anxious to press their claims Before the case was
entered into, however Mr. Palmer proposed to the

without ceaeug all the remainder of the day, and far
into the night Notwithstanding the incemency of
the Weater the different bodies began to assemble in
strong force about II oclock-the military at Astor

the storm and unable to bold up their heads in
the face of it. Despite al Inconvenience this pro-
cesson was the largest one entirely Irish, Whlcn ever

follow her msgnanimous example. The Young Friends
of Irelsnd dined at the Apollo Rooms, and the 9th
