The application of the Joint-stock principle to Marine
Insurance has proved eminently successful, and the de-
servedly high price of the shares of the existing Marine In-
surance t ompanies clearly demonstrates the great confidence
which the public have in such undertakings.
Under proper management, the safe acd highly remunera-
tive nature of such business is well known ; and although
several new Marine Insurance Companies have been esta-
blished within the last few years, there is not the slightest
doubt that, from the increasing expansion of the trade of
this country, the existing channels are not sufficient to meet
the wants of the mercantile community.
The recent reports of the existing Marine Insurance Com-
panies show what great progress they have made, and in fact
there is scarcely an instant of a properly constituted and well
man Ted Marine Insurance Company having been otherwise
than steadily successful snd progressive.
Durin tne uarter of a cm tury the exort trade of
this country haslast moqre than trebled itself. which is shown by
the following figures, extracted from the accounts of the
Board of Trade :
Toe declared value of the exports and manufactures of the
United Kingdom was—
In 1834 £41,(49,191
In 1844 5,584,292
In 1854 97,184,726
In 185 , •
• • 130,440,427
In 1860 135,89 ,227
The value of the foreign and colonial produce exported from
this country has also increased in an equally satisfactory
ratio.
The shipping clearing out from British ports in the foreign
and colonial trade alone increased from 2,165,099 tons in 1831
to 1 ~70),162, in 1862.
A very profitable field for Marine Insurance has sprung up
during the last fifteen years by the immense increase ,n the
importation tf gold and silver to this country, and the ex-
portation of the same to other parts of the world. At the
present date the Bullion trade of the United Kingdom exceeds
sixt' million pounds sterling per annum, and this is irres-
pective of the very large rums passing through private firms,
of which no account appears in the official returns.
It is somewhat remarkable that none of the large London
Marine Insurance Companies have as yet established
branches in Scotland; and in establishing a branch of the
English and Scottish Marine Insurance Company at Glas-
gow, the Directors propose to take advantage of this un-
touched field.
Hitherto the principal marine insurance business of Glas-
gow and the other ports of Scotland has been effected through
the intervention of London brokers ; and, considering the
obvious evils and inconveniences of such a system, it is sur-
prising ft has been tolerated so long.
The amount of tonnage owned in Glasgow Is very great,
and for many years past the trade of the port has been in-
creasing very rapidly, as will be seen from the following
statistics :--
Customs Revenues collected at Glasgow.

Harbour of Glasgow.

In 1833 .. .. • • .. 1,437,072 tons.
In 1862 • • • • • • • • 3,061,284 tons.
It must also be borne in mind i hat a very large portion of
the export and import trade of Glasgow passes thro. gh
Liverpool, to and from which it is carried by railway, and
such shipments, of course, do not appear in the Custom House
returns, altitou....h the insurance of them would naturally be
done in Glasgow, were proper ficilitie• afforded on the spot.
The Clyde, it is well known. is also the largest shipbuild-
ing district in the world, and this trace is rapidly being aug-
mented.
From the promises of support which the Directors have
rec. ire,i from influential houses, they entertain the greatest
confidence In the success of the undertaking, the Directors
having" been able to secure the services of thoroughly quali-
fied underwriters, who already clmrnand an extensive con-
nection. There will therefore be no delay in the commence-
ment of the Company's business.
The head offlo will be in London, where, as well as at
Glssgow, the business will be carried on, on the principles
adopted by the leading marine insurance companies.
The following staiistles of a few of the present marine in-
surance companies show the highly sue ce-sful nature of such
business when conducted with proper management:—
