the advancement of science, would at the same time afford to all the means of 
innocent and healthful recreation. The Report having been received, Mr. 
Eddison read over the proposed laws, which were of considerable length, and 
which had been digested with much care by the Secretary and the Committee. 
They were afterwards read again seriatim, and passed with some amendments 
proposed by Mr. Bond and others. It was determined that at present there 
should be no annual subscribers, and that therefore the only persons entitled to 
all the privileges of the Gardens should be the shareholders—the shares being of 
the value of <£10 each. It was also resolved that visitors should be admitted to 
the Gardens on payment of a shilling, and children on payment of sixpence ; 
and that the Council should be empowered to admit visitors on still lower terms 
on particular days of the week, if they thought proper-—this being intended to 
facilitate the admission of the working classes. We believe it is intended 
speedily to publish the laws at length. The following are the names of the 
Officers and^Council chosen :—
