The annual meeting of the committee of the Sailors' Home was held on Saturday, in the board-room of the An unusually large congregation was' attracted, on Tuesday evening last, to St. John's Church, in this town, by the previous announcement that several converts would then renounce the errors of the Church of Rome, and en ter into communion with the Reformed Church of Eng land. Every part of the sacred edifice was felted, and large numbers, unable to obtain seats, were compelled to stand in the aisles and passages, both in the body of the church and in the galleries. The evening service having been concluded, the Rev. W. Francis Taylor, the incumbent, proceeded with the solemn ceremony of receiving the eight individuals, who had presented themselves for the •purpose, into, the bosom of the Church. Of these four were males,' and four females, of the humbler class of life, but. hearing high characters for respectability and intelligence.: In answer to the questions put to them, they all severally stated that they had voluntarily sought to be admitted into the Reformed Communion ; that they believed in the hooks of the Old and New Testament as received by the' Church of England, and that those books contained all• that was necessary to salvation. They abjured the Romish doctrine of Transubstantiation, as contrary to the teach ing of Holy Scripture; renounced the invocation of the Virgin Mary and the other saints as impious, and the worship of images as idolatrous; and repudiated the tem-, poral and spiritual power of the Pope over the British do- , minion', together with all the errors end superstitions of the Church of Rome. The reverend incumbent then preached an able and instructive sermon from the text—, Revelations. chap, xviii. v, 4—" And I heard another voice from Heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues :"—a text which he took to refer dig reek , to the Romish Church, and its corruptions ; . for the Apostle St. Paul had prophesied that ravening wolves would enter into the Church, and draw away the faith.: ful, even from the ranks of those whom he himself had ordained ; and St. Peter. whom the Romanists claimed as their first Pope, had said in the second chapter of his Se cond Epistle, that there should be false teachers who pri, vily should bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift. destruction, as there had been false prophets of old. He then explained the nature of the command cony, yed in the text, and expatiated at considerable length upon the corruptions which had gradually been engrafted on the Romish system by successive Popes and Councils, twelve new articles of faith having been added to the creed by the Council of Trent, including that of transubstantiation, and one by the reiening Pope, Pius IX.—the immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary—a doctrine which the late Bishop Milner declared to have been left doubtful by Scripture and undecided by the Church. .Ho dwelt. also upon the anathemas of Rome on all who rejected any te net established by the canons or councils of her church, and shewed the dangers of mental equivocation as taught by Liguori, and confirmed by the late D. Lingard, the historian. Then, referring to the converts who had that evening been admitted to communion with the Church of England, he stated that their change of faith had not taken place under the influence of momentary excitement or persuasion from others, but had been the result of months, and, in some cases, of years of conviction. He believed, therefore, that in them it. was not merely a change of name. but a chanee of heart; and that they were sincere in their professions ; and he loped they would steadfastly adhere to the Protestant faith which they had embrac . .d. The services did not coeclude till nearly half-past nine o'clock ; hut, throughout, they were listened to with profound attention, and seemed to make a shone impression upon the large congregation.

The registry books of the home now record the names of 16.254 men who have established their characters. Many have obtained certificates from their captains for seven or eight voyages. The numbers registered in 1851 were L 714. The operations of the deposit bank have been satisfactory. The balance on the Ist of January, 1851, amountedto £1.429 8.1., which has been . increased during the year by £794 Is. 3d.. making a balance of sailors' money in the bank, £2.224 93. 11d.

Some alterations in the present arrangements will be required when the home shall be opened for domestic purposes. The want of funds obliged the suspension of the works for a period ; but the successful result of the bazaar which was held in April, yielding a net sum of £5,000, has since enabled the committee to proceed, and it is now expected that in about two months all the interior work will be completed, so that the home way he inhabited as soon as the necessary DIED On the 18th October, in Africn, 4 the ito.kiggnn_ of fever_ nrpri board t choly accident happened at Llany - myne..h Three boy two of them brothers, were amusing themselves (in one of the lock offices on the canal) by firing off an old pistol. which they shot through the office window.

Two other girls, named Smith and Jordan, were found in the house, and were also taken into custody for being implicated in the rob bery.
