GEORGE EDWA.RD HOLLEST, of Fernley, Surrey —Fernley, Bag shot, December 31, Iflso. —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 HOLIEST, who for a p , riod of IR years, in an exemplary. 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. Holiest was suddenly cut off is universally known, but those only who are acquainted with his posi tion are aware that he never had the maws of making a provision for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case of Mrs. Holiest will commend itself to the generous consideration of those who are blessed with the means of alleviating, so far as human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the- distress of a family so fearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of Mrs. Holiest does not exc Nscl 401. per annum, and subscriptions are earnestly solicited in aid of these inadequate means. Subscriptions will be thankfully received by the following bankers :—Messrs. Herries, Farquhar, and Co.; Messrs Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, and Co. ; Messrs. Coutts, and Co.; Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co.; Sir S. Scott, Bart., and I;o., I, Cavendish square; Messrs. Mangles Brothers, Guildford; Messrs. Stevens and Blandy, Reading; also by the following members of the Com mittee : R. R. Bayley, Esq., Mitchett, Frimley, Bagshot. J. F. Burrell, Esq., Manor House, Frimley. Rev. J. H. Clayton, Farnborough, Bagshot. Rev. John Lawrell, Cove, Bagshot. Sir Walter Farquhar, Bart., Farn')orough-place, B hot. Thomas Longman, Esq., Farnborough-hill, Bagsheit. Captitin Curies Edward Mangles, Poyle-park, Fatttham, Surrey. The Committee have the satisfaction to state that her Majesty the Queen, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Bishop of Winchester, have sanctioned their exertions by very liberal donations. The Committee return their grateful thanks for the liberal manner in which their appeal has been responded to, and they thankfully acknowledge the following ADDITIONAL SUBSCRIPTIONS.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTH 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 260/.—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, 1549, and the 31st of stay, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631. 2 5. 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 . Since the commencement of the Company to the lot of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. Its 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,732/. I Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,990/. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,9911. 15s. 11d. since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,183/. I Is. 10d. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de I'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con► siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0101. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. Ile.) The leading principles of this Office ars —M oderate and equitable Rates or Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements en 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 ameunt 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 Insurance can only be ap ?roached 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 security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this ouestion, 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 tit, 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 made 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. Prospectuses, and every information may be obtained, on applica tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents. National Loan Fund Life Assurance Society. * Equitable Fire f * Both Offices.

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN SHIP-BUILDING.-THE SHIP COUNTESS or SEAFIELD.—The public journals have been filled during the past month or six weeks with the feats of the Oriental, American ship, of 1,060 tons, which, in her last run, carrying a cargo of about 1,100 tons, made the pas sage from Canton to London in 98 days. At the time of her arrival her voyage was contrasted with that of the Reindeer, an American clipper, of 328 tons, which. sailed from China about the same time, which, with her copper hanging lose about her, and carrying 500 tons of cargo, was only beaten five days in the passage from Anjer ; and al.o with that of the John Bunyan, another Aberdeen ship. which, in the pre vious spring, when perhaps more favourably situated as re gards the monsoons, made the voyage from Shanghae--three days' soil farther than Canton—in 99 days, and which, though registering only 470 tons, brought about 720 tons of cargo. We havejust learned of another voyage made by an Aberdeen built ship, which, at all evens, equals, if it does not surpass, that of this same celebrated Oriental. The Countess of Seafield—built by an Aberdeen firm, and com manded by Captain Leask, an Aberdeen captain—left Woo sung, about 1,000 miles farther up the country than Canton, on the Bth of October last, and arrived in the London Docks on Monday afternoon, the 20th instant—thus making the voyage in 102 days from port to port. The Countess of Sea field, which belongs to our enterprising townsman, Bailie Adamson, registers 520 tons, and brings a cargo of over 700 tons of tea and silk.— Aberdeen Journal. ROBBING THE LAWYERS.—During the holding of the late borough sessions one of the barristers had his gown stolen out of the robing-room; and the deputy recorder had his hat taken out of the same place, so that when the court broke up, at eleven o'clock on Friday night, he had to send to Mr. Bissington'e, in Briggate, for a new one, before he could leave the Court-house.—Leeds Mercury.

