At a WARDMOTE holden at the Great Hall, Christ's Hospital, before the Right Worshipful THOMAS KiMLY, Esq., Alderman of .the Ward, on the 21st. tnst, for the choice of Ward Officers for the Year ensui,tg, and continwd by adjournment to,THIS DAY, at the Queen's Arms, Newztae-street, the following gentlemen WO-0 de clared duly elected to represent the ward in the Court of Common Council —viz., Deputy Eaglet" Deputy, Holt, Messrs. Rutter, Virtue, M`Laughlan, Blake, Humphreys, B. S. Phillips, Morris, Young' 31‘Gregor. C. Phillips, I•Ticholson, and Heaps. That this Wardmote views with regret and alarm the recent ap pointments of an archbishop and bishops In happy England, by the See of Rome—aapo`ntman•s which, although they are pretended to be merely of a spiritual character, give power and authority to the Persons so appointed of such a very high character as to enable them to insinuate themselves into the secrets of families, and to invest them with temporal power over their private affairs, moral, social, and politic .1. The consequences of this may be, as.in days gone by they have been, ealenlated to pervert good citizens into bad men, who will feel if they become Papists that whatever they do at the bidding of their spiritnal advisers, they may and will receive absolu tion for the same. This is so dreadful a prospect that fears of cones fluenaes know no bounds; and it behoves every loyal subject to exercise the energy of his mind towards imploring our most gracious Sovereign and. our Legislative Assemblies to enforce the laws if they be strong enough, and to make other laws to case those In existence be insufficient to restrain Popish dominion from exerc•s'ng its powo • in the mannkr intended by the Roman e,saleslastles lately appointed. Moved by Mr. GEOUGE SIMPSON, seconded by Mr. Citaamms A -01 d , nsion of Pius the Ninth. lost the little sense he bad, Minto was authorised to be the measure of his .. Shell, as the eccredited ;ish Government, playieg_the spa him to come to a compromise on the subject of his recent pretensions to exercise a co ordinate authority with the Queen, in the appoint ment of prelates to these realms ? There is not, we will venture to say, a single man who glories _in the name of Briton who does not blush and feel indignant , to see the Prime Minister of this great country thus lying prostrate before the footstool of his Holiness. Who is this man ? Whe is this Pope P Who this . Italian priest, at whose -feet the Prime Minister of Great Britain lies in the loweit humility, when beseeching him to relinquish his intention of acting in accordance with his Bull ? Who, indeed, is he ? No marvel though the question be pet. In w ill b e put most readily, and with the greatest interest, by those who are aequeinted with the' Roman" history of the last few years. Who is Pies the Ninth ? Ile is the poorest creature, the verieet drireiler, in Christendom. lie is utterly de void of brains. He never had oar, and therefore cannot be said to have lost them. lie ie a mere tool in the hands of one or more of the cunning cardinals who surround him. The chapter of accidents alone raised him to the Pontifical choir. Nature meant him kr a wry inferior station in life; fur wee of a not much higher grade than that hich he personated with such complete sue • cess, when disguised in the plush breeches, the big buttoned coat, and the well-powdered wig, of one of his own lacqueys, he escaped from the bands of the Philistines— those Philistines being his own sub jects. It was confessed by all who saw him, that never before did man more faithfully represent any character on the histrionic boards, than did Pius the Ninth, when, in the character of a lecquey, he escaped from his palace in Rome, in the habiliments of one of his own liveried servants. And yet this is the man who has created all this hubbub in the greatest country on the face of the globe,—the man who has set the whole kingdom in motion, from one extremity to the other, and with whose acts the House of Com mons will be occupied, to the exclusion of everything else, for several weeks on its reassembling. And as if all this were not sufficient to invest the Roman Pontiff with importance, though altogether insignificant in himself,--the Whig Cabinet must needs dispatch Mr. Shell on a special mission to him, with the view of coming to terms on the matters in dispute between his Popeship and the BritA Government. We remember no instance in which any previous Go vernment placed itself in so humiliating a position as this. It cannot be too emphatically repeated, that it is altogether unworthy of the character of a great country like this, that its Government shOuld be found, with hat in hand, standing before the Roman Pontiff. It was a most undignified course on the part of' the Premier, to make any advances at all to the Pope. He ought to have been treated as any private individual would treat an intruder into his premises. He should have been turned out, without ceremony and without hesitation. Ignominious ejection was the thing which hi s audacious intrusion deserved. And this will be, we presume, the way in which he must be dealt with in the end.

