Notwithstanding that several new Marine Insurance Com-
panies have been established within the last few years, it is
generally recognised that the means of effecting marine in-
surances are not sufficient to meet the increasing expansion
of trade, insurers being now driven to effect their insurances
in remote towns in the provinces, in Ireland and Scotland,
and on the Continents of Europe and America.
The actual pric.; of shares in the existing Marine Insur-
ance Companies demonstrate clearly that the business is
highly remunerative.
Of th new Companies one only has been established in
Liverpool, and it has already secured a very large and lucra-
tive business.
More than half the exports and imports of the kingdom
pass through the port of Liverpool, and there is no doubt,
therefore, that another Company having its Chief Offices in
London and Liverpool will meet with ample support.
Wnder these circumstances the British and Foreign Marine
Insurance Company has been established.
The business of the Company will be confined to the issu-
ing of policies on freight and goods only, and it is expressly
provided, as a fundamental element in the constitution of
this Company, that no insurance shall be effected on the ships
themselves.

The principle of limited liability, as applicable to insurance
companies, came into operation during the month of Novem-
ber last. The Directors, observing that in banking and other
important commercial enterprises limited liability has met
with universal favour, have adopted it as an unalterable
principle in the present undertakin
t„...
The Directors, therefore, express he greatest confidence in
the success of this Company.
Such provision has been made by the Directors for the pre-
liminary expenses as will secure the Company against pay-
ing any promotion money.
A copy of the articles of association lies at the offices of
the Company for inspection.
The prospectus and forms of applications for shares may be
obtained of the brokers of the company. Application for
shares to be addressed to the Directors ; but no application
will be considered unless a payment has been made to the
bankers of the Company of fi per share, on the number of
shares applied for. This sum will be returned if no allot-
ment is made to the applicant.
