In the Rpport rna.de to the General Meeting at this period last year, 'the Suhscribers were inforn1ed, that by the exertions of a few of the Members of th,e Committee, a sufficient sum had been collected in the shape of donations, 'by which the very heavy amount of debt that had previously weighed so 'seriously on the prosperity and usefulness of the Institution, had been reduced :to the sum of £1,050, but to this sum ought to have been added the interest 'due th.ereoll; which has since been paid, amounting to £80 19s. ild.
Yon were also informed, gentleInen, tha.t an al'rangenlent had been , lnade 'with the Port Phillip Savings' Bank, by which the Institution was to 'receive a SUll1 of £800, on a mortag;e of the prenlises, at an Interest of 8 '" ;cent. ~1 annum.
This arrangement has since been finally carried out and by a fUl~ther paYment of £130 fDs. 'id., towal'Cls the original debt the balance now due there on to Captain Swans,ton, (the late rnurtgagee,) is reduced to £200.
The total debt, therefore, now due by the Institution is to the Savings' Bank ..• ... ... •.. ... ...

By the new laws introduced and adopted at the last General ~Ieet .. ing, whereby" all persons who may not have paid their Annual Subscriptions by the 31st of March in each year, shall cease to be Members;" your Committee will, at that date, be enabled to make the disbursements for the cur .. rent year with certainty, and until this period they propose to defer the payment of the old debt of £200, as should their expectations with reference. to the funds not be realized, they will endeavour to enter into other arrangements by which a portion of the said debt may, in its payment, be postponed until the next year; the Committee, therefore, pledge themselves to the Subscribers to expend at least the sum of £150 in the increase of the Library and support of the Reading Room.
A.s a few of the Members of the Institution who were not present at the last Annual General Meeting expressed some doubt of the policy and propriety of the Law, whereby" All persons who may not have paid their Subscriptions on or before t.he 31st of March in each year, shall cease to be Members," the Committee have great pleasure in assuring such l\-1embers that the adoption thel'eof has been attended with the most beneficial eft'ects to the
. 1 ff· S ll!stitution, not' only enabling .. the Committe? to regt~la.te t~e filla?Cla a alr of the Institution with. confidence and certalnty, but 111 havlng excluded from the List of l\'Iembers a number of persons who av~iled themselves of all the privileges of the Institution, .without having contrIbuted any payment what-t9ver for a series of years to Its supporto
In. the· foregoing statement your Committee haye ~letailed fully fo1." your information the present financial position of the Instltutl?n, and the pro .. posed application of the Revenue for the current year, WhICh th~y cannot doubt .will be satisfactory to. you, and they beg to further add, a br.ief sketch ot the progress of the· Institution during the last two years .

