Pierce’s Important Improvements in Warming and Ventilating,
MANUFACTORY AND WAREHOUSE, 5 JERMYN STREET, REGENT STREET.
PIERCE solicits attention to his unrivalled
PYRO-PNEUMATIC WARMING AND VENTILATING STOVE-GRATE,
For the production of Healthful Warmth, with UNCEASING and SELF-ACTING VENTILATION, and the open cheerful fire, for Warming Churches, Chapels, Infant and other Schools, Public Rooms, Entrance Halls, &c., &c., with a pure wholesome atmosphere, now fully established in public opinion as the best economical Stove-Grate yet submitted to public notice, at
Prices from £7 10s. to £21.
These Grates are now adapted to meet the requirements of every description of room or building where ventilation and comfortable warmth are desirable, and may be seen in daily use at Lloyd’s Rooms, Royal Exchange; at the Bank of Messrs. Alexander and Co., Lombard Street; in the Lecture Rooms of Guy’s Hospital; at the University Hall, Gordon Square; at Westminster Chapel, near Buckingham Palace; at the Albert Life Office, Waterloo Place; at the Linnean Society’s Great Room, Burlington House, and numerous other places.
The best and cheapest Grate for all useful purposes is
PIERCE’S UNIVERSAL FIRE-LUMP GRATE
Which requires no fixing, being made in one piece, having strong octagon bars and bottom, with capacious and safe hobs, complete. Prices, 11s. 6d., 13s. 6d., 22s. 6d., and 25s.
Also his IMPROVED COTTAGER’S GRATE, for warming Two Rooms with only one fire. Prices, 30s. and 35s. Also
PIERCE’S CELEBRATED FRESH AIR ECONOMICAL RADIATING Warming and Ventilating Fire-Lump Grates,
as supplied to the various Wards of the London Hospital; the Philological Schools in the New Road, Marylebone; to the New Infirmary at Guildford; to the Bank at Wells, Huntingdon County Hospital, &c., &c., where they can be seen in use, producing salubrious warmth with continuous ventilation, highly satisfactory to all parties, being the most economical and useful Fresh Air Grates that are at present made. Prices from 30s. to 150s. according to the spaces required to be warmed.
THE ECONOMY OF FUEL is most important, as nearly one-half of the coals uselessly burnt without perceptible benefit will now, with the Fresh Air Fire-Lump Grates, be more than sufficient to produce an equable temperature and perfect ventilation in any room or school to which they may be applied. It does not now depend upon the reflected heat, as was the case formerly, but the fresh-warmed air continuously supplied is fully equal to the radiant heat given off from the open fire.
PROSPECTUSES, with Illustrated Sketches of these Improvements, with Plans, Sections, and Elevations, for the use of the Architects and Gentlemen who may be building or altering Schools, Class Rooms, Hospitals, &c. PRICES of such Grates, and their proportions, may be obtained of the Inventor and Manufacturer,

RICHMOND & CHANDLER’S PRIZE CHAFF-CUTTING MACHINE.
This remarkably successful machine has now been before the public for some years, during which time it has received the most distinguished honours that could be awarded—the First Prizes of all the National Societies, and the highest commendations of the Judges of all the principal Societies in Great Britain. In testing the comparative value of machinery the first consideration is, the power required to work the same: in other words, the power required to overcome the friction of the different parts of the machinery. Richmond & Chandler beg to observe that the utmost attention is given to the fitting and the perfecting of all the working parts of their machines, which they are determined shall continue to maintain their high position and well-earned celebrity. On the trial of Chaff Cutters, the following report is found in the leading journal:—
“CHAFF-CUTTING ENGINES.—In this class of implements, Messrs. Richmond and Chandler have surpassed everything that has been produced before, inasmuch as their new machine does the same amount of work, with 45 per cent. less power, in the same time, thereby reducing the expense of this important operation. Choking in the feed—an evil to which the best of these machines have hitherto been more or less liable—is scarcely possible, from the form of toothed rollers applied. Altogether the getting up is well worthy the reputation of the inventors.”
The true and unsolicited testimonial here given more than confirms the above report of the Times:—
“To Messrs. Richmond and Chandler.
