By order, JOH , : F. KENNELL, Secretary. Offices, London Terminus, Fenchurch-street, 17th December, 1850. THE WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD lIOLLEST, of Frimley. Surrey.—Frimley, Bag shot, December 4, MO.—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 EI)WARD HOLIES I', who for a p , riod 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. 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 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. Berries, 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.

Taylor and Bright's Circular states:—Since our last the weather has remained mild and damp, and we must again report a dull trade for all articles. At to day's market we had a good supply of wheat from the farmers, mostly in moderate condition, and to effect sales a decline of is per quarter had to be submitted to on such descriptions, but good dry samples could not be bought lower than last week. In foreign wheat there was little or nothing doing, holders of landed parcels not caring about forcing off their stocks, and the arrivals not being large. Barley was quite neglected, except the finest sorts for malting. Oats are scarce. Beans and peas go off very slowly. The linseed market is well sup ported, and for cakes a fair demand considering the mildness of the season. Rapeseed supports our quota tions, as do also cakes if of fine quality.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0 0 01. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office am —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 trentiura 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 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 n, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this euestion, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Aver,ge, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant anals sis of its own experience, from time to tip• e, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Pr , nerty on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause. Prospectuses. and every information may be obtained, on applica tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents. tt National Loan Fund Life Asearance Society. * Equitable Fire t * Both Offices. MUTUAL ASSURANCE. QCOTTISH WIDOWS' FUND AND LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. The members of this Society have the benefit of an invested Capi ,al of upwards of TWO MILLIONS TWO HUNDRED AND FOUR THOUSAND POUNDS, which has arisen solely from the accumulation of their own Pre miums. An investigation into the affairs of the Society takes place Septen nially, when, after setting aside a sum sufficient to meet the obliga tions (the extent of which Is accurately ascertained by calculation), the remaining surplus or profit Is allocated as follows : Two-thirds thereof are allocated among the members ; and The remaining third is reserved as a guarantee fund till next in vestigation, when it is incorporated with the profits, then to be allo cated In like manner. It will thus be seen that the whole profits belong to and are appro priated for behoof of the assured, while they have also the benefit of a large Guarantee Fund, which efts Aually places the stability of the Society beyond the reach of doubt. As a proof not only of the sate bads upon which all the calculations are founded, but also of the care exercised by the Directors in the ad mission only of good livf s to the benefits of the Society, it may be stated that the number of deaths, as reported to the last General Meeting of Members, was only in the ratio of 63 for each 100 that might have been expected according to the tables of mortality upon which the calculations are based. The Amount of new Assurances effected annually during the last twelve years has, on an average, exceeded HALF A MILLION STERLING PER ANNUM. " Probably a larger average than has yet been attained by almost any other office, and such as affords the true test by which to prove the estimation in which it is held by the public." N.B. No Member is entitled to participate in the Profits of the So ciety, unless the Policy be of five years' standing. The books of the Society close for the current year on the 31st December, and policies effected before that time have the advantage of a full years standing over those delayed beyond it.

LIFE DEPARTMENT.—Under the provisions of an Act of Par liament, recently obtained, this Company now offers to future In surers a low Rate of premium without participation in Profits; or a moderate scale of premiums with four-fifths of the Profits to be de rived from all Assurances hereafter effected. The divisions of Profits which heretofore have been made Septen nially will in future be made Quinquennially, the first of such divi slims to be declared in June 18a5, when all participating policies which shall have subsisted at least one year at Christmas 1854, will be allowed to share in the profits. At the several past divisions of profits made by this Company, he reversionary Bonuses added to the policies from one half the profits amounted, on an average of the different ales, to about 1 per cent. per annum on the sums insured, and the total bonuses added to the four septennial divisions exceeded 770,0001. FOREIGN RISKS.—The extra Premiums required for the East and West Indies, the British Colonies, and tke northern parts of the United States of America, have been materially reduced. LOANS granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro vided such Policies shall have been effected a sufficient time to have Attained in each case a value not under 501. In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of profit was declared n the sth of June, upon the premiums received on all Policies which had been in force seven years at Christmas 1849, and the same snow in course of payment daily (Friday and Saturday excepted), between the hours of ten and three o'clock, at the Head Office ; and A;se by the Agents in the Country Districts. Notice is hereby given, that Assurances which expire at Christmas must be renewed within fifteen days at this Office, or with Mr. Sams, No. 1, St. James's-street, corner of Pall-mall, or with the Company's Agents throughout the Kingdom, otherwise they be come void. GEORGE KEYS, Secretary. CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTII ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England. and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for MM.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the let of Jane, 1249, and the 31st of Stay, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve mouths preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 39. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 1 ls. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,990/. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411. ls., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,9911. 15s. 11d. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,1831. 11s. 10d. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Paris's, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results ani 1 future prospects. - 11 - OYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. s au Lecture by Dr. Bachhoffner on Voltaic Electricity, in which will be exhibited Allman's Patent Electric Light, daily at Two, and on Tuesday and Thursday Evenings at Nine.—Lecture by J.

