been avoided by the exercise of reasonable vigilance, com-
mon prudence, and ordinary skill.

The directors of the Mercantile Fire Insurance
Company are acting with a promptitude similar to
that which has contributed to place the Ocean

tory position. They have already appointed as
manager Mr. G. H. Whyting, who has been connected
with the Royal Insurance Company since its com-
mencement in 1847. Mr. William Ferguson, of
Robert Benson and Co and Mr. Charles Richard
Harford, jun., of Lloyds, have also been appointed
auditors. The letters of allotment of the under-
were delivered on Saturday, and some realisa-
tions being effected, the price has declined to 5-16 to
7-16 prem. It is understood that the applications
amounted to between double and treble the capital
of the company.
The following list shows the amount per- share
paid, and the present prices of the shares of some
of the leading Are insurance offices in London, and
demonstrates the generally profitable nature of the
business. There have probably been as many
failures in this class of business as in others, but
the cause et failure has in every instance been
clearly trapeable to error or absolute recklessness
in the amingsment.

its present shape has apparently been delayed until
the act of parliament has been passed by which the
turnpike tolls for all weights drawn by steam are
reduced to an equality with those for the same
weights drawn by horses. Highly satisfactory
testimonies are put forward respecting the general
value and the peculiar advantages of this means of