“Gentlemen,—I herewith enclose you a cheque for the amount of your Chaff Cutter, No. 4. I had the opportunity of putting it to a strong test throughout the winter, and have much pleasure to inform you that it has given me perfect satisfaction. I had been in the habit of using a machine for years that had obtained a high degree of celebrity with the Royal Agricultural Association, but I was obliged to get rid of it on account of the amount of labour it required, and the impossibility of making it feed itself. All these objections are fully obviated by your machine. A neighbour of mine has another of them, and he is equally pleased with his. I remain, gentlemen, yours, &c.,

THE GREAT BOTANIC MEDICINE.
DR. TORRENS’ PURE HERBAL PILLS.
No language can convey an adequate idea of the immediate and almost miraculous change produced by making use of these Pills in the diseased, debilitated, and shattered nervous system. To print all the letters of thanks received from different individuals, describing the great benefit received by making use of this medicine, would fill a book larger than the Bible! The relaxed and debilitated body and nerves are at once rebraced, restored, enlivened, and built up. The mental and physical symptoms of all disease vanish together under its influence—the stooping trembling victim of depression or debility becomes a new man; he stands erect; he moves with a firm step; his mind, which was previously sunk in gloom, becomes bright, buoyant, active, and he goes forth refreshed, regenerated, and conscious of new vigour, to his accustomed occupation. And the effect is not temporary; on the contrary, the relief is permanent; for the cordial properties of the medicine reach the constitution itself, and restores it to its first condition. Well may this preparation be called the Medical Wonder of the nineteenth century. It is, indeed, that miracle of medicine that stimulates without producing a corresponding depression. In all diseases of the stomach and digestive organs it never fails, and by setting the stomach to rights, all the other functions of the body are sure to be set to rights also. In cases of headache, vertigo, pain in the face and nerves, and all the varied train of nervous affections, these pills perform a cure in an astonishing short period of time. They also remove depression, excitement, restlessness, want of sleep, a dislike to society, incapacity for business, loss of memory, confusion, giddiness, blood in the head, melancholy, mental debility, hysteria, indecision, wretchedness, &c. They increase and restore the appetite, strengthen the emaciated, renew the health of those who have destroyed it, cause a continued cheerfulness, and prolong life to the latest possible period.
The following Testimonial of the great value of TORRENS’ HERBAL PILLS is taken out of thousands:—
“To the Proprietor of Torrens’ Herbal Pills. 53, Church-street, Blackburn.
“Sir,—I have just received the twelve dozen of Dr. Torrens’ Herbal Pills, which I am happy to observe are going off in a very satisfactory manner. Since I last wrote you, I have had frequent testimonials from various persons, old and young, of their beneficial effects—several of whom have stated that they consider the Herbal Pills not only an excellent medicine for correcting vicious humours in the system, but also efficacious in purifying the blood, relieving the liver, cleansing the intestines, and producing vigorous reaction in the whole arterial system.
“Yours faithfully, Charles Tiplady, Bookseller.”
*** Parties desirous of selling Torrens’ Herbal Pills can be supplied, at wholesale prices, by Messrs. Parry and Son, Booksellers, Chester; or from any of the Wholesale Houses. Sold also by Mrs. Dutton, City Walls.
Should the reader find any difficulty in procuring a box of Dr. Torrens’ Pills, he can send 15 postage stamps to Richard Brook, Printer, Buxton-road, Huddersfield, when a box will be returned by post to any part of the Kingdom.

GEORGE HOTEL, BANGOR FERRY, NORTH WALES.
In returning her grateful thanks for the patronage and support which she has received during the last fifteen years,
MISS ROBERTS
begs to inform her friends and the public, that during the winter season she has added to the comforts and accommodation at “THE GEORGE,” on a scale calculated to meet its present requirements.
Among the buildings now added to “THE GEORGE,” is a New Coffee Room, on a magnificent scale; adjoining which, and fitted up in a style appropriate for evening reception, is an Octagonal Drawing-Room of corresponding proportions. Above is a new range of Sleeping Apartments, which enables Miss Roberts to make up forty additional beds.
The Stables have been much enlarged and improved; the Carriage and Posting departments having, at the same time, undergone thorough revision.
Additional Hot and Cold Baths have been built, and are always ready.
Sea-Bathing may be enjoyed at the foot of the grounds.
Omnibuses from “THE GEORGE” meet every train at Bangor Station.
