THE WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD lIOLLEST, ef Frimier, Sarrey.—Frimley, Bag shot, December 31,1850.—An earnest AT VEAL to public benevolence is respectfully submitted by A few friend:. and neighbours on behalf of the WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD IIOLI,E3T, who for a p -rill of 13 years, in an cxc apiary manner, performed the duties of his church, and was distinguished by his benevolence and charity in the wide district under his charge. The act of atrocity by which the Rev. Mr. Holieit was suddenly cut off is universally known, but those only who arc ticpainted with his posi tion are aware that he never had the meals of making a provisi,n for his widow. Under such circumstalices, it is hoped that the case of Mrs. llolle-t will commend Weil to the generous consideration of those who are blesseal with the means of alleviating, so far as human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a family so tearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of Mrs. Holiest does not exc cd 43i per annum, and subscriptions are earnestly solicited in aid of these ina leo:pito means. Subscriptions will be thankfully received by the follov,ing bankers :—Messrs. Berries, Farquhar, and Co.; Messrs William', Deacon, and Co.; Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, end Co.; Coiitts, and Co.; Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co.; Sir S. Scott, Bart., and Co., 1, Cavendish square; Messrs. Mangles Brothers, Guildford; Messrs.

(Incorp"rated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ara —Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insarance can only be ap proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted rn, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the tree Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this Question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to tip - e, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investiga' ion will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have seen in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s per cent, without the Average Clause.

LIFE DEPARTMENT.—Under the provisions of an Act of Par liament, recently obtained, this Company now offers to future in surers a 1)w Rate of premium without participation in Profits; or a moderate scale of premiums with four-fifths of the Profits to be de rived from all Assurances hereafter effected. The divisions of Profits which heretofore have been made Septen nially will in future be made Quinquennially, the first of such divi sions to be declared in June 1855, when all participating policies which shall have subsisted at least one year at Christmas 1854, will be allowed to share in the profits. At the several past divisions of profits made by this Company, 'he reversionary Bonuses added to the polic'es from one half the profits amounted, on an average of the different a; es, to about 1 per cent. per annum on the sums insured, and the total bonuses added to the four septennial divisions exceeded 770,0001. FOREIGN RISKS.—The extra Premiums required for the East and West Indies, the British Colonies, and the northern parts of the United States of America, have been materially reduced. LOANS granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro vided such Policies shall have been effected a sufficient time to have attained in each case a value not under 501. In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of profit was declared , n the sth of June, upon the premiums received on all Policies which had been in force seven years at Christmas 1849, and the same .s now in course of payment daily (Friday and Saturday excepted), i)etween the hours of ten and three o'clock, at the Head Office ; and 1.50 by the Agents in the Country Districts. Notice is hereby given, that Assurances which expire at Christmas must be renewed within fifteen days at this Office, or with Mr. Sams, No. 1, St. James's-street, corner of Pall-mall, or with the Company's Agents throughout the Kingdom, otherwise they be come void.

The FOURTII ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England. and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 280/.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely, the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1849, and the 31st of Slay, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 121, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums.

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It nn ertunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con iequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond' ne reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for as , istance where alone it can be procured.

