The annual meeting of the committee of the Sailors'
Home was held on Saturday, in the board-room of the

An unusually large congregation was' attracted, on
Tuesday evening last, to St. John's Church, in this town,
by the previous announcement that several converts would
then renounce the errors of the Church of Rome, and en-
ter into communion with the Reformed Church of Eng-
land. Every part of the sacred edifice was felted, and
large numbers, unable to obtain seats, were compelled to
stand in the aisles and passages, both in the body of the
church and in the galleries.
The evening service having been concluded, the Rev.
W. Francis Taylor, the incumbent, proceeded with the
solemn ceremony of receiving the eight individuals,
who had presented themselves for the •purpose, into,
the bosom of the Church. Of these four were males,'
and four females, of the humbler class of life, but.
hearing high characters for respectability and intelligence.:
In answer to the questions put to them, they all severally
stated that they had voluntarily sought to be admitted
into the Reformed Communion ; that they believed in the
hooks of the Old and New Testament as received by the'
Church of England, and that those books contained all•
that was necessary to salvation. They abjured the Romish
doctrine of Transubstantiation, as contrary to the teach-
ing of Holy Scripture; renounced the invocation of the
Virgin Mary and the other saints as impious, and the
worship of images as idolatrous; and repudiated the tem-,
poral and spiritual power of the Pope over the British do-,
minion', together with all the errors end superstitions of
the Church of Rome. The reverend incumbent then
preached an able and instructive sermon from the text—,
Revelations. chap, xviii. v, 4—" And I heard another
voice from Heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people,
that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive
not of her plagues :"—a text which he took to refer dig
reek, to the Romish Church, and its corruptions ; . for
the Apostle St. Paul had prophesied that ravening wolves
would enter into the Church, and draw away the faith.:
ful, even from the ranks of those whom he himself had
ordained ; and St. Peter. whom the Romanists claimed as
their first Pope, had said in the second chapter of his Se-
cond Epistle, that there should be false teachers who pri,
vily should bring in damnable heresies, even denying the
Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift.
destruction, as there had been false prophets of old. He
then explained the nature of the command cony, yed in
the text, and expatiated at considerable length upon the
corruptions which had gradually been engrafted on the
Romish system by successive Popes and Councils, twelve
new articles of faith having been added to the creed by
the Council of Trent, including that of transubstantiation,
and one by the reiening Pope, Pius IX.—the immaculate
conception of the Virgin Mary—a doctrine which the late
Bishop Milner declared to have been left doubtful by
Scripture and undecided by the Church. .Ho dwelt. also
upon the anathemas of Rome on all who rejected any te-
net established by the canons or councils of her church,
and shewed the dangers of mental equivocation as taught
by Liguori, and confirmed by the late D. Lingard, the
historian. Then, referring to the converts who had that
evening been admitted to communion with the Church of
England, he stated that their change of faith had not
taken place under the influence of momentary excitement
or persuasion from others, but had been the result of
months, and, in some cases, of years of conviction. He
believed, therefore, that in them it. was not merely a
change of name. but a chanee of heart; and that they
were sincere in their professions ; and he loped they
would steadfastly adhere to the Protestant faith which
they had embrac..d. The services did not coeclude till
nearly half-past nine o'clock ; hut, throughout, they were
listened to with profound attention, and seemed to make
a shone impression upon the large congregation. The
reverend preacher at the close announced his ititention to
give a series of six or seven weekly lectures in that church,
on the Book of Revelations, as applicable to Romrism,
commencing this evening,

The following report was read by Mr. Tomlinson, the

Home beg to submit a report of the proceedings for the

past year. Some important branches of the-establish-
ment, formerly under the charge of the Sailors' Home,
having been assumed by the Local Marine Board, fewer
particulars are left to he referred to by this committee.
The registry books of the home now record the names of

16.254 men who have established their characters. Many
have obtained certificates from their captains for seven or
eight voyages. The numbers registered in 1851 were
L 714. The operations of the deposit bank have been
satisfactory. The balance on the Ist of January, 1851,

amountedto £1.429 8.1., which has been. increased

during the year by £794 Is. 3d.. making a balance of
sailors' money in the bank, £2.224 93. 11d. To meet the
views of the Local Marine Board, the cast end of the
building, which was intended for shoes, has been adapted
to offices for thy• examination of masters ; and the rooms

on the ground floor have been used in Carrying out the
other objects of the marine act. Some alterations in the
present arrangements will be required when the home
shall be opened for domestic purposes. The want of
funds obliged the suspension of the works for a period ;
but the successful result of the bazaar which was held in
April, yielding a net sum of £5,000, has since enabled the
committee to proceed, and it is now expected that in about
two months all the interior work will be completed, so
that the home way he inhabited as soon as the necessary