GARDNER'S WORM MEDICINE. It is a melancholy fact that thousands are suffering the pri vation of health, and are ultimately brought to a premature death by a cat se so prevalent as that of worms in the human body. It is proved by the bills of mortality that oae-half of the children born are cut off before attaining their seventh year. The source of this fearful mortality i 3 found to exist in that foul state of the stomach t a i n o d n b of ow lv e o ls rm w s h . ich Th ch e i f l o d u re r n m a o r , e tt s: mn lia m b o le n top,eacinesd produces the genera- ASCARIDES VERMICULARIS, commonly called Maw or Thread Worm, is about half-an-inch in length, and the thickness of a thread. They infest every part of the alimentary canal, but principally the lower extremity of the bowels, occasioning pain. Their increase is most rapid; and the number existing in one individual is often incredible, and this in persons of all ages. TRICURIS VULGARIS, or long Thread Worm, is about two inches in length, and tapers down from the head to the tail ; they are not so common as the former. These also infest the whole ali mentary canal, and are equally tormenting. TERES LUMBRICOIDES, or long round W orms, are g enerally from 4 to 12 inches in length, of the substance of a goose-quill.

WHO ROLLED THE POWDER IN ? (From the Portsmouth Times and Naval Gazette.) We have discussed the great question which is agitating Englishmen not as a question of Protestant doctrine against Catholic doctrine, albeit, if the lead- 1 ing article of a newspaper were the proper place for entering on such a discussion, we are quite prepared to do so. That there may be no mistake on this head let us state distinctly that we are Protestants. We I have confined ourselves to the:advocacy of the great principle of civil and religious libarty—a principle which the people, in a state of alarm and agitation, have recognized over and over again by the repetition of a form of words, but by their very attitude prove they do not carry out in practice. The alarm and agitation—the explosion of Protestant zeal, was of course preceeded by preparations. Who assisted in these preparations ? In fact " who rolled the powder in ?" Unquestionably the Tractarians ; and amongst this party no one stood for a time more prominent than the now Bishop of Oxford. He and his brothers have been on " the very verge of the precipice "—one has already slipt over, and the Bishop of Oxford has been, and is still making desperate efforts to recover his position. When a man is attacked and hotly pursued—pushed, in fact, to " the very verge of the precipice," he naturally /urns round and fights manfully for the only resting place left to him—he deals heavy blows, and repeats them in rapid succession, and then, pressed by the number of his pursuers, these blows become random hits, deadly in their power when they take effect, but wanting in that skill which a more advantageous battle-field might afford an opportunity of displaying. This is precisely the position of some of the leaders of the Tractarian party. That,Dr. Samuel Wilberforce, Bishop of Oxford, ' was for some years a prominent member of this party, is a fact well known to all those of our readers who live within sight of the Rectory of Alverstoke. The alterations made by him in the ceremonies of that church was a subject of continual conversation and anim adversion in this locality, and it became manifest that as regards external signs and peculiarity of doctrine, the rector, his curates, and his flock, were rapidly becom ing Roman Catholics. We perfectly remember the discussion which followed the removal of Dr. Wil berforce to the cathedral of Westminster, and shortly after this his translation to the see of Oxford. Men speculated regarding the course he would pursue— the favour with which Puseyites would be treated, and they playfully plumbed the depth of the sincerity of a bishop's frown on those doctrines, forms, and ceremonies which a rector had inculcated, enforced, and practised. From this period to the period of the arrival of the Pope's Bull, Dr. Wilberforce is said by all men to have been "on the very verge of the precipice." The Tractarian rector became a Trac tarian bishop, but paradoxical as it may appear, although in this latter position he enjoyed increased ecclesiastical power—by this very power his wings were clipped, and it became more difficult to show forth his peculiar views. Men have always looked upon him with suspicion. He never did anything to remove this suspicion ; at least be never did so in a hearty, straightforward manner. How could the Bishop of Oxford, as such, denounce those doctrines which, as Rector of Alverstoke, he had been instrumental in desseminating ? How