THE WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD HOLLEST, of Fernley, Surrey.—Frimley, Bag shot, December 31,1850.—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 HOLIEST, who for a period of la 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 soddenly cut off is universally known, but those only who are acquainted with his posi tion are aware that he never had the mesas 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 faintly so fearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of Mrs. Holiest does not exceed 40/. 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 Co., 1, 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., Farnborongh-place, Bagshot. Thomas Longman, Esq., Farnborough-hill, Bagshot. Captain Charles Edward Mangles, Poyle-park, Farnham, Surrey. The Committee have the satisfaction to state that her Majeety 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.

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 shbuld 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 ?reached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted on, 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 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 time, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and win 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 Pronerty on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

Any condensation, it was explained, that might take place on the internal surface of the glass roof would be caught and carried off by the peculiar formation of the Paxton gutters. This is found practically to be the case; and even after nights during which not a drop of rain has fallen, there is an astonishing flow from the drains. In this manner the interior of the building acts like a still, and is every day becoming dryer and dryer. The chance of a drip from the iron bsanss in sutnmer is thus proportionally diminished. If such did take place it would he a serious nuisance, for there exist no means for obviating it. Amidst other changes which have been decided on since our last notice, there is one which we are sure will give un alloyed satisfaction to all persons of taste. Tbe Cone missioners of Woo is end Forests had undertaken to enclose the building with railing ; and, in ful filment of that promise, they proceested, with a sim plicity worthy of ancient Sparttusa to place plain iron posts in the ground, which they connected together with a single rod of the same material. This afforded very little protection to the external wall of the Ex hibition when the hoarding was removed, and the crowds of idlers collected there during the day used to amuse themselves by twisting the louvre boards so as to catch a peep of the interior. It was at once seen that such a railing would never do, and accordingly a very handsome one, 6A- feet high, has been designed by Mr. Owen Jones to take its place. While the Crystal Palace thus rapidly approaches the stage at which it will be ready for the reception of goods intended for exhibition, the Executive Com mittee, having taken possession of their offices within the premises, are busily engaged in completing all the arrangements requisite with reference to space. From the maps which we have seen France will be far the largest contributor of any foreign country. Next to it will come the Zollverein and Austria; then Belgium. To these succeed Russia, Turkey, and Switzerland. Holland, its commercial im portance considered, will occupy a very small space. The northern states of Germany, not included in the Zollverein, Egypt, Spain, Portugal, the Bra ' zils, and Mexico, have confined themselves within still narrower limits, and China, Arabia, and Persia have the smallest sections on the east side of the tran sept assigned to them. Of the British dependencies, the East Indies claim the lion's share of room, and of the whole ground assigned to industrial products of the United Kingdom, nearly one-half has been appro priated to machinery. As far as possible, the dif ferent nations have been arranged in a manner cor responding to their distances from the equator ; the products of tropical climates being brought nearest to the transept, and those of colder regions being placed at the extremities of the building. While the Exhi bition lasts the Crystal Palace will be treated by the Custom-house authorities as a bonded warehouse. The reception of articles will commence, it is be lieved, on the 10th of next mouth, and a large party of Sappers and Miners, intended to assist in this por tion of the work, have already had quarters assigned to them in Kensington Palace. The first and most difficult step in the necessary preparations for a great industrial exhibition, the erec tion of a covered space within which it could be con veniently and suitably held, has now been accom plished. Other and hardly less ardous labours remain to be achieved. An elaborate system of decoration, 1 extending internally and externally, over eighteen acres of ground ; the entire filling up of that vast space with stalls, tables, cases, &c.; the preparation of walks and avenues, ornamented with statues, foun tains, and other objects of artistic beauty; the entire arrangement of the countless number of articles brought forward to be exhibited ; the fixing of an im mense mass of machinery of the most complicated description ; the covering of the structure with a monster shade of calico, to exclude the sun's rays ; the organization of the modes in which visitors are to be admitted, property to be protected, and all the business details of the Exhibition, strictly so calleck.,to be managed ;—these form an imperfect summary of what must be done within the next three months.— Times. REPEAL OF THE WINDOW-TAX. A general meeting of the inhabitants of Hammer smith and the neighbourhood took place last even ing, at the Albion Hall, Hammersmith, to petition Parliament for the unconditional repeal of the win dow-tax. Mr. W. Simrsox presided. He observed that though it was generally understood that Government intended to do something on this subject, unless the pressure from without was applied they would be very likely to neglect their duty. As a medical man he considered the great argument against the window t ix was on the score of its injurious effect on health. Till it was repealed the full benefit would not be derived from the repeal of the duty on glass ; when both were done away we should see a new era in architecture.