The following Report was read by the Provisional Se-
cretary :
The Provisional Committee of the Liverpool Collegiate
Institution, for the Education of the Commercial, Trading,
and Working Classes, which was appointed at a meeting held
at the Savings' Bank, on the 15th of October, 1839, have
now the satisfaction of laying before the subscribers a state-
ment of their proceedings since that period.
The resolution of the clergy with respect to the principles
upon which they could consistently join the proposed Insti-
tution having been unanimously adopted at a meeting already
mentioned, your committeeissued a prospectus in strict con-
formity with the tenor of it. t That prospectus has been widely
circulated through the town and neighbourhood of Liverpool,
fer the purpose of obtaining subscriptions, and the list of do-
nations testifies how well the proposed design has been appre-
giptE4tWurg jpbsiscjikci 28atitisEtrio4beink upwards
existing circumstances of commercial pressure, affords the
strongest grounds of hope that the funds yet necessary for the
success of the undertaking will be provided, as the importance
of the Institution, and the urgency of its wants, become more
extensively known.
Your Committee recommend that the privilege ofnominating
Students to the two contemplated Day Schools, shall be con-
ferred upon Donors in the manner following :—A Donor of
£250 to be entitledto one nomination in the First School du-
ring life ; a Donor of £5OO to two nominations in the First,
and one in the Second School during life ; a Donor of £750
to three nominations in the First School, two of which shall
be for life, and one in perpetuity ; and a Donor of £l,OOO to
four nominations, of which two shall be for life, and two in
perpetuity. Should the Donor prefer nominating to the
Second rather than to the First School, two nominations in
the Second shall be deemed equivalent to one in the First.
A Student so nominated to enjoy the same privilege of at-
tending Lectures, Evening Classes., &c., as may be assigned
to Life Members. The Scholarships in perpetuity to be
called by the names of the founders.
Your Committee have entered into preliminary negociations
for a plot of land, as one of the sites which may be deemed
eligible for the intended buildings, and recommend that their
successors be empowered to make all needful arrangements
for the purchase of land, and, the completion of the Institu-
tion.
Your Committee are deeply impressed with the supreme
importance of basing all intellectual education upon religious
principle, and of hallowing every procedure of the school by
associating it with the Word of God and Prayer. They are
also fully persuaded that such sacred influence will, under
the Divine blessing, be secured by a course of religious edu-
cation in strict accordance with the Articles, Homilies and
Liturgy, of the united Church of England and Ireland. On
this great principle they have proceeded, and every step of
their progress has increased the persuasion in which their
efforts were commenced. They are happy to announce as a
ground of hope and confidence, that the Lord Bishop of the
diocese has expressed his entire approbation of the plan upon
which they have acted, and his willingness to undertake the
office of Visitor to the Institution.
It was moved by the Rev. R. P. BUDDICOM, M.A„ seconded
by JOHN Moss, Esq.,

That the Report now read be adopted, and that this Meet-
ing fully recognises as an established principle, the duty of
maintaining indissolubly the connexion between sound reli-
gion and useful learning, as set forth in the first paragraph

mittee, and resolve that such Prospectus be the basis of all
future proceedings.
It was moved by the Rev. HUGH M`NEILE, A.M., seconded
by CHARLES GROVES., Esq., and .

and salutary. influence which the Institution, under the
Divine Blessing, must exert in supplying the intellectual and
spiritual necessities of the community, earnestly recommends

hood, and resolve, so far as may depend upon themselves,
and their own exertions, to promote its efficiency.

by JOHN RIGBY, Esq., and
