PATRICK MACtN PYRE, Secret;try, THE WIDOW of the late Rev. GEOKGE EDW IPn HOLLP,AT, of Frimley. Surrey, —Frithley, Bag sh- it, December 31,1450. —An earnest APPEAL to public benevolence is respectfully submitted by a few friends and neighbours on behalf of the WIDOW of the late Rev. GIi:ORGE EDWARD HOLIEST, who for a p.riod of 14 years, in an exemplary manger, 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 Rey. Mr. Holiest was suddenly cut elf is universally known, but those only who are accriainted with his posi tion are aware that he..never had the ineaas of making a provisi 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. Herries. Farquhar,' and Co.; Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, and Co.; Messrs. Coutts, and Co.; Messrs. Smith, Payne, and. Co.; Sir S.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0^01. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office era —Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class or rist —Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion rernium 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 ben found by experience, that the total annual lows of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each.

Yesterday the annual Grand Court was held at Guildhall, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor in the chair, for the purpose of receiving the returns of the ward officers elected for the ensuing year, and the presentments of the various ward inquests. Several of the ward inquests presented returns of persons who have been in the habit of refusing to take out their freedom, although repeatedly applied to by the authorities. The following, which is the substance of the return of the St. Dunstan's district of Farringden Without Ward, will give an adequate idea of the nature of the general complaint of those inhabitants of the City who. are free : We present the' following persons, recupying pre mises f•r the purposes of trade within the ,aid pariah of St. Dunstan's-in-the-West, in the wa-d of Farringdon Without, London. Several of them have b. en presented from time to time by former ii,quests, hut have not yet taken up their freedom. And in making this part of our presentment, we consider it our duty to impress most particularly upon your Lordship and this Hon. Court the necessity of your taking some steps to elock this growing evil of so largo an accumulation of non freemen, as it operates most unjustly upon a great number of our fellow-citizens, who have already complied with the de mand to take up their freedom, many of them at very great inconvenience to themselves, at the time when the expense was so much more than is at present required for the same purpose. Therefore, we most respectfully submit that after so many years' indecision and delay something ought to be done forthwith, either to take the necessary legal means of enforcing your demands upon the non-freemen, or to relieve us in future from this must unpleasant and apparently useless duty. " And we, the said Wardmote Inquest, do make these our several presentments, according to the articles of charge given to us at our election as aforeseid. " JOHN PREEDY, Foreman. FRANK CLEMOW. G. W. LEES. J. Haim R. E. HAYWARD. H. COCKERELL. JOSEPH W. CROON. GEORGE HYDE. JOHN WALLER. CHARLES MITCHELL." THOMAS HODGES. In other presentments on the subject it was stated that several instances occurred in which the gentle. men of the inquests were laughed at upon applying to the non-freemen for compliance with the existing regulations, and that the want of the exercise of the necessary authority was calculated to render the office of inquestnaen useless and to throw contempt upon the Court of Aldermen. Alderman MooN said that, as regarded his ward (Portsoken), the inquestmen of the preceding year felt so much indignation at the supineness of the Court of Aldermen on the subject of compelling the non-freemen to take out their freedom, that he was surprised at the appearance of a presentment on the present occasion. The inhabitants of the ward ac cused the Court of Aldermen of actual neglect of duty in not prosecuting the non-freemen, who were now more numerous than ever, and were determined not to endure any further delay. The LORD MAYOR said, in answer to all the pre sentments, that the Freedom Committee had been for a considerable time occupied in investigating the im portant question to which the gentlemen of the in quests so naturally referred ; but a delay had una voidably arisen from the severe indisposition of the chairman. It ought to be remembered that the subject was one of extreme delicacy, and one upon which a precipitate decision might be attended with much in convenience a n d trouble.—(Hear, hear t o h f e th p e ri ) It had been f v r i e le e g do e m so d m i e ffe t r i e m d e fr a o g m u. th p at er w h h u i p c s h w th al e s r a e ffi su x l e t d to f stated by s ome o f t h e i nquests that the present price the deliberations of the committee would be the re commendation of a still lower amount than the Cl. at present demanded. At all events the committee were laboriously occupied in examining the whole question, and he had no doubt would report upon it the moment the chairman should be able to resume his office. In the meantime the presentments should be all laid before the Court of Aldermen. starims, rALF-PRESERVATION; a kJ Medical Treatise on the Physiology of Marriage, and on tho Secret Infirmities and Disorders of Youth and Maturity, usually acquired at an early period of life, which debilitate the physical and mental powers, diminish and enfeeble the natural eelings, and exhaust the vital energies of Manhood ; with Practical Observations on the Treatment of Nervous Debility and Indigestion, whether nthing from these causes, clot:e study, or the influence of tropical climates: Local and Constitutional Weakness, Syphilis, Stricture, and all Diseases: and Derangements resulting from India -reti on.

