Yesterday a numerous and highly respectable Meeting took place at the City of London Titeetts, fur the purpose of considering the means of enabling seamen in the merchant service to have a greater facility of obtiiiiing religions instruction, while afloat in the discharge of their duties, than they have at present. . BENJAMIN SRAM', Esq. M.P. took the Chair, and explained in forcible terms the,,,pisrpose for which the Meeting w a s c onvene d. Ile cited one instance which hid reached him of the good effect of earnest religions instruction : this. occurred on !maid of one of his Majesty's ships iO the Mediter ranean, where, in consequence of the death of the chaplain, it private individual continued to give the scasuesi religious instruction, and the most admir able result% followed in the conduct and manners of the crew. The necessity of giving the most arn ple opportunities to seamen for the exercise of tell gift's wor.hip, was a subject eutitkd to the serious consideration of the Meeting. Mr. MARTEN rose to open the business of the day. The worthy Gentlernan alluded, in an elo quent MIMICS', to the necessity, considering the great responsibility both in the care of property and life, which attached to the duties of seamen, of giving them the best religions instruction of which their situation was susceptible. He read extracts from the letters of several nautical persons, pointing out the superior value and services of seamen int press.d with due religious notions, as compared with those of a different character, and the great importance which resulted from treating seamen in a different manner from that loose and careless way in which their habits were hellittfore looked at. A sailor was at one time treated " like a spaniel, when you meant to fawn on I —and at another like a bull-tag, when you wanted him to fight." He was. srlifom treated as he ought to be, like a Christina in whose mind we were bound to inculcate the prin. ciplcs or murals and religion. Beneficent instils,- tntions of every kind were nobly reared in England, but this desiderata's was wanted to fix the moral character of the British seaman. The Hon. Gen tleman concluded by moving—That for the par. pose of establishing a regular mode of Religious in struction for Commercial Seamen, a Satiety be formed, to he called The Port of London Society," which sl Id direct its attention to that object. This wits seconded by the Rev. Dr.RtreoN, who entered nt some tenglh into the nature end objects of the proposed Institution, and explained the happy e ftiro s w i nc h were likely to result from it. The Resolution was then put and carried. Joints Punk:l.l.. Esq. proposed, that for the ;tor pose of carrying the object of the Society into effect, a vessel should be provided on the Thames capable of holding bob or 700 persons, and that Divine Service should be performed there twice every Sun dae, and once besides iu the course of the week. The Rev. Mr. !ovum seconded this resolution, and supported the general object of the Society. The Rev. Mr. Hoax suggested that a few barges fitted up fur the reception of sailors, to hear ser vice, its different places, would be a better and more economical plan. Mr:MARTEN said, that the plan they had adopt ed of having one large vessel, would be the best and most economical. The vessel they had fixed upon was of 3MO tons burden, mid would not coat more than Lewd. The Resolution was then put mid agreed to. There were two other Resolvtiusis then proposed, Jeclarnig that the Society would extend its atten tion as well to the religions instruction availing and boys, as to their general welfare, and that in this object they disclaimed 01l sectarian feeling. The place appointed fur the instruction of the sailors would he open for the exertions of Clergymen of all religious . per,nasions. These were supported by SANUEL JIMMINGS. Esq. the Rev. Mr. Bowi.os, the Rev. Dr. Ctn. LITER. and the Rev. Mr. 11,111PUR. The Rev. GEORGE SMITH. of Penzance. may.. ed, that Mr. Marten be appointed Treasurer.—and he took that opportunity of expressing his warm ap probation of the object of the Meeting. This Resolution was put and curried. The rules lair the future government of the So ciety were then read and agreed to. After this, Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the Alerting soloist ord. A liberal subsciiption was entered into in the room. The cup and bells which so characteristically sur mount the Cl►iuere Bridge in St. James's Park, have, with the building itself, suffered so mucli the late hurricane, that it is to be hoped the whole will now be pulled down, and a simple arch, either of iron or stone, thrown over the Canal. It would not cost above one-tenth► of the expense of this fan tastic toy, which, with the Temple of Peace in the Green Park, the Gerard Fleet ma the Serpentine River, and the other concomitant follies of the - - day, as appears by the printed accounts, lightened the public pur.e upwards of 30,0011/.

