JAMES ST. .A.IIBTN,

" 3. That though the Annual Subscriptions to the Institute were
originally fixed at too low a scale for the varied advantages and plea-
sures which it offers to the Members, it is thought best to continue
them for the present, without any change, the Council relying on the
efforts of the Members generally (now that all doubt of success
and stability is removed) to exert themselves in their respective
circles, by correcting misapprehensions, and making the real merits
and attractions of the Establishment more generally and more accu-
rately known, so that by constantly increasing numbers, the income
may be proportionately improved, without any addition to the exist-
ing rates, and the funds be thus made adequate to accomplish all the

improvements contemplated and desired."
Proposed by Sir GEORGE STAUNTON, Bart. ; seconded by GEORGE

WILBRAIL&M, Esq

"4. That one of the most effective modes of making extensively
known the nature and character of the Literary Proceedings of the

Institute, will be to give the widest possible circulation to the First
Volume of its transactions, in which these proceedings will bo fully
and faithfully recorded :—and that as this will be well calculated to
convey accurate information into circles where much misapprehension
may prevail, it is strongly recommended to the Members generally to
promote its circulation accordingly."

Proposed by WYNN Emig, Esq., M.P. ; seconded by Brig.-Gen. Sir

HENRY PENN.

" 5. That the four classes of members, as at present arrranged, be
in all future entries limited to two only ; namely, town members and
country members ; the former to include all who reside or who have
establishments in London, or within seven miles of the General Post-
office, or who remain in town for more than two months at any one
time, and make use of the Institute during any part of that period ;
and the latter, to embrace all who live beyond that distance, who
have no establishments in the metropolis, and who do not remain in
town beyond the specified period."
Proposed by CHARLES COCHRANE, ESQ. ; seconded by HENRY
TUDOR, EsQ.

" 6. That the annual subscription for ladies, when elected members
of the Institute, and entitled to all its privileges,. shall be only the
half of that paid by gentlemen of each class : and that families of
four Individuals shall be admitted to all the advantages of member-
ship at the rate of two single members only."

Proposed by ALEXANDER PRINCE, Esq. ; seconded by Jonx ANDER.
sox, Esq.

" 7. That, in accordance with the reoommendation of the annual
report, single and season tickets for visitors to the Soirees and Lec-
tures be made available to members for the accommodation of their
families and friends ; such tickets to be had through members only,
and the names of those for whom they are required, to be furnished
to the Secretary, previous to their being issued ; the scale of terms
to be regulated by the Committee, and the arrangement to commence
with the next session."

Proposed by Sir JOHN YARDS BULLSR, Bart., lI.P. ; seconded by En-

WARD BAYLIS, ESC'
" 8. That the cordial thanks of the meeting be presented to the
Eight Ron. the Earl of Devon, the President of the Institute, for his
continued and zealous interest in its welfare: and to the trustees,
Vice-Presidents, and Committee, forming the Council of the Institute,
for their valuable co operation in the promotion of its success."

Proposed by the Rev. Szrrimus KormAY, M.A. ; seconded by
Da. CAMPS.

"9. That the thanks of this meeting are also especially due to Mr.
Buckingham, for the zeal, perseverance, and courtesy, with which
he has devoted himself, during the past year, to the superintendence
and direction of the affairs of the Institute, and to the efficiency and
economy with which its funds have been administered, as well as for
the liberality with which he has expended his own private means
to increase its attractions. And they entertain a firm hope that the
present absence of all remuneration to him for these services of the
past year, will be amply compensated in future ones, by the in-
nrnsiapri mimMr of I'll Md.! which each Member will feel it his duty
as far as practicable, to add to the Institute ; su ur fly Uita, uns nest
and most unexceptionable of all means, to increase the stability and
popularity of the Establishment, and thus promote and consolidate
the interests of all who are concerned in Its permanent welfare."
Proposed by Lord BROUGHAM ; seconded by Sir Join( YARDS
BULLER, Bart., M.P.

" 10. That it would be unjust, unreasonable, and injurious to the
beet interests of the Institute, to permit the Resident Director's ser-
vices for the past year to go wholly unrequited ; and as no surplus
exists out of the Annual Subscription Fund, to stand in lieu of salary,

it is resolved that the Members be invited to contribute a Guinea
each for the purpose of providing such compensation, as a just testi-
monial of their satisfaction with his management, and that the fol-
lowing gentlemen do form a Committee, with power to add to their
numbers, for the purpose of carrying this resolution into effect ; and
that the Committee be at the same time instructed to inquire whe-
ther any reductions can be made in the expenditure, without impair-
ing the efficiency of the Establishment."

Institute." (Signed) DEVON, Chairman.
