Richard Carmichael, Esq., was elected a Member in March, 

 1812, and served for some time on the Council. His eminence as a 

 surgeon, and his contributions to the literature of that profession, 

 have made his name well known in every part of Europe ; and his 

 zeal for the advancement of science, particularly in the departments 

 to which his life was devoted, was manifested by the munificent 

 bequests which he has left behind him for the endowment of pro- 

 fessional institutions, and the support of medical charities in this 

 city. Mr. Carmichael's death took place on the 8th of June, 1849. 



William Murray, Esq., died 1 1th June, 1849. He was elected 

 a Member of the Academy in January, 1830. 



The Hon. Frederick Ponsonby died in June last; he was 

 elected a Member in January, 1843. 



Lord Walscourt died 28th May, 1849 ; he was elected a Mem- 

 ber of the Academy in November, 1844. 



The Rev. John Connell, Chaplain of the Royal Hospital, 

 Dublin, died at Bath in October last. He was a Member of the 

 Academy since January, 1846. 



Sir Richard Morrison, elected a Member in January, 1835, died 

 in October, 1849. 



The Rev. Charles Richard Elrixgton, D. D., Regius Pro- 

 fessor of Divinity in the University, died at Armagh, January 18, 

 1850. He had been a Member of the Academy since May, 1816, 

 and was for years an active and useful Member of Council. He was 

 elected a Fellow of Trinity College in 1810, and resigned his Fel- 

 lowship on being appointed to the Professorship of Divinity in 

 1829. His loss will be deeply felt in many of the public institutions 

 and charitable societies of Dublin, of whose governing bodies he 

 was a zealous and influential member for many years. Dr. Elring- 

 ton was well known and highly respected, both in this country and 

 in England, for his learning and theological attainments; and his 

 edition of Ussher's works will continue to preserve his memory in 

 connexion with one of the greatest names of our national literature. 

 It is matter of congratulation to his friends, that Dr. Elrington was 

 permitted to live until after he had completed his Life of Archbi- 

 shop Ussher, a work of high and increasing reputation, that re- 

 flects the utmost credit on the learning, the industry, and ability
