GEORGE EDWARD HOLLEST, of Frimley, Surrey —Frimley, Bag shot, December 4, 1350.—An earnest APPEAL to public benevolence is respectfully submitted by a few friends and neighbours on behal! of the WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD BOLLES f, 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 suddenly 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 provision 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 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 ina !equate means. Subscriptions will be 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.; Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co.; Sir S. Scott, Bart., and Co., I, Cavendish square; Messrs. Mangles Brothers, Guildford; Messrs. Stevens and Blandy, Reading; also by the following members of the Com mittee : R. R. Bayley, Esq., Mitchett, Fernley, Bagshot. J. F. Burrell, Esq., Manor House, Fernley. Rev. J. H. Clayton, Farnborough, Bagshot. Rev. John Lawrell, Cove, Bagshot. Sir Walter Farquhar, Bart., Farn)orough-place, Bagshot. Thomas Longman, Esq., Farnborough-hill, Bagshot. Captain Castles Edward Mangles, Poyle-park, Farnham, Surrey. The Commit' ee have the satisfaction to state that her Majesty the Queen, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Bishop of Winchester, have sanctioned their exertions by very liberal donations.

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 England. and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2801.—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. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. fid.: 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, mural' , es were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. I Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,9901. 16s. Gd., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,9911. 15e. lid. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,1831. lis. 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 reties, 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. Extensive Travelling Leave granted without extra Premium Moderate extra Premium for Residence in Tropical Climates. EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0 ,1 01. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office era—Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual 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. It has been found by experience, that the total anneal 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 be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu ranee 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 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 tithe to tire, 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 'lre are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on modeiate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

REPLY OF ALFRED ' TENNYSON, ESQ. THE NEW POET LAUREATE. Mosaic Bard 1 your lines, addressed tome, Were not unwelcome lines—how could they be I feel quite proud, in fact, that one like yop Should notice me—upon my word I do I Nor would I let this first occasion slip, Of warmly thanking such a brother "chip." I do not wonder at your feeling "nettled,"- . On finding how the "Laureateship" is settled. When first you heard of what I'm now enjoying, The disapi ointm6nt must have been annoying. The wonder is that you so calmly met it, Wh - n 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 sa hard. But, really, what with one thing awl another, You're far more honoured than your laurelled brother. Think for a moment, Cousin, what you arc The muse of 7.kl OSES, that commercial star. Proud would your brother be if lie rend jump From his appointed "post" to Aldgate pump. The " cioth" 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.

It un fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA 'MERT has taken the highest medical honours, as his sliplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

Qcornsii WIDOWS' FUND ASSURANCE SOCIETY. This is the oldest Life Office in Scotland, and one of the most such ee sful in the kingdom. The Society was founded in the year 1 8 15 , and obtained an Act of Parliament in the year 1840. One of its great characteristics is the liberal, punctual, and simple manlier in which the claims are settled, combined with the c.ire be stowed by the directors (with the advice and assktance of the me dical officers), in the selection of lives. The directors proceed upon the principle of being most cautious and particular in their inquiries before admitting members to the benefits of the Society ; but, after being admitted, they are entitled to all the advantages which the Society affords ; and when the claim emerges, no undue delay takes pl ice, and no difficulties which can be avoided are interposed to pre vent an easy and expeditious settlement. The Capital of the Society amounts to TWO MILLIONS TWO HUNDRED AND FOUR THOUSAND POUNDS. The whole profits are divisible among the assured ; and the effect of additions already declared may bejailgted of by the following TABLE OF BONUS ADDITIONS. POLICY FOR 1,0001. °:.

The most effective imitation is in the Spoons and Forks, that have a body of real silver plated over the British plate. So accu rate and durable are these, that twenty years' wear would not show that they were not real silver, ant they do not cost one quarter the price.

CORK, DEC. 20. Very large arrivals of foreign wheat and In dian corn took place here on Saturday, and these, with a few straggling ones since, hare had the effect of throwing a serious damp on the trade, which is very dull and lifeless. The supply of home grain has been fair, the receipts for the week amounting to— wheat 661 brls, at 16s to 21s 6d per brl; barley 1,976 brls, at 108 4d to 12s 4d per brl; oats 6,871 brls, at 8s to lOs 4,1 per brl. There has been very little variation in the value of any description of grain during the week. The large arrivals of foreign wheat have affected the prepared mat ket, and we have scarce a transaction pass ing iti the article. We have no alteration in its value. Grinding barley continues firm, and some pare . Is have been sold at lls to lls 9d per barrel. We have no malting samples offering. We observe a pause in the oat trade, in which but little budress has been done. We quote prices much the same as those of last week, namely-9u 93 per brl fur black and 103 9d for white.

