The  Committee  to  confer  with  the  Board  of  Trade,  &c.,  were,  on  their 
own  motion,  discharged. 
Bradford  Bitter  resigned  his  membership  in  the  College — accepted. 
The  Annual  Beport  of  the  Publication  Committee  was  read,  as  follows  : 
"  The  Publishing  Committee  respectfully  Beport,  that  the  Journal  has  been 
regularly  issued  since  the  last  annual  meeting  of  the  College.  Owing  to  a 
sudden  increase  in  subscribers  last  Spring,  and  to  the  resolution  of  the 
College  entitling  each  member  to  a  copy  of  the  Journal,  the  volume  for  last 
year  became  deficient  in  several  of  its  numbers,  so  as  to  require  the  printing 
of  a  larger  aggregate.  This  deficiency  may  hereafter  render  it  advisable  to 
reprint  part  of  the  volume,  in  order  to  furnish  complete  sets  of  the  last 
series.

The  Publishing  Committee  have  ceased  to  employ  one  of  the  parties  and 
his  agents  who  formerly  made  the  distant  collections  for  the  Journal,  and 
by  sending  the  bills  direct  to  the  subscribers,  though  the  postage  has  been 
increased,  yet  a  large  amount  has  been  saved  the  College. 
The  Committee  on  Latin  Labels  reported — 
"That  since  last  year,  they  have  printed  three  editions  of  labels  ;  one  edi- 
tion of  250  books  of  fine  bronze  ground  on  steel  blue  paper,  with  dark 
letters,  and  of  superior  finish  ;  the  second,  an  edition  of  1000  copies  on  yel- 
low paper,  with  black  letters,  similar  in  form  to  the  finest  bronze ;  the 
third,  an  edition  of  2000  copies  of  labels  on  yellow  paper,  suitable  for 
physicians  ;  the  whole  were  completed  about  the  first  of  the  year,  at  an 
expense  of  near  $3500. 
From  the  balance  on  hand  at  last  report,  they  have  paid  to  the  Com- 
mittee on  repairing  the  College  $150  ;  with  the  balance  and  funds  arising 
from  sales  of  the  present  editions,  they  have  made  payments  for  editing 
and  printing  of  the  above,  amounting  to  $1110  00,  and  have  made  arrange- 
ments for  meeting  the  other  payments  as  they  fall  due.
