THE HONGKONG FIBE INSURANCE COM- PANY, which expires by effluxion of time in a few months, having proved a highly successful undertaking, it has been determined by a large number of its share- bolders to form a permanent Company, under the same management and with increased Capital

It is proposed to register the Company under the Limited Liability Ordinance, and the amount of the Capital having been. fixed at Two Millions of Dollars, it is con- sidered that Insurera will be amply secured? thereby, while at the same time each share holder will know the extent of his individual liability. The capital proposed to be called up stormints to a large suw, and provision will be made for the creation of an amplo Reserve Fund, which will, it expected,

It is intended to anticipate the termina tion of the Old Company, by dissolving it from and after the 3186 December uest, and esaures are being taken for that purpose.
