GEORGE EDWARD 16LLESP, of Frinaley, Surrey, —Frimley, Bag shot, December 31, 1550.—A it earnest APPEAL to public benevolence is respectfully submitted by R few friends and neighbours on behalf of the WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD HOW .ES who for a period of 14 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. Ilollest was suddenly cut off is universally known, but those only who are acquainted with his posi tion are aware that he never had the mea:gs of making a provisi•n for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case of Mrs. Holiest will commend itself to the generous consideration of those who are blessed with the means of alleviating, so tar as human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a family so fearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of Mrs. llollest does not exceed 40/. per annum, and subscriptions are earnestly solicited in aid of these inadequate mealy. Subscriptions will he thankfully received by the following bankers :—Messrs. Berries, Farquhar, and Co.; Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, and Co. ; Messrs. Coutts, and Co.; Al essrs. Smith, Payne, and Co.; Sir S. Scott, Bart., and Co., I, Cavendish square; Messrs. Mangles Brothers, Guildford; Messrs.

The Committee have the satisfaction to state that her Majesty the Queen, the Duchess of Gloucester, ant the Bishop of Winchester, have sanctioned their exertions by very liberal donatiens.

She was then allowed to ground on the blocks, when there was no sensible difference. When the water left the dock six after blocks were removed from under the keel, and the ship was allowed to overhang without them, when no alteration took place, although she remained in this position for some time. This experiment was per fectly satisfactory to the engineers, as it proved that the ship was sufficiently rigid to prevent any bend ing taking place. This admits of the screw shaft being fitted with every degree of correctness and certainty. The bottom was seen to be rather foul as the water left the dock. ARRIVAL OF THE BIRKENHEAD FROM ASCENSION. —The Birkenhead steam-vessel, Master-Commander Oyten, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday afternoon, about two o'clock, from Ascension, which place she left on the sth December, having conveyed the pro visions and stores in safety. She has brought stores from the island, and touched at Madeira corning home as well as going out. The Birkenhead has made a rapid passage out and home, and has done good service. Amphitrite, 26, Captain Frederick, and Bee steam tender, go out of Portsmonth Basin on Wednesday ; and the Bee will be docked after the Fairy is un docked. Fairy screw-tender, is to be tried on Thursday at the measured mile, to test the new patent pliable steel screw, She has had a coating of Mr. Hay's varnish while in dock. This composition seems to answer most admirably, as the Fairy was perfectly clean when she came into dock, after six months' wear. Crane, 6, packet-brig, Lieutenant-Commander Parsons, arrived at Devonport from Falmouth, on Friday night, to be paid off, and then fitted similar to the Penguin and Express, for service on the coast of Africa. Sampson. 6, steam-frigate, Captain Jones, will be taken into No. 5 Dock, at Devonport, to clean her copper. DEYONPORT DOCKYARD., JAN. 5, 1851.—Lee, the labourer, late in the employ of Mr. Clift, the con tractor, who was detected attempting to pass out of the yard with copper in his possession some few weeks since, was tried yesterday it the session•, and sen tenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. William Macey, the police-constable detected at tempting to embezzle copper which he had taken from a store-chest, the skeleton-key being found in his possession, was also tried yesterday, and sentenced to be transported for ten years. PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.— The Cyclops steam frigate, Captain the Hon. G. F. Hastings, was at St. Helena, detained on her passage to England on account of a court of inquiry. The Hecla steam-sloop, Com mander Beauchamp, was at Ascension, with the Tortoise store and guard ship. On going into Ma deira she found the Harlequin, 12, Commander Wil- mot, anchored in 80 fathoms of water (!) She took her in tow and left her in shallower water. Not liking to distress the coal depot at Ascension, the Birkenhead was very short when she arrived at Madeira. She has brought home condemned stores, and came into harbour to refit this afternoon. The Fantome, 12, Commander Genneys, was .owed out to Spithead this morning. She sails to- morrow for Devonport, to ship the mails for the coali of Africa. The Mermaid convict ship is detained at Spithead by measles, which have broken out among the children on hoard. PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY.—A statement relative to the alleged discontented condition of the crew of the frigate Indefatigable having been officially contra dicted on Saturday, we have endeavoured to obtain more explicit intormation on the subject, and in so doing have put ourselves into communication with some of the crew who intend to remain in the ship, as well as with those who wish to leave her. Per sons acquainted with the strict discipline sometimes observed towards the officers and crews of her Majesty's ships will be best able to appreciate the difficulty of obtaining such information, and this difficulty must be our answer for any unimportant error. On Tuesday last, the 31st of December, 1850, the crew of the Indefatigable, then in dock, sent a mes sage through the First Lieutenant that they wished to have personal communication with Captain Smart, and about one o'clock their request was granted, and they all came aft. The petty officers, being so au thorized by the crew, inquired if the new regulations reducing the allowance of rum from one gill to half a gill per diem was to come into operation on board of the frigate the next day (January 1), and being answered in the affirmative, they, with several of the men, openly expressed a desire not to be placed under the new regulations. Captain Smart said he would address the Port-Admiral on the subject. On Wednesday, the Ist of January, shortly after one o'clock, the men were again called aft, and Capt. Smart read the answer of Sir William Hall Gage, which stated that it was necessary for the crew of the Indefatigable, like other ships of the royal navy, to comply with the regulations of the Lords of the Ad miralty. This answer was very unpalatable to the men, some of whom reiterated their expressions of discontent, when Captain Smart called them indivi dually to him, and inquiring if they had any other cause of complaint, endeavoured very mildly, but firmly, to show how much more serviceable the addi tional pay would be to their families than the extra grog to themselves. Neither this argument nor the fear of never again being permitted to serve in the royal navy appeared to have any effect, and they re tired still discontented, Captain Smart informing them, as they understood, that the Port-Admiral would forward their complaint to the Lords of the Admiralty. On Thursday, the 2d of January, the crew solicited leave for the afternoon, end this having been very properly refused, in consequence of the necessity of taking the ship out of dock at tide•time (6 A.M. the next day), they in the evening plainly exhi bited their insubordination, by breaking in pieces the basins, plates, and other crockery belonging to their messes. The First Lieutenant went below, and or dered the Marines who were unrigged to rig arms again, and so they continued until twelve o'clock, when they dismantled. It is reported that the crew this day refused at first to leave their hulk (the Ilel lona), to go to the dockyard on the frigate's duty. The crew were shipped in draughts from several ports, and there are among them many merchant sea men, who have no claim on the Admiralty for servi tude as an inducement to remain. Above 40 are now on shore, having broken their leave, some having left on the 28th ult. She is about 150 short of comple ment, is over• proportioned with ordinary seamen, and few others are offering. The Indefatigable, as well as the dockyard authori ties have received orders for her to be equipped for sea as speedily as possible, and such is the dispatch observed that late this afternoOn Captain Smart him self, with a portion of his crew, were hoisting in the ship's tanks during heavy rain. She is nearly out of the hands of the dockyard.—Times. APPOINTMENTS. WOOLWICH, JAN. 6.—Lieutenant Augustus F.

MELANCHOLY AFFAIR.—On Thursday evening it was discovered, as the unfortunate issue proved, that a de cent shoemaker, advanced in years. of the name of Trail!, i residing n Bridgend, h a d put a period to his existence by throwing himself into the river. The causes that led to the rash act are said to have arisen from a morbid apprehension that he would be taken to gaol, as he could not be able to meet his landlord on rent-day. This feeling took so strong possession of his mind some time previous to rent-day, that he indulged considerably in liquor, and sinking into absolute despair, on the Thursday night, solicited a cup of tea from his daughter, which was given him with a caution to try and behave, to which he replied it would be the last cup he would drink. No attention was paid to the threat inferred from his words; but next morning his hat was found at the river side. The body was discovered on Saturday morning, wheeling in the strong eddy in the deep water called the "pat hole."...Perthshire Courier. EXAMPLES OF BONIISEi ALREADY DECLARED.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0001. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ar3 —.Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. Extensi' Moderat It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk he made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted on, or systematically ap7lied. 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 Classiflea.. tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant anal% six of its own experience, from time to tine, 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 Pronerty on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

" 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 advance, 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 turned 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 prote:ting them selves in every case by due inquiries before the granting• 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 pr sent 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 th 3 removal of uncertainty, and whenever that principle is counteracted in the slightest degree, the people who would be the first to resort to its advantages are the first to be deterred."—Times, July 11. 1850.

