GEORGE EDWARD HOLLEST, of Frimley, Surrey.—Frimley, Bag shot, December 4, 1850.—As; 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 BOLLES I', who for a period of 14 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 means of making a provision for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case of Mrs. liolle.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 fearluily 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 he thankfully received by the following bankers :—Messrs. }ferries, 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 smiare ; Messrs. Mangles Brothers; Guildford; Messrs. Stevens and Mandy, Reading; also by the following members of the Com mittee : It. It. Bayley, Esq., Mitchett, Frimley, Bagshot. J. F. Burrell, Manor House, Frimley. Rev. J. H. Clayton, Farnborough, Bagshot. Rev. John Lawrell, Cove, Baxshot. • Fir Walter Farquhar, Bart., Farnborough-place, Bagshot. Thomas Longman, Esq., Farnborough-hill, Bagshot. Captain Charles Edward Mangles, I'oyle-park, Farnham, Surrey. The Coramit , ee have the satisfaction to state that her Majesty the Queen, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Bishop of Winchester, hay. sanctioned their exertions by very liberal donations. - - Nowmftn, Eev.

Since May to the present time 109 have died. "Rear-Admiral Austin, Commander-in-Chief in the East, arrived here in her Majesty's ship Hastings on the 10th inst. "By an express this morning from Macao we learn that a fearful and melancholy occurrence took place there yesterday, the 29th inst. It was the anniver sary of the birth of the Consort of t tugal. The Portuguese frig Maria fired the usual salute at noon. captain and all the officers but two were on board, and it is said some officers from the United States ship Marion, all of whom were to have dined at 3 o'clock on board the Portuguese frigate. About half-past 2 o'clock the latter vessel blew up, and officers and men, about 200 in number, perished, with the exception of one officer and 15 men, picked out of the water by the boats of the Marion. We have not heard whether this vessel has sustained injury. A fatality seems to attend all matters connected with Macao ! " Our latest accounts from Canton mention that the force sent by Government against the rebels had been defeated, and that one or two mandarins had been killed. " It is difficult to conjecture what the issue of the present state of things will be ; in the meantime it causes great interruption to trade. In one of the pro vinces an edict against Christianity has been issued by the Prefect. It pronounces Christianity to be illegal, incredible, and absurd. " Our dates from Shanghai are to the 18th of October. " No political news is advised. "In tea the transactions have been considerable both in Canton and at Shanghai. At the former place 115 chops Congou settled at very full prices ; at the latter large transactions had taken place both in black and green for the American market. The total export from China to date is 24,000,0001 b., nearly the same as last year. This includes an excess in the ex port of green of nearly 700,0001 b. " There have been considerable transactions in silk, at former rates. The export from China to date is about 8,000 bales, against 3,700 bales to the same period last year. Very little of No. 1 and 2 Tsatlee remains over. It is very confidently asserted that the total export of the season will not exceed that of last year. " Import market at Canton improved ; that of Changhai rather languid. " Captain Barker, of her Majesty's brig Serpent, has been promoted to her Majesty's ship Amazon. Lieutenant Luard, first of the Hastings, to the Ser pent. " Her Majesty's steamer Sphynx arrived here from Singapore on the 21st. "In harbour—Her Majesty's ship Hastings and steamer Sphynx. At Whampoa, the Amazon. Ser pent relieves the Contest at Amoy. Her Majesty's screw-steamer Re,ynard by the last accounts was at Shanghai, also her Majesty's brig Pilot. " Our latest dates are—from England, the 24th August; Calcutta, the 10th of September; Bombay, ,he 18th of September; Singapore, the 9fl of Oc ober ; and New Souai Wales, the 33 of Angus`."

