Late overland papers contain full reports of the anniversaries in New York City, held during the month of May, commencing on the II th and closing the 17th. The most important were the American Bible, Tract, Education, and Home Missionary Societies. Our narrow limits will only allow us to offer a few remarks in regard to the anniversary of the American Seamen's Friend Society, held on the evening of the 1 lib, at the Tabernacle. The meeting was numerously attended. The number of seamen present was quite large. The President of the Society, Capt. E. Richardson, occupied tho Chair. The annual Report was read by one of the mentable news: On the 3d of May, (Sunday,) about 4 Secretaries, the Rev. .1. Spaulding.

So the sailor, wearied with storms, and rocks, nnd sickly climes, seeks the land; but there he meets with more numerous and powerful enemies, who strive to destroy bitn, both body and soul. Therefore there is necessity for special effort on bis behalf. And there are great encouragements." Then followed the Rev. Dr. Tyng, whose eloquence is braid in the advocacy of every good and worthy object. Dr. T. is successor of the lute Dr. Milnor, of New York. In connection with the anniversary ofthe Seamen'■ Friend Society, wo would refer to an important convention which was held in New York, composed of the principal seamen's Preachers in the United States. Intelligence respecting tho operations of Seamen's Friend Societies and other kindred institutions in the United States, is most Encouraging. While our hearts are thus made glad with news from the new world, that from the old world is no less cheering. A copy of Wiluicr &. Smith's European Times, for July 2G, now lies upon our table, containing a full report of the laying of the corner stone of the new Sailor's Home, in Liverpool, by Prince Albeit. A further account will appear in a subsequent number of the Friend. Prince Albert's donation for the Home, was JEIOO. The entire cost is estimated at X25.000. On the evening of the 9th a meeting friends ol" Mr. Wilcox's Select School ofthe was held at tho school room. Judge Turi-ill was appointed to preside as chairman, and Mr. Wilcox to act as secretary. After listening to a report of the financial affairs of the school for the term about to close, it was unanimously voted that the school should be continued. Terms were adopted, as may be seen in advertisement. Rev. S. C. Damon and J. B. DcFiennes, Esq., were appointed a committee to act in concert with Mr. Wilcox, to conduct the financial and other affairs ofthe school. It is sincerely hoped that the school will open with a sufficient number of scholars to meet its necessary expenses.

About fifteen months since, an American whaler touched at this port, and while lying at anchor in the outer harbor, during the absence of the Captain, the steward stole a bottle of brandy from the medicine chest, and drinking it, became intoxicated and very insulting to the officers and Captain when he returned. As to the guilt of the unfaithful steward there could be no possible doubt. The question arose, how should he be punished ?
