PATRICK MACtN PYRE, Secret;try,

THE WIDOW of the late Rev. GEOKGE
EDW IPn HOLLP,AT, of Frimley. Surrey, —Frithley, Bag-
sh- it, 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. GIi:ORGE EDWARD HOLIEST,
who for a p.riod of 14 years, in an exemplary manger, 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 Rey. Mr. Holiest was suddenly cut elf is
universally known, but those only who are accriainted with his posi-
tion are aware that he..never had the ineaas of making a provisi
for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case
of Mrs. Holle:t 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 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., I, Cavendish-

(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office era —Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class or rist —Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
rernium 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 ben found by experience, that the total annual lows 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-

been sufficiently acted en, or systematically applied.

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 time, 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.

GRAND COURT CF WARD-MOTE.
Yesterday the annual Grand Court was held at
Guildhall, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor in the
chair, for the purpose of receiving the returns of the
ward officers elected for the ensuing year, and the
presentments of the various ward inquests.
Several of the ward inquests presented returns of
persons who have been in the habit of refusing to take
out their freedom, although repeatedly applied to by
the authorities.
The following, which is the substance of the return
of the St. Dunstan's district of Farringden Without
Ward, will give an adequate idea of the nature of the
general complaint of those inhabitants of the City who.
are free :
We present the' following persons, recupying pre-
mises f•r the purposes of trade within the ,aid pariah
of St. Dunstan's-in-the-West, in the wa-d of Farringdon
Without, London. Several of them have b. en presented
from time to time by former ii,quests, hut have not yet
taken up their freedom. And in making this part of
our presentment, we consider it our duty to impress most
particularly upon your Lordship and this Hon. Court
the necessity of your taking some steps to elock this
growing evil of so largo an accumulation of non freemen,
as it operates most unjustly upon a great number of our
fellow-citizens, who have already complied with the de-
mand to take up their freedom, many of them at very
great inconvenience to themselves, at the time when the
expense was so much more than is at present required
for the same purpose. Therefore, we most respectfully
submit that after so many years' indecision and delay
something ought to be done forthwith, either to take the
necessary legal means of enforcing your demands upon
the non-freemen, or to relieve us in future from this must
unpleasant and apparently useless duty.
" And we, the said Wardmote Inquest, do make these
our several presentments, according to the articles of
charge given to us at our election as aforeseid.

In other presentments on the subject it was stated
that several instances occurred in which the gentle.
men of the inquests were laughed at upon applying
to the non-freemen for compliance with the existing
regulations, and that the want of the exercise of the
necessary authority was calculated to render the
office of inquestnaen useless and to throw contempt
upon the Court of Aldermen.
Alderman MooN said that, as regarded his ward
(Portsoken), the inquestmen of the preceding year
felt so much indignation at the supineness of the
Court of Aldermen on the subject of compelling the
non-freemen to take out their freedom, that he was
surprised at the appearance of a presentment on the
present occasion. The inhabitants of the ward ac-
cused the Court of Aldermen of actual neglect of duty
in not prosecuting the non-freemen, who were now
more numerous than ever, and were determined not
to endure any further delay.
The LORD MAYOR said, in answer to all the pre-
sentments, that the Freedom Committee had been for
a considerable time occupied in investigating the im-
portant question to which the gentlemen of the in-
quests so naturally referred ; but a delay had una-
voidably arisen from the severe indisposition of the
chairman. It ought to be remembered that the subject
was one of extreme delicacy, and one upon which a
precipitate decision might be attended with much in-
convenience and trouble.—(Hear, heartohfethperi

stated by some of the inquests that the present price
the deliberations of the committee would be the re-
commendation of a still lower amount than the Cl. at
present demanded. At all events the committee were
laboriously occupied in examining the whole question,
and he had no doubt would report upon it the moment
the chairman should be able to resume his office. In
the meantime the presentments should be all laid
before the Court of Aldermen.

The FOURT EI ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-
tors of tilts 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 Englant%
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2001.—making
together 7001., which have been pall. This is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
severely the life offices generally suffered from tile epidemic of last
year. _

This wort contains an accurate and complete account of the
inatorny and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
(omit-Lately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and violous habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sequent:ea, unwisely entertains a fear of itpqiying 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 'or asfistance where
alone it can ho procured. Dr. LA'IVIERT has taken 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 hag reference almost solely to the treatment of these
disease!.

The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
last four months they ha 4 considerably extended their business on
the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur
do l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for
hie integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters,
who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris,
the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Paniels, 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 Deterred.
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.

pIeLAIR'S GOUT and RIIEUMATIC PILLS.
Jr 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 Jelin Nlollard Wheeler, E,q., Collector of Customs, Jamaloa, 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 mercy,to any friend who may sutler
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 wonderful efficacy : not only am I person-
ally aware of their powers, but I see my friends and acquaintances
receiving unfailing benefit from their use. I would not be without
them on any account. If taken in the early stage of disease they
dissipate it altogether ; if in a later, they alleviate pain and effect a
much speedier cure than by any other means within my knowledge."

The inquestmen appeared to be satisfied with his
Lordship's assurance of a speedy decision upon the
freedom question which has so long been agitated in
the City.

Alderman WILSON said that he could not see the
inquest of his ward (Castle Baynard), the foreman of
which ought to be present to hand in the return made
on St. Thomas's-day, but he had to inform the Court
that he had the return in his possession, and he wished
to know whether the Court would receive it from
him? The return was signed by him as aldermen,
but no doubt it was informal in him to present it.
There appeared, however, to be no alternative; and
if the Court refused to receive it at his hands, the
Common Councilmen and other officers just elected
to serve in the ward would not be qualified to take
their seats. He at the same time did not by any
means wish to establish a precedent which might be
subject to animadversion.

Alderman CHALLIS intimated that the course pro-
posed was liable to objection as an interference with
the inhabitants, who might be disposed upon some
occasions to complain of matters upon which there
was difference of opinion existing between them and
their aldermen.—(Hear, hear.) It might, too, be in-
judicious to give any check to the communication
between the inhabitants and the Court of Aldermen,
from which mutual advantages never failed to pro-
ceed.—(Hear, hear.)
Alderman LAWRENCE said, the reception of a pre-
sentment under the circumstances very properly
mentioned by Alderman Wilson might lead to ir-
regularities. There might be occasions on which the
inquest differed from others in tho ward, and on
which very reasonable objection might be entertained
to the appearance of an alderman as a substitute for
the inquest.

The'Loup MAYOR said, he thought he was autho-
rised to receive the presentment, as it was signed by
Alderman Wilson ; but at the moment his Lardship
expressed his intention to overrule the objeCtion the
gentlemen of the inquest, who had been detained by
accident, arrived, and the necessary forms were gone
through without any violation of the old practice.
The Court then adjourned.

DISRAELI'S LIFE AND REIGN OF CHARLES L
NEW AND REVISED EDITION, 2 vor.s.—" Mr. Disraeli has
conceived that the republication of his father's' Commenta-
ries on the Life and Reign of Charles I.' is peculiarly well-
timed at the present moment, and lie indicates the well-
known chapters on the genius of the Papacy, and the critical
relations of Protestant Sovereigns with Roman Catholic sub-
jects; as reflecting mirror-like the events, thoughts, passions,
and perplexities of the present agitated epoch.' In parti-
cular, he observes that the stories of conversions to the
Romish faith then rife seem like narratives of the present
hour, and that the reader is almost tempted to substitute the
names of his personal acquaintances for those of the courtiers
of Charles. No apology was needed for re-introducing to
the world so instructive and original a work as that of Isaac
Disraeli.—'limes.
