This Company is established for the purpose of supplying to the thriving ar-d increasingly important colony of New Zealand those advantages which are already enjoyed by the colonies of Australia and Canada, .by the Trust and Loan Societies now existing. Its operations will consist of loans and ndvances on mortgage upon leal stcurity in New Zealand, for which the system of public registration of land estab lished there affords great facility, with perfect safety. ._ ■ ■ The Compnny will also be prepared to make advacees on securities of a substantial character, including those to municipal bodies upon their bonds; It is not. proposed thnt more than £5 shall be called upon each £25 share (of which £i will be sufficient for present purposes), but that to the extent of the. remaining £20 per share, the Company shall exercise its borrowing powers for procuring money in Great Britain upon debentures for terms of years at a fixed rate of interest. This money will also be lent in the same manner as the paid-up capital, and the lenders will be protected both by th securities taken and by the subscribed but uncalled capital, which will itself be equal to the entire amount borrowed. New Zealand offers peculiarly favo able opportunities for operations of the nature proposed; the prosperity of the settlers enables them to employ with profit large sums of money at rates of interest considerably higher than those ordinarily current in Eng,land; the simplicity of the local Jaws affecting real e'tate affords a safe and inexpensive mode of granting security; and property is" of steadily improving value, as the energies of the icolonist, the increase o population, and the resources of the colony itself be come further developed. :■• Thpse circumstances, and the successful operation of Companies of this description in other colonies, justify th 'directors in anticipating an amply remunerative return to Shareholders.1' - , - THE LIVERPOOL AND LONDON FIRE AND j LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.-) i■ ■■ JStnpoieered by Actspf Parliament. ,;j Established,, in 1836.