Mr. Churchwarden Fraser presided. There were large deputations present from all the metropolitan parishes, and among the gentlemen present were Lord Dudley Stuart, 11LP., Mr. Bell, M.P. Mr. Church warden Baker, Mr. Nicholay, and some leading mem bers of the St. Pancras and Marylebone vestries The spacious room, calculated to hold at least 2,000 per sol., was densely crowded. A letter was read from Sir B. Hall, apologising for his absence, and promising to vote for the entire and unconditional repeal of the window-tsx. The Hon. Baronet also expressed his willingness to oppose the imposition of a house-tax in its place. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business, explained that the reason the parish of St. Pancras, second to none in the metropolis, had not previously convened a public meeting, was that it was felt advisable to wait until the verge of the opening of Parliament, when the subject was being agitated all over the kingdom. As a medical man he was opposed to the continuance of the tax upon social and sanitary grounds.—(Hear, hear.) Darkness and dirt, ignorance, sickness, and crime certainly went hand in hand, and nothing so contributed to this and to the physical depression of the poor portion of the people as the window-tax. If he wished to show the oppressive character of the window duties, he need only refer to the case of the MetrOpolitan Buildings, within a short distance of that place. In that institution there were 108 different sets of ap irtments, varying in price from 3s. 6d, to 65. 6d. per week, and yet they had to pay 7f,i. per week for each set of rooms for window•tax.— (Shame, shame.) He took this statement from the report of the Metropolitan Associstioa for Improv ing the Dwellings of the Industrious Classes, and, as a proof the injustice and partiality of the tax, it said, It is the case, too, that sets of rooms in the inns of court, or the Albany, in Piccadilly, having as many windows, and being parts of larger houses, would pay only to the extent of l id. per week out of a rental of from 801. to 100/. per annum, while the tenants of the Metropolitan Buildings pay 7kd. per week out of a rent of from 13/. to 161. per annum."— (Shame, shame.) After entering his protest a ga i ns t any attempt to introduce a house-tax in lieu of a window-tax, the Chairman called on ----- Mr. BEETTINGIIAM, w h o mored- the first resolu• tion " That light and air being necessary to existence, and the free gitt of God to man, it is the opinion of this meeting that to tax these essentials is in opposition to every principle of morality; that, in the language of our forefathers, it is a badge of slavery, and a reproach to a people boasting of their freedom. That this meeting, therefore, calls upon the Commons' House of Parliament to abolish for ever, without any substitute or modifica tion, the impious, odious, and tyrannical tax on win dows, and that a petition be presented to Parliament to this effect." Mr. HEALEr seconded the resolution. Lord D. STUART said that they were all agreed that the window-tax must be abolished, and uncondition ally.—(Cheers.) This duty having been imposed 200 years ego, having been altered and increased many times since, and having been borne so long, he must say that it was high time it should be done away with, and for ever.—(Cheers.) He thought they might consider themselves pretty safe as far as the window-tax was concerned, but if they did not show a determined front, and crowd the table of the House of Commons with petitions, and block up Downing -street with deputations, they might rely upon it that a house tax would be substituted for the window tax, and, if that were allowed, they would be very little better off than they were at present. What they wanted was more economy and less expense. There was at this moment a large surplus in the Ex chequer, and it was estimated that the Great Exhibi tion of this year would increase that surplus by an additional 2,000,0001. If there ever was a time when it was incumbent upon Government to repeal taxes, that time was the present, and of all taxes, certainly the window-tax had the tirat claim to be repealed. Mr. BELL, M P., was loudly cheered. He thought that there never had been a subject upon which the people of England had been so unanimous as the one now under consideration, for all private and political le.ling was merged in the strong opposition to this tax. He, in common with almost every other person, felt confident that this impost would have been re pealed last year ; but, in their confidence they neglected to agitate the question. How did the Go vernment serve them ? Why, they added insult to injury ; for, instead of taking the duty off light, they actually took the tax off bricks, which were employed to block out the light.