Liverpool Steamers ply to and from Bangor Ferry daily.
Pleasure and Sailing Boats are in constant attendance, and the Sea Fishing in the Straits opposite the house seldom fails to afford sport.
“THE GEORGE” is lighted by gas manufactured for its sole use, and free from any impurity.
Two Tables d’Hôte are served daily; one at 3, and the other at 6, P.M.
The House is, as usual, supplied with Wines of the first class.
The growing necessity which Miss Roberts has of late experienced for more ample accommodation, to meet the requirements of the increased numbers who honour her house with their patronage, has induced her, at a very large outlay, to perfect her present arrangements; and she ventures to express a hope that the spacious and well-appointed Apartments which have formed part of her plan, will now be found sufficient for a demand which for some time past it has been difficult fully to provide for.

LIFE DEPARTMENT.
The Accumulated Premiums are over £1,600,000. And the Annual Income exceeds £184,000.
Bonuses have been declared on Policies to an amount greater than the sum originally assured.
Premiums have been extinguished, where the parties assured have applied the bonus in reduction to the Annual Premium.
At the last valuation up to Christmas, 1854, there existed a Surplus of £268,691, which had accrued during the five years ending at that period—the whole of which Surplus belonging to the policy holders.
The next valuation will be made up to Christmas, 1859. Policies on the Participating Scale, in England or Ireland respectively, which may be effected before that date, will, if the parties be then alive, participate in the surplus in proportion to the time they may have been in force.
The sum of £3,130,975 has been paid during the existence of the Office for claims under Life Policies, of which amount a very considerable part was for Bonuses.
Persons assuring in Great Britain have the option of
Participating Rates of Premium, or of Non-Participating Rates.
The Directors beg to announce that the rates of Premium have been recently revised and re-adjusted in accordance with a long experience, and that

The Royal Agricultural Society’s Meeting at Chester, 1858.
FIRST CLASS AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY.
R. GARRETT AND SONS, LEISTON WORKS, SAXMUNDHAM, SUFFOLK,
AND AT 40, MARK LANE CHAMBERS, E.C.,
Respectfully solicit the continued patronage and support of the numerous body of Agriculturists, Shippers, Merchants, and others, whom they have had the honour of supplying with Agricultural Machines and Implements for the last thirty years. With their extensively increased facilities for manufacturing, R. G. and Sons are now enabled to supply with dispatch, and at the lowest cost consistent with sound workmanship and thorough efficiency, combined with practical utility—Fixed and Portable Steam Engines, for Agricultural Purposes, Contractors’ work, &c., &c.; Combined Thrashing and Dressing Machines, for steam, water, and horse power; Drills of every description; Patent Manure Distributors, and Patent Horse Hoes; Chaff and Straw Cutters, for steam, horse, and hand power; Corn-Dressing and Winnowing Machines; Improved Reaping Machines; Hay Machines and Drag Rakes; Sawing Machinery, from four to twenty horse-power; Stone Grinding Mills and Flour-Dressing Machines; Tile, Pipe, and Brick Machines; Barn and Field Implements of the most approved construction, &c., &c., &c., full particulars of which will be found in
R. G. and Sons’ Illustrated Catalogue.
For the above Machines R. Garrett and Sons have received 161 Money Prizes, 31 Gold and Silver Medals, besides the Great Council Medals and Gold Medals of Honour of the Exhibition of all Nations, held in Hyde Park in 1851, in Ireland in 1853, in Paris in 1855, and in Vienna in 1857.
Complete sets of the most improved Farm Machinery are erected by Garrett and Sons, adapted to the nature and size of the occupations, and with the arrangements best suited to the buildings. Plans and estimates will be furnished, with reference, on application; also Catalogues, in either English, French, or German, sent postage free, on application as above.
SALISBURY SHOW, July, 1857.
The competition by R. G. and Sons, at this meeting, was confined to the class of Horse Hoes and Drills, and, after a most patient and searching trial, the First Prize in Horse Hoes was again awarded to R. G. and Sons’ well-known Implement, which has now been before the Public upwards of fourteen years, taking the First Prize at every meeting at which it has competed, distancing all competitors, and has earned for itself a reputation such as no other implement ever has done. This result is the more important when it is borne in mind that no further competition will take place in Horse Hoes until the year 1860. No less than 64 Horse Hoes were exhibited at Salisbury, all of which, by the awards, are pronounced more or less inferior to
R. G. & SONS’ PRIZE MACHINE.
The following statement shows the result of the competition—
The Patent Horse Hoe First Prize.
