We submit to you our report for the first quarter of the abov branch, and it gives us great pleasure in doing so, for we can say without fear of contradiction that no Society or branch of Society ha« ever been stared under more favorable circumstances, or ever met with greater success. , , The name of the Society leads us back at once to Ireland, ana might lead one to suppose that the Society was only for members taking their origin from that fair isle ; but it is not the case, and we are happy to report that we have members representing many otfter countries. Our task of auditing the accounts has been extremely light, owing to the nble and correct and careful manner in which our Secretary (Bro. O'Connor) has kept all the accounts of the Society. _ < We here subjoin our Statement showing the finanoial position ot Branch for the present quarter. Receipts.