Rment-etreet ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE Very early on Monday morning, about three o'clock, the inhabitants of Upper North -street, Brighton, and its neighbourhood, were alarmed by piercing. cries from several female voices of " Murder" and "Police," and in a short time a few members of the police force, with the stragglers home, whom the festive season made more numerous than usual, dis covered at the spot whence the cries proceeded the dead but still bleeding body of a man, stretched on hiz back in the middle of the road. One of the neighbours, named Wootton, was the first on the spot, and at his request Mr. Richardson, surgeon, promptly made his appearance. His aid, however, was unavailing. The man had suffered from a fatal wound which severed the wind-pipe and principal arteries, and death must have been instan taneous or nearly so. From inquiry made on the spot and in the imme diate neighbourhood, and likewise of the police, we gleaned the particulars which we subjoin : The deceased was named William Henry Marshall. He was a butler out of place, and his age was about forty years. His last engagement was in the family of Captain Preston, a magistrate where it appears be was not comfortable, and his wife statea that he had several times stated his apprehension that he should in consequence take his own life. This service he had left about eighteen months, and ever since he had been in a low way. Within the last few days he had ob tained temporary employment at the family of Mr. Lawrence, an eminent surgeon of the place. Here he had conducted himself remarkably well. He ap• peered elated at the circumstance of his having at length obtained employment, but Mr. Lawrence, jun., believes that ho neither slept nor drank during the time he was in the house. He was as usual on Sun day night, and at eleven o'clock turned off the gas from the main. 5 0 0 - 0 10 0 - 1 1 0 5 0 0 5 0 0 5 0 0 1 00 2 0 0 - 1 1 0 2 00 I 0 • -1 • 0 . b 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 10 0 February. :arch ..... April May..... .. - 2 2 0 - 5 0 0 -5 0 0 June At three o'clock in the morning of Monday his wife was awoke by a knocking at the door, and having descended the stairs and ascertained that her hu&band was at the door, she admitted him into the house. On opening the door she observed that her hus band was almost in a state of nudity. He was even without his trousers. What did he return home for in that state ? she inquired. He replied "To kill you," and suiting the action to the word, he seized her by the shoulders, and then grasped her throat. Nearly naked as she was she rushed into the street, followed by her husband, who caught her in the middle of the road. They there struggled to gether till she fell, and he upon her. She raised the cry of " Police," and a lodger that of " Murder and thieves," and the wife then effected her escape. As she ran off she saw a razor in his hand, and be having raised himself again fell. She then returned to him and found the blood gushing from a large gash in his throat, and a razor lying be3ide him. By this time assistance came to the spot, and the surgeon was sent for, and soon arrived, as stated above. But death speedily followed the infliction of the wound. An inquest was held in the evening at the Wind mill Tavern, before Mr. F. H. Gall, coroner for Dist Sussex, when the above facts having been elicited in evidence, the jury returned a verdict " Temporary Derangement. Published by the Author, and may be had of J.

The whole of the officers of this ship speak very highly of her in every respect. In her speed under sail she was but little in ferior to any of the ships, less than might have been ex pected to result from the great weights she has to carry in machinery and coals, and from the relatively less power of sail. Several letters have been received by this ship, and, according to the usage in separate statements of the performances of ships under trial, there are great dis crepancies in the accounts of the relative merits of the several ships. In accounts received, the Arethusa, 50, Captain Symonds, it is alleged, is the crack ship in strong winds—the ship under the most direct comparison with her being the Phaeton, 50. Captain Elliott. In the