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 HOLI,ES who for a period of lS years, in an exemplary manner, performed the duties of his church, and was distinguished by his benevolence and charity in the wide district unler his charge. The act of atrocity by which the Rev. Mr. Holiest was soddenly 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 wtdow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case of Mrs. Holiest will commend itself to the generous consideration of those who are blease 1 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 exc^ed 401. per annum, and subscriptions are earnestly solicited in aid of these inatequate mean-% Subscriptions will be thankfully received by the foil ',wing bankers :—Messrs. Reifies, Farquhar, and Co.; Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, and Co. ; Messrs Coutts, and Co.; Messrs.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE lJ ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTH 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 Englanl. and btit two in Ireland—one for 500/. and the other for Ml.—making together 7001., whicli have beeu paid. Title 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 lst of June, 1949, and the 31st of %fay, 1850, was more than double the number issued Lu the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for lad Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 121, comrrising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the lit of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro. during In annual premiums 3,7321. ifs. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the ist of June last equal to 2,9911. 15s. I Id. since last meeting loans were ipplied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,1831. ils. 10{1. 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 Parish!, Eveque le 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 and future prospects. E)Ctensive Travelling Leave granted without extra Premium Moderate extra Premium for Residence in Tropical Climates. EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0'01. (Incorporated under. 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office era —Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual divjsion 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 calculat!on. _ _ _ 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 anomcly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. l'he true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto beer► sufficiently acted n, or systematically applied. Wilatever be the nominal rate, the bonuS or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as s•-curity 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 Aver 4e, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant anal sic of its own experience; ftom time to ti 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 investigivion will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be mode to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in three 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.

R EPLY OF ALFRED TENNYSON, ESQ. THE NEW POET LAUREATE. Mosaic Bard ! your lines, addressed to me, Were not unwelcome lines—how could they be I feel quite proud, in fact, that one like you Should notice me—upon my word I do I Nor would I let this first occasion slip, Of warmly thanking such a brother " chip." I do not wonder at your feeling "nettled," On finding how the " Laureateship" is settled. ' When first you heard of what I'm new enjoying, The disappointment must have been annOying. The wonder is that you so calmly ;net it, When every one expected "yon" to get it ; T get the berth, I mean, of Laureate Bard, The lore of which you seem to take so hard. But, really, what with one thing and another, Tou're far more honoured than your laurelled brother. • Think for a moment, cousin, what you are— The muse of MOSES, that commercial star. Proud would your brother be if he cou'd jump From kis appointed " post" to Aldgate pump. The " c'oth" of MOSES (understand the phrase) Would please me quite as much as my " green bays." Should MOSES, as you've hinted, change his muse, And let me pop into your honour's shoes, Good service to the dress I'll strive to do, Although I know I can't come up to you ; And oft shall MOSES have a rhyming benison, From your exalted brother, ALFRED TENNYSON.

EY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D.. 87, BEDFORD-SQUARE. LONDON. Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, tic. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest medicalhonours, 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.

CORK, DEC. 20. Very large arrivals of foreign wheat and In dian corn took place here on Saturday, and these, with a few straggling ones since, have had the effect of throwing a serious damp on the trade, which is very dull and lifeless. The supply of home grain has been fair, the receipts for the week amounting to— wheat 661 brie, at 16s to 21s 6d per brl; barley 1,976 brls, at lOs 4d to 12s 4d per brl; oats 6,871 brie, at 8s to lOs 4d per brl. There havbeen very little 'variation iii - the'value of any description of grain,during Iheweek. The4arge arrivals of foreign .wheat have affected Jfie prepared market, and we have scarce a transaction - pass ing in the article. We have no alteration:in:sits , value: Grinding barley continues firm, and some parcels have been sold At lie to lis 9d per barrel. We have no malting samples offering. We observe a pause in th• oat trade, in which but little business has been done. We quote prices much the same as those of last week, namely-9s 9d per brl for black and lOs 9d for white.

