There is no branch of commercial enterprise in New Zealand which presents such a favorable opening for, the investment of Capital as that of Fire aiad Marine Insurance. The success which has . attended the establishment of the New Zealand and South British Companies is a proof of this. , . The business of Fire aud 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 risk are imperatively required, and the National Insurance Company is founded to suppV this want. This Company is not started in opposition to any of the other New Zealand Companies,: but is intended to co-operate with tb em in fostering the trade : and commerce of the Colony, and concentrating m the country the large catntal which is annually drafted out of it by foreign Insurance Companies. In order to make this a purely Colonial Company, and to ensure a large amount of business through the influence of its shareholders, it is proposed to distribute the shares over the whole Colony, and, in their allotment, to keep in view the ability of shareholders to influence business to the Company. 60,000 shares willbereservedfor the northern Provinces. The operations of; this 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 the shareholders in the chief commercial centres of the Colony. The amount proposed to be called up will, it is estimated, be a sufficient paid-up capital to warrant the Company in commencing operatioEs, and it is not anticipated, that any further call will be necessary. ; The Provisional Directors have' secured the services of Mr A. Hill Jack, the Resident Secretary of the Victoria Insurance 1 Company, as General Manager of this Company. '.-:■.' v. Applications for shares will be received by ti W.