'1 he Nineteenth Century is now equally divided. The last nay of the first Fifty years has been rung out, and the first day of the succeeding Fifty has been rung in. The departure of one year, and the advent of another, are ever regarded with feelings of interest ; and the commencement of a new half century is looked upon as an epocha in the history of the world. The statesman, the historian, the philosopher, and the moralist, are equally alive to the importance and interest attaching to such a conjuncture. The dawning of the present year is viewed with unusual interest not merely because it is the initial year of a new half century, but, likewise, because it i, to be distinguished by one of the most extra ordinary events (if not the most extraordinary) that has ever transpired. It will not be expected that MOSES and SON will remain silent at a moment like the present ; more especially when it is recollected that the Proprietors make a practice at this season of acknowledg ing past obligations in trade, and soliciting future favours with a re • assurance of future endeavours. It mast be evident to everybody, that ever since E. MOSES and SON commenced, there has been a certain, unfluctuating progres sion in their trade. Like as the quicksilver of the thermometer rises in its glass, as the day opens and warms, has the trade of E. MOSES and AON risen year after year beneath the warm support of an ap proving Public. That such a simile is not a mere hyperbole, the discerning Public have abundont proof—proof too clear and conclusive to be disputed by any candid observer. The Parent Speculation •f E. MOSES and SON in the City has spread and spread year after year, till it has become the most gigan tic trading house in the world. MOSES in O s sf E still s Y nkas furtherh s i r ( SOY N. l (Brad ford have e- - r rs o ht p he r t ne i e se t u o l a r c s )c , chs t as h v a ae t ttbe t en w en nm i g m a,, p d , o ch r it t ch a he n , t s cE t e oT , Again : - so great has been the demand for the a dv an t ages h e ld out t l i b o i y o r s h a:n f d l o ' had to make distinct and special acknowledgments in the annual ad dresses of previous years. Thus far it is evident that each succeeding year has surpassed its predecessor in tke public support realized by the rreprietors. Nor can less be, with truth, asserted of the year which has just expired. Eighteen Hundred and Fifty has been distinguished by the opening of a vast West-end Eradich Dre,s Mart, the opening of which was hinted at In the annual address of last year. To each of the Establishments thus referred to, the year Eighteen Hundred and Fifty has been a year of undoubted prosperity ; prospe rity of which the proprietors fluid it difficult to convey an adequate idea, and prosperity for which they find it utterly impossible to make an adequate return in the present circular. There is one satisfac tion, however, namely—that were the Proprietors to occupy whole co:umns of the public prints in expressing the sincerity of their ac knowledgments, the public would consider their professions as utterly valueless, were their acknowledgments unaccompanied by corroborative merits. It is but reasonable to conclude that an im partial and enlightened public would not have supported E. MOSES and SON to the extent which they have done, were there not some sterling inducements held out by the Proprietors. It is admitted on all hands, that the secret of the success which E. MOSES and SON have realised, lies in the excellence and ele gance of their attire, coupled with the exceedingly moderate prices at which the articles are sold. That sueh advantages shall be extended in the year 18M, the public need not question. Teat Grand Exhibition, which the Ame rican President has denominated " The World's Fair," has not been overlooked by E. MOSES and SON. It is difficult to conceive what will be the result of such en Exhi bition ; but , hatever that result may be, E. MOSES and SON are bent on distinguishing themselves in no ordinary manner. The pre sent year has not come upon the proprietors unawares. From the very moment that her Majesty's Royal Consort gave birth to his comprehensive conception, E. MOSES and SON have been on the alert in preparing a stock of attire of every descripuon, such as no prcceding year has sitnessed. For immensity of stock, variety of assortment, quality and beauty of cloth, novelty and elegance of Mallon, and surprising ch aimless, E. MOSES and SON will be found to be unequalled. The Proprietors would here intimate, that 'he moment the Royal Commissioned commenced its operations, or as soon as the Great Ex hibition was first mentioned. they put themselves in communication with the p•incipal manufacturers in woollen and other tabrics, and that they have succeeded, by means of awarding liberal prizes, in securing some of the most tasty and novel materials for gentlemen's dress, which will be ready for exhibition at the commencement of the ensuing Spring Season. . By thas extending the advantages of their trade, the Proprietors intend to recompense a liberal public, and secure a continuance of support, so abundantly realised a present. As the West-end Branch Establishment was a project of the past year, E. MOSES and SON are induced to make a special allusion to it. The support which this speculation has received, far, im measurably far, exceeds even what the Proprietors themselves had anticipated ; such triumphant support has here been achieved by E. MOSES and SON, as fully convinces them that this opening was none other than a step in the right direction. Heartily acknowledging this special proof of success, E. MOSES and SON woul I conclude, hoping that, by the industry of all nations, the amity of all nations will be happily promoted in the year 1851.

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 John Mollard Wheeler, E.g., Collector of Customs, Jamaica, 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 mercyito any friend who may suffer from gout, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them. In this country they are of wond erful efficacy : not only am I person ally aware of their powers, but I see my friends and Ewan': intances receiving unfailing benefit from their use. I would not be without them on any account.

