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

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 conduct of the 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 sum £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 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, 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

1863 .
1862 ........ 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.

PROSPECTUS.
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 :

It will thrts be seenthat the average value (as represented
by the price of the shares) of the abovementione.d tour com-
panies is £3 4s. premium per share, efter deducting (if any)
the reserve fund ; the price of issue of this Company's new
shares to the public is £2 13s. 4d. premium, from which,
after deducting the amount of this Company's reserve fund,
equal to £2 per share, leaves the share costing only 13s. 4d
premium, against £3 4s. premium, the average price of the
four companies before referred to, leaving a bonus to the
public of £2 108. 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.

Applications for shares may be made in the form annexed,
and must be aocompanied by the payment of D. per share.
Should no allotment be made the amount will be returned

To the SHAREHOLDERt! of the CREDIT FONCIER
(Limited) and the CEDIT
MOBILIER (Limited).
Gentlernenv—the Directors will hot batted from the
shareholders t.1,„3 gratfficatioh they experience at this, the
first mull' 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 ,
