MECHANICS’ INSTITUTE.

PHE REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF THF CHhaRLotrrrows MECHANICS’ INSTITUTE, FOR THE yrar 1858,

Gentiemen ;—Tine, which is ever moving onwaré in. ita course, has brought us to the period wheo we are tu render te you, our constivents, an account of our stewardship.

We feel that it i@ unnecessary to euter very minutely into detail, because our doings throwghout the past year have not veen effected in a corner, bum have been patent to ail, and yon have been the witnesses of our success, aud of our defeats, if we have sustamed any. :

We beteve that tiie Institute haa now got snch a firin ho'd of the affections of a large portion of the community, that jt may be considered one of the standard Societies of thie City, and that irs farure will be one of progress nid of usefulness. In order to eccomplish these resulta, tis friends must pot be idle, but inust work with redoubled energy and greater zea},

Our Lectures, througout the past course, have cenereliy been written with very great ability ; the subjects have been well selecied, and comprehensively discussed, ynd the debates that easued have been conducted w.th courtesy, and marked with candor and good feeling. Lectures and debates have both been high!y creditable to the persons enzaged, as well as to the Institute.