The following are the annual coast-guard promo. tions for the year 1851 : Commander—George Davies (1842), to the rank a captain. Lieutenants-John Bailey (1826), G. F. West brook (1826), and William Maxwell (1820), to the rank of commander. All the above are officers of old standing. Captain Davies, promoted from inspecting com mander of the Penzance district, entered the navy in June, 1813, on board the Ajax, 74. In that ship he assisted, while at the siege of St. Sebastian, in taking the island of Sta. Clara, and was present as midship man at the blockade of Rochefort and of Toulon, the surrender of Marseilles, and the capture of a vast number of the enemy's armed and other vessels. Joining next the Queen Charlotte, 100, bearing the flag of Lord Exmouth, he took part in the bombard ment of Algiers August 27, 1816, and on that oc casion be particularly attracted the notice of his Commander-in-Chief, whose orders he was through out employed in conveying to the different chips of the fleet. The boat he commanded was frequently under the necessity of being partially re manned in co nsequence o f t h e great loss of her crew in killed and wounded. In 1821 became attached to the Seringapatam, 46, in the boats of which ship he appears to have assisted at the capture and destruction of various piratical vessels in the West Indies. On his removal, in January, 1824, to the Naiad, 46, he contributed to the utter defeat, on the 31st of that month, of the Tripoli, Algerine corvette, of 18 guns and 100 men; and on the night of the 231 of May following he aided in the boats, under Lieutenant Michael Quin, at the brilliant destruction' of a 16 - gun brig, moored in a position of extraordinary strength alongside the walls of the fortress of Bona, in which were a garrison of about 400 soldiers, who from cannon and musket kept up a tremendous fire almost perpendicularly upon the deck. He after wards, in charge of the ship's barge, brought out a piratical mistico from the Island of Hydra ; and on rejoining the Seringapatam frequently landed at the head of a division of seamen in order to co-operate with the marines of that ship and of the Revenge in their hostilities against the pirates of other Greek settlements in the Archipelago. He was pro moted for his gallantry at Bons to the rank of lieu tenant, June 1, 1826, five years previously to which he bad passed his examination. Between Dec. 13, 1828 and 1831 he further served in the West Indies as First• Lieutenant of the Ranger, 28, and Mersey, 26. On July 6, 1832, he was appointed to a station in the coast-guard, which he resigned on being nomi nated to the command, Nov. 28, 1836, of the Tartar revenue-cutter. At the expiration of his servitude in the latter-vessel he returned to the coast-guard, March 27, 1840, and continued in that service, in which, and in the Tartar, he was so successful as to effect the capture of not fewer than fifteen notorious smuggling vessels, besides making numerous other seizures and many other salvages-until Jan. 1, 1842, when he was promoted to his present rank. Since July 3, 1843, he has been re-employed in the coast guard as an inspecting commander. For often hazarding his life for the preservation of his fellow creatures, by jumping overboard and otherwise, he obtained six medals from the Royal Humane Society and the National Shipwreck Institution. King Louis Philippe, in acknowledgment of his having saved the crews of three French vessels, also conferred on him two gold " medals of merit ;" and on the last occa sion his Majesty presented him with the order of the Legion of Honour. Commander Davies also received three pieces of plate, and the frequent thanks of the Board of Admiralty and of the Committee of Lloyd's Commander Maxwell has been promoted from the Worthing station, is an old coast-blockade and coast guard officer, having been in both services from 1826. He entered the navy in 1810, on board the Diana, 38, and was in the attack on the two French frigates, Imogene and Eliza, when these vessels were aground under the protection of several strong batteries at La Hogue. lie was in the Venerable, 74, when in com pany with the Cyane sloop, the French 44-gun fri gates Iphigenie and Alcmene were captured. He served successively in the West Indies and East Indies, and on the 6th November, 1819, w as promoted by Sir Home Popham Lieutenant of the Ontario, 18, in the boats of which vessel he contributed to the capture of one and destruction of another piratical schooner. He was confirmed June 9, 1820, and was appointed May 23, 1823, to the Cameleon, 10, and under the command of Captain Ryder Burton, K.H., took part January, 1324, in a close and gallant action which terminated in the boarding and capture, under the very batteries of Algiers, of the corvette Tripoli, 18 guns and 100 men, in which affair the Gallant Captain was wounded. Commander Bulley has been in the coast-guard service 20 years, and has been promoted from Ather field-station. At the Start Bay and Atherfield sta tions he distinguished himself in getting vessels, saving cargoes, and rescuing crews. Twice received the silver and once the gold medal of the Royal Ship wreck Institution, and