An adjourned general Court of Commissioners was summoned for Friday at the chief office, Greek street, Sohe. The business upon the notice paper was comparatively unimportant, but the statement made by Mr. Woolrych at the inquest-room upon - Wednesday last, that Mr. Forster, the engineer to the commission, had been instructed to present a re port to the Court in reference to the late accident at the Victoria sewer, had called public attention to, and excited considerable interest io, the proceedings yes terday. At twelve o'clock, the ordinary hour of meeting, only four commissioners had arrived, but Mr. Peto had sent word that he would be there by twenty minutes past twelve. The. Hon. Gentleman was punctual to his promise, and in a few minutes after wards the presence of the reporters was requested in the court-room. 'Upon our entrance we found Mr. T. Hawes in the chair, supported by Sir H. De la Beche, Captain Dawson, of the Royal Engineers, Mr. Lswes, and Mr. Peto, M.P. Mr. Woolrych the secretary, and Mr. Forster the engineer, were also present. The CHAIRMAN said he was very sorry that they had not been able to make a court, but the fact was that there were only two other commissioners in town besides the five present. Otte of those two, owing to very pressing engagements, and the other from a sudden illness, was unable to attend. Mr. LAwas said, though they were unable to make a Court, it was right to make some allusion to the melancholy accident which had lately happened in the new Victoria sewer, now in course of construction at Westminster. It was right to state that the commis sioners, immediately upon the occurrence of the acci dent, instructed their engineer to report to them on the circumstances, and that he had accordingly done so. Considering the anxiety which naturally existed to ascertain the cause of the accident, it might be ex pected by some that the engineer's report would be at once announced, but the commissioners were of opinion that, pending the inquiry before the coroner, it would be premature and improper to do so. They had, however, instructed Mr. Forster, the engineer, to attend the inquest on Monday next, when he would be ready to be examined with respect to any of the matters on which he had reported. Sir H. Da La BECUB would venture to make a few observations as to certain " misapprehensions"—if they were only such—as to what was doing at the Victoria-street sewer. That sewer formed part and parcel, as had been stated long since, of a system of sewage upon the north side of the Thames—a system which comprised the entire abstraction of the sewage from the Thames upon the northern side to at least a distance equal to Galleon's Reach. It had been the unanimous opinion of that commission, for a long time past, that the sewerage upon the north side of the Thames should be based upon that plan, so that he did hope and trust they should hear no more of their commission swerving, or attempting to swerve, from that their own unanimous determination.—(Hear, hear.) Such statements for the future after that public announcement—but it had been announced over and over again—could but come under the head of wilful misstatements for some ulterior purpose. Now, with regard to the progress of their works. They had at this moment the whole subject fully under consideration, and at no distant period—in fact, in a very short time—they should be able to produce, as he hoped and trusted, an efficient plan based upon that very system of the entire removal of the sewage from the Thames.—(Hear, hear.) Of course they were bound to produce for their col leagues of the City such a plan as they could entertair, as they (the Metropolitan Commissioners) had always experienced from them the utmost kind ness, and they had always worked in perfect har mony. He had not the slightest doubt that what would ultimately be done would be with the full consent and approval of all of them, both Metropolitan and City Commissioners. Of course the detail of that plan could not be submitted either to the City Com missioners or to themselves until it was brought to a certain state of perfection ; but he had no objection to ' state, in a general way, that it was based upon the plan of the entire removal of L - he sewage from IL, no rn as well as fr om th e sout h ern s i de of the me. r tro is, which latter had, i n d ee d , a l ready been sane -3 boned. Upon that plan they had a system of inter secting drains, in order to carry that oft, and there would, therefore , necessarily be portions o f th e distriat. which would be drained, as it were, by the ordinit# action of gravity, while others would be lifted by artificial means into these main channels. Of course a considerable time must elapse before the minor ad justments could take place; but he had risen to say these f ew wor d s i n order tat there might be no mis conception as to the views of the commissioners upon the point of the entire abstraction of the sewage from the Thames upon the north as it had been upon the south side.