heartily concur. Though seldom seen among us in later years, 
he was always desirous to promote the welfare of our Society, 
and he headed with a munificent donation the list of contribu¬ 
tors to the extension of the Museum. The Council have 
conveyed to the Earl of Carlisle the expression of their 
unanimous wish, that he would allow himself to be nominated 
for the Presidentship, and they have the pleasure of announcing 
that his Lordship has acceded to their request. They hojie 
that when this amiable and accomplished nobleman has ceased 
to fill the high office which he now holds, and has returned to 
his ordinary residence, our Meetings may often he graced by 
his presence. 
The Council have also to propose to this Meeting, to mark 
their sense of the liberality of the Rev. Danson Richardson 
Roundell, by electing him an Honorary Member of the Society. 
Four Members of the present Council, Mr. Wm. Anderson, 
the Rev. Thos. Bayly, the Rev. Thos. Myers, and Mr. Kitching, 
retire by rotation and are ineligible for the present year.
