clime of European reputation attest that, iu intonnerahle cases

In 1845. the premiums were iI3O,OCQ
1n 1858
lu 1857

From which it appears, therefore, that whereas the year 1856
showed au increase of 21,031, the year 1857 furnishes a flintier
advance of 93,29 U, together making an increase of Fire Pre-
mioins alone of nearly 45,0001 in the last two year*.
It is believed that ONLY THREE OFFICES NO tY EQUAL
THE ROYAL In Fire Revenue.
l'he increase upon the Duly paid by this Company in IRV on
Fire Insurancea is no less than 5,124.
No two London Offices equal, in their united increase of Duty
for that year, the additional amount contributed by the Royal
Insurance Company.
LIFE BRANCH.
The progress of this department has been moat remarkable,
as evinced in the following statement :
In 1855, tie premiums ariaing from Life Policies
were /6,90 1.4
In 1857 " amounted to 11.0,370

It will thus be seen that the Naw Business of the past year
nearly doubles that of two years silica. This is mainly cense•
quent upon the LARGE. BONUS declared in iii3ss, which
amounted to no less than 21. per cent. per annum on the sums
assured, and averaged 80 per cent, on the premium* paid.
