GEORGE EDWARD HOLLEST, of Frimley, Surrey —Fernley, 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 EDWARD HOLT,Es r, who for a period of 13 years, in an exemplary manner, performed the duties of his church, and was distinguished by his benevolence and charity in the wide district under his charge. The act of atrocity by which the Rev. Mr. llollest was suddenly cut off is universally known, but those only who are acquainted with his posi tion are aware that he never had the meaqs of making a provisi.n 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 faintly so fearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of Mrs. Holiest does not exceed 40/. per annum, and subscriptions are earnestly solicited in aid of these inalequate means. Su)scriptions will be thankfully received by the folhwlng 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 t;o., I, Cavendish square; Messrs. Mangles Brothers, Guildford; Messrs.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0 0/. (Incorplrated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ar3 —Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It Is of the 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 ouestion, 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 tire, 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 Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

" A trial of considerahe interest to Life Assurance Offices and the public was concluded YUerday i n th e C our t o f E xc h equer. The Eagle Company held a pilicy for an assurance of 539/. in the Albion Company as security loran tudvanee, the payment of which policy was now disputed by the Albion, on the ground that at the time it was effected the fact of :he assured party having been a man of in temperate habits was concealed from the office. The chief evidence tome I upon the question as to the degree of intemperance that had been exhibited, and the !esift, was, that a verdict was given against the resisting office, not oily for the amount of the policy, but also for 40/. interest from the d.,! when it became due. The circumstance of the action being bronzit by one office against another presents a striking illustration of the uncertainty which may attach to all po licies tinder the present tystem, and shows that the only mode by wlich absolute security em ba obtained by the public must lie in the, general adoption by Asstrance Offices of the plan of protecting them selves in ev,ry csse by dam Inquiries before the grAntim f each po licy, and of afterwards assuming the full responsibility of the com pleteness of such inquities by holding themselves precluded from raising any future question. In the pro.. , ,'ent case two ofil,es are found to he diametrically opposed In their opinions as tc what can properly invalidate a 'him, 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 tile business is founded is the removal 01 uncertainty, and whenever that principle is counteracted' in the slightest degree, the people who would be . the first to re sor t to its advantages a r e th e first to be deterred."—Thies, July 11, 1850.

Whatever could the " snip" have meant to do When making such an article as you ? One of your parts is tight, and ono is slack ; I'm quite ashamed to put you o: my back. In parts the tailor should have made you bigger, In order to adapt you to my figure; While other portions should be made much less— You really quite disgrace the name of dress. Yoa make your owner such an ugly elf That he's ashamed to look upon himself. 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 only think what M. and SON would say. If such a coat as you were in their way : They'd not allow you house-roam at their shop, Nor any such a specimen of slop.

" I knew you have never had occasion to take Blair's Pills, but let me emphatically tell you, in mercy/to 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 acqu , intances receiving unfailing benefit from their use. I would not be without them on any account. If taken in the early stage of disease they dissipate it altogether; if in a later, they alleviate pain and effect a much speedier cure than by any other means within my knowledge."

We regret to hear that the gallant and much re spected superintendent of the Dover packet service, Capt. Balduck, has sustained a serious calamity, in the almost sudden decease of Mrs. Baldock. Assistant-Surgeon John Weir Duncan, of the Persian, 12, Commander Bulman, died of fever, at sea, Sept. 22, off Grey Town, Mosquito. lie was only son of Henry Duncan, Esq., of Comeley Garden, Glasgow. THE MEDITERRANEAN. We have intelligence from Malta to the 22d inst. 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 the 7th inst., entered Malta harbour at one P.M. on tho 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. Of 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 ier vents to the number already there, and to whom the sofas were assigned as dormitories. The Terrible, 21, steam-frigate, Captai❑ 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 Rostend Company's French steamer for Marseilles. The Rostend boats run only once a month. Now, if her Majesty's packets shotal be allowed to carry merchandise, the goods brought down from India and China could be transmitted at the same time as the mails, vs hick leave Malta about six hours ufter the arrival of the company's vessel. 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 tench felt between Malta end Alexandria, and Malta and the lonian Islands, and it will probably continue so lon4 as the commercial enterprise of the British is thwarted by she mails being conveyed by Government packets instead of by mercantile steamers, to which freight would be an assisting revenue. I 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 Baroherd, 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 gentlemen. The language on the occasion seems, on both sides, 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. Mr. Arrowsmith, however, ap pealed to the police, and Mr. Harper, 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 them 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 44th, 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. Arrowsmith'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, would 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. Diogli, a young advocate of high promise in his n profession, en v ibalea are engaged the gentlemen thus plac e d in so u position. by WooLwicg, 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 Johnson, 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 Argus, 6, steam-sloop, fitting at Deptford with engines by Jobn Penn and Son, will be taken down the river at the latter end of the present or in 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 for sea. _ _ _ The African steam-vessel has arrived from Sheerness 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.

