THE WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE
EDWARD HOLLEST, of Fernley, Surrey.—Frimley, Bag-
shot, December 31,1850.—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 HOLIEST,
who for a period of la years, in an exemplary manner, performed
the duties of his church, and was distinguished by his benevolence
and charity in the wide district under his charge. The act of
atrocity by which the Rev. Mr. Holiest was soddenly cut off is
universally known, but those only who are acquainted with his posi-
tion are aware that he never had the mesas 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
faintly so fearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of
Mrs. Holiest does not exceed 40/. per annum, and subscriptions are
earnestly solicited in aid of these inadequate means. Subscriptions
will be thankfully received by the following bankers :—Messrs.
Herries, Farquhar, and Co.; Messrs Williams, Deacon, and Co.;
Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, and Co. ; Messrs. Coutts, and Co.; Messrs.
Smith, Payne, and Co.; Sir S. Scott, Bart., and Co., 1, Cavendish-
square ; Messrs. Mangles Brothers, Guildford; Messrs. Stevens
and Blandy, Reading; also by the following members of the Com-
mittee :

R. R. Bayley, Esq., Mitchett, Frimley, Bagshot.
J. F. Burrell, Esq., Manor House, Frimley.
Rev. J. H. Clayton, Farnborough, Bagshot.
Rev. John Lawrell, Cove, Bagshot.
Sir Walter Farquhar, Bart., Farnborongh-place, Bagshot.
Thomas Longman, Esq., Farnborough-hill, Bagshot.

Captain Charles Edward Mangles, Poyle-park, Farnham, Surrey.
The Committee have the satisfaction to state that her Majeety the
Queen, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Bishop of Winchester,
have sanctioned their exertions by very liberal donations.
The Committee return their grateful thanks for the liberal manner
in which their appeal has been responded to, and they thankfully
acknowledge the following

Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet.. cap. Ile')
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.

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 shbuld 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 Insurance can only be ap-
?reached 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 time to time, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and win 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.

a far greater difficulty than fire. Any condensation,
it was explained, that might take place on the internal
surface of the glass roof would be caught and carried
off by the peculiar formation of the Paxton gutters.
This is found practically to be the case; and even
after nights during which not a drop of rain has
fallen, there is an astonishing flow from the drains.
In this manner the interior of the building acts like a
still, and is every day becoming dryer and dryer.
The chance of a drip from the iron bsanss in sutnmer
is thus proportionally diminished. If such did take
place it would he a serious nuisance, for there
exist no means for obviating it. Amidst other
changes which have been decided on since our last
notice, there is one which we are sure will give un-
alloyed satisfaction to all persons of taste. Tbe Cone
missioners of Woo is end Forests had undertaken
to enclose the building with railing ; and, in ful-
filment of that promise, they proceested, with a sim-
plicity worthy of ancient Sparttusa to place plain iron
posts in the ground, which they connected together
with a single rod of the same material. This afforded
very little protection to the external wall of the Ex-
hibition when the hoarding was removed, and the
crowds of idlers collected there during the day used to
amuse themselves by twisting the louvre boards so as
to catch a peep of the interior. It was at once seen
that such a railing would never do, and accordingly a
very handsome one, 6A- feet high, has been designed
by Mr. Owen Jones to take its place.
While the Crystal Palace thus rapidly approaches
the stage at which it will be ready for the reception
of goods intended for exhibition, the Executive Com-
mittee, having taken possession of their offices within
the premises, are busily engaged in completing all
the arrangements requisite with reference to space.
From the maps which we have seen France will be
far the largest contributor of any foreign country.
Next to it will come the Zollverein and Austria;
then Belgium. To these succeed Russia, Turkey,
and Switzerland. Holland, its commercial im-
portance considered, will occupy a very small
space. The northern states of Germany, not included
in the Zollverein, Egypt, Spain, Portugal, the Bra-
' zils, and Mexico, have confined themselves within
still narrower limits, and China, Arabia, and Persia
have the smallest sections on the east side of the tran-
sept assigned to them. Of the British dependencies,
the East Indies claim the lion's share of room, and of
the whole ground assigned to industrial products of
the United Kingdom, nearly one-half has been appro-
priated to machinery. As far as possible, the dif-
ferent nations have been arranged in a manner cor-
responding to their distances from the equator ; the
products of tropical climates being brought nearest to
the transept, and those of colder regions being placed
at the extremities of the building. While the Exhi-
bition lasts the Crystal Palace will be treated by the
Custom-house authorities as a bonded warehouse.
The reception of articles will commence, it is be-
lieved, on the 10th of next mouth, and a large party
of Sappers and Miners, intended to assist in this por-
tion of the work, have already had quarters assigned
to them in Kensington Palace.
The first and most difficult step in the necessary
preparations for a great industrial exhibition, the erec-
tion of a covered space within which it could be con-
veniently and suitably held, has now been accom-
plished. Other and hardly less ardous labours remain
to be achieved. An elaborate system of decoration, 1
extending internally and externally, over eighteen
acres of ground ; the entire filling up of that vast
space with stalls, tables, cases, &c.; the preparation
of walks and avenues, ornamented with statues, foun-
tains, and other objects of artistic beauty; the entire
arrangement of the countless number of articles
brought forward to be exhibited ; the fixing of an im-
mense mass of machinery of the most complicated
description ; the covering of the structure with a
monster shade of calico, to exclude the sun's rays ;
the organization of the modes in which visitors are to
be admitted, property to be protected, and all the
business details of the Exhibition, strictly so calleck.,to
be managed ;—these form an imperfect summary of
what must be done within the next three months.—

REPEAL OF THE WINDOW-TAX.

