It is proposed to register the Company auder the Limited Liability Ordinance, and the amount of the Capital having been fixed at Two Millions of Dollars, it is con- sidered that Insurers will be amply secured thereby, while at the same time each share- holder will know the extent of his individual

The capital proposed to be called up amounts to a large sun, and provision will be made for the creation of an ample Reserve Fund, which will, it is expected, in a very slut time accumulate to an amount practically to give the fellest sect rity both to Insurers and Insured, irrespec- tive of the unpaid.
