TO THE ELECTORS OF RIVERTON. p ENTLEMEN,— I beg to offer myself as a CANDIDATE for the honor of being returned as your MEMBER at the approaching Election for the HOUSE of REPRESENTATIVES. I am prepared to support to the utmost a political separation between the two principal Islands of New Zealand, believing it the only step likely to end the ruinous war which has so long drained the resources of the Colony, and especially of the Middle Island. I deprecate as unnecessary and injurious, any conflict between the pastoral and ?r*?icultura interests ; but should circumstances force them into collision, my support would inhesitatihgly be given to the latter. I am, Gentlemen, Your most obdt. servant, CHARLES ROUS MARTEN. Martendale, Dec. 25, 1865. Insurance Companies. mHE QUEEN INSURANCE COMPANY. Chief Offices : Liverpool and London. CAPITAL, £2,000,000 STERLING. Fire and Life Insurance at moderate Rates, Endowments for Children, .Annuities, &c. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. ' The Times.— October 22. "At the annual meeting of the Queen Insurance Company to-day, at Liverpool, the Fire Premiums for the year were stated at £70,300, while those in fche Life Department were £16,352. A dividend at the rate of 8 per cent, was declared." Post Magazine. — October 24. "The Queen Insurance Company affords a fine example of how much pubhc confidence there is still in store for insurance companies, formed of a respectable body of proprietors, regulated in their action by directors of high commercial position and business experience, and managed by gentlemen possessing the ability and zeal so warmly eulogised by the chairman, and applauded by those of the proprietors who were present a the recent; meeting." Gore's Liverpool Advertise" — October 22 "So general was the feeling of satisfaction entertained by the highly respectable body of proprietors who thronged the board-room of fche Company at the result of the year's business, and so great was their confidence in the manage- j ment ot the Company and in the correctness of the accounts presented to them, that the most eloquent agitator in the world must have tried in vain to have removed the one or shaken the other." Insurance Record. — October 23. " It was our pleasure and privilege to be present at the annual meeting of the Queen Insurance Company. This company has made very rapid progress, and wfll unquestionably become one of the largest institutions in the kingdom. That ifc has succeeded in inspiring pubhc confidence is evident by the large influx of new business in both the Life and Fire branches during the financial year which has jusfc expired. The Directors' Report, which was received unanimously, was more than satisfactory. We had anticipated great things from the workings of the past year, but our mosfc sanguine expectations were more than realised by the result presented in that statement. The Bonus to be declared is aU that could be desired, and much more than might have been anticipated." Weekly Chronicle and Register. — October 24. " The state of affairs which the report discloses iB eminently satisfactory, and the Directors may fairly be congratulated on the success ofthe Company. A new plan for the allocation ofthe bonus has been introduced by the Directors, which cannot fail to become popular. They wfll grant separate free Pohcies for the amount of the reversionary bonus when required. This is a great advance upon the hitherto existing practice, for, under the ordinary system, the bonus is attached to the original policy, and stands or ££1118 wifch it.' Gore's Liverpool Advertiser.— October 29. (Second Notice) " The Queen Insurance Company now stands before the pubhc on one of the highest — we behove we may safely say the highest — pedestal ever occupied by an insurance company in the fifth year of its existence. The impression left on our mind by aU that we heard and saw at last Wednesday's meeting was that the * Queen' wiU go on largely extending its business in aU its departments, until it shah acquire a position as a Fire and Life Office second to none in the kingdom,"