An adjourned general Court of Commissioners was summoned fur Friday at the chief office, Greek street, Sohc. The business upon the notice paper was comparatively unimportant, but the statement made by Mr. Woolrych at the inquest-room upon Wednesday last, that Mr. Forster, the engineer to the commission, had been instructed to present a re port to the Court in reference to the late accident at the Victoria sewer, had called public attention to, and excited considerable interest in, the proceedings yes terday. At twelve o'clock, the ordinary hour of meeting, only four commissioners had arrived, but Mr. Peto had sent •word that he would be there by twenty minutes past twelve. The Him. Gentleman was punctual to his promise, and iu a few minutes after wards the presence of the reporters was requested in the court-room. Upon our entrance we found Mr. T. Hawes in the chair, supported by Sir H. De la Beebe, Captain Dawson, of the Royal Engineers, Mr. Lawes, and Mr. Peto, M.P. Mr. Woolrych the secretary, and Mr. Forster the engineer, were also present. The CHAIRMAN said he was very sorry that they had not been fible to make a court, but the fact was that there were only two other cornfnissioners in town besides the five present. One of those two, owing to very pressing engagements, and the other from a sudden illness, was unable to attend. Mr. Lewes said, though they were unable to make a Court, it was right to make some allusion to the melancholy accident which hall lately happened in the new Victoria sewer, now in course of construction at Westminster. It was right to state that the commis -loners, immediately upon the occurrence of the acci dent, instructed their engineer to report to them on the circumstances, and that he had accordingly done so. Considering the anxiety which naturally existed to ascertain the cause of the accident, it might be ex petted by some that the engineer's report would he at once announced, but the commissioners were of opinion that, pending the inquiry before the coroner, it would be premature and improper to do so. They had, however, instructed Mr. Forster, the engineer, to attend the inquest on Monday next, when he would be ready to be examined with respect to any of the matters on which he had reported, Sir H. Da LA BECHE would venture to make a few observations as to certain " misapprehensions"—if they were only such—as to what was doing at the Victoria-street sewer. That sewer formed part and parcel, as had been stated long since, of a system of sewage upon the north side of the Thames—a system which comprised the entire abstraction of the sewage from the Thames upon the northern side to at least a distance equal to Galleon's Reach. It had been the unanimous opinion of that commission, for a long time past, that the sewerage upon the north side of the Thames should be based upon that pion, so that he did hope End trust they should hear no more of their commission swerving, or attempting to swerve, from that their ow❑ unanimous determination.—(Hear, hear.) Such statements for the future after that public announcement—but it had been announced over and over again—could but come under the head of wilful misstatements for some ulterior purpose. Now, with regard to the progress of their works. They bad at this moment the whole subject fully under consideration, and at no distant period—in fact, in a very short time—they should be able to produce, as he hoped and trusted, an efficient plan based upon that very system of the entire removal of the sewage from the Thames.— (Hear, hear.) Of course they were bound to produce tor their col leagues of the City such a plan as they could entertair, they (the Metropolitan Commissioners) had slwaye experienced from them the utmost kind ness, and they bad always worked in perfect har mony. lie had not the slightest doubt that what would ultimately be done would be with the full consent and approval of all of them, both Meropolitan end City CJll , miss . oners. Of course the detail of that plan could not be submitted either to the City Cern mis-ioners or to themselves until it was brought to a certain state cf perfection; but he had no objection to state, in a general way, that it was based upon the plan of the entire remosval l of all the sewage from the northern as well es from the southern side.of the me tropolis, which latter had, indeed, already hen sane tiom d. Upon that plan they had a system of inter secting drains, in order to carry that off, and there would, therefore, necessarily be portions of the di s t r i c t which would be drained, as it were, by the ordinary action of gravity, while others would be lifted by artificial means into these main channels. Of course a conFiderable time must elapse before the minor ad ju,tments could take place ; but be had risen to say these fe w wor d s i n order that there might be no rills c )nception as to the views of the commissionere upon the point of the entire abstraction of the sewege.from the Thames upon the north as it had been upon the south side.