JOWETT, Manufacturer, 532, New Oxford-street. THE WrDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDW ARD HOLLEST, of Frhnley. Surrey —Frimley, Bag ah,t, December 31,1450.—An earnest APPEAL to public benevolence is respectfully submitted by a few friends and neighbours on behalf of the WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD MLLES I', who for a p se,.l of 1i years, in an exe.nplary 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 suddenly cut off is universally known, hut 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. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case of Mr:. Holiest will commend itself to the generous consideration of those who are blessed with the means of alleviating, so far as human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a family so fearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of Mrs. Holiest does not exceed 401. per annum, and subscriptions are earnestly solicited In aid of these inadequate means. Subscriptions will he thankfully received by the following bankers :—Messrs. henries: Farquhar, and Co.; Messrs Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, and Co. ; Messrs Coutts, and Co.; Niessrg. SiniTh, Payne, and Co.; Sir S. Scott, Bart., and Co., 1, Cavendish square ; Messrs. Mangles Brothers, Guildford; Messrs.

We have great pleasure in announcing another in stance of official appreciation of gallantry and good ser vice in maintaining the honour of the British flag, and in suppressing the infamous slave trade. At the earnest recommendation of the Gallant Rear-Admiral com manding-in-chief the squadron on the south-east coast of America, the Admiralty have promoted the com mander of the Cormorant, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Herbert Schomberg (1841), to the rank of captain, ho haring, in the opinion of Rear-Admiral Reynolds, aimed his aivancement, for his successful cruising against the slavers on his station, but more especially for his recent destruction of a fort that had fired upon the Cormorant and killed and wound: d some of his crew when in the performance of his duty in capturing some notorious slavers. Captain Schomberg is brother of Carnmander Schomberg, of the West India flag-ship Wellesley, and is the eldest son of the late Admiral Schomberg. He entered the navy in 1817, Wll3 promoted in 1827, and served as first lieutenant of the Melville, flag-ship at China. THE LATE CAPTAIN OF THE VENGEANCE—The Ad miralty have ordered a public funeral for the late Sir Henry M. Blackwood, Bart., and we understand the gallant deceased expressed a desire to be buried at Has- Jar. The flag of the Vengeance has been lowered half flag-staff high, and the ship has been put into mourning, out of compliment to her late captain, who was much be loved by all on beard. To those of our readers who do not understand the term putting the ship in mourning, we may state that it is merely washing over with lamp black her aid( s, streaks, and port-holes, which are usually painted white. This gives a very dull and mournful appearance to the vessel. We are very sorry to announce that Lady Blackwood is seriously ill. Birkenhead steam-sloops crew are to return to their respective ships, and her marines to barracks. The ship to be placed in first division of steam reserve at Portsmouth. • Fairy screw-tender, Master-Commander Welch, has been undecked at Portsmouth. Bee screw-tender has been taken in. Fant , me, 12, Commander Gennys, left Portsmouth on Tuesday for Devonporr, to join the Calliope, 26, and to be paid advance before proceeding to New Zealand. AFPOINTMENTS. WOOLWICH, JAN.

MILDNESS OF THE SEASON.—WOOLWICH JAN 8. —Several honey-bees were observed to-day carrying home pollen or bee-bread into their hives, a circumstance which has always been considered of early occurrence when wit nessed in the middle of February. The working bees have been very active during the mid lle of the days of the last and the present week, in carrying out the dead bees from their hives and cleansing and preparing them for spring ope rations. which will evidently be earlier this season than they have been for many years past. The long period of exceed • ingly mild weather of the winter of 18 S 0•51, has caused the hive bees to consume their honey in greater quantities than they do in severe winters, and those who keep these winged lancers, would do well to feed them with a little honey during the present fine Weather.

