" We observe with pleasure the increasing de-
sire manifested by friends to obtain a guarded and
useful education for their *children. The Report:.
on the Schools under the notice of this Meeting
indicate the religious care and good order prevail-
ing in them, and have yielded us great s.itisf3c
lion. The iMprovement of the understanding,
and the communication of that knowledge by which
it may be more extensively prepared for the ser-
vice of Him to whom wt must all render our ac-
count, are ditties not to he neglected. We desire,
however, to impress upon all, whether parents,
or those to, whom they intrust their tender otl-
spring, the supreme importance of inculcating the
first of duties—the love and fear of God.

A wAtchful parent will at no tinte he more

they are passing.from the age
,to which we have
just adyerted to the.sneceeding stage of life. The
situations in whiCh they,are then placed, and the
companions with ‘rhom they associate, may 104%
a decided influence on their future character. We
Would; therefore, encourage. both parents an,t
masters not, to relax at this critical period, t,ither
in care or counsel, or in proper restraint temper-

instructive, it is, to behold-such as, by. the purity
of their lives, by the meekness of their spirits„
and by the benevolence of their characters, ate
adorning their profession ! This is tr duty which
is enjoined by the highest antheritY.--Matth. v.
1G ; and we earnestly press upon all to consider,
whether their moderation, their self.denial, their
habits of life, are such as become the Christian
" Our solicituthf has at tl;is time beeit a'ivaken-
ed for our young men employed as travellers in
business. The exposure of these to the tempta-
tions to' Which they are olten unavoidably
je(:t.6l, •b;4 tended to dr4w aside some trust that
that purity of bawl and 10114711 t, that
strict morality, which our Christian principles re-
quire. We worildsiibmit to the set ions considera-
tion wt their parents and employers; the extreme
danger of sending forth into such service any
Young persons whose religious principles ate not
fixed, nor their habits formed; :MO tee Would en.
coinage friends iu different places where thus):
in this line of employment may traecl,rto continue
and extend that kilnd of hospitable notice whiali -
has been already manifested. The situation of
some of our young friends in other oceupithma
may deprive than of the advantage of virtuous
and instructive associates ; these we hope
-will not be oveslooked by those %u whoni they arz
known.

'' We lament that reproach Should haye,been
hi-wig-lit on our society, by the tuilure of any of
our members iit, discharging their just debts.
We- consider it to, be• the duty of all, hut es-
pecially of every person under pecuniary difficul-
ties, to inspect narrowly into the state of their
affairs ; and this we conceive might often prevt nt.
such an issue. Let all -friends he careful to live; •
within their incomes, retrenching, if nceeslary,
their expenees ; and we des:re that it liuty be their d-s
unifOrm endeavour to 'conduct their business itt
such a way as may snhject them to the least risk
or danger, For those who; possessing integrity,
yet, front the pressure nt the tiuita,-are, with ho-
nest and upright stutiggling under
many .difficulties, we feel near avatpathy. Let
these be encouraged they will not tail, we trust,
if they seek it, to obtain the kind advice of their
friend's. Let it be their enybest eoneeln, under
these trials, to hold fast ,their confidence in our
all-Wise and gracious Helper ; a likewise their
love to their tirethren. This love, we believe,. is.
peculiarly endangered, whenever the mind is dis
turhed by the perplexing cares raising 'tom em-
barrassed cirennistenees.

The amount Of suifertngs' reported this year,
occasioned .by claims for tithes; . and tlther.de.
mantis of an ecclesiastical nature, with a few for
military purposes, is uptvards 15,0001. Our
brethren of all the yearly meetings on the Ame-
rican Continent have again given, proofs of their
love, by written communications. The interest-
ing t.voi k of Indiaq civillation still occupies their
attention. In some of the tribes, the improve-
ments which, :notwithstanding the lateitcointno-
tions, have been, gradually going, fOrword, are
truly encouraging. In others, those who are con.
cerned in this docid Work' hove protnibly'atreath-
renewed their eNertions where the ravages of atik
mid desolated many of the settleMents. The per-
sceer,ing labours of friends in Virginia and some
other parts, to procure the freedom of mar y tii
groes illegally as well as unjustly held in sht‘ei
have in several instances been crowned with sue-,
cess ; and it is very gratifying to observe, that the
rights of this injured people ate still dear to our
American brethren; We hope, that in this coon,.
try friends
,will continue to feel a deep interest, in
the welfare of the African race, and not dismiss

