PSECTUS.
The Committee of MerchßOantPs, Brokers, and others
Meeting, held at a Public held at the Mansion House, pp
on the
25th July, 1861, to consult with the combined Fire Insurance
Offices relative to the re-adjustment of their greatly increased
rates of insurance, have decided upon the establishment of an
independent Company.
Powerful support has been already obtained from the vari-
ous interests represented at that Meeting, and a Provisional
Board has been formed from leading commercial houses, and
others, who, by their influence and extensive connections at
once secure to this Company a large amount of profitable
business.
The first principles of the Company will be the establish-
ment of an equitable classification of risks, as regards both
Merchandise and Warehouses, and more liberal arrangements
than are now obtainable upon Floating, and Short-time Poli-
cies. A Scale of Rates will be adopted which, while fully re-
munerative, shall be sufficiently moderate to encourage a
Universal habit of insurance.
It is intended to reserve a Per-tentage of Profits for perio-
dical division amongst Insurers.
thThe Company will undertake the Insurance of Houses and
eir contents at equitable rates, this class of business having
long proved a large source of profit to the existing offices.
The Company will be strictly independen t in its operations,
and, road of the compreh-nsive princiole on which
the has been cmstituted, will address itself to every
class of Insurers.
The principle of Limited Liability will be extended to all
Insurances effected with the Company', by the introduction of
the usual cause limiting the amount of each Shareholder's
responsibility.
Power will be taken in the Deed of Settlement (with the
clisent of a Meeting of Shareholders) to extend the opera-
hereafter be thougoas of the Companhtydesirable to do sto Life and Maorine business, should it
