PRO.PECTI-A.

This Company is formed with the Taal object of uniting Into
one strong institution, with its chief once m Loudon. numerous
moan local and colonial institutions, requiring consolidation
and additional strength and resource.
The principle of so uniting small colonial Institutions has been
most successfully applied to colonial and foreign banking com-
panies . and as London is becoming daily more mil more the
great l• clearing.house" of the commercial world, the different
c.olonlal insurance othees have experienced the aloe Jute neces-
sity of being effectually represented Mime. and this representa-
tion theg now realise can only he fully secured, as in the case of
the colonial local hanks. through amalgamation with some Lm,lon
company of ample means and commanding general confidence.

Th-e-iiirectori of the Home mad toloniareimpany hove been
applied to by shareholders in these companies to establish such
Landon Institution, amt arc now in treaty with several very suc-
cessful colonial insurance oftieva either for entire amalgamation,
on very favourable terms, or for that beneficial re e:proeity of
aganc7 which will at once secure to the Horne and Colonial As.
MUIII3OO Company a most valuable. safe, and lucrative business
as a co-operative assurance conipany.
. .

It may be mentioned, as indhatite of the mimesis of the Colo-
nial insurance companies, that their selling prices range from
100 to as high as I,oue per cent. premium, and the increase of
insurance busineee lu the Australian, south African. Canadian,
and Easiest, battlements, is at a ruts of progress which has no
parallel In Earopean countrim.
The principle of assuring ineastments made through the
Company's agency—a principle so successfully carried out by
colonial ollam—will enter as a new feature into the objects of
the Hume and Colonial Assurance Company; and as In its
numerous agencies lu MI parts It will posaces peculiar facili-
ties for making assured Investments for Individuals In sound
foreign and 4xioalal securities. the Directors confidently antici-
pate, from the agency and insurance charged in this department
of their business, a very Lsr.• and steady revenue to their share-
holders.

While, however, the Home and Colonial Assurance Company
will specially direct its attention to foreign and colonial Itusineas,
It will not neglect at the woe time to cultivate a home business,
• department which will be greatly fostered through Its colonial
COntitlloll. it will also. as a rlre Amnesiac* Company, share In
that large inures.. of tire insurance betimes here which maybe
expected to follow the anticipated abolition of the heavy and
11311eUlttiC stamp tax at present imposed on piiciee of insurance.
No promotion money given hi connexion with this Company,
