At the Annual Meeting, mine 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
£341,663
Being an advance of 40,977
over 1862; an amount of increase exceeding that of any pre.
Ilona 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 (Litt°, 1883 88,966

Showing an Increase In one year of .... ...... £12,973
Among the incidents which have tended to the advance-
Znent 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 Lotty Sleigh, which although out), con Astent with
the general tenor of the conduct of the Company, and ulti-
tnately proved to be no more than what had been done in for-
/tier times by the o dest 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
PPens that the largest Profit which it has ever fallen to the
'-'lrectors to record has likewise on this occasion to be an-
to&T balance of net profit on the year
appoud
4 S-83,515 ;Of which sum LH, ICO only has been ropriated ..0 Dividend and Bonus, and the large balan.e of £49,414 been
tarried to Reserve.

LIFE BRANCH.
The progress of the Life Branch, as shown by the New
-151111iness transacted in the last year, is most promising, and the advances made, year by year, in the amount of New In-
Comp effected, show clearly his at
in which the
,ssrepany is held. The following is a statement for the last
"'" Years :
Net Sum Assured on New Policies
after deducting Guarantees. Net Premiums.
1859
1860
1861
1862
1863
This rapid growth, amounting to 73 per cent. on the Sum Assured, and upwards of 80 per cent. on the Premium re-
Telved in the course of five years, may justly be considered as
girger than any which could have been reasonably expected.
