" In the Cathed;ral of L— I -areached on Wednesday evening.
The church was filled, the Roman Catholics standing op to the
reading-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 'ltomanists ; as it wits, we had a goodly number, and those
_wbo Mare obliged to stand outside the window occasionally requested
that I would speak up, so as they might hear."
Another Writes : .'
" I had a most interting tour through the C— Irish districts.
I preached 20 sermons, an Irish, to over 2,000 in all. I may count
that 1,000 were converts, 500 Romanists, 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
sermon, •if the 'priest would roast him in the fire for it.' Many a
Poor creatuye from the heart said, ' 0, when will yon come again
air ? Alas I that we hav'nt an Irish ministry.'"
Such itee some of the results of the Society's proceedings ; but the
rimt tee would allude to one more, of considerable importance at
'. e 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 subj set, and
the replies to their inquiries have been highly satisfactory. The
follOdrig are extracts from one letter out of upwards of twenty of
Gataante character received by the Committee:—
~' Ti . affirm it as a fact that could not be contradicted, that out of
gat thousands In Ireland connected with the Irish Society, that none
Iothen are connected with illegal associations, or with that dan-
roux agitation now se formidable, and hostile to Ireland's
t interests. Our teachers and pupils are almost entirely friendly
t British connexion ; they have felt Rome's spiritual tyranny, and
hey believe, if the union with Great Britain were dissolved,
Xhat both spiritual and political'tyranny would become intolerable."
. And there are not a few instauces of members of Ribbon or other
• illegal associations having been converted through the instrumen-
' tat*, of. the Society, and now employed in teaching their country-
non 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
4 stranger with a Bible in his hand, and gave me a hearty wel-
come, crying out ` Cead Mine Failthe," Cead Mille Failthe.' They
Were orderly in their conduct, and deeply attentive to the Word of
God. • I was especially pleased with the demeanour of two indivi-
,,uualar and not a little grat:fled at afterwards hearing their story.
One ijad been a celebrated and lawless pugilist, the other the leader
Of a Ribbon rodeo, 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 in their right mind.' One of them is the owner of the cabin
wberm the congregation was assembled—the other, the Scripture
.t.,
'eftdiat employed in the district."
To extend these benefits, under the blessing of God, amongst
the IfiSli-speaking part of the population the present appeal is made.
It is acknowledged by all parties that something ntust 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 saggest that religious instruction should have a
prominent plaoe amongst them.
It has succeeded in the Protestant districts of the north of Ireland,
'which are as free front crime, disloyalty, and pauperism as any parts
of 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 tope ice, to loyalty, and goodwill.
And why should it not succeed upon a greatly extended scale ? It
is a rfshasure which the Committee believe God will honour—that
God will surely bless. There is a prom' se which they would desire
to remember, and In humble rellanoe upon which they carry on the
'workeenamitted to their charge--" My w0rd......5ha1l not retnrn
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 cat."
It will produce a respect for life and property, and thus give an
oPPortunlty for the introduction of capital, andt heempl employment

the pOople at home, enabling them to support themselves,
being a burden to others.
