Kennedy, the President, being in the chair \u2013 when a most interesting lecture on \u201cPlant Life\u201d was delivered by Mr Cooke Trench, D.L. There was a fairly good attendance of members and their friends, who all appeared to thoroughly enjoy the evening\u2019s entertainment. Mr Trench illustrated his lecture with specimens of various grasses, ferns, &amp;c, and kept his audience absorbed the whole time, though some of them had evidently expected rather a dry evening. At the close of the lecture, which was seconded by Mr Lanphier, and most enthusiastically passed; and after a few words in reply from Mr Trench, the meeting ended.The subject for next Wednesday will be a lecture on \u201cThree Mad Poets,\u201d by the Rev W.
