THE ROYAL INSURANCE COMPANY,
29, Lombard-street, London ; and

Royal Insurance-buildings, Liverpool.

At the Annual Meeting, on:the sth inst., the following were
some of the leading results disclosed in the Report to the
shareholders.

FIRE BRANCH.
The Premiums of the year 1863 reached the sum
of
£341,663
Being an advance of 40,977
over 1862; an amount of increase exceeding that 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 paid to Government in 1862 was. £75,993
Ditto ditto, 1863 88,966

showing an Increase in one year of .... ...... £12,973
Amono. the incidents which have tended to the advance-
ment of the Royal within the last tew wont hs may be reckoned
its Irtion with respect to the losses sustained by the explo-
sion of the Lotty Sleigh. which although on'y eon -latent with
the general tenor of the conduct of the Company, and ulti-
mately proved to be no more than what had been done in for-
mer times by the oldest and most proverbially honourable
among its contemporaries, yet attracted attention and public
favour by its unhesitating. promptness.
As the largest total of Revenue and the largest ratio of
progression have been attained in the present year, so it
happens that the largest Profit which it has ever tallen to the
Directors to record has likewise on this occasion to be an-
nounced. The balance of net profit on theyear has amounted
to £83,5 t 5 ; of which sum £34,100 only has been appropriated
to Dividend and Bonus, and the large balan_e of £49,441 been
carried to Reserve.

LIFE BRANCH.
The progress of the Life Branch, as shown by the New
Business transacted in the last year, is most promising, and
the advances made, year by year, in the amount of New In-
surances effected sh,,w 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
1860
1861
...... 16,6,7 18 0
1862
1863
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
larger than any which could have been reasonably expected.
The first half of the current year 1864, however, far outfit! ips
the ratio of increase indicated by the figures ju,t 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
Vie quinquennial investigation, which is to take place when
the present year is concluded.
