•
At the Annual Meeting, on'the sth inst., the following were
onte of the leading results disclosed in the Report to the
shareholders.

FIRE BRANCH.
The Premiums of the year 1863 re ached the sum
of £341,663
Being' an advance of
over 1862: an nmnim t r,f 4... , .

. 1562; 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, 1833 e 8,966

Bhowing an Increase in one year of
Among the incidents which have tended to the advance-
-112 ent of the Royal within the last 1 ew months may be reckoned
La action with respect to the losses sustained by the explo-
sion of the Lotty Sleigh, which although °ivy con •istent with
the general tenor of the conduct of the Company, and ulti-
kately proved to be no more than what had been done in tor-
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
itans tt the laest rofit which it hs ever falen to the
Diprecpe ha
tors to record has P
likewise on thisa occasionl to be an-
nounced. The balance of net profit on the year has amounted
to £83,515 of which sum £3.1,100 only has been appropriated
to Dividend and Bonus, and the large balance of £49,414 been
Carried to Reserve.

LIFE BRANCH.
BThe progress of the Life Branch, as shown by the New
usiness transacted in tie last year, is most promising, and
e advances made, year by year, in the amount of New In-
surances effected, sli,w clearly the estimation in which the
.ornpearsany is held. The following is a statement for the last
'lre Y Net Sum Sum Assured on New Policies
_ .

after deducting, Guarantees. _Net Premiums.
1859
1860
1861
1862
1863
a This rapid growth, amounting to 73 per cent. on the Sum
n!sured, and upwards of 80 per cent. on the Premium re-
rived in the course of five years, may justly be considered as
Thethan any which could have been reasonably expected.
11e 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-Alll ion sterling.
aarl'ile rate of Mortality, likewise, still presents highly favour-
'?te features, and augurs well for the result to be shown by
quinquennial investigation, which is to take place when
thepresent year is concluded.
