The following important notice has recently been Issued at London:—"The committee of Lloyd's beg to call the attention of merchants to the fact that, in all cases when they may have to make claims for loss or average on their policies, it would very much facilitate a settlement by their underwriters if they would instruct their consignees, in the abience of special provision In the policy, to call in Lloyd'j agent at the port of arrival, with a view to his conducting the necetaary eurveya and a»ioising the damage sustained; It is believed that a clause, insisting on the employment of surveyora appointed by underwriters, baa been Inserted in the polioies of most American and Continental marine insurance companies. While Bnglish underwriters do not make this measure compulsory, consignees should be aware that claims will probably be settled In this country with greater readiness :if they are properly supported by the certificates of a Lloyd's agent.
