the Annual Meeting, on'the sth inst., the following were
of the leading results disclosed in the Report to the
:holders.

FIRE BRANCH.
e Premiums of the year 1863 reached the sum
f £341,668
ing an advance of 40,977
1862; an amount of increase exceeding that of any pre-
I year.
e Revenue from Fire Premiums has been en-
lanced in four years by the large sum of £113,353

e Duty paid to Government in 1862 was. £75,993
,to ditto, 1803 88,966

owing an Increase in one year of
long the incidents which have tended to the advance-
, of the Royal within the last few months may be reckoned
tion with respect to the losses sustained by the explo-
of the Lotty Sleigh, which although on 'y con istent with
-eneral tenor of the conduct of the Company, and ulti-
ly proved to be no more than what had been done in tor-
times by the o'dest and most proverbially honourable
ig its contemporaries, yet attracted attention and public
ir by its unhesitating prompt❑ess.
the largest total of Revenue and the largest ratio of
ression have been attained in the present year, so it
ens that the largest Profit which it has ever fallen to the
3tors to record has likewise on this occasion to be an-
ced. The ba'ance of net profit on theyear has amounted
13,515 ; of which sum £34,100 only has been appropriated
ividend and Bonus, and the large balan e of X 49,411 been
ed to Reserve.

LIFE BRA.NCEL
e progress of the Life Branch, as shown by the New
ness t-ansacted in the last year, Is most promising, and
dvances made, year by year, in the amount of New In-
ices effected, shies clearly the estimation in which the
pany is held. The following is a statement for the last
rears :

is rapid growth, amounting to 73 per cent. on the Sum
fired, and upwards of 80 per cent. on the Premium re-
d in the oourse of five years, may justly be considered as
!r than any which could have been reasonably expected.
first half of the current year 1864, however, far outstl ips
atio of increase indicated by the figures jut quoted, as
um assured for that period of six months only actually
ads Half-a-Mil ion sterling.
e rate of Mortality, likewise, still presents highly favour-
features, and augurs well for the result to be shown by
iuinquennial investigation, which is to take place when
,resent year is conclud •.d.
