THE WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE
EDWARD HOLLEST, of Frimley, 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 HOLIES
who for a period of 18 years, in an exemplary manner, performed
the duties of his church, and was distinguished by his benevolence
and charity in the wide district miler 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 measis of snaking a provisisn
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 exczed 401. per annum, and subscriptions are
earnestly solicited in aid of these inadequate means. Subscriptions
will be thankfully received by the following bankers :—Messrs.
llerries, 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 Mandy, Reading; also by the foil )wiug members of the Com-

EXTRAORDINARY DEATH FROM AL-
LEGED FRIGHT.
Yesterday a long inquiry was taken before Mr.
Bedford, at the Anchor and Star Tavern, Warwick-
street, RTgent-street, as to the death of Mrs. Ann
Wheeler, aged 34.
It appeared the deceased resided with her husband,
in the employ of Messrs. D. and J. Nicoll. The day
before Christmas• day a hamper was sent to him,
which he supposed to be from the country, and bis
wife, who was enciente, opened it, and at the bottom
was a large dead black cat. She was much alarmed
at the time, and called some one to witness it. In
the evening the deceased fainted, became very ill, and
was put to bed. Delirium came on, and she died on
Saturday night.
A post morton examination of the body was made,
and all the viscera of the stomach and chest were
healthy; but on opening the head, matter was fund
to be formed on the arachnoid membrane of 'the brain,
which clearly accounted for death.
Dr. Wegg, who attended deceased, was of opinion
that from the time of opening the basket to the period
of her death, about 76 hours, was sufficient for the
formation of the matter, but it was very difficult

to s•ly.
S Ane evidence was gone into as to the sender of
the hamper, but nothing positive was obtained.
The CORONER said he was not sure if the party
sending the hamper had really believed at the time
that the fright at opening it would have produced
death, would not have been guilty of murder. There
was no positive evidence what had produced the in-
flammation of the brain, and he must leave the case
to the jury.

An open verdict was returned thlt the deceased
died of inflammation of the arachnoid membrane of
the brain.