—(Cheers and laughter.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded by recommending an or ganiz,d system of petitioning. Mr. Nlc OLAY, of Marylebone, said th a t t o ca ll the present a Government desirous of sanitary reform was ridiculous while they persevered in continuing this tax, which was the greatest impediment to sani tary improvement.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Churchwarden BAKER having offered a few observations against the tax, on medical grounds, the resolution was put and carried unanimously, amid loud cheers. _ _ Other gentlemen then addressed the assembly, and, after a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting, which was most enthusiastic throughout the proceed ings, separated. A public meeting of the inhabitants of the united parishes of St. Andrew-above-Bars and St. George-the-Martyr, for the unconditional repeal of the window-tax, was also held yesterday evening in the hall of the workhouse, Gray's Inn-lane. It was tolerably well attended. Mr. M'Christie took the chair, and the proceedings commenced by reading letters of excuse for non-attendance from Lord Dudley Stuart, Mr. Wyld, Mr. Williams, Mr. Joseph Hume, and Mr. Thomas Duncombe. The CHAIRMAN then rose and said, that no doubt this meeting was aware that this tax was instituted to pay the expenses of a ruinous war, and that in stead of its being repealed at the peace which fol lowed, every successive Minister had continued it. (Mr. Wakley here came on the platform, and was received with loud cheers.) He differed from Mr. Wakley, who had stated at another meeting that the fault lay with the people. He was of opinion that the Members were the persons to be blamed. Lord Duncan would have succeeded in his motion last session if Mr. Wakley and Mr. Duncombe had at tended in their places. The very small majority by which it was negatived would not have existed if their Members had done their duty. But he trusted that the time had come for the repeal of this tax, even without the assistance of Finsbury. He admitted that taxation was necessary, but it must be equal, and he doubted if this would be effected with the present re presentation. Mr. M'Christie continued at some length in this strain, until interrupted by cries of " Question," " Time," " Order." During the confusion Mr. WARLEY rose'and said, he trusted that the meeting would allow the chairman to proceed. The CHAIRMAN concluded by observing that if he had time he could show them the great supineness of their representatives. Mr. AOGESS rose to move the first resolution, and said that he was thoroughly opposed to the tax, but he agreed with Mr, Wakley, and his firm conviction was that the fault lay with the people. He complained of the tax on various grounds, and concluded by read ing the resolution condemnatory of it, on the ground of its inequality and general injurious tendency. After some discussion the resolution was carried. Mr. EVANS next moved a resolution deprecatory of the tax on sanitary grounds. He condemned its partial bearing, and illustrated this by the statement that farmers paying a rent of less than 2001. per annum were exempt from the tax. Members of Par liament, who were generally landholders, took care of their own tenants. He strongly recommended re ductions in the expenditure to meet the exigencies o f the case. mo tion, and insist e d Mr. T. STEEL seconded the that Mr. Wakley deserved the approbation of the meeting. He thought that if they did not Press the Ministers to redeem their pledge by doing away with the income-tax, they could hardly refuse them this boon. w as then carried. a I DI r t i °n moved a resolution t o t h e effect, that as i lhre t w a Pr s et : °u temporary tax, it ought to have been before repealed , , a nd that, as the fin ances were now pros perous, was no long er any ground for its con tinuance. Mr. HALL seconded the motion, which was also carried. Mr. WHITE moved, and Mr. DIXON seconded, That a petition be founded on the foregoing resolu tions,.and he presented by one of the Members tor Fins bury to the 'louse of Commons." Mr. `VARLET rose and sai i, that certain accusa tions had been made agaiost him, and, further, that they had come from the chairman. He would not now reply to them by appealing to his conduct for the last 20 years in Parliament; but if the chairman would convene a special meeting, and then repeat his state ments, he would attend, at any inconvenience or any flak; He would only state on the present oteados, that when th e mo ti on was b roug ht on i n th e H ouse, his life wa