LIFE BRANCH.

"rue Reports of the Company for several years have had
invariably to announce a constant periodical expansion of its
Lifri Business, the New Policies of each somwding year show-
Jur; an advance over the one that had immediately preceded
it. A similar result is shown in the year 1860, the Premiums
.on' Nevi Policies, after deducting Guarantees, be ng £15,097
17s, tod., which is an increase on that item of £1,993175. sd.
above the amnunt 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
tht 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
subkeet admitted, together with the entire statements and
'9:Ovations necessaryf or that purpose.
" It is conjectured from the extensive Notices of this Pam-
lphlet and its accompanying Diagrams, which have appeared
'in the Periodicals of the day, teat it has largeN 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 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 /, ssnred in the corres-
ponding months of the year 1860, although the latter amount
in Putt exceeded the sum assured in any like previous period
of time

"If this success be continued, the Royal Insurance Com-
any would, with respect to the amount of its new business,
ihe at once placed (at least with one or two exceptions\ at the
lead 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."
