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 the life Depaaqmentwere £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 howmuch public 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 busmess 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 therecenfrmeeting."- ' Gore's Liverpool Advertise 1 * — October 22 "So general was the feeling of satisfaction entertained by thc highly respectable body of proprietors who thronged the board-room of the Company at the' result of the year's business, and so great was their confidence in the management of 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 tobe present at the annual meeting of the Queen Insurance Company. This company has made very rapid progress, and will unquestionably become one of the largest institutions in the kingdom. That it has succeeded in inspiring publio confidence is evident by the large influx of new business in both the Life and ;Fire branches during fhe financial year which has just expired. The Directors' Report/ wluch was- received unanimously, was more-than-satisfactory. We had - anticipated great things from the workings of the" past year, but our most sanguine expectations were more than realised hy the: result presented in that statement. The -Bonus to be declared is all that could be desired, and much more th*" - * might have been anticipated." ■ Weekly Chronicle and Register. — October. 24 "The state of affairs which the report discloses : is 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, whioh cannot fail to become popular: They will grant separate free Policies for the amount of the re-versionary-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 falls with it.' Gore's Liverpool Advertiser. — October 29. . (Second Notice) ■ ; "The Queen Insurance Company now stands before the publio on one of the highest — we believe we may safely say the highest — pedestal ever occupied by an insurance company in the fifth year of its existence. Ihe impression left on our mind by all that we heard and saw at last Wednesday^ meeting was that the 'Queen' will go on largely extending its business in all its departments, until it shall acquire a position as a Fire and Life Office second to none in the kingdom."
