There is ho branch of commercial enterprise in New Zealand which presents such a favorable opening for the investment of capital as that of fire and marine insurance. The success which bus attended the establishment of the " New Zealand" and " South British" Companies h a proof of this. The business of fire and marine insurance is so rapidly increasing that I here is ample room for another Company in this colony. Largely increased facilities for covering this class of risk are imperatively required, and the National Insurance Company is founded supply this want. This Company is not started in opposition to any of the other New Zealand Companies, but is intended to co-operate with them in fostering the trade and commerce of the colony, and concentrating in the country the large capital which is annually drafted out of it by foreign insurance companios. In order to make this a purely colonial company, and to ensure a large amount of business through the influence of its shareholders, it is proposed to distribute the shares over the whole colony, and, in their allotment, to keep io view the ability of shareholders to influence business to the company. Sixty thousand shares will be reserved for the Northern Provinces. The operations of this company will be conducted on sound principles, and extreme caution will be exercised in tlie selection of risks. It is intended that the Articles of Association shall provide for tlao election of Local Boards of Directors by the shareholders in the chief commercial centres of the colony. The amount proposed to be called up will, it is estimated, be a sufficient paid-up capital to warrant the company in commencing operations, and it i 9 not anticipated that any further call will be necessary. Applications for shares will be received by the Secretary, at the company's temporary office, High street, Dunedin 5 and at the branches of the National Bank of New Zeaand in the various provinces.