THE POPE, THE PARSON, AND THE

PRESBYTER.
(From the Weekly Dispatch.)
The cannibals of New Zealand carry out the lex
talionis of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,
with Hebraic scrupulosity. Their punishment for a
highwayman is to knock him down with their clubs
and strip him of all he wears or carries. Their sen•
tence upon a thief is literally to rob him—and as
gentry of that kind are not able to remember to a
trifle all they may have stolen, their executioners are
not very nice in calculating the quantity of retributive
property they restore to themselves, provided they
take enough. The jurisconsults of the Antipodes
betray, however, their barbarism in their candour.
They have not the civilized hypocrisy of this side of
"the ball we live on." They call a spade a spade,
and in place of our delicate term " restitution," they
use the homely word "rob" in its literal nakedness, not
having that refinement of the" wise, who convey it call."
The Canon of Chester is a cannibal in black breeches.
He curses Popery because it persecutes, and proves his
Protestantism, by bawling for the hangman to stran-
gle all who are guilty of using the Roman confes-
sional. He has, indeed, himself confessed that his
expression is " atrocious," but so is the verb " rob."
The error lies in the expression, not 'in the spirit
which dictates it. That remains in its full malignity
after the name which has been given to it is with-
drawn. lie declares that he recalls it before God, and
recants it to men ; but the very next week he cants it
hack again, with a more cordial Paganism than ever.
The British Lion roars for.victims, and Mr. Hugh
M'Neile is the British Lion. Born out of time, post-
dated twenty centuries—a metempsychosis of the An-
cient Druids—he is fit only to worship Thor, or mi•
ulster at the altar of Moloch. From his den at Liver-
pool ho has prowled his way to London, and strayed
into.:the metropolitan menagerie of No-Popery wild
beasts. He calls for the deletion of Msyncoth. He
would have a razzia of all Humanists who refuse to
abjure the Pope. Our Catholic colonies are to have
no more grants for the decent conduct of their wor-
ship. Their bishops are to be "put down." Popery
is Antichrist, and here is the way Mr. MeNcile seeks
to prove his Christianity :
" The question was, could anything practical be done
now? He would recommend that the poop a should re
quire Parliament to exact that a total abjuration of the
Pope of Rome should be a sine qua moue fur the holding
of offices of trust and power under the Sovereign of
England.—(` Llear, hear,' and great cheering.) Let
the English people at o:;c., demand of the Government
and of the Parliament that there should be, instantly on
the meeting of Parliament, a disendonment of .lily-
nooth College.—(Loud and continued cheering and
clapping of hands.) There were also large endowments
of Popery in the Colonies from the British Treasury,
and there were numerous subscription lists for Popish
chapels and schools containing Protestant names.—
(Hear, hear.) Let there be no more Protestant sub.
scriptions for Popish chapels.—(Hear, bear.) He had
hoard it stated lately by a clergyman, who had made
some inquiries respecting the marriages which had
taken placo in his church by bans in the course of the
year, that he found one-half of them were marriages be-
tween Roman Catholics and Protestants. It was the
bounden duty of British Christians to guard against do
mestic intercourse with Roman Catholics.—(tlear,
hear.) If Protestants allowed their sons to become in-
timate with the daughters of Roman Catholics, they
could not consistently turn round aed say, after per-
mitting such intimacy,—` I forbid any marriage.'"
" The Jews hold no dealings with the Samaritans,"
and the unhappy wretch who calls himself an ex-
pounder of Christianity adorns the doctrine of his
Master by prescribing social proscription as the cure
for Romanism. What to him is the parable of the
good Samaritan—what the declaration of Paul, that
the " wall of partition is broken down," even between
Jew and Gentile, and that " God is no respector of
persons"—what the express rebuke of the Great
Teacher himself to his disciples, when they forgot
all his precepts of kindness and universal brotherhood
in wondering that he, " being a Jew, should ask
water of a woman of Samaria?" All the charities of
life, all the great precepts of Christianity, are trodden
under foot by this canonized savage, who has no more
sense of the spirit of Evangelism than the orange
woman in the shilling gallery has of the philosophy
of Hamlet. Let us but act on his heathen principle—
turn one•third of our fellow-countrymen into social
banishment from the amenities of life with the
remainder, 'and how long will a kingdom stand,
thus divided against itself ? What will become of
Ireland if Papists are to be regarded as Pariahs, under
a Government pretending to respect equal rights, and
a Queen cleiming to be at the head of Christendom.
"Oh liberty !" exclaimed the Vendean heroine,
" What deeds are dune in thy name !" " Oh,
Christianity," may we cry, " What principles are
preached in thine !" Eighteen centuries has the Gos-
pel been in the world, and here is a canon of the
Church wearily grinding Act of Parliament prayers
in his rotatory cabslasb, with as little sense of his
vocation as a Kalmuck or a Tartar, and as utter an
antagonism to the genius of the New Testament as
the crucifiers of its Founder. Nur does he stand
alone. Here has been Dr. Cumming belecturing the
credulous upon the iniquity of the Cardinal's oath,
wilfully mistranslating the harmless Latia into
malignant English, and denouncing its alleged
vows of persecution. Yet, what is this man who
ventures to bear false witness against his neighbour?
His own oath may now he seen, subscribed with his red
hand in the books of the Scotch Presbytery in Lon-
don. He there declared his belief in and assent to
the " standards," as they are called, of the Church of
Scotland, and vowed that he would do full justice to
the Confession of Faith, and the Westminster Cate-
chism, long and short, with what are facetiously
termed their " Scripture proofs"—a super-fwtation of
human traditions on the Bible—and an authoritative
ecclesiastical interpretation of Scripture by men who
denounce the Pope for " standing betwixt man and
GA's own book." ,What, then, does the " angelic
doctor" swear to? Here it the answer. He vows
(sec. 1) " that the defence of Christ's Church (thereby
meaning his own dozy) appertaineth to . . Magis-
trates against . . . heretics, Papists, Anabaptists,
&e., &c., and to root out all doctrines of devils and
T, men." (2) " That to kings . . . rulers, arid
magistrates . . . chiefly . . . purgation of
ireligion appertain . . . not only for civil policy
ii but for suppressing . . superstition." (3) That
7, " all maintainers of . . disguised apparel, holidays,
12 &e., should be punished by thee civil sword," because
19 " the examples of Scripture plainly declare that the
26 abusers of the Sacraments and contemners of the Woe d
are worthy of death" (4) That to t• the Magistrate
2, it pertains to punish them civilly that will not obey
16 the censure of the Kirk;" and (5) " also all troublers
23 and contemners of the same." (6) That " all ma-
-10 gistrates, sheriffs, &c. &c., are . . to search for,
apprehend, and punish contraveners." (7) That
6
3 " the Solemn League and Covenant shall be sworn to
!cl by all . . . subjects in this kingdom under pain
of being punished as enemies to religion." (8 and g)
1 That all " ministers do proceed . . . against
4 such as refuse to . . . endeavour the extirpation
of Popery, Prelacy (i. e., the Church of England),
heresy, schism," &c. &c. Dr. Cumming vows that
he will inculcate among other essential extracts from the
1 "pure milk of the word" the following exposition, from
8 the Larger Catechism. " The second commandment
requireth • . . the removing of false worship ;
and forbiddeth tolerating a false religion." Section 14
of the standard declares that thesecuring of the Church
against" all error, heresy, and schism, and, namely, R-
I
3 dependency, Anabaptism, &c., &c., shall be endeavoured
by us ;" that " Christ's right to these kingdoms" shall
not be " pleaded out of him by pretended liberty of con-
science . . or a dishonourable toleration." Sec-
tion 15th proclaims that " no person shall say mass,
or sit to hear mass . . . under pain of coVt.sca-
lion of their goods . . and punishing their bodies
• • • • for the first fault ; banishment . . .
for the second fault, and DEATII for the third fault."
Section 17th " gives public testimony against the
dangerous tenets of Erastianism, Independency, and
what is called liberty of conscience," and declares that
the " civil magistrates ought to suppress by corporal
or civil punishments, such as, by spreading error or
heresy, . . . disturb the peace of the Kirk." We
spare our readers a further dose of the sickening far-
rago of tyrannous, hypocritical, and atrocious Pagan-
ism which may be found more at length by such as
have stouter stomachs, in the " Standards of the
Kirk," which this priestly parasite of ignorance,
bigotry, and titled wealth has sworn to maintain.
Enough has been quoted to satisfy the blindest of his
fanatical followers, that he has subscribed a declara-
tion of principles infinitely more cruel, per-
secuting, and intolerant, than anything con-
tained in the Cardinal's oath, which, albeit, he
refuses to believe that he never took, although Dr.
Wiseman has given him his solemn assurance to that
effect. This clerical jackdaw must be stripped of his
borrowed Protestant feathers of pretended religious
liberty—the calf-skin of persecution and ipriestcraft
must he hung on his limbs recreant to the dismal
doctrines he subscribed at his ordination ; and when
next he appears on the stage, by particular desire, to
act and personate his favourite character of toad-eater
to the Bishops, and tuft-hunter of the High Church
nobility-, he must be roundly taxed with his own oath,
or required to defend his own creed; and, in place of
g's evidence, he must be
being permitted to turn Kin

