'ln the present eventful state of Ireland, the Committee el l the Irish Soci e t y of London would call the attention of the Pliblie to the beneficial results of the Society's labours in that country. and would earnestly appeal for increased support, to carry out the objects which - it has in view ; and while they by llb means undervalue the efforts which are being made, whether by legislation er by private enterprise, to improve the temporal condition of Ireland, the Committee feel convinced, from much ex perience, that all the remedies proposed must prove unavailing, un less, at the same time, measares' - are taken to elevate the moral ebaracter of the Irish peasantry by means pf religious instruction. , The Irish Society labeure in the native districts, where up w ards of L OOO .OOO of the population speak the Irish language. There are now $OO teachers connected with it, who instrsct the Illative Irish in reading the Word of God. Since the commencement 1108,00 e individuals, chiefly adults, have thus been taught to read the `Scriptures. many of whom embraced the Protestant faith. One hundred and e i g ht S cr i pture ' readers are employe d , who read t he Irish Bib les in the cabins, or to groups of the peasantry at work in their fields, or by the roa I side. Seven Irish-sneaking clergyfnemere in connexion with the Society Who read the Liturgy, and preach the Gavel in the native language. Ten congregations of converts have be4n,xisised i np, or are now Ministered to through the instrumentality of the Society. Two of these are in the county of Galway, two in the county of Cork, and six in Ke rry. • Many Roman Catholics, not included in those distinct congrega 'ails, have. been brought, through the blessing of Almighty God linen the Seciety's - labours, to renounce the errors of Rome, and are now incorporated with old Protestant congregations. Some groups of converts who have been instructed by the Society ars asking for Irish clergymen to be located amongst them. ;11l various 'places crowds of Roman Catholics attend Protestant peen and school-hous e s, w h e r e an Iri s h- spea ki ng clergyman has "'men announced to preach. One clergythan states : In the Cathedral of I ?reached on Wednesday evening. The church was filled, the Roman Catholics sta n di ng ap t o t h e fhereeadiaB-desk, and outside the door* At D—, on Sunday night, , had we a place l a r ge eno ug h, we might have had many hun dreds of Romanists ; as it was, we had a goodly aumbtr, and those Who were obliged to stand outside the window occasionally requested that I would speak up, so as they might hear." A mother writes "I had a most interesting tour through the .C— Irish districts. 1 preached 20 sermons, in Irish, to over 2,000 in all. I may count that 1,000 were converts, 500 Romanies, and 500 old Protestants. One poor man, who was not hearing me, heard so much about the sermon from others, that he said he would ' come to hear the next sehmen, if the priest would roast him in the fire for it.' Many a Poor creature from the heart said, 'O, when will you come again sirr Alas I that we "hav'nt an'lrish ministry.' Such are some of the results of theSoeiety's proceedings ; but the Committee, would allude to one more, of - considerable importance at the present time, and that is, that whereveithe native Irish have been instructed by the Society, they have become loyal subjects of car Queen, and abstain from all connexion with the treasonable Practices and illegal associations which are so hostile to the peace and prosperity of the kingdom. The Committee have made diligent inquiries upon this subj tet, and the replies to their inquiries have been highly satisfactory. The following are extracts from one letter - out of upwards of twenty of the same character received by the Committee : t 1; affirm It as a fa c t that could not be contradicted, that out of ofth ho usands in Ireland connected with the Irish Society, that none L en l are connected with illegal ass oc i a ti ons , or with that dan; ass agitation now se formidable, and hostile to Ireland's Erltish interests.

More exalted than mere passion, it sears high above t ° ,_erY other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, ut More-engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its in><uence , er can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo -"PnY, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling pow er ef LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity With time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. 1 . 1 union does not take place, however, this passion, this ItZnr, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly % le r in - tke heart, which now darkens, as it before bright . all things upon earth.

The Norrisian Professor has given notice that the sub ject for the present year for the English prose essay is— " The internal evidence afforded by the historical hooks of the Old Testament that the s - veral writers of them were inspired by the Holy Ghost." The essay, with a sealed letter containing the name of the author, is to be sent, on or before the tenth day pre ceding the Sunday in Passion Week, 1849, to ono of the three stewards of Mr. Norris's Institution, who are, the Master of Trinity College, the Provost of King's College, and the Master of Caius CPUPge• Any opinion advanced in the essay of a candidate for this prize; contrary (in the estimation of the appointed judges) to those articles of the Church of England which relate to our Saviour's divinity at.d• the personality of the Holy/Spirit, is to disqualify such candidate.

