THE ROYAL INSURANCE COMPANY, ii 29, LOMBARD STREET. LONDON, end ROYAL INSUB kNCE BUILDINGS, LIVERPOOL.• CHAIRMAN IN LIVIIRPOOL—CharIes Turner, Esq. CHAIRMAN OF LONDON BOARD—Sainnel Baker, Esq. The Royal Insurance Company Is one of the largest Fire Offices In the kingdom. At the Annual Meeting of the Bth instant the following highly satisfactory results were shown : FIRM BRANCH. In 1855. the premiums were .£130,00 In 1856 In 1857 From which it appears. therefore, that wh the year 1856 showed an increase of 21,6731., the year 1857 furnishes a farther advance of 23,2851, tog ether making an increase of Fire Pre. miums alone of naarly4s,oool. in the last two years. It is believed that ONLY THREE OFFICES NOW EQUAL THE ROYAL in Fire Revenue. The increase upon the Duty paid by this Company in 1857 on Fire Insurances is no less thou 5,1201. No two London Offices equal, in their united increase of Duty for that year, the additional amount oontributed by the Royal Insurance Company. LIFE BRANCH. The progress of this department has been most remarkable, as evinced in the following statement : In 1855, the premiums arising from New Life Policies were 25.600 18 6 In 1857 " amounted to 210,370 8 6 It will thus be seen that the NEW Business of the past year nearly doubles that of two years since. This is mainly come. quail upon the LARGE BONUS declared in 4855. which amounted to no less than 21. per cent. per annum on the sums assured, and averaged 80 per cent. on the premiums paid. PERCY M.
