i.Th?,tlnual meeting of the Shareholders In
this i Company wnn held yesterday, at 11 o'clock.
b the Central Olllces of the Company, North

LiXlrao ts from the
REPORT FOR TEE TEAR 1SW5.
The year Ihco, which comprises the period to
be embraced in the present Annual K.'port of
the business of the Royal Insurance Company,
has becu marked, as the previous year was, by
conflagrations In some cases Individually large,
but stll more by fires all bnt unexampled In
numbers both here and abroad.
Notwithstanding the facts that ap-aln the
Revenue of the Company for the year has ulti
mately turned out to be larger, and that the
Claims have proved somewhat less than they
were estimated, the unsatisfactory result of the
entire year Is shown by the Accounts whloh
Will be read to jou in detail, giving a final lo.ss
on the
FIUK BRANCH
or 28,103 13s. lid. (814(1,815).
Whilst it is undoubtedly true that an occa
sional balance, to the debit, of such a compara
tively small sum as this in such large tnnwo
Hons, would be, in Itself, of minor conso
quenoe, 11 becomes significant when combined
wltti the results of two successive years, eaoh
bearing more or less the same characteristics;
and ll assumes a still more grave importance
When aocompanleU by reports of kindred eata
bllshmenlsexblbltitiga like phase of experience
over a like period, and especially when some of
these count a ratio of disasters far exoeeding
that which the Directors of this Company have
to announce.
This dlt-closure of nn Increasing amount of
loss attending Fire Insurance business gene
rally, now shown unmistakably to exist by
successive announcements from all sides, and
the consequent Impression that elements of
risk not pre-existing, or, at any rate, not so to
the same extent, are now In foroe, have led to
an increased caution on the part of the Execu
tive of i his Company In accepting the Fire Pro-
fiotals, and to other remedial measures refer
ng to the personal characters of proposed In
surers, which at flrslslgbt would have appeared
calculated to induce a large reduction In the
business of the year.
The Impetus, however, of a long' continued
progression could not, even by these means, be
speedily reduced. It thus ultimately turns out,
notwithstanding these retarding Influences
designedly applied to the business, that, with
the exception of one company, whose affairs
nave been conducted for the last two or three
years with considerable vigor, no other Insu
rance office bas paid the same Increase on fire
duty to the Government in the year as the
" Royal." This Is shown by the usual test of
the Government returns, ordered to be printed
by the House of Commons. It is evident,
therefore, that If the checks adverted to had
not been applied, the advanoe of the last year
would have been equal to that of any year In
the records of the Establishment.
The faot is, indeed, amply verified by the foU,
lowing comparative statement oi tne fire
Business for the last five years, viz.:
Premium.
1862 300.690
1863 341,668
1864 400,403
JK66 414,733
1866 417,271
The Improvement of rates shown to have
been happily obtained Is, of course, of too
recent a date to have bad much Influence yet
on the revenue or profit of the Company. It Is,
however, a matter of satisfaction to announce
that. Independently of this new advantage, to
be regarded prospectively, the operations of
tne past six montns oi tne present year nave
been productive of a fair amount of profit.
This favorable change has very properly had Its
Influence In the determination of the Directors
in their recommendation of the amount of
dividend and bonus to be declared at this
men ting,
LIFE BRANCH.
The present aspect and future prospects of the
Iilte Branch remain as promising as ever, and
It Is confidently believed that the measures to
be announced on this oocasion will lead to Its
lnci eased permanent prosperity.
The report of the last year exhibited the pro
gress of the Company by grouping the Sums As
sured Into Four quinquennial periods, showing
In the-
lsl period of 5 years to 1849 a total sum Assured
of . 272,798
2d " " " 1854 " 733,408
8d " " " 1S59 " " 1,655,678
4th " " " 1864 " " 8,439,1115
Two years have now expired of a fresh quin
quennial period, and It cannot but be deemed
satisfactory evidence of great success to find
that In those years (1865 and 1866), assurances
have been effected to the extent of 1,748,571.
being more than the entire five years to the 3d
period, viz.. to 1859 inclusive.
It can be shown that in those same two years
the standard of eligibility has been strictly
maintained, as 774 Lives have been declined In
the period for no less an aggregate Sum Assured
than 418,975 12s. 3d.
These figures should not be passed over un
heeded, sinoe they Indicate clearly the caution
still exercised in accepting Lives, and they form
the weigbtlestargument to Induce good Lives to
elect a Company which gives to Its Assurers an
entire body of copartners with the best, pros
dects of longevity.
ThA nirnr.tnra would ae-aln refer to the esti
mate In the last Aoturlal Report of a probable
Increase to tue Lire ana Annuity r uau oi uu
-Minion HtAritne' in ten vears. or of 100.000 an

