Notwithrtanding that several new Marine Insurance Com-
panies have been eftabliatted within Ina lad few years, It is
generally recognised that the means of effecting marine laser.
anew are not sufficient to meet the increasing expansion of trade,
insurers being now driven to effect their Insurances in remote
towns in the provinces, la Ireland and Scotland, end OU the
Continents of Europe and America.
The actual price of shares In the existing Marine Insurance
Companies demonstrates clearly that the business is highly re-
munerative. . . .

Of the compaolcs one only has been established In Liver-
pool, and It has already secured a very large and lucrative bust-
..

More than half the exports and Imports of the kingdom pass
through the port of Liverpool. and there is no douln, therefore,
that another company having ita chief offices is Loudon and
Liverpool will meet with ample support.
Under these circumstances the British and Foreign Marine
Insurance Company has been established.
The business of the Company will he confined to the issuing of
reticle. on Freight end Goods only, and it is expressly provided,
as *fundamental element in the constitution of this Company,
that no insurance shall be effected on the ships themselves
Ihe principle of limited liability, as applicalile to Insurance
companies, came Into operation during the month of November
last. The Directors, observing that, in Winking and other im-
portant cosunereial enterprises, limited liability has met with
universal favour, have adopted it us an unalterable principle In
the present undertaking.
The Directors, therefore, express the greatest confidence In the
success of this Company.
Stich provision has been made by the Directors for the pre-
Bodnar expenses as will secure the Company against paying any
u mosey.
A Copy of the Articles of Association lies at the Offices of the
Company for Inspection.
