SOCIAL ScIENCR RSSOCIATION.—At a numerously
attended meeting of the council held on Thursday last,
Lord Brougham was unanimously elected president of the
association for the next annual meeting, which will be held
in Edinburgh in October.
THE PHOTOGRAPHIC SoCIZTY.—The council and
members of this 'misty gave a wince at the Suffolk.street
Gallery last night, which was very fully attended. The
rooms were exceedingly well lighted with gas, and the large
collection of photographs was seen to great advantage. le
addition to these were exhibited some remarkably Coe full-
length portraits, by N. Ludivit Angerer, of Viehua. Y.
Angerer, it appears, is a speculator on • very large stale in
photography, having built a place for carrying on the dif-
ferent procersee as large as a Manchester warehouse. Some
photographs of his establishment were shown at the mum
time. The enamels by photography, done by the process of
Y. Laford de C.unaraac, were objects that attracted much
interest. The awards of prizes by the jurors was ancoonced
by • placard in the room, and the following is the list of
the photographers whose works in the present exhibition
have gained for them the distinction:—l. Portraits, A.
' Clandet,, F.S.A. ; 2. Landscapes, F. Bedford ; 3. bi-
stantaneous, Lieut..Co!ouel Stuart Wortley ; 4. Repro-
dactioos, C. H. Thompson ; 5. Composition, Hy. P. Robin-
son; 6. Amateur, Viscountess Hawarden.
Tnz INTERNATIONAL EXHIBMON. —lt la not
generally known that numerous visitor. on presenting
their cards are daily admitted into the Exhilitiou building.
It is !imposed that a military band shall play on certain
days or the week under the western dome. The building
now shows its enormous magnitude, and is in remarkable
contrast to its former appearance. The photorapb s
secured during its busy days are being sold at the only
remaining stalls by the company who acted as photographers
to the Exhibition. Around these stalls persons still linger
to obtain mementos of the great event of 1862. There is
one statue remaining which seems somewhat emblematical
—it is the,daughter of Sion sitting amidst desolation.