W. - 0 10 (From the Overland Bombay Times of Saturday, Nov. 16.) SUMMARY.—The cold weather has now fairly set in at Bombay. The Commander•in-Chief returned yes terday to the Presidency ; the Governor is expected next week. Sir C. Napier has by this time left Simla on his way from India; he comes down by the Indus through Sinde, and will in all likelihood embark as formerly at Kurrachee. He thus closes a promising, and on the whole in many respects a highly merito rious career, unpopularly. The promotion of the sepoys of the Bengal army to the rank of officers, and their advancement afterwards on the principle of seni ority—a thing unknown in the other Presidencies, has long been by almost unanimous consent regarded as the great stumbling-block European officers had to deal with; this Sir C. Napier has continued—he was universally expected to have extinguished it. Tha Governor-General is now on his way to Lahore and Peshawur. Sir George Berkeley, it is said, will tender his resignation of the Madras command on the arrival of Sir W. Gotnm—declining to be under the orders of an officer so much his junior. Sir George Anderson is supposed to have about this time arrived at Ceylon—the appointment seems eminently acceptable to those over whom he has been placed. His retirement seems to have occasioned deep and universal regret at the Mauritius. The Nepaulese Ambassador arrived here on the 6th by the Feroza from Slice. He was entertained in state by Sir W. Yardley on the evening of the Bth, and by Sir E. Perry on the 9th; he left on the 14th for the holy city of Dwarka, in Kattiawar, on a pilgrimage, in the steamer Atalanta. On his return thence he will pro ceed direct to Calcutta. Tidings of the death of his kinswoman the Queen of Nepaul have thrown him and his suite into deep mourning. The small iron steamer Nimrod, belonging to Government, having been lengthened and enlarged at Bombay for service on the Indus, left on the 22d August for Kurrachee ; she was overtaken by severe weather, and wrecked on the coast of Kattiawar on the 26th. A large fire ball was seen from Bombay to burst on the evening of the 6th ; it left a tail and nucleus behind it, which were visible for twenty minutes, and were mistaken for a cornet.

(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office, ar3 —Moderate and equitable Rates us Premium for each class or risk—Annual division of Profits. the difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Preralum to risk in Itisarauce 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 highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the trur 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 aroacheil through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted fin, 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 nuestion, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Averiige, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to tii• 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 investigalon 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 ally of its Agents. DENTAL SURGERY.—DISSOLUTION OF PARTNERSHIP.

Mosaic Bard ! 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 wont I do I Nor would I let this flrst 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 now enjoying, The disap?ointment must have been annoying. The wonder is that you so calmly met it, When every One expected " yore' to get it ; T get the berth, I mean, of Laureate Bard, The loss of which you seem to take s) 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 Prom 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 up to you ; And oft shall MOSES have a rhyming benison, From your exalted brother, ALFRED TENNYSON.

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con- Sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of aTt, alike restrict him and prevent his - seeking for assistance where • alone it can be procured.

