IRISH EVANGELICAL SOCIETY.

Last evening the Islington Auxiliary Branch
of this Association held its annual meeting in Claremont chapel,
Pentonville; THOS. Witaox, Esq., Treasurer, in the Chair.
The Cuainta ow, in opening the business of the meeting,
adverted generally to the progress made by the Parent Society
the past year, and though through its instrumentality it was
obvious that a great deal agood had been done, yet he regret.
ted that the work was yet only in embryo. The persons em-
ployed in this expensive moral waste had to contend with long '
cherished opinions and deep-rooted prejudices the extreme
ignorance of the people. together with the disinclination of the
Roman Catholic priesthood to the admission of the Sacred
Scriptures had proved almost insurmountable barriers to the
march of intellect: that it was, however, slowly and surely
advancing in that unhappy country could not now be denied,
and he trusted that it would speedily bear down all opposition.
The Rev. Jour Vocxxve (one of the Secretaries) then
read the report. It alluded in strong terms to the past and pre-
' sent condition of Ireland, which it represented, notwithstend-
, ing the efrorts of various rdigioits societies, to be generally im-
moral and unenligthened. To erect something like. an amelio-
ration of this deplorable state of society, the Parent Institution
had already established eighteen stations in various parts of the
country, comprehending respectively a tract of twenty or
thirty miles, which were under the care of missionaries of ap-
proved talent ; the principal means they resorted to were the
establishment of Sunday and Weekday schools, where peo-
ple of all ages enjoyed the advantage of moral and rat-
Onus instruction, anti in addition to these there were several
other itinerant teachers, who went about to all the places
of public resort, and preached the gospel in the venacular
tongue, and from their acquaintance with the idioms of the
Irish- language had been enabled to render the most important
henelits to those whom they addressed. The demand, however,
was so greatly superior to the Society's means, that their exer-
tions were necessarily limited, and they saw, with regret, an
extensireiiiaral waste whollymnprervided ,tlw, which might be
supplied with teachers, could they dooble the mtinher of sta.
done. The receipts of the Islington Auxiliary Branch, during
• the last year, amounted to 601. as., of which sSkhati helm paid
to the Parent Society.
The Rev. a Si ewaar, of lanblin, Chaplain to thi Pareo
Institution, moved the adoption of the Report, and took a very
comprehensive view of the state of society in Ireland. The
Society, in order to provide teachers of ability, had founded
an evademy, in which there were now twelve students,
three of whom bad forMerly belonged to the Roman Catholic
Seminary of Maynnoth, but who had abjured Popery, merely
from u conscientious conviction of the errors with which it

abounds. They saw that the participation of the Sacramen
literally was contrary to reason and to revealed religion
they felt that receiving absolution or remission of sine from a
frail mortal like themselves was en innovation on the preroga-
tive of the Deity. It was on these principles that the Society
wished to make converts, anti on these alone. 'they disclaimed
any thing like an exclusive mode of worship; they did notwk
the establishment of a particular creed, anti in proof of that he
begged leeve to state, that there were at timt time in the Acre..
decoy Toting men who adhered to the Church of England forms,
Calvinists, and Independents. It was needless to dwell upon
the advantages the country would reap from civilization ; that
was already manifested in the North of Ireland, once the scene
of anarchy, rebellion, and bloodshed, 110 W a happy and well.
organized community. If the people of England wished to ex.
tend the blessings of peace to their brethren in that distracted
country—if they were anxious to confer on them any real or
permanent benefit—if they wished to destroy the.hydre-beaded
monster that had so long stalked over those fertiloplitine, poi.
soning every spring of social happitiese,-he would say, " Evan.
gslizc Ireland.
JOSEPH MANE, Esq. seconded the motion.
When the CHAIRMAN was about to put it to the vote.
A (41;NTLEstar: rose in front of the platform, and said—
Mr. Chairman, though not a subscriber, still as an Irish Pro.
town', perhaps X may -bepermined to offer one or two observe.
tions an the report just read. It is, I conceives not consentane
ous with the general feeling Of those who are the best informed
on the subject. There is one passage contained in it which is a
complete, unqualified, -and ttncalled-for libel on the Irish
nation.
The CHAIRMAN here interposed, and observed that the ob.
jeotor was out of order in obtruding his opinions, not being a
subscriber i the business of the meeting must go on, and any
objections might be answered afterwards.
The question was then pot and carried.
The Rev. Was. ALAN EVANSON deprecated the system
which latterly seemed to be adopted by the enemies of Ireland's
best interests, who intruded on meetings of this sort merely to
vent their spleen. To say the least of it, the means were tin.
courteous and the time chosen. The gentleman had talked
of libels--.but who (lid the libel emanate from ?—was it not
from the Roman priesthood themselves, who, acting under the
instruction of an apostolle letter or hull, bad publicly de-
nouticed the Scriptures, and from thoaltars hall commanded
the people not to read them on pain of excommunication
(Hear, hear I)
The Objector said that'the past of the report which he dis-
sented from was that which act forth Ireland as in a general
state of immorality : this was not the fact. it's •
rank blas-
A person in the crowd cried out, " No, nnt