R 8, 1848. [PRICE OD. • REMEDY FOR RAILWAY DEPRECIATION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta,—About ten days ago I had prepared a table showing the highest and, lowest prices of railway shares, from the boiling point of 1845 to the zero of 1848, and the depreciation in each case cons-queotly following. The table I proposed submitting for your approval, but the sudden alteration which took place at the time induced the . 'to withdraw it. If, however, • any of your readers, ok any other persons, suppose that the danger is past and gone, and that all they have now in pr ospec t is gradual but certain improve ment of their railway property, I would beg to warn such persons that the very root and essence of the mischief still exists in all its ruinous power. Ido not deny but that a great deal of harm has been done by that class of men who have been justly held up to public odium by yourself -and the journalists ; I mean the "Bears" of the Stock - Exchulge. This is a sys tem so iniquitous that the man who can put, it dowis :will deserve well of his country; but, after looking at the matter in all its " bearings," I confess I do not see any available remedy. If the public should cease to support the. present Stock Exchange, the " Bears" and " Bulls" would have one of their own, where they would not only worry and gore each other alternately, as at present, but inflict at least indirect injury upon the public outside. I apprehend, Sir, that it is the existing state of ;hings which furnishes .means to these ferocious gentlemen " for their cruel practices. If the ra pe een tidd ; a be e ma iid it is all but de,or,ifit were certain ereinade t , ha w t the line (midnot neveryield him a half per cent. But, to his astonishment, the directors of the said - scheme are pleased to mak a call of 51. per share on the 200 shares held by the sup posed party. He• does not respond to it; he is threatened with " proceedings ;" and, at length, the harpies of the law are let loose upon him. He has no alternative but to sell, at any price, his shares in the old and good line, to pay his call on the new and bad line—and hence depreciation necessarily follows. But, Sir, this is not all. It may so happen that the old line itself is entangled with the new concern. It has, perhaps, leaned it at threefold its value ; or, it may have subscribed a large portion of its required capital; and thus the young monster, in place of "feeding" the pareht trunk, is a mere blood , sucker. Sir, unless I am greatly mistaken, the . pith of the evil is here. If shareholders expect any permanent improvement, they must compel their directors to knock these monsters on the head; the blow must not only be vigorous, but instantaneous. No as surances of an "intention" to " wind up" must he ac cepted ; the thing must be done. If the best and soundest schemes in the country are at discounts of from 20 to 50 per cent., what rate awaits the genera tion of lines now. struggling for existence ? Share holders, you must either kill them, or they will kill you.—l am, Sir, yours, &c., Nov. 7, 1848. ANTI-DISCOUNT. NORTHERN COUNTIES UNION RAILWAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE S7IIV. Six,—Knowing your anxiety to see the existing railway liabilities reduCed, I trust on that account you will insert the following letter in your next pub lication. I am desirous to call the attention of the share holders of the Northern Counties Union Railway to the absolute necessity of having the c oncern b roug h t to within as small a compass as possible. It appears the directors, in conjunction with those of the Stock ton and Darlington Railway, have caused a survey to be made for a line between Darlington and Bar nard Castle, and from thence on to the Tebay line. It seems to me perfect madness entertaining for one moment the idea of such a project; in the first place, where is the .money to come from to make the line; in the next, where is there traffic to pay 1 .per tent on the outlay; it is monstrous that the funds of the shareholders should be thus wasted. I wonder what authority the direc tors have for taking such a step. According to a re solution passed at last meeting, it was resolved that no fresh contracts or agreements should be entered into without the sanction of the proprietors. From last report the funds amounted to 76,7771.—that 20,0001. would cover the liabilities, and that the powers of the Act would expire in 1853. Now, Sir, I would strongly recommend every shareholder, great or small, to take steps (in order, at once, to limit the powers of the directors) similar to those of the Liver pool, Manchester, and Newcastle Junction, and return, say three-fourths of the money in hand,.or about 15s. to 20s. per share—to limit the number of the directors to six, or appoint new ones in their room— to remove the office (say) to Darlington, and reduce the secretary's salary from 5001. to 1501. a year ; for it is quite clear his duties cannot occupy him more than two or three hours a day, In my opinion it would be useless applying for a dissolution Act, and a mere waste of money —there fore, let the expenses be reduced to the utmost pos sible limit—allow the Act to expire, and then close the accounts , finally. I would strongly recommend the above . suggestions to the careful consideration of the shareholders, and those Whose . views coincide with them. Address, stating number of shares, amount paid, &c., to A. M. Z., post-office, Middlesborough, Yorkshire. I enclose my card 'and address for your private satisfaction. A. M. Z. Nov. 2, 1848. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sirc,—Only three years ago any proposed line of railway whose imaginary profits were supposed to-be ten per cent., was offered 'and ea ger ly swa ll owe d up by the short-sighted public and capitalists, greedy to obtain an investment for their money that would realise so large a return of interest. the time has arrived when more than that greatly desires return can actually be acquired, and yet it is mostextraordi nary, it is now completely overlooked, either from mistrust or ignorance. In your paper you have already offered some valuable suggestions as to the large amount of interest that will accrue from the purchasein Most of the great Worki trunk lines, at the present low prices. Without being at all in terested in any railway, I have taken the trouble to look into the return of some of those in the course of completion, and I now send you the first r esu lt o f my investigation, which,'-if you think proper to publish, may be of service to your readers, by showing tl?em the golden o pportunity the y are losing. The fi ction which previously they were so. anxious to gain has now become a reality. GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. In the half -yearly report, the directors state, that the line will not be completed until early in the spring of 1850, so that previous to the opening, three half-years' interest, at the rate of five per cent., will continue to accrue on all - calls paid up,'due 31st De cember, 1848; 30th June, and 31st December, 1849; and payable one month thereafter respectively; after which, of course, such dividend as the line will be able to pay, Under the new optional arrangement of dividing the shares, whereby the 251. shares are divisible into A's, or deferred, having' 121. 10s. all paid up, and bearing interest at four per cent., and B's 41. 10s. paid, with V. more still to pay, guaranteed a prefer ence interest and dividend- of six per cent., it follows that the A's 121. 10s., - paid at a discount of 10/., or 21. 10s. per share, will yield to the purchaser 20 per cent. certain on the purchase money, from the three half-yearly interest instalments due 31st December, 1848; 30th June and 31st December, 1849; that is, 30 per cent. of the purchase:money will accrue in the shape of interest in 13 months, from and after 31st December. (This date is taken because share's pur chased previously will not•be settled for until early in December.) Moreover, if the line whcri opened only yields a dividend of four per cent., the purchaser will continue to receive ten per cent,. oh the purchase moneyl but if the line yield; 'way property of th e 'country were in a sound condi tion, the up-and-down game of the "Bulls" and " Bears" would be at an end. There might be, and there would be, fluctuations from certain legitimate causes, but the mad panic -work would cease. And now, Sir, let me in a few words state what I conceive to be the great desideratum. It is a simple, but I believe a sure, remedy for the evil. I mean, Sir, the official abandonment of all the schemes of 1846 and 1847 which -hare either not yet com menced operations, or have not proceeded to any great extent. Shareholders in these. lines may rely upon it that should they have ever paid up twenty ' per cent. upon their shares, the first loss will be th e l eas t. E very additional call paid upon such stock is so much good money thrown away. If these parties have any spare cash left, let them turn it to some other account, rather than pur sue delusive schemes, which will never pay working charges. The pressure of theie new and ruinous under takings upon the holders of shares in old companies is perhaps not generally understood. I will suppose that the holder of twenty shares in the London and North• Western, Great Western, or any other leading line, has had the misfortune to take up '2OO shares in some wretched scheme at the fag-end of the land. He has paid one or two 'calls upon the 200 shares ; they are perfectly worthless ; the works are sus- TIIE ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLUB.

This box, which is 4i inches long by 3i; broad, and which is valued for 100 guineas, is certainly one of the chastest and most perfect spoeimens of wo: kmanship which we have beheld. On the top is a fin,: representation of the dreadful calamiLy which is sough: to be commemorated by the testimonial, taken from the drawing of .that dire event which was recently published by Mr. H. Melling, the hon. secretary of the club, and which has been so much admired. In a small semicircular niche'above the design is placed the crest of the club, and the whole is surrounded by a deep, massive, and well-worked margin, in alto relief, of scroll and foliated trellis work. The sides are sectionally of the ogee shape, chased and highly ornamented. On the front side of the box is the arms of Mr. Littledale; the back 'being free from any design. On the bottom, which is protected by a massive border, on which it: is intended to slide round a table, when so used, there is a rich engraving of a " sailing prow," or ancient vessel, approaching land, with a neat villa and wooded country in the back ground. On the interior of the lid is the following appropriate in- scription : ( " Presented by the members of the Royal Mersey Yacht Club to their Commodore, Thomas Littledale, Esq., as a memorial of their admiration of the humanity he displayed on board his yacht, the Queen of the Ocean, in saving, under circumstances of great difficulty, the lives of thirty• two of the crew and passengers belonging to the emigrant ship Ocean Monarch, of Boston, which - was destroyed by fire in the bay of Abergele, on Thura. day, the 24th of August, 1848." The arrangements for the comfort and satisfaction of the guests, who were about seventy in number, were of the most excellent kind. The cuisine and wines were supplied by that prince of caterers, Mr. Lynn of the Waterloo, and, on this ioccasion, it is but justice to say that he fully sustained his already well-earned name. The chair was occupied by the Earl of Sefton, on whose right sat the Commodore Thomas Littledale, Esq. ; E. Cardwell, Esq., M.P. ; Admiral Grenfell ; Captain Froes ' • Captain Lisb oa ; an d B ramley Moore, Esq. ; on his left, W. Brown. Esq., M.P. ; Sir Thomas Birch, M.P. ; and Captain Ward. The vice-chairs were ably filled by Mr. Fletcher, the cup-bearer of the club, and Mr. Melling, the Hon. Sec. We also observed amongst the company Messrs. Harold, Littledale, A.