MURDERS AT GREENWICH. i s 'esteeday another exasubsatiun took place before the Ma gistrates at Greenwich. Hussey hes for the present escaped the vigilance of the Polire. Mr. John Linton, cooper, has the care of the hong.. of Mr. Young, the late Greenwich Academy; he knew Chas. Hussey from his living with Mr. Steedbion, of No. 1, Vinod Itart•ter race, next door. Hussey need to come to the rime to get water, and frequently wool to enter into conversation with him. About a fortnight before Christmas last, Flossey in. formed him that he had left Mr. Stevenson; hr hrmight a kes, and requested kiwi (Mr 1) to all .w hint to deposit it its Isis house mail he got a titration, lied if he did not pi °cure inteshertly, he would remove it to his brother's ' at Peekhani. It was a leather trunk. While it 111114 in hishitente ht fee.. "tend, came and look oat change of limo and idler thinks. Hussey was were lively ill spirits both before and after the murders were committed. Before the mwrders were eon.. milted, Hassey said that he expeet•ii a sem of money left him shortly, hut slid not sly the animus, of it. About a week before the murders were committed. Hittite: came Mitt his house sail disused his shoes, and his pantaloons with pipe clay. He did not see him after that time until Sunday (the day after the murder) between three and rode o'clock in the afternoon. He tried the side door and could not get admittance, sad then came to the frost door ; be did set enter any apartment, but said that he wanted to go fn the privy. He tame nut of the pad its about a quarter of an hour, sad art by the fleet Ike murders had been thee discovered only a few hours. Homey was rather hstaxiested ; he asked him where be had haw, sad he said that he had dined that day with his washerwoman. He sent fir a ;sot of purser, and took a stapes's:a nut of his pocket to pay fur it. When he came into the Weise he bad a small bundle. sod he went to his Box with it, and left it there. He (witness) epithet° him about Site dreadful murder.; he replied. " it is a most eisateking affair," and turned the conversatioa by **yule, that be had promised to gn to his brother's, at Peckham, to dine; but he had - disappointed them, fur he went to the ' sign of the Ship and Last, a puhlic-honse at the hack of the Tiger's Head, with a man named honey, and they hail some egg.hot together. Hussey then left his honer, and went towards Peckham, saying, Be was going to his brother's ; be did not pre Heise, after that for four or five day", when be called, and during conversation, he bald that be bad no situation, and that he lied slept as usual at the Tiger's Head. lie then went to his box, marl having cleaned his shoes, he left the house. Hussey did not rail ethos him for more thou a fortnight after that; his (willies*'.) Wife let him in, and he brought a very large bundle into the bobs., and took it to the sworn where his box watt; hr remained there about awe 'M antes, and then left the house. About three wit bit ago, be came to his honor, and corded the hot, sod asked Mre. Lot ten if she knew •ny one who could CO. r the box to his wit's stint, at Deptford, Mrs. Goddard, of /flights's-6i Ids; Mts. Litton called him, nail asked him (shr witness) if he w mid carry it; he wool yes; he carded it, sod Heaney paid him Is. for it. About a fortnight before the nturter was CoMittittroi he was swing a cooper's hammer in thr kitchen, and missed it about three o'clock in the atirraison, sail never eiinld tied it afterwards. It was a hammer of that description which might have been used by Hassey to commit the niuniers. It was sharp for the purpose of riveting at one end, and a hammer face for dentist nails at the other. He informed the officers when they were searching his premises of having lust a hammer. He believed Hussey was at his house on the afternoon when hr lost his hammer. Magistrate- J' Did you ever see Hazehoo and Hussey to gather!' Witnesa—They had called at his bowie frequently, being servants out of place. Hazeltine used to sit in his apart mewls while Homey was cleaning himself and changing btu linen. He believed they were oearly always together. Mr. Twandaw, the landlord of the Tiger's Head, was isi terrstgair4 by the klagisirates, Colonel Foreman and Mr Smith. He stated that Homey had lodged at his house sweasimially foe nine weeks. Oa the Saturday night she murders were committed Hussey was at his house, to t h e i n d ite . roomi of odd Fellow', he being one of the order. He did not know what thee Hussey tweet into the lodge room, bet he was there at ten o'clock at night, whist the lodge closed. He believed that Howley did soot go oat of the house after that time; he could not lw certain; he was positive that he slept at his house that night. He got up next innenilig (danday) and had his breakfast at Isis house; be did not pay for it then ; he need a trifle at that ti me , ad shortly afte r paid all together that be owed.... There might be something different in Hisseey's behaviour after the murders, hot be never noticed it, as he was, above all others, the last IMO he should have suspected, from his general mildew's end simplicity of metiers. William Sparks, bricklayer (the peruse who was examined on suspicion of belay concerned some weeks ago), was again examined, as to his leariwlledgv of the connection between the Prianoer Haseltoti, and Hussey, bet mu evidence of any im portance was elicited from kiln: The Magistrate ordered the constable to bring forward the washerwoman whom Hussey Jibed with ion the Suaday, to be examined on a future day. The vessel, hi the river have bees searched, total no person answering Hnssey's description fouled. From no informa tion having been received from Maim, who set off on last Suiday morning into Dersetshire, it is coujectiaseal that he has received some else In his retreat, and has prueeedrd further in quest of him. On Tuesday week he was seen in London by many persons, and sonic think it probable that he his concealed himself in town. Prom Hussey being sorb a remarkable person, it is not likely lie ran long secrete himself ; he fiat an impediment iii his speech, is very fair, and pale-faced. Ile does not look to he more than 14 rut.. of age, and is most remarkable for having an extraordinary bilge hand add foot. His shoes (a pair of which he left at Mrs. Lotion'*) measlier between 13 and 14 Inches from heel to toe. No other examination will take place until Hussey is in custody. • POLICE. • • guattw-steumtv.. • FORGED HANK NOTES.