GEORGE EDW &RD lIOLLEST, of Frimley, Surrey —Frimley, Bag sivit, December 4, 1850.—An earnest APPEAL to public benevolence is respectfully submitted by a few friends and neighbours on behalf of the WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD HOLLES who for a p erlol of 18 years, in an exe.nplary manner, performed the duties of his church, and was distinguished by his benevolence and charity in the wide district un ler his charge. The act of atrocity by which the Rev. Mr. Done: t was suddenly cut off is universally known, but those only who a - c acquainted with his posi tion are aware that he never had the Inca 48 of making a provision for his widow. . Under such circumtatices, it is hoped that the case of Mrs. lioll,o will commend itself to the generous consideration of those who are blessed wt:h the means of 'alleviating, so far as human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a Lundy so fearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of Mrs. Holiest does not exceed 401. per annum, and subscriptions are earnestly solicited in Wd of these inaleqiinte means. Subscriptions will be thankfully received by the foil wring bankers:—Messrs. lierries, .Farquhar, and Co.; Messrs Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Messrs.

The Eagle Company held a policy for an assurance of 5391. in the Albion Company as security for an advance, the payment of which policy was now disputed by the Albion, on the ground that at the time it was effected the fact of the assured party having been a man of in temperate habits was concealed from the office. 'I he chief evidence tunic I neon the question as to the degree of intemperance that had been exhibited, and the resu't was, that a verdict was given against the resisting office, not only for the amount of the policy, but also for 401. interest front the date whet' it became due. The circumstance of the action being brought by one office against another presents a striking illustration of the Uncertainty which may attach to all po licies under the present system, and shows that the only mode by wh'eli absolute secui tty can be obtained by the public must lie in the general aloptioh by Assurance Offices of the plan of protelting them selves in ev-ry case by due inquiries before the grantim — f each po licy, and of afterwards assuming the full responsibility of the com pleteness of such inquiries by holding themselves precluded from raising any feture quefstien. In the present case two offices are found to, ho diametrically opposed in their opinions as to what can pr6perly invalidate a claim; ant ya the public are expectel to be able-to gnare themselves agalest such contingences. Similar canes have occurred,before, and even if they were more rare, they would seriously injure the progreSs of life assurance. The very principle upon which the business is foundel is the removal of uncertainty, and whenever that principle is counteracted in the slightest degree, tse people who would b e th e f i rst to resort to it s a d van t ages are th e first to be deterred."—Times, July 11, 1850.

The leading. principles of this 0:11ce ar3 —Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of est division of Profits. ,zitum Imates. lhe difficulty ofcollectinz the elements on which to proportion rremiwn 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 d'fferent Established Companies have not been proportionate to the aroonnt of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such en anomely should cease, and an apiroximation to the trill risk b 3 male. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted n. or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as s+ curity against loss for co great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer Is largely interested in this emotion, 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 analysts of its own experience, hom time to 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 investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be mada to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been 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.

