Abstract
THE Belfast Session of the British Association was brought to a conclusion on Wednesday, the 26th ult., with mutual congratulations between all concerned6 In our animadversions on the high charges for sleeping accommodation charged from some of the members of the Association, we of course meant in no way to reflect on the local authorities or local committee, who exerted themselves to the utmost to render the meeting in every way a success. The vote of thanks to the Mayor was thoroughly deserved as was also the tribute of praise awarded by the Rev. Dr. Henry to the “unflagging zeal” of Dr. Andrews in behalf of this meeting of the Association. One very pleasing result of the meeting, and of a discussion in the Economical Section, was the sudden termination of the extensive strike which had existed in Belfast for a considerable time. The various excursions organised on Thursday were a decided success.