thrust into the dock to stand his trial before Commotv
SENSE along with his accomplice malefactors. The
next culprit on the Newgate Calendar of orthodoxy is
the " Original Soapy Sam," now" Samuel, by Divine
permission, Lord Bishop of Oxford." There is no
"mincing the matter" with him. His plain Engli*h
is that he is Pope already, and seeks protection
against foreign importations. He is proprietor of the
spiritual preserve, or gatnekeepe,r—and will suffer
none of his birds to be ginned, snared, winged, or
bagged by Italian poachers. Tru3 thar fowling
pieces are both Brummagem. The same percussion
caw, powder, and lead, are used by the gamekeeper
as by the poacher, the coveys are to he " marked in "
by the same mewl, and to the same end, that of tum-
bling them into the pot or hanging them its the
larder ; but then the Bishop has got the licence, and
insists upon the C3rdinal delivering up his gun.
" We must not," declares the holy man, "through
any dread of hard names, or unjust impurdtians, shrink
in this day of reproach from maintaining firmly our own
Church principles. To hold all that our Church teaches;
to believe in their natunal sense, without ',serve or
equivocation, either on thi, :-frie or on that, all ihe doc •
trines of her article 3, catechism, and liturgical formularies;
to love her and 11,r Eeglish Bible and her Book of Com-
mon Prayer, her daily devotions, and her decent ceremonies;
to believe that, her mis'ion is from God; her creeds, her
sacraments, and her orders from Christ; that man did not
give them and cannot alter them; —;his, my beloved brethren,
is at such a time as the present our bounden, and our

e. eoial duty."
"The Bible," it is obviouq, "the Bible alone, is not
the religion of Protestants" of the Oxford school.
" Articles, catechism, liturgical formularies, Common
Prayer Book, decent ceremonies, creeds, sacraments.
and orders are all from Christ," "man did not give

