The Auditors in submitting their Report to the Society, 

 beg leave to ticknowk-dge the zeal and acc>u-acy with which 

 the Treasiu'er fulfils the duty he has been entrusted with for 

 many years ; they regi-et to state that there is no increase 

 in the funds of the Society ; the amount in chest being nearly 

 the same as it M'as at the same period of last year: The ba- 

 lance in favor of the Society on the rirst ot July 1 848 was a 

 sura of £203 2 8 



The amount in chest at present is £116 4 (> 



Tu which must be added thi- amount of the Gold 

 and Silver Medals remaining to be awarded by 

 the Society 83 12 9

I This result must be attributed: 1st to the lieavy expences to 

 which the Agricultural Committee was put, and which it 

 would be advisable to reduce for the coming year, and 2ndly 

 to some inexactitude in the payment of subscriptions. 

 r Nevertheless the Society is fi-ee from any debt and with 

 Bome good will on the part of the members of the Society and 

 particularly of the recovering clerk, its revenues will still be 

 more than adequate to meet its expences. 



The following statements contain the particulars, which ac- 

 cording to the rules, the Auditors are bound to fiiniish to the 

 Society.