Cap tain G. Elliot, sailed from Spithead this morning for Lisbon, with dispatches and supernumeraries far the squadron of Commodore Martin. The Hogue, 6Q. Captain M'Dougall, got steam up this morning at ten o'clock, and tried speed at the measured mile in Stokes Bay until two P.M. The Amphitrite, 26, Captain Frederick, has been un docked to day and placed in the basin for rigging, &c., where she has been masted and commissioned. The Eurydice, 26, has been brought down from the ordinary to-day and placed in the old basin, in readiness for docking to undergo a thorough overhaul, and, if ne cessary, repair, prior to recommission. Mr. Sabben, assistant-surgeon of the dockyard, has discovered a method for preventing corrosion, oxidation, &c., of iron tanks, shot, &. The process is by means of a covering of zinc, and is extremely simple as well as inexpensive, taking into consideration the immense de struction and corrosion from oxidation, more particularly in ships' tanks, which are now constantly requiring clean ing out and repairing. The perfect success of this in vention, it must be admitied, can only be safely tested by time; at present, however, it has received the most favourable opinion of scientific men. The report of the proceedings which occurred at the trial of Major Bartleman, of the 44th Bengal Na tive Infantry, have been published ; the imputations preferred against him were given in our last. The gallant officer, it may be remembered, was charged with scandalous and infamous conduct, in having, under the cloak of an almost paternal authority, with which he had been entrusted by her father, endea voured to seduce the affections sf the wife of Lieute nant Shelton, of the 33d Native Infantry. The matter appears to have stood thus :—Mrs. Shelton was the daughter of Dr. Laughton, formerly a teacher at Simla, and who in this capacity laid Major Bartleman under obligations to him by the care he had taken of V. sickly boy. She had been for some years married to Lieutenant Shelton, of the 33d Na tive Infantry. The union, of which several children had been the fruit, appears of late to have been an unhappy one. The husband seems to have fallen into intemperate habits, and the quarrels in the family were frequent and noto rious. In January last the unhappy couple were the guests of Major Bartleman, to whom before this they had been but slightly known, and while such, the con duct of the husband to his wife and host was occa si•rnally such as to induce him to volunteer a full written apology to the latter for what had occurred. In February he proceeded to Singapore on sick leave for the benefit of his health, leaving his wife behind him at Calcutta, where she appeared to prefer resid ing alone, although she had friends at no great dis tance. About this time she wrote to her father com plaining of her husband's ill-usage, and appeared desirous of a separation. Dr. Laughton wrote in reply, under cover to Major Bartleman, exhorting his daughter to a reconciliation, and entreating her to use her best endeavours to soothe the mind and regain the affections of her husband. He reminded her that her lot had now been cast with his, and that nothing but extreme necessity should ever in duce her to think of leaving him. .To Major Bartle man, who was his senior, and had been twice a widower, and might therefore have been supposed capable of being entrusted with such a charge, he wrote thanking him for the kindness he had shown his daughter, and committing her hi case of extre mity to his protection. Lieutenant Shelton was re peatedly written to by Major Bartleman during his absence, and the circumstances mentioned that he had taken Mrs. Shelton to a ball, and was hi the habit of driving out with her in the morning, adding that be had recommended her to joie her friends at Kish naghur, but that she preferred apparently sojourning at Calcutta. Mr. Shelton returned from Singapore early in July, but does not appear to have expressed any dissatisfaction with the conduct of his wife. On the 16th of August Major Bartleman wrote him a note declining the continuance of his acquaintance; on what grounds does not appear, and Mr. Sh-ltou expressed his regret at the loss of his friend , hip. Friendly relations between the parties seem soon after wards to have been renewed ; on the 22 , 1, and again on the 23d of August, Major Bartleman drove Mrs. Shelton in his buggy from Barrackpore to Cal cutta, by invitation of her husband. On the latter of these days Mr. Shelton found on his wife's pillow a letter addressed to her by Major Bartleman, such as a devoted husband might have written to his wife —such as none but an accepted lover would have written to his mistress. The unhappy couple imme diately proceeded to Calcutta, to consult a lawyer as to what was to be done. On their return they met with Major Bartlernin; high words passed bet %Ten then', when the Major preceded them on horseback to their home, and there awaited their arrival. The husband forbade his entrance—the wife accepted his arm. When inside he was repeatedly ordered to the door; he persisted in remaining, a; he wished to have some explanations with Mrs. Shelton. Driven to fury at thus being defied and insulted in his own house, Mr. Shelton rushed to his bed-roam and brought out a pistol, which he snapped at Major Bar tleman. That officer seized him, wrested the pistol from his hand, pushed him down, and beat him with a whip; the table was upset in the scuffle, aid was called for in vain, and a fearful scene, apparently in the presence of the lady, ensued. The pistol turned out to have been loaded—it was fired off by Major Birdman, whose life just before had been so nearly jeopardised. Having quitted the house at length, he soon after returned and placed Mr. Shelton under arrest. Some hours after this he induced Colonel Pettingal, com manding the 33d, to permit the arrest to be removed, a fresh arrest having been imposed by this officer immediately afterwards. A circumstance very ma terial to the character of the intercourse between the parties came out on the examination ; that on the 22d of August, the day before the letter was written, the discovery cf which first awakened suspicion in the mind of the husband, and led to the explosion, Major Bartleman had put himself in the hands of his law adviser, who had engaged counsel to defend the action he expected to be brought against him in the civil court. Mrs. Shelton appears, in defiance of the known wish of her husband, to have encouraged the visits both of Major Bartleman and a Mr. Downing, and to have taken legal advice as to whether she might be deprived of her children. Here the matter for the present stands, the decision of the court-martial is in the hands of the Commander-in-Chief; from the evidence and the defence it appears that nothing has been adduced sufficiently strong to bear out the charges in the very strong form in which they are worded, or that the prisoner will be convicted of the "infamous" conduct imputed to him.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the 2d to the 15th of Nov. inclusive.) BOMBAY, FRIDAY EVENING, Nov. 15. Since our last money has not been in much more in quiry, and the banks having raised their rates of interest 1 per cent. all round looks more like a precautionary measure than nny thing (Ise. Timid people are, how ever, anticipating considerable tightness in the beginning of the year. Government securities have fallen in value, and the following are the quotations:-Sicca Fives 1031 to 104; Sitters Fours, 87; Company's Fives, 99} to i; Company's Fours, 833- to 84. The share market is dull, few transfers taking place. The rates of the day are- Bank of Borabay, 191- per cent. premium; Oriental Bank, 163 per cent. discount; Commercial Bank, 8 per cent. discount; and Agra Bank, 2 per cent. discount. The report by the auditors of the Oriental Bank has just been published, and it represents the business of the company at all its branches to be sound and satisfactory. In our import market a rather considerable amount of business has been done, holders having come down some what in their rates in order to be able to avail themselves of the extremely favourable rate of exchange ruling for some time past. The Dewallee holidays having terminated has ulso tended to an increase of business, but the native dealers have not yet entered the market as freely as might Ihave been expected. There has been but one arrival, the Owen Glendower from London, since our last. The export of cotton during the fortnight has been to a tolerably large extent. Piece Goods-Prices for most descriptions of piece goods having been lowered by holders, a pretty fair busi ness has been transacted in them. Up-country suppliers have not as yet entered the market, and it is expected that when they commence purchasing prices may again improve.

