F ARRINGDON WARD WITIIIN, December 23, 1850. At a WARDMOTE holden at the Great Hall, Christ's Hospital, before the Right Worshipful THOMAS K. ±MLY, Esq., Alderman of the Ward, on the 21st. lust, for the choice of Ward Officers for the Year ensuing, and continued by adjournment to THIS DAY, at the Queen's Arms, Newgtae-street, the following gentlemen were de clared duly elected to represent the ward in the Court of Common Council—viz., Deputy Eagleton, Deputy Holt, Messrs. Rutter, Virtue, M`Laughlan, Make, Humphreys, R. S. Phillips, Morris, Young' M`Gregor, C. Phillip!;, Nicholson, 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—appo:ntra,mts which, although they , are pretended to he 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, aid politic td. The consequences of this may be, as in days gone by they have been, calculated to pervert good citizens into bad men, who will feel if they become Papists that whatever they do at the bidding of their spiritual advisers, they may and will receive absolu tion fur the same. This is so dreadful a prospect that fears of conse quences 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 Pt case those in existence be insufficient to restrain Popish dominion from exerc:sing its powe in the manner intended by the Roman esolesiastics lately apnointed. Moved by Mr. GEORGE StonsoN, seconded by Mr. CABLES WARWICK That this Wardmote have again the gratification, after a period of twenty-one years' faithful services, to award to the Right Wor shipful Thomas Kely, Req., the alderman of this ward, their respect ful and most sincere thanks for his undeviating attention at all times to his public duties, for the interest he takes In and his liberal con tributions to our local charities, for his great urbanity, his strict Impartiality and sound judgment Ia conducting the business of the day.—Carried unanimously. Moved by Mr. COLE, seconded by Mr. WATSON That the thanks of this Wardmote be given to the depu'ies, Messrs. Eagleton and Holt, and the other members of the Common Council (who represented the ward during the paq year), for their attention to the duties confided to their care.--Carried unanimously. Moved by Mr. Deputy EAGLETON, seconded by Mr. Deputy HOLT : This Wardmote desire to offer to the President, the Treasurer, and the Governors of Christ's Hospital, their best thanks for theit kind ness in allowing the use of their hall for holding this Wardmote.— Carried unanimously. That the foregoing resolutions be signed by the Ward Clerk, and Inserted in the several morning and evening papers. J. W. WARREN, Ward Clerk.

Surrey —Frimley, Bag shot, December 4, 1850.—Au 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 HOLLEST, who for a p niod of 13 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 meats of making a provision for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case of Mrs. Holle , t 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,ed 401. per annum, and subscriptions are earnestly solicited in aid of these inadequate means. Subscriptions will be thankfully received by the following bankers :—Messrs. Henries, 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, Friruley, Bagshot. J. F. Burrell, Esq., Manor House, Frimley. Rev. J.

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 ? Who is this Pope ? Who this Italian priest, at whose feat the Prime Minister of Great Britain lies in the lowest 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 put. It will be put most readily, and with the greatest interest, by those who are acquainted with the " Roman" history of the last few years. Who is Pius the Ninth ? lie is the poorest creature, the veriest driveller, in Christendom. He is utterly de void of brains. He never had any, and therefore cannot be said to have lost them. He is 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 chair. Nature meant him for a very inferior station in life ; for one of a not much higher grade than that which he personated with such complete suc cess, when di.guised in the plush breeches, the big buttoned coat, and the well-powdered wig, of one of his own lacquey s, he escaped from the hands of the Philistines—those Philistines being bis 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 lacquey, 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. Sheil on a special mission to him, with the view of coming to terms on the matters in dispute between his Popeship and the British 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 his audacious intrusion deserved. And this will be, we presume, the way in which he must be dealt with in the end. THE LATE FATAL SEWER ACCIDE 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 sudclin 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 fur the con tractors, Messrs. Humphreys and Thirst ; and the Commissioners of Sewers were represented by Mr. Woolrych, secretary, and Mr. Frank Forster, chief engineer. Mr. Gotto, the district surveyor, was also in attendance. 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 had al - ready done all that could be expected from them in relation to it, and they wire 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 roaer, but it was not read. In reply to questions from the Coroner, Mr. Forster stated that he had in spected the work several times, before the sewer was driven up to the blind dock near Scotland-yard, in order to satisfy himself that the dam was sufficient. The portion of the sewer between the blind dock and Parliament-square being blocked out from Percy wharf, was drained by two small steam-engines and a hand-pump ; 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 mitted 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 of the e ng i nes , being worked out, fail e d, an d the flow of water over powered the other. The work was consequently re tarded on that side. One of the contractors bad in formed him that, anxious to forward the work, he had agreed with their foreman to drive a small " heading" between the two blocked-up ends of the sewer, sepa rated by the bottom of the dock, for the purpose of connecting 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 aught 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, with such a weight of water over it ; but he believed the 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 ven tured upon such a work with three feet of water over it. He'd 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 an expedient to join the two ends of the sever, in order to get rid of the water. lie did not consider it indispensable to make the drift, but it certainly was 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 51h. per square inch, or 7241 be. per square foot. If 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-examined by Mr. Parry—The engine at Percy-wharf was a very powerful one, competent to do the whole work. The drift would have greatly facilitated the works, and, setting aside risk, it wasthe readiest way of getting rid of the water. Two tides loud flawed 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. Perrett, clerk of the works to the contractors, was here recalled, at the request of Mr. Parry, and he stated that in meling the drift great care was taken to plank up the sides as they went on, at distances of 2 feet 6 inches. Ho examined the drift three or four times on Saturday evening, and five or six times on Sunday at high water, to see if any came through, but could detect none. By a Juryman—Witness had never before •driven a drift wider water ; and he had dune no more than was usual in such cases to make it safe, except that there was more timber used to support it. It was in tended to pass a 12 inch pipe through it, as a tem porary measure, to draw the water off from Parlia inent street. This being all the evidence, The CORONFR briefly addressed the jury upon it. He left it to them to say whether the unfortunate men had met their death by a casualty, or whether there had been culpable negligence on the part of any persons. The jury, after forty minutes' consideration, re turned a verdict of "Accidental death by drowning ; " but they added, " the jury cannot separate without expressing their opinion that great negligence is at tributable to Messrs. Humphreys and Thin:, and their foremen, Meyers. Wheeler and Perrott, in not consulting the engineers connected with the works of Victoria sewer."

