There is no branch of commercial enterprise in New Zeal/vnd which presents such favourable opening fer the investment of capital as that of Fire and Marine Insurance. The success which has-attended the establishment of the "New Zealand" and the "South British" Companies is a proof of this. The business of Firo and Marine Insurance is so rapidly increasing 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 Now Zealand Companies, but is intended to co-operate with them in fostering the Trado and Commerce of the colony, and concentrating in tho 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 tho 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 of Local Boards of Directors by tho shareholders in chief commercial centres of the colony. ■, Tho amount proposed to be called in will, it is estimated, moke a Sufficient Paid-up CAMTA_>to warrant tho Company in commencing operations, and it is not anticipated that any ruiiTJTEa 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 Gek jbral Manaobk. of this Company. Applications for Shares will be received by the Branches of tho National Bank of New Zealand in the various provinces, and by HENDERSON & MACFARLANE, 14, Queen-street, Auckland. NATIONAL FIRE AND MARINE IN SURANCE COMPANY OF NEW ZEALAND. nhHE Share Lists throughout the X. Colony will be CLOSED on MONDAY, 22nd September. HENDER9ON & m a.OFARLANE.
