FIRE BRANCH. of . The Premiums... of the year 1863 reached the stun ...... .... £341,668 Being an adva tace of over 1862; a n an aount 40,977 of increase exce e di ng th at of any pre vious year. The Revenue from Fire Premiums has been en hanced in four years by the large sum of £113,353 'The Duty pa id to Government in 1862 was £75.993 Ditto ditto, 1863 88,966 Showing l'n Increase in one year of .... Among the: incidents which have tended to the advance ment of' the Royal within the last few months may be reckoned its action with respect to the losses sustained by the explo alon of the Ti Sleigh, which although only con4stent with the general mat el tenor of the cond uc t o f t h e Company, and ulti y prov ed to be no more than what had been done in for atter times by the oldest and most proverbially honourable among its contemporaries, yet attracted attention and public favour by largestesitating promptness. As the total of Revenue and the largest ratio of prog,rmsion have been attained in the present year, so it happerm that the largest Profit which it has ever fallen to the Directors to record has likewise on this occasion to be an nounced. The balance of net profit on the year has amounted to X. 53,515 • of which su m £ 34,100 only has been appropriated to Dividend and Bonus, and the large balance of £49,444 been Carried to Reserve. LIFE BRANCH. The progress of the Life Branch, as shown by the N ew :Business trans ac t e d in the last year, is most promising, and the advances made, year by year, in the amount of New In surances effected, show clearly the estimation in which the Company is held. The following is a statement for the last five years : Net Sum Assured on New Policies after deducting Guarantees. Net Premiums 1859 ........ £434,470 11 10 .. £13,086 . 0 5 1860 . ....... 419,241 16 2 1861 ........ 521,101 17 0 18 0 1863 . 186 2 ........ 701,4715 ....... 752,516 18 10 This rapid growth, amounting to 73 per cent. on the Sum Assured, and upwards of 80 per cent, on the Premium re ceived in the course of five years, may justly be considered as 4arger than any which could have been reasonably expected. 'The first half of the current year 1864, however, far outstrips the ratio of increase indicated by the figures just quoted, as the sum assured for that period of six months only actually exceeds Half-a-Mil ion sterling. The rate of Mortality, likewise, still presents highly favour able features, and augurs well for the result to be shown by the quinquennial investigation, which is to take place when the present year is concluded.

This Company is an extension of the Credit Foncier (Limited) and of the Credit Mobilier (Limited) which were established, the former for financial business in connection with land, the latter tor general financial operations. The unexampled success achieved by those companies, whose reports, just published, show the amount of net profits,upon a paid-up capital amounting jointly to £lOO,OOO, to be at the rate of upwards of 190 per cent. per annum, and who have each declared a dividend and bonus of £2 per share on £5 paid for less than six months' working, besides carrying £40,000 to the reserve fund, and the enormous ac cession of business of both companies render it absolutely essential to increase the capital, and thus enlarge the basis of their operations. With this view it has been determined to found the pre sent powerful institution, which will absorb the two com panies, and will take over the whole of their assets, includ ing their united reserve fund, amounting to £40,000. and will also of course assume their engagements, and the Directors believe that the increased means the issue of new capit d will place in their hands will enable them to effect even greater results than have been already achieted. The distribution of the shares will be made in the follow • ing manner, by which it will be seen that a liberal propor tion has been appropriated for allotment amongst the gene ral public. 10,000 Shares will be issued to the shareholders of the Credit Foncier (Limited) at par. in exchange for the like number of shares now held by them. 30,000 Shares will (at their option) be allotted to the share holders of the Credit Foncier (Limited) (being at at the rate of three new shares for each share held in that Company), which will be issued as follows, viz. : —Two of such shares at a premium of £2 13s 4d per share, and for every two shares so taken one additional share at par. 10,000 Shares will be issued to the shareholders of the Credit Mobilier (Limited) at par, in exchange for the like number of shares in that Company now held by them. 30,000 Shares will be allotted (at their option) to the share holders of the Credit Mobilier (Limited) (being at the rate of three new shares for each share held in that Company), which will be issued as fol lows, viz.:—Two of such shares at a premium of £2 13s 4d per share, and for every two shares so taken one additional share at par. 20,000 Shares will be issued to the public at a premium of £2 13s 4d per share. 100,000 The total premium on the above mentioned shares will amount to £160,000, which, with the sum of £lO,OOO, the amount of the reserve funds of the Credit Foncier (Limited), and of the Credit Mobilier (Limited), will be carried to the reserve fund of the amalgamated Company, which will then amount to £200,000. The amount to be called up, viz., £5 per share on the shares issued at a premium, together with the £2 13a 4d per share premium thereon, to be paid by the following instal mats : On application £1 per share, to be carried to capital account. On allotment, £2 per share, of which £1 to be carried to capital account and £1 to be carried to premium account. 10th December, 13s 4d per share to be carried to pre mium account. 10th February, 1865, £1 13s per share to be carried to capital account. 10th April, 1865, £1 108. per share to be carried to capi tal account. The amount to be called up, viz., £5 per share on the shares issued at par, to be paid as follows, viz.:— On application, £ 1 per share; on allotment, £1 per share; 10th February, 1865, Ll 10s. per share; 10th April, 1865, £1 108. per share—which will be carried to capital account. But as all the shares will participate in the next divi dend declared, pro rata, according to the amount paid up, the valuable option has been reserved, enabling all allot tees to pay up the instalments immediately on allotment, or at any time in advance of their being due, up to £5 per share. The total amount of paid-up capital will be £500,000, and the reserve fund will amount to £200,000. The following is a comparative statement of the estimated value of the undermentioned shares as represented by the current prices on the Stock Exchange, viz : 6; 7 4 , Q • .