—(Hear.) Mr. S. M. PETO, M.P., said, there did seem to be a very considerable misapprehension, not only as to what that commission had really done, but as to what they intended to do, and he should like very brit fly to advert to the facts. That commiss7Lon was only appointed on the Bth of October of la,t year, and when he, together with Mr. Stevenson and. Mr. Rendel, was personally solicited by the Earl ill' Carlisle to take a seat at the board, it was distincef understood by that nobleman, and by her Majesty's Government, that their doing so was simply as a great matter of public duty upon their part, their desire being to render the most effectual aid in their power, in order that a perfect and practical plan for the whole of the sewerage of the metropolis might be provided ; and such a plan, he ventured to say, had been prepared with every possible expedition consistent with that due care without which no plan of this kind ever could bE , matured fur the public advantage.—(llear, hear.) lie would just for a moment advert to the fact that since the It th of October last year the commission had ascertained the exact state, had had a complete system of levels taken, and had reported upon no less than 700 miles of main sewers. They had examined the whole of the plans that had been submitted at the pre vious request of their predecessors in office, and had formed a plan for the southern side of the river, which had been duly advertised. The drawings of that plan might be had at any hour at that office, and he had never heard from any practical man a single objection to it. It was perfectly simple and practical in its character. It relieved the whole of the southern district of the metropolis with two lifts only, and it afforded the power of removing the whole of the sewage to any distance re quired or desired, provided it should not be found that at that point where they proposed to stop the public had in the meantime made such ar rangements as should utilize the whole of the sewage. —(Hear, hear.) Then as to the northern side—the whole of Westminster has been settled for four months past ; and the necessity of that was urged upon us by two circumstances—first, the miserable condition of the locality, which would be credible only to those who were personally acquainted with it ; secondly, that the new street--Victoria-street— which had been projected, had been waiting for three years for the sewer to be made, while the money had actually been deposited in the office. The commis sioners had thought, therefore, that the observance of public faith and the necessities of the case required them to take up that portion first. They had accord ingly done so, and having reference to the general plan of the northern side it bad been so arranged that the sewage of the whole of Westminster should be taken to the lowest practical level; and the whole would be discharged not ultimaately into the Thames (although at present necessarily so at Scotland-yard), but ultimately, with the whole of the City sewage, at such a distance down as should be beyond the reach of London and from which ne practical evil could result. Now, though he, as a practical man, was per fectly prepared upon all occasions to give his time to the public, he was not prepared to stand at any one mo ment suspected of giving that time for any object except for the performance of a public duty. He had himself,and many of the commissioners had done the same thing, given up what, upon reference to his diary, he found to be a consumption of time equal to seven months cinch the Bth of October last year; and when the multiplicity cf his engagements on every part of the continent and in this country was known, it must be apparent to every one that he was making no mean sacrifice, and he could not and would not submit to remain quiet under any imputations when he knew that he had no other intention but to do his duty to his fellow-citizens.—(Hear.) He was prepared to give up to the Government, when the term of this commission should expire in the next session of Par- Fitment, that office which he had received at their hands, and he should do so with the proud satisfac tion of believing that he bad aided in perfecting a plan for the northern and southern sides of the metropolis a vs ell-considered, well-digested plan—not consi dered in an open court, where every observation must be studied with reference to its immediate appearance in public—but considered, as every matter of great importance should be, for hours consecutively there, in quiet, with other practical men who thoughtfully brought to bear the energies and experience they possessed—and what for ? Simply that the public might derive from them the benefit of that experience and knowledge which it ought to be, as it was, their pride and their pleasure gratuitously to afford. (Hear, bear.) He could only say with regard to himself that with great inconvenience, and instead of taking his family away, as he ought to have done, during the interregnum between the two sessions, he had remained in London nearly the whole of the time ; and be was prepared so to remain, and to fol low this matter up, de die in diem, until they had completed it ; but he was not prepared to stand sus pected of any motives, nor would he quietly submit to it.