TUE LIVERPOOL AND LONDON AND
GLOBE INSURANCE COMPANY.
Established 1836.
(Empowered Speciaßy by Parliament.)
rivEsrED FUNDS EXCEED £3,000,000 STERLING.
By an Act of the last Session of Parliament, the Globe
Insurance Company of London was amalgamated. as from the
20th September, 1862, with the Liverpool and London Com-
pany, and by a clause in the Act the name of the latter Com-
pany WAS subsequently changed to THE LIVERPOOL
AND LONDON AND GLOB! INSURANCE COMPANY.
The CAPITAL of the Company is Two Millions, of which
£390,000 is paid up and invested ; and in addition there are
Reserve Funds, wh'ch, independently of the Life Reserve,
amount to £1,200,000.
FIRE INSURANCE.—The Premiums in 1863 exceeded
£580,000, and were ereater than those of any other Company
by upwards of £2OOOOO. The position in the Duty Return
will be understood from the following statement:--
The Sun, established in 1710, collected duty in 1863, £215,000
The Phcentx 1782, 138,003
The Liverpool and
London and Globe 1836, If 133,000
'Whilst no other Company collected as much a 5...... 90,000
LIFE INSURANCE.--The Premiums receive 1 in 1863
were £209,5c,0, and the Annuities paid amounted to £33,500.
The Fund accumulated to meet these Liabilities is £1,450,000.
The Liab lily of Proprietors is unlimited.

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
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, 1803 88,966

Showing an Increase in one year of
Amon, 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-
sion of the Lotty Sleigh, which although on 'y consistent 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 totll 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 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 .03,515 ; of which sum £34,100 only has been appropriatel
to Dividend and Bonus, and the large balan:e of £49,444 been
carried to Reserve.

LIFE BRANCH.
The progress of the Life Branch, as shown by the New
Business transacted in tie 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 deductihg Guarantees. . Net Premiums.
1859 ........ £434,470 11 10 ... £13,086 0 5
1860 ........ 449,241 16 2
1861 ........ 521,101 17 0
1862 ........ 701,4 '7 15 3
1863 ........ 752,546 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 oourse 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 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 Vfortality, 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 concludfi.
