"This progress, it is believed, is unsurpassed, considering
that it applies to each of the three branches of the business."

FIRE BRANCH.
"The Fire Branch has certain y shown no exhaustion dim-
)", th 18
e year 60 of that impetus which had previously
Vrought it to a position of the first magnitude among the
surance Companies of the United Kingdom. The Fire
.„411
einiums in 1859 had advanced to the sum of £228,314 7s. 3d.
4.,sti 1860 the amount of Fire Premiums has arrived at a sum of
•z2'2,977 19s. 11d., showing an increase of £31,663 12s. Bd., ex-
!Reding the large advance of the preceding year, so that in
..'WO years the Fire Revenue of the Company has been en-
Go need by the enormous sum of X 66,829 17s. sd.
" The Parliamentary Report of Returns of Duty paid to
vrnment for the year 1860 exhibits the augmentation of
the business in a more prominent way, as it affords the means
IT Comparison with other Companies. The Proprietors will
e VJatified to learn that the increase of Duty paid by the
Royal in the last year is more than double that of any other
ti,(,)rePnY, either London or Provincial, whilst only one of
ose Companies even approaches to 50 per cent. of the camead-
of this Comp ny. Our increase actually equals 30 per
of the entire increase Of the whole of he Metropolitan
offices combined, whilst of the Provincial Offices it forms up-
Wards of 30 per cent. of the total advance of the other 25 offices
established out of London,

LIFE BRANCH.
`The Reports of the Company for several years have had
invariably to announce a constant periodical expansion of its
Life Business, the New Policies of each succeeding year show-
ing an advance over the one that had immediately preceded
t. A similar result is shown in the year 1860, the Premiums
2_4 New Policies, after deducting Guarantees, be ng, £15,097
"8, 10d., which is an increase on that item of £1,993 17a. sd.
above the amount received for the year 1859.
"But even this advance is small when compared with the
tfdden and remarkable momentum which has been given to
is Branch of the Business in the present year (1861).
"It was not until the commencement of the year that the
Public seemed to have become fully acquainted with the fact
th t the Royal Insurance Company had published late in the
Liabilities
Year an account of the investigation into the Assets and
'abilities of its Life Department, under a novel form, and in
auplain and intelligible a manner as the abstruseness of the
biect admitted, together with the entire statements and
valuations necessary for that purpose.
," It is conjectured from the extensive Notices of this Pam-
Vet and its accompanying Diagrams, which have appeared
he Periodicals of the day, that it has largely attracted the
attention of vast numbers iI Persons in all parts of the United
Kingdom, as well as in other parts of the World. Indeed a
most satisfactory and conclusive evidence that such is the case
!B afforded by the fact that the sum Assured on New Policies
in the six months to the 3d June of the present year is ac-
tually 50 per cent. in excess of the sum assured in the corres-
107tnidmin: months of the year 1860, although the latter amount
lu itself exceeded the sum assured in any like previous period

"If this success be continued, the Royal Insurance Cam-
tany would, with respect to the amount of its new business,
e at once placed (at least with one or two exceptions) at the
head of all the Insurance Companies doing' business in this
Country, and the anticipations of the last Report, to the
ffect that the details of the Lire Business then to be pub-
lished would form an epoch of the Establishment, will have
a speedy and very happy realisation."
