This Company is est ,blished %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 Company has a share capital of
£500,000 fully subscribed, and has an income from premiums
of upwards of .£230,000 per annum, and during the last three
years has issued new policies of assurance to the amount of
£2,573,879, the premiums upon which amount to £108,150.
FIRE IMPARTMENT.
The Agents, Policyholders, and Shareholders of the Albert
Life Company necessarily form a connection 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 desotiption 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 there there is a certainty
of securing almost at once a urge and profitable bus,liess.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer having intimated his in-
tention to reduce the duty one-half on sLck 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 Lull value of their stock by reason of the heavy duty.
The following table shows the present value of the shares
of those Fire Companies whim are in alliance with Life Com-
panies