(Making Thirty-Eight First Prizes and Ten Medals awarded for this excellent Implement.)
The Small Occupation Corn Drill First Prize.
The Liquid Manure Distributor First Prize.
The Corn, Seed, and Manure Drill Second Prize.
The Liquid, Seed, and Manure Drop Drill First Prize.
The Corn and Seed Drill Highly Commended.
The Seed and Manure Ridge Drill Second Prize.
And at the Waterford Meeting, August, 1857, R. G. and Sons received for their
IMPROVED EIGHT-HORSE POWER PORTABLE ENGINE, AND FINISHING, THRASHING, AND DRESSING MACHINE,
AND OTHER IMPLEMENTS, THE PRIZE OF £30 FOR THE BEST COLLECTION, AND A SPECIAL MEDAL FOR THE ENGINE AND MACHINE.
N.B.—Early Orders are respectfully solicited, and will ensure prompt attention. Leiston Works, June, 1858.
VISITORS BEFORE YOU LEAVE CHESTER
CALL AT No. 117, BRIDGE STREET,
AND SEE THAT ANCIENT RELIC OF THE ROMANS,
THE BATH AND HYPOCAUST,
PRONOUNCED BY ALL ANTIQUARIANS TO BE THE
GREATEST CURIOSITY IN CHESTER.
“Near to the Feathers Hotel, in Bridge Street, are premises now occupied as a China Shop, in which are the remains of the Roman Hypocaust and Sweating Bath, the use of which appears to have been very general among the Romans, and regarded by them as one of their chief luxuries. From the details which have been handed down to us by ancient historians, respecting these curious erections, we learn that they were not only constructed so as to secure the comfort and convenience of the bathers to the fullest extent, but were often built in the most magnificent style of architecture. The one in Bridge Street, which circumstances have happily spared, is in a tolerably perfect state.”

AND
78, LOMBARD STREET, LONDON, E.C.
IMPROVED PORTABLE STEAM ENGINES.
The large and increasing demand for CLAYTON, SHUTTLEWORTH, & CO.’S Steam Engines and Machinery, together with the numerous and flattering testimonials daily received, is a sufficient proof of the high estimation in which they are held, both in this and foreign countries, and renders it quite unnecessary to say much upon the subject in an Advertisement. Already more than two thousand seven hundred have been manufactured, upwards of five hundred of which, of various powers, were disposed of within the last twelve months. Simplicity of construction, combined with correct principles, excellence of workmanship, and quality of materials, are the aim of CLAYTON, SHUTTLEWORTH, & CO., in all their manufactures.
Full particulars, in Illustrated Catalogues, on application.
CLAYTON, SHUTTLEWORTH, AND CO.’S COMBINED BOULTING, THRASHING, STRAW SHAKING, RIDDLING, AND WINNOWING MACHINE.
This Machine took the First Prize at the Royal Agricultural Society’s Meeting at Lewes, 1852; also at Lincoln, 1854; and at Carlisle, 1855, was awarded the Honorary Silver Medal, with a High Commendation, for the introduction of a Patent Apparatus for Separating the Corn and Delivering it in Sacks ready for Market. This is an object often attempted, but never before effectually accomplished by a Portable Machine. As a proof of the superiority of C., S., & Co.’s Combined Thrashing Machines over all others, they think the following extract, copied from the Judge’s Report of the Royal Agricultural Society’s Meeting, held at Lincoln, 1854, is sufficient to establish their well-earned reputation:—
“Not long since the farmer was satisfied to thrash an increased quantity of corn by the application of steam power to the old thrashing box. Soon he finds he must have his corn partially dressed; but now he must have it finished, sacked, and weighed for market.
“For these last improvements we are much indebted to Messrs. Clayton and Shuttleworth; and here I must remark that they were rather in advance of the Society, for they brought out their finishing Machine at Lewes previously to a prize being offered.
“Portable Thrashing Machines, not exceeding Eight Horse Power, with Straw Shaker, Riddle, and Winnower, that will best prepare for the finishing Dressing Machine—to be driven by Steam.
