GEORGE EDWARD HOLLEST, of Fernley, Surrey —Frimley, Bag shot, December 31, 1850. —An earnest APPEAL to public benevolence is respectfully sabinittel by a few friends and neighbours on behalf of the WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD HOLLEST, 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 mesas of making a provisisn 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 hint - an sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a family so fearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of Mrs. Holiest does not exceed 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.; M e ssrs 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 Mandy, Reading; also by the following members of the Com- mittee : R. R. Bayley, Esq., Mitchett, Frimley, Bagshot. J. F. Burrell, 8.q., Manor House, Frimley. Rev. J. IL Clayton, Farnborough, Bagshot. Rev. John Lawrell, Cove, Bagshot. Sir Walter Farquhar, Bart., Farnborough-place, Bagshot. Thomas Longman, Esq.. Farnborough-hill, Bagshot. Captain Charles Edward Mangles, Poyle-park, Farnham, Surrey. The Commiree 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 libtyal manner in which their appeal has been responded to, and they thankfully acknowledge the following ADDITIONAL SUBSCRIPTIONS.

(Incorvrated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 111.) The leading principles of this Office are—Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of rise—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk is 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 riot been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted 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 fmestion, 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, 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 investigaion 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 Clans°.

Noble TOWN MANSION, opening to the Green Park, delightfully situated between Stafrird and Durham Houses, with immediate ------- ----- PRESENTATION OF THE PUR NELL TESTIMONIAL. (From the Gloucester Journal.) • Our readers will recollect that the management of the Private Lunetic Asylums of this county has formed a prominent subject of discussion at the County Quarter Sessions, during the last two years. The County Chairman, P. B. Purnell, E' q., in the discharge of his duty of visitor to the private asylums in the neighbourhood of Bristol, belling detected some abuses, commenced a searching in vestigation, which resulted in the discovery of the most appalling cases of oppression and cruelty. In the face of the most unscrupulous, because inter -sted opposition, he persevered, and the result was the collection of a mass of evidence, which will probably have an important influence in procuring en alteration in the law of lunacy. The admiration not only of the county, but of the country at large, was excited by the devotion with which the county chairman sacrificed hl4 time and repose in the cause of suffering humanity, and !he signally beneficial results of his exertions, not only in tracking out injustice, but in silting the state ments setup in its justification. The Court ot Quarter Sessions, on the conclusion of a series of special investigations, marked their sense of his con duct by en unanimous vote of thanks ; but the public feeling was too strong to be satisfied without creating some more marked memorial of their views. A. public subscription was, therefore, commenced, and on Tuesday last, the chairman was presented, in the name of the sultecribers, with a testimonial, which is at once an enduring mark of public respect, and a beautiful and unique specimen of art. The testimonial consists of a drawing room table, cur mounted by a silver vase. The material of the table is ebony, beautifully inlaid with silver, with a rose wood border. In the centre is a cavity, intended to contain a roll of vellum, bearing an appropriate inscription, and the names of, the subscribers. The cavity is covered by the vase, which is intended to bear flowers. The design is pure Etruscan, the vase being modelled of er these in possession of Sir Henry. Englefiell. The appearance of the testimo =dal is chaste and classical; and competent judges have pronounced it an honourable specimen Hof art. We hear, indeed, that the maker, Me. Han• cock, of Burton-street, London, proposes, with the permission of the owner, to exhibit it at the Industrial Exhibition. The ceremony of presentation took place at the King's Head Hotel, where the testimonial had been previously placed for public inspection. A large number of magistrates, amongst whom, was the Earl of Ellenborough, assembled ; and there was also an array of ladies. Tue following is a report of the'' addresses : Earl FITZmIAUDINGE said—My Lord, Ladies, and Gentlemen, though the task which is at present as signed to me is one of the most agreeable kind, and one in most complete harmony with my own senti ments, yet I find that it is beset with more difficulty than I anticipated—so much so, that I fear that I shall not only not acquit myself to your satisfaction, but that I shall fail in giving satis faction to myself. It is impossible, on this subject, to be wholly client, and yet I know well that the mind of