The Committee have gteat satisfaction in communicating to
the Subscribers that, during the past year the Society has been
instrumental. (by the assistance rendered to the Rev. 'William
Gurney), in effectuating the repair of the Free Chapel in Vest-
street; Seven Dials, which has been taken on a new lease, and
re-opened by the Rev. Mr. Gurney, on the old plan ,of free
Seats for the Poor, arid Schools for the Instruction of their
Children ; thereby securing to that extremely poor and populous
neighbourhood a continuance of those important means of
moral improvement which have hitherto been mostbeneficial,
and:which; t Tor the persevering and ..praiseworthy. exertions
of thellov. Mr.. Gurney, and the pecuniary aid affintled by the
Society and by individuals, must have been 'altogether discori.
tinned at the period when the lease of the. Chapel expired.
The Committee have likewise had infinite pleasure in the
success of a measure calculated. for. the benefit and instruction
of the Poor Irishin London. Whilst the Society have kept in
viewthe principles of their own Institution, not undertaking
either the continued experice or • superintendence of any Este-
bliiihmem,. they have been able to initiate, and. for a tune
to al plan for the instruction of the Irish in their own
language. It appears: to be most: gratefully; received, and
in the bandit of those. Societies. who particularly attend to
the interests' of the Irish, may fairly he said to promise the
most satisfactorily results.
Tho Col' iin mit tee: have received back the money ailvanoild to
the London l'rovident institution (or Sevin gs Bank);. and they
desire to acknowledge the conduct of that Institution with the
greatest, gratitude, as peculiarly enabling:. this Society to pro-
mote the.greatest good, and to act in strict conformity to its
Institution. The temporary advances, of money or. aid in the
origin of thet.inost beneficial Societies may frequently be of the
most important service in instances in which the whole expence
or subsequentauperintendance of this Society would be utterly
impracticable.

Susetctom or MunnEa.—On Monday morn-
ing, as CoHinson, a waterman, was rowing• down
in Chelsea-reach, he observed something, in the
water like a htuntut person, and on close limpet.
flan, he found it was the body of a female about
the middle age., and respectably dressed. She
had no potkets on, and her Legs were tied toge-
ther with a cord, to wblch a heavy stone was at-
tached, for the purpose of keeping the bad,
sank ; there were several bruises upon the face
and arms ; the body did- not appear to have been
long in the water=; he had it carried to the Red-
house at Battersea, and information was sent to
Kingston, to Mr. Jemmett, the coroner, to hold
an Inquest on it.
