This Company has for its purpose the transaction of the
important and remunerative business of Fire Insurance,
and that only, to the exclusion of other branches of busi-
ness not unusually associated with it, under the same direc-
tion, and operating on one and the same capital. The
Directors are satisfied that the scope for the business of fire
insurance presented by this country and its dependencies,
is as a commercial speculation, deserving of paramount
atlention ; and, the contract being one terminable annually,
the profits or loss arising determine in like mner, year by
year, and exhibit at once a company's financial position
and its resources.
While the partial remission of the fire insurance,
able
now in the contemplation of Government, and applcable
only to the insurance of stock-in-trade, will afford a com-
paratively limited relief from the onerous oppt for everression, they
Directors have resolved to allow upon paymen
policy, and afterwards at each renewal, an immediate draw-
back, which, in many instances, will amount to a total ex •
tinction of the entire duty of three shillings per cent.
To the public at large, and to the greater proportion of th
ge e
manufacturing and mercantile community, this arr an-
ment will prove a highly acceptable advantage. Theofer draw-
back allowed by a few of the older offices by way p
tentage on premiums, at intervals of years, is of im-
portance only to those who are rated at premiums ranging
chiefly from one guinea per cent. upwards, end is partici-
pated in only by those who may have premiums to be re-
newed at the period of the making of these returns; whereas
by the principle adopted by this Company, the owners of
the classes of risk of the more ordinary occurrence, are
they who will be the more substantially and at the same
time promptly benefited.
The concession to be thus made to the public will cer
thinly be the means not only of increasing in their respec-
tive amounts insurances now existing, but of multiplying
to a very large extent the number of insurance contracts in
this country and its colonial connections.
The insurable property in this kingdom alone, including
its enormous and increasing importations fromarisin the
wise interchange of tariffs, is believed to approximate to
£5,000,000,000, whereas £1,300,000,000 only is insured ;
thus leaving nearly three-fourths of the insurable amount
altogether unprotected from loss.
It would be difficult to find any class of investments which
has yielded such large profits as the shares of well-con-
.ducted fire offices. The shares of the older offices have in-
creased in value immensely, being, in one case, at a pre-
mium of about 1,300, and in another of nearly 2,000 per
cent. on the sums originally paid up. The increased value
of the shares of offices established within the last 20 years
tends at from 80 to 200 per cent.
It is under these circumstances, and considering the im..
mense field presented for operations to come, that the direc-
tors have taken advantage of so favourable an opportunity
to offer to the public the benefits of the principle of business
now adopted by them ; and they have every reason to
believe that by its special feature and the public support
which that must necessarily invite the undertaking will
speedily be productive of the best mone4ary results.
The executive will be entrusted to officers of tried experi-
ence in e usiness of fire insurance, and the directors have
already the
matubred arrangements for the immediate establish-
ment of five hundred agencies.
The directors desire to give the most unqualified assur-
ance to the public that nothing of the nature of frivolous
objections to a prompt and liberal settlement of claims for
compenTation will ever be entertained or countenanced by
them.
Forms of application for shares may be had at the offices
of the Company, or of the Brokers, Bankers, or Solicitors.
In the event of no allotment being made, the deposit will
bo returned in full.
