The Duty paid to Government in 1862 was

Showing an Increase in one year of
Among the incidents which have tended to the advance-
pent of the Royal within the last few months may be reckoned
ts action with respect to the losses sustained by the explo-
Von of the Lotty Sleigh, which although on, y con .istent with
the general tenor of the conduct of the Company, and ulti-
tlately proved to be no more than what had been done in for-
/ler times by the oldest and most proverbially honourable
3among its contemporaries, yet attracted attention and public
'avour by its unhesitating promptness.
As the largest totAl of Revenue and the largest ratio of
progression have been attained hi the present year, BO it
Directorsh the largest Profit whicE it has ever tallen to the
t to record has likewise on this occasion to be an-
tounced. The balance of net profir on theyear has amounted
I'7 £B3 ,5 15 ; of which sum £34,100 only has been appropriated
91vidend and Bonus, and the large balance of £49,441 been
".°ll.l".ed to Reserve.

LIFE BRANCH.
-r:rhe rogress of the Life Banch as shown by the New
vilsinesps t-ansacted in the lastr, year,, is most promising, and
the advances made, year by year, in the amount of New In-
kiarauces effected, shrm clearly the estimation in which the
culliPany is held. The following is as tatement for the last
ve Years :
Net Sum Assured on New Policies
after deducting Guarantees. Net Premiums.
1859
1860
1861
1862
1863
This rapid growth, amountirg to 73 per cent. on the Sum
Assured, and upwards of 80 per cent. on the Premium re-
Telved in the course of five years, may justly be considered as
The than any which could have been reasonably expected.
he first half of the current year 1864, however, far outsti ips
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
toe quinquennial investigation, which is to take place when
the present year is concluded.
