EXTRACTS FROM TILE REPORT FOR TIIE YEAR

1862.

The Directors of, the Royal Insurance Company are now
called upon to make their accustomed periodical Report at the
Meeting of its Shareholders.
-

FIRE BRANCH.
The Directors have, as pleasingly as unexpectedly, at the
;lose or the year, 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 ag,in fully maintamed.
The profit of the business Of the year exceeds considerably
'Flo amount realised in the preceding year, and in fact sur-
basses that of any year, with but two exceptions, since the
commencement of this Office, the balance to the credit on
~account of British and Forei,n Insurances being £45,107 10s.
'4., and of the North American business, which is kept sepa-
rately, 16s. 30d.
LIFE BRANCH.
The verY gratifying duty now falls pon 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
11,-, the almost unexampled amount for a single year of
1,01,127 on 1,4 believed olicies issued. Until within the last
ii`yr years it is that such a sum acsured as that %latch
,48 Just been announced as the result of one year's business
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 for the
future to the participating life assurer.
tvidence 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 assurance mounts to £143,281. Various degrees
of 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
•!i, exceeding, those which the Royal has declared as inadmis-
stele in a single year from deterioration of some kind or
another.
to complete their review, the Directors now advert
'rfly to the United Kingdom, they have to announce that
in Fire Business its progress has been undoubtedly more
meld
than that of any other Company established either in
on d )n or elsewhere, except when amalgamations have taken
Mace. The returns of duty have proved this. In Life, the
amount of New Policies already reported make all other
cadence 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
the tounded on a grateful remembrance of the past, that
future may unfold for it a sphere of still greater magni-
towlc e ehe, epoumbbi:ing distiTruished commercial success to the
with a lengtheneeCcareer of usefulness and protection

CELEBRATION of the TERCENTENARY of
•Li the BIRTH of SHAKSPEARE, at Stratford-upon-
Avon. The Tercentenary Committee (of which Sir Robert
C. Hamilton, Bart., K.C. 8., is Chairman) are now reedy-
Mg SUBSCRIPTIONS, and they may also.be paid to the
account of the Tercentenary Committee, at the Stourbridge
and Kidderminster or Warwick and Leamington Banks,
Stratford-upon-Avon ; Messrs. Greenway, Smith, and
(reetiway Warwick • or their London agents, Messrs.
Smith, Pa=---yne and Co', Messrs. Hanbarys and Co., or Messrs.
Glyn and Co :bankers, London.
The Tercentenary Committee, in submitting the subscrip-
tion list to the nation, most earnestly appeal to the admirers
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 works, and that it was his
I.lQme, the town he loved, and where he lived and died.

APPEAL.
The Committee of Management have to state that, since
the beginning of the year 1860, 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
oociety, and other means, since its formation, is 12,800;
lor' which services 82 Gold Medals, 718 Silver Medals, and
£16,480 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu-
tion has also expended £87,000 on Life-boats, Life-boat
Transporting-can iages, and Boat-houses.
The Committee desire to express their grateful seise 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
!,,1 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom.
-'reply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that
'Ns on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient
!rate, and i' %Crews practised in the managerneLt of their
bats, whi^l-, can only be effected by a large and pe:manent
nnual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their
~,_nentrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so
rat and truly national a work.
