AGREEMENT with the ROYAL INSTITUTION.

The meeting of the proprietors of the Royal Institution
took place on Friday last, Theodore W. Rathbone, Esq.,
in the chair. After the arrangements with the Town
Council had been broken off in the spring, a period of un-
certainty existed respecting the final issue of the measure.
The interviews were renewed after the death of the late
Earl of Derby, when it was known that by his bequest a
large collection would be placed at the disposal of the
'own; and it was thought that arrangements of a similar
kind might be made in both instances. Accordingly, a
new series of propositions was agreed to by the whole of
the Town Council and the committee of the Royal Insti-
tution, and a general expectation was widely felt that mat-
ters would terminate agreeably tor both parties. It ap-
pears, however, that certain members of the committee,
who had been absent at the time that these second pro-
positions were agreed to, objected strongly to tiwm on
their return. The chairman was one, and it is known that
a circular was sent by him to the members, urging them
strongly to reject the propositions to be submitted to them.
It is also known that one or two other individuals made
the most strenuous efforts on the side of the president's

views. The following resolution was moved by Mr. Wm.
RATHBONE. seconded by Mr. JOSEPH B. YATES, and
carried by the casting vote of the chairman, the numbers
being 19 for, and 19 against :
"That, whilst the proprietors of the Live;--i—
-tul ion are still willing to carry out in its integriy tit
ment mutually agreed up ,n last year by the Carn•-
Council and of the Royal Institution, for transferring ,
Institution Museum and Gallery of Art to the Comm
the basis of such arrangement being free admission of the
lie, and a guaranteed minimum annual expenditure for t.
support and continued advance of the said Museum and Gal

!cry of Art—under the direction of a joint comet
nagement to be appointed by the Council and bl
tors of the Royal Institution ; and including a tr
warehouse property of the Royal Institution far
and use of a Free Public Lii racy, to be placed ut