—(Hear, hear.) Not only ought the window-tax to be repealed, but the whole system of taxation stood in need of revision. Mr. T. C. FLETCHER, the secretary, reed letters from Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P., Sir De Lacy Evans, ALP., Mr. E wart, M.P., and Mr. John Williams, M.P., all condemnatory of the tax, and expressing a hope that the public feeling would be strongly mani fested against it. He had written to Lord R. Gros venor and Mr. Osborne, M.P., but from them no an swers had been received. Mr. T. J. SERLE said; he was most anxious for a repeal of the window duties, and did not object to the substitution of a house-tax.—(No, no.) The worst feature of the window-tax was the ignorant indiscri mination with :which it was levied, being made to press most heavily upon the poor. The improvement in architecture which its repeal would induce might be judged from the beautiful bay and oriel windows which characterised the architecture of the Tudor age. He moved a resolution declaring the window tax obstructive to improvement, and one that pressed unduly on the poor. Mr. HOUGHTON seconded the resolution. Mr. FLETCHER said that, instead of imposing a house-tax, it would be better to increase the duty on horses, carriages, and other articles of luxury. Of the 2,428,000 houses in the country, only 340,000 paid the window duty; supposing it repealed, all the other houses would have additional windows put in, and this would create a great demand for labour. The resolution was unanimously adopted. Admiral Sir C. NAPIER was loudly cheered on rising to move the second resolution. He thought the window-tax the most obnoxious impost now existing. In pressing for its entire and immediate removal, it was not for them to suggest a substitute. —(Cheers.) There would he this year a surplus of two millions ; what the Chancellor of the Exchequer would do with it no one could tell.—(Laughter.) He would also have to grapple with the income-tax, and probably he would not be able to carry it in its pre sent shape, which taxed incomes in the same propor tion as realized property.—(Hear, hear.) To this he was decidedly opposed.—(Cheers.) He was a farmer himself, but not a Protectionist; and he must say the farmer was taxed most unjustly by income-tax ; he paid not on what he received, but what he ought to receive. —(Hear, hear.) For his own part, he could say that that had been nothing at all last year.— (Laughter.) Then the taxes on soap and tea were attracting attention ; and there was no doubt that a reduction of those duties would greatly increase the consumption.—(Hear, hear.) Still, he maintained the window-tax was the one on whose total and entire abolition they ought to insist without suggesting to the Chancellor of the Exchequer what should be the substitute. — (Cheers.) At present a builder studied how few windows he could put in a house ; and it frequently happened that a large room was made instead of two small ones to save a window. Not only the glazier, but the carpenter and many other trades suffered from this tax. He bad always advocated the repeal of this tax when in Parliament.—(Hear.) He did not believe any substitute was necessary ; let Gojteurrn ment set honestly to work to reduce the expe9auiffices Look at the enormous salaries of those in 13 BD —look at the wasteful expenditure in —(Hear, hear.)

He moved a resolution declaring that the window-tax was a war-tax, im posed with an implied understanding that it should cease when the war term:nated ; that after a peace of 36 years the tax was still continued, .though neither necessary for the purposes of war nor the efficient maintenance of the army and navy : and that, conse quently, there had been a palpable breach of faith with the country.—(Hear, hear.)

SALES IN THE ENCUMBERED COURT.--DUSILIN, WEDNESDAY. —The estates of the late Mr. Dillon Browne, 111. P., i n th e county of Mayo, and the estates of Mr. Don Croker, in the counties of Cork and Kerry, were put up for sale yesterday. The estates of Mr. Dillon Brow ne contain 2,394 statute acres, the greater part of which are , unlet, and the value of the entire is estimated at 1,182/. per annum. This pro party was offered in eight lots, four of which were adjourned for want of bidders, and the other four were sold et rates of about ten anal twelve years' purchase. The estates of Mr. Dillon Croker, in Cork and Kerry, are coinparatively well-circumstanced proper ties, and sold at rates of ten, twelve, four!een, and sixteen years' purchase ; and a reserv e d rent, derived from a lease ren , wable for ever, well sf-cured, brought tweoty-live years' purchase. Mr. James Pim, of tilt firm. of Stewart, Pim, Kincaid, and Cu., waa the pur chaser of the lot. Sir William Codrington, an English baronet, be. came the purchaser of the house and demesne lands of Quartertown, the family residence of Mr. Dillon Croker, for 4,0001., or about fourteen years' pur chase on the present estimated value of 2851. 6s. per annum. It is stated that Sir William has a considerable command of capital, and that he intends to make further purchases in the Encumbered Court, with a view of fixing his permanent residence in this country. The sum total of the sales yesterday was 27,9201.; of which 7,3451. was realized by the sale of four lots of Mr. Dillon Browne's estates ; and the remainder by the sold lots of Mr. Croker's estates in Cork and Kerry. Previous to the public sales yesterday, Mr. Com missioner Longfield, in chamber, confirmed the sale of the lands of Mositown, county of Westmeath, which were conveyed by private contract, through Messrs. Stewart, Pim, Kincaid, and Co., to Mr. William Dar gan, the eminent railway contractor, for 5,0001. Mr. Smith, an English agriculturist, who offered that sum, made the purchase in trust for Mr. Dargan. Mr. Smith has become the tenant of Mr. Dargan, and is to carry on the manufacture of cheese, on the Derbyshire system, on the extensive and fertile farm of Mosstown. London : John W.