GUAYAQUIL, Nov. 13.—Oottivia, of London, from DAILY NEWS.—The North-Western Railway Company, which gives employment at first•ch ss Vt'lig(.B to many thousands of workpeople, and which is honourably characterised by the attention Khich it pays to the religious, morel, and educational wants of its servants and their families, is again threatened with a strike of a portion of its engine drivers. It may before twenty-four hours elapse be again plagued by a strike, if the malcontents have the bad courage to carry their dishonest announcement out; for to vio late a contract as these men intended (as the docu ment given in yesterday's Daily News showed they did intend) is dishonest. Now, of strikes generally it is to be observed that they almost invariably occur in highly-paid departments of labour. The colliers of Durham.and Northumberland are probably the best paid unskilled labourers in the kingdom ; and they have for years been notorious for striking on the most frivolous and senseless pretences ; ,to the serious injury of their employers, to the deplorable increase of crime, and not to the benefit of their " order." S 3 with ship carpenters, so with glass manufacturers, co with Sheffield, cutlers ; all well-paid labourers, all confederated in unions, are tyrannised over by disorderly workmen, who trade on and live by the general credulity, and interfere improperly with th e goo d or d er of employ ment. So now, too, with engine drivers; they are probably the very best paid workpeople in the king dom ; and they are, it is clear, getting into similar bad habits. This is very much to be regretted ; for engine drivers are, from their skill, their industry, their general good conduct, and the danger of their trade, well worth to their companies every penny they earn ; and that company does not really study its own interest or that of its proprietary, which seeks to reduce their wages • for, besides irre gu l ar it y and accidents; there would' assuredly be. a larger amount of wear and tear of engines consequent on any such reduction. Firat•rate drivers are really invaluable, and cheaper by a third, at least, than inferior men ; so, if their general character were improved, the probability is that their wages would rise, and yet their employing companies save money by the increase of wages, which would be more than repaid by augmented economy. The public has, therefore, a great interest in well paid engine drivers ; and so also have railway share holders. Yet these men appear to labour under the impression that there is a deeply laid scheme amongst railway directorates to reduce their wages. From all that we can learn this impression is the merest delusion. it is not, in the first place, the interest of directors to do so. But if it were, they have not the rate of wages altogether at their command. Wages, like bread and butter, are regulated by supply and demand ; and the supply of engine drivers lasing below the demand ; the directorates are much more at the mercy of the drivers than the drivers at theirs; particularly in reference to first class drivers. And this the men seem to know very well ; for no sooner have they any grievance, how ever small, however unreal or imaginary, than, know ing their places cannot easily be supplied, they strike. Well, such being the growing characteristic of this trade, the North-Western Company endeavours to protect itself against the sudden recurrence of such interruptions to its and the country's business, by insisting that the drivers shall give it three months' notice before quitting their employment, always, how ever, permitting them still to leave at the expiration of a fortnight, should the inducement to go be better employment elsewhere, and not the suspension of work. Any fairer stipulation than this it really seems'impossible to devise; it is at once protection of the men's, the company's, and the country's interests. Under its operation a goood driver can enter upon higher wages, if he can find them, at the expire rion of fourteen days after they are found ; and by its provision the company will have three months to defend itself from the consequences of a com bination amongst tyrannical wo:kmere On wages it has only one bearing : if wag, s from a supply of additional hands tall, it protects the work man in his high wages for three months; if they rise, it enables him to receive in other employ ment the full benefit of the rise in a fortnight. And yet there are, it seems, engine-drivers on the North-' estern so dull and dead to their own pecuniary concerns that they ree, or affect to see, in this beneficial arrange ment a secret and subtle attack on the rate of wages which they now have. And their reason is, that, in another part of their rules, they are bound to obey prospective as well as retrospective rules and regula tions issued by the directors. Bat such prospective rules are obviously regulations for conduct and man agement of the line, its work, and servants ; not for the alteration of wages already fixed and agreed on. If, however, these men, against the advice of the dri vers on the Southern, who two years ago bad some experience of a strilo, do leave or have dishonestly left their work, without giving the fortnight's notice they are by their existing contracts bound to give, two