—(]lean) Mr. S. M. PETO, M.P., said, there did seem to be a very considerable misapprehension, not only as to what that commission had really done, but as to what they intended to do, and he should like very briefly to advert to the facts. That commission was nnly appointed on the Bth of October of last year, and when he, together with Mr. Stevenson and Rendel, was personally solicited by the Earl of Carlisle to take a seat at the board, it was distinctly understood by that nobleman, and by her Majesty's Government, that their doing so was simply as a great matter of public duty upon their part, their desire being to render the most effectual aid in their power, in order that a perfect and practical plan for the whole of the sewerage of the metropolis might be provided ; and such a plan, he ventured to say, had been prepared with every possible expedition consistent with that due care without which no plan of this kind ever could be matured for the public advantage.—(Hear, bear.) He would just for a moment advert to the fact that since the $I of October last year the commission had ascertained the exact state, had had a complete system of levels taken, and had reported upon no less than 700 miles of main sewers. They had examined the whole of the plans that had been submitted at the pre vious request of their predecessors in office, and had formed a plan for the southern side of the river, which had been duly advertised. The drawings of that plan might be had at any hour at that office, and he had never heard from any practical man a single objection to it. It was perfectly simple and practical in its character. It relieved the whole of the southern district of the metropolis with two lifts only, and it afforded the power of removing - the whole of the sewage to any distance re quired or desired, provided it should not be found that at that point where they proposed to stop the public had in the meantime made such ar rangements as should utilize the whole of the sewage. —(Hear, hear.) Then as to the northern side—the whole of Westminster has been settled for four months past ; and the necessity of that was urged upon us by two circumstances—first, the miserable condition of the locality, which would be credible only to those who were personally acquainted with it ; secondly, that the new street—Victoria-street— which had been projected, had been waiting for three years for the sewer to be made, while the money had actually been deposited in the office. The commis sioners had thought, therefore, that the observance of public faith and the necessities of the case required them to take up that portion first. They had accord iegly done so, and having refer ence t o the general plan of the northern side it had been so arranged that the sewage of the whole of Westminster should be taken to the lowest practical level ; and the whole would be discharged not ultimaately into the Thames (although at present necessarily so at Scotland-yard), but ultimately, with the whole of the City sewage, at such a distance down as should be beyond the reach of London and from which to practical evil could result. Now, though he, as a practical man, was per fectly prepared upon all occasions to give his time to the public, ho was not prepared to stand at any one mo ment suspected of giving that time for any of j- ct except for the performance of a public duty. He had himself,aud tinny of the commissioners had done the same thing, given up what, upon reference to his diary, he found to be a consumption of time equal to seven months cinch the Bth of October last year; and when the multiplicity of his engagements on every part of the continent and in this country was known, it must be apparent to every one that he was making no mean sacrifice, and he could not and would not submit to remain quiet under any imputations when he knew that he had no other intention but to do his duty to his fellow-citizens.—(Hear.) He was prepared to give up to the Government, when the term of this commission should expire in the next session of Par lament, that office which he had received at their hands, and be should do so with the proud !satisfac tion of believing that he had aided in perfecting a plan for the northern and southern sides of the metropolis a well-considered, well-digested plan —not consi dered in an open court, where every observation must be studied with reference to its immediate appearance in public—but considered, as every matter of great importance should be, for hours consecutively there, in quiet, with other practical men who thoughtfully brought to bear the energies and experience they possessed—and what for ? Simply that the public might derive from them the benefit of that experience and knowledge which it ought to be, as it was, their pride and their pleasure gratuitously to afford.— (Hear, hear.) He could only say with regard to himself that with great inconvenience, and instead of taking his family away, as he ought to have done, during the interregnum between the two sessions, he bad remained in London nearly the whole of the time ; and he was prepared so to remain and to fol low this matter up, de die i n di em , until they had completed it ; but he was not prepared to stand sus pected of any motives, nor would he quietly submit to it.