also the large honorary medal voted by the subscribers at Lloyd's, and the thanks of the Admiralty, and the National Shipwreck In stitute, " for his praiseworthy and gallant conduct during.the memorable gale of January 13 and 14, 1843, for pushing off in his boat, with Lieutenant Vicary, when all other means had failed, and saving the crew of the brig George, of Sunderland, which ship went to pieces." He entered the navy in 1812, and in early life served against the American priva teers, shared in the operations against New Orleans, was slightly wounded in an affair up the River St. Mary, and served in the Halcyon, 18, in destroying the various nests of pirates along the shores of Cuba, Isle of Pines, and Gulf of Mexico. Commander Westbrook has been promoted from the command of the Stag revenue cutter. Off and on he has served in the coast blockade and coast guard ashore and afloat since 1827. He entered the navy in 1809, passed his examination in 1817, and was made July 26, 1826. He is the inventor of a " Peril Indicator," the object of which is to denote the approach of ground to ships. Commodore Lord John Hay, C. 8., re-hoisted his broad pendant on board the St. George on Monday morning, and resumed his duties in Devonport Dockyard. Captain Milne returns to the Admiralty and re sumes his official duties on the 9th inst. Lieutenant Algernon F. It. De Horsey (1846), of the Arrogant, 46, screw-frigate, at Portsmouth. 1.3 to be flag-lieutenant to Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour, the new Commander-in-Chief for the West Indies. Lieutenant Henry Thomas Smith (1841) died Dec. 26, aged 40. There are half-a-dozen promotions due from the rank of commander to that of captain. It is due to the long-serving and deserving officers that these va cancies should be filled up. EXPERIMENTS ON BOARD THE ARROGANT SCREW FRIGATE.—AII experiment was tried yesterday on board the Arrogant, 46, Captain Robinson, at Ports mouth, with a view to test her after-body to dis cover if there was any deflexion that would affect the screw-shaft, before the ship was allowed to take her blocks.

Yesterday morning Mr. Braidwood, the superin tendent of the London fire engine establishment, laid his report of fires, which had occurred in the me fro politan district during the past year before the managing committee, who met at the chief station in Watling-street for that purpose. Mr. Braidwood de scribed the number of premises totally destroyed and considerably damaged as being 247 ; the most extensive fire was that which occurred in Mark-lane, City, and which was not extinguished for nearly two months. The property destroyed on that occasion was roughly estimated at upwards of 200,0001., but the precise amount of loss has never been accurately learnt; neither could anything likely to be depended upon be gleaned as to the or i g i n o f th e m i s f ortune. Tne next fire of any importance was that which occurred on the night of Thursday, the 3d of October, in the South wark-bridge-road. Although the engines of the brigade were stationed immediately opposite, and the turncock was on the spot in less than two minutes after the alarm was given, the whole of Messrs. Brookes' candle works were burnt down and several houses seriously damaged. The next district which suffered, and that to a serious extent by fires, was Bermondsey. From the 14th of October to the 25th of December a great number of very a l arm i ng and devastating conflagrations happened which laid in ruins a vast amount of property. T wo fires occurred is one night, and within a short dis tance of each other, which favours the supposition that the fiendish spirit of incendiarism has been at work. Among the buildings described as consider.. ably damaged was the Travellers' Club, and had it not been for the exertions of the firemen there is no doubt that the whole of that building, as well as the Atheneum, next door, would have been destroyed. The report returns the number of buildings slightly injured as being 621, while the preceding year they were only 582. The total number of premises de stroyed and seriously damaged in 1849 was 256, being nine more than last year. The total number of fires of all kinds last year was 868, while in 1849 they were only 838, showing an increase of 30 during the past twelve months. The false alarms last year were 91, while the year before they were only 76, which will give an increase of 15. The chimneys on fire last year were 79, while in 1849 there were 89, show ing a decrease of 10. The number of fatal fires last year was 17, and the number of lives lost 18, while the number of persons who perished from the same cause in the preceding year was 26. The total number of calls for assistance during the past year was 1,038, while in 1849 the calls were 1,003, show ing an increase of 35 during the past year. The origin of a great many fires cannot be accounted for ; a great number, however, are returned as being caused by sparks, gas, lucifer matches, smoking to bacco, drunkenness, and explosion of fireworks—by the latter nearly 100 houses were seriously damaged, as well as the parochial school and spacious church in Spitalfields, a few months since.