things are certain—first, that they cught to be punished for such a flagrant violation of contract with the utmost rigour of the law; secondly, that no other railway company ought to take any one of them into its employment. Fur men who, on the ground of such an imaginary, contingent, and fictitious griev ance, attempt to suspend the intercourse between two parts of the kingdom ought to be made a signal example of. In all the records of strikes there is nothing so unreasonable as the position these men have assumed, and from it they must be routed. Such combinations and strikes must depress instead of raising wages permanently. For awhile the short supply of engine-drivers may give them a slight ad vantage • but that advantage, thus used tyran n ically, will induce the masters to rear up end educate a larger supply of competent men than the demand for them requires. And where will high wages be then? Gone—never to return. ADVERTISER. —lt behoves the Protestants of England to be on their guard. The peril is not past. The aspect of affairs is sombre in the igtreme. The mission of Mr. Shiel from the Whig Cabinet to the Roman Pontiff, is a very inauspicious circumstance. We fear it is of evil augury to those principles on which the Reformation was based. " Never did Cardinal bring good to England." Never did any one proceeding on a mission from the Briti=h Go vernment to the Pope of Rome, bring good to the Protestantism of this country. Lord Minto's mission was an untoward affair. The friendly advances which that Noble Lord, the father-in-law of the Premier, made to the Roman Pontiff, .spozking in the name of the Government of Queen Victoria, had much more to do with that audacity which displayed itself in the recent Papal aggressions, than most people imagine. The very fact of making conciliatory advances to Pius :he Ninth seems to have turned - his head never at any time remarkable for its coolness. It was a grand error to send Lord Minto on any such errand as that on which he was displtched to Rome. The result has proved that it was so. Ir. was kltogether a most humiliating affair for this country. The Pope waxed morn and more haughty and arrogant, with every new act of courtesy shown to him by the representative of the British Crown. He could not control his pride and presumption, on receiving attentions from the accredited representative of the Court of St. James's. Instead of making us the expected concessions, in return, he only, as we have stated, became more arro gant and aud3cions in his demands. What causes us deep tnortification, and us with amazement, is, that after the signal failure of the Minto mission, and the discredit which that failure brought upon the British name, the idea should fur a moment have entered the mind of the Premier, to send another party on a similar errand. It is not fur ui to pra•diet the result cf the mission of Mr. Sheil. Pussibly, it miv meet ‘A ith seeming sue- cess. But that success, even supposing it were to be complete, must prove humiliating to every nalla who glories in the Protestant and Et.g16.11 nacre. The fact i 3 not to be gainsaid, that the GoverotnEnt of Queen Victoria, the G-overnment ui the greatt.st country in existence, exhibits it elf to the world in the character of a suppliant at the feet of the Pope. Mr. Shell, disguise it as the friends of Ministers may, is commissioned, when he reaches the Vatican, to soli cit, as an act f comlescerliion on the part of the Roman Pontiff, that he would withdraw his memo rable Bull of September last, and th?reby allay the apprehensions of the Protestant su ), jtcts of her Ma jesty. Lord John Russell had no right to make any advances whatever to the Roman Pontiff. in so doing, he has at once compromised the dignity of his Sove reign, and the character of his country. No wonder though the Vatican became intolerably vain, when the Government of G rea t B r i ta i n, i n th e c ase of Lord klinto's embassy, appeared in the humiliating attitude LATE FATAL SE WER ACCIDENT. The adjourned inquest upon the bodies of the two unfortunate men, William Gardner and Edward Gor man, who perished in the new sewer in Scotland yard, by the sudden influx of the tide, took place yesterday afternoon, before Mr. Bedford, in the Board-room of St. Martin's Workhouse. Mr. Parry, instructed by Mr. Wontner, appeared for the con tractors, Messrs. Humphreys and Thirst_; and the Commissioners of Sewers were represented by Mr. IVoolrych, secretary, and Mr. Frank Forster, chief engineer. Mr. Gotto, the district surveyor, was also in attendanco. Mr. Parry, before the commencement of the pro ceedings, after announcing that he appeared to watch the case on the part of the contractors, added that they deeply lamented the melancholy accident which had caused the jury to be assembled. They bad al. ready done 2 1 1 that could be expected from them in relation to it, and they were resolved to do every thing in their power to provide for the widows and or phans of the unfortunate deceased. Mr. Frank Forster produced plans of the sewer, showing the state of the works previously to the ac cident. He also produced his report thereon to the Commissioners, and placed it in the bands of the Co roner, but it was not read. In reply to questions ff om the Coroner, Mr. Forster stated