This Company is est blished 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 Life Assurance.
The Albert Life Assurance Company has a share capital of
£500,000 fully subscribed, and has an income from premiums
of upwards of X 250,000 per annum, and during the last three
years has issued new policies of assurance to the amount of
£2,573,979, the premiums upon which amount to 2108,558.
FIRE DBPARTMENT.
The Agents, Policyholders, and Sits; eholders of the Albert
Lite Company necessaily form a connectilnsurance
of the most
influential character fora Fire and Marine Com-
pany.
The annual increase in the wealth of the country and in
that desol iption 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 periectly organised system of agents, and
the Directors submit, therefore, th t there there is a certainty
of securing almost at once a ,arge and profitable business.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer having intimated his in-
tention to reduce the duty one-half on stuck in trade, a large
additional numbs r of fire insurances will, no doubt, be effected
by persons who have hitherto been deterred from insuring
for the full value of tneir stook 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 DEPARTMENT.
Notwithstanding the recent establishment of several ma-
rine insurance companies, and the extensive business they
have acquired, there is .mple r om for the safe and profitable
employment of capital in tnis direction. The vast increase in
ttie shipping iiljerest of the United Kingdom, together with
the growing felling in favour of the security afforded by Joint
Stce& Companies as compared with private Underwriters,
point to the opening which exists for this department of the
ompany's operations.
The services of an able and experienced Underwriter will
be secured, and a large business can at once be obtained for
the Company.
The following statistics of a few of the present Marine In-
surance Companies show the present value of the Shares of
those Companies, and the highly successful nature of such
business :
