That the Society may with great propriety adopt this proceeding will appear evident from the fact that near¬ ly one thousand pounds of interest ha^ accrued upon the funds while in thf: course of distribution so that more money hM been already given to ml- ferers than has been contributed by (he subscribers.—The balance now re¬ maining does not amount 'u one half of the said interest, it cannottherefore be wrong to transfer a small part of it ko this new and most important benevo¬ lence.

The \ledaN are under the care of fhe So¬ licitor Cieueral and may be daily ex¬ pected. It would have been very satisfactory to the Treasurer to have been relieved at this meeting from the duties of hi* Office, but the correspondence which he has the honor to cuhmit afi'ords eve¬ ry reason to suppose that a large addi¬ tional sum will soon be placed at the Society's disposal it seem therefore inexpedient to close its concerns on the present occasion.