Bd. per share; but, taking the premium of the last-mentioned company as the moat analogous to this Company, it having been amalgamated only two months, it will be seen that their price of £3 10s, per share (which is far below their intrinsic worth), added to the £2 premium in this Company's reserve fund, gives £5 108, per share, or £2 16s, Bd. bonus on the price of issue. The above prieea are quoted as they are given in the Stock Exchange List, but it is generally admitted that they by no means represent the full value of the different shares quoted, the prices of which ought to, and will doubtless be, much higher.

Gentlernenv—the Directors will hot batted from the shareholders t.1,„3 gratfficatioh they experience at this, the first mul l ' of their Mehra, and they trust this feeling will be p..v.iared these on whose behalf they have been under oaken. It is elicited that equal results,considering thelimited Capital at their disposal and the short time it has been in their battle, have been attained by few, if any existing com panies bf whatever description. This result, satisfactory as it must be even to the most expectant investor, is not that which gives your Directors the only cause for congratulation; the high position yotir Companies have been able to take up, not merely with the general public, but with that portion of the financial and mercantile body whose approval and co-operation is a posi tive pecuniary gain, is equally satisfactory. The feeling of having secured this compensates alike your Directors and executive for the:great amount of time, anxiety, and attention the affairs of the companies have required from them ; these labours have been further enhanced by the great want of capital in their hands, the amount of which they have felt has been more in the nature of a sum for experimental using than as indicating a capital worthy of a finance company bearing such a title as yours. You are doubtless aware that during the period just gone through we have taken part in establishing several public companies, all of which your Directors have reason to think will be found useful and profitable in the several branches for which they were formed. They would especially refer to the Imperial Bank of China, India, and Japan, whose share holders will reap an established position much earlier than theylcould possibly have expected, an amalgamation having been arranged for it with an existing first-class bank, having a similar field of operations; this has been successfully negotiated through the influence of your:Companies. Another, also, of the Companies established by use and n which we take a great interest, is The City Offices Com pany, which (although, as is usual, imitative schemes have since been introduced) promises to fill a want much felt in the City, and with profit to its proprietary. A loan of £300,000, for five years, on behalf of this latter Company, bearing 5 per cent. per annum interest, has also been successfully placed by your Conapaulee, and from the , • o o o <A 0 r 4 02 02 • zii •-• to o .-• tit o o .4 le. e. 6, .58 4- , c) oc., .4. 5c 7 .....t, . -.7.!...a - ...1,,, PA 4 co 4 , 41d ------ // Q ) 1 ' - .7 • ;.- 1 ". -.. /------.."'........__ ..•••;d i N • • - '; ~. .'j .ii-. - 77-: % • -. ..-+ 9.1 C • -- -. . p'..: - -,)4 ' ... : 1,. . , " ,"' r•-• , ..,;k 1 (/ 'l l . ~....-iiiik& ...._, , . ••e- .... - . dil. - .4011117,1 _ A ''.

