WEST BRIDGE AND FATHER DALY'S CHAPEL, GALWAY.- The foregoing view comprehends the fine stone bridge over the picturesque river Corrib, in Galway town, and, on the left, a rather venerable looking ecclesiastical edifice, popularly called "Father Daly's Chapel." The Rev. Peter Daly- a very highly gifted priest, who had a decided turn for parctical patriotism, if not politics-created quite a stir in Anglo-Irish relations forty years ago, when, with John Orrell Lever, and other public-spirited capitalists, he succeeded in establishing a line of first class ocean steamers between Galway and New York.
