Royal Insurance-buildings, Liverpool.

At the Annual Meeting*, orithe sth inst., the following* were
Pome of the ieading results disclosed in the Repott to the
'tar eholders.

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 88,980

Showing an Increase in one year of .... ..... £12,973
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-
sion of the Lotty Sleigh, which although on ty 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-
Iner 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 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 £83,515 ; of which sum £34,100 only has been appropriated
to Dividend and Bonus, and the large balance of £48,441 been
carried to Reserve.

LIFE BRANCH.
The progress of the Life Branch, as shown by the Nap
Ilusiness trapsacted 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
Eve years :
Net Sum Assured on New Policies
after deducting Guarantees. Net Premiums.
1859
1860
1861
1862
18433
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 ontsttips
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 augnre well for the result to be shown by
tne quinquennial investigation, which is to take place when
the present year is concluded.