EQUITABLE, FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,000/. (Incorprated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ar3 —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 highe it importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomtly 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 proached 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 questron, 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.

REPLY OF ALFRED TENNYSON, ESQ. THE NEW POET LAUREATE. . Mosaic Bard 1 your lines, addressed to me, Were not unwelcome lines—how could they be I feel quite proud, in fact, that one like you Should notice me—upon my word I do I Nor would I let this first occasion slip, Of warmly thanking such a brother "chip." I do not wonder at your feeling " nettled," On finding how the " Laureateship" is settled. When first you heard of what I'm new enjoying, The disap?olntmbnt must have been annoying. The wonder is that you so calmly met it, When every one expected "you" to get it ; T > get the berth, I mean, of Laureate Bard, The lens of which you seem to take so hard. But, really, what with one thing and another, You're far more honoured than your laurelled brother. Think for a moment, cousin, what you are— The muse of MOSES, that commercial star. Proud would your brother be if he cou'd jump From his appointed "post" to Aldgate pump. The " c'oth" of MOSES (understand the phrase) Would please me quite as much as my "green bays." Should MOSES, as you've hinted, change his muse, And let me pop into your honour's shoes, Good service to the dress I'll strive to 'do, Although I know I can't come tip to you ; And oft shall MOSES have a rhyming benison, From your exalted brother, ALFRED TENNYSON.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D.. 37. BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It up fertunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from theiA in variable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

" A trial of considerable interest to Life Assurance Offices and the public was concluded yesterday in the Court of Exchequer. The Eagle Company held a policy for an assurance of 539/. in the Albion Company as sceurity for an advanee, the payment of which policy was now di anted by the Albion, on the ground that at the time It was effected the fact of the assured narty having been a man of in temperate habits was concealed from the office. The chief evidence tome unoo the question as to the degree of intemperance that had been exhibited, and the reault was, that a verdict was given against the resisting office, not only far the amount of the policy, but also for 401. interest from the date when 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 tinder the present system, and shows that the only mode by wh'eli absolute security can be obtained by the public must lie in the general adoption by Assuranee Offices of the plan of protelting thera selves in every case by due inquiries before the granting - • 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 future question. In the present case two offices are found to be diametrically opposed in their opinions as to what can properly invalidate a claim, and yet the public are expected to be able to guare themselves against such contingence4. Similar cams 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 founded is the removal of uncertainty, and whenever that principle is counteracted in the slightest degree, the people who would be the first to resort to its advantages are the first to be deterred."—Times, July 11, 1850.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM TELE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. DAILY NEWS.—The North-Western Railway Company, which gives employment at first-class wages to many thousands of workpeople, and which is honourably characterised by the attention which it pays to the religious, moral, 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." So with ship carpenters, so with glass manufacturers, so 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 the good order 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 irregularity and accidents; there would assuredly be a larger amount of wear and tear of engines consequent on any such reduction. First-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 se. 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 being below the demand ; the directorates are much more at the mercy of the drivers than the drivers at theirs; particularly in reference to first doss 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 seenas'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 expira tion 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 workmen. On wages it has only one bearing : if wages 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 employment the full benefit of the rise in a fortnight. And yet there are, it seems, engine-drivers on the North-Western 60 dull and dead to their own pecuniary concerns that they see, 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. But 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 had some experience of a strike, 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 ought 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. For 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- 1 vantage ; but that advantage, thus used tyrannically, will induce the masters to rear up and educate a larger supply of competent men than the demand for them re quires. 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 extreme. 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 British 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, speaking 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 the 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 dispatched to Rome. The result has proved that it was so. It was altogether a most humiliating affair for this country. The Pope waxed more and snore 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 audacious in his demands. What causes us deep mortification, and fills us with amazement, is, that alter the signal failure of the Minto mission, and the discredit which that failure brought upon the British name, the idea should for a moment have entered the mind of the Premier, to send another party on a similar errand. It is not for us to predict the result of the mission of Mr. Sheil. Possibly, it may meet with seeming suc cess. But that success, even supposing it were to be complete, must prove humiliating to every man who glories in the Protestant and English name. The fact is not to be gainsaid, that the Government of Queen Victoria, the Government of the greatest country in existence, exhibits itself to the world in the character of a suppliant at the feet of the Pope. Mr. Sheil, disguise it as the friends of Ministers may, is commissioned, when he reaches the Vatican, to soli cit, as an act of condescension on the part of the Roman Pontiff, that he would withdraw his memo rable Bull of September last, and thereby allay the apprehensions of the Protestant subjects of her Ma i-sty. 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 NSave reign, and th e c h arac t er o f hi s countrY• o wonder though the Vatican became intolerably vain, when toe Government of Great Britain, in the case of Loid iliuto's embassy, a pp e p-,Niin the humiliating attitude 5 0 0, 0 itoti 2 2 1 1 5 0 1 0 - - 0 10 0 - - I'oo hi I 11 1116 giVg 10. --' 0 of oc ei log'
