The Premiums of thel year 1863 reached the sum
of
Being an advance of 2311,66840,977
over 1862; 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

Showing an Increase in one year of Among the incidents which have tended to the advance-
ment 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 only oon•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 1 or-
mer times by the oldest and most proverbially honourable
among its contemporaries, yet attracted attention and public
favour by its unhesitating promptness.
As•khe largest total of Revenue and the largest ratil 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 likewise on this occasion to be an-
nounced. The balance of net profit on the year has amounted
to .£83,515 • of which sum £34,tco only has been appropriated
to Dividend and Bonus, and the large balan e of £49,444 been
carried to Reserve.

BRANCH.
The progress of theLIFE Life Branch, as shown by the New
Business transacted in the last year, is most promising, and
the advances made, year by year, in the amount of New In-
surances effected, ahiw clearly the estimation in which the
Company is held. The following is a Statement for the last
five years :

This rapid growth, amounting to 73 per cent. on the Sum
Assured, and upwards of 80 per cent. on the Premium re-
ceived in the course of five years, may justly be considered as
larger than any which could have been reasonably expected.
The first half of the current year 1864, however, far outsti ips
the ratio of increase indicated by the figures jumt quoted, as
the sum assured for that period of six months only actually
exceeds Half-a-Mil ion sterling.
The rate of Mortality, likewise sill presents highly favour-
able features, and augurs well fort the result to be shown by
tae quinquennial investigation, which is to take place when
the present year is conclud 'cl.
