This Company is est bitched in order to afford to the agents
and connections of the Albert Life Assurance Company,
founded in 1838, an opportunity to combine the transaction
of Fire and Marine Insurance with that of Lite Assurance.
The Albert Life Assurance Com; any has a share capital of
£500,0u0 fully subscribed, and has an income from premiums
of upwards of £250,000 par aunum, and during the last three
years has issued new policies of assurance to the amount of
£2,573,979, the premiums D
E upon which amount to £108,556.
F IRE PARTMENT.
The Agents, Policyholders, and Sha.eholders of the Albert
Life Company necessarily form a conneAion of the most
influential character for a Fire and Marine Insurance Com-
pany.
The annual increase in the wealth of the country and in
that de.t,c.iption of property known as " Insurable Property,"
has suggested the formation of t-evcral new Fire Insurance
Offices, but the Directors of this Company believe that in
very few instances has a Fire Company started with the
same chances of success as attend the introduction of this.
The Company will have the advantage of the co-operation
of a trained and pertectly organised system of ats, awl
the Directors submit, therefore, th .t there there is acertainty
Of securing almost at once a large and profitable bus uess.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer having intimated his in-
tention to reduce the duty one-half on sttck in trade, a large
additional numb :r of fire insurances will, no doubt, be effected
by persons who have hitherto been deterred from insuring
for the full value of their stock by reason of the heavy duty.
The following table shows the present value of the shares
of those Fire Companies which are in alliance with Life Com-
antes :
