before the meeting duly audited by Mr . Samuel Kay and the Rev . Robert Smethurst , and were allowed . The Trustees regret to state that there has been a decrease iu the amount of annual subscriptions , and that they have received from congregational collections
only 30 / . 4 s . 6 d ., being the smallest sum obtained from this source , in any one year , since the removal of the College to York . The contributions from Fellowship Funds have produced only 9 / . 1 * . The Trustees have , however , pleasure in recording their obligations for some con . siderable benefactions . Their venerable
friend , Mr . Shore , of Meersbrook , in addition to many former instances of Important support , has converted his loan of 200 / . into a donation , and a similar transfer of the like amouut has been made by a younger , but not less zealous friend , Mr . Robert Philips , Jun ,, of Heybridge . Au anonymous benefaction of 100 / . has been received through
the hauds of the Rev . Russell Scott , of Portsmouth , and a second of 30 / . through those of the Rev . John Rowe , of Bristol . Benefactions of 50 / . each have likewise been received from Mr . Cropper , of Everton , and the Rev . Samuel Wood , late of Kenilworth ; and a legacy of 25 / . from the late Miss Gundry , of Bridport , has been transmitted by the Rev . G . B . Wawne .
The vacant land in Manchester , adverted to in the last Report , has since been sold to the Trustees of the Mechanics' Institution , and has produced 956 / . 10 * . 10 e / . The proceeds of the fall of timber at Oxclose and Lingmoor , aroouuted to 818 / . 14 * Id . These two
sums appear iu the accounts to be published , and reduce the balance owing to the Treasurer to 335 / , 8 s . 5 d ., and it is hoped , through a continuance of the valuable services of the Deputy Treasurers and other friends of the Institution , that the Trustees may be enabled to liquidate this arrear in the course of the present year .

They feel confident that the friends of the College will rejoice with them iu the appointment of a gentleman educated within its walls , and warmly attached to its interests ; connected by friendship with its remaining conductors , and so well qualified to sustain its reputation , and promote its prosperity aud usefulness .
Since the publication of the last Report , the College has lost one of its Vice-Presidents , the Rev . John Yates . His death has deprived the Institution of one of its most zealous friends and liberal benefactors , and diminished the number , already much reduced , of its burviving founders . The Rev . Thomas Belsham has accepted the vacant office of Vice-President .
