meeting held yesterday (Mr. Henry Bright in the choir)
the report, which had been prepared by Mr. unmet, the
secretary, stated that the inmates of the home were in.
creasing year by year, and that at no distant date a sup-
plementary home would be !legionary. In DC the num-
ber of able and ordinary seamen accommodated was 7;241 ;
apnrootices, SST—total, 7,928. The number of those who
had resided more than once (in some cases many timesl in
the home, and bad returned during the past twelve
months, was 2,544, a large increase over previous years.
The daily average of inmates was 239. The report stated
that a large number of men were still enticed off by low
lodging-house keepers. During the year 128 shipwrecked
seamen, who had sought the shelter of the home, had been
taken care of, and sent to their friends or reshipped. Tho
Board of Trade savings bank, and the temporary deposit
bank, which wen managed in the home, both showed
satisfactory results for the year. During the year ..17
Bibles and Testaments, in various languages, had bees
sold to the inmates. The current account with boarders
(of when money tho home authorities take care) showed
'that the total deposits of money during the year had
been 21,515 f. ; the withdrawals, 24,4441. ; and the remit-
