 Glasgow, litk Xovember, 1849.— We have examined the Treasiirer's Account, and com- 

 pared the same with the Vouchers, and find that there is in the Union Bank of Scotland 

 the sum of Xiuety Pounds sterling, and in the Provident Bank One Pound Fifteen Shil- 

 lings and One Penny ; and that the Treasurer is in advance One Poimd Seventeen Shil- 

 lings and Tenpence (say £\ 17s. lOd.) sterling, thus leaving a net Cash Balance in favour 

 of the Society of Eighty-nine Poimds Seventeen Shillings and Threepence. The Treasm-er 

 has also exliibited to us a Voucher which he holds for money lent to the Coi-poration of 

 the City of Glasgow, from the proceeds of the Philosophical Society Exhibition in 1846, 

 with the Interest thereon up to loth Jlay ult.,— the amoimt at said date of loth May 

 being Five Hundred and Five Poimds Sixteen Shillings and One Penny sterling.

Note hy the Treasurer. — \ith, Xovemher, 1849 . — From the above Account it will be seen 

 *hat the Income has exceeded the Expenditui-e in the amount of £56 I7s. 4d. This has 

 arisen chiefly from the increased niunber of Members admitted. But the Society is under 

 liabihties to Booksellers about £55, which, when paid, wiU reduce the money stock to 

 neai-ly the same amount as at commencement of last Session. The number of Members 

 on the RoU at commencement of the Session was 222 ; new Members admitted, 30 ; 

 making in all 252. Of these have died 8 ; resigned by letter, 5 ; and expimged from the 

 roll of Resident Members for being in arreai-s, 8 ;— in all 21, to be deducted from the 

 above-named munber,— leaving 231 Members on the roll at this date. There are now 13 

 Members in an-ear of dues for one year, the major part of whom have removed their resi- 

 dence out of Glasgow, but have not intimated this oflicially to the Secretaiy. Had this 

 been done, conform to Law XL, and a desire expressed that then- names should be re- 

 tained on the hst of Non-Resident Members, their privilege would have thereby been 

 reserved of " resuming then- position as Resident Jlembers whenever they return to 

 Glasgow, upon payment of the ciurent year's subscription." By neglect of giving this 

 intimation, the name is retamed on the General Roll, and dues exacted till expuy of two 

 years, at which period, if not paid, the name is then cxpiuiged from the list, and cannot 

 be restored without a new election, and one guinea of entr\'-moncy paid.
