ExTßAers FROM THE REPORT FOR TIIE YEAR I N

1862.
The Directors of the Royal Insursnce Company are now
called upon to make their accustomed periodical Report at the
3leeting of its Shareholders.
FIRE BRANCH.
The Directors have, as p'casingly as unexpectedly. at the
close of the y ear to announce,- for the first time, that the Fire
Premiums have not only reached, but exceed £300,000.
The high comparative position held by the Royal in the
Government Returns of Duty is agnin fully maintained.
The profit of the business of the year exceeds considerably
the amount realised in the preced.ng year, and in fact sur-
passes that of any year, with but two exceptions, sine-, the
commencement of tilts Office, the balance to the credit on
account of British and Foreign Insurances being £15,101 10s.
5d., and of the North American buainess, which is kept sepa-
latelY, £11,097 16s. 10d.
LIFE BRANCH..
The very gratifying duty now falls upon the Directors to
state the sum assured on n-w policies for fhe year 1062
exceeds even that of the yesr 1861 by £lBO,OOO, and has arrived
at the almost unexampled amount for a single year of
£701,427 on 1,498 new policies Issued. Until within the last
few years it is believed that such a sum arsurcd as that which
has just been announced as the malt of one year's business
was all but unheard of.
This portion of the Company's business has been carefully
watched, and cannot fail to give much satisfaction to the
shareholder, as well as no small encouragement fur the
future to the participating life assurer.
Evidence of continued care in the selection of lives is amply
afforded by a statement of the number rejected. These have
amounted to 311 for the year, on which the aggregate sum
proposed for assuran'e s mounts to .L 43,281. Various degrees
01 ineligibility have led to these lives being declined.
No small number of the Assurance companies of the day
record their accepted lives Annually at a sum not much, if at
all, exceeding those Which" the Royal has declared as in admis-
sitle in a single year front deterioration of some kind or
another.
If, to complete their review, the Directors now advert
briefly to the United Kingdom, they have to announce that
in Fire Business its progress has been undoubtedly more
rapid than that of any other Company established either in
Loncl3n or elsewhere, except when amalgamations have taken
place. The returns of ditty have proved this. In Life, the
amount of New Policies already reported make all other
evidence needless.

The Directors conclude their present Report with the
expression of an opinion that the prospects of the Royal
Insurance Company were never brighter, and of a consequent
hope, founded on a grateful remembrance of the pant, that
the future may unfold for it a sphere of still greater mas,,ni-
tude, combining distinguished commercial success to the
Office with a lengthened career of usefulness and protection
to the public.

The Tercentenary Committee, in submitting the subscrip-

of Shakspeare for their aid and assistance. The Committee
rest their claims upon the ground that Stratford is not only
the birthplace of Shakspeare. but the centre of attraction to
all admirers of the great Poet's woks and that as his
hcsme, the town he loved, and where he' lived and died.

President—The Duke of BUCCLEUCIT, K.G.
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.
This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may he rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
it t4ratuitottsly affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week,

- .
The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,
to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.
Contributions are received by the Treasurer, Edward
Masterman, Esq.' Nicholas-lane; also by Messrs. Coutts and

been previously known to occur. The fossils were first
noticed in August, 1861, in a newly-opened quarry, be-
longing to Sir Hedworth Williamson, Bart., at Falwell, a

He had a great distrust in all red beds together, and nothing
would satisfy him any more than Sir Charles Lyell but a
fossil in the right place. Mr. Kirkby, who had worked at
the Permian system for a long time, and himself, had
found that the Permian system was as entirely connected
with the mountain limestone and with the carboniferous
system as the Cambrian was with the Silurian. (Laughter.)
After a few words in explanation and reply from Sir
Roderick Murchison,

Professor HARKNESS, at some length, entered into details
supplementary to the statement of Sir Roderick Mur-
chison.

The PRESIDENT remarked that they required further in-
formation to enable them to come to definite conclusions on
this subject, and the conversation then terminated.
THE SANDSTONE OF THE N.E. OF SCOTLAND,
Professor HARIiNESS made a statement on the reptilife-
rous and footprint sandstones of the N,E. of Scotland, which
afforded evidence of forms belonging to a period far more
remote than any of which palesoniology spoke.
Sir C. LYELL regretted the slat time left for discussion
of a question relating to the theory of progressive develop-
ment of organic life, for if the facts put forward were true,
one of the greatest blows had been struck at the theory of
development as generally understood that could possibly
have been dealt. There had been too great an inclination
on the part of geological discoverers to assume that any
given form of animal entered into this planet at the
period of the rock in which it happened to be found ;
and the warning he had constantly given against
this tendency had been interpreted as a much stronger pro-
test against the doctrine of progression than it ought to
have been. When the first of these telerpeton, being a
new form, was announced to be found in rock, reported on
authority to be Devonian, or, at any late, palseozoic, he did
feel a pleasure in the rebuke such a fact gave to the doc-
trine that no reptiles existed at that period. (Hear, hear.)
It always appeared to him unphilosophical, merely because
we knew nothing of the vertebrate life of that period, to
assume therefore that no reptiles existed older than the
trias. Bat afterwards, when it was discovered that the
staganolepis, a supposed fish, was a crocodilian reptile, and
that some of the other forms Were the same as those of the
crocodiles now living in the Ganges, he began seriously to
doubt whether his friends had assigned a true position in
the geological series to these beds. Now, he quite saw from
the investigations that these must be admitted to be a con-
secutive regular series, from unquestionably lower red beds
containing the well-known fishes of the old red forms that
were known to be carboniferous, up to the beds containing
those reptiles. He was inclined strongly to conclude that
w e h
partad h
Devonianre a conformable
rorucks, and
a n series,
inthe
upper part something each containing in the
lower
newer than the coal.

Loafer jumped away slightly in advance, hut after pro-

and Garotter. Upon entering the straight the quartette

slight lead, Loafer appeared to be going the best of any-
thing. At the distance Foreteller dropped back, and an