neighbourhood of the Isle of Wight extracts of a letter from the captain of the Arethusa have been put into circulation stating that on the 18th of November, the two ships being under all sail on a wind—Arethusa standing up well, and Phaeton inclining a good deal—the Are thusa beating at the rate of quarter of a mile an hour—the Phaeton was disabled in the trial. Of the Leander, 50, Captain Dacres, and other ships, it is stated they " were literally nowhere, as we beat them nearly a mile :an hour. Nothing could be more easy than Are thusa." On the next day, the 19th, a further trial was made, the Arethusa being directed to form close to the Phaeton ' both being under close-reefed topsails. " Are thusa shook out three reefs, all the others two. Phaeton, however, very unwillingly, apparently, shook out another just before starting." The signal was then made to carry all possible sail on a wind-10 minutes afterwards we were all started, when Arethusa set topgallant sails over single-reefed top-sails, courses, jib, and spanker. Phaeton sent men up to loose topgallant sailv, but their hearts failed them, and the men were called down. For 40 minutes we sailed, going nine knots against a very considerable head sea, weathering and fore-reaching fast on Phaeton, who seemed to pitch ex ceedingly heavy, for her bowsprit seemed to me to dip under the water, and I saw her run from amidships to right aft when she pitched. The easiness of the Are thusa was the astonishment and remark of all on board. The Phaeton carried away her jib boom and both topsail sheets, whilst the Arethusa continued some time lorger on her course. The Arrogant's top-gallant sails and jib were blown away, and Phaetonshe a having n and the reported eLeander by were signal left h far t to Deward.hr fo rtop) The mast was sprung, she was ordered to Eng land to repair her detects. The captain of the Are• ihusa observes :—" Curiously enough, in the only three bret zes we hare had, Phaeton has been each time dis abled, and has also broken several topsail yards, while Arethusa has never carri, d away a royal sheet or strained a rope yarn." A little at variance with all this, captain Elliot stated of his ship, the Phaeton, when she -vas recently in England, that she was very easy in her motions ; and as to speed, that sbe beat the whole squadron ! What confidence can be placed in such con flicting statements ? W ho cen so discriminate as to se parate the true from the fel , e part of such reports ? Such ex part: accounts of ships' performances cannot promote the interests of the r avy, but they tend rather to make its operations the object cf ridicule. Zeal is in dispensable to a good officer, but zeal without discretion Aubserves a very foolish object." From our experience of the flaming reports of the ex surveyor's ship, we place not the slightest confidence in them. We remember too well the terms that Captain Rous applied to them, and we also remember the cruises of the Flying Fish and Espiegle.—Herald, The Rev. J. Jenkins has been appointed chaplain to the Victory, fl ig-ship at Portsmouth, and not the Belle rophon, 78, at Devonport; the Rev. T. W. Bennett is the chaplain of the Bellerophon, having been re-ap pointed to that ship, and obtained leave of absence pre vious to joining her. We are sorry to say that Captain Sir Henry Black wood, of the Vengeance, 84, at Portsmouth, has been seriously ill at his lodgings in High-street. He is rather better, but still confined to his bed. Captain G. H. Seymour will commission the Win chester, 50, at Portsmouth, on Wednesday, the Bth of January, as the flag-ship of his father, Vice-Admiral Sir G. F. Seymour, to relieve the Wellesley, 72, on the West India station. The Winchester was taken out of dock yesterday, and put under the sheers and masted. She will immediately have a gang of riggers put on her. Amphitrite, 25, Captain Frederick, is receiving her tanks, stowing her holds, and receiving her anchors, at Portsmouth. She has not entered many seamen. There seems to be a great scarcity at Portsmouth, for Captain Vrederick is a popular man, and Jack is generally a good judge. - - Pe i: t i e % d e e e , t h f , ri i g n a e - b e n l e k f , t h h a e s W b i e n e e n h e t e a te k r e , n te i n h t e o e edpopcekr ere.

