EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR

1862.
The Directors of the Royal 'lltsurance 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
Close o' 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 sodu fully m.intained.
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, since the
commencement of this Office, the balance to the credit on
account of British and Foreign Insurances being £45,107 10s.
5d., and of the North American business, which is kept sepas
rarely, £11,097 16s. 10d.
LITE BRANCH.
The very gratifying- duty now falls upon the Directors to
state the sum assured on row policies for the year 1F•62
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 acsured as that which
has just been announced as the result of one year's business
Was all but unheard or.
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
fut,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 assuranv s mounts to £ ' 43,28 I. 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
all, exceeding those which the Royal has declared as inadmis-
stole 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 its progress has been undoubtedly more
rapid than that of any other Company established either in
Lond3n or elsewhere, except when amalo-arnations have taken
Place. The returns of duty have proved this. In Life, the
amount Of New Policies already reported make all other
evidence needless.
expression
eDire3tors conclude their present Report with the
linosuraneG of an opinion that the prospects of the Royal
Company were never brighter, and of a consequent