Your Committee having gi ven a full statement of the finaneial proS"~. pects of the Institution, 'would now call your attention to a 11101'e detailed; ac.c.ount of the advancement of the several branches of the Society's objectso
THE LIBRARY.
, In the month of nlay, 18-16, the Treasurer of the Institution forwarde(t to Nlessrs. Simmonds and 'Yard, of London, the sum of £50 for the purchase· of W ol.'ks of Popuhtl' I.iterature suitable to the taste of the general readers· belong'ing to the Society, and 'which they reasonably expected to receive in: the COllrse of the ensuing year at the farthest, but as yet, though nearly two· ' years have elapsed, they have not received any ~tccount whatever of the outlay: i
of the ~·ullds. l'Olnitted, the receipt however, has been duly acknowledged. Upon thIS subJect soveral very urgent Jetters have been sent to Messrs. Simmonds and 'Yard, and also to :LvIl". vVestp·(tl'th, (the late Treasurer of theInstitution,) which, it is hoped, have had the effect of causing the Books. ordered to be purchased and forwarded without delay. N otwithstandinp· the· dralvback occasioned by the above annoying circumstances, your Coml~itteo fp-cl pleasure in stating that the Library has been increased by the addition of" nearly 4~O ·vols., by purchase and donations, and that the daily circulation of the "VorKs belonging to it is calculated on an aver:.tge to be between 250 and 300 vols., the greater part of these being constituted of those purchased by" your Com~1ittee during' the past year. .. .. Your Comn1ittee would also draw your attention to the fact of the· LIbrary having contained ::only 400 vols. in the year 1843, whereas the· number of volumes at present exceeds 2,000 ! .
. Owing to the great inconvenience and delay arising fronl remitting_ money ~o Englan.d for the purchase of Books, your Conl111ittee have it in contemplatIOn (provIded more satisfactory arrangenlents cannot be made) to· purcha~e Books in these Colonies, so that as far as possible the wishes of the· I
Subscribers for New vVorks of interest and utility may be at onceaIid.;~ promptly mot.
THE READINd· ItooM. .
F.rom tho number of Persons daily attending at the Reading Room, of'the IpstItntion your Committee are induced to augur favorably of its usefu,lIless In extending the inforluation contained in the various Periodicals of the· day, a?d t~lat from the many advantages which it holds out to the public gene:ally, It WIll become of material importance towards the advancement of thelnterests of the Society.
MUSEUM. In the department of the Museum, your Committee regret that since·
the d~te ~f the last Repoit so little has been done towards its extension, the contrIbutl.ons.not baving increased in the ratio that might be expected in a c.ountry rICh In v.ery many of the productions which constitute such collections. A few o~.Jects have, however, been presented, which, with the names· of the Donors WIll be found appended to this Report. Under the circumstances y~ur Committee take this opportunity of earnestly inlpressing upon: all well-WIshers of the Institution and those desirino• the advancement of the' commu~ity in S.cience and the knowledge of the res~urce3 of the country, the u~questlOnable Importance of' an extensive collection of objects of Natural HIstory, and they ~lOW call upon theIn to contribute, which they do the· more· earnestly as thero IS rarely to be found an individual who with little or no troub!e or expense to himself cannot assist in the acco~p1ishment of so desirable an object.
-LECTURES ..
th . I D~ring ~he coul:se ~f the pr~sent s~ason there have bee~ deliver~d' to· . 1 e l\:Iernbels of the InstItutlOu a serlOS of nIne Lectures on varIOUS subJects· )y Messrs. ~orbes,. Barry, ~orison, Ramsay, anel IIaydon, to whom the th~nks of tIns l\Ieetlng, for theIr eloquent and able exertions will be duly trans" . mltted rrh' . . 1 : Cl e IS every reason to hopo that henceforward not only will t le aSSIstance of the Gentlemen named bo again offered to the Institution, but tl~~t many ,others who have already kindly promised thcit' aiel to the Societv Wl! come forward and give Lectul'es before the close of the present year. ", i

CLASSBS~
. Yo~ur C~mmittoe would feel.themselves wanting. in. their duty, did: t~ey not n~tlC~ wIth ma,rkecl approbatIOn the zeal of the Honor~ry Secretary of the InstltutIOn, who fOl' the last twelve rl1ontl1s, has devoted Ius professional.
.- abilities towards the instl.'uction of severallVIOlubers in the art of perspective dL'awing and colouring, and that too, without charge to either the pupils, 01"
th.e Society. To carry out the views of the above Gentleman, your CommitteowIll at the very first opportunity, devote from the funds at their disposal, a sunl for the purchase of models, copies:, &c., for the utie of the Members attending the drawing' class.
. .It French class is now also ill operation under the superintendence of lVlr .. Butterfield, a fee of half a-guinea per quarter being paid by the Pupils.-Attenclance twice a week.
The exertions of the above Gentlemen, have been attended with suc~ess, and YOU1' Committee would earnestly recommend the lVlembers to avaIl themselves of the advantages thus afforded t.hem.
Y OUl" Committee are in hopes that before the close of the present year, they will be enabled to establish Classes, having for their object, the diffusion of adult education in its various branches.
. In conclusion, your Committee deem it necessary to explain, that their reason for deferring the task of conlpiling a catalogue for the use of the ~embers, was the non-arrival of the bool~s daily expected from their agents.. In London, as, had they pl'epared such a list, and the new works come to hand,. the additional expense of a complete revision of the catalogue woul.d have: been occasioned ..
