SYLVAN FETE,
The Proprietor's aim will be directed to enable the Subscribers,
Nobility, Gentry and the Public, to witness those RUSTIC SPORT~

cers, Friar Tuck, Maid Mariau, Pipe and Tabor, &c., will be ex-

co-existent with Robin Hood and His Merry Men, when in Sherwood
Forest they drew " The cloth-yard shaft," and the welkin rang with
" the shouts of the foresters bold."

For a noble marksman and forester good."

IRISH GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.
DWILIN TO GALWAY.

The Dublin and Galway Bill having been lost for this session, the
Provisional Committee have to acquaint the scrip-holders and the
public that, at a meeting of the Board, held this day, it has been re-
solved to proceed to procure an Act in the next session of Parlia-
ment, for making the railway between Dublin and Galway, the suc-
cess of which appears to be insured by the decision of the House of
Commons in favour of the merits of this line, and the strong expres-
sions of a like tendency elicited in the debates in the House of Lords.
The line will have the strenuous support of the great landed pro-
prietors generally, and of other interests throughout the west of Ire-
land, as well as the cordial co-operation of the Great Southern and
Western Railway Company.
The interests of the present scrip-holders will be carefully protected
in the arrangements to be made, full particulars of which will be
published in a few days.
