' A Meeting of the Members and Friends of the above Society was held on Saturday at the City of London Tavern; for the purpose of receiving the Annual Report; Lard flor.Lim D :lie Chair. The report, as usual, detailed_ the proceedings of the Society far the past year. f • Sir. 117.,tt.xsi, the Treasurer, addressed We meeting at Cph sicte.rable length; in the course of which he stated that several instances had occurred recently of (lergymen of the Estahli*7 edChurell'having reused to bury infants that had been baptis ed by Disenting Ministers. In the case of Trimp Wilke, it had been decided that all children who had been baptised in the name of the Trinity were entitled to the rites of Chris. tia.n - inirial; although, as the law at present stood, the:chil dren of Baptists were exempted, as they are not accustomed. to baptise their children until they are of age. They had also re ceived letters on the, sithject of baptismal registers. The'Ma.-s -ter of the Rolls had latterly refused to admit as evidende an extract from the DizSe.r.trs' IlaPtismal .fer,ister kept at Dr. I,Porary 'in Redertis3- . 4tr,:et, Af r h:g. could n0t..0.n.., shier 'that registry as a-publi-,: . recoitt, shirs'S 'of the parish Church, but merely as Privati Memoranda. • Other gentlethen adth-dssekl die Meeting to the same effect; after which thanks were Niotea to the Noble Chairman, and the Meeting broke up. SOCIETY FOR IMPROVING THE CONDITION OF • THE``IR - I•II PEASANTRY. This Institution net on Saturday last at the Horticultural Society's rooms, to receive the report of the Committee. The business commen ced by the - Secretary. 'reading a letter from Sir Herbert Taylor, containing the information that tile Duke:of York, who was to have taken the chair, was detained at his office by public business whichadmitted of no delay Sir JOICN DoYLE was then unanimously voted the Chair man on this occasion. Mr. MIiIEL t., the Secretary, read the report, which stated that the exertions of the Committee had been attended with greater success than they could-have , expected, and had, so far' es - they had extended, materially benefited the condition of the peasantry. The means 'of the Society to effect this object had been materially increased by the generosity of the City of Lon. don Committee, who, having terminated their labours on be half of the distressed Irish, had transferred the whole of the fund, which remained in their bands to this institution. The London Committee had accompanied their liberal donation.hy recommending to the attention of the Committee two subjects ; as of the greatest importance to the amelioration of the condi. tion of the Irish peasantry. The one was the establishment of agricultural schools, and the other the extension of schools for the purpose of teaching the female peasantry useful and do- Mestic employments. The advantages of the latter bad. also been strongly enforced by Lady O'Brien,.whose exertions in behalf of the poor of that county (Clare) in which she hied, entitled her to the admiration and implicit confidence of the Society. To both subjects the Committee had directed their earnest consideration. A large proportion of the funds of the Society had been employed in furnishing small loans (under the management of fill local associations) to the peasantry, by which they were enabled to purchase materials and tools, for the want of which their industry had often hitherto remained unexerted, and their distresses had increased to a painful and.alarining extent. The most beneficial results had been found to follow this measure. 'The poor were enabled in. al most all instances to procure employment as soon as the means of working were aftb r d e d t o th em , and their circumstances were improved immediately by this plan alone. The Coin. mittee had the.greatest satisraction in adding, that the sums leg; had always been repaid witb the utmost punctuality by instalments, or in such other way as had been stipulated at the time of borrowing, and concluded they had a right to-infer, that habits of honesty and regularity required only to be excited, not to tie implanted, among the Irish peasantry.—(Applause.) The attention of the Committee had been sedulously directed to the diffusion of habits of cleanliness in the dwellings of...the peasantry, and by means of premiums and other methods of encouragement they had succeeded to a great extent. The.ma nufacture of coarse flannel had also been encouraged, as well as the distribution of bee.hives and tile growth of fiax, from the [atter:of which they anticipated a source of employment would be afforded to the poor, easily procured, and highly advanta geou.s.

He congratulated the Society upon the good•,•which had beewalready done by, their efforts in removing ins -small ' degree that which was agreed to be the great cause of distress in Ireland—the want of employment for a reduTn'ant popula tion. They had done, perhaps; more in exciting the gratitude of Irishmen towards the people of England by convincing-.them that their. welfare was an object of deep interest here. The motion was seconded by, Mr. Stirling, and carried. - Mr.J. SMITH complimented Mr. Wellesly upon. his.zsalous exertions, to which this Society, as well as the London-Com mittee, had been. mainly indebted - for their success. Hemanyed that ill..

Lord-CAnnERRY moved that a meeting of the Society be held on the first Tuesday in every month in the city of London. He expressed tlie . sense be entertained of the generosity and benevolence of the ;London Committee, which he hoped would nave the effect of rousing the feelings of Irishmen, and awaken ing them- from that scandalous apathy with which they. had regarded their countrymen's sufferings. - Colonel TRENCH seconded the-motion, and concurred with the noble mover. had supplied 'that deracieney, as far as he was .