Yesterday the 54th anniversary of the triumph of trial by jury, as exemplified in the acquittal of Thomas Hardy, John Horne Tooke, John 'fhelwall, J. Joyce, T. Holcroft, and the other members of the Corresponding Society, who, in 1794, were tried for high treason, was celebrated at Radley's Hotel, Black. friars. Nearly 100 gentlemen sat down to dinner, Mr. Parry, the barrister, presiding, supported by Mr. C. Lushington, M.P., Mr. J. Williams, M.P., and other gentlemen who have taken a prominent part in the progress of reform being present. Thecloth having been removed, the Chairman gave " The Sovereignty of the People," which he believed to be the best security for the throne and the people. The toast was drunk with enthusiastic applause. The next toast was "The Queen," and the Chairman in proposing it said that the sentiment of the majority of the radical reformers of the country was to unite the most extensive political reforms with the maintenance of monarchy.—(Hear.) As far as it was possible for the sovereign to perform the duties of her station to the benefit of all classes, and within the pale of the constitution, her present Majesty had done so. The toast was given with three times three and up standing. Mr. C. LIISHINGTON, M.P., having returned thanks for the drinking of his health, proceeded to give the toast of the evening, " Trial by Jury." He ex pressed his gratification at seeing so large a company assembled to do honour to the acquittal of those pa triots who had jeopardised their lives in the cause of truth and liberty, and in opposing the machinations of a tyrannical Ministry, a corrupt Parliament, and a despotic Sovereign—for George 111., though not a despot by law, was by his opinions and acts as much a despot as he dared to be; and had he been permitted to govern the nation as he wished, he would have re duced the people of this country to the condition of Russian serfs. Witness his arbitrary treatment of America, his causeless wars with France, his op pression of Ireland —especially of the Catholic population of that country—and his fierce exercise of the prerogative. A man who in those days hissed at the King on his road to the House of Lords was punished by the pillory and five years' imprisonment. Looking at past events our feelings could be only those of exultation and con , gratulation that the men who ventured their lives escaped unscathed--thanks to the jury who pro nounced them not guilty of crime—their only offence being that they were the advocates of an extension of the suffrage and the shortening of the duration of Parliaments. But for that 'verdict we might at this time be sutkring from triumphant tyranny. It was remarkable that notwithstanding the defeat of the Ministry in the acquittal of these men, they ventured to renew their attack on the freedom of the people, and that Parliament conspired to sanction them. In 1796 Lord Granville brought in his Bill for the better security of the King's person, which provided that no public assembly should come together to consider any public measure except in the presence of a magistrate, which magistrate was empowered to dis miss such assembly, and to pronounce arbitrarily as to what he might consider to be sedition, or what in the language of the present day was "open and advised speaking."—(Hear, and a laugh.) Another Bill to prevent seditious meetings was afterwards passed, a clause being inserted by the then scoundrelly House of Commons, providing that if at a meeting of fifty persons twelve remained after the magistrate desired them to retire, they were to suffer death without th 6 benefit of c l ergy. In rejoicing that the times had passed when such scenes were enacted, let them do justice to the honoured names of those who, when th e task was more d angerous than now, had stood forward as the champions of popular rights, and had opposed themselves to the power of a corrupt Court and a tyranniCal Monarch by pronouncing a verdict of " Not guilty." It was with great pleasure that he proposed the oast, " Trial by Jury, the great bulwark of British liberty." The toast was drunk with much cheering. The CHAIRMAN then gave, " The memory of T. Hardy, J. Horne Tooke, J. Thelwall, J. A. Bonny, Stewart Kyd, R. Hodgson, T. Holcroft, J. Joyce, T. Wardle, M. Moore, J. Baxter, and J. Ritchter " which, contrary t o cus t om , was a l so d runk with loud cheers. " The memory of the Scottish Martyrs—. Thomas Muir, J. Gerrald, M. M argarot, F yshe Pal mer, and W.

" The Radical party in the House of Commons, and the healths of Messrs. Lushington and Williams," were subsequently given and acknowledged, and after the customary compliment to the chairman the meet ing separated.
