MEETINGS OF THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION IN

DUBLIN.
(Abridged from the Dublin Evening Packet and the Dublin
Evening Mail.)
This distinguished body, which numbers among its members
all the eminent scientific and literary men in Europe, com-
menced its sitting on Monday, in Dublin, being its fifth annual
meeting, and the first that has been held in this country. For
several days past the city presented an unusually animated and
bustling appearance—crowds of strangers pouring in from all
parts to attend the meeting. On Friday last a number of dis-
tinguished strangers arrived in Sir John Tobin's steamer, which
that gentleman had very liberally placed at the disposal of the
association, for the conveyance of its members. On Saturday
a vast number of Scotch and English professors' from the Uni-
versities of Oxford, Cambridge, and Edinburgh, assembled in
the theatre of Trinity College, to meet their literary brethren of
our own country, who have arrived in town in great numbers.
It is anticipated that the session will be more remarkable than
any that has yet taken place. The association has already
enrolled as members all the distinguished members of the lite-
rary and scientific bodies that our country can boast of, besides
the members of the different learned professions.
