Abstract
THE Board of Trinity College, Dublin, have appointed R. Ball, LL.D., F.R.S., to be Royal Astronomer of Ireland, on the foundation of Dr. Andrews. The announcement of this appointment will be received with every satisfaction, as Dr. Ball has already, while acting as assistant to Lord Rosse, distinguished himself as a practical observer. We feel sure he will not forget to profit, or omit to allow astronomical science to profit too, by the excellently appointed observatory at his command. This vacates the chair of Applied Mathematics in the Royal College of Science, Dublin.
