GEORGE EDWARD HOLLEST, of Fernley, Surrey —Fernley, Bag shot, December 4, 1850.—An earnest APPEAL to public benevolence is respectfully submitted by a few friends and neighbours on behalf of the WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD HOLLES who for a period of 18 years, in an exemplary manner, performed the duties of his church, and was distinguished by his benevolence and charity in the wide district un ler 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 previa! .11 for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case of Mrs. Holiest will commend itself to the generous consideration of those who are blessed with the means of alleviating, so far as human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a 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 hankers :—Messrs. Herries, Farquhar, and Co.; Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, and Co.; Messrs. Coutts, and Co.; Messra. Smith, Payne, and Co.; Sir S. Scott, Bart., and Co., I, Cavendish square; Messrs. Mangles Brothers, Guildford; Messrs. Stevens and Blandy, Reading; also by the following members of the Com mittee : R. R. Bayley, Esq., Mite/lett, Fernley, Bagshot. J. F. Burrell, Esq., Manor House, Fernley. Rev. J. H. Clayton, Farnborough, Bagshot. Rev. John Lawrell, Cove, Bagshot. Sir Walter Farquhar, Bart., Farnborouit-place, Bagshot. Thomas Longman, Esq., Farnborough-hill, Bagshot. Captain Charles Edward Mangles, Poyle-park, Farnham, Surrey. The Committee have the satisfaction to state that her Majesty the Queen, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Bishop of Winchester, have sanctioned their exertions by very liberal donations.

CAPITAL-500,0001 The WITHDRAWAL TABLE of the Society affords to the As sured the greatest possible present and prospective advantages that can he conferred by Life Assurance. On this Tab's the Assured is entitled, at any time, to receive at interest an immediate advance, to the extent of one-half the amount of the paid annual Premiums, without security, personal liability, or deposit of the Policy, but by simple endorsement thereon ; dr the half Premium may be with held during the whole continuance of the Policy. Also, in the event of the Assured at any time not requiring to continue the Policy, on its surrender one-half of the annual payments will be returned by the Society. Lapsed Policies may be renewed without fine, on proof of health and payment of arrears of Premium without interest. Notices of Assignment of Policies registered and acknowledged, so as to mike them available as securities is the hands of third parties. DISPUTED LITE POLICIES. " A trial of considerable interest to Life Assurance Offices and the public was concluded yeste - rday in the Court of Exchequer. The Eagle Company held a policy for an assurance of 5391. in the Albion Company as security for an advance, the payment of which policy was now disputed by the Albion, on the ground that at the time it was effected the fact of• the assured party having been a man of in temperate habits was concealed from the office. The chief evidence fume i upon the question as to the degree of intemperance that had been exhibited, and the result was, that a verdict was given against the resisting office, not only for 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 under the present system, and shows that the only mode by which absolute security can be obtained by the public must lie in the general adoption by Assurance Offices of the plan of protecting them 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 contingences. Similar cases 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. . . .

Yes make your owner such art ugly elf That he's ashamed to look upon kimself. I wish I'd gone to MOSES —that I do — Instead of buying such a coat as you ; My money has been thrown into the street — Another coat would be a perfect treat. But wisdom for the future will I learn, And never buy at such a mean concern. To MOSES' Mart in future I'll repair, For I shall get a fitting garment there. That splendid coat which my friend Thompson bought, In point of fit is not made wrong in aught.

"I know you have never had occasion to take Blair's Pills, but let me emphatically tell you, in mercylto any friend who may suffer from gout, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them. in this country they are of wonderful efficacy : not only am I person ally aware of their powers, but I see my friends and acquaintances receiving unfailing benefit from their use.

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un fortunately happens that the unhappy rictim 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 ne reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking ror ay.stance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has tak.en 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. --- Published by the Author, and may be had of J.

A correspondent says the fleet under the command of Vice- Admiral Sir William Parker, Bart., G.C. 8., has not arrived. The Medusa steam-packet, with the London mails of thj 7th inst., entered Malta harbour at one P.M. on the 13th, having made one of her good runs from Marseilles. She left on the same day for Alexandria, and may be momentarily expected on her return. To Alexandria she conveyed the India mail and 51 passengers, two infants, and seven servants. or the gentlemen, six were obliged to be content to sleep upon or under the table for want of accommodation, whilst the ladies' cabin, with 16 uncurtained berths, was rendered more agreeable to its occupants by the introduction of the female ser vants to the number already there, and to whom the sofas were assigned as dormitories. The Terrible, 21, steam-frigate, Captain Hope, C. 8., and Scourge, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Lord M. Kerr, are at Malta. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's boats arrive in Malta about the 13th of each month, generally after the departure of the ltostend Company's French steamer for Marseilles. The Rostend boats run only once a month.

