4. The revenue fron1 the SlIlall Hall is £234 5s. ; frorn the Offices £1:;7; and frolll rOOIl1S, £119 12s.

5. Especial attention has been given to manage the finances of the Institution with as much economy as is consistent with a due regard to a proper supply of books, periodicals, and ne\vspapers. The total expenditure for the ordinary purposes of the Institution is £219] 17s. 3d.

6. The number of books added to the Library is 582. The sum of £562 9s. 9d. was spent for books, magazines, and newspapers; also £92 1 s. 4d. for binding.

S. The loa.n on mortgage has been reduced by £500, leaving £5000 still to be paid. 'This amount, at the present rate of income, the COlTIluittee hope to reduce at the rate of £500 per year.

present requjrements of this city, has received a large amount of attention. A special Sub-committee was appointed to consider the subject, and after receiving their report, it was decided by the General CJolnmittee, after mature deliberation, that it would be prudent to postpone the undertaking until the debt on the Institution shall have been further reduced.

10. Another matter that luts been discussed is the lighting of the Institution with the electric Hght. rrhe advantage to be derived therefrom in lessening the heat in the reading rooms during the summer lTIonths n1akes it highly desirable to have the new light introduced as soon as possible.
