Notwithstanding the gloomy and rainy evening, the Academy of Music was well filled, last evening, upon the occasion of the thirteenth anniversary of the Five Points Mission, which is under the patronage of the New York Ladies’ Heme Missionary Society, About 250 children, neatly attired, were present upon the stagos. Thoir ap- pearance contrasted strongly with that of the ragged and filty children of tho neighborhood of poverty and vice, frem which they haye been rescued. Upon the stago was suspended a large pairting of the “Old Brewery,” which ocenpied the eite of the Mission House, at the time when Mr. Pease began bis missionary work in that vicinity. ‘The exerci:es of the evening commenced by an anthem by the children—“Our Father, whoart in heaven.”? Prayer was then offered by Rev. Dr. Hissanp, afer which Rey. Dr. Horpripcs read the annual report, of which we submit an estract:— ‘THIRTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT. Upon this, the thirteenth anniversary of the Ladies’ | Home Missionary Society, the ers present their re- | jort with a deopencd conviction of the importance of the | work in which they are epgaged, and with renewed grati- | tude to the gracious being who has been with them | through the past year, Their exertions through the year have been principally confired to the Five Points, and to another mission of a | somewhatéimilar character at Corlaer’s Hook—a poor ant densely settled neighborhood in the southoastern part of the ci'y. This mission was commenced last Sepiember in Cherry street, between Jackson and Scammel, under the superintendence of one of our missionaries. It was at fist composed of a few ragged and barefooted children, who could scarcely comprehend the instruction which was given them in its simplest form. It ia now trans- formed to ene full of interest. The number of scholars registered is 160, the average attend. ance 80. It reaches a part of the population, who, through straienec circumstances, have beea crowd | from the heart of the city, aud from Protestant churches of which they were once members. Their children have been clothed and taken into the Sabbath school, and the repis tenderly received and faithfully counselled in the familiar class meeting. Our Five Points Missioa is located in the ceutre of a population of 59,000 people, mostly of foreign origin, aud without a tingle Protestant church save the ope which was reared by means of this society. It is making a slow but steady progress in turning back the de of corruption by which it is surrounded, It has etillw covtend with iguorance, euperstition aed general Gegredation. Yet there bas been aa increase in the num- ber of church members, a progress in the religious cha- rater of thowe previously aduiited, aud a more earnest erd xerious attention on the part of thase who ome to one religivus services and Subbath schools, The average at- teudance at the day schoo has been 235, while during eome portion of the time the number has so far exceeded our accommodations that it has been deemed imporatively | necessary to commence the erection of a new school room, The building wili be completed in May, at a cost of $7,000. | Four thousand of this have been secured, aad-~we hope to obtalu the balance soon, Kighteen persons bave been re- | ceived as probationers in the church, making the entire | number of communicants thirty two.
