Church, 14,697 were children of Protestant Dissenters,
and 44,638 were Roman Catholic pupils. There was a
total increase of 20,153 scholars over the number in
1846-14.947 of which increase were Roman Catholics
alone. The total receipts of the society (including the
diocesan branches anal the general soci,ty's income)
amounted to 40,4101. Bt. 6id., being 1,208/. 14s. less
than the income in 1846. The funds raised in 1847 :in
aid of the society in Ireland, by the London Hibernian
Society. were ReciApts fur the general account,
4,121/. I Is. Bd.; receipts in answer to the special appeal
.fur the relief of the distressed 'i,eachers, 3,1241. Bs. 10(f.,
making an increase, as compared with the year 1846, in
the sum remitted from London to Ireland for the pur-
poses of the schools of 2,7491. S. The meeting having
been addressed by Lord Teignrcoutb, the Lord Bishop

tions in support of the society were adopted. The t fficers
