GEORGE EDWIRD HOLLEST, of Frimley, Surrey —Frimley, Bag shot, December 4, lBso.—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 HOLIES 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. 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 meats of making a provisi.n for his widow.

The income of Mrs. Holiest does not exced 40/. per annum, and subscriptions are earnestly solicited in a'd of these inadequ ite mean 4. Subscriptions will be thankfully received by the foll living bankers :—Messrs. !Terries, 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 co., 1, Cavendish square ; Messrs. Mangles Brothers, Guildford; Messrs.

PORTSMOUTH, THURsDA.Y.—L9Vers from Lisbon, re • ceived this arternoon, state that the Retribution steam frigste, Captain Warden, arrived there on the 13th iao, On the 18th the remains of thrce of the squadron of evo lution were consigned to their last resting-place—a sea man belonging to the Prince Regent, a marine who be longed to the Dauntless, and %ho was drowned alongside, having, accidentally fallen overboard; and Lieutenant Darrel, who died on the 17th. The latter, having been a Roman C trholic, was interred in the Cemet(rio dos Pragaree. The Arrogant, 46, Captain Robinson, sailed on the 19th inst. for this port, and the Encounter on the 29th, for Gibraltar. The squadron has been ordered to complete, from the Ist of January next (according to the new scale of victualling), with four months of bread, salt meat, flour, preserved meats, potatoes, and rum, and six months with other provisions. The Mermaid, convict ship, arrived at Spithead yester day from the Thames, and proceeded to Cowes this after noon to embark prisoners. FALMOUTU, DEC. 24.—The late gales have been se verely felt by the shipping interest, as evidenced in the arrival in this port to-day of the ship Sobraon, of Bel fast, Captain Rodger, a splendid vessel of 1,300 tons measurement, laden with iron and wine, and bound from Liverpool to Bombay. She had proceeded as far on her way as 12 deg. west, and was driven bank to 9 deg. west by the violence of the weather, when she encountered a hurricane on the 14th inst. from the westward, in which, besides shifting the cargo, she carried and cut away the main and the mizentopmast, the foretongallantmast, the mainyard, with other spar*, - guile, and rigging;' the rudder also got damaged, and i n t hi s extremity she was compelled to bear up for a port of refuge. Having suc ceeded in reaching the Lizard this morning, the services of the Sidney steam-tug were engaged, and at noon the ship was safely moored in the Cross Channel. Besides the Sobraon, there has also arrived here to-day, with da mage" to boats, sails, &c., the Russian ship Furst Meats chikoff, Captain Lllen , from Richibucto, with lumber for orders. The weather is now fine and frosty; wind moierate at north and veering. PLYMOUTH, DEC. 25.—Her Majesty's frigate Phaeton, SO. Captain G. Elliott, sailed yesterday morning with dispatches and stores for Lisbon. The Albion, 90, Captain W. J. H. Johnstone, sailed on Sunday to relieve the Powerful in the Mediterranean. The Locust steamer, Lieutenant-Commander Curtis, sailed yesterday for South America. WooLwecie, DEC. 26.—The Volcano steam-sloop, Commander Rivers, left Woolwich at 3 o'clock P.M. to day for Greenhithe, where she will have her compasses adjusted to-morrow by Captain Johnson, and leave on Saturday fore Ply mouth and the coast of Africa. Late advices from San Juan de Nicaragua give ac counts of the trouble between the commander of the British sloop-of-war Persian, 12, and the' American steamer Director. While the latter vessel was prepar ing to ascend the river its officers were official informed by Commander Bulinan, of the Persian, that if they at tempted to move without first obtaining permission of the authorities of the town, he should fire upon them; and, in conformity with this threat, he moved his vessel to within 100 yards of the Director, so as to bring her effectually under his guns without any protection. The officers of the Director were obliged to submit. The New York papers say, " Such high-handed outrages as these will undoubtedly be speedily investigated." The American frigate Brandywine arrived at New York on the 4th lair, from Rio Janeiro. APPOINTMENTS. Charles J. Didham (1846), and Arthur R. Fox (1850), to the Sampson steam-frigate, at Davenport.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN. The locom.tive committee of the northern division issued the following notice yesterday, with instructions that it be read to each man on the northern division (driver, turner, or fireman) by the foreman:— "The directors, owing to the attitude assumed by soma of the men who have threatened to quit their ser vice without due notice, have arranged to reduce the number of trains, and have_received into their employ hew !aerials in the place of those thus proposing to desert their efiginre.' •'' '• " This has been a matter of regret to the directors, but compel!, d as they. are to provide for the publto service and safety, they cannot periait the present state of un certainty to exist any longer. !ley therefore request that any man who from any cause desires to leave the company's service will at once say so to his foreman, and a 14 days' notice from the company will he immediately handed to him. " The directors are glad to find that so many men have agreed to stand by them, and they fully appreciate such conduct." THE CHRIbTAIAS RAILWAY TRAFFIC.