Sailors' Home.

The annual meeting of the friends and supporters
of this institution took place yesterday in the new
building, Well-street, London Docks—Admiral Sir
William Bowles, the president, in the chair. A report
was read which gave a very satisfactory account of
the progress of the institution ; and after setting forth
the advantages it offered, stated that the experience
of the past year proved that the annual increase of
business had more than trebled. Furthermore, the
gratifying fact was established that, even at the pre-
sent moment, the receipts from the additional num-
bers of one year very nearly, if not entirely, made
the institution self-supporting ; and the directors re-
joiced in being able to pioduce so convincing a justi-
fication of their final appeal to the public companies
and mercantile firms for the further assistance re-
quired to clear off the remaining encumbrance on
the building fund account (S-300) which would effec-
tually remove all financial anxieties. Bearing in
mind that no less than 243 boarders have been vic-
tualled daily during the past year, it might easily be
conceived that the high price of provisions had not
tended to relieve the directors from anxiety, though
the charge for board had been raised and cheerfully
acquiesced in. Nevertheless, the directors fully an-
ticipated that the " home" would meet the expendi-

diminished destitution ; to which result, no doubt,
the well-known greater demand for sailors to _meet
the increased and growing tonnage of the merchant
navy had materially contributed. To whatever
cause, however, this effect might be traced, it was
still painfully true that the asylum had been called
upon to dispense the work of mercy to 713 destitute
sailors since the Ist of May, 1865 ; nor during the
lapsed period had the most obstrusive or least de-
serving of its applicants knocked in vain for admis-
sion. The demands of trade, the greater facilities
for re-shipping, and the want of employment else-
where, all tended to swell the number of incomcrs
to this centre of industry; and even here the market
was sometimes overstocked; which fact had mate-
rially helped to make up the total number (49,904)
of destitute sailors to whom, since the year 1827,ithe
asylum has been a welcome harbour of refuge. The
reports were adopted, and resolutions were agreed
to in furtherance of the objects of the institution,
expressing a sense of gratitude for the signal success
which had attended its operations, and thanks to
the Prince of Wales and other benevolent friends
who had contributed to that result. Directors were
then elected or re-elected for the ensuing year, and
a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman concluded
the proceedings. The, chairman, on behalf of the
directors, then presented a handsome gold watch to
Captain Webb, the secretary, for his valuable assis-
tance in promoting the welfare of the institution.

THE CHOLERA IN LIVERPOOL AND BIRK EN-
BEAD.—At the meeting of the Health Committee yester-
day, Dr. Trench said that up to that time 31 deaths had
occurred from cholera, eight in the workhouse, and 23 on
shipboard. The sufferers were all emigrants, or in some
way connected with the Helvetfa. It is not true that 'a
Roman Catholic priest had died of the disease.
