and a plume of the Order, with a moat magnificent
tiara of Irish diamonds ; but, to the dignity and
elegance of her appearance, heighteiled as it was
by *lithe splendor of dress, nothing in the eyes of
the spectators added more effect, than the reflection
that all they itaw wee Irish. They looked upon
the Oucliess as the patruuess of the hist' arts,
NO the benefactress of the decayed artists, as set-
ting a truly patriotic and useful example to the
higher ranks in this country. She had the ad-
miration of all who witnessed the procession, and
the blessing and prayers of the poor who crowd
the liberties of our city, followed her to the Custle.
A proud day indeed it was for Ireland—all the rank,
beauty and fashion. of the country were attendant
on this national ceremony, and all dreamed in the
mattufacture nt their country. From the taste and
nationality of the dresses, the beauty of the
church, and the excellent order in which it was

good. management which directed the whole, re-
flected equal credit on the directors and the
