There he became identified with the two great subjects which interested hid throughout his life, education and the Protestant cause, and was recognised as the head of the Protestant Dissenters in  the Irish capital. He was twice Moderator of the Supreme Court of the Irish Presbyterian Church. He was appointed one of the Commissioners of Poor Law Inquiry (Ireland), and drew up a plan of relief which met with the approbation of his fellow Commissioners. but which was not adopted by the Government. There was an agitation in Parliament for a change in the mode of application of the grant of money for the education of the poor in Ireland, and £30,000 was voted on 9 September, 1839. Subject to new conditions.' The money was placed at the disposal of the Lord Lieutenant (Lord Anglesey), and a Commission was appointed, 26 November 1831, to superintend its appropriation.

Groombridge, 1853)‑ Of these books it was, said in the House of Lords on, 7  March, 1853. that they " Were admitted upon all hands to be incomparable.

She was much interested in education, and opened a school in Dublin for children destined to be school teachers or governesses. She died at Parsonstown in 1852, and was buried there.

The last work  of her husband. was the writing of her memoir This was published after his death an  Appendix to his The Station dead Occupation of the Saints in their Final Glory (Nisbet)  to which book is prefixed 'a memoir of. James Carlile, of Dublin, by the Rev. J. E. Carlyle. In addition to the text books  for schools referred to above, he published many works on religious subjects.

 NOTE.‑The work of Dr. James Carlile in connexion with Irish National Education can he better understood if the Reports of the Royal Commissions of 1812, 1824 and 1825, and the Reports of the Committees of the House of Commons on that subject in 1828 and 1830 be consulted. Previously to 1831 there had been in Ireland. (1) denominational schools, which did not receive a Government grant, and (2) the Kildare Street. Association's schools (neutral), which did receive a grant. There were 1,620 of these latter schools (with 133,896 pupils). receiving a grant of 25,000,pounds  per annum. The Association required the Bible to be read in   their schools without note or comment. The  Roman Catholics objected to this,  (i.) because catechetical instruction  was excluded, (2) because children were allowed to for their own opinions upon the Sacred Text, and (3) because it was proved that to some extent the Kildare Street Association was not neutral, as it purported to be, but was closely allied with Protestant proselytising institutions. The grant to this Association was discontinued on the formation in 1831 of the new Board. The Board appointed all teachers, and had the general direction of ail Government schools in Ireland Under  the Board no Bible reading was compulsory, contrary to any parent's wish. but ministers of all. denominations were to have 'free access to the schools to give religious instruction to their own members, out, of school hours.

Agnes Knobly Irving, in  1820. Information as to Edward  Irving is given in his Lift, by 'Mrs. Oliphant, fourth edition. 1865; and his collected writings were edited by his nephew. Gavin Carlyle (1864). There is also an account of the Irving’s by J. D. Irving, 1907 (Aberdeen: The Rosemount Press).' Agnes Knobly Irving, whom Warrand Carlile married, was of a beautiful countenance, with dark eyes, dark hair, and a fair complexion‑a female likeness of her celebrated brother.

After a little delay they were cordially accepted, and he was the last missionary appointed by that Society. He was sent to Brownsville, a beautiful mountain station in the north‑west of the island, and there he laboured in the midst of a large negro population, and with much success, and greatly beloved by the people for thirty‑eight years, until his death in the autumn of 1881, in his eighty‑fifth year.