A S'TATEMENT
Of the N fore and Extent of the 'llisturbences which Mayne

bon adopted by- the Government of that Country in con-
reeeienee thereof.e-Ordered by the Hulse of Cuunnons

•
To the Right Hon. Lord Viscount Sidmonth.
Dublin Castle, sth .Tune, 181C.'
!SI Lord---1 have bail the honour of receiving your Lord-
ship's letter of the 27th fin' of April, enclosing tin Address
from the House of Commons to his Royal Highness the Prince
iteget't, prayieg that his Royal Highnees will he graciously
pie:teed to et feet that there be laid before the House a state-
p.,,lkt of the nature anal Citron, of the dieturbances which
have recently prevailed in Ireland, and of the measui re whieo
hive been adopte.l by the Government of that Country in
coneetetence thereof; and I proceed to obey the commands.
which your Lordship has signified to tee hit that letter, that 1
eirible his Royal Highness to comply with the Address
te• !wise of Conimons.
Though I have, as your Lordship is well aware, apprized
you front time to time of such events cooneeted with the in-.
'erne! interests of Ireland as have been most worthy of no-
tice, mid of the measures Which t have adopted with a view
to restore and maintain the public peace, it may be setiefitc-
tory that I should (instead of referring your Lordship to tire
detail of toy separate letters) embody the suittance of them
in this general dispatch.
It is not, I prietinte, wished that I should extend the state-
anent, winch is reerfieetl from nie beyond the period at which
I assumed the administration of the affairs of this cottutry;
and I Alan, therefore, only shortly and generally refer to
events whieh occurred dining the Government of my ',retie-
ceeeor, or to the meesuree to which he had recourse.
The Insurrection Act eves passed by the legislate' c its tire
veer 1807; it wai not enforced no any occasion Miring the
three veers far which it was at that tints emicted, anti the state
of It ei tad was considered to be site.' in the year 1810, as not
to render necessary the continuance of this act, and indeed to
nitwit of its repeal a very short' period before that to which
its duration was limited by law.
fit the early part, however, of January,lBll, in censeenence
of the numerous (twinges committed in thtecontities Of 'Tippe-
rary, Waterford, Kilkenny, and Linieriela, by bodies of men
who aesent bled ill arms by night, atiminietered unlawful iiaths,
prescribed laws respecting the payment of rents :mil tithe*,
plundered several houses of arms, in station, instances at
tempted, and in some einamitted, murder; itavai considered
expeolieut to issue a warrent for a special commission, to he
. held in, the counties before-mentioned, and in the cities of
Watereird, Kilkenny, anti Limerick, for the trial of such
of the offenders as had been apprehended. From the evie
*hence adduced at the special commission, it appeared that
matte of the ontrag'es to which I have referred were commit-
ted by two conibinationi, very widely extended anteing the
lower order of the Roman Catholic population, whieltaistneed
theetante of earaVills and Shanavests, respectively, and be-
ta%ven which a violent, animosity ettbsisted,Olt; Cause of which
Was not very satisfactorily ttecenoted for. As feuds of the
sainiekind, not growing out of religious differences, occaeion•
ally exist ',thatch ~elilointtu the extent to which this appears
to biter prevailed), I biles inserted ite the Appendix to this
dispatch a Tontine of the evidence which was adduced nu ore
of the I i i4:s, from which sonic information nsay be collected
will; respect to the. origin and object of the centhinatiou a by.
wkkln'i he peace of the conntry was at that time disturbed.
lii the eeente of Tipperary nine pursuits were tried.: two
for Intlrdvv, aid seven for attempts to murder ; bee were
tried for .rubbery of arms ; and twenty-two Withered add tried ,
under the arts which generally bear the name of the Riot and
Whiteboy Acts, for assuming the name °Mar:teats, rend ap-
