GEORGE EDWARD HOLIEST, of Frimley, Surrey —Frimley, Bag shot, December 4, 14501—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 HOLLEST, • who for a p.trio , l of I'l 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. Honest was suddenly cut off is universally kinwn, but those only who arc acquainted - with his p si tion are aware that he never had the means of making a provision for his widow. Under-such circumstances, it is hoped that the case of Mrs. Holle4 will conimend itself to the generous consideration of those who are bleval with the means of alleviating, so tar as human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a family so lea - fully 'bereft of its natural supporter. The income of Mrs. Holiest does not exc ed 40?. per alumni, and subscriptions are earnestly solicited in aid of these inadeqtrae means. Suhseriptions will be thank fully received by . the foil- wing bankers :—Messrs. ferries, Farquhar, and Co.; Messrs Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Messrs.

"The Directors wish to impress on the Shareholders the important fact that this rapid acquisition of business is not owing to any acci dental cause, but has taken place uniformly throughout the whole field of the Society's operations, showing clearly the confidence re posed in the Society by the public. " It is els') most grat fying to be able to report that the losses by deaths euring the past year have been less than in any preceding year since 1344 ; from which it appears that, with the exception of the three first years of the Society, when the number of policies in force was not one-fourth of the present number, the mortality has been less than in any other. " The Directors have only further to state, that the Members of the Board going out of office by rotation are Edward Doubleday, Esq., and Robert Bentley Todd, M.D. • and the Auditors also going out of office by rotation are James Parker Deane, D.C.L., and Mar tial Lawrence Welch, Esq., all of whom being eligible offer them selves for re-election.

" A trial of considerable interest to Life Assurance Offices and the public was concluded yesterday in the Court of Exchequer. The Eagle Company held a policy for an assurance of 5391. in the Albion Company as security for an advanee, 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 turtle] 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 protesting them selves in every case by due inquiries before the grentim • 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, tie people who would be the first to resort to its advantages are the first to be deterred."—Times, July 11, 1850.

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 en, 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 co 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 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 Prmerty on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s per cent, without the Average Clause.

C..ipy of a letter froniCOlonel Hawker (the well-known Author on "Guns and Shooting,") Longparish-honse, near Whitchurch, Hants, October 21, 1846 :—" Sir,—l cannot resist informing you of the ex traordinary effect that I have experienced by taking only a few of your Lozenges, I had a cough for several weeks, that defied all that was prescribed for me ; and yet I got completely rid of it by taking about half a small box of your Lozenges, which I find are the only ones that relieve tha cough without deranging the stomach or diges tive organs. To Mr. Keating, 79, St. Paul's Churchyard. I sun, Sir, your humble servant, " P. HAWKER." Prepared and sold in Boxes, Is. 14d., and Tins, 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., and 10s. 6d. each, by THOMAS KEATING, Chemist, & c., No. 79, St. Paul's Church-yard, London. Sold by all Druggists and Patent Medicine Vendors in the Kingdom. The prisoner was an engineer in the service of Mr. Pooley, of Manchester, and had to manage three engines worked by seven boilers. The deceased was an engine -driver, and acted under the prisoner's or ders. About nine o'clock on the morning of Thurs day, the 10th of October, an explosion took place in a boiler called "N. 4," in the engine•room. The flue, which ran through the centre of the boiler, was burst by the pressure of the steam, the engine -house was filled with hot ashes and steam, and the deceased, who, when the explosion took place, was on one of the adjoining boilers, was so seriously injured that he died in ten days after. It appeared - that a few months ago another explo sion had taken place on the same premises, and the fireman had been killed. A was then thought de sirable to alter the construction of the flues, which had previously been of what is called