The FOURT EI ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of tilts 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 Englant% and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2001.—making together 7001., which have been pall. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from tile epidemic of last year. _ This wort contains an accurate and complete account of the inatorny and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un (omit-Lately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and violous habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequent:ea, unwisely entertains a fear of itpqiying 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 'or asfistance where alone it can ho procured.

Jr The acknowledged efficacy of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEU MATIC PILLS, by the continued series of testimonials which have been sent to and published by the proprietor for nearly twenty years, has rendered this medicine the most popular of the present age ; and in corroboration of which the following extract of a letter, written by Jelin Nlollard Wheeler, E , q., Collector of Customs, Jamaloa, hav ing been handed by his brother, at Swindon, to Mr. Prout for publi cation, will fully confirm. " 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 sutler 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. 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."

The inquestmen appeared to be satisfied with his Lordship's assurance of a speedy decision upon the freedom question which has so long been agitated in the City. Alderman WILSON said that he could not see the inquest of his ward (Castle Baynard), the foreman of which ought to be present to hand in the return made on St. Thomas's-day, but he had to inform the Court that he had the return in his possession, and he wished to know whether the Court would receive it from him? The return was signed by him as aldermen, but no doubt it was informal in him to present it. There appeared, however, to be no alternative; and if the Court refused to receive it at his hands, the Common Councilmen and other officers just elected to serve in the ward would not be qualified to take their seats. He at the same time did not by any means wish to establish a precedent which might be subject to animadversion. Alderman CHALLIS intimated that the course pro posed was liable to objection as an interference with the inhabitants, who might be disposed upon some occasions to complain of matters upon which there was difference of opinion existing between them and their aldermen.—(Hear, hear.) It might, too, be in judicious to give any check to the communication between the inhabitants and the Court of Aldermen, from which mutual advantages never failed to pro ceed.—(Hear, hear.) Alderman LAWRENCE said, the reception of a pre sentment under the circumstances very properly mentioned by Alderman Wilson might lead to ir regularities. There might be occasions on which the inquest differed from others in tho ward, and on which very reasonable objection might be entertained to the appearance of an alderman as a substitute for the inquest.

The'Loup MAYOR said, he thought he was autho rised to receive the presentment, as it was signed by Alderman Wilson ; but at the moment his Lardship expressed his intention to overrule the objeCtion the gentlemen of the inquest, who had been detained by accident, arrived, and the necessary forms were gone through without any violation of the old practice. The Court then adjourned. DISRAELI'S LIFE AND REIGN OF CHARLES L NEW AND REVISED EDITION, 2 vor.s.—" Mr. Disraeli has conceived that the republication of his father's' Commenta ries on the Life and Reign of Charles I.' is peculiarly well timed at the present moment, and lie indicates the well known chapters on the genius of the Papacy, and the critical relations of Protestant Sovereigns with Roman Catholic sub jects; as reflecting mirror-like the events, thoughts, passions, and perplexities of the present agitated epoch.' In parti cular, he observes that the stories of conversions to the Romish faith then rife seem like narratives of the present hour, and that the reader is almost tempted to substitute the names of his personal acquaintances for those of the courtiers of Charles. No apology was needed for re-introducing to the world so instructive and original a work as that of Isaac Disraeli.— 'limes. i [ADVERTISEMENT.]—The most popular Medicine for the Cure of Indigestion, Stomach and Liver Complaints, are Holloway's Pills.—Captain Smith, residing at Poplar, who had resided the greater part of his life at sea, and a consider - able portion of that time is warm climates, suffered dreadfully from a liver complaint and indigestion, and often to such an extent that he thought it was impossible for him to recover.

