A full Meeting of the Members of the above Establish-
ment was held yesterday, at the Society's House, in Regent-street.

don, M.P. and a long list of others.
Mr. HENDERSON, the Chairman, read a brief Report, by which

meat in the audit account of the debts due to and from the Society.
The Committee advised the appointment of an Auditor, a Member
of the Council, who should report the exact state of the Society's af-
fairs at the annual meetings. The debts of the Society amount to
14,000/. In bond, of which 11,7001. were incurred on account of the
garden. The simple contract debts amounted, in December last,
to 5,507/. The Committee estimate the assets of the Society at
16,6001., exclusive of the many subscriptions. The Committee re.
commended the adoption of a plan, by which, without injuring the
Society, a saving of 2,1201. per annum may be effected. The
average income of the Society for three years past has been 7,9001.
and the Committee estimate the future income at 6,000/. and the
expences may be brought to 4,0001. per annum after the present
year ; and the sum of 2,0001. may be applied to the payment of
interest and debts. The embarrassments of the Society have
arisen from the imprudence of their Council in taking a garden
on too large a scale, by which the expenses of every kind have
in eight years exceeded the subscriptions and income of every
kind the sum of 29,0001. The Committee conclude their Report,
by recommending that every officer of the Society, who is hereafter
to be entrusted with the collection or receipt of moneys, should find
adequate security.