could he frown down the efforts of snen, who would havo turned round and cried, " Thou dids't help to teach me ?" How could be tell Dr. Pusey that he was un dermining the Protestant Church, when the sap was pushed onwards by himself before he became Bishop of Oxford ? We marvel not, therefore, that Tracta rianism continued to be tolerated at Oxford, or that Bishop Wilberforce now says that he is " on principle and by disposition E 0 largely tolerant of others." But is this a fact ? Verily, out of his own mouth shall he be judged. He says—" Who needs now to be told that there is no weapon that it is not judged lawful to use by those who are now arrayed against us ? who needs to be told that Romanism is a system which so saps honesty in men's minds that there is nothing dis honest that is not thought holy ?" We simply ask is this in accordance with the spirit of Protestantism ? Is this in accordance with what most men mean when they contend that they are to lerant towards one another ? We have always thought tolerance was the result of an intellectual process which disposes a person to be patient and in dulgent towards those whose opinions and practices differ from his own, provided such opinions are sin cerely maintained, and such practices spring from up right motives. To reprobate and denounce others merely because their actionss, honestly meant, and opinions, sincerely maintained, differ from our own, is intolerance. To anathematise, then, five-sixths of the people of Ireland and one-third of our own fellow-citizens, is not a specimen of tolerance. To excommunicate all these people from the list of honest, conscientious men, we say, is a speci men of intolerance. To tell Roman Catholics that their form of religious belief renders them so dishonest that they are not fit to be associated with ; that their code of morality is so perverted " that there is nothing dishonest which is not thought holy ;" to taunt the professors of a religious belief with this, when we man our ships and recruit our regiments from their ranks, and when not a single instance of treachery or want of loyalty can be brought against them ; to forget also the historical fact that when Catholic Spain sent forth her armada to crush Protestant England, our fleet was led on, and led on to victory by a Catholic—Howard ;--we say, to do all this, and to forget all this, is to shut our eyes to facts standing out in the glare of the noon day sun, and to indulge in language more becoming the rampant intolerance of the vulgar zealot, led on by a " No-Popery" howl within the walls of Exeter Hall, than what should be the calm, deliberative speech of a Protestant Prelate addressing his clergy under the shadow of halls built by the ancestors of the very men whose faith he was denouncing. It is such language as this which disturbs our equanimity, and causes us to regret a move ment which can do no good to the great cause of civil and religious liberty, which we are de termined to support. It is such facts as these which " make our heart's blood run cold." We know that taste and :peculiarity of constitution ren der the effect of facts and phenomena widely different on men. The Bishop of Oxford's blood runs cold at the idea of an army of scullery-maids sent into this country to disturb the purity of our faith, a sugges tion it appears made by Father Ignatius in a fit of mad enthusiasm. " For instance," says Bishop Wilberforce, "he would say to one of the right mettle, ' There is a nobleman's family; enter it as a scullery.maid.' Such facts make our heart's blood run cold." From the sublime to the ridiculous there is but a step. A bishop afraid of a scullery-maid! A scullery-maid producing a bouleversement of a bishop's circulation ! Pshaw ! This is all sham, froth, rant, and bluster. If you are a good man and true, Bishop Wilberforce, there is nobler game for you. There is Dr. Pusey at your elbow receiving confessions from the young and uninitiated, not verbal but written confessions, preserving them in his desk, and refusing to give them up when the applicant: beseeches him to do so. Is this Protestantism ? Ought this man to continue to be a teacher of youth ? Could any scullery-maid, let her be ever so enthusiastic, perform an act less in ac cordance with the spirit of the people of this country, with the genius cf our Protestant faith, or with the principles which we consider should regulate the in tercourse between man and man ? Have you done anything to indicate to the world that you disapprove of these proceedings ? Have you manfully opposed Tractarian doctrines ? If not, why not ? Listen. Dr. Pusey is and was from the first moment the head of the party, he took up a position and made all the pre liminary arrangements for