a highly educated gentleman shrinks from the expression of great praise when it is addressed personally to himself, however deserved such en comiums may be. I shall not, therefore, say all I wished to say, or all I think, of the conduct of our county chairman. The vase and the table, the gift of the public of the county, though they are not gifted with speech, are infinently more eloquent tributes to the philanthropy of the chairman than anything that can fall from my lips. For myself, I must be permitted to say, individually, that I derive the greatest gratification in being chosen to discharge the task of presenting this mark of esteem to so old and valued a friend as the county chairman. I feel much ho noured by being selected by the public to become the medium of expressing the sentimentswhich the public are known to hold for one for whom I entertain so high an esteem and sincere a friendship. I, therefore, request you, Mr. Chairman, to accept from the county and the public this testimonial, as a mark of our high sense of gratitude for the perseverance and for the untiring patience which you have exhibited in endeavouring to alleviate the sufferings of our fellow-creatures — sufferings the most appalling of any of all " the ills that flesh is heir to." I can only say for myself, and I am sure that it is the feeling of every one present, that all attempts to inquire into, or put a stop to, abuses which have had the sanction of time, however inconsiderable, always meet opposition, which imposes on persons who attack them a most difficult task. Your path, Mr. Chair man, was beset with difficulty ; you had great obsta cles to encounter; but you were not diverted by difficulties, and you overcame all obstacles is your way. I, therefore, once more request you to accept this as a mark how deeply we feel such services, grateful to God and to man ; and I can, with truth, add, that" the blessing of him who is ready to perish shall come upon thee."—(Cheers.) P. B. PURNELL, Eeq , then rose and said—My Lord Lieutenant, my Lord, and Ladies and Gentle men, I have listened to his Lordship's address with feelings of humility and gratification; of humility, as knowing that I can lay claim only to an anxious endeavour to perform efficiently that task which I had undertaken voluntarily ; and of the highest gratification at the very flattering manner in which my exertions have been appreciated. The necessity for such exer tions having become apparent, the investigations were commenced, wi:h the desire to elicit truth—to relieve unmerited misery—and by exposure, to suppress secret and shameful abuses. Pursued without fear or favour, they created, externally, active, violent, and influential opponents; and inter nally, acute feelings of responsibility and anxiety, both alike difficult to contend with, whilst sights irresistibly impressed on the memory, were continually reproduced to the mind, depressing it with their life-like reminiscences. That they have termi nated in results favourable to others far beyond my most sanguine expectations, and to myself, far beyond any supposed desert, is to be attributed to the decisions in their favour by the highest court in the realm, and the generous support of the public, whose sympathies have been thus evinced in the cause of suffering humanity. And, as assuredly none deserve our tenderest com miseration more than those who, under the inscru table dispensations of Providence, or by the machina tions of man, are immured, insane or sane, in a private lunatic asylum; as none more require that legal protection and support which the existing law appears inadequate to afford, so can legislative relief be alone anticipated from the general ex pression of that commiseration by the public at large. When the same sympathy which has been so pro fusely lavished on transgressors of the laws, convert ing the prison of the felon into a home teeming with comforts unattainable by the honest labourer; when such sympathy shall be equally exerted in favour of this discarded—this desolate—and this helpless class of our fellow-creatures, we may then expect, from the awakened energy of Government, and the wisdom of Parliament, amendment of the law on lu nacy. May a consummation so desirable be speedily realised; and may even a meeting like the present attract some share of general attention, however small, to these genuine objects for the exercise of public philanthropy. May such causeless imprison meats as I have met with, such distressing sights as I have witnessed, such horrible cruelties as have been recounted by me, such abuses as abundantly exist, but are rarely revealed, in Private Lunatic Asylums,— may all such be prevented and suppressed by the effective although tardy intervention of the Legis lature. Forced by your kindness to revert to self, I tender to you my most heartfelt acknowledgments for the splendid testimonial of your approbation of my conduct, now offered by you for my acceptance. I most gratefully receive as such your beautiful and valuable gift, and respectfully assure you that I shall ever feel what I deem to be an honest pride in its possession ; end shall leave it, with the record of its contributors, as a priceless heirloom to my posterity. possession.

