Yesterday, the Anniversary Meeting of the Port
of London Society, which has for its object the pro-
motion of Religion among Seamen, was held in the
great Hall of the Freemason s Tavern, Great Queen-
street, Lincoln's Inn-fields; the Right Hon. J. C. Vit.-
11.1enS, in the Chair.
Mr. LAC:EY read the Report of the Proceedings of
the Society. It stated, that the cost of the purchase
and fitting-up of his Nlaje,ty's ship Speedy, as a
Chapel for the Port of London, had been little short
of £9,000, but the accommodation is complete for
800 hearers, The Society had incurred a debt of a
few hundred pounds, and their first object was to
pay off this debt, and then procure annual Subscrip-
tions, to keep up the important works which they had
begun with so much benevolence and zeal.
The Earl of ROCKSAVAGE recommended the So-
ciety to the Meeting, which had for its object to bring
our brave Seamen to a knowledge of that Religion,
to know which was eternal life. He proposed the
first Resolution.

Dr. THORPE seconded the Resolution, and in doing
so, eulogised our Seamen for their bravery, and of
their necessity to our Commercial greatness. We
owed them not only an asylum in Greenwich Hospi-'
tal in old age, but also. an everlasting asylum under •
the cross of Ciiaisv.—The motion was then carried.

Mr. WILBSR7ORCR lamented, that seamen in gene-
ral had not even the education of ordinary men. It
had been said by some, that to make seamen religi-
ous would damp their courage. On the contrary,
that mast make our seamen still more courageous,
which, in the hour of death's last agony, could ren.l
der even the tender heart of u omen brave. The day
might soon arrive, said the Hon. Gentleman, when
every one of our seamen would become in come sort
3lissionaries, to carry the important truths of the
Gospel to the benighted inhabitants of the most dis-
tant lands.
After speeches from Admiral STRANGER, Mr.
STEPHEH, the Rev. GERARD Nom, the Rev. Mr.
THORN, the. Rev. W. Coos, Mr. MARTYN, &c. thanks
were voted to the Chairman ; and aster considerable
subscriptions had been entered into, the Meeting -
separated. evidently much gratified with the proceed-j
