This Company is est Wished in order to afford to theagents
and connections of the Albert Ltfe 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 Company has a share capital of
£500,000 fully subscribed, and has as income from premiums
of upwards of £250,000 par annum, and during the last three
years has issued new policies or assurance to the amount of
£2,573,979, the premiums upon which amount to £108,558.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The Agents, Policyholders, and Shareholders of the Albert
Life Company necessarily form a connection of the most
influential character for a Fire and liar/tie Insurance Com-
pany.
The annual increase in the wealth of the country and in
t hat description of property known as " Insurable Property,"
has suggested the formation of several 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 perfectly organised system of agents, and
the Directors submit, therefore, th .t there there is a certainty
of securing almost at once a large ani profitable business.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer having intimated his in-
tention to reduce the duty one-half on stock in trade, a large
additional number 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 LifeCom-
panics :

MARINE DEPARTMNT.
Notwithstanding the recent establishment of several ma-
rine insurance companies, and the extinsive business they
have acquired, there is ample rcom for tIP safe and profitable
employment of capital in this direction. The vast increase in
the shipping interest of the United Kingdom, together with
the growing feeling in favour of the security afforded by Joint
Stook Companies as compared with ovate Underwriters,
point to the opening which exists for this department of the
Lompany's operations.
The services of an able and experlened Underwriter will
be secured, and a large business can at Gm be obtained for
the Company.
The following statistics of a few of theP resent Marine In-
surance Companies show the present woe of the Shares of
those Companies, and the highly sneeeeful nature of such
business :
