      ations for which , accompanied with the rpouisite testimonials * it is requested may Le sent , before the first of May 1820 , to the care of the Secretaries . For the first time since the removal of the College to York , which took place in 1803 , the Trustees are deprived of the gratification of making their usual communication of progressive annual increase in the vmouiit of the subscriptions . The subscriptions discontinued last year amount to £ 33 -1 * . 6 cL whilst the new ones received , are only £ 26 14 * . 6 d . It is hoped that the liberality of the friends to the Institution , will , in the course of the ensuing * year , more than make good this small deficiency . .

      The Trustees have as usual been enabled to make an addition to the Permanent Fund , by vesting * therein the benefactions of the year , which have amounted to £ 296 2 s . In making' a small annual addition to that fund , they believe they are

      fulfilling ; the wishes of the great majority of the friends to thft College , and the rule they have adopted , as far as circumstances would permit , of investing" in it the whole of the benefactions , they believe to be the one most generally approved of . To some , it may appear , that this increasing

      accumulation of permanent property , is unnecessary ; but it should be borne in mind that the principal part of the property of the Trustees , consists of buildings , which are gradually becoming of less

      value , and that , at all events , some accumulation is necessary , to replace this progressive depreciation . In making their annual estimate of the value of this property , in the printed reports , the rule adopted by the Trustees has been to make

      a sin all regular reduction every year , and they hope that they shall always be ena-Wed , annually , to add to the Permanent Fund , a Sinn at least equal to the amount of this reduction . The total receipts of the year , including the usual exhibitions received for

      foundation students from different public trusts , through the continued kindness of their respective Trustees , have been £ 1952 4 s . 9 c ? . The payments , including the investment in the Permauent Fund , amount to £ 1824 8 s . 6 d . The balance remaining in the" Treasurer ' s hands , will be scarcely sufficient to defray the expense of some alterations rendered ' necessary for the

      accommodation of the Rev . William Turner , Junior , Mathematical Tutor , who will , m the ensuing session , reside in the Coi-Jege with his family , and take charge of the common * and the entire domestic

      consul of the establishment . It is hoped that this arrangement will bo of important wva » tag « to the Institution , and contriwte materially to the pomforts of the * W 4 etn * ; fc ^ t it is necessary to be stated ,

      that it will entail on the Trustees an increased annual expense , which will ha ye to be provided for . It appearing from the minutes of the Committee , as read to the meeting , that a communication had been made to them , of the bequest of " a legacy of five thousand pounds' to some of the principal officers of the College , by the late Samuel

      Jones , Esq ., of Green Hill , near Manchester , in trust , the annual interest thereof to be appropriated to the augmentation of t ] ie salaries of Protestant Dissenting Ministers , giving a preference to such as have been educated in Manchester College , York : —"

      It was unanimously resolved , < c that this meeting doth acknowledge , and is desirous to record its grateful sense of the distinguished honour conferred upon this Institution , by the late Mr . Jones , in

      selecting the officers of the College , as instrumental in the application of so munificent a donation , and in appointing the ministers educated in this Institution , as the more immediate objects of his benevolence . "

      -A letter was read at the meeting fi ' om W , B . Kennaway , Esq ., of Exeter , to the Rev . Charles Wellbeloved , dated Bristol , July 23 , 181 % announcing that " the late Rev . Joseph Bretland , of Exeter , had bequeathed to the Trustees of the College , all such printed books as the Rev . John Kenrick and the Rev . Charles Wellbeloved

      may choose from his library , excepting such only as he bad already bequeathed , " Whereupon it was unanimously resolved , " that the thanks of this meeting be given to Mr . Kennaway for his polite

      communication , and that he be informed , that tbe Trustees will have great pleasure in placing the books bequeathed to the Institution , by their late respected friend the Rev . Joseph Bretland , of Exeter , in the College Library . ''

      At the close of the business the thanks of the Trustees were voted to the President , for his kindness in visiting Manchester , purposely to attend their meeting ; and about fifty gentlemen afterwards dined together at the Bridgewater Arms , to celebrate tbe Thirty-third Anniversary of the College , when Joseph Strutt , Esq ., President , presided , and the evening was Spent with much cheerful enjoyment to all who were present .
