LONDON FEMALE SERVANTS' SOCIETY.

The fourteenth anniversary Meeting of this Society was
held yesterday evening at the London Tavern, Bishop's-
gate-street, the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR in the
Chair. The assemblage on this occasion was extremely
numerous, consisting principally of ladies. A long report
was read by the Rev. Mr. Watkins (Secretary) showing
the important advantages effected by this Society, the ob-
ject of which is to promote the moral and religious im-
provement of domestic servants, and to encourage them
to be correct and trust-worthy in their conduct, and to
continue as long as possible in their respective services.
After the report was read, the Right Hon. Chairman,
and several clergymen present, successively addressed the
Meeting in support of the views and interests of the so-
ciety. Amongst the speakers was the Rev. E. Irving, who
came forward, he said, out of gratitude for the blessing he
enjoyed in the services of two pious and modest servant
maids. The Rev. Gentleman in the course of a speech of
an hour's length, and which was described by his reverend
successor, as treating de omnibus rebus et quibusdam aliis,
introduced an anecdote in illustration of the blessed con-
sequences resulting from infusing piety and scriptural
knowledge into the minds of servants. He told the story
with great originality of manner. The Rev. Gentleman
concluded by seconding one.of the resolutions.
Thanks having been voted to the Loan Maxon, his
Lordship expressed his acknowledgments, and the Meeting
adjourned.