PEPYS' DIARY AND CORRESPONDENCE. —Cheap Re issue in Five Monthly Volumes, price 6s. each.—Vol. L —We place sl high a value on Pepys' Diary, as the richest and most delightful contribution ever made to the History of English Life and Manners in the latter half of the seventeenth century, that we record with peculiar pleasure the re-Tsue of latest and best edition of it, at a price which brings it within the reach of all readers. The five handsome volumes are now to re-appear at something like one-half their original cost, and, so issued, there is not any publication of the time which deserves a more extended patronage. The book is admirably edited, and in the restored passages . alone contains an amount of original matter equal to an entire third of th e Diary as first published— th e se being often the m; , st charac teristic and Pepysian passages of Mr. Pepys. And so we commend the good Secretary of the Admiralty to a wider circle of friends than he has yet had the chance of gathering round him. Literature comma no pleasanter compenicc— Examiner. REPEAL OF THE WINDOW DUTIES. Last night a crowded meeting of delegates from the various metropolitan pithhes as.iembled at the Mary lebone Court-house, in order to determine upon some more effectual measures than have yet been taken to secure the abolition of the window-tax, and to ar range the preliminaries of a deputation to the Right lion. the Chancellor of the k xch!squer upon the subject. _ _ Mr. J. A. Nicholay occupied the chair, and was iupportf d by Mr. Wakley, M.P.; Lord Dudley Stuart, ALP.; Mr. Wy Id, M P.; Mr. Bell, M.P.; Sir De Lacy Evans, M.P. ; Mr. W. Williatna, M P., and others. There was also a large attendance of the :ate-pa3ers belonging to the Marylebone Ratepayers Protection Association. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the meeting, stated that he had received a communication t'roin Sir James Dnke, expressive of regret that he was unable to attend the meeting, but of his determi nation to give his aid in the repeal of this most ob noxious itnpost.—(Cheers.) It was with no small degree of satisfaction that he observed so many mem bers cf the Legislature present on this truly important occasion, and so many members of the metropolitan parishes also in attendance. It was not at all necessary to go into detail as to the evils of the window-tJx, they were so well known and impressed on the minds of the public, suffice it to say, that as a proof of the obnoxious character of the tax amongst all classes, whether a candidate for Parliamentary honours now was a Catholic or Dissenter, Whig, Tory, or Radical, he had inscribed on his banners, " Total and imme diate repeal of the Window-tax."—(Hear, hear.) Nothing could be more indicative of public feeling than this.—(Rear, hear.) Mr. WHITMORE, a member of the Marylebone vestry, said it was proposed to makes public nerrion stration in reference to this measure. It had been proposed on a former occasion that the parishes should kTo to the Chancellor of the Exchequer separately, but it had been felt that such a proceeding would divide their forces, and that it would be much better that they should go up in a body.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Whitmore moved the first resolution : " That deputations from each of the metropolitan perishes, accompanied by the metropolitan Members, end ether Members of Parliament favourable to the repeal of the window-tax, be invited to meet at the Court-house, St. Marylebon- ' and proct ei iu a body to wait upon the Chancellor of the Each( quer, for the purpose of urging the total, immediate, and uncon dititnal repeal of the window-tax, and that Viscount Duncan, M.P., be respectfully requested to head such deputation." Mr. BROWN, of St. James's, said he most condially concurred in the proposal that the deputations from the various parishes should go up to the Chancellor ,f the Exchequer in a body. ILs very well remem bered the result of deputations on this subject as well is the repeal of the house-tax to the late Lord Althorp, when Chancellor of the Exchequer. It was (rue that Lord Althorp was not in the fiwourable po ,ition of the present Chancellor, with a surplus re venue. When they first went to Lord Althorp, he said, " Well, gentlemen, as you ask me to take three millions of taxation off, what do you propose as a substitute ?''—(Laughter.) They replied that was no portion of their business, and his Lordship re marked that he saw no external demonstration except in Westminster ; and, unless he found that such was the case, he could not move in the matter.—(Bear ) The result was, in a few days after, the largest depu tion that aver entered the halls of Downing-street, headed by all the metropolitan Members, and the Members for Surrey, Middlesex, &c., twenty-two members of Parliament in all.—(Hear, hear.) They not only on that occasion compelled their Members to go with them to the Chancellor, but they compelled them when they got there to do their duty. The deputation consisted of two from every parish, and amounted to 126 members in all, and when Lord Althorp came into the room his hair literally stood on end.—(Laughter.) They told his Lordship chat this was not all they could do ; and the result was they succeeded in getting off the house tax. — (Hear, hear.) It was proper, therefore, that they hould now adopt a similar proceeding with regard to 'he window-tax.