Mr. R. Carr and Mr. Creasy having spoken in fa vour of the motion, it was agreed to as amended, on the suggestion of Mr. Betbell—" That a committee be appointed to irquire whether the principles of 4.w and equity can be administered in the sr..m, and by the same form of procedure, and that it be an struction to the committee to take into consideration the provision and practical working of the New York code." Mr. PITT TAYLOR, read the result of hiA inquiries as to the practical operation of the principle of ad - witting parties to the record to give evidence in courts of law. He had received forty-two answers from judges of county courts, and of these forty-one reported decidedly and distinctly as to the beneficial and excellent consequences of the principle, while many of them advised the extension to all other. courts. The judge of the Cheshire County Court said that out of 40,000 cases he had had, he had only found it necessary to institute two prosecutions for perjury.—(Flear.) The meeting then adjourned till Monday fortnight. LAW AMENDMENT SOCIETY. - - - - - Last night a meeting of the Law Amendment So ciety was held in their roomsi, 21, Regent-street; Mr. Commissioner Fane in the chair. Mr. STEWART said he had some important com munications to reed from Mr. Dudley FiQld, contain ing the opinions of some of the judges of New York, as to the operation of the new code, combining equity and common law in one court. The first was from Mr. Justice Sanford, who was one of the Vice- Chancellors under the old system. The Learned Gentleman read the opinions of Mr. Justice Sandford, Mr. Justice Parker, and Mr. Justice Harris, the first, who had been a Vice-Chancellor under the old sys tem, expressed a modified approval of the new sys tem; the others, who were judges in the Supreme Courts, gave a strong and decided opinion in its fa vour, though they admitted that time would be neces sary to perfect its details. He (Mr. Stewart) thought that these letters, even if no others were to be laid before the society, were sufficient to warrant it in appointing the committee, of which he had given notice, to consider in what respect, if any, the proce dure and principles of our courts of law and equity might be assimilated, taking into consideration the provisions of the New York code. Ile begged to nominate as the members of that committee, Messrs. Pane, M. D. Hill, Creasy, Bethel], Trower, Vansit tart, Neale, Pigott, Stewart, IV. Hawes; Mr. Alder man Salomons, and Mr. Elliott. Mr. MACQUEEN thought the step they were called upon to take was extremely important, not o►►ly to that society, but to the public. Would not the so ciety by appointing that committee commit itself to the scheme which had been adopted in New York ? That scheme had not proved successful, as not one of the judges whose opinions had been read to them, had expressed unqualified approval of it, and one at least had expressed great doubt. The plan itself was no new thing. More than three centuries ago it had been propounded by Sir Thomas More, but a greater man had disapproved of it—Lord Bacon. He was aware the committee was merely for inquiry, but he thought they should pause before taking such a do. cided step. He wished it to be understood that the society did not express any general approval of the scheme. Mr. TROWER, on the contrary, hoped that the so ciety would distinctly say that they generally ap proved of the scheme.—(Hear, hear.) The opinions of the judges were so strong that they were urgently called upon to go fully into the subject.—(Hear, hear.) If they looked at the philosophy of the sub ject, there was no essential distiction between equity and law, and to continue separate courts was at this period perfectly absurd. Mr. M. D. HILL supported the motion for a com mittee. Even had this change not been made by the state of New York, the question was one which in itself challenged their most careful inquiry and deli berate attention. Mr. Stewart and himself had had am interview recently with Mr. Pride, a member of the New York Law Society, while on his way throug h London to the Continent. That gentleman alas op posed to the change, but his own e xper ie nce since it was made had made him a supporter pt . it. He (Mr. Hill) did not advocate such a change in the law as, b y depriving the legal profession of fair emolum en t s, would drive men of learning and ability frem the pro fession. That would be a greater curse to the ipuhlic .constructed s than the most ingenious l