FIRE BRANCH,

"The Fire Branch has certain y shown no exhaustion dar-
ing the year 1860 of that impetus which had previously
brought it to a position of the first magnitude among the
Insurance Companies or the United Kingdom. The Fire
Premiums in 1859 had advanced to the sum of £2°8,314 7s. 3d.
In 1860 the amount of Fire Premiums has arrived at a sum of
£2 '2,977195. Ild., showing an increase of £34,663 12s. Bd., ex-
ceeding the large advance of the preceding year, so that in
two years the Fire Revenue of the Company has been en-
It need by the enormous sum of £66,829 17s. sd. •
" The Parliamentary Report of Returns of Duty paid to
Government for the year 1860 exhibits the augmentation of
the business in a more prominent way, as it affords the means
of comparison with other Companies. The Proprietors will
be gratified to learn that the increase of Duty paid by the
Royal in the last year is more than double that of any other
Company, either London or Provincial, whilst only one of
those Companies even approaches to 50 per cent. of the ad-
vance of this Comp ,ny. Our increase actually equals 30 per
cent. 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 offices
emtablished out of London.
LIFE BRANCH. _ _

"The Reports of tine company tor several years hay /,
Invariably to announce a constant periodical expansion of its
Life Business, the New Policies ofeach 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 mr, £15,097
175, ltd., which is an increase on that item of £1,993 173. sd.
above the amount received 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 present year (18611.
"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
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 intellig.,Tible 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, that it has largely attracted the
attention of vast numbers •f Persons in all parts of the United
Kingdcm, as well as in other parts of the World. Indeed a
most satisfactory and conclusive evidence that such is the case
is afOrded by the fact that the stun 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-
ponding, months of the year 1860, although the latter amount
in it self exceeded the sum assured in any like previous period
of time
"If this success be continued, the Royal Insurance Com-
pany would, with respect to the amount of its new business,
be 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
effect that the detals of the LVe Business then to be pub-
lished would form an epoch of the Establishment, will have
a speedy and very happy realisation."

TOZEAU'S COPAHINE, or SACCHARATED
CAPSULES.—Copaiba and Cubeba are doubtless the
best remedies, but these drugs arc of a repulsive taste and
odour, and occasion colicky pains, nausea, and gastric dis-
turbance. M..ozeau has succeeded in rendering these valu-
able therapeutic agents t erfectly innocuous by increasing in
his Copahine all t e curative properties. This preparation
has been adopted by the Paris Academy of Medicine, after
more than a thousand trials in Paris and the different Lon-
don hospitals, viz., tit. Thomas's, Guy's, and St. Liartholo-
mew's, under the care 01 Messrs. Lloyd, Poland, and Lezros
Clark. —" Lancet," Nov. 6 and Dec. 10, 1857. The Copahine,
which is in form of a pretty pink sugar plum, effects a cure
in about six days, either in recenPort chronic disea.pes. 100

REVIEWS OF THE WORK.
"Curtis on !Manhood.---This is a truly valuable work, and
should be in the hands of young and old."—" Sunday Times,"
23d Xarch, 1856.
"The author has conferred a great boon by publishing this
little work, in which is described the source of those diseases
Which produce decline in youth " or more frequently premature
old age."—" Daily Telegraph, March 27, 1855.
" This work, which for twenty years has stood the test of
professional criticism and empirical hostility, treats in aplain
and sympathising manner on the various disqualifications
and impediments arising from nervous excitement and de-
bility ; and to invalids suffering from youthful errors and
excesses it will be found valuable and useful."—Record.
