THE WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE
EDWIRD HOLLEST, of Primley, Sttrrey, —Frimley, Bag-
shut, 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 El) WARD HOLLEST,
who for a p .rio,l of 14 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 mealss of making a provisi.n
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 tar 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 hankers :—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, Frlmley, Bagshot.
J. F. Burrell, Esq., Manor House, Frimley.
Rev. J. 11. Clayton, Farnborough, Bagshot.
Rev. John Lawrell, Cove, Bagshot.
Sir Walter Farquhar, Bart., Farnborough-place, Bagshot.
Thomas Longman, Esq., Farnborough-hill, Bagshot.

Captain Charles Edward Mangles, Poyle-park, Farnham, Surrey.
—The CornmWee 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 Committee return their grateful thanks for the liberal manner
in which their appeal has been responded to, and they thankfully
acknowledge the following

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY,
11, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON.
The FOURTEI 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 Englanfi.
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2601.—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. Gd.:
of these 12 i, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. Gs.
Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 35.
was received by the Company in the shape of premiums.
Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last,
assurances were effected to the extent of 110,972/. 12s Gd., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. I Is. Gd. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,9501. 16s. Gd., of which the annual premiums were
7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,9911. 159. Ild.

Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,1831. Ils. 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 Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Pallets, 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-
naitieS 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 oMcers of the establish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and future prospects.

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES.
WOOL TRADE, LONDON, JAN. 9.—The wool market
is firm. The imports into London during the week
ending to-day have been 2;246 bales, of which 1,362
were from Sydney, 635 from Algoa Bay, 181 from Ger-
many, 46 from Turkey, and 22 from Buenos Ayres.
ENGLISH WWI., LEEDS, JAN. 10.—There has been
a fair amount of sales this week, and prices are firm and
tending upwards, although they are below the propor-
tion of the rates at which they have recently been suld
by the growers in the country.
FOREIGN WOOL, LEEDS, JAN. IO.—A fair extent of
business has been done in this market during the past
week, and prices are decidedly firm. •
LIVERPOOL WOOL, JAN. 9.—Business is very quiet;
not much inquiry. Stocks are low, and holders firm.
Imports the past week-2,200 Alpaca, 1,200 Peruvian,
17 East India, 90 Lisbon, GO Buenos Ayres, 380 Trieste.
TRADE OF LEEDS.—On Saturday, there was about
an average quantity of goods sold at the Cloth•halls,
but the atmosphere being very dark during market-time
on Tuesday, and the stocks light, little was done. Thor e
has, however, been some rather largo deliveries to order
during the week, principally to the shipping houses.
Prices are higher, but not to the extent of the advance in
wool. Business has been rather dull in the warehouses
during the week.
BRADFORD, JAN. 9.—Wools—The heavy purchases
made last month of combing wools have evidently de-
terred the spinners from continuing to buy, as the prices
now sought are too high to induce further animated
operations, and staplers find it equally ditliJult to replace
their stocks in the country so as to make a profit here,
Yarns—The business is almost wholly confined to home
operations, and the quantity consumed is hut little short
of the production. The advanced price of wool and tops
has made the position of the spinners anything but pro-
fitable, and there is no disposition to spin to stock at the
prices now current. It is more than probable tho ship-
pers may now coma into the market, in which case there
will be a briskness at an advance in price. Pieces—
There is a fair business doing in Coburgs and Orleans,
and the stocks on hand not heavy. There is more doing
for America, and as soon as the German houses operate
for the spring fair, we may expect a lively business being
done. Prices for all kinds of goods very firtn.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER, JAN. 9.—There is no change
in our yarn and cloth market since Tuesday. As ou
that day, though there is a fair amount of bu3iness doing,
there is less than was expected, hut the extent to which
many of the largo spinners and tnanuf.ictur.,rs are under
contract keeps stack so bare that prices remain tolerably
firm. Some of the Greek houses, who have been long
out of the market as purchasers, are, however, now
coming in to a moderate extent, and the East India
buyers eagerly seizi any appearance of a softening in
prices, and give out large orders. On the whole,
prices, though firm, have a relaxing rather than a har-
dening tendency. In the home trade, the very large
purchases recently made seem, for the moment, to have
pretty much supplied their wants.
NOTTINGHAIL—Lace—There has been a little more
activity in the demand for our goods since our last, but
not nearly sufficient in proportion to clear off the surplus
stocks accumulated by machine holders during the first
periods of November and December; but as the price of
yarn is. still high, and likely to remain so, these persons
need be under no apprehension of losing by their stock on
hand, particularly as, on all hands, it is agreed a good
trade may be very reasonably expected ere long. Hosiery
—Contracts for spring goods are being entered into a
great extent for all descriptions suitable to the season,
by the factors at Home, as well as by some houses en-
gaged in the export trade. The price of yarn is firm,
and likely to continue so for some time.—Nottingham
Journal.

LEICESTER TRADE.—Trade remains quiet at present,
particularly in woollen goods. Some disposition to
transact business in cotton goods is manifested, but the
high price the raw material ranges at very much inter-
feres both Kith purchases and orders.-IVottinghant
Journal.