ysystem for RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. - --- GLOUCESTER AND DEAN FOREST. It appears that an arrangement has been entered into between this company and the Great Western Company, by which the tormer company are to pro. teed with all practicable dispatch to complete their line, and on its completion the latter company are to lease it, at a rent equivalent to 4i per cent. per annum on the total cost. On the completion of a railway from the Gloucester and Dean Forest Railway to Hereford the above rent is to be increased to 51 per cent., but with the condition that this company shall subscribe 25,0001. towards the capital of the proposed Hereford, Ross, and Gloucester Railway. Should no Hereford line be completed, the rent of the Gloucester and Dean Forest line is to stand at 4i per cent. for five years, and then to be raised to 5 per cent. SCOTTISH CENTRAL. The directors of this company have commenced their lawsuit against the Caledonian, the Lancaster and Carlisle, and the London and North-Western Companies, to recover certain sums alleged to be due to the Scottish Central Company, according to the terms of a working agreement entered into in January, 1849, with the above companies. By the agreement the southern companies were liable to pay a certain sum for their proportion of the through traffic, and were jointly and severally re sponsible for the working expenses of the Scottish line. The Scottish Central Company claim from the Caledonian Company the sum of 8,6961. as the proportion of through traffic from July, 1849, to January, 1850; also a further sum of 6,2741. from January to November 31, 1850. From the Lancaster and Carlisle Company they claim 4,2271., and from the London and North-Western Company, on account of through traffic receipts, 2,541/. They also claim from these companies, conjointly and severally, the sum of 350,0001. as damages, arising from non-pay ment of salaries and working expenses; and also the sum of 550,0001. for breach of contract. The Sou • tbern companies deny their liability under the con tract, and it appears they are determined to resist the claims of the Scottish Central Company. The professed object of the agreement was to secure to the Scottish Central Company a net revenue of 71,4001. a year, being equivalent to 7 per cent. on the share capital of the company, in consideration of that company sending all the traffic in their power over the Caledonian, the Lancaster and Carlisle, and the Lon don and North-Western Railways. The working of the Scottish Central line under the agreement in volved considerable losses on the Southern companies, and after working for 10 months the joint committee of directors agreed to modify the terms of the agree ment, and to accept 50,000/. a year and half profits, instead of 71,4001. a year, but which the shareholders refused to sanction, and the Southern companies from that time ceased to work the line. The lawyers will in all probability realise a large sum by this foolish agreement. MADRID AND VALENCIA. Yesterday there was a very numerous meeting before his Honour the Master in Chancery Blunt, on the occasion of proceeding with the charge against the directors of this company, calling upon them to ac count for the appropriation of the sum of 106,0301., received by them from the shareholders of the com- PaTY._ _ Before the proceedings commenced, Mr. D. Wire, who represented a large number of the shareholders, said he had been instructed to make an application to know what had been done with the caution money, amounting to 17,0001., stated to have been received by Mr. Quitter, the official manager, from the Spanish Government, as they were anxious to ascertain whe ther or not his Honour might not direct that a dividend should be paid out of it to the shareholders after re serving a sufficient sum fur the payment of costs and for an indemnity fund. His Hoisouß said he did not see how he could make a dividend under the estate until the Court was in possession of all the facts. The proceedings in connexion with the charge were then commenced. Mr. Selwyn and Mr. Mellish appeared a 3 counsel for the Official Manager ; Mr. Glasse, for Mr. Chad wick ; Mr. Daniell, for Count Eyre ; Mr. Baggallay, for Messrs. Capper and Knill ; Mr. Gifford and other counsel for other directors. A number of preliminary objections to proceeding with the case were taken by these gentlemen on be half of their clients. Mr. Selwy❑ said they would have to prove the payment