The Treasurer reported that he had a balance in hand of £ 22 . \ 6 s . 7 % d . At the last Anniversary he was in advance £ 5 . $$ . 3 d . , The Committee ' s Report was brief . It first detailed the grants which had been made of the Tracts during the year .
Among these was a set to Senhor fasconcellos Menezes de Drumrnondy Member of the Brazilian Cortes , accompanied by a request that he would use his best efforts in getting them translated and circulated in the empire of Brazil . —To the
Missionary Society established and supported chiefly by the labours of the Students in Manchester College , York . —To the chapel library of Rivington , Lancashire , connected with which a society has been formed for supplying young persons with the means of moral and
instructive reading , irrespective of their theological opinions . —To the Mechanics ' Institute , through the President , Dr . % irkbecky who , at first , conceiving them designed to teach dogmatic theology , had objected to presenting them to the committee ; but , on learning their real

Bengallee and Hindoosthanee of tracts inculcating the same morality on the same principles is most desirable , arid is , indeed , precisely what is needed . * But Mr . Adam adds , " A mere translation of the tracts of the Christian Tract Society would not probably be so usefulas , from

manners and customs , superstitions and prejudices . "— " All this , however , has nothing to do with their circulation among the professors of Christianity , to whom I have no doubt they will be
eminently useful . —Scarcely any Christiarv people can be more in want of publications exhibiting the first principles of the oracles of God , and inculcating the most indispensable duties of the Christian life , than the members of the various Christian
sects in India , from the benighted Roman Catholic to the careless and , perhaps , unprincipled liberalist . " During the past year , the Committee have had occasion to reprint only four Tracts , most of the Subscribers having been supplied with their annual allotments previously to the last Anniversary ,
when the stock on hand was very ample * Besides 11 , 000 copies of the four reprints * ' 2 , 000 have just been printed of a new Tract , entitled The Happy Canseqzt&nce * of Family Religion , exemplified in the * History of the Widow Brown and het Sfo Children . The total number of copies ¦ ¦ j
