who was greeted with warm applause. lie briefly state.:
the objxt of the 'meting in opi.hitig the business of the
day.
The Report of the Committee was then read, and pre-
sented a gratifying detail of the labours of the Society in
promoting the interests of the seamen, and much good
appeals to have been ellected by the establisinmot of the
loa ling Chapel, moored off Wappiug-stairs. The Re.
port concluded by calling lot additional
Earl RocKsAv Age, in inuring that the Report be re-
ceived anti distributed undu the direction (at the Com-
mittee, expressed his entire concurrence its the objects of
the Society, which he considered of a highly beneficent
and itnporiant nature, and one which peculiarly called
for public approbation and support, as the interests of the
navy and of seamen should never be lost sight of. The
noble Lord concluded a 1)00* speech, by observing, that
an institution like the one he was advocating, and which
already, by its example, hail done ru touch good, should
never want his curd tal support —(Applause.)
The Hev. Mr. Dueas seconded the motion. lie en•
tertained the saute opittion as tile noble Lord who spoke
last of the importance of the Socit ly, and said, that it
often struck him tai a sailor, whose life had been spent
in the service of his country, appeared or feel awkward
and embarrassed, when, on coining ashore, he was sur-
ru 1111 l led by petsons who viewed him with curiosity, if
trot with wonder. This had been obviated in the esta-
blishment of the FloatingCliapel, where numbers would
willingly go, as they could hear the (jospel preached to
them within the nooden walls which had defended his
conutry. Alter 10/111e general remarks, the reverend
gentleman einicluded amidst a thunder of applause, by
seconding the motion, which was then put from the
chair, and carried unanimously.
The Rev. U. Ito KDBR, and other gentlemen, severally
addressed the meeting.in moving and seconding a variety
of motions of thanks to the °dicers of the Society.

in expressing his ackaiowl.dgments, advocated the in-
terests of the Society in an aki;t: speech, and the nice:lay