—(Hear, hear.) Let them 10.1 at he position of the present Chancellor of the Exche quer ; he had a surplus of 3i millions, two millions which he proposed to apply to the National Debt, end he had then 1i millions of clear surplus, out of ,vhich the people were determined this tax should be repealed.—(Cheers.) Mr. Brown went into statistics, &rid urged the meeting to accept no compromise, bu , rather keep the tax on than consent to any modifi cation. Mr. W. WILLIAMS would feel it to be unnecessary - o waste any time in detailing to a meeting like that she oppressiveness and injustice of this tax. It lay in a nutshell. Out of 3, 500 , 000 houses in Great Britain , only 487,000 paid the tax ; and in those the inequality and injustice of the impost were most apparent. He would take the three first Dukes upon the peerage dst, and he found that the tax amounted to I 2i, snd 3 per cent. upon the rental ; whilst he would find thousands of poor tradesmen Rho paid window-tax to the amount of from 25 to 27 per cent., so that they oaid 14 times as much as the richest and noblest in the land.—(Hear, hear.) He had carefully examined the consequences to the revenue of the abolition of taxation for a great number of years past, and he found that, up to the year 1846, the actual loss to the revenue had only amounted to one-third of the ium which the tax formerly used to produce. Iu 1846 when the great articles of consumption were freed from taxation, scarcely one tax that had been repealed had diminished the revenue in the least. He ventured to say, if the Chancellor of the Exchequer would give up the 1,800,000/. which the window-tax yielded that the real loss to the revenue would be nothing like 700,0001. In conclusion, he designated the tax as a most unjust, a most oppressive. and he would add, a most impious tax.—(Cheers ) Mr. SYMEs, of Islington, and Mr. FREETH, of Nlarylebone, also supported the resolution. The motion was then put to the meeting and car ried with exclamation. Mr. BELL, M.P., for St. Alban's, proposed the second resolution : "That the foregoing resolution be communicates to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with a respectful re quest that he will be pleased to appoint an early day to receive such deputations; and that a meeting of the said deputations be convened, and other arrangements made by the managing committee as soon as an answer be re ceived from the Right Hon. Gentleman." The Hon. Gentleman expressed his intention of being present when this question was mooted in the House of Commons. He believed had two or three gentle men been present when the motion was brought for ward last session, who were absent, but who ought to have been there, the scale would have been turned. Mr. MICHIE seconded the resolution. Mr. HEALEY regretted that they were now called upon to oppose this tax; fur had the metropolitan Members done as they had promised, it would have been repealed long ago. They were told by those Members, who ought to have done their duty man fully, what they ought now to do, and how they ought to do it ; but that came very badlyC from Mem bers of Parliament now, and he apprehended that it was the near approach of the dissolution of Parlia tnent that was warning some of those gentlemen that it was time they began to set their houses in order. Mr. \VYLD, M.P., cordially supported the resolu tion, and contended that the metropolitan Members would be perfectly justified in offering an obstructive policy to the proceedings of the Government should this tax not be conceded. Lord DUDLEY STUART, M.P., was delighted to see so large and respectably composed a meeting of men determined to go to the Minister, and to tell him that whatever measure he might introduce in the next session of Parliament, one above all was essential, and that was the repeal of the window-tax. — Whether there were a surplus or no surplus be ere d Dudley Stuart) cared not, for if the people wer e well that the termined not to pay it he knew very . th • Government would find some means of meeting their (Cilecr);.) demands, or if they could not, they were no longer fit to be entrusted with the Government of this great . country.—(Cheers.) General Sir De L. Evato, M P., said the time had now come when it behoved the metropolitan consti tuencies to assert their rights, for, as had been truly observed, this was almost an entirely metropolitan tax. He bad never beard one plausible argument in favour of this taw, except that it we.' almost what m i g h t be called an aristocratic tax ; but whilst only 487,000 houses paid the impost, he should like to know bow many houses had been restricted of light and air by their desire to avoid this tax. He would venture to say at least half a million. Some obser vations had been made with reference to certain Members of Parliament not having been present at the last division in the House of Commons ; but he begged to say that if all had been there they would not have succeeded—(Cries of " No excuse.") True, it was no excuse ; but, although Members of Par liament did their duty, they never could succeed un less there was a positive determination out of doors to get rid of the tax.—(Cheers.) Mr. WARLEY, M.P., was glad to have heard the tone of the discussion, because it Appeared that at last the inhabi•antA of the metropolis had tii,do oh their minds, that in fact they had determined that this tax should be repealed.