THE MODEL GENTLEMAN The only thought that enters in my noddle, In picturing a gentlemanly model, is simply dress ; for rank and education Are matters for distinct consideration. A model gentleman, we must confess, Is one who clothes himself in MODEL DRESS. A model gentleman will never go To any mart but MOSES—Oh dear, no ! For where could he obtain attire so smart As that displayed at 310SES' model mart ? 'Twould matter not, wherever he might toddle, One thing is clear—he'd never be a model. A model gentleman, besides all that, Would go to MOSES for a MODEL HAT. Such model hats as those of MOSES are, Have spread their stylish character afar ; And whosoever wears not on his noddle One from their stock must prove himself no model. A model gentleman will also choose MOSES' famed mart for MODEL BOOTS AND SHOES. A gentleman would never be complete Unless he made two models of kis feet, Which cannot be effected if he buys Any but those which MOSES' house supplies. These are the boots and shoes in which to toddle, And he who wears them not is not a model. A model gentleman you'll never see In anything but MODEL HOSIERY. His shirts and handkerchiefs, h s gloves and hose, Will all be found in keeping with his clothes ; And if you ask'd if MOSES were the model, You may depend he wouldn't shake his noddle. A model gentleman would never do Unless his lady were a model too ; But it must be his choice, as well as hers, To favour MOSES' mart for MODEL FURS. Nor would he be pronounced a molly coddle In trying thus to make his spouse a model — A model gentleman at once would know The mart to which his lady ought to go. MOSES and SON'S prime shop he'd name to her, As that which model ladies should prefer ; And thus I've given, as simply as I can, The outlines of a model gentleman.

A fortnight has elapsed since our last notice of the Crystal Palace, and, though in that space of time the progress which has been made does not strike the eye so much as during the earlier stages of construc tion, it is not the less real. The first efforts of the contractors were necessarily directed to the task of covering and closing in the ground to be occupied ; their next business was to complete the details and give a finished effect to the whole. To a spectator the former pert of the process was the most striking, from the marvellous rapidity with which the vast fabric grew. The portion of the work now in hand affects the senses less strongly, because minor points are swallowed up in the impressions of immensity, light ness, and regularity of proportion which the building conveys. The novelty of the conception has already, in a great measure, been realized, and in presence of that the final details of execution are of comparatively little interest. In a very few days the building will be so far completed as to be ready for the reception of goods. By the end of the week it will have been entirely glazed in, and the flooring of the ground area and galleries, as far as it has been ordered, will have been laid. The great central avenue will not be boarded over at present, in order to facili tate the transit of heavy articles intended for exhibi tion. The only part of the building where any con siderable amount of work in glazing and flooring now remains to be done is the north-east corner. Here, therefore, at present the hands are chiefly employed. Other operations are being carried on simultaneously The bases and tops of the columns are being capped, so as to give them a more finished effect. The exter nal decorations have been commenced, especially at the south end of the transept; and it appears now decided that the colours to be used are blue and white, the wood pannelling of the ground tier being stained so as to bring these colours out more prominently. The Commissioners' first decision, therefore, that the exterior of the buildi ng s h ou ld be painted in plain stone colour, has been changed, and the new plan of decoration proposed by Mr. Owen Jones adopted in stead. Whatever difference of opinion there may be as to the taste displayed by that gentleman in his contemplated mode of painting the interior, the praise of a happy selection of colours for the outside of the building will not be denied to him. The piece al ready executed at the south end of the transept promises to answer exceedingly well ; and, if any doubt remained on the subject, it would be dissipated by the view of a small portion of the north front, where a specimen of Mr. Jones's plan is exhibited side by side with the suggestions of others. How far the murky atmosphere of London, rendered doubly injurious by the uncertainty of dtar climate, may interfere to tarnish and spoil decorations of so light and brilliant a character, and so much ex • posed, is a point, which the Commissioners appear will ing to risk, nor do they seem afraid of developing to the utmost extent, by the aid of painting, those im pressions of lightness, airiness, and transparency which the style of construction already so strongly conveys. As a very large proportion of the exterior is to be covered with white calico, there appears some reason to fear that the whole may at least wear too much the aspect of a gigantic booth, the more espe cially as the roof is to be surmounted with a profusion of flags. The usual attributes of a fair must be skil folly handled, or the Crystal Palace may degenerate into a huge vul gar it y ; pretent i ous in dimensions,e glaring and flashy in appearance, and having little about it significant of that sober, sedate, and steadfast people who have made it their house of reception for the industrial skill of the world. While we indicate this danger, we are not afraid that it will be incurred. The effect of the transept, with its glittering arch, and of the eastern and western facades, with their terraced outlines, will not be thrown away. These objects must attract general