—On the Lon don and North-Western, during the four days preceding Christmas Day, the number of parcels and packages sent "outward " by the mail and ordinary trains was little short bf 25,000, and "inward "of 10,000. Neatly 5,000 parcels went down the line on Monday. By the Great Western Railway there were 15,000 parcels out ward, and 10,000 inward bound. By the Great Northern Railway, " in and out," there wore about 10,000, exclu sive of goods trains, as was the case on the Eastern Counties Railway, of corn, meat, &c., from the agricul tural districts. The London and South-Western, South- Eaitern, and Brighton Railway Companies had a larger complement than usual of Christmas traffic. THE PALACE OF INDUSTRY. Though but a small fraction of the whole work of the building remains now to be executed, it is found that, in consequence of the shortness of the days, and other multiplicity of details which belong to the in terior fittings, it will be impossible to complete the work by the time stipulated for in the contract, viz., the 31st of December inst. An extension of the time has been readily granted by the Commissioners to the contractors., who are fully entitled to considera tion, from the novelty and extent of the work, which renders calculation beforehand extremely difficult. On the day after that above-named, however, the power of the contractors to admit visitors to the building will cease and de termine, and pass to the Commissioners, who will probably take possession pro forma, on the Ist of January, 1851. In order that the contractors may give effect to their appreciation of the efforts of the Society of Arts towards the accomplishment of this great national object, they will receive the members of that body within the building on the 31st instant, the last day on which it would be in their power to pay them that well-deserved compliment, which they originally intended should be the first formal recep tion after the completion of the building. The com pany will assemble in some of the finished offices, and Professor Cowper, of King's College, will read a paper on the various matters of science which have been applied in the progress of the works. A private meeting of the council of the society was held last night, at their house in the Adelphi, to determine on the line of proceedings, of which this will be the principal feature. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—A certified Cure of Scrofula by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—The following certificate from Mr. Alcorn, of Jerry's Plains, New South Wales, was forwarded to Professor Holloway by Mr. Pinkey, chemist, of the same place. " This is to certify that my daughter, aged seven years, was aillicted with scrofula for three years, and that, after she had been attended by several respectable practitioners, without success, I was induced to try Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which remedies in about three months completely cured her, and she is now in the best of health. This can be verified by various persons in this vicinity, where I have re , ided for twenty-two years. (Signed) R. Alcorn. Jan. 1, 1849." Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establish. ment, 244. Strand, London. SUPPOSED BURGLAR SROT.—A respectable young man, giving the name of Tyrell, was brought before the magistrates at Manchester on Monday, charged with shoot ing a young man named Joseph Haigh, about seven days ago. The prisoner, who had surrendered voluntarily, said he W 7.9 sleeping at a lodging-house in Hutton-street, and about three o'clock in the morning he heard some one attempting to force the back door and the back window shutters alter nately. He looked out from the back bed-room window, and saw two men there. lie told them to desist, and threatened to fire if they did not. One man still persisted, and Tyrell having a large sum of money in his pocket, and suspecting that these men had some knowledge of it, he in his alarm fired a pistol at the man who was still vigorously attempt ing to force the door. The naJn then exclaimed ‘, your impudence !" and went away. The prisoner did not know whether the charge took effect at the time, but called a policeman and told him what he had done. Haigh, it ap pears, received the charge in one shoulder, and went away. Next day he called at a dispensary for something to dress his shoulder with, not telling that the perforations in it had been produced by a pistol-shot, but stating that he had fallen down some cellar steps. The neglect has now ren dered it doubtful whether he will recover; and hence in quiries were made after the person who fired the shots, which induced him to surrender. Haigh has been once con victed of burglary. The prisoner was admitted to bail in two sureties of 501. each. AN EAGLE CAPTURED.—A few days ago a large eagle, quite a rara aria in this part of the country, was taken in a trap near the mansion of J. Arkwright, Esq., of Hamp ton-court, Herefordshire, by one of the under-keepers. Th• man had much difficulty in taking the bird from the trap, as it had only been caught by one of its claws. With the aid of a forked stick he got the bead of the bird under his foot, and was enabled to take the bird alive. Its wings, when ex panded, measure seven feet from tip to tip. It is said to be of the golden species.— Worcester Journal, Hoare, Joseph, Esq.