s i n d anger f rom a severe attac k o f para lysis, or his vo t e wou ld not h ave been ventingagainst this most pernicious tax. But to'-speak to the subject before them, he thought that in the resoluti ons t h e only effectual method for obtaining its repeal h a d b een omitted —namely, instructions to their Memb ers to stop the supplif:s. He did not think sufficient energy had yet been shored by the people. There had n o t yet b een enough meetings held. Now, it was necessary for them, i n or d er to ma k e the Government yield, t o b e very strong, for every thing was carried on by the strength of public opinion. They should form a committee that very night, and convene a meeting, and invite all the me tropolitan Members, and ask them positively what course they intended to pursue. Wi t h regard to what had been said of his colleague, Mr. D uncom b e , h e was sorry to find that calumny or ill -natur e cou ld in one hour do away with the impression n hickhis zealous conduct had formed during years. He would answer for his attendance at the meeting to refute these charges. For hinivelf, he trusted that his health was better, and he should be able to corrinoP his daties, hut if a lair meeting was convened in Fins bury, aud it was their opinion that he ought to re sign, he would do so, although he was not conscious of having ever acted against the people e wi shes, and had always endeavoured to meet their views. An amendment on the previous motion was put and carried, that Mr. Walley's name should be inserted as the mover, and Mr. Duncombe as the seconder of the petition. Mr. BELL, M.P., shortly addressed the meeting, assuring them of hi s co - o p e ration in their views, and, After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting separated at 10 o'clock. REPEAL OF THE PAPER DUTY. (From the Morning Advertiser.) A deputation of gentlemen, anxious for the repeal of the duty on paper, are to meet the Chancellor of the Exchequer to- morrow, for the purpose of stating the grounds on which they apply for the remission of the tax. Tne names of the gentlemen who are to have this interview with the Right lion. Baronet are a suffi cient guarantee for the ability with which they will execute the task which has been confided to them. Their statements will be clear, correct, and forcible. They will be such as Sir Charles Wood will not be able to controvert. They will be unanswerable. Of course, the answer which the Right Hon. Gentleman will give to the deputation, will be sim ply an intimation that he will give his best contd• deration to the arguments and representations which they have submitted to him. That is the stereotyped phraseology of Downing-street to all deputations, no matter what may be the errand on which they have come. But though Sir Charles Wood will not com mit himself to morrow, by any specific pledge as to what he means to do, we repeat the expression of our belief, that his intention is to reduce the tax on paper to one-third its present amount. The cue, therefore, of the deputation to•morrow, must be to direct all their arguments in favour of a total remission of the tax. It is melancholy to think, that where the tax is so obnoxious, and so glaringly injurious in its operation, the Right Honourable Gen tleman should be so anxious to retain a portion of it. The paper duty is a tax on intellect—an impost on mind. It operates as a check on the exercise of humanity. It lays an embargo on benevolent exer tion. Remove the tax, abolish the paper duties, and the world will be gratified and benefited, by displays of intellect in quarters where intellect is not known to exist. There are philanthropists whose bosoms swell with schemes for the well-being of man, but the tax on paper forbids their being brought before the public. l'here are men whose thoughts have been for years occupied with plans for the moral and reli gious advancement of mankind, but the duty on paper has interposed to prevent that full exposition of their views which is indispensable to their being unfolded with success. The indirect injury of which the paper-tax is productive is incredibly great. Remove that tax, repeal that impost, and publications, having for their object the moral and religious improvement of men, will start into existence in all directions. If, instead of the paper-tax bringing in an annual revenue of 600,0001. or 700,0001., it yielded a yearly sum varying from 6,000,0001. to 7,000,000/., the conduct of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in being so desirous of retaining one-third of the tax, would be intelligible. He could in that case urge, that however obnoxious the impost might be felt by him self as