into Messrs. Mastermans', through the hankers' clerks, of the whole of the 106,030/., and with this view he proceeded to call Mr. J. G. Ercke, who, in the course of a long ex amination and cross-examination, proved from the ledger and railway call book, that between the 10th and 16th of October, 1845, he had received on ac count of deposits paid in to Messrs. Masterman's to the account of the Madrid and Valencia Railway the sum of 17,750/. This account was opened by order of the trustees, Messrs. Chadwick, Coliuhoun, and Knill, and this order was dated 9th of October, 1845. By an item in the ledger, dated the 7th of October, it appeared that a sum of 30,0001. was advanced by the firm. lie did not know that Count Eyre had any control over the moneys that were placed in Master man's. The account opened was in the name of the Madrid and Valencia Railway Company, and not in conformity with the letter, directing that it should be opened in the name of the three trustees. The banker's receipts were made out on account of the trustees of the Madrid and Valencia Railway Co m pany. . . Mr. E. Masterman, ono of the partners in the bank, was then called to prove the opening of an account with his firm, the authority from the trustees for so doing, and the course of business pursued by the bank in these matters. It was their practice to return the cheques with the pass-book after a certain time. Mr. R. Smith deposed to having received between the 10th and 23d of October, 1845, a sum of 33,3801. Subsequent accounts connected with this company appeared to have been opened with the bank in the following year, on the let of April.—(Laughter.) All these sums were paid in cheques. Mr. Billing, another clerk in the bank, deposed to the first item in the banker's ledger on behalf of the company being 30,7121, and to the last, or balance, its credit, being 221. 16s. 11d., out of a total receipt of 106,0301.—(Laughter.) Evidence was then gone into to prove due service on Mr. Rose, solicitor for Mr. Chadwick, of an order for the delivering up of all the books and p apers in his possession. It was shown that Mr. Rose wa s ill in bed. Mr. Glasse said that Mr. Rose was ready to pro duce the books upon payment o f the lien he had upon them of 5,0001. M r 29th of August, 1845.

Tire " CRISIS " OF THE CHURCH.—The Archdeacon of Limerick has responded to a numerously signed re quisition, and convened a general meeting of the clergy of the diocese fin- Thursday next," to consider the cuurse to be taken in the present crisis of the Church of England and Ireland." DREADFUL CATASTROPHE. The accounts from Belfast bring the followink par ticulars of the falling of a mill, accompanied by a me lancholy loss of life : " An accident, the most melancholy in its consequences that has happened in the neighbourhood of Belfast for many years, occurred yesterday morning, near Beer's bridge, and within a short distance of this town. We allude to the falling in of a new preparing mill, the pro. perry of Mr. Robert Boyd and the Messrs. Steen, which had teen commenced in the month of October last, and was rapidly approaching completion. The persons who have lost their lives (believed to be thirteen in number) were workmen engaged upon the premises, carpenters and bricklayers, with a few labourers in the employment of the firm, who were at the time sinking a drain to carry off the water along the base of the co l umns w i th i n the building. The building itself had been roofed, and the slating all but finished; and no cause can be as signed for the accident, save the supposition that the heavy rain of the previous night had loosened the brick-work to such an extent as to unfit it for the support of the beams. About a quarter past wenn o'clock the workmen commenced their operations for the day, and they had not been longer than three-quarters of an hour at work when the whole build ing came down with a fearful crash. The ruin was complete and instantaneous, and the unfortunate men, some of whom were employed in preparations for arch ing the second floor of the mill (which was three stories high and about 80 feet in length), and others as we have already described, were at once overwhelmed. Those in the lower apartments, who had a slight warning afforded them by the noise of the metal beams upon the first floor, bad of course the best chance, and most of them escaped with trifling injury. Not so, however., those whose business had brought them to the upper rooms. They were driven down and