Pleuro-pneumonia or lung disease, and other diatom-
-I°,,,se_rlllB (attributable, amongst other things, to inefficient
Wails of transport), has long engaged the attention of

(tlbe'lnised depots, with pasturage, &a., will be provided for
~,reception of the Company's stock.
0 dairymen this Company holds out great advantages, by
"'Porting Spanish, Jersey and other cows, which have an
established reputation as good dairy stock. The grazier will
dist? be benefited by the importation of young and well-eon-
„ toned animals at a moderate cost; and to the consumer
the object of this Company will be of the highest import-

This Company has for its purpose the transaction of the
roPortant and remunerative business of Fire Insurance,
"(1 that only, to the exclusion of other branches of busi-
item not unusually associated with it, under the same direc-
t; and operating on one and the same capital. The
'rectors are satisfied that the scope for the business of fire
insurance presented by this country and its dependencies,
'Bl as a commercial speculation, deserving of paramount
attention ; and, the contract being one terminable annually,
the profits or loss arising determine in like manner, year by
3'ear, and exhibit at once a company's financial position
and its resources.
While the partial remission of the fire insurance duty
how in the contemplation of Government, and applicable
only to the insurance of stock-in-trade, will afford a com-
.Dparatively limited relief from the (menus oppression, the
irectors have resolved to allow upon payment for every
lziolicy, and afterwards at each renewal, an immediate draw.
°,iek which, in many instances, will amount to a total ex
tinetion of the entire duty of three shillings per cent.
To the public at large, and to the greater proportion of the
'manufacturing and mercantile community, this arrange
ent will prove a highly acceptable advantage. The draw-
k allowed by a few of the older offices by way of per
°enraga on premiums, at intervals of years, is of im-
,rtance only to those who are rated at premiums ranging
c"i‘RY from one guinea per cent. upwards, and is partici-
pated in only bythose who may have premiums to be re-
newed at the period of the making of these returns ; whereas
