The second question, Whether there should be Trials by Junes in certain Civil Cases was carried in the af

The third question, Whether the Court of Session should be divided in'o Chambers 2-was carried in the afli.mative, by 78 against 41.

An Institution, on the plan of the Royal and London Institutions, for the application of science to the common purposes of life, under the patronage of his Grace the Duke of Bedford, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, is about to be established at Cork. Upon application to his Grace the Lord Lieutenant, Government has pressed their intention, that, when the old custom-house, part of which is still occupied by the excise department and by the collector of the customs, shall be no longer wanted for those purposes, in consequence of the erection of a new custom-house, it shall be given to the Institution, and rooms shall be allotted for the following purposes, viz.

1. A lecture room, with one or two rooms near it for the different appa

ratus.

2. A laboratory for chemical experiments and operations.

3. A room for a collection of minerals.

4. An apartment for the most approved implements of husbandry.

5. A small observatory.

6. A library for scientific works, for the use of the members.

7. Two rooms for the use of the Cork library.

8. A room for the use of the farming society, or committee of agriculture, in which specimens of grain, timber, &c. and useful notices of various kinds, may be kept.

9. A board room, in which the members of the society shall lo.d their various meetings, and which may be occasionally used for the meetings of committees on business of public

A botanical garden will also be established at a short distance from the city, the objects of which will be chiefly agricultural, and in which all unnecessary expence will be avoided.
