The last meeting of the Association was held in the large 

 and splendid hall of the College Library, the galleries of which 

 were set apart for the accommodation of ladies. The doors 

 were thrown open about half-past two o''clock, when a great 

 rush was made for admission, and, a little after three o'clock, 

 when the business commenced, the hall was filled. A short 

 time before this, the Lord High Chancellor Brougham made 

 his appearance on the platform.

 neral committee, having considered the circumstances under 

 which the invitations were brought forward, had unanimously 

 resolved that the invitations of the constituted scientific autho- 

 rities in Dublin should be accepted, and that the next meeting
