THE WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE
EDWARD lIOLLEST, ef Frimier, Sarrey.—Frimley, Bag-
shot, December 31,1850.—An earnest AT VEAL to public benevolence
is respectfully submitted by A few friend:. and neighbours on behalf
of the WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD IIOLI,E3T,
who for a p -rill of 13 years, in an cxc apiary 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. Holieit was suddenly cut off is
universally known, but those only who arc ticpainted with his posi-
tion are aware that he never had the meals of making a provisi,n
for his widow. Under such circumstalices, it is hoped that the case
of Mrs. llolle-t will commend Weil to the generous consideration
of those who are blesseal with the means of alleviating, so far as
human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a
family so tearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of
Mrs. Holiest does not exc cd 43i per annum, and subscriptions are
earnestly solicited in aid of these ina leo:pito means. Subscriptions
will be thankfully received by the follov,ing bankers :—Messrs.
Berries, Farquhar, and Co.; Messrs William', Deacon, and Co.;
Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, end Co.; Coiitts, and Co.; Messrs.
Smith, Payne, and Co.; Sir S. Scott, Bart., and Co., 1, Cavendish-
square; Messrs. Mangles Brothers, Guildford; Messrs. Stevens

mittee :

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital--500,0'01.
(Incorp"rated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office ara —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 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 be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insarance can only be ap-
proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted rn, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the tree 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 tip- 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 investiga' 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
seen 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.

tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents.:

LIFE DEPARTMENT.—Under the provisions of an Act of Par-
liament, recently obtained, this Company now offers to future in-
surers a 1)w Rate of premium without participation in Profits; or a
moderate scale of premiums with four-fifths of the Profits to be de-
rived from all Assurances hereafter effected.
The divisions of Profits which heretofore have been made Septen-
nially will in future be made Quinquennially, the first of such divi-
sions to be declared in June 1855, when all participating policies
which shall have subsisted at least one year at Christmas 1854, will
be allowed to share in the profits.
At the several past divisions of profits made by this Company, 'he
reversionary Bonuses added to the polic'es from one half the profits
amounted, on an average of the different a; es, to about 1 per cent.
per annum on the sums insured, and the total bonuses added to the
four septennial divisions exceeded 770,0001.
FOREIGN RISKS.—The extra Premiums required for the East
and West Indies, the British Colonies, and the northern parts of the
United States of America, have been materially reduced.
LOANS granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro-
vided such Policies shall have been effected a sufficient time to have
attained in each case a value not under 501.
In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of profit was declared
,n the sth of June, upon the premiums received on all Policies
which had been in force seven years at Christmas 1849, and the same
.s now in course of payment daily (Friday and Saturday excepted),
i)etween the hours of ten and three o'clock, at the Head Office ; and
1.50 by the Agents in the Country Districts.
Notice is hereby given, that Assurances which expire at
Christmas must be renewed within fifteen days at this Office, or with
Mr. Sams, No. 1, St. James's-street, corner of Pall-mall, or with
the Company's Agents throughout the Kingdom, otherwise they be-
come void.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY,
NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER.-SQUARE, LONDON.
The FOURTII 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 280/.—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, 1849, and
the 31st of Slay, 1850, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding.
Proposals were made for 138 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,
assurance were effected to
3tb7e32elx. tieins. t of 110,9721.
0f10,9 es72tlh.le 54 lapsed,

clueing in annual premiums
amounting to 23,990/. 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. I Id.
were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
Since last meeting loans
but 1,1831. ifs. 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

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It nn-
ertunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
iequences, 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' ne reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for as,istance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has tak.en the highest
medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his
practice for many years is a
guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference utmost solely to the treatment of these
diseases. _ . _

ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE

Very early on Monday morning, about three
o'clock, the inhabitants of Upper North-street,
Brighton, and its neighbourhood, were alarmed by
piercing. cries from several female voices of " Murder"
and "Police," and in a short time a few members of
the police force, with the stragglers home, whom the
festive season made more numerous than usual, dis-
covered at the spot whence the cries proceeded the
dead but still bleeding body of a man, stretched on
hiz back in the middle of the road.