The difficulty does not exist to such an extent on the return passage from Marseilles to Malta, as the French Government packets take goods on freight (a very heavy one, however). The want of conveyance is much felt between Malta and Alexandria, and Malta and the lonian Islands, and it will probably continue so long as the commercial enterprise of the British is thwarted by the mails being conveyed by Government packets instead of by mercantile steamers, to which freight would be an assisting revenue. A ROW AT MALTA. Three officers of her Majesty's 44th Regiment, and a youngster of the Powerful, are now lying in prison on a charge of having premeditatedly assaulted William Lamb Arrowsmith, Esq., on the night of Thusday, December 19. From some events that have taken place—not, however, in which the present party is at all mixed up— there may appear some reason to have induced a belief that the assault was premeditated; but the fact is far otherwise, as I have the firmest conviction. The parties are Lieutenant Bercherd, Lieutenant and Adjutant Colpoys, and Lieutenant Micklethwaite; Mr. Vaughan is the middy. It seems that Mr. Arrowsmith, returning from the opera with his lady in his caleche, had the window of his carriage broken; the carriage proceeded on till Mr. A. reached the police-station, and, getting out, he made his complaint, took a police man with him, and stopped the gentles en. The language on the occasion seems, on both sided, to have been strong, and Mr. Arrowsmith received from Lieutenant Barchard a blow— slight hided, but intended to mark his sense of Mr. Ar rowsmith's language. Air. Arrowsmith, however, ap pealed to the police, and Mr. Barper, the magistrate, remanded them till next day, but as the fact of preme ditation has been sworn to, he holds out the fear that his duty will compel him to commit thorn for trial. It becomes necessary to explain upon what surmise the charge of premeditation is grounded. It is this:— About the 12th or 13th instant Mr. Arrowsmith made a complaint to the governor that some sixteen lamps at Florian had been broken by some officers of the 44tb, and the conclusion is jumped at that the officers now in carcerated took this mode of revenge. Now, the high character they bear for gentlemanly conduct, and the absence from all former rows, to which may be honestly added the fact that they were not the lamp breakers, renders it improbable they would have avenged the simple act of Mr. Arrowsrnith's having reported them; but it is moreover due to them to affirm that, had they known a lady was in the carriage, the act of breaking the windows, however stupid and unjustifiable, wo u ld never have been committed. The prisoners are re manded; the proceedings are looked forward to with in tense anxiety, for the prisoners are much beloved, and cannot by the laws be held to bail should the magistrate resolve on committing them. The professional services of Dr. Dingli, a young advocate of high promise in his profession, are engaged by the gentlemen thus placed in so unenviable a position. WOOLWICH, DEC. 30.—Master-Commander John E. Petley, of the Lightning, and the men who navigated the Advice steam-vessel from Woolwich to Cork, left her there as a tender to the Ajax steam guard-ship, and re turned to Woolwich yesterday. The Rosamond, 6, steam sloop, of 287. horse power, is ordered to be made ready for sea, and will proceed down the river on Monday next to Greenhithe, where she will have her compasses adjusted by Captain Johneon, and on Wednesday leave the river for Devonport in charge of Lieutenant Robertson, of the steam reserve, and will remain at that port as an advanced war-steamer ready for commission. _ _ The Argug, 6, steam-sloop, fitting at Deptford with engines by John Penn and Son, will be taken down the river at the latter end of the present or i❑ the course of next week on trial, and when found perfect in her ma chinery will proceed to Portsmouth to be fitted at that port fur sea. The African steam-vessel has arrived from Sheerne3s to be repaired at Woolwich. The Black Eagle steam-vessel, Master-Commander S. B. Cook, has taken on board a supply of coals, and had her steam up to-day to ascertain the working condi tion of her engines. SHIP NEWS.

BUENOS A Y RES. LIVERPOOL, MONDAT.—By the arrival of the Navigator at this port we have advices from the city of Buenos Ayres to the 26th of October inclusive. At that time no hostilities had commenced. In fact the news previously received respecting war in La Plata seemed to be mere talk. Business affairs were exceedingly dull, and the rates of exchange and freights vvere quite nominal. THE CAPE COLONY. The following " Government notice" has been issued : " King William's Town, Oct. 21. " The Governor left Simon's Bay in her Majesty's steam-sloop Hermes at a quarter before 10 o'clock ♦.m. on Thursday, the 17th inst., for East London, where he landed on Sunday morning, the 20:h inst., and arrived at King William's Town on the evening of the same day. From what came under his Excellency's observation on the road, the Katirs, consisting of a portion of the tribes of Umhala and Pato, were in a state of perfeJt tranquil lity. The accounts which his Excellency has received from that ab'e officer, Colonel Mackinnon, : are of the most satisfactory nature. A great meeting of all the chiefs and influential men will take place at King William's Town in a few days. The kind of panic which has lately prevailed among the farmers on somo parts of the frontier is as much to be regretted as the cause for such excitement was unfounded. While some of the Kafir servants were, it is true, leaving their masters, the T'Slambie and Gaika Commissioners were receiving daily applications for enaph)yment within the colony.

