RESOURCES.

In like manner, the entire Funds in hand of thirteen offices are quoted, in “The Times,” at £1,238,688, including the Royal, which alone is £372,394, and which is, therefore, equal to 43 per Cent. of the accumulated funds of the remaining twelve offices, viz. for the Year 1855. Since increased to £600,000.

EXTRACTS FROM REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1856.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.

“In directing the attention of the Proprietors to the continued and continuing increase of the Fire Department, the Directors on this occasion prefer to cite the proofs afforded by public Official Documents rather than to offer anticipations founded solely on their own investigations.

“They are now enabled to exhibit the advance in the British Fire Business of the Company, on the indisputable evidence of the “Parliamentary Return of Duty paid to Government” in the year 1856, recently ordered to be printed by the House of Commons.

“The Statistics of that Return establish the fact, than which none can be conceived more fitted to prove that No Insurance Company, ancient or modern, is advancing more speedily than the Royal Insurance Company in the confidence of the British People.