The whole of the children or Sunday-school scholars attending the dockyard school were yesterday invited to take tea, and about 150 very clean and tidy children sat down to an excellent repast in the school-room, which was decorated with the flags of all nations and appro priate mottoes. The Rev. J. C. Connolly presided on the occasion, and the pleasing spectacle was witnessed by almost all the heads of the departments. There was an ample supply of cake and cottage bread, and the children separated shortly after eight o'clock, P.M., highly gratified with their pleaslnt tea-party. .........-2---, ~~ :----. . / ..o. e-- -- ' 7 - ---5-1 5t(--' ,-.•7.-"- " c :z ---- " -- ----<-- _ t 4 •• ..... ~..,...L,sfr 1.--. ~, r •,--- ~. g # 4 ... .e. .."..

Mr. Editor,—" The old year lies a-dying." His hours are numbered. When we meet again, next week, he will be gone. The clergyman of the parish is preparing his funeral sermon; the only funeral that brings no fee. Kind-hearted people will soon be wishing one another joy of his successor. The chroniclers of the time are drawing his character. He cannot remonstrate, how ever much ho may be abused. His place in history is fixed for good or evil. Off must he pack to join " the years beyond the flood." What shall we say of him? How strike the balance of his accounts? Some rough computation we may make; but the season for a full and accurate estimate is not yet. That will only come to our children; perhaps our children's children. The old year has been prolific. Tao Registrar-General already reports a large surplus of births. There is also a great multiplica tion of marriages. Sore tidings fur the departing year to carry to the shade of Malthus. It will disturb him even in Paradise, if he be there. How all these human pro ductions will turn out is a ticklish question. They should he very good indeed to overbalance the deaths, in any other respect save that of number. Ido not refer to our fat friend, " the good l)uke of Cambridge." Otter ani mals can be fed up in that same stye. We have arising crop, and the soil is fertile. But the year has struck down two of our greatest men; our first of statesmen and our first of poets. It has sp-..red:r either the civic wreath nor the laurel crown. Long will the mine of Wordsworth mark an era in our poetical literature, and that of Peel in our commercial legislation. We honour their memories in that proportion which the English mind assigns to the poetical and the practical; the latter by a large vote, the former by a little subscription. And in due time we shall do the like by the bards and legis lators whom the year has ushered into the light and left crying in their cradies. " Some must watch while some must sleep; thus runs the world away." There is one thing about the poor old year which I wish particularly to notice; and that is, that he was a very churchified year. The rest of his character and doings I leave to other hands. They will no doubt be treated fully and impartially. It is only with this one point that lat present concern myself. Eighteen hun dred and fifty was all for the Church. He was keen in controversy from the first, and worked himself up, at last, into a spiritual agitation. He began with Mr. Gorham, and he ended with Cardinal Wiseman. He let the per secuted clergyman out of jail, and he brought back the runaway Pope into the Vatican. With one hand ho made a blaze of Guy Faux, and with the other strewed squibs and crackers under the bench of bishops. lie dissevered thq " the Bible alone is the religion of Protestants," and so he seiz!d it from Dissenters in payment of Church Rates. In obedience to the Jewish code, he forbad the banns between a widower and his deceased wife'. sister; and in defiance of the Christian code he kept the Jew out of his civil right to sit in Parliament. Whea young, he lit candles in churches on Sunday mornings; and when old he kicked out even the candlesticks. He turned congregations into mobs, and clergymen into dema gogue, and excited religious riots, in which the heads of some were broken that the souls of others might be saved. In short, he has been what probably his sou and heir will call most damnably devout. lie goes to his grave in the odour of sanctity; bury him in St. Mar garet's, the crammed yard is not closed; and his last will and testament, in the form of petition or address, appoints the State his executor duly to pay some little legacy of persecution. Glory had its year when Wellington reaped his laurels on the bloody plaits of Waterloo; religious liberty had its year when it was recognised by the Legislature that Catholics aro men and Christians; commerce had its year when Peel abolished the corn-laws, and made free trade the national policy; and revolution had its year, when thrones were tumbling about all over Europe only to be steadied again, for a brief while, by the props of bayonet and cannon; but all these years were orderly compared with the folly, fanaticism, and furor of our poor departing Church's year. They excited passions, indeed; but the passions had worthy purposes, and were not mad with theological bitterness. A year in church seems as fatal to reason as a year in solitary confine ment. The odium theologicum has always been a poison plant, and "we have eat-•n of the insane root. ()f the restoration of the Protestant hierarchy in this country it was said by a poet, " Now universal England getteth drunk;" of the restoration of the Romish hierarchy, it may almost be said that now universal England getteth mad, and needeth a strait jacket. The old year will have saddled us with many mis chiefs, in consequence of his religious turn of mind. We should have been left in a pleasanter condition, had he been of a different way of thinking. Heats and ani mosities are enkindled that will not, and cannot, all at once subside. There is bad blood in many neighbour hoods. People have learned to quarrel in the spirit which a divine described as that of " due Christian ani mosity." We do not shake hands with a man hear Hy a ll "Peace after assisting to burn him in effigy. tu a_u n d e on earth " the song of angels, and chansW_t,oietirertoiectnohduesntry,s of " Britons, strike home ; revenge Y u_ wis)e l ide d ra J a u n t y o at Christmash the cup o f wrongs." There is alienation among families. Bitterness has been oi heat will been blessing which should have cro theirpeace s d o in v n i eorlwill come a New Years greeting. A con coldness into many n t rr t h h e a that professionalf ro mte re preacherseo t o tested election distur bs the peace of a count y , but a reli gious contest ruffles the spirit of a na ti on . If years have their mission, let us hope that of the new comer will be to allay this effervescence, and make Catholic and Protestant tail fellow well met all the country over. There is a mixture of good and bad in another thing done by the old year which the new may serve to adjust and make their proportions evident. The Church has born brought into contempt, even in its rampant success. This Protestant Episcopacy, with clamorous multitudes at its hack, and the tythes in its pocket, and Papal Eu rope standing aghast at its vigour; what is it, as deve loped by events? A hollow combination of men sworn to the same term of words, while their faiths are wide as the poles asunder. The Church has been a Grecian daughter to the old Papacy, and nourished her parent with the richest milk of her bosom. r Protestantism has ploughed for three centuries only to grow a crop of Papists. Her seeming unity is the amalgamation of theological factions denying to each other any knowledge of the way of salvation. Half the Church damns the other half. Bishops admonish churchwardens to look out for fatal heresies in the discourses of their appointed pastors, set over them to guide to heaven.