the " D" shape, convex below and flat above, and replace them by others of a circular make. This had been done in five out of seven boilers; but No. 4 had not been altered. On the Saturday previous to this explosion it was discovered that the flue of the last mentioned boiler leaked at a place where its extremity was rivetted by a flange to the inside of the boiler. This was temporarily repaired, so as to stop the leaking, and on the Monday following the boiler was worked as usual. Still, however, it leaked; and the prisoner ordered some "screw patches," as they were called, to be prepared for the purpose of securing it, and stopping the leaking. These patches were made of iron of the same`thickness as the boiler, to be fastened by screw rivets, to be passed through holes drilled through the patches and the boiler, and fastened by nuts, some softer material being placed between them, to prevent the leakage. Before this was done, however, the prisoner sent for Mr. Swaine, the boiler-maker, and told him what he was going to do. He was told by Mr. Swaine that the boiler was not safe, and he must not work it any more, which the prisoner promised to attend to. The boiler remained standing until the following Wed• nesday, when the prisoner ordered two of the work men to prepare five screw patches, and fasten them on the place in question. This was accordingly done, and the boiler was worked again on the Thursday morning. It had been at work for three or four hours previous to the accident. On making an examination of the boiler on the following day, it was found that at the place where the leak existed, and which, when Mr. Swaine saw it, showed a crack of about 14 inches in length, the flange was torn from the body of the flue the whole way across the top, and the top of the flue itself was thrust down nearly to the bottom of the flue for about half its length, and there was a frac ture in the substance of the upper part of the flue about seven feet from the end, extending nearly the whole way across it. • His LORDSHIP intimated that the case depended almost wholly on Mr. Swaine's evidence, but it seemed very doubtful from his testimony whether the prisoner understood, from the communication then made to him, that the boiler was too unsafe to he rendered fit to work with by screw-patching it. He had undoubtedly been told that it was unsafe 83 it was, bat might have thought that the screw-patching it would have rani red it. secure, and acted upon that supposition. He thought it could net he clearly es tablished against the prisoner that there was any thing more than an error in judgment on his part. The jury accordingly Acquitted the prisoner. Thomas Jones, Thomas Calderbanh, and Thomas F, as th a m were indicted for night poaching and as saulting the keepers of the Earl of Derby, while in the execution of their duty. The jury found Jones Guilty, and Acquitted the other two prisoners. The Learned JUDGE sentenced Jones to two months' imprisonment. (Before Mr. Justice TALFOURD.) Edward Moran, 26, was indicted for the man slaughter of Andrew Murphy, Mr. Aspinall conducted the prosecution, and Mr. I Monk defended the prisoner. It appeared that the deceased in this case was by trade a tailor, about 24 or 25 years of age, and came to Manchester from Bradford, where he had previ ously been living on the 17th of September last. On his arrival he went to a tailors' club, established for the purpose of affording temporary accommodation to those belonging to the associa'ion travelling in search of work, on production of a card of membership. The following dly the deceased left this place in perfect health, and it was proved that he was seen about two o'clock on that day also in good health and quite sober. About ten o'clock at night it would be shown that be arrived at the door of the Tib-street establishment, called the " Vagrant ►Yard," in other words, a night asylum for the houseless poor, established by the board of ' guardians for the purpose of affording a night's lodging and a little food to such as might de servedly apply for it. It appeared from the evidence of Francis Halton, tramp-master, that every person who was taken in was obliged to do two or three hours' work, in return for the accommodation, on the following morning. The deceased assented to this, and was then taken in ; and, according to the practice of the Tib-street establishment, the prisoner, and others belonging to the place, proceeded to search him in his turn. When so employed they found that he kept one of his hands shut, and refused, on being requested, to open it. The prisoner tried to force it open, but could not do so ; and it was only when he got other assistance that they succeeded in opening it, when