“The Prize of £20 was awarded to Messrs. Clayton and Shuttleworth, the performances of whose Machine were, on the whole, superior to any other, and its construction inferior to none.”
FIXED STREAM ENGINE.
Of this work the Judges of the Lincoln Meeting report—“Too much can scarcely be said in its praise, for it was next to impossible for a machine to thrash and dress corn in a better manner. There was neither tail corn amongst the best, nor best corn amongst the tail; and the latter was again separated into marketable, chicken corn, whites, seeds, &c., each delivered into sacks from separate spouts.”
The above Engraving represents a Six-horse Power Horizontal Cylinder Steam Engine, erected complete upon metal foundation plate, which arrangement renders it easy of removal—an important point to a Tenant Farmer. The principle of this Engine is direct action, which simplifies the whole arrangement, inasmuch as the working parts are fewer in number, more compact, and less likely to get out of repair. Being secured upon one bedplate renders it unnecessary to have any bearings or fastenings in the partition or adjoining walls of the building in which it is inclosed.
It is supplied with Cylindrical Cornish Boiler of ample size and strength, the whole being made of the very best material, fitted and finished in a style equal to any house in the trade.
N.B.—As different situations, in almost every case, involve special arrangements, C. S., & Co. will be happy to furnish Plans and Specifications where fixed machinery is required.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF ENGLAND. CHESTER MEETING, 1858.
SMITH AND ASHBY, Agricultural Implement Manufacturers, STAMFORD, LINCOLNSHIRE,
Beg to direct attention to their celebrated HAYMAKING MACHINES, Patent Steel Tooth HORSE RAKES, Patent Wheel HAND RAKES, New Patent Improved CHAFF-CUTTING MACHINES, Oil Cake Mills, and Horse Works, They also invite special notice of their New TWO-AND-A-HALF HORSE PORTABLE STEAM ENGINE, for agricultural and general use, with compact Thrashing Machine, Grinding Mill Chaff Cutter, Root Pulper, Cake Mill, Corn Crusher, and Circular Saw Bench to attach to ditto. Now exhibiting at their stand, No. 27, in the Show-yard.
This is the Machine that took the £5 prize against Mr. Nicholson’s Haymaker, at the Great Waterford Trial, last August (1857), immediately after the Salisbury Show. The above trial was conducted under the direction of the same Judge who was engaged at the Royal Society’s Trials at Salisbury. The circumstance proves that Smith and Ashby’s Machine is the best Haymaker in use. This celebrated Machine has taken Thirty-one First-class Prizes, and has stood the test of twelve years.
N.B.—S. & A. are now constructing all their Haymakers on their original patent principle, and exactly like the one that took the Prize at Waterford; and they warrant every Machine they send out. Price £15 15s.
☞ Smith & Ashby’s Haymaker has just taken the Prize of the Royal Bath and West of England Society, at Cardiff.
SMITH & ASHBY’S PATENT HORSE RAKE FOR HAY, CORN, COUCH GRASS, STUBBLE, &c.
SALISBURY REPORT, 1857.—Messrs. Smith and Ashby’s Horse Rake, with Patent Steel Teeth, was next tried. It is the old original Stamford Rake improved. It is light, but works remarkably well. The teeth are made of steel. It drew up heavy grass better than any other, and it clean-raked admirably; it is also adapted for twitch or scutch grass. A prize was awarded.—See Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, 1857.
This Rake has taken the First Prize of the Royal Society of Ireland two years in succession—at Athlone, 1856, and at Carlow, 1855—against all the best rakes in the kingdom; it has also received the Certificate of Honour from the London, the Dublin, and the Paris Agricultural Exhibitions, and above Twenty Prizes from various other Societies. Price £7 10s. If with Steel Teeth, £8.
Smith & Ashby’s New Two-and-a-half Horse PORTABLE STEAM ENGINE,
which for power and cheapness surpasses everything of the kind yet brought out. It is adapted for the purpose of driving Chaff Cutters, Corn Crushers, Grinding Mills, Oil-cake Breakers, Thrashing Machines, Root Pulpers, Circular Saws, Pumps, &c., &c. Price £65.
SPECIMEN OF TESTIMONIALS.
“Westwood, Bradford, Wilts, Jan. 31, 1858.
