'PHIS Company is prepared to insure at premiums beneath those of any other similar association in this Colony, whose rates hitherto have been so excessive as to prevent many from taking advantage of the benefits of

Insurance. The Capital consists of Two Millions Sterling, divided into the same number of Shares of £1 each, upon which the sum of £.250,000 sterling has been actually paid up and invested in the British Funds, &c. This Society is therefore based on the soundest of all principles, and is much more secure than any other company, who have comparatively only a few proprietors. The Profits of the Company are divided as follows— To the Insured .. Two-thirds. To the Shareholders.. .. One-third. All are therefore interested in its extension, which is the main cause of the extraordinary success it has met with. Farm Steadings, &c., insured at a very low charge.
