1862.
The Directors of the Royal Insurance Company are now
called upon to make their accustomed periodical Report at the
Meeting ot its Shareholders.
FIRE BRANCH.
The Directors have, as pleasingly as unexpectedl at the close ot the year, to announce, for the first time, tha 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 again fully maintained.
The profit of the business of the year exceeds considerably
the amount realised in the preceding year, and in fact sur-
passes that of any year, with but two exceptions, since the
commencement of this Office, the balance to the credit on
account of British and Foreign Insurances being £15,107 les.
56., and of the North American business, Which is kept sepa.
rately, £11,097165. 10d.
LIVE BRANCH-.
The very gratifying duty now falls upon the Directors to
state the sum assured on new policies for the year 1862
exceeds even that of the year 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 assured as that which
has just been announced as the result of one year's business
was all but unheard or.
This portion of the Company's business has been carefully
watched, and cannot fail to give much satisftion to he
shareholder, as well as no small encouragement for the
the
future to the participating life assurer.
Evidence (A 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 assurance amounts to .£143,281. Various degrees
of ineligibility have led tb 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 inadmis-
sible in a single year from 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
Londin or elsewhere, except when amalgamations have taken
place. The returns of duty 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 past, that
the future may unfold for it a sphere of still greater magni-
tude, combining distinguished commercial success to the
Office with a lengthened career of usefulness and protection
to the public.

APPEAL.
The Committee of Management have to state that, since
the beginning, of the year 1880, the Royal National Lifeboat
Institution has expended £32,000 on various Lifeboat Estab-
lishments on the Coasts of England. Scotland, and Ireland.
The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the
Society, and other means, since its formation, is 12,800;
tor' which services 82 Gold Medals, 718 Silver Medals, and.
£16,480 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu-
tion has also expended £67,(00 on Life-boats, Life-boat
Transporting-can cages, and Boat-houses.
The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of
the generous support which they have received from the
British public during the past few years, a support which
has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet
of 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom.
Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that
rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient
state, and its Crews practised in the management of their
boats, which can only be effected by a large and permanent
annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their
countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so
great and truly national a work.
The Committee gratefully acknowledge the following con-
tributions:— - -

fact.

Mr. SURGEY considered that it shook all confi-
dence in the board. Land, two acres, that was
bought at £9OO per acre, was sought to be disposed
of to the company for £lO,OOO per acre.

The CHAIRMAN said it was absurd to suppose that
men would become the purchasers of 130 acres for
the sake merely of selling two acres.
After much discussion and altercation, the resolu-
tion proposed by Mr. Surgey was put and carried
unanimously.

Mr. hURGET then inquired whether the chair.
msn and his colleagues intended to resign.
The CHAIRMAN said he intended to consult with
his friends as to the course to be pursued.
Mr. SURGEY said it was now a question for new
directors.
The CHAIRMAN said that could not be done now,
and the meeting broke up.

rapidly. The contractors were under engagements
to finish the line to San Paulo by 1866, but they
were not forced to deliver the whole line until
1868. The contractors had applied to Government
to give them a certain bonus if they finished the
works sooner, and the directors had recommended
the Government to give them £25,000 for every six
months they saved of the contract time for com-
pleting the works.
The report having been unanimously adopted,
thanks were given to the chairman and directors,
and the meeting separated.

sent him to Mr. Durrant, who dismissed hi.. ;.
Ivalierly. Up to the 15th of May I had cal a s
pon Mr. Durant, and complained to him, among
;her things, of the fence. I subsequently called
.pon Mr. Valentine.
Mr. James Platt was next examined. In reply
to the jury, he said no break-power could have,
stopped the train in the 40 yards.
Mr. E. E.,Durrant, -Borough Treasurer of Lynn,
and a director of the line, sworn, stated that he bad
never had a single complaint from those persons
about the fences. He had received a letter of Mr.
Baggs, through Mr. Simpson. He went down to
the place indicated, and found that the fence had
been deepened, and it looked to him to be in a very
fair and proper condition. He had frequently beon
a passenger on the line, but had never seen any
cause of complaint, nor had any, either through
their own people or the Great Eastern, Most. em-
phatically, he never had any complint from Mr.
S watman on behalf of Alr, Hammond as to the
fences. Thompson, a shepherd, never complained
'o

Thompson, reeslled, said he had spoken to Mr,
Durrant in his office as to the water and the

Fencing.

Mr. Durrant said he might have had conversa-
tion as to tile water—the culverts. In his opinion
a nine-foot dike with a rail was a sufficient one. It
was supposed the ditches never would be dry.
The inquiry is still proceeding.

Inquest on the Body of the late Sir F. W.
Slade, Bart, Q.C.

Yesterday an inquest was held at Maunsell House,
near Bridgwater, by W. W. Munckton, Esq., coro-
ner, on the body of Sir F. Slade, who expired sud•

