This Companyls organised in response to the wish of a large number;of capitalists.merchants, and others, who have already promised a con siderable amount of support.and with the intent of offering to the general body of the public, a further opportunity of .becoming' as far as possible, their own insurers. The increase of insurable property in this Colony has been po rapid that there is. in the opinion of the promoters, ample scope for the operations of another Company. The Fire and Marino Insurance Companies already formed have met with such great and unvarying■ success, that it is quite unnecessary to refer to the profitable nature of such under takings, but it may be pointed out that this Colony is subject to natural conditions singularly favourable to insurance business. One of the most important considerations involved, is the distribution of risks, Avhich is here secured through the division of population, and, conse quently, of insurable, property amongst numerous centres as yet but sparsely occupied. The large proportion of substantial buildings now being erected may also be noted as a feature favour able to the limitation of risks in this enterprise. One of the most, profitable branches of Marine Insurance is in interprovincial and intercolonial Imsiness. a large proportion of Avhich the pro moters have reuson to rely upon. In the allotment of shares, the Pi-CA-isional Director, will endeiiA-our to secure an equitable distribution throughout the Colony, so as to combine a powerful association of investors for the security of the'assured, together Avith per sons likely to influence business. Agencies will be opened throughout the colony as speedily as possible, and local Directors ap pointed. The Chief Office is established at Christcliurch The folloAj'ing gentlemen will hold office as Directors until the first annual meeting, when they will retire in accordance with the articles of Association:—Messrs .J.
