In the present eventful state of Ireland, the Committee of
the Irish. Soch:ty of London would call the attention of the
public 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
nu means underva:ue the efforts which are being made, whether
by legislation or 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, measures aro taken to elevate the moral
Character of the Irish peasantry by means of religions instraction.
The Irish Society labours in the native districts, where upwards of
3,000,000 of the population speak the Irish language.
There are now SOO teachers connected with it, who instrnet the
native Irish in reading the Word of God. Since the commencement
300,004 individuals, chiefly adults, have thus been taught to read the
Scriptures, many of whom embraced the Protestant faith.
One hundred and eight Scripture readers are employed, who read
Alin Irish Bibles in the cabins, or to groups of the peasantry at work
111 their fields, or by the real side.
Seven Irish-sneaking clergymen are in counexlen with the Society
Who read the Liturgy; and preach the Gospel in the-native language.
Ten congregations if converts have been raised up, 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 Kerry.
Many Roman Catholics, not included in those distinct congrega-
tions, have been brought, through the blessing of Almighty God
Upon the Society's labours, to renounce the errors of Rome, and are
new incorporated with old Protestant congregations.
Some groups of converts who have been instructed by the Society
are asking for Irish clergymen to be located amongst them.
In various places crowds of Roman Catholics attend Protestant
Charches and School-houses, where an Irish-speaking clergyman has
been announced to preach. One clergyman states :
" In the Cathedral of L-- I ?reached on Wednesday evening.
The church was tilled, the Roman Catholics standing ep to the
readtag-desk, and outside the doors. At D--, on Sunday night,
there, had we a place large enough, we might have had many hun-
dreds of Romanists ; as it was, we had a goodly somber, and those
Who were obliged ta stand outside the window occasionally requested
that I would speak up, so as they might hear."

Another writes
:
"I had a most interesting tour through the C— Irish districts.
I preached 20 sermons, in Irish, to over 2,006 in all. I may count
that 1,000 were converts, 500 Rommists, and 500 old Protestants.
One poor man, who was not hearing me, heard so much about the
Sermon from others, that he said lie would ' come to hear the next
sermon, if the priest would roast him in the fire for it.' Many a
Poor creature from the heart said, 0, when will yon come again
? Alas ! that we hav'nt an Irish ministry.'"
Such are some of the results of the Society's proceedings ; but the
committee would allude to one more, of considerable importance at
the present time, and that is, that wherever the native Irish have
been instructed by the Society, they have become loyal subjects of
oar 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 subject,and
the replies to their inquiries have been highly satisfactory. The
followhig are extracts from one letter out of upwards of twenty of
the same character received by the Committee:—
" I affirm it as a fact that could" not be contradicted, that out of
the thousands in Ireland connected with the Irish Society, that none
of them are connected with Illegal associations, er with that dan-
gerous agitation now so formidable, and hostile to Ireland's
boat interests. Our teachers an 1 pups are almost entirely friendly
to British connexion ; they have felt Rome's spiritual tyranny, and
ttm3' believe, if the union with Great Britain were dissolve],
that both spiritual and political 'tyranny would become intolerable."
And there are not a fe.re instances of members of Ribbon or other
Illegal associations having been converted• through the instrutnen-
tality of the Soaioty, and now employed in teaching their country-
Dieu to read the Word of God. _ . .

An indvidual who lately visited a congregation of converts in one
Of the wildest districts of the west, remarks :
' When I entered the cabin, the whole congregation rose, seeing
a stranger with a Bible in his hand, and gave me a hearty wel-
come, crying out' Cead Mille Failthe," Cead Mille Failthe."lhey
were orderly in their conduct, and deeply attentive to the Word of
God. I was especially pleased with the detheanour of two indivi-
duals, and net a little grat;fied at afterwards hearing their story.
One had been a celebrated and lawless pugilist, the other the leader
of a Ribbon Lodge, both of them daring characters in the neigh-
bourhood ; but through the mercy of God they met with the teachers
of the Irish Society, they were instructed in the Scriptures, and
now, from their respectable appearance and general conduct, as
well from the change which has taken place, they might be described
in the language of inspiration, Sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed,
and la their right mind.' Ono of them is the owner of the cabin
Where the congregation was assembled—the other, the Scripture
Reader employed in the district."
To extend these benefits, under the blessing of God, amongst
Use Irish-speaking part of the population the present appeal is made.
It is aoknewledged by all parties that something must be done for
Ireland ; and without limiting the measures which may be devised
by the benevolent, the Committee of the Irish Society of London
Weald respectfully suggest that religious instruction should have a
prominent place amongst them.
It has succeeded in the Protestant districts of the north of Ireland,
Which are as free from crime, disloyalty, and pauperism as any parts
"England, and where industry and order flourish to a remarkable
degree. It has succeeded, under the blessing of the Most High, in
those native districts and localities where the inhabitants have been
instructed by the teachers of the Irish Society, in which crime, sedi-
tion, and animosity have given place to peace, to loyalty, and goodwill.
And why should it not succeed upon a greatly extended scale ? It
is a measure which the Committee believe God will honour—that
God will surely bless. There is a promise which they would desire
to remember, and in humble reliance upon which they carry on the
Work committed to their charge —" My w0rd...... shall not return
unto me void ; but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it
shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."
That " word" when blessed by God the Spirit, will teach even the
Most deluded of the Irish peasants to " submit to every ordinance of
Man for the Lord's sake."
It will inculcate industrious habits—" if any would not work,
neither should he eat."
It will produce a respect for life and property, and thus give an
OPPortunity for the introduction of capital, and the employment of
the people at home, enabling them to support themselves, instead of
being a burden to others.
It will be the • lire remedy for treason and rebellion—" Fear God
—honour the king—and meddle not with them that aro given to
change."
Above all, it will teach them the way of eternal salvation,
through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.—John ill. 16, 17.—
Acts iv. 12.
The inhabitants of England, Wales, the Highlands of Scotland,
and of the distant colonies, all hear, in their own tongue, the won-
derful works of God; and the Committee make this appeal to the
Christian and benevolent public, that they may be enabled to send
to the 3,1100,000 of the native Irish, religious instruction in that lan-
-Baage which they can understand.

Welty of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstoae, of the Herbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in hawing COlll-
pletely restored the hair en bar head, after using itabout four months,
and the whole of her hair is much stranger aad more luxuriant than
'ever was before the baldness appeared.

Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony tithe virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure is answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w
drops ou the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coining away with the coisib, mate it strong, aid
