called upon to read the final Rriont of the Com-

were thus or Messrs. Clooton It.tinbridgr, Wood

With respect to the funds of the Society, the ac-
counts were not clearly made up, as the outstand-
ing claims were not so completely balanced

apparent. But it was Clear. so far as the accounts
were made up, that the funds of the Institution
were in a prosperoua state. In the last 'Report re-
specting the Life Department of the Society, the
estimate of the repurchase of the endowments
for children was omitted. This would produce
about 74;00/. With respect to the constitution
of the Society, the Committee were of opioioo that
many alterations might be beneficially 'node in the
different beads of jhe establishment, so as to pre-
clude the necessity of transmitting backwards and