One of your parts is tight, and one is slack; I'm quite ashamed to pnt you on my back. In parts the tailor should have made you bigger, In order to adapt you to my figure ; While other portiAns should be made much less— You really quite disgrace the name of dress. Yo r make your owner such an ugly elf That he's ashamed to look upon himself. I wish I'd gone to MOSES—that I do— Instead of buying such a coat as you ; My money bas been thrown into the street-- Anothe !would be a perfect treat. But wlsdein for the future will Hearn, And never Ivy at such a mean concern. To MOSE.' Mart in future I'll repair, For leh get a fitting garment there. Thatspl, Ccoat which my friend Thompson bought, In point : tisnot made wrong in aught. I only think what M. and SON would say, If such a coat as you were in their way : They'd not allow you house-room at their shop, Nor any such a specimen of slop.

Each is for being the Church, the whole Church, and nothirg but the Church. One half of the apostolical drseendants bastard'z ;is the other. This goes for dogmas, and that for priests. It is wonderful that people do not laugh in their pews when the Psalm is read, " Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." The world has never seen such a spiritual scandal as the Anglican Church, and its vaunted uniformity. The commands of its rubric are hooted as innovations, cus tom is set up aganst canons, and in its law and order " nothing is but what is not." Folks are astounded at finding out what it is which they believe, sod of which they were utterly and orthodoxically unconscious. Can this schism be patched up? Unless it be, is there a possi bility that such an institution should retain any particle of respect in the public mind. or any power of useful. ness? The Archbishop of Canterbury thinks that this is no time for a revision. If not, then it is a time for contempt and dissolution. Something must be done. Root out Popery, and please the Evangelicals: or restore Convocation, andplease the F use) it es . E i ther way will satisfy a facton; neither way will satisfy the people. It is left for 1851 to smoothe this tangled skein? We shall inevitably have a theological session. This is the old year's worst be quest. Questions of solid prac tical utility, and of great urgency for the oountry's well being, will be pushed aside by these candlestick contro• versie. Parliamentary and ficancill reform are in danger of going into abeyance. Retrenchment, law reform, education, knowleige, taxes, every thing, is in peril of being pushed aside by Protestantism and Popery. 'The whale is off, full drive afler the tub. Whiggery will be delighted at such a diversion. The cassock de bate will cut short the colonial. The suffrage m ust b e postponed to the surplice, and Vigra to the rubric. we shall be stunned with the clamour of jackdaws. " The wide, the unbounded prospect lies before me," and it is covered with the thorns and thistles of theological con troversy. The growth of all useful grain is likely to be choked. It would relieve Parliament and facilitate public business could we have a convention of delegates, fairly chosen from all classes of the community, to decide upon our religion, for the coming year at least, or to ascertain whether it may not be quietly left to our selves to settle. There is one chance for the young year of being bet ter than his father. The public mind is ascertained, by long experience, to be only capable of entertaining one idea at a time. Now the May Exhibition is an idea which may do some service. Let us hope it Rill save 1851 from being another Church year. A year of in dustry will be moat welcome, to all but the parsons, after a year of theology. The Crystal Palace will be mere crowded than any metropolitan Cathedral. In ventions for the handicraftsman will happily replace the jargon ~ o f the schoolmen. The sight of cheap fabrics will refresh the mind after church-rate discussions and distrainte. Cardinal Wiseman will be cut out by the new eat of a cardinal. Albs and mitres will not be ad missible in Hyde-park. People will look at tickets in stead of texts. We shall come down from the clouds to see how the soil may be better cultivated. " White black, and grey, with all their trumpery," may go again to limbo. The Pope will be less interesting than Paxton. The expositors in request will be those who expound the miracles of manufacturing machinery. Our Chinese visitors may repeat the exclamation of the Mandarin on hearing the Atbanasian Creed. "It is astonishing that people should talk such nonsense who make such good watches!" There will be more human brotherhood in one day's intermingling of the denizens of all regions to gaze with common feelings of wonder and delight on the diversified scene, than in all the Christmas preaching& of the bigot combatants. Divines may despise the Exhibi tion as a collection of " base matter," but there will be a good spirit in it; aye, a spirit more divine than Harry of Exeter ever bestowed upon kneeling priest, by the imposition of his pugnacious fingers. Let 1851, then, go to the Exhibition for a character. It will give him more than a Europea❑ reputation, a world-wide fame, and one which may last for ages. It is his golden opportunity. So, farewell to the old Ecclesiastic; let him totter out, mumbling his Protestant Litany, or counting his Catho lic beads; and welcome young Industry, with his arts and inventions, and without either creed or crozier; welcome to the transparent Palace which Genius has reared for his reception.

