Dyott , sending a short notice to the Sla . r , which he had no doubt but the Editor would publish every Saturday , stating that all . Storssent to Dublin thould be regularly transmitted to those best entitled to tliem : n ths country parts , and who would make tho

      beit use of them . By this means no one would get too many at a time .

Clark ) h&d of £ endiiuj the Star to good men and true in his native ceunty , Sligo , that he had the hoi-our of proposing 240 of iis countrymen to their Association on that day fortnight . He hoped that tae CLariists of England would read what ho was then raying , and when they could that they would send their Stars hero to us in hundreds , as they did last year .

He had thought it would be a very good plan for the several lecturers throughont England to recommend their respective andiecces to forward their Stars as soon as possible after reading them—( hear , hear . ) The Irish people would all join you if they could bat get to know what yon were about ; all they want is the means of knowing it .

      joined in the procession , and continued to manifest their joy by repeated bursts of applause . Tho feeling that prevailed throu ^ hou : was altoi-eiber enthusiastic and unexpected .
