-.., - t i ..-.. 1‘ ;. 1 November, as aanousfted in the ia•s ur.svesed day. It will be satisfactory to the pi opt:seta's to tree ive at this, perald -a general view of the state of the finances. Of t' , e 150,0001. subscribed capital, calls have been made to the amount of 97•5001- and 10-9501. have heeo paid in full, including donations. With these funds the Council have paid 90,0001. for the land, 49,0961.t0waris the building, 5,7481. for collections of philosophical ap paratus, anatomical preparations, books, &c.and 4,8911. for expenses of management, including printing, ad ver• tisements, &c. from the commencement of the institu tion, leaving 20,7151. as the balance of the calls prior to this date ; and a further call. of 10 per cent. or 11.8701. will be due on the 15th of - November. Thus it appears that the sum of 87,7551. has been piid by the Council, and that 62.2651. remain at their disposal. 66 With this capitalahe Council will pay all their en gagements, will provide whatever is necessary for ef fective teaching in every department comprehended in their present plan, and there will be It ft a sufficient sum to meet all probable contingencies. But to enable the Council to place the University on the broad basis ori ginally contemplated, and to effectuate all the objects which the Proprietors have been anxious to attain, it is highly desirable that the disposable capital should be increased by further shares being taken, and it is hoped the Proprietors will spare no exertions to accomplish this end, and to obtain donations. No effort will be wanting on the part of the Council, but it is obvious, that arching can be so effectual as each Proprietor giving his individual aid. " The time is now arrived when the Proprietors may safely appeal to the public for their support and pro tection. All preliminary difficulties have been overcome, and they can confidently offer to the metropolis and its vicinity ready and effectual means of acquiring that knowledge and instruction which bitheiti, upon read sonable terms, and at a convenient distance, has been unattainable. No pains have been spared to select the most able and efficient .profrroors, whose emoluments will depend uponthe issue of their own exertions ; and as trirr it and character alone, have placed them in the chairs, there is .every reason to entertain a well-grounded hope that they will fulfil their various duties with zeal and ability, with credit to themselves and advantage to their pupils. Every day% experience tends more strongly to convince the Council of the urgent necessity for the establishment .of such an institution, of the great and obviously increasing demand forinstruction, and of the expediency of removing ail barrier; to its attainment in the most economical and convenient method." ; The. puke of Sommer rose to move that the Report bikapproved, which, he said, could not have failed to glee satisfaction to every well wisher of literature and agenCs.:"The exertions which had been made by the Coueeil were quite astounding; and every praise was due; : to them and to their officers for what they had achkeyed. The cause was worthy the exertions which bad been made; and the object which the prbprierots had in view afforded ample compensation harthe sacrifices which had been made to attain it.— By- their exertions a place of general instruction bad been erected at so early a period for-the bene fit of the youth of. their great metropolis. As a proof of the, high opinion which be had of this institution, be Would inform the meeting that he had for some time entertained the design of sending one of his own sons to-participate in the great advantages of this University --(Cheers). His Grace concluded by moving that the Report be approved and printed, and circulated among the prop' ietor s. The Reverend Mr. SHEPHERD seconded the motion. The motion was carried unanimously. • Dr. LIISHINGTON said that he 'had been desired to inforkt the Meeting that a distinguished individual, who was a member of the Council, and who bad been pre vented from attending by indispositionihad sent a letter • apologising. for his absence , which Mr. Horner would raid to the Society. • Mr.. - 4, HORNER then read the following letter frost Bfr..

Horner, the Warden, for. the zeal, talent, and industry with which be had carried into effect the instructiors of the Council. Mr. L. HORNER britfly returned thanks. On the motion of Mr. HALLAM, a-vote of thanks was given to Dr. Lushiogton, who made.a suitable acknow. lodgment for it. Thanks were also voted to the Council. :The Meeting then broke up, and the Proprietors dis • persedithemselves through the different parts of their' extensive building. NEWCASTLE, Sur.