denly on Sunday morning. It was mentioned in
the course of the inquiry that the deceased felt the
death of Sir Cresswell Cresswell exceedingly, and
mentioned the circumstance to Mr. Fitzgerald in
the assize courts at Wells on Friday morning last.
In the course of conversation he said that no one
knew who had a diseased heart, and God only knew
who would die from it next. About two years ago
a favourite servant of his died from diseased heart,
and that circumstance also affected him. On Satur-
day, during his walk in his garden with his medical
attendant, Mr. Summers, he repeatedly referred to
the death of Sir Cresswell Cresswell.
Marcus Slade, sworn, said—l am the son of the
deceased. He returned to Maunsell from Wells
Assizes on Friday night last, apparently in good
health. The following morning, about half-past
seven, he rode out on horseback, and on his return
he walked to the dairy. On hss way back, when he
got to the coal house, he said he had a pain in his
chest. He returned and had his breakfast with
Lady Slade and the family_ He did not eat much.
He drank a cup of lot coffee, and said that it did
him good. After breakfast the pains came on
worse. Mr. Summers saw him between ten and
eleven o'clock that morning. After he left he went
upstairs and lay down on my brother's bed, where
he remained until half-past three o'clock, when he
came down stairs and went out into the garden,
and said that he felt better. At half-past seven
o'clock he came into dinner, but did not eat any-
thing excepting some dry toast and hot brandy and
water. He said that he felt better during the
evening. He had a cup of tea about a quarter-past
nine. He said he would go to bed early, but he
changed his mind and did not go until after we had
gone ; at dinner time he said his left hand was cold,
which he considered as a sign of gout coming on.
About halfpast ten o'clock that night I last saw
him alive. I was then in the drawing room. In
the night I was awoke up by bells ringing and
mamma screaming. I ran into his bed room. He
was lying near the edge on his left side. Mamma
and a gentleman who was staying with us (Mr.
Cantillo) were with him. Cold water was applied
to his head, but it fell down again. He never spoke.
Mr. Summers was sent for immediately. I felt
him and he was quite warm.
William Alexander Summers deposed—l am a
surgeon residing at North Petherton. On Satur-
day morning last, about ten o'clock or a little
after, I was sent for to see the deceased,
and found him at Maunsell in the drawing room.
He complained of an intense pain in his chest and
stomach. His face was much flushed, and he was
in a great perspiration. His left hand and arm were
considerably colder than the right ones. I examined
his heart, and found its action very laboured, al-
though regular. I attributed the symptoms to in-
digestion. I gave him some remedies, ordered a
mustard poultice to be applied, and his arm to be
rubbed. I saw him again at about half-past five
o'clock in the afternoon, when he told me that the
pains in the stomach and chest were almost
gone, but that he had a slight headache. I found
animation in the arm quite restored. He walked
about the garden with me for upwards of three-
quarters of an hour and seemed very cheerful. I
ordered the medicine to be repeated and loft.
About a quarter to twelve o'clock at night I had a
message to come to Maunsell directly, Sir Frederick
was in a fit. I immediately went down and
found him in his bed-room, lying rather on his
left side, and quite dead, although still warm. I did
not see any marks of violence about it. I attended
him about 15 months ago for a similar attack, from
which he soon recovered. Lady Slade informed me
that she was awoke by his making a rattling noise
in his throat as he was lying in bed, and that his
face and neck were suffused with blood; when I
saw him he was very pale, as he had been dead some
20 minutes. lam of opinion that he had fatty de-
generation of the heart, and that the immediate
cause of death was. apoplexy, the result of natural

causes.
Remain Bouroon sworn—l am the butler at
Maunsell, The family went to bed on Saturday
night at 10 o'clock. Sir Frederick Slade remained
up sitting in the drawing-room reading the limes;
directly the family went to bed he called me to
put out the lights. which I did and left him in
the drawing-room. I heard him go to his bed
room about 10 minutes to eleven o'clock. About
forty minutes afterwards her ladyship's bell rang.
I went to the bedroom and found Lady Slade out of
bed, and Sir Frederick lying in bed on his left side.
He was insensible. I sent immediately for Mr.
Summers.

Sir Alfred Frederick: Adolphus Slade, Bart.,
sworn—l am the eldest son of the deceased. The
letters which I now produce are in the handwrit-
ing of the deceased. They were delivered to me by
Lady Slade. They were sealed and stamps put on
them. I opened them :

" Mauusell, Bth Aug. 1863.

" My dear Sampson,—Will you be so kind as to send me
here the name exact of the preparation of taraxacum, and
the address of the shop in London where it is to be had.
You will remember having told me that I ought to take it
for a series of weeks or months. I have lately had a severe
bilious derangement, which brings your advice to my mind.
We are looking very beautiful here now, all the flowers out
and the harvest in full progress. We go to the sea at
Paiguton, near Torquay, for three weeks on the 19th of the
month, after which we shall be here, and hope to see you
and Mrs. Sampson—Yours very truly,

"My Dear Lord Bishop,—l was in Wells on Friday, but
so busy in court that I could not pay my respects to Lady
Auckland and yourself as I had wished. Business over, I
returned here, leaving everything at my lodgings, ready for
me to return t3-morrow to have the honour of dining at the
palace. L'homme propose, wail Diel4 dispose. I getup as
well as any man this morning, rode out early before break -
I.:lst, but was seized with what they call indigestion, but
what I call the pains of hell, and have been in all day.
Under these circumstances will you and Lady Auckland
kindly excuse me, and believe yours very truly,
(Signed) "F. W. SLIDE.
" The Right Honourable the Lord Bishop,
Palace, Wells, Sauicrset."
The Coroner, in summing up the case, considQred
the jury could not have the slightest hesitation in
coming to the conclusion that the deceased died
from natural causes, and it appeared to him that the
proximate cause of death was similar to that of Sir
Cresawell Cresswell's—fatty degeneration of the
heart. Possibly faintness came on, the heart put
in increased action, more blood was sent to the brain
than was normal, and a bloodvessel gave way, pro-
ducing apoplexy, which, as the surgeon truly
stated, was the immediate cause of death.
The jury returned a verdict of "Death from
Natural Causes."