FIFTY AND 'FIFTY-ONE. he Nineteenth Century is now equally divided. The last day of the first Fifty years has b.en sung out, and the first day of the succeeding Fifty has been rung in. The departure of one year, and the advent of another, are ever regarded with feelings of world. The century is looked u lu po te n re a s s t ; an at e ld po t c h h e The statesman, the historian, the phi loso p hrr, and the moralist, a c in in t i h n e en h e is em tor e ; it of o t f he a are equally alive to the importance and interest attaching to such a conjuncture. The dawning of the present year is viewed with unusual interest, not merely because it is the initial year of a new half century, but, likewise, because it is to be distinguished by one of the most extra ordi ary events (if not the most extraordinary) that has ever transpired. It will net be expected that MOSES and SON will remain silent at a moment like the present; more especially when it is recollected that the Proprietors make a practice at this season of acknowledg ing past obligations in trade, and soliciting future favours with are • assurance of future endeavours. It mast be evident to everybody, that ever since E. MOSES and SON commenced, there has been a certain, unfluctuating progres sion in their trade. Like as the quicksilver of the thermometer rises in its glass, as the day opens and warms, has the trade of E. MOSES and SON risen year after year beneath the warm support of an ap proving Public. That such a simile is not a mere hyperbole, the discerning Public have abundont proof—proof too clear and conclusive to be disputed by any candid observer. The Parent Speculation of E. MOSES and SON in the City has spread and spread year after year, till it has besot= the most gigan tic trading house in the world. Aeain t so great has been the demand for the advantages held out by the Proprietors, that two imp-TWA towns in Yorkshire (Brad ford and Sheffield) have been made the scenes of still further opera ' tions ; for the success attending which, E. MOSES and soar nave had to make distinct and special acknowledgments in the annual ad dresses of previous years. Thus far it is evident that each succeeding year has surpassed its predecessor in the public support realized by the Proprietors. Nor can less be, with truth, asserted of the year which has just expired. Eighteen Hundred and Fifty has been distinguished by the opening of a vast West-end leraach Dre.s Mart, the opening of which was hinted at in the annual address of last year. To each of the Establishments thus referred to, the year Eighteen Hundred and Fifty has been a year of undoubted prosperity ; prospe rity of which the proprietors fled it difficult to convey an adequate ides, and prosperity for which they find it utterly impossible to make an adequate return in the present circular. There is one satisfac tion, however, namely—that were the Proprietors to occupy whole coafinns of the public prints in expressing the sincerity of their ac knowledgments, the public would consider their professions as utterly valueless, were their acknowledgments unaccompanied by corroborative merits. It is but reasonable to conclude that an im pertial and enlightened public would not have supported E. MOSES and SON to the extent which they have done, were there not some sterling inducements held out by the Proprietors. It is admitted on all hands, that the secret of the success which E. MOSES and SON have realised, lies in the excellence and ele gance of their attire, coupled with the exceelingly moderate prices at which the articles are sold. That such advantages shall be extended la the year 1851, the public need not question. Teat Grand Exhibition, which the Ame rican President has denominated " The World's Fair," has not been overlooked by E. MOSES and SON. It is ditlicJit to conceive what will be the result of such en Exhi bition; but e hatever that result may be, E. MOSES and SON are bent on distinguishing themselves in no ordinary manner. The pre sent year has not come upon the proprietors unawares. From the very moment that her Majesty's Royal Consort gave birth to his comprehensive conception, E. MOSES and SON have been on the alert in preparing a stock of attire of every descripton, such as no preceding year has a finessed. For immensity of stock, variety of assortment, quality and beauty of cloth, novelty and elegance of fashion, and surprising ch apuess, E. MOSES and SON will be found to be unequalled. The Proprietors would here Intimate, that 'he moment the Royal Commissioned commenced its operations, or as soon as the Great Ex hibition was first mentioned, they put themselves in communication with the wincipal manuacturers in woollen and other fabrics, and that they have succeeded, by means of awarding liberal prizes, in securing some of the most tasty and novel materials for gentlemen's dress, which will be ready for exhibition at the commencement of the ensuing Spring Season. By thni - exiending the advantages of their trade, the Proprietors intend to recompense a liberal public, and secure a continuance of support, so abundantly realised a present. As the West-end Branch Establishment was a proJeot of the past year, E. MOSES and SON" are induced to make a special allusion to it. The support which this speculation has received, far, im measurably far, exceeds even what the Proprietors themselves had anticipated ; such triumphant support has here been achieved by E. MOSES and SON, as fully convinces them that this opening was none other than a step in the right direction. Heartily acknowledging this special proof of EUCCOSS, E. MOSES and SON would conclude, hoping that, by the industry of all nations, the amity of a:1 nations will be happily promoted in the year 1851. FRAMPTON'S PILL of HEALTH. Price Is. lid. per box.

RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. - MID KENT AND DOVER RAILWAY (LAND OWNERS' LINE.) A numerous and influential meeting of landowners, occupiers, and inhabitants of the eastern division of Bent, between Canterbury and Dover, was held yes terday at the Town-hill, Dover, to take into consi deration the project of supporting the Mid-Kent and Dover Railway Bill now before Parliamf - nt. Cite chair was taken by the Mayor, J. Finnis, Esq., and the following were among the landowners pre- ' sent : Toe High Sheriff of the county, M. Bell , E - q ., Mr. E. Re Rice, M.P., Admiral D'Acth, Sir Brooke Br dge, Bert., General Sir Francis Cockburn, Dr. Seu!by, Dr. Sillery, E. Jones, E,q., Rev. Themes Aloriis ' S. M. Latham, Esq ., 0. Snoultee, James Walker, Esq., J. B. Knocker, &el., &c. The CHAIRMAN having opened the businees of the meting by express.sing his approval of the scheme, Mr. E. KN':CRER and Mr. MEADOWS WHITE, the solicitors to the landowners, who are promoters Of the Bill, entered into an explanation of its provisions, and stated that the capital was ready fir advance at four per cent. interest, and that if the landowners and in habitants of those portions of the county which were destitute of railway communication, were willing o give their sanction to the undertaking, every effort would be made for its successful accomplish ment. Sir F. CoorinuaN proposed the first resolution, " That in the opinion of this meeting a direct and safe line of railway from London to Dover, connect ing with its terminus the naval and military depots in the country, is of great national importance, and will be of the utmost benefit to this town and port, and the districts to be served by it."—(Hear, hear.) The advantages of a protected line of railway from London to Dover, both for private and national pur poses, would be so great that he cordially gave his assent to the proposition, and he hoped that all the landowners throughout the county would use their influence to secure it.—(dear, hear.) Mr. RICE, M.P., seconded the resolution. He was not fond of making predictions, but he assured his brother landowners, that if the Mid Kent and Dover line was not carried through Parliament this year, the county would never rest satisfied until it was car ried.—(Hear, bear.) None who knew anything of the districts through which the Mid Kent and Dover line was to pass, could doubt the necessity which ex isted for another, and a direct line of railway from London to Rover.—(Hear, hear.) He believed that the county generally, and the public at both sides of the Channel, would be largely benefited by the railway, and he felt he would only be doing his duty, by , giving the undertaking the most cordial as sistance in his power. re solu- Sir BROOKE BRIDGES, Bart., supported , ould flan. lie had a thousand acres of la nd std ichhe " could be affected by the provisions o f the Bill, ; to ca have to it the.capital uainty be raised, because he was convin tages to be gained by h is property of the railway wou ld more than _overba o. la i nce an pose os sible contribution in the shage of a rate n aid. y advised every landholder in the county to support the guarantee.—(l-tear.) The resolution was carried unanimously. The HIGH SHERIFF proposed the next resolution, declaring that the project was based upon sound and enduring principles, and afforded in its details every guarantee fo public and private advantage, and was therefore des r erving of the cordial support of the land owners and occupiers of the several pariehes traversed and contiguous to the line. He was one of the, trustees of the railway project, and was fully ac• qusioted with its details. The rrintAple on which it tree to, bei constructed au& wurksd was precisely similar to that on which all the public works of the eenpire were conducted, and it was brought before the pablie'yeith these additional considerations, that it was not a scheme fur private profit, but that its olject was to afford communication where none now existed, and to facilitate the intercourse between the - metropolis and the continent.—(Hear, hear.) The Railway Commissioners had already reported most strongly in favour of a direct line' of railway, conueotiDg the r naval and military arsenals with the metropolis, and the requirements of the district were so pressing that Parliament could not witLfhold its assent to the under taking.—(Hear.) JAMES WALKER, E3C, seconded - the resolution, which was carried with acclamation. Admiral D'AcrEt proposed the next xesolution, to the effect that the principle of the econtingent,guaran tee in which the project was brought forward and based, appeared to the meeting to be reasonable and just, and in accordance with the recognised rules of our social economy, and that it cordially approved of the meaaure now projected, and pledges itself to give it all the support in its power. The resolution was carried, as were several others, after which the meeting separated. DUBLIN AND GALWAY RAILROAD.—It is DOW all but certain that the line of railway communication between Dublin and Galway will he completed early in June. The Glwegians sre flattering themselves with the assurance that the Americans visiting the great Exhibition of 1851 will take Galway en route. RAILWAY SIIA.RE MARKETS. BRISTOL, JAw. 9.

THE STORM ON THE SOUTLI•WESTERN COAST. PLYMOUTH, JAN. 9.—Yesterday this town and neighbourhood was viqted by a very severe storm, the wind blowing terrifically, and rain falling in torrents. The slates end tiles flew off in all directions. One chimney stack was blown down in Notte-street, for tunately without doing any damage. During the day some anxiety was felt for the homeward-bound ships in the Channel, the sea running very high, and the storm continuing without any abatement. In the coursa of the afternoon the Three Brothers, Mr. Peak master, belonging to Mr. Yee, laden with corn from tha Mediterranean, got on the rocks at Deadman's Bey, where she remained for several hours until the flow of the tide, when she was got off with £OlllO amount of damage.
