Tn consequence of the extension of the business of tVIs Company, and tho numerous applications which hi.ye been made to increase the Capitil and to «-idoa iti operations by the issue of new Shares, add thereby increase the number nf HharehoMers, an extraordi nary Me-ting of shareholders was held on the Oth •■ instant whej the Company resolved to increase the CapiUl to One Million Pounds by the creation of 100 000 Shares of .-CIO each. Of these Charts it haa bte'n det»iminid to offer 5o;00O to tho public, the re maioicg f>o 000 Shares to be allotted to the present Shareholders in eschar-ge for their interest in the Company. The present Proprietor-! thus offer one half of the Company's interest for sale Tho Shares now offered to the public are of £10 each of which £2 is to be paid up ; tfcey will be sold at ci 10s each, or Fifty Shillings premium, payable as follows: ---£0 10 0 per share on application 10 0 ~ on allotment 10 0 „ on 31st May, 187.1 10 0 „' on 30th November, 1875 10 0 ~ on 31st May, 1870 £4 10 0 , .. One-half of tho sums to be paid trom time to time will be credited to Capital, excepting the lnst pay ment, wli^n 5a wi'.l go to Capitol, thus making the complete payment to Capital Account of £2 tcr share. Any sum received on account of Capital before tho 30th November next wiil be credited with interest at the rate of 10 per cent j er annum from tho dita of allotment to that date, and from that d.ite they will carry full dividend rate, and participate in all the future advantages accruing in proportion to the amount of capital paid. Any Shareholder may pre pay his instalments, and thereupon his prepayments after 30th November nett, will carry full dividend rate from date of payment. In case of default being made in payment of any instalment tho Directors to have full power to forfeit any Shares in respect of which such default is made, and to sell or otherwise dispose of them as they think fit.

The applications for Shares will be considered and allotted in order of date of application. Thq Directors do not bind themselves to allot any Hnrcs to any person they may consider not eligible as a Shareholder, and they may return tht application mouey to such applicant The present Proprietors will thus receive 60,000 bhares of £2 each, represented by the present paid-up capital of the Company ; the present Re-Insurance Fund of £40,000 will belong to the New Account, to begin from 30th November next, in which the New Shareholders will participate in proportion to the Capital paid-up. The new Shareholders' payments cf £2 per Share of capital will make the paid-up Capital £200,000 ; the Company will then stand with a Subscribed Cspital of £5,000,000, with £200.000 paid-up, and ja Re-Insurance Fund of £40.000. The Premium on the new Shares, and all the funds and property of theiCompany as it now exists over and above the present Paid-up Capital of £100.000, and the £40,000 Re-Insurance Fund will belong to and be divisible among the old Shareholders. The steady progress which this Company has made is well-known. The original amount paid by the first Shareholders was £4,845: an additional Issue of new sliares was made in 1802, aTid £3,372 was then capi talised, making in >11 £8,227. The Capital now stands at £100,000, it having grown to this amount from time to time out of profits In addition to this, a.nd 'ou: of profits also, a Be-Tnsurance Fund of £40,000 and a 'Reserve Fund of £35,000 have been added to the Company's assets.

The investments consists of Eeal Property, Mortgages, Bank, Loan Company, Gas, and other Shares, City Debentures. &c. The interest accruing- from these investments would pay on the proposed increased Capital of £200,000 a rate of inteiest ti the Shareholders equal to 7} per cent; that is to say if all the premiums were lost the Company would be able to declare a dividend of 7£ per cent, from the present invested accumulations ; • whereas the invested funds, when the present plan Is carried out, will begin with £240,000. Applications, accompanied by the payment of 10s on < ach share applied for, must be forwarded to the Agents of the Company, or to the Maßager at tr.e Head Office, Auckland, on or before the 10th day of October, 1874!