The Directors, thus far, have spoken of the past ; they are happy in being able also to allude to the future in terms of great confidence, having several very important negotia tions and transactions in progress which they have reason to believe will produce highly profitable results. Your Directors are glad to be able to announce having secured suitable offices for the Company, at 17 and 18, Cornhill, on the ground, lower, and upper floors, the alterations and improvements in which are now being made, and will be completed by Michaelmas next, where our business may be transacted with the convenience and regularity absolutely indispensable. The Directors new wish to bring formally before the Shareholders that which doubtless they have heard alluded to for some time past, for the Directors, acting under the evident wish of the Shareholders, have made no secret of their own desire to amalgamate The Credit Foncier and The Credit Mobilier into one powerful company ; which, besides removing the anomaly of two distinct bodies of shareholders being represented by the same directors and manager, will enable the organisation of the whole to be more economical; the Foncier Branch for financial operations in connection with land, and the Mobilier Branch for general financial busi ness, will, as departments, however, be still dis tinct: and the Directors in anticipation of this fusion, have undertaken all operations as near as possible jointly, so as to leave the profits and liabilities as equal as possible. Re solutions to carry this amalgamation into effect will be submitted to you immediately after tfie ordinary meeting. Your Directors further, on the supposition that the sb are holdersjoin with them in the desire to mate the new amal gamated company second to none of the financial companies now in existence, and with a wish to make it worthy of the title it is proposed it should have, viz.—THE CREDIT FONCIER and MOBILIER of ENGLAND (Limited), have fixed the capital at £2,000,000 in 100,000 shares of £2O each, which the Directors propose issuing as follows, viz. -20,000 shares will be issued at par to the holders of and in exchange for the existing 10,000 Credit Foncier and 10,000 Credit Mobilier shares-30,000 shares to be issued to the holders of the 10,000 Credit Foncier shares, being three new shares for one share now held in that Company —which will be issued as follows, viz.—two of such shares at £2 13s. 4d. per share premium, and for every two shares so taken one additional share at par-30,000 shares to be issued to the holders of the 10,000 Credit Mobilier shares, being three new shares for one share now held in that Company, which will be issued upon the same terms as to the holders of the 10,003 Credit Foncier shares viz.—two shares will be issued at £2 13s. 4d. per share premium, and for every two shares- so taken one ad ditional hare at par—and the remaining 20,000 shares to be issued to the general public at £2 13s. 4d. per share pre mium. This issue will yield in premiums the sum of £160,000, which, with the £40,000 already put to the re serve fund from this half-year's profits, will make that fund amount to £2;0,000, or £2 per share on the whole 100,000 shares which will then have been issued. The instalments for paying up the new shares are arranged to extend over a period of seven months so as to make the payments as little burdensome as possible ; but as all the 100,000 shares will participate in the next dividend pro rata, according to the amount paid up, the option has been reserved to the shareholders to pay up the instalments at any time, or at once up to the £5 per share. The paid-up capital will then amount to £500,000, and the reserve fund to £200,000 ; and with this result the Directors believe they a:e justified in anticipating that the influence of the new Company will be materially augmented. The leading features during the past half-year have been the high value of money, and the number of joint-stock companies that have been introduced to the public. Vai iota causes have contributed to the former, nor are any signs to be observed of a probable return to much lower rates ; with respect to the companies introduced, though undoubtedly they have been very numerous, it is hoped that the majo rity of them are prospering ; and with respect to the capital absorbed by them, it is believed that it has been subscribed by that increasing class of investors who wish to participate in the higher rate of dividend trading companies with limited liability yield, as compared with the old forms of investments, much the same, as no doubt will be found to be the case if the limited Private Partnership Bill, intro duced in Parliament last session, should become law next year. Nor is it our opinion that the desire to share in the capital of new companies is spasmodical or speculative; it seems rather to give signs of being a permanent change tak ing place in their views of investments by the middle class of capitalists. Your Directors, while on the subject of the future, can not allow this opportunity to pass without reference to the prospects before us in a monetary view, and whilst sharing ' the opinions of those writers who look for an active demand for money during the coming winter, they are satisfied that the worst times for monetary institutions like ours are not those when periods of tightness, distrust, and high rates for money are prevalent, if they have their funds well in hand, as on referring to the balance-sheet you will find ours to be; the Directors being of opinion that if the capital in the hands of a finance company be sufficiently large for its undertak ing a full return for capital may then fairly be looked for, and the power of the capitalist (which a welt managed com pany should ever represent) will be then appreciated alike to the convenience of those seeking as to the profit of those lending capital ; and though for the moment financial com panies may be called new institutions, the day is assuredly drawing nigh when their vocation and position will be as clearly defined and recognised as some time after their ens tablishment were joint-stock banks. The Directors have the pleasure to announce that five gentlemen of great influence and high position have joined the board of the amalgamated company, in addition to your present Directors. The accounts have been audited by F. Maynard, Esq., of Bread-street, and W. B. Ford, Esq., auditor of the Joint-Stock Discount Company, both public accountants of high repute. In conclusion, your Directors wish to recall to the minds of shareholders the words used by t h e m in toe original prospectus of the Credit Mobilier, in alluding to the pro fincluding the Credit Mobilier of Paris, w hich had then just sperous results of the then existing fin ancial com p anies, declared 25 per cent. dividend per annum. Then they thus expressed themselves : " The Directors of the Credit Mobilier Limited (your Company) anticipate with confidence that results equally think they had They now trust the shareholders w'" Deputy Chairman. satisfactory will attend the progress of , t ‘ la i is Company." reason for their confidence.—By order of the Board, J.

