PROSPECTUS.

This company is forme I w h the special object of uniting
into one strong institution, with its chief office in London,
numerous small local and colonial institu ions, requiring
con solidat on and addhional strengto and resource.
The principle of so uniting small colonial institutions has
been most successfully applied to colonial and foreign bank-
ing companies ; and as London is becoming daily more and
more the great "clearing house" of the ommercial world,
the different colonial insurance offices have experienced the
absolute neces ity of being effectually represented there, and
tile tepresentation they now realise catronly be fiir Y secured,
as in the case of the colonial local banks, through amalga-
mation with some London c-,mpany of ample means and com-
manding general confidence.
The directors of the Home and Colonial Company have
been applied to by shareholders in these companies to estab-
lish sue i London institution, and are now in treaty wi h
several very successful colonial insurance offices, either for
entire amalgan.atioa, on very favour ible terms, or for that
beneficial reciprocity of agency which will at once secure to
the Home and Colonial Assurance t ompany a most valuable,
sate, and lucrative business as a co-operative assurance com-
pany.
It may be mentioned, as indicative of the success of the
colonial insurance companies, that their selling prices
range from 1 0 to as high as 1,000 per cent. premium, and
the increase of insurance busines 3 fn the Australian, South
African, Canadian, and Eastern settlements is at a rate of
progress which has no parallel in European countries.
The prmcip e of assuring investments made through 'he
comp ny's agency—a principle so u,ces,fully carried out by
colonial offices —NIT I enter as anew fe ure into h objects of
the "Home and Colo ilia! Ass It ance C mpany ;" nct as is
I is numerous agencies in all parts it will possess pecu iar
facilities for making assured investments ior individuals in
sound foreign and colonial securities, the Directors confi-
dently anticipate, from the agency and insurance charges in
this department of their business, a very large and steady
revenue to their shareholders.
While. however, the Home and Colonial Assurance Com-
pany will specially direct its attention to foreign and colo-
nial busin ,ss, it will not ne,2lcct at the SUM time to cultivate
a home business—a department which will be greatly fos-
tered through its colonial connection. It will also, as a Fire
Assurance Company, share in that 1 urge increase of fire in-
surance business here, which may be expected to follow the
anticipate! abolit'on of the heavy and imp •litic stamp tax
at present imposed on i ()Ides of insurance.
No promotion money given in connection with this Com-
pany, and the Lirectors' remuneration to be left to the share-
holders.
Applications for hares to be made in the fo'lowing form,
copies of which and of the prospectus to be had of the solidi
tore, or brokers, or acting secretary of the company.

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
This Company has been formed for the purpose of pur-
chasing and extending the valuab e and old-established
Ship-building and Engineering Business of Messrs. Smith
and Rodger, Glasgow, a firm well known on the Clyde, dur-
ing the lost quarter of a century, as successful build,rs.
There is probably no branch of industry which has been more
profitable in Scotland during the last few years than ir..n
ship-building, and when the great advantages possessed by
Glasgow and its vicinity are considered, the rapid and in-
creasin- expansion of the trade in that neighbourhood is not
surprising,.
The Clyde possesses great advantages, compared with the
Thames, in the lesser cost of coals, iron, and wages ; while
the skill and industry of the scotch artisans are universal y
acknowledged.
Although several Shipbuildin,, Companies have been
established in the vicinity of London and Liverpool, whose
operations have been attended with great success, the busi-
ness on the banks of the Clyde has hitherto been exclusively
carried on by private enterprise, and the large fortunes
accumulated by Scotch shipbuilders are a guarantee of
what might be expected from the working of a Com-
pany possessing ample means and influential body of Di-
rectors.
A great element in the success of this Company is the fact
that there will be a London Board, ready t a contrite' tor the
various and impor ant contracts of the British and Foreign
Governments, an I the large Shipping Companies, whose
orders are naturally first placed in hand in London, and
which are much more likely to be secured by the infinence of
a metropolitan directory than by the application ot a provin-
cial shipbuilder.
he Articles and Memorandum of Association may be in-
spected at the Solicitors of the Company, Messrs. Dawes
and Son, London, and Messrs. Lamond andMacluckie, Glas-

gow.

TEETH.--Mr. ESKELL'S INVENTION in
the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the
following advantages :—A set of teeth, of excellent work-
manship and mechanism, can be made and fitted with the
most perfect accuracy and success, in a few hours, without
pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or tstenings, and adapt themselves so perfectly to the
gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad-
just hese teeth to many changes of the mouth without the
aid of a dentist They are not so liable to injury, are always
useful, and will last a lifetime. Comfort guaranteed. Trea-
tise explaining Mr. Eskeil's Patent, &c., free for 7 stamps.
