Local Boards of Directors by the shareholders ia^ chief commercial centres of the i 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 itJis not anticipated that asv fubtiieb.