—(Hear, hear.) Sir H. DE Ls Bscua said, his honourable friend (Mr. Peto) had fallen into one little inadvertence as to the time during which the subterranean survey had been in progress. That survey had been insti tuted, as absolutely necessary, at the commencement of the first of the commissions that succeeded the numerous commissions of the metropolis. It was found that there was little or no knowledge of the sewerage of the metropolis existing at that time ; and it was also needful to have a surface examination. The two had now been completed, and they had, as Mr. Peto had stated, 700 miles of main sewers per fectly examined, so that at any future time they could be dealt with and made a part and parcel of any new system, or they could be rejected as occa sion might require. Mr. PETO did not wish for a moment to have it understood that the present commission had insti tuted the subterranean survey ; on the contrary, it had been most properly instituted by their prede cessors ; but be meant to say that they had had to wait for its perfection, and that they had to examine the condition and amount of all the exisiting sewers l: afore they could, as new men coming into this ques tion, at all do justice either to their subject or to themselves.—(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN observed that their great difficulty arose from the manner in which they were required to do their work by the Actof Parliament. Mr. PETO said, it would be competent for them to continue to sit as a committee but not as a court. Mr. LAWES said, the fact was that the quorum of six was the same as was required under the old com mission when they had from seventy to eighty com missioners. However reasonable it might have been then, six out of twelve was certainly a very large proportion. The Commissioners then proceeded to the dis charge of committee business, and the reporters withdrew. PASSAGES IN TliE LIFE OF MRS. MAIIGARkT MAITLAND or SUNNY SlDE. —Curiosity is again excite.' respecting the authorship of this work, in consequence of the appearance of a new fiction from the same pen, entitled " Merkland ; a Story of Scottish Life." Even that shrewd critic, the late Lord Jeffrey, was in some doubt as to the sex of the writer, as appears by a most interesting letter from his Lordship, a copy of which obtained publicity in a recent number of Fraser's Magazine. " When I first read the book (says his Lordship) I settled it with myself that it was the work of a woman ; and though there are pronouns in the letter of the author now before me which seem to exclude that supposition, I am so unwilling to be disabused of this first impression that 1 still venture to hope it was not erro neous, and that these words were introduced only to presexta the incognito which the author seems anxious to maintain." . . " Nothing half so true or so touching in the deline• ation of Scottish character," continues this eminent critic, " has appeared since Galt published his ' Annals of the Parish,' and this is purer and deeper than Galt, and even more absolutely and simply true. The conception of Grace, so original and yet so true to nature; and to Scottish nature, is far beyond anything that Galt could reach ; and the sweet thoughtfulness and pure, gracious, idiomatic Scotch of Mar garet, with her subdued sensibilities and genial sympathy with all innocent enjoyments, her ardent but indulgent piety, and the modest dignity of her sentiments and deport ment, make a picture that does equal credit to the class from which it is taken, and to the right feeling and power of ob servation of the painter." case aa remarkablyEnglishililuasw traTt: f HE L theAlvd iojerDeofelero between the the Scotch of marriage (Geils v.

After a suc cessful defence in the Arches' Court of Canterbury, to a suit for restitution of conjugal rights on the ground of her hus band's infidelity, and obtaining all the relief that the Can sistorial Courts of England have the power to grant, viz., a separation a niensa et thorn, Mrs. Geils remained stilt subject to all the legal consequences and incidents of the matri monial tie. Her husband continued to draw a sum of 1,20U1. a year from the lady's estates in England, under the marriage settlement, and according to the law of this coup. try, would be entitled to receive it until divorced by Act of Parliament. Under these circumstances Mrs. Geils, in May, 1849, brought the present action of divorce against her hus band in the Supreme Court of Scotland, of which country he is a native, and where the adulteries are alleged to have been committed; and after an elaborate discussion in the Court of Session, the Lords in the Inner House affirming Lord Wood's judgment, have decided in favour of the lady's suit.. The effect of this decision will be the forfeiture of the 1,200/. per annum, hitherto received by the husband. Ia addition to this relief, the lady becomes entitled to a jointure of 400/. a year out of her husband's estate in Scotland. -- - The Journal de Toulouse says :—Tte police ar rested on the 14th, on the Place de la Capitols, Captain Tristany, a Carlist refugee, who has been long lying con cealed in Toulouse.
