last Annual Mating of the Trustees , a Committee was appointed for converting the remaining part into two additional dwelling : Houses , by which they had hoped considerably to increase their m- ^ conie . The Committee , however , found
that the object could not be accomplished fqr the sum to which they were restricted ; they therefore thought it advisable to enter into a negociation for the sale of the whole property > which is now on the point of being completed . The additions to the Funds of the
Institution , which have been made by Con * gregational Collections , have also been considerable , and this mode of providing for its exigencies appears to the Trustees particularly desirable ; for though the more opulent Members of our Body will very probably choose to give the Institution the sanction of their names , and
entitle themselves by their personal subscriptions to take an active part in the management of its ^ concerns ; yet the state " of personal subscriptions must always be fluctuating , and without repealed special applications will inevitably decline . Congregati © ns , on theother hand , have a continual existence ; annual
Sermons , delivered with ap express view to the support of our interest , have the advantage of directing the attention oT"all , and especially of the young , to the principles of a Protestant Dissent ; and an opportunity is afforded to those who may find it inconvenient to give a stm * which
they would choose to appear \ n a * subscription List , to mate such smaller contributions as may suit their respective circumstances . On this ^ account , the Trustees are desirous to return their thanks to those Ministers who have preached sermons for the benefit of this Institution , and earnestly to
request that they will persevere in their exertions to procure a contiuuince of this important aid . And they beg leave to recommend a similar measure to the attention of other Ministers and Congregat ion s throughout the Kingdom . The Trustees have the satisfaction to
State that they nava been successful in procuring the services of the Rev . Theoyi ' iTlus Brown , M . A . late Feljow and J ,. tor of Peter House , Cambridge , as vb . sical and Mathematical Tutor in tl . * Institution in the room of JVTr . Kerr ,

from the University of Glasgow , havingentered ( but not on the foundation ) on the fourth year of the course pursued ' in this Institution , Another young person was expected , but his friends made a change in their determination respecting him too late to make arrangements for the admission of any one Sn his room . The number of Lay Students is
six-The Trustees have the satisfaction to announce , that they expect to be able to admit eight Divinity Students on the Foundation , during the eubuing Session . But the expenses hereby incurred , together with the salaries of the Tutors , and the necessary incidental expenses , will require a stated laconic of at least 700 I . It is therefore of great importance that the exertions of the friends of the
Institution should be continued in its favour-The Trustees have great pleasure in . reporting the high satisfaction expressed by all those who have attended the Annual Examinations of the Students at the , close of each Session ; and being convinced that it is of great importance to afford every encouragement to
attention and diligence , they have resolved , as a testimony of their approbation , and an excitement to further eiertion , to give annually three honorary prizes to the three Students of the-first , second , and third year * , who shall l > e reported by the Tutors ' to have been most distinguished for-diligence , p roficiency , and propriety of conduct . Tne first prize to be a medal of tf > e value of three guineas ; the

The Students in the fourth and fifth , years will , it is presumed , need no other stimulus to advancement in knowledge , religion and virtue ^ than what will be continually before them , in the contemplation of the duties of the honourable and
important office to which they have ( devoted themselves * Th . e . Trustees beg leave to conclude this Report by announcing that the Rey .