—(Hear, hear.) Sir H. De La BEeRS said, his honourable friend (Mr. Peto) had fallen into one little inadvertence as to the time during which the subterranean survey had been in progress. That survey had been insti• tuted, as absolutely necessary, at the commencement of the first of the commissions that succeeded the numerous commissions of the metropolis. It was found that there was little or no knowledge of the sewerage of the metropolis existing at that time ; and it was also needful to have a surface examination. The two had now been completed, and they had, as Mr. Peto had stated, 700 miles of main sewers per fectly examined, so that at any future time they could be dealt with and made a part and parcel of any new system, or they could be rejected as occa sion might require. Mr. PETO ' did not wish for a moment to have it understood that the present commission had insti tuttid the subterranean survey; on the contrary, it had been most properly instituted by their prede cessors ; but he meant to say that they had had to wait for its perfection, and that they had to examine the condition and amount of all the exisiting sewers Lefore they could, as new men corning into this ques tion, at all do justice either to their subject or to themselves.—(Rear.) The CHAIRMAN observed that their great difficulty arose from the manner in which they were required to do their work by the Acta Parliament. Mr. PETO said, it would be competent for them to continue to sit as a committee but not as a court. Mr. LAWES said, the fact wai that the quorum of six was the same as was rcqnired under the old com tnis,ion when they had from seventy to eighty com missioners. However reasonable it might have been thcn, six out of twelve was certainly a very large proportion. The Commissioners then proceeded to the dis chargo of committee business, and the reporters withdrew. PASiAGES IN TOE LIFE OF MRS. MARG /EL T MAITLAND OF SUNNY SIDE —Curiosity is again excite.' respecting the authorship of this work, in consequence of the appearance of a new fiction from the same Fen, entitled " Merkland ; a Story of Scottish Life." Even that shrewd critic, the late Lord Jeffrey, was in some doubt as to the sex of the writer, as appears by a most interesting letter from his Lordship, a copy of which obtained publicity in a recent number of Fraser's Magazine. " When I first read the book (says his L )rdship) I settled it with myself that it was the work of a woman ; and though there are pronouns in the letter of the author now before me which seem to exclude that supposition, I am so unwilling to be disabused of this first impression that 1 still venture to hope it was not erro neous, and that these words were introduced only to press] Is the incognito which the author seems anxious to maintain." . . . " Nothing half so true or so touching in the delice ation of Scottish character," continues this eminent critic, " has appeared since Galt published his Annals of the Parish,' and this is purer and deeper than Galt, and even more absolutely and simply true. The conceptiot? of Grace, so original and yet so true to nature, and to Scottish nature, is far beyond anything that Galt could reach ; and the sweet thoughtfulness and pure, gracious, idiomatic Scotch of Mar garet, with her subdued sensibilities and genial sympathy with all innocent enjoyments, her ardent but indulgent piety, and the modest dignity of her sentiments and deport ment, make a picture that does equal credit to the class from which it is taken, and to the right feeling and power of ob servation of the painter." casescot Scotch and remarkably En eroEroti of Law sgteehs (idoc inioffe difference rsf D e nv Scotlandve Go beta R e c , )e . e — n CtorfoaTuntAtbe rt o eras h the adjudicatedupon After b a y s u the e. cesstul defence in the Arches' Court of Canterbury, to a suit for restitution of conjugal rights. on the ground of her hus lishillinas; b . and's infidelity, and obtaining all the relief that the Con ststorial Courts of England have the power to grant, viz., a separation as mensa et thoro, Mrs. Geils remained still subject to all the legal consequences and incidents of the matri monial tie. Her husband continued to draw a sum of 1,20 '/ i rear from the lady's estates in England, under the marriage settlement, and according to the law of this coun try, would be entitled to receive it until divorced by Act of Parliament. Under these circumstances Mrs. Geils, in May, 1842, brought the pres ent action of divorce against her hus band in the Supreme Court of Scotland, of which country he is a native, and where the adulteries are alleged to have been committed; and after an elaborate discussion in the Court of Session, the Lords in the Inner House affirming Lord Wood's judgment, have decided in favour of the lady's suit. The effect of this decision will be the forfeiture of the 1,2.00/. per annum, hitherto received by the husband. In addition to this relief, the lady becomes entitled to a jointure of 4001. a year out of her husband's estate in Scotland.