CATHOLIC LAW AND - GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTR f-STREET, LE IC ESTER-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 Englar..".. and but two in Treland—one, for 5001. and the other for 2001.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered hom severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1549, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve mouths preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 123, comprising 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 Ist of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. its. 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. 11d. since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,1831. lie. 10d. 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 Archhistrp of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque de 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.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0' 01. (Incorptrated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ara —Moderate and equitable Rates or Premium for each class or risk—Annual division of Profits. Ihe difficulty of collecting the elements on which, to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so :reat, that the rates at presmt charged arc more the result of guess ban calculation. It has been found by experience. that the total annual lo , ses 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 b 3 made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu ranca 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 or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this Question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to tic e, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual in vestiga'ion will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of 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 wort 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 met it, When every one expected "yon" to get it ; T get the berth, I mean, of Laureate Bard, The lo!'s of which you seem to take so hard. But, really, what with one thing anti another, You're far more honoured than your laurelled brother. Think for a moment, cousin, what you are— The muse of MOSES, that commercial star. ?roud would your brother be if he cou'd jump From his 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 Sour exalted brother, ALFRED TENNYSON.

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.

THE LATE PROMOTION OF MATES.—In C;117;011 fair ness to Mr. J. H. Cave, the junior of the mates promoted this week, stated to have been of the Excellent, we must say this officer belonged to the Royal Naval Col lege, and from that establishment he most deservedly obtained the lieutenant's commission (which is given as a prise by the Admiralty every six months) for having obtained the highest degree of proficiency after a c mrse of twelve months' study. As second masters have now to pass the college examinations likewise, it would be only fair to those officers either to give them a chance with the mates for the superior commission, or to esta blish a prize of promotion to the rank of master for the most proficient officers. THE LATE SERVICES OF THE INCONSTANT FRIGATE. —An esteemed correspondent has sent us the follow ing:—" I have gathered the following information, in teresting to yourself and many of your readers, from the log of a young officer, a near rela•ive' of mine. lately returned from the Pacific in her Majesty's ship Inconstant. That ship sailed from Rio de Janeiro on the 27th of November, 1848, and reached Ply mouth Sound on the same day and month of the present year. Within these two years, besides her voyage from Rio to Valparaiso and her voyage from that port to England, she traversed the Pacific from south to north, and from north to south, six times between Valparaiso and Mazatlan, San Francisco and Vancouver's Island, and counting the time of her lying off Mazatlan, six miles from the land, was actually at sea nearly four fifths of the whole two years. While the ship was sta tioned at San Francisco, Captain Shepherd, who was thanked by the underwriters at Lloyd's for the important service—t,ent three detachments with an officer at the head of each, to the relief of merchant-vessels, partially deserted by their crews, and brought his frigat,,— shortened as she was, and further weakened by sicknesg among the remaining ship's companyLback to Valpa raiso. This sample of a British frigate's performance miy possibly convince some of Mr. Cobden's admir,rs that our men-of-war do render, even in these times of p-vc ,, , substantial public service ; and that Poor Jack' does not eat the junk of idleness." THE MEDITERRANEAN FLEET: MALTA, DEC. 15 Y esterdAy arrived the Terrible and Scourge steim t~ igates, from the fleet.

