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 £341,668
Being an advance of 40,977
over ;862; 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
AMOTIV, the incidents which have tended to the advance-
ment of the Royal within the last few months may be reckoned
its a tion with respect to the losses sustained by the explo-
sion of th 3 Lotty Sleigh, which although °ivy con istent 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 o'dest and most proverbial'y honourable
among its contemporaries, yet attracted attention and public
favour by its unhesitating prompt uesa.
As the largest tot Ll 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 likewis' on this occasion to be an-
nounced. The balance of net profit on theyear has amounted
to £83,5(5 ; of which sum £31,1( 0 only has been appropriated
to Dividend and Bonus, and the large balan c of £19,441 been
carried to Reserve.