about 100. in copper fell out. It then appeared that the deceased, who was very indignant at the treatment he had re ceived, took off his boot end flung it so as to hit another pauper. A seuffl2 then ensued between ..be prisoner, who, it seemed, had only one arm, the other being a stump, and the deceased ; and the prisoner was seen to hit the deceased in the face, but whether in tentionally or not the witness Dalton could not say. The deceased, on being booked after this occurrence, gave his name and age, and did not appear to have anything the matter with him, and to be quite sober. When he came down to supper he showed Dalton his thumb, which appeared to be dislocated. The follow ing morning, on being awakened, he complained cf being unwell all over him. He was told he might re main where he was, and if necessary, the doctor should see him. Later in the morning he vomited considerably a greenish liquid, which smelt strongly of spirits. He came down shortly after nine o'clock, and his eye was noticed as being discoloured, and he was unable to eat the usual breakfast, which, as well as the supper given to tramps, consisted of milk and porridge made of Indian corn. Isabella Robinson, mistress of the female tramps, described the scuffle which took place, in which she was only a spectator. She saw the prisoner give the deceased two blows, one of which knocked him against the pantry door, and she heard Mr. Hollis, the superintendent, say, " Hold, Moran ; that won't do." This witness gave the prisoner an excellent character for kindness and humanity, and spoke also to a conversation which she had with him the following day, during which he said, in reference to the deceased " What I've done at him, Isabella, wouldn't hurt a fly." The same morning the doctor saw him, and Mr. Hollis said he also saw him several times during the day, and he gradually got worse till he was removed to the work house. There appeared, from the testimony of Hole lis, to be great doubt as to the correctness of Mrs. Robinson's evidence. He did not even see her pre sent during the whole of the scuffle, though he ad mitted that she might have been there without his seeing her. Minshall, head nurse at the workhouse, spoke to the deceased being brought there on Thursday, the 19th of September. He was unable to walk up stairs without assistance. He remained there during two days, and was attended by Mr. Evan Thomas, the surgeon. The greatest suffering appeared to be in the head. He died at two o'clock on the Sunday morning. ___ Mr. Evan Thomas, the surgeon, on examining the deceased, fpund contusion of the hand. At the work house he examined his head. He had a black eye, and he thought, from the symptoms he might be labouring under disease of the brain, and he treated him accordingly. He died from effusion of blood on the brain, or, in fact, apoplexy, which he thought pro bably arose from violence, as be saw nothing in the post mortem examination to indicate that it was owing to natural causes. Mr. Elkanah Holroyd, surgeon, Manchester, made the post modern examination. The right ej e was very black ; the left ear and throat were very livid . The chest and stomach were healthy. The bladder was distended, whence he inferred that something was wrong with the brain, on examining which he found a con-iderable extravasation of blood. He attributed the death to violence. One of the arteries had given way, which was very likely to give way from violence, but which seldom did so in cases of natural apoplexy. Both the medical witnesses were subjected to con siderable cross• examination by the Learned Counsel for the prisoner, in the course of which it appeared that death resulted from extravasation of blood upon the brain, from the giving way of an artery in the dura mater. Mr. Mori, at the close of the case for the prosecu ion, asked his Lordship if there was any case for the ury ? upon which The Learned JUDGE said that perhaps the jury hud better hear the Learned Counsel, though, if they acted on the e , idence of Mr. Hollis, he did not see how they could convict the prisoner, and that it had not been proved that the prisoner struck the blow behind the ear, which appeared to have had the most serious effect on the brain. The jury expressed themselves satisfied that this was not a case for conviction, and acquitted the prisoner. His LORDSHIP, in discharging him, said he thong' t it only just to him to say that he did not appear to have intentionally done rnything, in the discharge of his duty, calculated to injure the deceased. This terminated the business of the assizes. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. DEVONPORT, DEC. 1 6.—Pandora, surveying vessel, will be commissioned this week.

