 Balauce in Treasury. 2lO 4G
 From inc above statement will he seen how low are the funds of the Society at present, owing chiefly to the recent purchase of the three story house and lot adjoining the old Asylum. Tic ''mGnagcts" were induced to incur this additional expense for several reasons. 1st. Ii was deemed proper that the male and female orphans hlherio, from necessity, resi- ding n the same sBse, anG about equal in numbers, should be kept in separate est Llishme Is, which could not he done wthodt pr0cu. ng anu Ter house. 2d. The ''sistcrs of charity lately arrived from the North take charge of the ina aituti1n, purpose cnn- duetHg. iu addition to the Ae1 nn, fee school for such children ther parents unable to educate, for which they had no in the house already oc- cupied by the orphans.
 An additional motive 10 this purchase, besides it's immediate connection with the other Asylum and the heallhiuncss of the location, Iae comparatively sEall sum for which this very spacious and soidly constructed building obtained from the At. Rev. Bshop Porlier, with the extensive lot annexed to 1t, the whole purchase money being but three thousand dollars, 3090) little tilan half what lhe build ing itself cost, and of which. (as specified aboye) tnl,, niouaqers ,,e,e sI istfer encouraged in thns extending the usefulness of tliaf society, especially the large number cl children and abunt the city, Who for want oi nciis isre destitute ot education, by their confident reliance on tho oyerblally gener charity of fli5 cnn. uBity, of which they have had already such ann ple tsstimanies It may be well to mention here that, in the last item of expenditures { 1J2,) besides fhe travelling expenses of the four "sisers' from Mary land Mo bile are also included 500, Ihe annual auount, (vz only 90 for each sister) given to the moiherhouse, out of which they arc furnished, during the year, wi,h all necessary clothing.
 Alter the above plain statement of their manage ment during the past eleven months, the ladies deem it entirely unnecessary to make further appeal the generous sympathies f their patrons in behalf of the numerous, interesting, but he bless family, (now 36 orphans,) under the charge, and almost wholly de- pendant for support, during the coming year, the proceeds of the Fair to be held on New Years Eve, for their benefit, at the Alhambra, the public arc already notified.
 The managers would merely add that, whllc they fatter themselves, the above ''accot of Their stew ardship" will meet the appreciation of their friends, they would also hope that, the present solid and per- manent basis which both Asyums are now eslab lished, and the persons who of all others are best adapted to the duty, in charge of their inmates, will give additional confidence to their humane and generous patrons.
 lrfurther Inducement were necessary, the mana gers would beg leave to their friends that the ladies of the society, assisted by many others, have piled all their skill n'combnng te asefui and bcaUt- ttd, in the articles prepared for their New Years acceptanoe--all ofwhich is respectfully submitted. 7.
