YIN'ANCES.

At the last Annual General Meeting, the number of
original Shares amounted to 1,567. The shares added
during the past year have been 38 ; donations amounting
to 970/. have been received, and the instalments paid
upon seven shares forfeited in the course of the year amount
to 2351.

The total capital in shares and donations at this day is
163,4621. Ios., as follows:

Of this sum, 117,782/. 108. has actually been received.

A considerable portion of the arrears constituting the
sums of 8551. and 4,2651. is for shares recently taken, and
therefore not yet due: Instalments upon new shares be-
coming due only at intervals of three months from the pay-
ment of the first deposit of 251. There are fourteen
shares upon which the arrears are not expected to be paid,
which must in that event, be forfeited. The Council are
always unwilling to proceed to that extremity, until all
efforts to avert it have failed. Twenty-seven shares have
already been forfeited ; upon which payments to the
amount of 6351. had been made. The arrears upon the
27 forfeited shares, amounting to 1,965/., have been de-
ducted in the statement of capital given above.
The expenditure to the 31st of December last has been

'the library for the accommodation of the students in con-
sulting the hooks already collected, the present library being
inconveniently small for that purpose ;—the Museum to
objects of natural history of great value, promised
to be given to the University as soon as there is a proper
place fur their reception ;—and the Hall for examination:,
which are conducted very inconveniently in the Lecture
Roams.

One hundred additional shares would accomplish these
objects.

The Council last July proposed a scheme for supple-
, mental shares to be taken by existing Proprietors for the
above purpose, and fifty. nine such shares have been taken ;
but it roust be recollected that they are subscribed on the
express condition that they are to be re-placed by original
shares as they come in. The instalments upon these sup-
plemental shares are not to be called for until 100 have
been subscribed ; and it is hoped that those Proprietor
who are anxious for the accomplishment of objects so de-
sirable, will lose no time in adding their names to the list.
To build the wings will require a further addition of
40,0001., or 400 shares.
In the estimate of the resources the Council have not '
included the portion of land belonging to the university
on the west side of their private road. They are very
unwilling to advise the alienation of any part of the loci
for purposes not connected with the University ; but it is
believed that the portion alluded to could be let on build-
ing leases on such terms as would yield a revenue of 5001.
per annum.