the attack, you " rolled the powder in," and Pio Nono at the suggestion of Cardinal Wiseman, who had been closely watching your movements, applied the torch which has set the country in a blaze, and rent the Church for ever into two separate and distinct parties. And in the midst of all this tur moil what have you done ? You have placed your name at the top of a protest from the clergy of your diocese, declaring the Bishop of Rome has as sumed a power to which he has no right ; so far so good ; but amongst other things you have pledged yourself with th 3 other protesters " to discourage the propagation of all principles and practices tending to establish Roman opinions within our respective spheres." You drew up the protest, but this little sentence was an amendment, and inserted at the request of the meeting. What is now your posi tion ? You have pledged yourself to use your best endeavours to discourage the very practices you were foremost in assisting to introduce and to carry into practice. This is a specimen of consist ency, but let it pass. Prove to us that you are in earnest, and let us hear that Dr. Pusey's confessional is denounced, and that the accumulated document°, those specimens of the ou t pour i ngs o f poor weak humanity, are forthwith returned to their owners. Above all things, when you denounce Popery, .re member that every man is a Pope, whether he lives in Rome or in Oxford, who endeavours to lord it over the consciences of his f e ll ow -men. It is the spirit of Popery we have to denounce and discourage, not t h e piece of hu man ity th e t em porary embodiment of t h e spirit. It is the principle we disapprove of, not the Pope or his Cardinal. Accordingly iis the spirit [Upon this the conversation dropped, and soon after wards Tresham departed. When he found himself alone he suffered his rage to vent in words. "Perdition seize them!" he cried, "I shall now lose two thousand pounds, in addition to what I have already advanced, and as Monteagle will not have the disclosure made till the be- ginning of November, there is no way of avoiding pay ment. They would not fall into the snare I laid to throw the blame of the discovery, when it takes place, upon their own indiscretion. But I must devise some other plan."—Ainsworth's Life and Times of Guy Patches.] They've done their task, and every cask Is piled within the cell, They've heaped the wood in order good, And hid the powder well; And Guido Fawkes, who seldom talks, Remarked with cheerful glee— " The moon is bright--they'll fly by night! Now, Sir, let's turn the key." The wind without blew cold and stout, As though it smelt of snow; But was't the breeze that made the knees Of Tresham tremble so? With ready hand, at Guy's command, He rolled the powder in; But what's the cause that Tresham's jaws Are chattering to the chin? Nor wine nor beer his heart can cheer, As in his chamber lone, He walks the plank with heavy clank, And vents the frequent groan. " Alack," quoth he, "that this should be, Alack, and w ell-a-day! I had the hope to bring the Pope, But in a different way. I'd risk a rope to bring the Pope By gradual means and slow; But Guido Fawkes, who seldom talks, Won't let me manage so. That furious man has hatched a plan That must undo us all; He'd blow the Peers unto the spheres, And throne the Cardinal! It's time I took from other book Than his a saving leaf ; I'll do it, yes ! I'll e'en confess Like many a conscious thief. And on the whole, upon my soul, As Garnet used to teach, When human schemes are vain as dreams, 'Tis always best to peach ! My mind's made up!" He drained the cup, Then straightway sat him down, Divulged the whole, whitewashed his soul, And saved the British Crown ; Disclosed the walks of Guido Fawkes, And swore with pions aim That from the first he thought him cursed, And still opined the same, Poor Guido died, and Tresham eyed His dangling corpse on high, Yet no one durst reflect at first O❑ him who played the spy. Did any want a Protestant, As stiff as a rattan, To rail at home 'gaiast priests at Rome, Why, Tresham was their man 'Twas nothing though he'd kissed the sod Abroad in various ways, Or managed rather that his wife's father Should bear the blame and praise. Yet somehow men who knew him when He woo'd the Man of Sin, Would slightly sneer, and whisper near, WHO ROLLED THE POWDER IN? MORAL. If you, dear youth, are bent on truth In these degenerate days, And if you dare one hour to spare For aught but " Roman lays," If, shunning rhymes, you read the Times, And search its columns through, You'll find, perhaps, that Tresham's lapse Is matched by something new. Our champion John, with armour on, Is ready now to stand, (For so we hope) against the Pope, At least on English land.

