THIS Company haviog organized according to the

Insuranees against loss by Fire oh the mutual principle,
combined with the security of a joint stock capital--;
The advantage of this system is, that efficient securiti
is aflifrded at the lowest rairs that the business can be
done for, as the whole profits (less an interest not to
exceed 6 per cent. per annum on the capital) will be re=
turned to the members of the institution, without their
becoming sesponsible for any of the engagembnts or
li -
abilities of the Company, further than the premiums ae
tually paid. •
The great success which this system, has met with
wherever ft has been introduced, induces the Directors
to request the attention of the public to it, confident
