Mtestows ro SEAMEN.—The annual meeting of
this society was held yesterday afternoon at Wilful's-
roome, under the presidency of the Archbishop of Armagh.
Amongst those present were the Earl of Shrewsbury,
Admiral Buckle. Admiral Goldsmith, the Bishop of Ripon.
the Bishop of Cork, and several clergymen and gentlemen
interested in the welfare of sailors. It appeared from the
financial statement that the receipts for the year, in.
eluding a balance from 1865 of 1,50e1. 11'e. Sd., were
7,6811. Bs. 10d., and that the expenditure bad been 7,5291.
12.. 10d., a balance of 1,7501. lie. Sd. being carried for-
ward to next year. The report stated that the work of the
society had been steadily going forward during the past
year, and the income showed an upward tendency which
was most encouraging. The society, with its 37 chaplains,
had sione a vast amount of good among seamen, and with
a view to still further inereming its usefulness the
committee had appointed a number of associated
chaplains, whose duty would be to give informetion
as to the progress of the mission at the principal ports. At
Liverpool, Cardiff, Swansea, North Shields, and other na-
tions, the work was going on favourably, and at some of
those ports special arrangements had been made to do
away with the evils of the crimp system. The report on
the motion of the Bishop of Ripon was unanimously
adopted. Mr. Christopher Bushell gave an interesting
account of the Mersey branch of the mission. Ha stated
that the crimps in that town had been completely baffled
by the society and the co-operation given by the local
authorities, and as the influence of boarding-130mm
affected seamen to • grmt extent, steps had been taken to
provide Scripture readers to visit those plams. Addressee
in support of the objects of the society, and appealing for
increased support, were proposed and spoken to by the
Bishop of Cork and ethos, and the proceedings terminated.
RITUALISM AT KILBURN.—At a public meet-
ing of the inhabitants of Kilburn, held on Wednesday
evening, at the Amembly•roome, St. John's-wood, the fol-
lowing resolutions were passed with acclamation, bell a
dozen hands only being held up in opposition :-1. " That
this meeting feels deeply aggrieved and alarmed that the
services as now conducted at St. Mary's Church, Kilburn,
should have been so long tolerated, those services embracing
doctrine and practices which are essentially Popish and
idolatrous." 2. " That the present crisis in the church of
England is one of such imminent danger, that it is the
duty of all English protestenta to unite in defence of our
national church from the Romaine in its pale ; and that
it is the essential duty of all in thin neighbourhood to
strain every effort until the services in St. alery's are again
conducted in accordance with the principles of the Re-
formation, and the usage of the church of England for the
three centuries it has been iu existence." A deputation
was formed to wait upon the Bishop of London with a
copy of the foregoing resolutions and to urge up n his
lordship to nominate a curate in charge who will act
honestly as a clergyman of the church of England, rather
than as a priest of the church of Rome.