“Gentlemen,—Having now worked your little Engine for the last month, and having found it quite capable of doing more than I expected, I write to inform you that I am perfectly satisfied with it. I have attached it to my Thrashing Machine, and find that by working up to 35 lb. to 40 lb. pressure, it performs its work in first-rate style. I have fitted a pulley of 6½ inches diameter on the drum spindle, and can thrash three sacks an hour of wheat or barley with ease. John Spackman.”
SMITH & ASHBY’S PATENT CHAFF CUTTERS,
Universally acknowledged to be the most simple, and at the same time they are well known to be amongst the most efficient and most noted Chaff Cutters in the world. They are fitted with S. & A.’s new Patent Presser for preventing breakage when over fed, and also with their Patent Safety Apparatus for preventing accidents to the men employed to feed them.
For Prices and Testimonials, see S. & A.’s Catalogue, to be had, post free, on application to RUTLAND TERRACE IRON WORKS, STAMFORD, LINCOLNSHIRE.
TO TOURISTS & TRAVELLERS,
Visitors to the Sea Coast, and to those who enjoy the Fashionable Promenade, the Ride and Drive; in all cases Fervid Heat, and its concomitant Dust, materially injure the Skin, producing Sunburn, Tan, Freckles, and Discolorations of an almost indelible character. To obviate and eradicate these baneful results, recourse may with confidence be had to
ROWLANDS’ KALYDOR,
an Oriental and Botanical Preparation. Whether resorted to in its specific character as a thorough purifier of existing defects of an eruptive nature, and discolorations of the skin, or as a benign Preserver and Promoter of its already bright and glowing tints this,
ELEGANT TOILET REQUISITE
has, in every instance, maintained its claim to the title of the “UNFAILING AUXILIARY OF FEMALE GRACE.”
During SUMMER and AUTUMN, which are peculiarly the seasons of Fashionable Movements, the invigorating and refreshing properties of ROWLANDS’ KALYDOR will be found singularly agreeable to
LADIES TRAVELLING.
The effects produced by temporary exposure to solar heat, upon the Face, Neck, Arms, and Hands being neutralized, and the cloud induced by relaxation and languor dispelled by its power of sustaining a perfect elasticity of the skin; without which certain deterioration takes place; thus in the usual periodical visits made to the coast, Rowlands’ Kalydor is indispensable as a preservative of the skin after
SEA BATHING,
from the irritation caused by the chemical action of the saline vapour.
CAUTION:—The words “ROWLANDS’ KALYDOR” are on the Wrapper, and “A. ROWLAND & SONS” in red ink at foot. Price 4s. 6d. and 8s. 6d. per bottle.
The heat of Summer frequently communicates a dryness to the hair, and a tendency to fall off, which may be completely obviated by the use of
ROWLANDS’ MACASSAR OIL,
A delightfully fragrant and transparent preparation, and as an invigorator and purifier of the Hair beyond all precedent.
Nor at this season of the year can we be too careful to preserve the Teeth from the deleterious effects of Vegetable Acids (the immediate cause of Tooth-ache) by a systematic employment, night and morning, of
ROWLANDS’ ODONTO. OR, PEARL DENTIFRICE,
a White Powder, compounded of the rarest and most fragrant exotics. It bestows on the Teeth a Pearl-like Whiteness, frees them from the Tartar, and imparts to the Gums a healthy firmness, and to the Breath a grateful sweetness and purity. Price 2s. 9d. per box.
Sold by A. ROWLAND & SONS, 20, Hatton Garden, London, and by Chemists and Perfumers.

The Premiums of Nine Offices enumerated, are stated to be £824,924
Of which The Royal alone amount to 371,957
being 82 per Cent. of the accumulated Premiums of the remaining Eight Companies.
EXPENDITURE.
The Times’ Article exhibits the Expenditure likewise of the “Royal” in most favourable contrast to that of others. The statement of “The Times” has elicited the following remarks from a contemporary:—Here again, the Royal Insurance Company occupies a position of honourable pre-eminence; for while its expense of management, spread over a period of three years, has been less than 20 per Cent., those of five other offices, extending over an equal time—for we omit those which have been established within three years, or we might make a much stronger case—have varied from 22 to74 per Cent., and in one case have been as high as 111 per Cent. on the receipts.
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.