SIR,--Tbe approach of the Great Exhibition has quickened the activity, not only of every art and science, but of all description s of human industry and ingenuity, however irregular or sportive may be their bent. And, in accordance with the spirit of the motto which stands at the head of this casual communica tion, some of the best known chess -players of England, and some of the most influential of the devoted patrons of the subtlest and profoundest of games, have deter mined, with the aid of their friends, to make a slight and recreative contribution towards the universality of the shows of the forthcoming Exhibition, ritber than not contribute at all. " Thue mit stiller Treue das Kleine wuzu Du das Berta hest." There are many deplrtments in the "sporting world." Front those whi delizht in the " warlike exercise" of the Chace to those who devote all their leisure to the war-ruling exercise of the brains, in the refined mental palaestra of chess, there is a long way with many intertneiiate ; the votaries of chance, of mixed strength and chance, of mixed skill and chance—until you come to the votaries of pure and unmixed. To the last cal - egory be long de admirers of chess, a large and growing federation, who now possess organs of their own, a literature of their own ; and who, indeed, in thy vicissitudes of travel, find themselves more widely and more effectually welcomed or introduced, than can be said even of the members of the arch-frater nity of Masonry itself. The chess-players of England may be said, without unfairness, to occupy at present the foremost place in this universal brotherhood. Our best player, Mr. Howard Staunton, has never been defeated by a foreign adversary; and has' never shrank from a trial of strength with any great amateur who would engage him. Though it might require the skill of an actuary to calcu late what are the precise odds in his his favour against Hydebrandt von der Sasa, yet some odds would surely be given by any English votary of chess, in backing him against the profound German, the most famous player on the continent. Of course it is to be conceded that a man engaged in diplomatic duties has not the same leisure which Mr. Staunton has, for several years, independently devoted - to chess ; but whatever the reason may be, such is the general and the confident opinion in England. Not withstanding this, as there never has been an en counter between the two great players, nor, in truth, between English players, generally, and foreign players ; and, as a considerable amount of scepticism prevails abroad respecting the rank which ought to be awarded to the English mind in this inexorable gym nasium of intellect, our compatriots have determined, with their well-known gallantry, to challenge all the world to a great Chess Tournament. It will be such an event as has never occurred in the annals of chess, or of any other game. The great prize to the principal victor will be, if possible, made large enough to render it worth while to such men as Der Sasa to enter the lists. It is even contemplated, if the munificence of the nobility and of the open handed English gentry, who are the factors of this design, furnish the means to contribute towards the expenses of any very able respondent to the challenge, who may come in a chivalrous spirit, though at a pe cuniary inconvenience to himself. Long have English chess-players desired to give such a challenge to the four corners of the compass, but it seemed beyond realization. The great Exhi bition devised by Prince Albert has altered the case. The challenge has become a feasible thing ; and accordingly it has gone forth. A committee has been formed of noblemen and gentlemen, all fond of chess, most of them eminently skilful, one of them the best (as it should seem) player in the world, and weekly sittings are now held at 5, Cavendish-square, to ma ture all the details. Besides the great prize, it is intended to give a provincial player's prize; a prize for those wbo take the same odds from the highest class ; and various minor prizes. It has also been resolved by the com mittee that an authentic report (with notes, critical and explanatory, by Mr. Staunton) of all the games so be played at the tournament, shall be presented to every subscriber of one guinea and upwards. The funds for these objects are fast accumulating. Though the competition for the prizes will be thrown open " to all corners," yet, as there must be some single place of encounter and assembly, it has been definitively resolved that the play shall take place at the St. George's Club, Cavendish-square, among other reasons, for these,—the rooms are among the finest of the kind in London ; thky are central ; they are very conveniently situated with respect to the scene of the Great Exhibition , they are already engaged for the purpose ; and they alone are suitable and agreeable to the most influential votaries of chess in the kingdom. I am sure, Sir, in the encyclopse lic and poly technic character of your sympathies, you will look with plea.ure on this contemplated addition to the varieties with which London will be sig nalized in the great forthcoming Exhibition. To play chess well requires temper and many other moral qualities, invention and many other intellec tual attributes. The greatest philosopher of Anglo- Saxon America wrote a treatise to prove its valuable tendencies. The greatest philosopher of Germany declared that it should be called rather a science than a game. From Frederick the Second back wards, the most illustrious statesmen, the mightiest conquerors, and th e greatest men of the east and the west, have practised it as a lesson, and have studied it as a system of wild and imaginative mathematics. Since the day when, during the battle of Angora, the great Asiatic bent his yellow locks and broad head over his game of chess, after having given the orders which broke the power of Bajszet the Second, all thoughtful and cultivated minds, even to our own time, have admired and loved this field of signi ficant speculation.—l am, Sir, &c., Cavendish-square.

NEW METHOD Or PAYING IN TRUCK AT WALSALL. —At the Guildhall, on Wednesday last, before the Mayor and H. James. Esq., Mr. James Marlow, an ironfounder in this town, was summoned under the Truck Act, for having, on the 19th inst., paid to William Nock, one of his work men, goods to the amount of Ils. Id. on account of his wages, instead of the current coin of the realm. Mr. Duignan ap peared for the prosecution, on the part of the Society for the Suppression of th e T ommy s ystem ; and Mr. Barnett was employed for the defence. The evidence disclosed that the defendant was in the habit of giving cheques, purporting to be drawn on the Birmingham Banking Company, but it was said not payable there or at the branch bank in this town, for certain stalls en account of wages. in reality, the cheques were to be taken to the shop of the defendant's son in Peel-street, where tommy to the amount, of the cheque was given to the persons presenting it. This was clearly proved in the case of Nock, who had taken a cheque for the amount , in question, and received tommy in exchange at the shop alluded to. The bench fined the defendant 51. ana costs. There were other informations against the de fendant, but the hearing of them was postponed. — Woke haniptori Chronicle.
