EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1860.
The success of the Company, even in its earliest years,
nived the marked atten• ion, and elicited the surprised
iruents, of writers best acquainted with the history of In-
Illace Companies.
1„` the SEVENre Premiu
YmsEARS 1845 to 18 for 1860 EQUALSI the Total Fire Premiums
Life Premiums tor 1860 EXCFED the Entire Life Pre-
-2
for the EIGHT Y FARS ending 1852.
'Purchase of Annuities in 1860 LARGELY EXCEEDS the
aitnilar receipt 4 for the first TEN YEARS, 1845 to 1854.
~``This progress, it is believed, is unsurpassed, considering
,at it applies to each of the three branches of the business."

FIRE BRANCH.
The Fire Branch has certain y shown no exhaustion dim-
j39' the year 1860 of that impetus which had previously
Itollght it to a position of the first magnitude among the
IPrgurance Companies of the United Kingdom. The Fire
I,,enliums in 1859 had advanced to the sum of £2,8,314 7s. 3d.
1860 the amount of Fire Premiums has arrived at a sum of
Ze4 2 , 977 19s. 11d., showing an increase of £34,663 12s. Bd., ex-
Ccillig the large advance of the preceding year, so that in
years the Fire Revenue of the Company has been en-
by the enormous sum of £66,829 17s. sd.
"The Parliamentary Report of Returns of Duty paid to
KOvernment for the year 1860 exhibits the angmentation of
tlie business In a more prominent way, as it affords the means
13,c°InParison with other Companies. The Proprietors will
Rratified to learn that the increase of Duty paid by the
"''Yal in the last year is more than double that of any other
11?:PanY, either London or Provincial, whilst only one of
1,4:e Companies even approaches to 50 per cent. of the ad-
ce of this Comp ny. Our increase actually equals 30 per
o.t. of the entire increase of the whole of he Metropolitan
I,giefs combined, whilst of the Provincial
ofdffices it forms up-
teus of 30 per cent. of the total advance the other 2S offices
tabliehed out of London.

LIFE BRANCH.
ip:The Reports of the Company for several years have had
Larlably to announce a constant periodical expansion of its
ihue Business, the New Policies of each succeeding year show-
ii"4 an advance over the one that had immediately preceded
f„. A similar result is shown in the year 1860, the Premiums
iT New Policies, after deducting Guarantees, be n,g £15,097
aB3 I°cl, which is an increase on that item of £1,993 173. sd.
, 're the amount received for the year 1859.
ut even this advance is small when compared with the
this and remarkable momentum which has been given to
'ls Branch of the Business in the present year (1861). •
'lt was not until the commencement of the year that the
:ablthsee Royal
emed to have become fully
had
with the fact
;hit lnsurance Company 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
48 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-
Wet and its accompanying Diagrams, which have appeared
ta the Periodicals of the day, that it has largely attracted the
attention of vast numbers of Persona 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
ill 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-
tadingi months of the year 1860, although the latter amount
ex
selfexceeded the sum assured in any like previous period
tme.
"If this success be continued, the Royal Insurance Cora-
tilY would, with respect to the amount of its new business,
at once placed (at least with one or two exceptions) at the
he d of all th. Insurance Companies doing business in this
7,
'ountry, and the of the last Report, to the
iTet that the details or tho Life Business then to be haves
s form an epoch of the Emtahlishment, will have
tPeedy and very happy realisation."