covered with iremense heaps of building materials, planks, and metal beams, which bore before them all impediments to the vete , base ment story in a few seconds. As might be readily sur mised, the noise of the fall was heard at some distance from the place, all the assistance within a good distance of the spot became immediately available, and the work of endeavouring to extricate the unhappy men was set about with zsal and activity. The positioa in which the parties had been seen last was pointed out, and the work men commenced the task of searching them out among the debris. During the day, no fewer than seven persons were brought forth from the ruins alive, and conveyed to the General Hospital, where every attention which their condition required was paid them. Down to six o'clock in the evening, the remains of the following men were taken out:—Samuel Benson, John Magill, Patrick Kelly, John Shannon, James Greer, John Scullion, and William M'llroy. It was then believed that seven others named, respectively, Kelly, Lathers, Johnson, Bryson, Rea, and M'Manus, were still lying underneath the mass of rubbish which occupied what had been the ground floor of the building. At that hour, however, even should they be recovered, it would be wholly futile to expect that there could be the slightest chance of their resuscitation. We have never seen such a wholesale demolition of any structure as cecurred in the pre sent instance. The ten gables alone now stand of the entire edifice, the side walls and t h e w h o l e o f t h e interior fixtures having come down together. The ap pearance presented by the bodies was, in almost every case, truly appalling, tasting to mutilations i n fli c t e d b y the falling mass; and the shrieks of the friends and relatives of the deceased were truly heartrending. The loss to the ptoprietors, we understand, will amount to 3,0000 GREAT WILL CASE.—The Court of Delegates gave judgment on Saturday in the celebrated will case of " Thewles v. Kelly," involving property to the extent of 300,0001. Judgment was unanimous in favour of the appellant, the Court thus reversing the decision of the Court below, and refusing letters of administration to the will propounded by the respon dent, who was also condemned to all the costs of the proceedings, amounting to 15,0001. Yesterday morning the body of a respectable fe male was found suspended by the head from the area railings in front of the Railway Hotel, Westland row, from one of the windows of which it appears that she had fallen by accident or design. As far as the particulars of the tragic affair have been collected, it seems that about six o'clock on the previous (Sa turday) afternoon the deceased, accompanied by an elderly man, of very gentlemanlike appearance, and a young woman, aged about nineteen or twenty years, wish a fine boy of seven or eight years of age, had come to the hotel, where a double-bedded apartment was ordered, and into the occupation of which they at once entered. The room was on the fourth or topmost story of the house, and at least 40 feet in height from the street. The people of the hotel had no knowledge of them. The two first-mentioned parties seemed to be man and wife, and it is supposed occupied one of the beds, while the juniors with them took the other. The party had no refresh ments whatever from the hotel during the evening or night, and the first notice which the people of the place had of the terrible catastrophe, was from the discovery of the body by the boot-boy. It may be here mentioned that the deceased appeared to be in the prime oF life, somewhere about twenty-eight years of age. It was then ascertained that the name of the deceased was Margaret Anne Minniss, the name of mile companion William Fivey, of Union Lodge, in the county Down. The young woman's name was stated to be Alicia Vaughan, and she was under. stood to be the niece or some near relative of William Fivey. The boy, it was understood, was the son of the deceased and of the male prisoner, who, we were informed, had been living together for some years in an unmarried state, and had had several children, but one of whom (the above mentioned) only survived. According to report, a marriage was fixed to take place between the parties at Monkstown Church on the day following the sad catastrophe, and the neces sary licence was lodged with the clerk or sexton of that parish. The inquest will be held to-day. ~ , j,r~•, •: 7 4 NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