In the course of the trial of this cause in the Court of Common Pleas yesterday (a report of which appeared in The Sun of yesterday afternoon), the following letters were put in and read : "Dear Sir,—From your manner I infer that I shall not see you again before I leave town; I should there fore feel particularly obliged if you will let me know what I am indebted to you for last Friday evening's entertainment, and I must say, although, perhaps, you will deem me bold, that I cannot understand you. You know I am one to say what I think, for which I hope you will pardon me. I return to my sister's this even ing, having left much against her wish. I know I am wrong in writing, but I lilt I must do it, think what you might of me. " I am, yours truly, "Sunday Evening. " MARY ANN POPE." "Dear Sir,—ln reply to yours just received, I write to say I shall be hero this evening, and shall be happy to see you. What a strange animal a man is! "I am yours truly in haste, " MARY ANN POPE." " Friday Evening, Chase-green. " My dear Sir,—As you expressed a wish to hoar from me, I have much pleasure in informing you if it will afford you any gratification to know, I reached here safely this afternoon without encountering mydear papa who had not made his appearance in Hatton-garden when I left at twelve o'clock. When I arrived at the Shoreditch station I found I was just too late for the Enfield train, so, by way of making the hour pass as pleasantly as I could, I regaled myself with threepenny worth of Punch, with which I sat down by the fires and much enjoyed, thinking at the same time it was preferable to a scene in Hatton-garden. I understand from mamma my absence was much lamented last night, and from the description of the party Ido not think I have any cause to regret yi e ldi ng to your persuasions. I hope you did not again measure your length in the road last night. It is quite necessary you should be roughshod here, for it was a case of slide with me all the way from the railway. I hope you were agreeable at the Old Bailey to-day, not but what I am sure if I were in your situation I should be ten times more troublesome. I heard in the omnibus to-day the woman was acquitted that murdered her child, and that the judge gave a beautiful address. Do you not wish you had been there? I shall tire you with my scribble, so will conclude. Hoping that this will find you better than when I left you, and accept my kind regards, and believe me, " Yours affectionately, "MARY ANN POPE." "My dear Sir,—l was much pleased at receiving yours this afternoon. It was what I hardly expected sffer the parting, but I do not know what possessed me; I felt cross, and I thought you noticed it. They up braided me after you left for not seeing you safely eff the premises, but I suppose it was my innate modesty that deterred me. I mentioned the all-important sub ject to papa on Sunday morning. He did not raise say objection, but I will tell you more about it when I see you. I like not saying too much in a lett e r in case of a breach of promise. Mamma thinks it will look rather particular absenting myself from church, for if I under stand you rightly it is what you wish; as Mr. and Mrs. Edwards will be here, and unless you particularly wish me not, I should prefer going, as it does not appear to me like Sunday unless I am at church once in the day. I must hurry this as it is nearly post time-7 o'clock P.m. Anticipating the pleasure of seeing you on Sunday, " Believe me to be yours in sincerity, " Mall ANN POPIt. " Chase-green, Jan. 17, 1850." "My dear Sir,-1 hop you will not consider me very unkind at the sentence I am about to pass. Papa thinks as well as myself that under existing circum stances you had better not come on Sunday, but defer your visit until Tuesday afternoon next. Papa will be in town on that day, and should you feel disposed, we shall be able to accommodate you, and on Sunday Mr. and Airs. Edwards and a friend will be here, and it will be out of our power so to do. I think this will not please you, but it is papa's wish and mine for the pre sent. Will you let me know if you will come on Tues day? We have had a heavy tall of snow to-day, and should it thaw it will not be very inviting here on Sun day. The clock striking eleven tells me it is time for me to be where my parents have been some time since, up stairs, so will wish you good night, hoping this will find you in a very good humour. _ 41 ,7 " I don't think you will b ours N e 'e m ry u s c i h sc d c i r sa e p lY p ' oin tad. `'MARY ANN POPE. , "My dear Sir,—You `` d o C o h b aj e e s • s t; r e e x e p n J. o s d n. 2 , 6, re 1 p 85.

I will be candid with you, and tell you the cause is the return of one whom I for ever had a sincere attachment to, and avowedly assert that no other inducement could ever have supplanted you in my affections. The event has caused me many, many hours of leprosvh and unhappiness, but with my present feel ings I feel bound to relinquivh you, and know I am act ing rightly in this dettrmination, for I never could have been happy. Don't think harshly of MP, for I feel my situation most acutely, and will give you a further ex planation if you wish it, as nothing has been said between you and papa. Ido hope it will not make any diffe rence in our friendship. I hope you will not refuse a purse I have made for you, as a small acknowledgment of the kindness I have received from you; and believe me to be still your friend, " MARY ANN POPE."
