was an abundance of lobsters to be found along the western
coast of Ireland, are now making an experiment to try if the
taking of them would repay the necessary expenses. They
have at present a fast 'sailing smack in the bay of Killala
engaged in this service. They give to fishermen five shillings
for every dozen lobsters, and find plenty of persons to en-
gage in the fishery for such a rate of remuneration.
rHE FRIENDS AND MEMBERS OF THE BRITISH

THE JEWS.—A meeting was held yesterday evening at the
Freemasons' Tavern, Queen-street. The chair was taken by
John Dean Paul, Esq. Mr. Henderson (the SecretarT) read
last year's report, from which it appeared that the Society,
at present confining its exertions to the Jews of this country,
bad employed well qualified persons to deliver lectures espe-
cially addressed to the Jews in the different towns and cities
of this kingdom. One missionary had been profitably lis-
tened to by no less than 750 persons in this metropolis;
while at Birmingham, Bristol, and Manchester, no less than
1,500 Jews had had the blessings of the Gospel expounded to
them. Applications had been made to this Society from a
similar Society in America, asking their co-operation for the
conversion of the Jews in that country, where there were not
less than 60,000 individuals of that persuasion. The funds
r of the Society were derived chiefly from donations and sub-
scriptions ' • but a considerable sum had been coVected at the
lectures. The amount received last year was 1,.1071. 3s. 2d.,
while the expenses amounted to 8091. 19s. 3d.,, leaving a
balance in hand of 2971. 3s. Ild.