The Locust steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Curtis, had her compasses set this morning by Captain Johnson, and was expected to leave Greenhithe in the afternoon or early to-morrow morning for Plymouth. The Locust has now received her sailing orders and charts for the coast of Africa, which we originally stated to be her destination. That statement was so often contradicted, and the Brazils station named by $ contemporary professing authentic ief mmation, tl - at many of her officers believed she would proceed to tt Brazils. She will now, however, take out the mails from Plymouth of the 20th inst., and the Volcano will take out those of the Ist of January, 1851. Times. The Waterwitch, 8, sloop, Commander Richard R. Ruin, arrived at Sheerness on Friday last, having been towed from the Downs by the Monkey steam-vessel, and on the following day was inspected by Captain Greville, of her Majesty's ship Ocean (for the Commander in- Chief), who expressed in most complimentary terms his approbation of the efficient state of the crew, and the', admirable practice both in gunnery and in the small-arm and cutlass exercises, as well as of her extreme cleanli ness. After the inspection the Waterwitch was taken in tow by ono of the steam-tenders, and proceeded to Chatham to be paid off. She is now rapidly dismantling, and will be put out of commission in a few days. She will then be taken into dock, and be again brought for ward for commission as soon as possible. There has only been one punishment in the Waterwitch since she went to the coast of Africa in May, 1848, being a period of service on that station of two years and eight months. Her punishment-book is blank during the last eight months, not the slightest offence requiring to be entered having taken place. REAR-ADMIRAL SIR C. NAPIER AND THE NAVY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD. Sir,—However much your correspondents may dis sent from Sir Charles Napier's opinions, he not only &serves to be treated as a gentleman, but with all the cmisideration due to well-tried service and experience I trust, therefore, that nothing which escapes my pen's point will offend him. I pass over the first portion of his letter w hick appeared some days back in your columns without particular comment. There is too much truth in his pithy summary of our own demerits without seeking for a somewhat unworthy consolation in the fact that others have sinned to the same ex tent as ourselves. Moreover, though many old cus toms and improvements, familiar to our service ; have been paraded as recent French inventions by the pub lic prints, there is, I fear, some cause to believe that the principles of naval architecture are better under stood and practised by our neighoours across the Channel than at home. This admission, however, without prejudice to the fact that instead of locking for the mote in the aforesaid neighbour's eyes we are constantly watching for it in our own; and, air, I for one, have no wish to see our glances directed else where. But with Sir Charles Napier's views respecting the steam department of the Royal navy there is room for difference of opinion. Your correspondent " W." in believing that, with respect to the Sidon, " no naval dficer but her gallant constructor would wish to see such another paddle-wheel steamer built to carry a main-deck battery," stated neither more nor less than a fact ; for the ship in question is considered a failure on all hands, and by all people. With her coals and shot expended, and on a seaway, she would be unmaneee able, despite her great engine power, made more effec tive since her boiltrs wore renewed in 1849. It is not, however, on tie Sidon's merits that I wish to enter the lists with Sir Charles. I INN leave tire, too, all the ea tisaction he can derive from the clear deck of the Leo. pard. an unquestionable improvement upon the " engine carriers "which have preceded her birth. Ono line to wards the end of his letter contains the proposition to which I demur :—" What we want is a greater number large paddle-wheel stezna ,, rs." Now, Sir, I contend that what we do not want is any aldition to that particular class. Th. screw, in the in fincy of its application, has proved, by the Basilisk and Niger trials, its vast superiority, even in actual delivery of power: and once that point disposed of, there remains the enormous advantage of the steamer so fitted being a perfect sailing ship. Indeed, I will go further, and as sert, that a L-ss horse-power per On applied on the screw principle will yield a better return than the greater with the paddle-wheel. As to the block-ships, we may leave them out of the question: but all Sir Charles Napier's clever writing will not show th a t th e Sid on i s not far in ferier to th e Arrogant and Encounter screw-steamers, and that without meddling at all with the peculiar prin ciple on which she was constructed. The paddle-wheel, except on the feathering principle, is, after all, but a rude means for the transmission of propelling force. The loss of power in broken water is prodigious; and bit by bit the ocean steamers of our mercantile marine are preparing to substitute the more expensive improve ment, of which Morgan was, and I believe is, patentee. Surely there is a lesson to he learned from this fact: but the day is not far distant when both, in my judgment, will give place to the screw. That a man of Sir Charles Napier's acuteness should not have seen the shadow of that coming event would surprise me, if I could forget how often a strong opinion becomes inveterate. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, A CIVILIAN. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, DEC. 16.

THE GREAT NORTHERN RA I LWAT.—Yeqerday afternoon,' shortly after three o'clock, an accident of a very frightful and alarming, as well as fatal, character took plac e at the terminus of the Great Northern Railway, at King's_ cross. It appears that a la rge b o d y of miners and other workmen have been for some time past engaged in excavat ing a tunnel which is to pass from the eastern side of the Maiden-lane-bridge, under the Regent's-canal, into the per manent station on the sites of the late London Fever and Small-pox Hospitals, at King's-cross. These men were in the employ of Mr. Hodge, the sub -contractor to the Messrs.