admiration, and impart dignity and elevation to the whole structure. While the work of decoration has been commenced externally, it also makes some progress within the building. Hitherto there has been no means of fairly estimating the merits of Mr. Owen Jones's proposed plan of internal decoration. A specimen was exe cuted in a part of the building where a variety of circumstances contributed to give it a very disagree able, we might say, a vulgar effect. The condemna tion of it was so general as to be almost unanimous, and the Commissioners, at their first meeting held within the building, pressed Mr. Jones hard to modify his plan. We were even informed by one of the secretaries that they had decided that a consider able modification should take place ; that the amount of blue and white should be increased, the former being intensified in shade, and that the yellow and red should be reduced, a lighter red being used. The changes thus contemplated we at the time approved, and we still adhere to that opinion. But it appears that we have been misled as to the decision of the Commissioners, and that, in point of fact, Mr. Owen Jones has been left to carry out his original plan, with two very slight alterations. The first of these is that the ridges of the roof are to be marked out by blue lines instead of red ; the second, that the sash bars are to be painted white instead of yellow. When a man of Mr. Jones's eminence as a deco rator is intrusted with a work of this kind, it is only fair that he should be allowed, both by the public who criticise and by the Commissioners who employ him, considerable license in the execution of his de signs. It is also, on the other hand, but reasonable that he should not perversely adhere to his own pre conceived ideas of a certain decorative style to be adopted, when both the Commissioners and the public have urged on him the propriety of some modifica tions. The effect of the small portion of painting already executed is not so unfavourable as from the experimental specimen might have been anticipated. This is due partly to the position in which that speci men was executed, and partly to an improvement in the tone of the colours used, the blue especially being more positive. We still, however, cannot divest our selves of the idea that the style of decoration is not what it ought to be. The roof of the transept, which has now been painted, and a portion of the gallery space above the grand entrance, will give visitors who wish to form an opinion on the subject an opportunity of judging for themselves. It is the aggregate of individual tastes concurring with it which alone gives weight to public criticism, and if Mr. Owen Jones still finds it up-hill work to bring people round to his designs for decorating the Crystal Palace, we would put it to him whether an obstinate adherence to his own views on the subject is likely to conciliate approbation. The rules of decoration, however well-defined in ordinary circumstances, cannot be applied with certainty to an entirely new construction of edifice, nor can the pre cedents furnished by ancient or modern art be at all confidently appealed to with reference to a building which in size, in materials, in proportions, and in the effect of external light upon it, is entirely with out a parallel in the world. The pictures of the in terior, as it will be when the decorations are finished, are certainly very effective works, and if the coup d' oil which they present could be realized we should feel less concern about the matter. It would be morti fying, after having entirely succeeded in the erection of a building suited to receive the choicest specimens of the world's industry, if we did not do full justice to it in the style of embellishment. Turning to other points of the building, we have to notice that an additional pillar has been placed close behind each of the four corner pillars at the points of intersection of the nave and transept. They answer a double purpose, for they strengthen the building at its centre, where the strain is of course greatest, and they add considerably to the architectural effect. The columns originally placed there, though of the same apparent size externally as the rest, are in reality much stronger, so that the addition was not considered re quisite by the contractors, though it certainly pleases the eye. The pipes for the supply of the fountain in the centre of the transept are being laid, and the in tention is that water should be introduced in mains all round the building and across it at two points. This leads to the subject of insurance, with reference to which some curious facts have come to our knowledge. The principal insurance companies of the metro polis have come to the conclusion that the Crystal Palace is a very combustible edifice, upon the insur ance of which a high premium must be paid. The calico covering in which it is to be wrapped—the proximityof the fixed steam-engine for the machinery —the proposed plan of lighting the interior by lamps fixed in the external wall,—all these matters have im pressed the companies with such a sense of danger that they refuse to insure at a lower rate than 21s. per cent. for nine months, with a premium at the rate of about 2,0001. per annum for the building, and with proportionate rates on the enormous amount of E valu able.b property collected within it, the Great tion of 1851 will prove a profitable concern forso;000/. these companies. France alone wishes to insure worth of goods for the occasion. Thereox reason for apprehending a fire intlie Crystalen;and, even if can be little Palace, if the moat ordinary precautions are : it did unfortunately occur, the open c haracter of the building presents the greatest facihtres for its imme diate extinction. When the building was first an nounced the question of water was supposed to present 2 2 01 2 0 0 MONEY ORDERS.
