FOR PRC.MOTING RELIGION AMONG SEAMEN'.
Yesterday a public meeting of the friends of this
Society was held in Freemasons' II 11, which was most
respectably attended. At melt e o'clock the chair was
taken by James Stephens, Esq. Mager in Chancery,
who was greeted with warm applause. lie briefly slated
the object of like meeting in opening the business of the
day.
The Report of the Committee was then read, and pre-
seined a gratifying detail of the labours of the Sosiely
in
promoting the unerests of the seamen, aml much good
appears to hare (wen discoed I.y the establishment of the
1' boating Chart,moored off IVapping-stairs. The Re-
port concluded by calling fur additional aid.
Earl ROCKSAVAG e, its moving that the Report be re-
ceived and thstrihmed under the direction of the C -
mittee.expressed his mute concurrence in the olliicts of
the Society, which he-considered of a highly beneficent
and important nature, and one which peculiarly called
lOr public approbation and support, as the interests of the
navy and of seamen should never be lost sight of. The
Amble Lord concluded a Intel speech, by ohm:nip& that
an insti tttt ion like the one he wasadvocating, and which
already, by its example, had dune so much good, should
never want his cordial support —(Applause.)
The Rev. Mr. Dimas seconded lire motion. Ile en-
tertained the same opinion as the noble Lord who spoke
last of the importance of the Society, and said, that it
of co struck hint-that a sailor, whose life had been spent
in the service of his country, appeared to feel awkward
and embarrassed, when, on coming ashore, lie was MlL-
.rounded by 'tenons who viewed him with curiosity, if
not with wonder. This had been obviated in the ega-
blishmeut of the Floating Chapel, where 'numbers would
willingly go. as they could hear the Gospel preached to
them within the wooden walls which had defended his
country. Alter some general remarks, the reverend
geutleman coiscluded amidst a thunder of applause, by
seconding the minims, which was then put from the
chair, and carried unanimously.
The Rev. G. Bo RDSR, and other gentlemen, severally
addressed the meeting, in moving and seconding a variety
of motions of thanks to the officers of the Society.
Thanks were also voted to the worthy Cnairman, who,
in expressing his acknowledgments, advocated the in-
!wrests of the Society in an able speech, and the meeting

which was seen in the offing, landed from 70 to 80
tubs of gia and brandy on Snettisham Beach, when
part of the crew of the Preventive boat, upon that
station, seised the same, and also the boat; but the
smugglers, being assisted from the shore, succeeded
in regaining part of the goods, and also the boat.—
In the scuffle, two of the smugglers were wounded
(it is supposed dangerously) when they made off,
leaving the boat's crew in possession of 22 tubs of
gin, nine tubs of brandy, and two tubs of tobacco,
which were securely lodged in his ljesty's ware-
house here on the tidlowing day, though strongly
opposed by the party on shore, consisting of nearly
100 persons, some armed with bludgeons, and others
with fowlin6-pieees (one of which was taken by the
officers), attended by from 20 to 30 carts and horse,,,
to take away the goods, bad they not been intcr-