—(Cheers.) The real ob struction to the Government was to withhold the sup- Plies i bat to talk a little against them, and then to vote them ineney, was ust the thing they liked ex cessively. The real obstruction to the Governm.nt would arise from the constituencies showing that they eseepeeieLearnest that this obnoxious tax should be re pealed ; for when the Ministers found that the metropolitan Members were so fortified and sanc tioned in their proceedings by their constituents, they would no longer be able to charge the Members who adopted an obstructive policy with illiberality or in justice, for, in point of fact, they would only be exer cising the functions which belonged to them from the very constitution of the House of Commons, it being the very nat ure o f th a t popu l ar Assembly that before supplies should be granted grievances should be redressed, and this was a grievance of such an ex tent that words could not describe it.—(Cheers.) He contended that they should not charge Members of the House of Commons with not doing their duty if the constituencies would not do theirs.—(Hear, hear.) He asked them had they now e ven " sc r ewe d their courage to the sticking -place," were they now even prepared to instruct their Mem hers to withhold the supplies, should this tax not be repealed I ) —(Loud cheers.) If they would not come to that resolution he thought that they should not charge Members of Parliament with neglecting their duty, for if the constituencies dii theirs, he was confident their representatives would do theirs. At the same time they should bear in mind that a man could not always control his own actions ; and last session of Parliament, IN hen the window-tax question was raised, he was, unfortunately unwell. Upon every former occasion he had both spoken and voted against the tax ; and in 1848 he had stated, as he stated now, that the whole matter rested with the metropolitan constituencies.—(Hear, hear.) He was delighted to find that his Hon Friend near him (Mr. IV. Williams) was now a metropolitan Member, and he could speak to his bold and manly conduct.— (Hear, hear.) He had seen the wonderful effects of his speeches where there was so much distaste for truth that the moment the Hon. Gentleman got on his legs, three or four Members might be seen running away from him.—( Laughter.) He thought it was hardly fair that constituencies should com plain of their Members if they were not prepared to act themselves. Let the constituencies call up‘n their Members to tell the Government that they sl:ould not have money if they did not re dress g; ievances. He hoped to see petitions showered into the House of Commons like hailstones, and that every man who rented a house or room would send in his individual petiton. His Hon. Friend the gallant General near bins seemed to think the stoppage of supplies an extreme measure; but it must be remem bered that this was an extreme measure, of the most disgracefal and immoral character, and if after all other means had failed with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, or with Parliament by petition, then, in his (Mr. Wakley's) opinion, there was but one course, and that would be, the withholding the sup. plies.—(Cheers,) The resolution was then ca lied unanimously. Mr. FREETH moved, and Mr. BROWN seconded a vote of thanks to the metropolitan Members wholhad attended that meeting, which was also put and carried nem. con. Mr. W. WILLIAMS, M.P., in returning thanks, observed that if the twenty-two metropolitan Mem bers would determine with him in stopping the sup phes, unless this tax was repealed, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Government would soon give way.—(Hear.) Tne CHAIRMAN begged to remark that Lord John Russell, as . a tnetropo!itan Member, had been invited to that meeting—(Laughter)—but he was not there. —(Hear, and laughter.) Nor had he had the courtesy to answer th ,, communication. Had they had his Lordship there for half an hour he (the Chairman) had no doubt but they would have derived a great deal of information, and might also have told his Lord ship that which would have done him a great deal of good.—(Cheers and laughter.) Lord DUDLEY STUART reiterated the views of Mr. Williams, in reference to a stoppage of the supplies, amidst loud cheering A resolution to the effect—" That petitions of meet ings .should not, in future, be signed by chairmen on behalf of meetings, as they were only counted as one by the House of Commons, but by the meeting indi vidually," was ultimately adopted ; and after some further discussion a vote of thanks WAS passed to the chairman, and the meeting separated. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Return.) In the week ending last Saturday the deaths registered in the metropolitan districts amounted to 1,369. Taking ten corresponding weeks, namely, the first in each of the last tea years (1841-50), it will be seen that the present return shows a greater number than in any year except 1845, when the deaths rose to 1,417; and 1847, when they were 1,510, during a week of low temperature (the mean reading cf the thermometer having scarcely ex ceeded 29 deg.). In 1848 the deaths of the week amounted to 1,364, when the mortality was aggravated by influenza, which had not aisappeared, but was rapidly on the decline. The average of the ten weeks was 1,167, which, if corrected for increa,e of population, becomes 1,273. The zymotic or epidemic class of fatal diseases, which in the present return numbers 239 cases, exhibits little difference when compared with the previous week; but the class comprising affections