CONVERSION OF CATHoLICs.-At meeting

for Irish Missions TO Roman Catholics. Rev.
Mr.. Blckersteth made the following statements
= Between thirty and forty thousand people
have within these four years abandoned the
idolatry of Romanism, and made an open and
bold profession of their conversion to the truth
Of the gospel, and who are nov living in the
praise and glory of God. In one district in the
Yves, of Ireland alone, in union where this
movement commenced, and where, between four
and five years ago, there we're not more than
five or six Numbered converts, there are now
between FIVE and six thousand. In the Society's
schools there are between FIVE and six thousand
children regularly attending and receiving in,
struction in Protestant truth.
sin the Western part Of Galway, the Bishop
has confirmed no fever than one thousand nine
hundred and torty-eight converts fom Roman
ism. In the same district where, at the com.
mencement Of the movement, there we're only
two protestant clergymen, there are now eigh.
teen Eight new churches have been erected
where crowded congregations assemble every
Sabbath to hear the gospel of Christ; many ad
ditional schools have been but, in which thou
sand of children, the chlldre of Roman Cath
olic parents, ale taught from week to week God
