:TRACTS FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR

The 1862.
Directors of the Royal Insurance Company are now
biee 11Pon to make their accustomed periodical Report at the
of its Shareholders.

FIRE BRANCH.
pirectors have, as pleasingl as unexpectedly, at the
14, .e 0, the year, to announce, for Ae first time, that the Fire
'„,e;alunis have not only reached, but exceed £300,0u0-
~..ne high comparative position held by the Royal in the
"„,v,ernment Returns of Duty is again fully maintained.
th'Lle profit of the business of the year exceeds co.nsiderably
Posses amount realised in the preceding year, and in fact sur-
,„ "es that of any year, with but two exceptions, since the
Z'ramencement of thi. Office, the balance to the credit on
Zecount of British and Foreign Insurances bein£4s,lo7 10s.
,„”(1-, and et' the North American business, whichis kept sepa-
alelY, £11,097 16s. 10d.
LIFE BRANCH.
The very gratifying duty now falls upon the Directors to
State the sum assured on n.ve policies for fhe year 1562
exceeds even that of the year 1861 by £190,000, 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 aesured as that which
has just been announced as the result of one year's business
Was all but unheard of.
This portion of the Company's business has been carefully
1,-atched, and cannot fail to give much satisfaction to the
t'hareholder, as well as no small encouragement for the
ktere 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
or°Posed for assuran^e amounts to .£ ' 43,281. Various degrees
f Ineligibility have led to these lives being declined.
X 0 small number of the Assurance Companies of the day
,tord their accepted lives annually at a sum not much. if at
,
exeeedine, those which the Royal has declared as inadmis-
-I'l6l e in a single year from deterioration of some kind or
ko th ,r.
If, to complete their review, the Directors now advert
;briefly to the United Kingdom, they have to announce that
111 Fire Business its progress has been undoubtedly more
~anid than that of any other Company established either in
-Loud in 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, to, nded on a grateful remembrance of the past, that
the future may unfold for it a sphere of still greater maeni-
combining. distinguished commercial success to the
Office with a le_ gthened career of usefulness and protection
to the pubic.