One of the neighbours, named Wootton, was the
first on the spot, and at his request Mr. Richardson,
surgeon, promptly made his appearance. His aid,
however, was unavailing. The man had suffered
from a fatal wound which severed the wind-pipe and
principal arteries, and death must have been instan-
taneous or nearly so.
From inquiry made on the spot and in the imme-
diate neighbourhood, and likewise of the police, we
gleaned the particulars which we subjoin :
The deceased was named William Henry Marshall.
He was a butler out of place, and his age was about
forty years. His last engagement was in the family
of Captain Preston, a magistrate where it appears be
was not comfortable, and his wife statea that he had
several times stated his apprehension that he should
in consequence take his own life. This service he had
left about eighteen months, and ever since he had been
in a low way. Within the last few days he had ob-
tained temporary employment at the family of Mr.
Lawrence, an eminent surgeon of the place. Here
he had conducted himself remarkably well. He ap•
peered elated at the circumstance of his having at
length obtained employment, but Mr. Lawrence, jun.,
believes that ho neither slept nor drank during the
time he was in the house. He was as usual on Sun-
day night, and at eleven o'clock turned off the gas
from the main.

At three o'clock in the morning of Monday his wife
was awoke by a knocking at the door, and having
descended the stairs and ascertained that her hu&band
was at the door, she admitted him into the house.
On opening the door she observed that her hus-
band was almost in a state of nudity. He was
even without his trousers. What did he return
home for in that state ? she inquired. He replied
"To kill you," and suiting the action to the word,
he seized her by the shoulders, and then grasped her
throat. Nearly naked as she was she rushed into the
street, followed by her husband, who caught her in
the middle of the road. They there struggled to-
gether till she fell, and he upon her. She raised the
cry of " Police," and a lodger that of " Murder and
thieves," and the wife then effected her escape. As
she ran off she saw a razor in his hand, and be having
raised himself again fell. She then returned to him
and found the blood gushing from a large gash in his
throat, and a razor lying be3ide him. By this time
assistance came to the spot, and the surgeon was sent
for, and soon arrived, as stated above. But death
speedily followed the infliction of the wound.
An inquest was held in the evening at the Wind-
mill Tavern, before Mr. F. H. Gall, coroner for Dist
Sussex, when the above facts having been elicited in
evidence, the jury returned a verdict " Temporary
Derangement.

THE SCREW•FRIQATE ARROGANT AND THE WEST-
ERN SQUADRON.—The auxiliary screw steam-frigate
Arrogant, Captain Robinson, as we have stated, arrived
at Spithead on Sunday, bringing news from the squa-
dron up to the 17th of December. The whole of the
officers of this ship speak very highly of her in every
respect. In her speed under sail she was but little in-
ferior to any of the ships, less than might have been ex-
pected to result from the great weights she has to carry
in machinery and coals, and from the relatively less power
of sail. Several letters have been received by this ship,
and, according to the usage in separate statements of the
performances of ships under trial, there are great dis
crepancies in the accounts of the relative merits of the
several ships. In accounts received, the Arethusa, 50,
Captain Symonds, it is alleged, is the crack ship in
strong winds—the ship under the most direct comparison
with her being the Phaeton, 50. Captain Elliott. In
the neighbourhood of the Isle of Wight extracts of a
letter from the captain of the Arethusa have been put
into circulation stating that on the 18th of
November, the two ships being under all
sail on a wind—Arethusa standing up well,
and Phaeton inclining a good deal—the Are-
thusa beating at the rate of quarter of a mile an
hour—the Phaeton was disabled in the trial. Of the
Leander, 50, Captain Dacres, and other ships, it is stated
they " were literally nowhere, as we beat them nearly a
mile :an hour. Nothing could be more easy than Are-
thusa." On the next day, the 19th, a further trial was
made, the Arethusa being directed to form close to the
Phaeton' both being under close-reefed topsails. " Are-
thusa shook out three reefs, all the others two. Phaeton,
however, very unwillingly, apparently, shook out another
just before starting." The signal was then made to
carry all possible sail on a wind-10 minutes afterwards
we were all started, when Arethusa set topgallant
sails over single-reefed top-sails, courses, jib, and
spanker. Phaeton sent men up to loose topgallant sailv,
but their hearts failed them, and the men were called
down. For 40 minutes we sailed, going nine knots
against a very considerable head sea, weathering and
fore-reaching fast on Phaeton, who seemed to pitch ex-
ceedingly heavy, for her bowsprit seemed to me to dip
under the water, and I saw her run from amidships to
right aft when she pitched. The easiness of the Are-
thusa was the astonishment and remark of all
on board. The Phaeton carried away her jib-
boom and both topsail sheets, whilst the
Arethusa continued some time lorger on her
course. The Arrogant's top-gallant sails and jib were
blown
away, and
Phaetonshe a
having n and the
reportedeLeander by
were
signalleft h
fart to
Deward.hr fo rtop)
The
mast was sprung, she was ordered to Eng-
land to repair her detects. The captain of the Are•
ihusa observes :—" Curiously enough, in the only three
bret zes we hare had, Phaeton has been each time dis-
abled, and has also broken several topsail yards, while
Arethusa has never carri, d away a royal sheet or
strained a rope yarn." A little at variance with all this,
captain Elliot stated of his ship, the Phaeton, when she
-vas recently in England, that she was very easy in her
motions ; and as to speed, that sbe beat the whole
squadron ! What confidence can be placed in such con-
flicting statements ? Who cen so discriminate as to se-
parate the true from the fel, e part of such reports ?

