subscribers has , from various causes , in some degree declined , the congregational collections have somewhat exceeded the usual average . These circumstances indicate an undiminished interest in the welfare and support of an Institution , which now , for nearly half a century , has been the chief source from which the churches of our
denomination of Dissenters have been supplied with ministers , and till lately has enjoyed , almost alone in this country , the honourable distinction of conferring the benefits of an academic education , unaccompanied by any subscription , to articles of faith . Whilst the
Trustees unfeignedly rejoice that a more liberal spirit has been awakened , and express their best wishes for the complete success of every institution for the diffusion of education , which it may call forth , they feel some pride in recollecting , that the same principles which are now beginning to be recognized as just
throughout the kingdom , have been adopted in Manchester College from the -date of its foundation , and made the basis of all its arrangements ; and they venture to hope , that its claim to support for a uniform and consistent adherence to these principles will not be forgotten at the time when the general admission of them bears a decisive
testimony to the propriety of the course which it has pursued . With the limited funds which the College can command , a considerable share of the remuneration of the Tutors tnust arise from Lay Students ; and the Trustees regret to state that the number
of these has materially decreased , and is , at the present time , much less than might justly be expected from the high reputation and acknowledged ability of the Tutors , and from the vigorous and efficient system of discipline which has been introduced into the College . They look to the friends of the Institution to
supply the deficiency ; and on behalf of their appeal , they think it may , without arrogance , be affirmed , that in no other institution will a more complete and accurate course of instruction , in the most important departments of literature
and science , be afforded at the same expense , combined with a more vigilant system of domestic discipline , and ampler provision for the comfort and improvemeut of the young men who are placed under its superintendence . The number of Students at the comufieneement of the laat Session was twenty-five ; viz . seven Lay Students and eighteen Divinity Students . Of the lat-