Within the last few years the question of water supply has engaged the serious attention of munici pal bodies. The spread of social science has brought home to the minds of civic authorities that pure water is the first of sanitary agents. Towns are no longer content to take their water from the nearest river or canal without regard to the chemical changes which it may have undergone in flowing from its source to the point at which it is diverted for domestic purposes ; nor are they satisfied with such a supply as may be obtained by the inhabitants at a parti cular hour and at a particular spot. Street pumps are all but superseded, 'even house cisterns are not deemed sufficiently convenient to answer all purposes of domestic use, and most of the new waterworks are being constructed on the principle of high-level service—that is, of affording a supply in any apartment to which pipes may be carried, as is the case with gas. In this metropolis the New River Company have recently gone to the expense of filling in the cutting which carried the water into North London, and of laying down large mains to take the piece of an open canal. The town of Glasgow has spent an enormous sum in pro curing its supply of water from Loch Katrine, and at this moment works are being constructed to afford n high-level supply to Dublin from water sheds and the River Virtry, at a point in the county of Wicklow 27 miles from that city. It is not surprising, therefore, that the dreadful catastrophe which occurred at Sheffield in 'March last should have given rise to considerable apprehension through out the United Kingdom, and that wherever great reservoirs had been recently provided, or were in course of construction, much alarm was felt lest they should meet with a fate similar to that which had befallen the Bradford reservoir of the Sheffield Waterworks Company. The evidence taken at the inquest which followed the inundation at Sheffield put the public in pos session of the immediate cause of that accident, but since that inquiry the Town Council of Sheffield have procured professional opinions, which, while dealing specifically with that particular case, con• tain a statement of general principles which are in teresting scientifically, and cannot but prove useful to corporations and companies engaged in the cone struction of waterworks on a large scale. It is the conclusion of several eminent engineers that the giving way of the reservoir at Bradfield was caused by water having got under the outside slope of the embankment, which either induced the bank itself or the foundation on which it rested to slip. But it is satisfactory to learn on the same competent au thority that the most capacious reservoir may be provided without the dangers of any such mishap. As a preliminary, however, a careful geological sur vey must be made. Whether this was done in the case of the Sheffield reservoirs we are not prepared to say ; but if Sir John Rennie be right it scarcely could have been, for he tells the corporation, " I cons der the site of the Bradfield embankment to have been injudiciously selected —the strata con sisting chiefly of millstone grit, but with loose friable shale in the deepest part, unequal in qua. lity'and dislocated, with old land slips in the vicinity, extensive faults in the grata, and with several strong springs of water which it was difficult to avoid." Other engineers are equally decided in their objections to the site. But even supposing that the site had been a good one, those gentlemen state that the embankment was extremely faulty in its construction ; and their remarks on this head have a universal application. Most people have seen the process of constructing a railway em bankment, The "stuff" or material is deposited in tips"—that is, it is tilted over from a waggon, and load after load is deposited until the required height and width ate obtained. This appears to have been the method followed in the construction of the Bradfield reservoir. Mr. Conybeare says the material " was loosely thrown in by waggons, in tips of from five to nine feet ; instead of being evenly spread and well consolidated (by the passage of one-horse carts all over it) in parallel layers of only as many inches thick." Mr. Leslie observes that in tips of that character the material may con tinuo to sink or subside for many years after the construction of the embankment ; while Mr. Stevenson points out that by such a mode of construction clods or stones must invariably find their place of repose at the bottom, and thus produce unsound layers or strata in the embankment, which layers will be full of interstices and calculated to admit the free percolation of water Some half-dozen engineers of great experience ex press similar opinions, and all concur instating that the embankment of a reservoir should be laid in layers of only a few inches in depth, which should be well " punned," or rammed. The next point to which these gentleman apply themselves is o ne of equally general importanee---namely, the construc tion of the pipes and the manner in which they should be laid when passing out of the reservoir. The pipes of the Sheffield Company we re only 18 inches in diameter; and as such conduits should be of such a calibre as to afford an opportunity for in ternal examination, most of the engineers w h om the corporation have consulted hold that diameter to have been insufficient. A still greater defect was that the valves were on the outside of the embankment only. Thus there was no means of shutting off the water in