Such ex part: accounts of ships' performances cannot
promote the interests of the r avy, but they tend rather
to make its operations the object cf ridicule. Zeal is in-
dispensable to a good officer, but zeal without discretion
Aubserves a very foolish object."
From our experience of the flaming reports of the ex-
surveyor's ship, we place not the slightest confidence in
them. We remember too well the terms that Captain
Rous applied to them, and we also remember the cruises
of the Flying Fish and Espiegle.—Herald,
The Rev. J. Jenkins has been appointed chaplain to

the Victory, fl ig-ship at Portsmouth, and not the Belle-
rophon, 78, at Devonport; the Rev. T. W. Bennett is
the chaplain of the Bellerophon, having been re-ap-
pointed to that ship, and obtained leave of absence pre-
vious to joining her.
We are sorry to say that Captain Sir Henry Black-
wood, of the Vengeance, 84, at Portsmouth, has been
seriously ill at his lodgings in High-street. He is rather
better, but still confined to his bed.
Captain G. H. Seymour will commission the Win-
chester, 50, at Portsmouth, on Wednesday, the Bth of
January, as the flag-ship of his father, Vice-Admiral
Sir G. F. Seymour, to relieve the Wellesley, 72, on the
West India station. The Winchester was taken out of

THE CHURCH'S YEAR, 1850.
(From the Weekly Dispatch.)
Mr. Editor,—" The old year lies a-dying." His hours
are numbered. When we meet again, next week, he
will be gone. The clergyman of the parish is preparing
his funeral sermon; the only funeral that brings no fee.
Kind-hearted people will soon be wishing one another
joy of his successor. The chroniclers of the time are
drawing his character. He cannot remonstrate, how-
ever much ho may be abused. His place in history is
fixed for good or evil. Off must he pack to join " the
years beyond the flood." What shall we say of him?
How strike the balance of his accounts? Some rough
computation we may make; but the season for a full and
accurate estimate is not yet. That will only come to our
children; perhaps our children's children. The old year
has been prolific. Tao Registrar-General already reports
a large surplus of births. There is also a great multiplica-
tion of marriages. Sore tidings fur the departing year to
carry to the shade of Malthus. It will disturb him even
in Paradise, if he be there. How all these human pro-
ductions will turn out is a ticklish question. They should
he very good indeed to overbalance the deaths, in any
other respect save that of number. Ido not refer to our
fat friend, " the good l)uke of Cambridge." Otter ani-
mals can be fed up in that same stye. We have arising
crop, and the soil is fertile. But the year has struck
down two of our greatest men; our first of statesmen
and our first of poets. It has sp-..red:r either the civic
wreath nor the laurel crown. Long will the mine of
Wordsworth mark an era in our poetical literature, and
that of Peel in our commercial legislation. We honour
their memories in that proportion which the English
mind assigns to the poetical and the practical; the latter
by a large vote, the former by a little subscription. And
in due time we shall do the like by the bards and legis-
lators whom the year has ushered into the light and
left crying in their cradies. " Some must watch while
some must sleep; thus runs the world away."
There is one thing about the poor old year which I
wish particularly to notice; and that is, that he was a
very churchified year. The rest of his character and
doings I leave to other hands. They will no doubt be
treated fully and impartially. It is only with this one
point that lat present concern myself. Eighteen hun-
dred and fifty was all for the Church. He was keen in
controversy from the first, and worked himself up, at last,
into a spiritual agitation. He began with Mr. Gorham,
and he ended with Cardinal Wiseman. He let the per-
secuted clergyman out of jail, and he brought back the
