In the present eventful state of Ireland, the Committee of
Inch Society of London would call the attention of the
PION •te the beneilclai 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
ko means undervalue the efforts which are being made, whether
by legislation or by private enterprise, to improve the temporal
candition of Ireland, the Committee feel convinced, from much ex-
perience, that all the remedies proposed must prove unavailing, an-
leas. at the same time,- measures are taken to elevate the moral
abaracter of the Irish peasantry by means of religions instruction.
The Irish Society labours in the native districts, where upwards of
.600.000 of the population speak the Irish language.
There are now *OO teachers connected with it, who instruct the
satire Irish in reading the Word of God. Since the commencement
0 0 Individuals, chiefly adults, have thus been taught to read Usk
Scriptures, many of whom emeraced the Protestant faith.
One hundred and eight Scripture readers aro employed, who read
the Irish Bibles in the cabins, or to groups of
.the peasantry al work

eob dsany Roman Catholics, not indicted in those distinct congrega-
.. have been brought, through the blessi of Almighty God
*Pon the Society's labours, to renounce the errors of Rome, and are
aver incorporated with old Protestant congregations.
Some groups of converts who have been instructed by the Society
areln asking for Irish clergymen to be located amongst them.
various places crowds of Roman Catholics attend Protestant
anarches and school-houses, where an Irish-speaking clergyman has
been announced to preach. One clergyman states :-

church was filled, the Roman Catholics standing up to the
eadlag-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 nomantets ; as it was, we had a goodly number, and those
who were obliged to stand outside the window occasionally requested
that I would speak up, so as they might hear."
Another writes
:
"I had a most interesting tour throiteh the C— Irish districts.
I preached 20 sermons, in Irish, to over 2,000 in all. I may count
that 1,000 were converts, 500 Rom mists, and 500 old Protestants.
One poor man, who was sot hearing me, heard so much about the
sermon from others, that he said he would come to hear the next
Sennett, if the priest would roast him in the fire for it.' Many a
Poor creature from the heart said, 'O, when will yon come again
Sir 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 tke native Irish have
been instructed by the Society, they have become loyal subjects of
o;ir 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 n '
th, have made diligent inquiries upon this subj ect, and
fati_enea to their inquiries have been highly satisfactory. The
