FIRE BRANCH.

"The Fire Branch has certain y shown no exhaustion dim-
ing the year 1860 of that impetus which had previously
brought it to a position of the first magnitude among the
Insurance Companies of the United Kingdom 'the Fire
Premiums in 1859 had advanced to he sum of £2 8,314 7s. 3d.
In IRe.O the amount of Fire Premiums has arrived at a sum of
£2 2,9'719-. 1 ld.,t.howing an increase of .£31,063 t?s. Bd., nx-
iceeding 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 £60,5.?9 17s. sd.
"The Parliamentary p. rt of Returns of Duty paid to
Government for the year 1860 exhibits the ann-mentation of
the business In a more promine twat', as it affords the means
of comparison with otoer Companies. The Proprietnt a will
be .2rzitified to learn that the increase of Duty paid be the
Royal in the last year is more than double that of any other
Co pany, either London or Provincial, whilst only one of
those Companies even approaches to 50 per cent. of the ad-
vance of th• s Comp ny. Our increase actually • quaffs 30 per
cent. of the entire increase of the whol of he Metropolitan
Offices combined, whilst of the Provincial Offices it forms up-
wards of 30 ner cent. of the total advanceuf the other 2., offices
established out of London,
LIFE BRANCH.

"The Reports of the Company for several years have htd
invariably to announce a cm- stant periodical i,xpansion of its
Life Business, the New Policies of each 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, tr d., wh ch is an increase on that item ut £1,993 17s. sd.
above te am• tint ri,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 present year (1561).
"Tr was not until the commencement of the year that the
Public seemed to hare become fully acquai tel with the fact
th t the Royal Insurance Corn any ban published late in the
last year an account of the investigation into the Assets and
Liabilities of its Life Depart cent, under a nuv,l form, and in
as plain and intelligible a manner as the abstruseness of the
subject admitted, together with the entire statements and
valuations necessary tor 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, teat 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 con'iusive evidence that such is the case
is afford( d the fact that the sum Assured on New Policies
in the six months to the ad June of the present year is ac-
tually 50 per cent in excess of the sum n ssured in the corms-
Tiondiner months of the year 1860, although the latter amount
in it sea exceeded the sum assured in any like previous period
of time

" If this sucress be continued, the Royal Insurance Cm-
pany would, with respect to the amount of its new business,
be at once placed (at least with one or two exe.eotions' at the
head of all the Insurance Companies doing business in this
Countrv, and the anticipations of the last Report, to the
effect that the deta Is of the Li e Business then to he pub-
lished would term an epoch of the Establishment, will have
a speedy and very happy realisation."
