THE NEW ZEALAND INSURANCE COMPANY.-To-day the New Zealand Insurance Company commences business with its increased capital of £1,000,000 of which £200,000 is paid up, while there is a re-insurance fund of £40,000 provided for. The extraordinary success of this Company has been so frequently a subject of remark that there is littlo need to sing ita praises in a repetition of figures, or to record iv tabulated columns the rapid strides it has made year by year biucc 1659. The establishment of new offices in the colony has in no degree lessened its business, as was proved by the last half-yearly balancesheet, in which it was shown that, notwithstanding the increased competition, the premiums for the half -yen r ending 31st of May last amounted to £63,216, or an increase of £15,790 upon the preceding half-year, and an increase of £11,495 upon the corresponding half-year of 1873. The rapid progress of the company since its establishment fourteen years since, when in 1859 its premiums only amounted to £5390, to its present standing, when its premium receipts were, as per last half-yearly statement, £107,643, is matter of history in commeiciU circles. It is not, therefore, surprising that public confidence should be so fully established, that the additional shares have been ■0 readily taken up, notwithstanding the aspersions attempted to be cast upon the legitimacy of the proposal to increase tbe company's capital by the issue of new shares. We have already pointed out what we believe to be the occasion of the success of the New Zealand Insurance Company, and this we repeat. It is due te the fact that the Local Board of Directors have a large interest in the conceru, and are therefore natuially anxious that the affairs they have essayed to conduct shall be carried out in a successful manner, and tberefoie it i> that the proper conduct of the institution receives a large amount of caie and attention at their handsAdded to this, as we have already shewn, their business has month by month been progressing, is now spread over a wide area, and the great progress of the colony has also contributed largely to the progress of the company. We need scarcely tell our readers that we have ever been the steadfast advocates of the support of local efforts to meet local demands when the business can. be dono as advantageously as otherwise. It is therefore, extremely satisfactory, that we have the opportunity of pointing to the ■uccess of this and like local institutions, which hupply acknowledged wants and are carried on with an energy and business tact equal to any, and superior to many, similar institutions outside the boundaries of the colony. — New Zealand Herald, Dec. 1.