that he hsd in spected the work several times, before the sewer was driven up to the blind duck near Scotland-yard, in order to satisfy himself that the dam was sufficient. The portion of the sewer between the blind dock and Parlian:ent• square being blocked out ham Percy e was drained by two small steam-engines and a hand pomp ; and, in order to hasten the opening of Parliament street to the public, the old sewer in that street was destroyed, and the house-drainage ad mitttd into the new sewer, thus increasing the flow of water in the portion of the sewer between the dock and Parliament-square. In the beginning of the week previous to the 16th inst., one c f the er glass, being worked out, feet - % and the flow of water over powered the other. The work was consequently re tarded on that side. One of the contractors had in ! formed bin, that, anxious to forward the work, he hr.d agreed with their foreman to drive a small " headinh" between the two blocked-up ends of the sewer, sepa rated b, the bottom of the dock, for the purpose of connectii g the water-logged part of the sewer be tween the dock and Parliament square with the en gine at Percy - wharf ; and accordingly, on the even ing of Saturday, the 14th, the " heading" was com menced by Perrott, the foreman, and a man named Gorman, brother to one of the deceased. The work went on without interruption from six or seven o'clock en the Saturday night to six or seven o'clock on the Sunday night—the same men being engaged upon it all the time. He ought to state that this operation was carried on without his knowledge, or the know ledge of any other officer of the Commissioners. At the time of high water on Monday morning the water broke through the face of the "heading,' and the unfortunate deceased perished. It was clear to him that the earth between the "heading' and the bottom of the dock had broken in with the weight of the tidal waters. The earth (some of which was produced) was a mixture of tough clay and sand, about four feet thick, which was not calculated to bear the weight of ten feet of water upon it. He should not have ventured to drive a drift through such earth, wi:h such a weight of water over it; but he believed tha drift was closely timbered, and that great precautions had been taken to ensure safety. The earth was of a sort which might fall without the weight of water above ; and he should not have yen- tured upon such a work with three feet of water over it. Had there been some great object to be accom plished by it he might have been inclined to risk the making of a tunnel in it with a small quantity of water over it, but he should not like to say what quan • tity. . Properly speaking, the operation was no part of the contract—it was au expedient to join the two ends oF the sewer, in order to get tid of the water. He did Lot consider it indispensable to make the drift, but it certainly war calculated to expedite the completion of the other parts of the work. He arrived at the opinion that such a tunnel would be unsafe from the nature of the earth, and from general knowledge of the effect of the weight of water. Ten feet of water above the crust of earth, over the drift would be 51b. per square inch, or 7241b5. per square foot. If he had seen the earth he should have paused before driving a drift through it with ten feet water above. He should not have driven a drift under the dock, except he had found the earth had been exceedingly strong marl, or some other such strong earth. • Cross-examine'd by Mr. Parry—The engine at Percy-wharf was a very powerful one, competent to do the who?e work. The drift wculd have greatly facilitated the works, and, setting aside risk, it was the readiest way of getting rid of the water. Two tides had flowed over it. Supposing there had been 25 feet executed, and only 5 feet remained to be done, the fact of two tides having passed over the dock might have encouraged him to proceed with those 5 feet, only he should not have begun the work. Mr. Perrett, cl.erk of the works to the contractors, was here recalled, at the request of Mr. Parry, and he stated that in making the drift great care was taken to plank up the sides as they went on, at distances of 2 feet 6 inches. He examined the drift three or fuur times on Saturday evening, and fire or six times on Sunday at higli water, to see if any came through, but could detect none. By a Juryman—Witne.s had never before 'driven a drift wider water ; and he had done no more than usual in such cases to mike it safe, except that there was more timber used to support it. It was La tenthd to pass a 2 inch pipe through it, as a tem porary measure, to draw the water Al frcm Parlia ment street. This being All the evidence, Tt C?Rlisan briefly addressed the jury upon it. lie it to them to say whether the unfortunate m. n Lid ti'.ct the ;7 do.ith by a casualty, or whether tht ro had been culpable negligence on the part of any pe r The ilry, after forty minutes consideration, re. turnol u verdict of "Accidental death by drowning," but they added, "the jury cannot separate without expressing :ht it (pinion that great negligence is at t,ibwable to Messrs. Humphreys and Thirst, and their foremen, Mescrs. Wheeler and Perrott, in not e,nsulting th© engineers connected with the works of Victoria sewer."