LIE GREAT BRITAIN.---We stated on Monday last that this noble steam-ship had been purchased for the sum of 18,0001. by Mr. Patterson, the eminent shipbuilder of Bristol. It seems that Mr. Patterson purchased ber for the well-known firm of Gibbs, Bright, and Co., of Bristol and Liverpool. These gentlemen were the agents at Liverpool for the Great Western Steam-ship Comnv, and they are extensively engaged in th e passenger and carrying trade between the United States, Australia, the Pacfic, and British North America. It is intended that the large engines now on board shall be lemoved, and new ones adapted.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital--500,0^01. (Incorpsrated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office are —Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty ofcollecttng 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 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 on, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to tin - .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 in vestiga'ion will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Pronerty on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 38 per cent, without the Average Clause.

MONDAY NlGHT.—There can be but little doubt, from what has transpired during this day (Monday) that the dispute between the authorities of the London and North-Western Railway end their engine -drive=s is all but settled. The notice issued by the directors on Friday night and submitted to the men of the southern division individually, has had the effect which was desired, not only on the part of the com apa friendly nybuton the part of the public, an d a ll w h o have feeling towards the men themselves. Our information having been derived from official sources may be relied on, and from this it appears that at the present moment there are 138 drivers upon the northern division and Grand Junction por tion of the North-Western Railway, and about 130 drivers employed upon the southern division, which comprehends the whole of the line between London and Birmingham and its branches. The notice referred to had up to a late hour last evening been handed to about 210 of the drivers, who were at the time of its presentation called upon to reply to the question—" Are you pre pared to remain without strike in the company's service ?" And the result which this has produced was satisfactory, as, with the exception of some 20, the whole of the men replied in the affirmative, and elected to remain in the employ of the company. At the Camden station there are, Including the men en gaged iu the New West India Dock Junction line, 53 drivers and 53 stokers. The question previously quoted had last night been put to the vest majority of 'the men ; . and our information is, that, without an excep tion, the men expressed themselves satisfied with their present position. It will be le membered that the whole of the dis pute originated with the proposal of the locomotive superintendent of the northern division, Mr. Treve thick, that the men should give and receive a three months' notice, instead of a fortnight, as at present; and the information derived from the north yesterday is, that the men, upon mature reflection, instead of a " strike," or anything approaching to it, have come round, and agreed to the three months' notice. The whole cause of grievance is thus removed, and this augurs well for the belief with respect to the men of the southern division, who had no cause of quarrel or complaint of their own, that if they adopt a s pi r it o f forbearence as well as discretion, all may let be ar ranged to the mutual satisfaction of the dir ectors and their employis. Should tile unfortunate differences have resulted in " strike," there cell be little dpnbt but that it might have resulted in serious pectiokry eons, querces to the company arivl inconvenienc e to the public, b u t the men themselves must also have been sufferers to a much greater extent, for it is quite clear, from all that heti transpired, that there _is now no longer that dearth of good and efficient engine drivers which necessarily existed when railways first came into exigence. In preset - of this it is asserted upon un doubted authority, that in reference to the northern dividon of the line, applications - for employnient as drivers bud, up to yesterday, been received froth no less than 230 men ; and 26 new hands have been al ready engaged, and are actually working in the engine sheds, ready for any emergency of the com pany. Upon the southern division applicationa have been received from 128 men, and 42 have already been engaged. It is also stated that these men have individually accompanied their applications with tes timonials of a most satisfactory character; but, never theless, it must be borne in mind that it not only re quires a practical knowledge of a locomotive engine, but of the line on which it has to run, and therefore, in this instance, a large amount of local knowledge is required to be added to efficiency in other respects. It would appear that the directors of the company feel their position so strong that they have com pletely turned the tables upon the pen, and have given notices to thirteen or fourteen men of the southern division, but it is believed that this will not be extended to above two or three men. It is stated that the mien thus selected for notice of dismissal are the most ieefficient men upon the line, and notices have also been served upon them that they must give up their cottages rented of the company in a week ; but in order not to inconvenience them, they have been inforined that should that time not prove enough to enable them to remove their furniture, a larger in terval, upon information being communicated to that effect, will be permitted. _Should the present drivers and firemen consent to remain in the company's employment there will be no desire to dismiss them ; and although so many new hands have been engaged, ample employment will be found in