the Inside of the darn ; whereas, if valves bead been fixed on the inner end G~eu~ of the pipes, access could have been had to them when the reservoir was full. Th arrtlngiement is strongly commented on by the en{ ineers. .But pc c haps the most important question touched upon in the professional reports is that of the mat icor in which pipes should be laid from the reservoir to beyond the embankment. In the case of the Br ad field reservoir they were laid in a trench under the dam. The engineers whose reports the Sheflaeld Town Council publish are nine in number—Mr Leslie, Mr Stevenson, Mr J. Murray. Mr Conybe3are, Mr Lee, Mr Barlow, Sir John Ronnie, M.e C • Vignolles, and Mr M. B. Jackson ; and seven it of them in unequivocal terms condemn that plan. Air Leslie considers it a much better course, w hen practicable, to drive a tunnel in the solid at the end of the embankment, in which tunnel the pipes should be laid. Should there be no suitable ground for tunnelling, he would build a culvert of very eubstantill masonry, large enough ta carry floods during the time the bank was in progress of construc . ion, MA in which the pipes could afterwards be inserted. Mr. Murray states unhesitatingly that the tunnel for the pipes ought to be laid in the solid ground, and others of the re porting engineers speak with equal confidence to the same effect. Mr. Barlow, though of opinion that no pipes should be laid under an embankment un less the embankment rests on a roc k f oun d at i on, and the pipes are laidin excavations, so that they are well below the surface, does not think it im portant that they should be laid in a culvert or tunnel, as brickwork is more liable to fail than iron, and if it failed the pipe would probably be destroyed at the same time. But Sir John Rennie states that the proper plan is to carry the pipes through the solid ground or strata in tunnels of masonry either on one side of the embankment or the other, but wholly independent of it; and Mr. Jackson goes the length of saying that the longer a storage ree servoir has existed with pipes laid under or through an embankment, the nearer it is to inevitable de struction, unless preventive steps bo taken. Cast iron, he says, is a treacherous material as well as a perishable one; and he advises that the pipes which run under the embankments of the Sheffield reser voirs should be permanently plugged up, and that; fresh means should be provided for the discharge of the water. From this gentleman's report it would seem that there still exists a doubt as to whethiar the water got into the embankment by leaks, ge through the pipes, or by a leakage under or through the puddle. With respect to the comparative merits of a constant water supply and an intermittent c ne, Mr. Lee remarks that in the case of the latter the water is less pure at the taps than in the reservoirs, because when the pipes are empty oxide of iron is formed, and discharged with the water on the next delivery. It is but fair to say that the reports from whicle we have been quoting formed part of a case pre. pared by the Sheffield Town Council against an application to Parliament by the Waterworks Cum pany for additional powers. The battle betwcen the two bodies has been fought and decided, mid in its details the public would probably not take In uch interest ; but there can be no doubt that in obi ain ing the opinions of so many eminent engineers on the construction of water reservoirs for the supply of towns, the corporation have done a service, not only to their own constituents, but to all the cities and towns in the empioe.

BIRMINGIIA.3f, Monday night, 10 p.m. An accident, nearly attended with very serious conse quences, occurred at the London and North-Western Com pany's station, in this town, to-night. The 6 o'clock express from London, due here at 9 p.m., arrived punctually. The engine had passed through the tunnel on to the line in the station; at this point the engine, tender, and guard's van, with one passenger carriage, passed on all right. The second, and third carriages were thrown off the rails, and the fourth carriage was thrown on its side. In it unfortunately there were only two passengers, who almost by a miracle escaped without being much hurt. They were extricated through the windows on the upper side. The remaining portion of the train, consisting of three or four second class carriages, with the last guard's van, remained on the rails. The train having been brought to a stand the carriage thrown on its side was dragged along a few yards, and ultimately the end of it came in contact with a portion of the platform, which it tore up. A part of one large flagstone, three feet in length, was forced into the carriage which had been thrown over. The passengers above referred to were extricated, having it is hoped, sustained no vary serious injuries, and Mr Oliver Pemberton, the company's surgeon, was in a few minutes on the spot, ready to assist the passengers, many of whorls were in a state of great excitement. Mr Roberts, the general superintendent, was also at the scene immediately, and every effort was made to clear the line, which just now is much thronged. This was done as speedily as possible. Major Dixon, of the Ist Royals, was standing on the plat form when the accident occurred. He was knocked down and much shaken. Two causes have been assigned for the accident. One is, that the turn-table, over which the train had to pass, had been left improperly fastened; the other is, that there was something wrong in connection with the points.
