At the last Annual Meeting, the Council were authorized to 
present an invitation to the British Association for the advancement 
of Science, to hold their Meeting for 1843, in this City, provided 
they saw reason to believe sufficient money could be raised for 
defraying the attendant expenses. In compliance with this resolution, 
the Council lost no time in making application to the Members of 
this Society and to the Friends of Science connected with the County, 
for their support, and finding that ample funds might be depended 
upon, they appointed a deputation of their body to attend, and 
present the invitation to the Meeting at Manchester. The invitation 
was presented, but owing to urgent solicitations on the part of 
the inhabitants of Cork, the Association determined that its next 
Annual Meeting should be held in that City. The Council, however, 
have strong reason to hope, that should the present Meeting authorize 
them to renew their invitation, for the Association to meet in York 
in 1844, that body will be induced to accept it; and we shall once 
more have the high honor and gratification of welcoming within our 
walls, a Society which had its origin amongst us, and which may now 
be iustlv considered as the first and most influential body of Natura- 
lists and Philosophers the world can boast.