the-.shops and elsewhere on the line, as it is calculated that at least eighty additional drivers will he required in May next in conseqUence of the Industrial Exhibition. It really would appear, from all that can be col lected even from the mouths of the men themselves, that the drivers of the southern .division have no ground of complaint themselves, but they at the out set made the dispute betiveen the nerthern mpn and the company their own. There is not one amongst those our reporter has conversed with but admits the consideration with which . the men are individually an&collectively treated. A reference to the pay-list vr --- cin- - put - v n on, o ',unto am., train drivers from tho Euston terminus, eleven of them have received upwards of Si. per week each in wages ; and that upon the Banbury branch (the work upon branches being easier than trunk-line traffic) two men have received respectively 3/. 15s. 4d. and 3/. 16'. as wages for the past week. It is only jus tice to the men to state that this high amount of wages resulted from working over-time, but still it is a rate of pay which probably no other class of mechanic can expect to realise. In addition to this the directors give 51. per annum to the drivers'and 31. to firemen, as good conduct, premium. The matter rests thus—the three months' notice upon the northern division has been generally as sented to by, the men, and the fortni g ht' s no ti ce upon the southern' division has not been disturbed ; for as the resolution to the men to agree to three months' notice extended to the whole of the line, and it has not been acaepted upon the northern division, of course it falls to the ground as far as the southern di vision is concerned, and although it is stated that the directors would regard it as a grateful concession upon the part of the men south of Birmingham to suggest that a month's notice should henceforth be the rule, they are not themselves, at all events at present, about to propose it. In the North of England it is generally considered by employers that, owing to a variety of causes, a longer notice is required from workmen than in the vicinity of the metropolis, and accordingly it is stated that upon the Liverpool and Manchester line, which is the oldest in the kingdom, the original custom was, the men to deposit 251. as a good conduct guarantee, and to give three months' notice. If their conduct was grossly bad the deposit was forfeited. Recent legislation has, however, rendered the deposit system unnecessary, but the three months' notice still re mains, and this it appears was the precedent which Mr. Trevethick was no doubt anxious to adopt; the three months' notice, however, being given on both sides, and not as has been stated, being extorted from the men to the directors, whilst the directors gave the men only a fortnight. The January time-tables have been issued, and with the exception of about a dozen trains, which are either stopped or altered, no change is perceptible. At the same time perfect arrangements have been made as to the stoppage of a large number of trains, should the directors be placed in such a dilemma as to render such a course necessary, and yesterday, the following announcement was posted at the Euston ter minus : " LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY—NOTICE. " The public are requested to take notice, that the usual time-bills for January, with the following altera tions, will be issued on Monday, the 30th inst., but the directors must, upon the present ceeasion, reserve to themselves the power of withdrawing such bills at any moment, ;for the purpose of substituting another bill, showing a considerable reduction of trains, which has been prepared, and is ready for issue Should such a course become necessary." A special reference to the trains the running of which has been altered is then made. MERICLAND ' A STORY OF S COTTISH L IFE . 13y the author of ;Margaret Maitland." Of all the new authors who have during the last season or two come before the public, the writer of "Passages in the Life of Mrs. Margaret Maitland" has created perhaps the most favourable im pressbla on the reader, and great, therefore, has been th e in... terest felt respecting the new novel from her pen, under the title of " Merkland, ' which has just appeired. It is, like its predecessor, a dome.tic story of Scottish life, of the deepest pathos —one of those fragments of family history that at once rivets the attention of the reader, and holds it firmly till he is made acquainted with the whole chain of strange and even fearful incidents that form the story. There can be no question that as an illustration of the do mestic affections under very singular trials, and with circum stances that render it as impressive as it is interesting, the tale of " Merkland" will sustain the reputation of the de servedly popular author of " Mirgaret Maitland."—Erening Paper. S tiFFOC A Tl{iN IN A CHURCH.—Considerable excite ment was-produced in Reading, on Monday evening, by the discovery that a man had been suffocate:Li in the stove vault St.of Mary's Cifurch. This edifice is warmed by air, hosted in an apparatus placed in a vault of the church. For the last two years and upward', a man, named . William Beesley, has been employed attending to the, fires, and it was his custom to go to the vault eve r y Saturday eveningin the winter to light the fires. lie was seen between eleven and twelve o'clock on Saturday night as he was going to the vault. Nothing more was seen of him ; and his absence throughout Sunday end Monday having excited suspicion, the vault was visited, and he was discovered quite dead, lying on his back in front of file stove, the appearances indicating that he had been suffocated by carbonic acid. A jury next day returned a verdict of " Died from suffocation." THE LEwIS.—We learn that on Me . and Mrs. Matheson leaving Stornoway Castle for the season, the latter caused a quantity of bedding and clothing to be supplied to Dr. Miller for the use of his poorer patients.
