Abstract
WE have apprised our readers from time to time of the progress of the arrangements for the proposed College of Physical Science in Newcastle. In our report of the meeting held on the 25th of March, at which the scheme was first publicly broached, we expressed an estimate of the administrative ability of the committee appointed to carry into effect the resolutions then adopted, which events have amply justified. A second public meeting was held in Newcastle on Saturday last to receive at the hands of the executive an account of their labours, and the Report now before us shows the energy which has been brought to bear upon a complicated and laborious task. Few who read the announcement of the first meeting—probably few even of those who were there present—supposed that the ship, of which the lines were then but talked of, could be ready at the expiration of little more than three months to launch and make her trial voyage.
