At the .Annual Afeetintr,, on'thr sth lust., the followin2: were
crtle cf the leading results disclosed in the Report to the
thareholders.
FIRE BRANCH.
The Premiums of the year 1863 reached the sum
of
Being an advance of
ever 1862; an amount of increase exceeding that of any pre-
',ions year.
The Revenue from Fire Premiums has been en-
lianced 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
Among the incidents which have tended to the advance-
nent 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 Lott), Sleigh, which although only eon -istent with
the general tenor of the conduct of the Company, and ulti-
tnately proved to be no more than what had been done in I or-
rner 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 £34,1000n1y has been appropriated
to Dividend and Bonus, and the large balance of £19,441 been
~Uried•-to Reserve.
LIFE BRANCH.

The progress of the Life Branch, as shown by the New
musiness 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
Rye years :
Net Sum Assured on New Policies
after deducting Guarantees. Net Premiums.
1859
1860
1861
1862
1803 . 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 course of five years, may justly be considered as
)arger 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 prestnts 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.