to those funds In the past year Is 124,1& vs. oa

Tha nimMnn nrnnoaA to the Proorletors that
a Dividend be declared of 8s. per Share and a
Bonus of 4s. per share, togetner s. per ou,
urn ui locuiui uu.
The considerations which have ladnoed the
Plreetors to propose a continuance of the same
Dividend and Bonus for the present year have
been partly anticipated in a preceuiug par
sranh of the Report.
It Is true that the payment of tv e dividend

pllshed wit hout encroaching on the amount of

u, nnnntrr.itvu not anticlDaed
(until the acoounts were made up and found to
exhibit more favorable features than expected)
that the Dividend could be paid out of Profit

made bis first appearance last evening, at As

pend upon his personation of funny characters
alone, but shines brightly as an elocutionist of
the most brilliant character his recitations
being reoel ved with rounds of applause. When
he depicted the different changes in his faolal
reportolre, we never beard an audience laugh
more heartily. Miss Helen Nash Is a young

The fall campaign in local politics was duly
Inaugurated lust evening on the part of the
Democracy, with whom, of course, are to be
counted the magnificently small number of
Johnsonlzed Republicans with whloh this com
munity is blessed. The first thing to be done
was the selection of delegates to no less than
fifty different conventions, for which purpose
polls in eaoh precinct, even where the Demo
cracy and their friends scarcely reach the
dimensions of a corporal's guard In point of
numDers, were Kept open irom o o'oiook iu tue
afternoon until 8 o'clock In the evening. It
having been already settled that Oeneral Peter
Lyle was to be the candidate for Sheriff, that
gentleman received a very heavy and flattering
vote; in addition to which, It was generally
understood that Oeneral Ballier was the
favorite candidate for City Commissioner.
For the other offices there were several
aspirants who were willing to saorlflce
their personal Interest for the good of
the public at large, and therefore quite an ani
mated contest took place. In several of the
Legislative districts the contest between the
rival candidates was extremely animated: this
being the case more especially In the Third
Senatorial, and Third, Thirteenth, and Fif
teenth Representative Districts, in all of whloh
considerable comusion prevailed, xne meeting
of the Judicial Convention was fixed for 2
o'clock this afternoon, but wltn this single ex
ception the time of meeting was JW o'clock this
morning.
The Third District Senatorial Con-
Ttillon
made a desperate attempt to get together at ten
o'clock, the place of meeting belug the third
story of Ladner's Military Hall, No. o32 N. Third
street, liut no sooner nau a temporary organi
zation been effected than it was discovered that
a ereat number of seats were contested, and it
required a long time and an immense amount of
talking to settle their uimcuities, before a per
manent organization could be effected and the
resuiar worn or tne aav commenced in earnest.
Meanwhile, the saloon below, and the sidewalks
and street In front, were fearfully crowded
with canvassers of the u in ere at candi
dates, and sundry lookers-on, who
considered the occasion a fitting one for a regu
lar joinncaiion. Tne contest ior tne nomina
tion was a quadrangular one, the rival aspirants
for senatorial honors being Charles M. Dono
van, David Nagle, George Q,uigley, and James
Donneney.
