EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1860.

"The success of the Company, even in its earliest years,
received the marked atten,ion, 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 EXCI, ED the Entire Life Pre-
miums for the EIGHT YEARS ending 1852.
"Purchase of Annuities in 1860 LARGELY EXCEEDS the
similar receipt, for the first TEN YEARS, 1845 to 1854.
This progress, it is believed, is unsurpassed, c,ousidering
t it applies to each of the three branches of the business."
FIRE BRANCH.
"The Fire Branch has certain y shown no exhaustion dor-
tng 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
-1.-rerniums in 1859 had advanced to the sum of £228,314 7s. 3d.
',,va 1860 the amount of Fire Premiums has arrived at a sum of
2i',2,977 19s. lid., showing an increase of £34,663 12s. Bd., ex-
reding the large advance of the preceding year, so that in
I,Wo Years the 'Fire Revenue of the Company has been en-
hanced by the enormous sum of £66,829 17s. 5
"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
be gratified tow 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
"Ices combined, whilst of the Provincial Offices it forms up-
Wards
of 30 per cent. of the total advance of the other 28 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
/
ue Business, the New Policies of each succeeding year shovv.
VP', an advance over the one that had immediately preceded
t• A similar result is shown in the year 1860, the Premiums
?.,n New Policies, after deducting Guarantees, be ng £15,097
0, led., which is an increase on that item of £1,993 17s. sd.auove 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
'Ws Branch of the Business in the present year (1861).
"It was not until the commencement of the ear that the
Public seemed to have become fully acquainted year that the
U)lic 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
; B,Plain and intelligible a manner as the abstruseness of the
floiect admitted, together with the entire statements and
Valuations necessary for that purpose.
" It is conjectured from the extensive Notices of this Pam-
tlet and its accompanying Diagrams, which have appeared
the Periodicals a the day, that it has largely attracted the
attention of vast numbers of Persons in all parts of the United
-r‘ing.dom, as well as in other parts of the World. Indeed a
larost satisfactory and conclusive evidence that such is the case
1a afforded by the fact that the sum Assured on New Policies
the six months to the 3d June of the present year is ac-
malty 50 per cent. in excess of the sum assured in the corres-
Ponding months of the year 1860, although the latter amount
to itself exceeded the sum assured in any like previous period
of time.
"If this success be continued, the Royal Insurance Cora-
Pany would, with respect to the amount of its new business,
Oe 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 deta Is of the Lie Business then to be pub-
lished would form an epoch of the Establishment, will have
a speedy and very happy realisation."
