EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1860.
The success of the Company, even in its earliest years,
received the marked atteruion, and elicited the surprised
comments, of writers best acquainted with the history of In-
surance Companies.
"Fire Premiums for 1860 EQUAL the Total Fire Premiums
for the SEVEN YEARS 1845 to 1851.
"Life Premiums for 1860 EXCEED the Entire Life Pre-
miums for the EIGHT YEARS ending. 1852.
"Purchase of Annuities in 1860 LARGELY EXCEEDS the
similar receipts for the first TEN YEARS, 1845 to 1854.
"This prog-ress, it is believed, is unsurpassed, considering
that it applies to each of the three branches of the business."
FIRE BRANCH.

"The Fire Branch has certainty shown no exhaustion dur-
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 the sum of £228,314 7s. 3d.
In 1860 the amount of Fire Premiums has arrived at a sum of
£262,977 19s. 11d., showing an increase of £34,663 128. &1., ex-
ceeding the large advance of the preceding year, so that in
two years the Fire Revenue of the Company has been en-
hanced by the enormous sum of £66,829175. 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 lily. Our increase actually equals 30 per
cent. of the entire increase of the whole of she Metropolitan
Offices combined, whilst of the Provincial Offices it forms up-
wards of 30 per cent. of the total advance of the other 2S 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
it. A similar result is shown in the year 1860, the Premiums
on New Policies, after deducting Guarantees, be ne.,, £15,097
17s, led., which is an increase on that item of £1,993 17s. 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 beengiven to
this 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
that 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 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, that it has largely attracted the
attention of vast numbers of 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 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-
ponding months of the year 1860, although the latter amount
in itself 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 planed (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 details of the Life Business then to be pub-
lished would form an epoch of the Establishment, will have
a speedy and very happy realisation."

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S-MONDAY.

Although the room was opened on Saturday, in order to
afford an opportunity for collecting the outstanding Good-
wood accounts, and for the Brighton settling, yet, from the
many "balance-sheets" which were mill displayed, it was
evident that the business of paying ,ana receiving was far
from concluded. Complaints of the tardiness with which
the Goodwood and other accounts have been "squared''
were almost general, and it is to be hoped that next year the
original Goodwood settling day—the Monday after the
racss—will be restored. The inconvenience which has been
experienced by " appropriating" it to Lewes races has ex-
cited much wellfounded dissatisfaction. To-day several of
the principal bookmakers were absent, having departed for
Wolverhampton, whilst many "gentlemen speculators"
were off to the moors. Business, therefore, made little pro-
gress. Indeed, the leading topic of conversation through-
out the afternoon was the unsatisfactory nature of the
Goodwood settling. The following scanty list of quotations
comprises all the business transacted :

Commander, and Donna del Lago, soon took a slight lead,

they were joined by Forester, and the four ran a good race

without avail, as Emblem came on and won easily by half
a length, Caledon beating the favourite for second place

course before starting. When they were got off, Balham
with Sir William and Flirtation rushed to the front and
carried on the running for about a quarter of a mile, when
The Lawyer shot ahead and made all the remainder of the
running, winning cleverly by a neck, Sir William beating
