ever can attach on this account to the Officers of the 

 Institution to whom the Museum is entrusted; on 

 the contrary, the most cursory inspection will con- 

 vince any one that the highest praise is due to Mr. 

 George, the Curator, for the advantageous and 

 judicious arrangement which has been adopted. 



While upon this subject, the Council cannot 

 withhold the renewed expression of their gratitude 

 to the memory of Mr. Atkinson, the founder of the 

 Museum, whose decease, during the past Session, 

 forms a melancholy epoch in the history of the 

 Society. 



As has been already hinted, the income of the 

 Society is more than expended. A balance of 

 £15 lis. 2d. is now due to the Treasurer, and 

 some obligations remain yet undischarged. On the 

 proprietary account a balance of £178 Is. 8d. is 

 also due to the Treasurer. It should, however, be 

 stated, on the other side, that several of the 

 annual subscriptions are yet unpaid. The cellars 

 also under the Hall still remain untenanted, — a cir- 

 cumstance which further diminishes the income 

 of the Society.
