SAILORS' HOME AND DESTITUTE SAILORS' ASYLUM.
—The tir:nual meeting of these institutions was held on
Saturday, at the Hanover square Rooms. Admiral W.
Bowles, C. 8., M. P., presided, support, d by the Bishop of
Norwich, the Right Hon. Lord Radstock, Captain Ct.up-
man, R.N., Captain Harcourt, It N., the lion. Captain
Maule, R.N., the Rv. J. C. Gribble, the minister of the
new church of St. Pad, Loudon Docks; en, Rev. W.
Holderriesse, the minister of the Thames Floating
Chapel; the Rev. James Ralph, and other influential
noblemen and gentlemen. The Rev. J. C. 6:ibtile,
read the report for the past year. Tnis document showed
a total sum for the nest yesr, including annual subscrip-
tions (4561. 18s.), balance at last audit (6881. 14s.
and various contributions from local associations, of
7,0761. 19s. Id. The expenditure leaves a balance in the
hands of the bankers of 6711. 10s. The Bishop of Nor-
wich, in rising to wove the adoption of the report which
had been just real, said he besought the friends or these
institutions to persevere in their good w,,rk, tor though
they were working in a path cornpargtively obscure,
still they had received the encouragement of succors
attendant upon their efforts; and the eye of God was still
watching over their pious and philanthropic labours.
He concluded by moving the resolution, which having
been briefly seconded by Lord Radstock, was carried
unanimously. Other appropriate resolutions were then
agreed to, and a vote of thanks to Admiral B iwles was
in like manner carried by acclamation, after which the
meeting separated.
UNSTAMPED PUULICATIONS.—At the meeting of
the Church of England Sunday school Institute, it was
stated by the Rev. W. M. Whittemore that there were
60 periodicals at a price from one halfpenny to three
farthings, published every week. There were no less
than 16 640,000 of these publications published annually,
all of them bad in character, but some of them so tn,
scru, ulous in their tendency, as to make one thrill with
horror at their very titles. There was one with a we, lily
circulation of 100,000, which was said to be a great h..
vourite in families, whose main feature was the reprint
of the most obj-ctionable French novels. All these
were read principally by the young, and ofte,i by the
children of the poor, aho had b, en educat, d in S ,ndal •
schools, and thus acquired a taste for r, ading.—Jan
Bull.

SERIOUS GIG ACCIDENT.--Mr. j. Mail) of Alders-
gAt,-stri.et, City, and qtr. G. Co a gentleman residing
in the Old Kent.ro3d, were prirceerling yesterd iy in a

set off at a turioug sped. The gig wag dashed against
tamp-post and brolt,,n to pie, s, and :he gent lemon
riding in it flun.: out with sueli violence as to infl ct
most serious injuries The rcei)%ery of Mr. Math is
stated to be almost hopeless; but the injui ies sugtairnd
by Mr. Collins are no, considered dangerous.

SI 1 IP WRECKED FISHERMEN AND
MARINERS' BEN EVOLEN SOCIETY.
The anniversary festival of the above society was
celebrated at the London Tavern on Saturday evening;
liedwerth Lernbton Feel, in the chair. Although *
long list of distinguished effieers and gentlemen appeared
on the card as stewards on this occasion, we are sorry t°
find that few attended. There were, however, support-
ing the char that gallant and highly esteemed nobleman
Rear-Admiral the Earl Waldegrave, C. 8., no less distin-
guished tg,r his support of all institutions connected with
the marine of this country than for his services es *
naval ofli,er; George Frederick Young, Esq., the disj.
anguished advocate for the sailor's rights and our no
supremacy; Captain Lamont, R N., aho is well knew°
for his practical benevol. rice; Mr. Oliver Lang. of her
Majesty's dockyard, Woolwich, whose seat is never re-
cant on such occasions; Captain Swanage,
Mr. ,Atherton, her Majesty's dockyard, Woolwich; Bev'e
George Cockburn, from Wales; Lieutenant Lean, $.1,"
Government Emigration agent; Lieutenantßrown,lLP"
Registrar-General of Seamen, &c.
We regret that the pressure on our space prevel
cur giving a; length the excellent addresses on behalf.l
the institution in introducing the toasts connected with
it. After the usual honours had been paid to the Quer:,
and Royal Family. the Honourable Chairman's renuo"-
were delivered with an earnestness which could not Pi:
to make an impression, and with a truthfulness that
could nut fail to convince every one present of the sup
e'
claims of such an institution as the Shipwreck r
Fishermen and Mariners' Society on the benevolence
the ell civilised world. There are no less the:
260,000 fishermen and mariners, and of that number ci
less than 2,000 annually perish by shipwreck or Jct(
dents at sea. It is not only in relieving the catreeZe
destitution which are sure to be brought before tmo
public from this awful loss of life, but the society sf,„
embraces in its sphere of benevolence the relief of OM
who, cast on our shores by shipwreck, are without fu7,
or clothing, or the means to procure it, and are far fro
their homes and their friends ; and this is not all, ',a
when the subscriptions and donations of a generous Be
chartable public will permit, the society also kev
e
tends to the poor humble fisherman on the coast wuco
boat, .totes, or nets may have sustained injury by stork
the means of repairing the damage, and of again caret
his bread by hone.t industry in his hardy and perilc,
pursuit. Mr. Lambton fervently entreated public 10
vestigetion into the principles and objects of the socie
and expressed his conviction that, if thoroughly igncrie
and advocated as it ought to be, this society woe] aria
placed on a level with, and by the side of the highe6ssece
he best of she many beautiful charities, the saaluterac-
of which reflect+ so much honour on the national ct 3
