The Irish clamors have, this year, amounted to 54, con-
taining 1,374; being an increase of 22 closes and 562
scholars over those of the preceding year. In considering
these several numbers, the committee are encouraged to hope
that not leas than 35,000 or 36,000 Roman Catholics have,
through the instrumentality of this Society, been receiving a
scrlptutal education during the last year.
Of the 678 day schools, during the last year,
315 were under the superintendence of clergymen of the
Established Church of Ireland ;
58 under that of ministers of other denominations ;
278 in connexion with noblemen, I.ttlic,, er gentlemen ;
and

27 bad no local patrons or visitors, in consequence of '1
their peculiar situation.
From these valuable and efficient assisiants the committee
continue to receive the most encouraging statements.
