EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR
1862.
The Directors of the Royal Insurance Company are now
called upon to make their accustomedperiodical Report at the
Meeting of its Shareholders.

FIRE BRANCH.
The Directors have, as pleasingly as unexpectedly, at the
close o the year, to announce, for the first time, that the Fire
Premiums have not only reached, but exceed £300,000.
The high couroarative position held by the Royal in the
Government Returns of Duty is agiin fully maintained.
The profit of the business of the year exceeds considerably
the amount realised in the preceding year, and in tact sur-
passes that of any year, with but two exceptions, sine- the
commencement of thi Office, the balance t, the credit on
account of British and Foreign Insurances being £15,102 10s.

state the sum assured on n w 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
F 01,427 on 1,498 new policies issued. Until within the last
tew Years it is believed that such a sum assured as that which
uati 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
future to the participating life assurer.
