EXTRACrS FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR

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

FIRE BRAN.
The Directors have, as pleasinglyCH as unexpectedly, at the
close ty the year, to announce, for the first time, that the Fire
Premiums have not only reached, but exceed E. 300,000.
The high comparative position held by the Royal in the
Government Returns of Duty is ag,in fully msinta.ned.
The profit of the bestness 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 thi Office, the balance tl the credit ou
account of British and Foreign Insurances being. £15,107 10s.

rately, £11,007 16s. 10d.

The very gratifyingLlFE BRANCH-.
duty now falls upon the Directors to
state the sum assured on n w polioies for the year v-6-2
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 rolicies 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 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
futi•re to the pa.rticipating 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. 31l for the year, on which the aggregate tom
proposed for assuran mounts to X 4'1,28. Various degrees
of ineligibility have led to these lives being declined.
No small number of the Assurance i ompanies 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-
slide 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 i, s progress has been undoubtedly more
rabid than that of any other Company 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
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 inay.ni-
tilde, combining distinguished commercial success to the
Office with a let gthened career of usefulness and protection
to the pubic.

This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free

panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be 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 gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.

APPEAL.
The Committee of Management have to state that, since
he beg,inning of the year 1860, the Roym, National Lifeboat
Institution has expended £32,000 on various Lifeboat Estab-
lishments n the Coasts of Eng'and. Scotland, and Ireland.
The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the
Society. nd 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-cart cages, and Boat-houses.
The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of
the generous support which they have received from flie
British public during the past few years, a support which
has enab ed them to establish their present magnificent fleet
of 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom.
Deeply sensib e, however, of the great responsibility that
res's on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient
state, and its Crews practised in the management of their
boats. whi h ca', only be effected by a large and pe.manent
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.