of the respiratory organs shows a considerable advance, the deaths therein enumerated having risen from 264 to 321—a result pro bably due to unseasonable warmth and muicure of the weather. It will be observed with a mean daily tem perature which has been throughout the week much higher than is usual at this season, hating ranged from 5 to 14 degrees above the average, that whereas bron chitis, pneumonia, and phthisis (or consumption) were fatal in 120, 90, and 124 cues respectively in the pre -I,i )us week. they have now risen to 152, 101, and 147. Diseases of the organs of respiration, exclusive of hoop ing cough and phthisis, were fatal in the aggregate last week to 321 persons, whilst the corrected average is only 257, Amongst epidemics, smallpox carried off 24 children, and 4 men who had turned 20 years of age; measles 29 children, scarlatna 14, hooping cough 58, and croup 9. Typhus destroyed 48 persons of various ages (rather more than the average), influenza 5, erysipelas 14, diarrhcei 19. A case of cholera, described as Asiatic, is recorded, of which the particulars are given as follow : —On the 30th of December, at the Mile-end Workhouse, a cbymist. aged 66 years, "cholera Asiatic (24 hours)." He came from Shadwell to the workhouse, of which he had beeu an inmate three years. He was a paralytic, and was sudden y seized with cholera on Sunday. But the sum of mortality entered in the register books last week is, as tefore, c.nside.rahly swelled by more than the f.ir contingent ef cases on which inquests have been held, many at earlier dates, and a great ma jority of which fall under the several descriptions of poison, improper medicine, burns and scalds, banging and suffocation, drowning, fractures, contusions, and teller injury. Six persons died from poison, among whom was an infant, on the 26th ult., to which the nurse had given Dover's powder (containing opium) by mistake, the medicine having been intended for the mother. Of 27 p rsons who met death from burns or SO Aids, 21 were children, and in 16 cases the accident oc curred from the clothes taking fire. Sixteen deaths oc curred from drowning, and 48 from fractures, wounds, &c., of which 16 were by falls on the streets or from windows, stairs, aad scaffolds, 3 by falls on board ship, 10 by horses and carriages, 4 by machinery. A man was suffocated on a lime-kiln, and 3 children in the bed clothes. Nine children died from want of breast-milk; a man from privation, besides a child of seven months " from disease of the head and scanty supply of food." Two men were the victims of intemperance, besides two who received fatal injury when in a state of intoxication. The births of 829 - boys and 763 girls, in all 1,592 children, were registered in the week. The average number in corresponding weeks of six years (1845-50) was 1,469. MORTALITY in the :METROPOLIS.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—About two o'c'ock en Sfl• turilay morning a man named Brown, a heckler, was found in the Old Fislimarket-close, having a razor in his hand, with which be had inflicted a deep gash in his throat. The wound bled profusely ; and upon being questioned as to his rash conduct, he coolly replied that he " was cutting his throat." He was removed by the watchman on the beat to the Infirmary. The unfortunate UM WAS the WOO, of liquor. ..-Edinburgh Cowan& -Xlo 0 0 - 20 0 0 -5 0 0 - 10 0 0 - 10 0 0 - 5 00 10 0 0 1 0 0 - 1 0 0 -2 0 0 3 0 0 2 0 0 2 00 2 0 0 - 1 1 0 1 1 0 - 2 00 5 0 0 'Gibson, G.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0 OZ. (Incorp waled under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. H O.) The leadin ! z principles of this Office ara —Moderate and equitable Rates 01 Premium fur each ci use or risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion tremium 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 calcu'ation. _ _ 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 aperoximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is esta'elished. The true rate of Prem'um for Fire Insurance can only be ap proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted n, 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 Avenge, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant anal‘ sis of its own experience, from 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 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 Clattse.

ATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE 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 Englanf., and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 200/.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This 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 Ist of June, 1949, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Prop isals were made for 133 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 121, 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, assuran^es were 'effected to the extent of 110,972/. 12s 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. I Is. 63. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,910/. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,991/. 15s. I Id. since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., bat 1,183/. Ils. 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 Archbish •p of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parlsis, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con• eiderable 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.
