The Treasurer submitted his financial statement, from

 year had amounted to 164 155. id., leaving a balance in 

 hand of 4 145. nd. The contribution for the ensuing 

 year was fixed at two pounds ten shillings. The total 

 attendance at the dinners since the last Anniversary was 

 345, comprising 262 members and 83 visitors. 



Five vacancies were reported in the membership. Four 

 of these were caused by the deaths of Francis Baily, John L. 

 Guillemard, Thomas Phillipps, and Dr. Edmund Goodenough, 

 Dean of Wells. A fifth arose from the departure of Sir 

 John Franklin on his Arctic expedition, and his consequent 

 transference to the Supplemental List. The vacancies were 

 filled by ballot, when the following candidates were duly 

 elected : John Merewether, Captain Henry Howland Bran- 

 dreth, Hart Davis, John Barrow, and Travers Twiss. The 

 death of Professor Daniell, which occurred on March I3th, 

 did not involve any vacancy, he being an ex officio member 

 as Foreign Secretary of the Royal Society. 



The usual arrangement for the dinners during the vacation 

 was continued, and the Marquess of Northampton and Mr. 

 Joseph Smith were re-elected as respectively President and 

 Treasurer of the Club. 



Of the five new members now added the following few 

 particulars may be inserted here. The Rev. John Mere- 

 wether, D.D., was appointed Dean of Hereford in 1832.