Yesterday afternoon a special general meeting of this Board of Guardians of the West London Union was held at their house in West-street, for the purpose of taking into consideration what steps should be adopted by the guardians (of whose union, it will be recollected, the unfortunate girl Jane Wilbred seas formerly an inmate) to ensure the apprehension of Mrs. Sloane and Miss Louisa Devaux. There was a very full attend ance of guardians; end Mr. Bothell, of Farringdon street, the chairman of the board, presided. Mr. Hertel...errs, of Holborn-hill, said he rose to bring before the board of guardians a matter of the deepest importance to them and to the public at large. It was relative to the case of that uoforianate creature Jane Wilbred. They had achieved one point in the committal of Mr. Sloane; but they must not rest there. —(hear, hear.) Mrs. Sloane was at large, he was sorry to say, through the supineness of Mr. Alderman Hum phery, as was also Miss Devaux. Since they List met, Mr. Pontifex, the clerk of the union, had examined Jane Wilbred, and from the answers she gave it ap peared that Miss Ds•vaux was not only presei.t and wit nessed the atrocious procettlirge of the two Sloanes, but actually took part iu the crte hies perpetrated. If the girl's statement were true, and he (\fr. lie rapath) hnd little doubt of it, Miss Devaux was at least partireps erimin is —(lle4r, hear.) Ie now bet area the duty of the guardians, us guardian, o! the poor, and as it were fathers of those unfortunate creatures who were placed under their protection, to strain every nerve, and to leave et) steno unturnr d, until they brought to justice all the individuals who had teLen any part in the detestable cruelties which had been recorded in the public print, and which had excited such a gent ral feeling of disgust.—(Loud cheers.) It was quite certain, that unless they adopted some extraordinary means, Mrs. Sloane and Miss Devaux would c:cspe. The plan which he was obese to suggest was to offer a reward for their apprehension.—(Loud cheers.) Some of the guardians night object to the expense of such a course, but he (Mr. llerapatb) felt quite assured, as ho was from the first moment when he originally brought the casu be f.re the board of guardians, that the Poor-law Commissioners would allow every farthing of any expense it was necessary to incur in the prosecution of this case.—(Hear, hear.) In fact he felt so certain of it that, rather than the matter should be further dela3ed, he would himself consent to raise the money by a subscription, and he knew enough of the public feeling to say ho could raise ten times the sum in one day. But puthewd7dldthat even themifatttehreyuhpaodn toa higher ground. lie cont. pay the money individually, it was th e i r d u ty to raise i t in order that persons might be punished who had so grossly maltreated one of the unfortunate children com mitted to their charge, and to whom they stood in loco parentis.—(lli ar, hear.) The resolution which he had to propose was as follows: " That this board do off at a reward of 201. for the ap prehension of Mrs. Sloane, and that application be made to the Right Hon. Sir George Grey, the Secretary of State for the Home Delartmeet, requesting the Govern ment to increase the sum to 501." Mr. WEIGIITMAN rose to second the resolution. He said he cordially agreed with the sentiments expressed by Mr. Herapath, and was of opinion that the guardians should lose no time in carrying them out. The resolution was then put and unanimously agreed to. Mr. lIERIPATII said ho thanked the guardians for the cordial manner in which they had seconded his endea vours to bring to justice all persons accused in this case. He had but one object in view when he took upon him self the office of a guardian. It was not to save the parishioners a few paltry pounds that he consented that those duties should be imposed upon him, but that ho might see that the poor, whose necessities compelled them to throw themselves upon their fellow-creatures for support, should be humenely treated and properly pro vided for. lie wished to let it be distinctly understood by those who took into their service persons from that union, that the guardians were resolved that they should be protected, as tbey would protect the daughter of a tradesman or a nobleman, and that no case of maltreat ment would be allowed to go unpunished.—(Cheers .) motion of Mr. HERAPATH, After some discussion it was resoclovnedsu,iatlawoi with hn hie, better apply o f t omt ]Visa " That the clerk be requested to Huddlestone, the counsel for the prosecution, as to Louisa Devaux." magistrate whether the f oboard warrantof guardianshad apprehension A vet© of thanks having. been awarded to the Chair ' man, the proceedings terminated.
