EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR

The Directors of the RoyallB62 Insursnee company are nowcalled upon to make their accustomed periodical Report at the
fleeting of its Shareholders.

FIRE BRANCH.
The Directors have, as p'easingly as unexpectedly, at the
close ot 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
Coyernment Returns of Duty is again fully msinta'ned.
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, sines the
commencement of thi. Office, the balance to the credit on
account of British and Foreign Insurances being £15,107 10s.
5d., and of the North American business, which is kept sepal.
rately, £11,097 16s. 10d.
LIFE 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 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 aosured 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
watched, and cannot tail to give much satisfaction to the
shareholder, as well as no small encouragement for the
lut,*re 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 mounts to £ 43,281. Various degrees
ot 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 inadmis-
sicle in a single year frousi 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 Compsnv established either in
London 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
Insuranc.: 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 mauni-
tude, combining' distinguished commercial success to the
Office with a lengthened career of usefulness and protection
to the public.
