Mr. Da rg an— The requisition for the meeting to consider of the best means of expressing the national sense of gratitude to Mr. Dargan isnow nearly complete, and we understand the meeting will probably be held in the second week of July. We have seen the document, and it is indeed a curious one. Forty peers, fifty Members of the House of Commons, the mayors and civic authorities oi all the boroughs, the primate and heads of the Church, the Roman Catholic prelates, the chiefs ot the learned pro - fessions, bankers,.merchants, traders, and artizans, have all testified in favour of this man, whom the nation delighteth to honour. Still influenced by the noble sentiments which have guided him since he took his great work in hand, Mr, Dargan, we understand, has announced his firm dsterminath n not to sully his triumph by the acceptance of any tribute of pecuniary value to himself, however small. —Dublin Evening 31 ail.