pearing in arms; six were sentenced to death, twenty-seven
to transportation, whipping, and imprisonment, aud three
acquitter!.
In Waterford twelre• persons were tried : seven for attempts
to murder, one fur stealing arms, and four for burelery and
robbery : they were all found guilty, and sentenced to death.
It seal not thought necessary to proceed to Limerick in cue
eution of the corninissien ; and there were on trials.of
portanee in Kifkentir.
Notwithstanding, however, the number of convictions in
the counties of Tipperary and Waterford at the Special Com-
setiseion, and the severe examples which were made*, they do
not appear even in think! cutintite to have produced any
lasting effect, or to have materially checked the bad spirit
which prevailed in them.
lit the early part et tete, end &ring the whole of that
year, many daring offences mainet the public peace- were eitm-
*flitted in these and in other comities, particularly Waite; find,
Westmeath, itoiconinion, and the KilPes County, the nature
of which sufficiently pretreat !het illegal etetibivatioes, nod the
same systematic vielenee and disorder against which the spe-
cial eeminiiision of 1811 had been directed, still existed.
The offences Monist the public peace, committed, in the -
rountiett which were the eetde of disturbance, partook nil the
same general character ; reports weie constalltlY reeein,l
of
attacks oil dweltiogl'houseS for the purpose of procuring arms,.
and the freenetice sit these attacks, and the (men and daring,
rune her itt which they were made, were sulficiene proofs sit,
the' desire which trenerally prevailed onongse those concerned
ie 11,10,11i41iCe2 to collect large quantities of arise, and'
these. as the Of Itri/i,eCtOlOg their ulterior objects.
with itrt'er prospect of etweess. !Several inatitneesueettrred,
in which Ili, houses of reepectabie individuals were attacked,
Seem ill Ihe 'lan day, hi' large lineies of armed meat ; and
others, in which the miliiery, acting nailer tha directions of.
ruegistrates, met with considerable eeeitdieitee. It isaeeirthy_
of remark, that iii tit° mealy enceeseThl ettacks which were
tootle eipoti leto.,ei with the view 'of depriving the peoprietore
of their aria, it rawly occurred that any other species of
pee .vrty ems inoleeted by the assailants.
The orineiti,s) ohject,, of heetility, or rather the principal
sufferers on account, of their iiladcquate means iif defence,.
%tele those persons who, un the explridiatt of leases, had taken,
• ',malt feints at a higher rent then the late occupiers haul of-
feted: ,tint a!1 those who were suspected of a disposition to
give inforwation to Nl:white:ate* naturist the disturber) of the
peace, or to hear testimony against them in a Court oflnetice,
sit the.eeent of their apprehension end trial. In some. coon-
ties, particularly its Westmeath and ltoscommon, the most
barbaratte penishments were fretptentle itifficted upou the
pet-outs cif thMe who had thus rendered thansalt es übnoxieus,
awl upon the persons of their relatives (1).
Frion the gen4al terror which these proceedings occa-
sioned, it became almost impossitale to proeure satisfactory'
eettlence ragai t the platy. It frequently happened that the
stiffererkfrom so haws sorb atrocities as I ha, allotted to, when Vi-
sited by a oangiatrate, would depose only generall44o the
fact's of their having been perpetrated, and, not denying their
knowledge of the offenders, would vet steadily refuse to
chic-
close their fumes, or describe their pewits, from the fear of
future
.addUinrial injury to themselves or their relatives.—
tvett where the parties offending were deposed against and
apprehended, there was frequently the gteateet difficulty in
,fin e!iiig their Fonvicticin, fries the intimidation of witnesses,
sod in some cases of jurors.
I fear few instances can he found of Tate in the Counties
.whiett 1 have mentioned, in which it has. been possible for
frerovr, having gieeet evideoce.iii favour of the Crown, en
rare asst connected with the distorhatiee of the peace, to re-
