The Rev. Mr. Moore, secretary, read the annual report,
from which it appeared that the parent society com-
menced its operations in 1849, at which period its income
amounted to .£4,674, and it gradually increased until in
1856, it reached £39,489, exclusive of many private gifts,
by E(which churches, schools, and parsonages for the
clergy had been built. The funds of the Liverpool aux-
iliary society had increased from -£214 in 1850, to £66t
in 1856, eiclusive of a donation of £250, .from an un-
known benefactor, through the Rev.. Dr. MsbTeile. Dur-
ing .the last.year, however, the income of the societrhad

The society were resolved not to get into debt, and 11th felt
convinced that that prudence on their part would ensure
to them enlarged support from their friends, who wished
to see wisdom the guide in every proceeding. They had
reduced the number of ministers employed in the mission
from 59 in 1853 to 48. -The schools had increased from
112 to 124, and the scholars from 6,000 to 6,900, besides a
number of licensed schools ; and 15 new churches had
been erected. -There were 382 lay preachers.
The 'Rev. Dr. Taylor seconded the motion, and in doing
so complained that the English government so much used
the Irish Church for political purposes. Those of its
clergy who stood up to battle with Popery were pever
promoted, while those who spoke softly and looked upon
the Church of Rome as an erring sister, were invariably
looked.upon with favour.
The Rev. Mr. Collis supported the motion. He described
the great progress of the mission in Dublin and Fernley.
and the manner in which it was sought to be arrested
through the instrumentality of the Redemptorist Fathers.
A collection was then made, after which
The Rev. Mr. Dalton moved the second resolution,
which was to the effect that' encouraged by the progress
hitherto made, the meeting were sensible that increased
funds were necessary to carry on missionary work among
the. Roman Catholics in Ireland, andcordially desired the
extention of the resources of the society. He stated that
in the-county of Roscommon the people were now well
disposed to listen to the mission though in the first
instance almost fanatically opposed to it,
The Rev. Dr. MiNeile seconded the resolution, and in
doing so recommended that the ladies of Liverpool should
form a society among themselves in support .of the
mission. _ _

The resolution was unanimously adopted, and the
neeting was brought to a close by the singing qf the
