PROCEEDINGS OF SCIENTIFIC SOCIETIES. 



INSTITUTION or THE ARCHITECTS OF IRELAND. 



The first annual meeting of tliis excellent institution was held on Wednes- 

 day, Aug. 28, at No. 10, Gloucester-street, for the purposes of electing a 

 council and other officers for tlie ensuing year, and of transacting other busi- 

 ness of importance. 



Richard Morbison, Esa., the Vice-President, iu the Chair. 



An animated conversation ensued between the respected Chairman and 

 other gentlemen present, on the great advantages which the Institution must 

 confer on the country. It was stated, that while the professional architects 

 of Ireland were inferior to no other class of men in Europe, in the several 

 liranches of their profession, and were competent to raise the architectural 

 taste of the country to the pre-eminence which we should hold in eiilighteneil 

 society, they were thwarted in all their eftbrts by a body of men who laid 

 claim to the title of architects, though they were, iu reality, merely mechanics, 

 without any of the knowledge, taste, and learning, which are indis])ensable 

 to the profession. The many tasteless and deformed buildings which every- 

 where meet the eye while going through the country, bear undeniable proof 

 of the truth of this allegation, while the chaste designs which are occasionally 

 met with afford evidence that real talent, if encoiu'aged, is not \\antiug 

 among us. The Institute is founded on the principles of the Royal Insti- 

 tute of British Architects, and it is intended to include among its members 

 and associates all the qualified members of the profession in the country, as 

 well as all the resident nobihty, gentry, and other encouragers of the tine arts, 

 and also, as honorary or corresponding members, the principal learned men 

 of other countries. The objects of the society are the advancement of civil 

 architecture, and of all the other arts and sciences connected with it ; the 

 formation of a library and museum ; the earning on of a correspondence witli 

 learned men in all parts of the world ; and, in fact, the raising of the pro- 

 fession to its legitimate state in the country, and the improving of the national 

 taste for architecture. 



The Secretary read a very flattering letter from Lord Fitzgerald and Vesci, 

 consenting to become the President of their society, and also from the Mar- 

 quis of Normanby and other noblemen and gentlemen, stating their warm 

 feelings of co-operation vidth the objects of the Institute. 



The following arc the officers ajijiointed for the ensuing year : — 



President, Lord Fitzgerald and Vesci ; Vice-President, Richard Morrison, 

 Esq. ; Council, William MiuTay, Fi'cderick Darley, Wilham Dean Butler, 

 William Farrcll, James Shell, George Papworth, and John T. Papworth, 

 Esqrs. ; Treasurer, Wilham Murray, Esq. ; Secretaiy, John T. Papworth, Esq. ; 

 Bankers, Messrs. Latouche and Co. 



The Milling Journal. — We feel ourselves called upon to direct the attention 

 of those of our readers engaged in mining ]Airsuils, to the subscriplion now- 

 going on among the members of that interest, to express their sense of Mr. 

 English's conduct, in the late action fur libel brought against him by a Mr. 

 William Millie Thomas. The jury expressed the sense of all well-tliinking 

 members of society bv awarding a farthing damages, while the judge awarded 

 a farthing only for tlie costs, and his friends have taken tliis opportunity to 

 present him with a permanent testimony of his victory, and of their esteem. 



STEAM NAVIGATION. 



T/if^ St'sostris. — The launch of this beautiful vessel took place the beginning 

 of last month, from the dockyard of Mr. Pitcher, at NorthHeet. The Se- 

 sostris is one of a class built by order of the East India Company, for the 

 express purpose of protecting their trade in the Indian seas. .She is a mag- 

 nificent vessel, of the highest order of naval architecture, and is altogether 

 « urthy of the important post assigned to her. She is now in the East India 

 Docks receiving her engines. 



Tlie Boston mid Lircrpooi Steam Ships. — Mr. Cunard, the enterprising pro- 

 prietor of the line of steam ships to run between Boston and Liverpool, via 

 Halifax, has arrived in town. He came passenger to New York in the 

 British Queen. 



He has determined, as we are informed, that the large boats of his line 

 shall run, between Liverpool and Boston, merely .stopping at Halifax some 

 hours, to discharge freight and passengers. Of these boats he has four now 

 building at (ilasgow. each 1.260 tons, with engines of 460 horse power. 

 They are upwards of 200 feet long, and 34 feet wide. He has two smaller 

 boats building, for the purpose of keeping up a communication between Pic- 

 ton and Quebec. 



What Mr. Cunard asks of the Bostonians is, that they should provide him 

 with a wharf, without charge, at which his vessels may be safely moored 

 while in this city. .Such a wharf, it is supposed, will cost from 40.000 dollars 

 to 50.000 dollars. The committee appointed some time since for that puri>ose, 

 are taking measures, we believe, to collect the necessary amount. We cannot 

 have a doubt of thiir speedy success. It is not to be supposed that our 

 merchants will hesitate a moment about securing to themselves the great 

 advantage of a semi-monthly steam-packet communication with England. 

 It was the establishment of regular linos of packets between New York and 

 Liverpool that first led to the great concentration of the foreign trade in 

 that city. We ought to improve the present opportunity of regaining our 

 fair share of that trade. 



Mr. Cunard 's line is to commence its trips on the 1st of May ne.\t, In