well as others to be, yet that to lose so large an amount of revenue as would follow the remission of the tax, was a serious matter. Necessity, he might tell us, knows no law. The plea would avail. It has reconciled the country to many an odious tax. That plea, and it alone, induced the people of these realms to acquiesce in the window duties for a period of half a century. But Sir Charles Wood can urge no such plea in this case. If the paper duty only yield from 600,000/. to 700,0001., and he can afford to dispense with from 400,0001. to 500,0001., surely he could nut be very seriouply embarrassed were he to g ive up the remain ing 200,0001. or 300,0001. We cannot see any ex• traordimay sacrifice in that. If the country can survive the reduction of two thirds, it will not be brought to a state of bankruptcy by giving up the remaining third. Sir Charles Wood may make his mind at rest on that head. We will go still farther; he may rely on it, that on the day on which he an nounces his determination to remit the piper duties entirely, there will be no fall in the funds, not even to the extent of an eighth, which fraction, it may be mentioned, for the sake of those unacquainted with the phraseology of the Stock Exchange, means half-a crown in the 100/. It' the Chancellor of the Exchequer persists in his understood resolution of retaining one-third of the paper duty, he will not only do a very unpopular thing, but he will soon find that he will be compelled to concede the entire remission. Public opinion will be too strong for him. The country will not tolerate the retention of a third of a tax which is so odious and so injurious. It will insist on the complete repeal; and the Right lion. Gentleman will soon discover his utter inability to resist the demand. If, therefore, Sir Charles Wood possess the smallest discernment—if he have the gift, in the slightest degree, of foreseeing what is wrapped up in the womb of the future, he will not persist in his intention to retain a third of the tax. The entire repeal would at present be regarded as a boon. It is one, too, which he may very gracefully bestow. A year or two hence he will not be able to withhold the entire re mission ; and then, when he is compelled to agree to it, it will lose all the grace with which it might be bestowed this session. But we expect great things from the deputation of to-morrow. That deputation will consist of men who know what they are about. They will take care to put the matter on its right footing. Had they Charles Wood, prepared f o r th e p ecu liar notions of Sir Wood, they might not have thought of adopting a course of argument and statement which would cut from under his feet all pretext for per petuating a portion of the tax. But being prepared for his crotchets, they will not be taken aback. They will not fail to demonstrate the impolicy and ungraciousness of seeking to preserve any portion of the impost. Nor can we doubt that their efforts will be crowned with success. Sir Charles Wood, though obstinate and self-willed, is not inaccessible to reason. He has yielded in other cases, even after he had doggedly refused to do so. As the Times has not been, in this case, instructed to announce his plans, he will be less difficult tohr o e f .

A N OLD PRINTER.--We have in our employ a printer, 76 years of age, who commenced his apprenticeship of seven years in the King's printing-office, London, in 1784 ---c)4 years ago. He was a soldier under Sir John Moore, at Corunna, in Spain, in 1809, where he received a ball in the right arm. He was present at the burial of Sir John, and remembers the minutest particulars of the scene. He was also with the Duke of Wellington through bis whole cam paign, aid lost an ancle-bone by a grape shot in the battle of Waterloo. This old man, after all his hard service, is still one of the swiftest and best compositors we have ever known, and, though lame from the wounds, is still able at "early dawn and dewy eve ," w hil e younger men are wast i n g t: golden hours its sensual pleasures or snoring them . sr"l: ro l i; bed, to ramble o' er th e fi e ld s an d th roug h th e woo ds in 5' Ue ts for of wild flowers, with which he forms tempting wiener cl„ f some the belles of the village, or to gratify the e w ea isne'' m ketone Chronicle, beast of the old f s aj d o i u e r r it t e ha l t it t t h le e gcihrill.drelnt all spe loveaks l u i • j e ro ll l f — or ß t ia, h b United States. imprisonment in the dock at r obe d an aobbrcllia prisonrnent at Liverpool, named John Walker, on r ° . wa9 On that day Walker had MISTAKEN IDENTIFICATION.- - . on suspicion who named a had o b h e n e nli bDawkins,eratedwfuro from ace., .