runaway Pope into the Vatican. With one hand ho made
a blaze of Guy Faux, and with the other strewed squibs
and crackers under the bench of bishops. lie dissevered
thq " the Bible alone is the religion of Protestants," and
so he seiz!d it from Dissenters in payment of Church
Rates. In obedience to the Jewish code, he forbad the
banns between a widower and his deceased wife'. sister;
and in defiance of the Christian code he kept the Jew out
of his civil right to sit in Parliament. Whea young, he
lit candles in churches on Sunday mornings; and when
old he kicked out even the candlesticks. He turned
congregations into mobs, and clergymen into dema-
gogue, and excited religious riots, in which the heads
of some were broken that the souls of others might be
saved. In short, he has been what probably his sou and
heir will call most damnably devout. lie goes to his
grave in the odour of sanctity; bury him in St. Mar-
garet's, the crammed yard is not closed; and his last
will and testament, in the form of petition or address,
appoints the State his executor duly to pay some little
legacy of persecution.
Glory had its year when Wellington reaped his laurels
on the bloody plaits of Waterloo; religious liberty had
its year when it was recognised by the Legislature that
Catholics aro men and Christians; commerce had its
year when Peel abolished the corn-laws, and made free-
trade the national policy; and revolution had its year,
when thrones were tumbling about all over Europe only
to be steadied again, for a brief while, by the props of
bayonet and cannon; but all these years were orderly
compared with the folly, fanaticism, and furor of our
poor departing Church's year. They excited passions,
indeed; but the passions had worthy purposes, and were
not mad with theological bitterness. A year in church
seems as fatal to reason as a year in solitary confine-
ment. The odium theologicum has always been a poison
plant, and "we have eat-•n of the insane root. ()f the
restoration of the Protestant hierarchy in this country it
was said by a poet, " Now universal England getteth
drunk;" of the restoration of the Romish hierarchy, it
may almost be said that now universal England getteth
mad, and needeth a strait jacket.
The old year will have saddled us with many mis-
chiefs, in consequence of his religious turn of mind.
We should have been left in a pleasanter condition, had
he been of a different way of thinking. Heats and ani-
mosities are enkindled that will not, and cannot, all at
once subside. There is bad blood in many neighbour-
hoods. People have learned to quarrel in the spirit
which a divine described as that of " due Christian ani-
mosity." We do not shake hands with a man hear Hy
all "Peace

years have their mission, let us hope that of the new
comer will be to allay this effervescence,
and make
Catholic and Protestant tail fellow well met all the
country over.
There is a mixture of good and bad in another thing
done by the old year which the new may serve to adjust
and make their proportions evident. The Church has
born brought into contempt, even in its rampant success.
This Protestant Episcopacy, with clamorous multitudes
at its hack, and the tythes in its pocket, and Papal Eu-
rope standing aghast at its vigour; what is it, as deve-
loped by events? A hollow combination of men sworn
to the same term of words, while their faiths are wide
as the poles asunder. The Church has been a Grecian
daughter to the old Papacy, and nourished her parent
with the richest milk of her bosom. r Protestantism
has ploughed for three centuries only to grow a crop of
Papists. Her seeming unity is the amalgamation of
theological factions denying to each other any knowledge
of the way of salvation. Half the Church damns the
other half. Bishops admonish churchwardens to look
out for fatal heresies in the discourses of their appointed
pastors, set over them to guide to heaven.
