following four Members of the Board:
Mr. Richard Sheil. j Mr. Thomas Urquhart.
Mr. Robert Whittle. I Air. W. J. Ruberts.
The great utility and efficiency of the Mechanics' Institution
having -been proved to the Public by eight years' experience,
under the most disadvantageous circumstances, and it being
now universally admitted, that the present Rooms are totally
inadequate (and scarcely applicable) for the accommodation
of even a part, of the present members, and that many aro alto.
gether excluded from the benefits which the Institution would
otherwise afford did space permit the extension of its opera_
tions, it is hoped that the support of the wealthy portion of the
public will be promptly and liberally bestowed for the purpose ,
of erecting a suitable building.
It has been estimated that about the suns of £7OOO will be
recprired for this purpose. £2250 has been already subscribed,
which includes the donation of £lOOO from R. V. Yates and
James Mulleneux, Esqrs.; and also the following donations
received at the above Meeting, from Wm. Ewart, Esq. M.P.
£2O; Jos. Ewart, Esq. £l5 156.; Rev. Peter Ewart, LIU 10e.
Subscriptions will be received at the Bank of Messrs. S.
HOPE and Co., or by any Member of the Committee.
