"This progress, it is believed,is unsurpassed, considerino*
hat It applies to each of the three branches of the business."

"The Fire Branch has certain y shown no exhaustion dur-

Insurance Companies of the United Kingdom. The Fire
Premiums in 1859 had advanced to the sum of £208,314 7s. 3d.
In 1860 the amount of Fire Premiums has arrived at a sum of
£252,977 19s. 11d., showing an increase of £34,663 I2s. Bd., ex-
reeding the large advance of the preceding* year, so that in
two years the Fire Revenue of the Company has been en-
h need by the enormous sum of £66,829 17s. sd.
"The Parliamentary Report of Returns of Duty paid to
Government for the year 1860 exhibits the augmentation of
the business In a more promine,,t way, as it affords the rneaps
of comparison with otter 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
Corr pang, either London or Provincial, whilst only one of
those Companies even approaches to N per cent. of the ad-
vance of this Comp ny. Our increase actually equals 30 per
rent. of the entire increase of the whole of he Metropolitan
Offices combined, whilst of the Provincial Offices it forms up-
wards of 30 per cent. of the total advanceof the other 2S offices
established out of London.
