1,4 t the Annual Meeting, on'the sth inst., the following were
ele cf the leading results disclosed in the Report to the
-4areholders.

FIRE BRANCH.
The Premiums of the year 1863 reached the sum
of
O(4 an advance of
r
1862; an amount of increase exceeding that of any pre-
The.(
8 year.
Revenue from Fire Premiums has been en-
hanced in four years by the large sum of £113,353
rfie D
btu° uty paid to Government in 1862 was
ditto, 1863 88,966

showing an Increase in one year of

lte the Royal within the last Jew months may be reckoned.
%to a ton with respect to the losses sustained by the explo-
to of th, Lotty Sleigh. which although on y con istent with
kit-stZeneral tenor of the conduct of the Company, and ulti-
elY proved to 132 no more than what had been done in for-
ht4l4 times by the oldest and most proverbial), honourable
1413112; its contemporaries, yet attracted
attention and public
our by its unhesitating prompt ,ess.
bi,ls the largest tot a of Revenue and the largest nail (Id
NZ`ession have been attained in the present year, so it
1)11: ens that the largest Profit which it has ever Callen to the
ecters to recerd has likea ise on this occasion to be an-
t°
.ftlineed. The balance of net profir on the year has amounted
to g..) 5t5 • of which sum £34,1t0 only has been appropriatel
o.l,vlden'd and Bonus, and the large balan e of £49,441 been
-"Led to Reserve.

LIFE BRANCH.
)111,i' Progress of the Life Branch, as shown by the New
the;,ess transacted In the last year, is most promising. and
atir-,,;;lvances made, year by year, in the amount of New In-
Co anew effected, sh ,w clearly the estimation in which the
jk'anY is held.' The following is a statement for the last

Th•
A. la rapid growth, amounting to 73 per cent. on the Sum
,78ured, and upwards of 80 per cent. on the Premium re-
jVved in the course of five years, may justly be considered as
firlger than any which could have been reasonably expected.
e first half of the current year 1864, however, far outstt ips
t',!o ratio of increase indicated by the figures just quoted, as
sum assured for that period of six months only actually
-Zceeds Half-a-Mil ion sterling.
~rthe rate of Mortality, likewise, still presents highly favour-
:ole features, and augurs well for the result to be shown by
:)e quinquennial investigation, which is to take place when
the present year is conclud d.