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 Herm es a t a quarter before 10 o'clock A.m. on Thursday, the 17th inst., for East London, where he landed on Sunday morning, the 20th 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 Kafirs, consisting of a portion of the tribes of Umhala and Pato, were in a state of perfect tranquil lity. The accounts which his Excellency has received from that able 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 iu a few days. The kind of panic which has lately prevailed among the farmers on some 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 employment within the colony.

THE 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 her for the well-known firm of Gibbs, Bright, and Co., of Bristol and Liverpool. These gentlemen were the age nts at Liverpool for the Gre a t W estern Steam-ship Company, and they are extensively engaged in the passenger and carrying trade between the United States, Australia, the Pacfic, and British North Americ a .

MONDAY NlGHT.—There can be but little doubt, from what has transpired durieg this day (Monday) that the dispute between the authorities of the London and North-Western Railway and their engine -drivers 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 pany but on the part of the public, and all who have a friendly 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 bad up to a late hour list 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 'a service ?" And the result which this has produced was satisfactory, as, with the exception of some 20, the %hole 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 in the New West India Dock Junction line, 53 drivers and 53 stokers. The question previously quoted had last night been put to the vat mejerity of the men ; and our information is, that, without an excep tion, the men expressed themselves satisfied with their present position. It will be remembered that the whole of the dis pute originated with the proposal of the locomotive superintendent of tho 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 spirit of forbearance as well as discretion, all may yet be ar ranged to the mutual satisfaction of the directors and their employes. Should the unfortunate differences have resulted in a " strike," there can be little doubt but that it might have resulted in serious pecuniary consequences to the company and inconvenience to the public, but the men themselves must also have been sufferers to a much greater extent, for it ,is quite c l ear , f rom all that has t ransp i re d , t h at there is now no longer that dearth of good and efficient engine -drivers which necessarily existed when railways first came into existence. In proof of this it is asserted upon un doubted authority, that in reference to the northern division of the line, applications for employment as drivers had, up to yesterday, been received from no less than 230 men ; and 26 new bands 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 men, 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 men thus selected for notice of dismissal are the most inefficient 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 informed 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 be required in May next in consequence of the Great 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 between the northern men 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 arid collectively treated. A reference to the pay-list of the past week shows that out of forty passenger train drivers from the Euston terminus, eleven of them have received upwards of 31. 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 31. 15s. 4d. and 3/. 165. 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 Si. 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 fortnight's notice 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 accepted 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 cooasion, res erve t o themselves th e p ower 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. MERBLAND, A STORY OF SCOTTISH LIFE. By 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 pression on the reader, and great, therefore, has been the in terest felt respecting the new novel from her pen, under the title of " Merkland," which has just appeared. It is, like its predecessor, a domestic 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" Margaret Maitland."—Evening Paper. SUFFOCATIO N IN A CHURClL—Considerable excite ment was produced in Reading, on ➢londay evening, by the discovery that a man had been suffocated in the stove vault of St. Mary's Church. This edifice is warmed by air, heated in an apparatus placed in a vault of the church. For the last two years and upwards, a man, named William Beesley, has been employed attending to the fires, and it was his custom to go to the vault every Saturday evening in the winter to light the fires. He was seen between eleven and twelve o'clock on Saturday night as he was going to the vault. N o thing more was seen of him; and his absence throughout Sunday and Monday haying excited suspicion, the vault was visited, and he was discovered quite dead, lying on his back in front of the stove, the appearances indicating that he had been suffocated by carbonic acid. A jury next day returned a verdict of " Died from suffocation." THE LEwri.—We learn that on Mr.: 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. The gift will no doubt be judiciously- used, and will prove of much benefit to those for whom it was intended, and thus the kicd feel ng which dedicated the gift will be gratified.
