LIFE BRANCH.

"The Reports of the Company for several years have hid
invariably to announce a cor stant periodical expansion of its
Life Business, the New Policies ofench succeeding year show-
ing an advance over the one that had immediately preceded
it. A similar result is shown in the year 1860, the Premiums
on New Policies, after deducting Guarantees, be ng, £15,097
17s, led., which is an increase on that item of £1,993 17s. sd.
above the am, mat ceived for the year 1859.
"But even this advance is small when compared with the
sudden and remarkable momentum which has been given to
this Branch of the Business in the prevent year (18611.
"It was not until the commencement of the year that the
Public seemed to have become fully acquai-ted with the fact
th t the Royal Insurance Corn any had published late in the
last year an account of the investigation into the Assets and
Liabilities of its Life Department, under a novel form, and in
as plain and intelligible a manner as the abstruseness of the
subject admitted, together with the entire statements and
Valuations necessary for that purpose.
" It is conjectured from the extensive Notices of this Pam-
phlet and its accompanying Diagrams, which have appeared
in the Periodicals of the day, t' at it has large], attracted the
attention of vast numbers f 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
is afford, d 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 2, ssured in the corres-
onding* months of the year 1860, although the latter amount
in itself exceeded the sum assured in any like previous period
of time__ .

suceess be continued, the Royal Insurance C.m-
pany would, with respect to the amount of its new business,
be at once placed (at least with one or two exceptions) at the
bead of all the insurance Companies doing business in this
Country, and the anticipations of the last Report, to the
effect that the deta Is of the Li.e Business then to be pub-
lished would form an epoch of the Establishment, will have
,a speedy and very happy realisation."
