victory which must be hailed with satisfaction by every
admirer of the fine arts, and well-wisher for the advance-
ment of our country in the increase of knowledge, taste,
and refinement, as connected with the arts generally. A
royal charter of incorporation having been granted, the
existence of this society is no longer precarious, but esta-
blished on a basis which must secure its future prosperity
—the funds, operations, and management, receiving eon,