them," although they are all in an Act of Parlia-
ment—" man cannot alter them," although the L'civy
Council has—perhaps because it escapes the category
by proving itself a conclave of old women, under
the petticoat government of the " Queen's spiritual
~upremacy." Now what is all this but Popery in
its rankest form ? What more does or says Cardinal
Wiseman than that not only the Bible but the Ca-
tholic Church, and her creeds, forms and liturgies,
are not of man, but of God's inviration ? That
although all of them, except the Pentateuch and New
Testament, are human composition, the cr,?eds, sacra-
ments and order_-, are given directly by Christ, and
that everything that the Church says, due=, and enacts
is infallible, because handed down and, therefore, in-
spired by the second person of the Trinity ?
;lees Deputy Peacock, in his courageous letter to hi%
constituents of the Ward of Bishopsgate, observe—
" I consider the question . . . as only a contest
between the two I,,stablished Churches about an empty
title. . . . The Church of England holds so
many points of faith in common with the Church of
Rome, that it is no easy matter to distinguish one from
the other. I think it would be well if the Protestant
Established Church would become more Protestant
and less furnish ; her members would not then be
so easily led away by the show and ceremony
of the Church of Rome. How is it that so few Dissen-
ters join the' furnish Church ? In the large congrega-
tion to which I belong, I never heard but of one, and
he changed to please his wife. I have no fear we shall
ever again become subjects to the priestly domination
of the Church of Rome." As an evidence of the pe-
culiar sort of Protestantism which actuates the mem-

lers of the EstablishedChurch,it is edifying to know

that the Alderman of the Ward suppressed this
man!37 declaration at the Wardmote. Nor is it a less

startling development of the principles which resul
M'N
is]
Catholic priest who uses the Confessional not on the
ground of the evil of confession, but of the priest not
disclosing to the world the secrets he is sworn, and
baund, even if i.e were not sworn, to seal with the
molt sacred trust of secresy 1 We need scarcely say
that nobo3y would confess, if his confession were
liable to disclosure—and that the perpetration of
thousands of crimes has been prevented by the
ghostly terrors with which the priest has threatened in-
tending culprits. In this country the priest can have no
possible interest in the encouragement or impunity of
crime. To the depraved, the criminal, and superstitiow,
the institution of the Confession affords the only access
which the religious, the pure, and the good, can com-
mand to their inner hearts, touching them with divine
charity, softening th.?ir hardness, and affording them
the first glimpse of the beauty of purity and virtue.
It is highly honourable to the Popish clergy that no
temptation has induced them to break faith with even
the most desperate and abandoned. To reproach them
for not disclosing projected crime, by treachery and
breach of trust, can only be the suggestion of a an
whose moral intuitions are miserably perverted, as is,
indeed, the case with most of those who substitute
piety for morality, and preach that faith is all suffi-
cient and virtue mere filthy rags. Such a sentiment
is a tacit reproach to the providence of God himself,
because he. sees and knows all our thoughts and ac-
tions, yet we nowhere find that he discloses them; even
when they are confessed to him in prayer. While
cve are on this subject we feel bound to state that,
from many letters we have received we are satis-
fied that the queries given in the Confession Service
of the Catholic Book of Daily Devotion are never put
by the priest to the poison confessing. They are mere
suggestions to the devout to help their memory, and
to point out to them, by detail, likely breaches of
morality and religion. They are seldom read, just as
many immodest passages in the Old and New Testa-
ment are generally skipped by Bible readers, although
the look is daily before them, and loft open for the
indiscriminate perusal of every member of their fami-
lLs. But if it was right for Paul, in letters addressed
publicly to congregations, minutely to specify and
&scribe almost every variety of incontinence, and
every form of unnatural and nameless offences, not by
general allusion, but by specification of sex, subject,
and object, it is really a curious sort of orthodoxy
which denounces a more veiled and delicate sugges-
tion of such practices by the successor of St. Peter as
beastly, filthy, and indecent. The services of the
Church are a mere translation of "the Word" into
Inman language, and these queries are really nomore
.has a inodern embodiment of much that may be
7ound more at large in the Epistles of the Apostle of
Ale Gentiles.

THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

No day could well have been more unfortunate for
the admission of the members of the Society of Arts
to view the Crystal Palace than Tuesday ; for the
weather was anything but favourable, a rain continu-
ing without intermission during the whole morning,
and the roads in the neghbourhood of the edifice
being one mass of loose, pulpy mud. Notwithstand-
ing these drawbacks, the invitation so liberally ac-
corded by Messrs. Fox and Henderson was gladly
answered, and some hundreds of individuals flocked
into the building about twelve o'clock, to hear the lec-
ture of Professor Cowper, and reconnoitre the works
and workshops.
The lecture was delivered in an enclosure, tem-
porarily hung round with carpets, under the gallery
on the west of the contractors' offices. Professor
Cowper began his discourse precisely at mid-day, in
order to get,through the prescribed task as quickly as
possible—that is, during the dinner hour of the men.
Standing on a rostrum on the south side of the ex-
tempore room, and provided with a variety of models
and diagrams, he went through a popular description
of the mechanical details of the erection, very
little of which, however, could be heard by the crowd
who surrounded him, for the company the most re-
mote from the speaker was anything but stationary ;
and the echoes of their footsteps and the noises neces-
sarily incidental to a huge unfinished building of this
character either drowned or obscured the voice. The
remarks that the Professor made were delivered with
great hurry and volubility, but they were to the pur-
pose, although homely, desultory, and brief. After a
few appropriate observations by way of introduction,
he described the columns and the process by which
they had been fashioned so precisely of that shape the
most conducive to strength throughout ; illustrating
by a simple experiment with a group of perpendicular
quills (which he demonstrated could carry a burden of
two hundred weight), that any fears as to their inca-
pacity to bear the weight of such a vast architectural
pile were utterly groundless. While dwelling on the
girders he showed how admirably the strain was dis-
tributed by the bracings, each of which he analysed with
reference toits position and its individual utility—again
affording a simple test of the efficiency of the method,
by building, with moveable pieces of wood, a model
of the girders which supported the roof, and applying
to it a weight of more than one hundred weight;
pointing out also by similar modes of proof the
sagacity of Messrs. Fox and Henderson in securing
perpendicular preservation of the entire framework
by consulting the points liable to stress, and provitigs
for the same by a scientific adjustment ofirtohn arms
specifically calculated to spread and enfeeble e

lecture was the account given of the construction of
the immense arches which snan the transept—the
nature of an arch being critically explained by

the professor, accompanied by an appeal to
models, in which the attributes of thrust
and tension were manifested, as a better means of
appreciating the scientific beauty of the contrivance
by which those perils had been overcome. The
mode of elevating those large and cumbrous semi-
circles of metal were then alluded to ; after which
the lecturer paid a well-deserved compliment to the
skill, perseverance, and scientific acquirement of Mr.
Pox, under whose personal supervision the works had
been from the first moment carried on, closing with a
passing reference to the trees which stand in all their
native majesty, unimpaired and unconfined, under the
transcept ; from which it was a very easy thing
to derive a happy moral touching " trees of li-
berty," and the glorious freedom of the English con-
{ stitution!

The lecture concluded, the listeners followed the
professor in a stream, and scrambling over planks and
rafters witnessed the operation of the hydraulic ma
chine, and the proving of a girder; examining also
the circular saws which cut the gutters and the sash-
bars, the travelling scaffolding, the punching machines,
the glazing processes, &c. Long after the artificers
returned to their work did the guests of Messrs. Fox
and Henderson remain in the building, for notwith-
standing the extreme inconvenience under which the
scrutinytoak place,nothing could well he more interest-
ing—not only as an exemplification of mechanical skill
as applied to the erection of an edifice for a prodigious
and unprecedented object, but as an instance of in-
dustry and indefatigability, effort and enterprise,
which we believe no other nation in the world could
parallel.
Every part of the building was examined in its
turn, even to the galleries, the only access to which
was by perpendicular ladders, and the only passage
along which.was by narrow planks, without railings,
in many cases far from secure. The cut-like faculty
of walking in difficult places was sorely needed when
mounted in these tipper regions. The view from the
gallery on the north well repaid the adventurous
visitor for the trouble of getting to this hazardous
locality. A more perfect idea of the general extent of
the area was gained from this point than from any
other, and the coup tt ccil was most imposing. The
length of the ❑ave was not no striking as might have
been expected; but the perspective of lines occasioned
by the delicate and symmetrical character of the iron
pillars and girders was eminently beautiful, and chal-
lenged universal admiration. The glazing is still in
a very incomplete state, nearly the whole of the tran-
sept, and many of the sashes on the east of it, re-
maining unfilled. The colours tried upon a portion
of the lower range of iron work were freely dis-
cussed.. Few, however, cared to praise the vivid, oil-
and-colour-shop complexion of this experimental de-
coration ; for it was obvious that some neutral, homo-
geneous tint would have been more in accordance
with good taste, aid more likely to promote a decorous
and effective ensentbk.

THE EXHIBITION OF 1851.
In consequence of misapprehensions which have
arisen and alterations which are required to be made
in the areas for the sale of refreshments, the Execu-
tive Committee have determined upon calling for fresh

tain kinds of refreshments in one, two, or three sepa•