A general meeting of the inhabitants of Hammer-
smith and the neighbourhood took place last even-
ing, at the Albion Hall, Hammersmith, to petition
Parliament for the unconditional repeal of the win-
dow-tax.

Mr. W. Simrsox presided. He observed that
though it was generally understood that Government
intended to do something on this subject, unless the
pressure from without was applied they would be
very likely to neglect their duty. As a medical man
he considered the great argument against the window-
t ix was on the score of its injurious effect on health.
Till it was repealed the full benefit would not be
derived from the repeal of the duty on glass ; when
both were done away we should see a new era in
architecture.—(Hear, hear.) Not only ought the
window-tax to be repealed, but the whole system of
taxation stood in need of revision.

Mr. T. C. FLETCHER, the secretary, reed letters
from Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P., Sir De Lacy Evans,
ALP., Mr. E wart, M.P., and Mr. John Williams,
M.P., all condemnatory of the tax, and expressing a
hope that the public feeling would be strongly mani-
fested against it. He had written to Lord R. Gros-
venor and Mr. Osborne, M.P., but from them no an-
swers had been received.
Mr. T. J. SERLE said; he was most anxious for a
repeal of the window duties, and did not object to the
substitution of a house-tax.—(No, no.) The worst
feature of the window-tax was the ignorant indiscri-
mination with :which it was levied, being made to
press most heavily upon the poor. The improvement
in architecture which its repeal would induce might
be judged from the beautiful bay and oriel windows
which characterised the architecture of the Tudor
age. He moved a resolution declaring the window-
tax obstructive to improvement, and one that pressed
unduly on the poor.
Mr. HOUGHTON seconded the resolution.
Mr. FLETCHER said that, instead of imposing a
house-tax, it would be better to increase the duty on
horses, carriages, and other articles of luxury. Of
the 2,428,000 houses in the country, only 340,000
paid the window duty; supposing it repealed, all the
other houses would have additional windows put in,
and this would create a great demand for labour.
The resolution was unanimously adopted.
Admiral Sir C. NAPIER was loudly cheered on
rising to move the second resolution. He thought
the window-tax the most obnoxious impost now
existing. In pressing for its entire and immediate
removal, it was not for them to suggest a substitute.
—(Cheers.) There would he this year a surplus of
two millions ; what the Chancellor of the Exchequer
would do with it no one could tell.—(Laughter.) He
would also have to grapple with the income-tax, and
probably he would not be able to carry it in its pre-
sent shape, which taxed incomes in the same propor-
tion as realized property.—(Hear, hear.) To this he
was decidedly opposed.—(Cheers.) He was a farmer
himself, but not a Protectionist; and he must say the
farmer was taxed most unjustly by income-tax ; he
paid not on what he received, but what he ought to
receive.—(Hear, hear.) For his own part, he could
say that that had been nothing at all last year.—
(Laughter.) Then the taxes on soap and tea
were attracting attention ; and there was no
doubt that a reduction of those duties would
greatly increase the consumption.—(Hear, hear.)
Still, he maintained the window-tax was the
one on whose total and entire abolition they
ought to insist without suggesting to the Chancellor
of the Exchequer what should be the substitute.—
(Cheers.) At present a builder studied how few
windows he could put in a house ; and it frequently
happened that a large room was made instead of two
small ones to save a window. Not only the glazier,
but the carpenter and many other trades suffered
from this tax. He bad always advocated the repeal
of this tax when in Parliament.—(Hear.) He did
not believe any substitute was necessary ; let Gojteurrn-
ment set honestly to work to reduce the expe9auiffices

declaring that the window-tax was a war-tax, im-
posed with an implied understanding that it should
cease when the war term:nated ; that after a peace of
36 years the tax was still continued, .though neither
necessary for the purposes of war nor the efficient
maintenance of the army and navy : and that, conse-
quently, there had been a palpable breach of faith
with the country.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. BROWN seconded the resolution.
Mr. R. H. KENNEDY moved the adoption of a pe-
tition to rudiment founded Ou the foregoing polo-

the amount of twenty millions, in lien of which nine

mi!lions, and yet the revenue had not been reduced,
owing to the fructifying principle on which the al-
terations had proceeded.
Mr. SCHOLES seconded the resolution.-