This vessel was lost on her passage from South ampton to New York. She was a new iron boat, built two years since by Prim, of Hull. She bad already made two successful trips between Hamburgh and :New York. She left Southampton on the Ist ult. with a valuable cargo and 180 souls on board. The passengers and crew were principally Germans. She was discovered by the American packet Devon shire, Captain Hovey, after having been beating about in great distress for eight days. In the at tempt to rescue the persons on board the steamer, four of the crew of the Devonshire, and five of the passengers of the Helena Sloman were lost. From the time of the Helena Sloman's depar ture from Southampton, on the let of November, until the 19th, nothing worthy of note occurred. On the evening of the 19th she encountered a fearful gale, which she braved gallantly until eleven P.M., when a heavy sea struck her on the stern and starboard quarter, causing her to quiver from stem to sterm. The rudder was then found to have parted from the ship. The steam was then blown off. Considerable uneasiness now prevailed—rudder lost, stern-post gone, ship leaking, propeller not able to be worked by her sails, owing to ber great lengils (226 feet). On the 21st and 22d the gale was most violent, and the pumps were worked without intermission by means of the engine. On the 22d a distress rudder was tried and found to be wholly inefficient. At tea a.m. on that day a barque was seen about ten miles distant, with all sails set, and steering west. Distress signals were hoisted on board the Helena Sloman without success. About three P.M. the crew came aft, and begged permission to lower the boats and pull for the barque. The captain, thinking it useless, and their inability to reach the barque impracticable, refused. After much discussion amongst the crew, which was likely to end in a mutiny, the crew *te tra:need. At sunset the captain and crew of the Helena Simian succeeded in getting her head round, but all to no purpose. On Thursday, the 28th, all was Joy on board at the announcement of a sail in sight. Signals were made, which were happily ob served on board the sail, and which sail turned out to be the American packet Devonshire. As soon as the Devonshire came near the Helena Sloman she commenced rendering assistance, and succeeded in saving all the passengers and crew, with the excep tion of five ; but, in her noble endeavour, she lost four of her own crew. The captain of the Helena Sloman remained on board until the last, and he wished his men, who were alongside in the boats waiting for him to come on board, so that they might be enabled to testify that the ship was sinking, but they refused ; and he then saved all the papers he could, and then left her to her fate. She sunk soon afterwards. List of persons drowned :—The names of the four of the crew of the Devonshire wbo were lost in the noble endeavour to save the crew and passengers of the Helena Sloman were as follows :—Mr. Johnsco, third mate of the Devonshire; John Hasson, of Lon donderry; George Riley, of Hull; and Daniel Mac arthur, of Montreal, seamen. The names of the pas sengers of the Helena Sloman who were lost were— Mr. Shelson, of Mecklenburg ; Dr. Lutz, of Heil bron ; Augusta Rozenbuck, of Mecklenburg; Jobs Popake, of Mecklenburg ; and Henry Otterburg, o Hanover. The English passengers who joined the Helena Sloman at Southampton were—Mr. Sladden and bis wife, Mr. John Young, Mr. J. F. Geary, Mr. Stehi len, and Mr. Busher. THE PRESS AND THE PAPACY.—Those who would if they could, bring us again under the yoke of superstition, may ascribe the opposition which they encounter in their designs to the agency of the arch-enemy ; but the real truth is, that the only devil they have to contend with is the printer's.—Punch.
