THE WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE
EDWARD lIOLLEST, of Frimley, Surrey.—Frimley, Bag-
shot, December 31,1850.—An earliest APPEAL to public benevolence
is respectfully submitted by a few friends and neighbours on behalf
of the WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD lIOLLEST,
who for a priori 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 under his charge. The act of
atrocity by Which the Rev. Mr. Holiest was suddenly cut off is
universally known, but those only who arc acquainted with his posi-
tion are aware that he never had the means of making a provisisa
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 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.
Berries, 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, E,q., Manor House, Frimley.
Rev. J. IL Clayton, Farnborough, Bagshot.
Rev. John Lawrell, Cove, Bagshot.
Sir Walter Farquhar, Bart., Farnborough-place, Bagshot.
Thomas Longman, Esq., Farnborough-hill, Bagshot..
Captain C garles Edward Mangles, Poyle-park, Farnham, surrey,

The Commitee have the s Itisfactlrm to state that her Majesty the
Queen, the Duchess of Gloucester, an I the Bishop of Winchester,
have sanctioned their exertions by very liberal donations.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0101.
(Incorporated 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.

Extensi
Moderal

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 Insurance can only be ap-
proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted n, 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 Aver ige, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to tic 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 investigalon will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett
excess will be no ode 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 Property on moderate terms.

DISPUTED LIFE POLICIES.

A teal of considerable Interest to Life Assurance Offices and the
public was concluded yesterday in the Court of Exchequer. The
Eagle Company held a policy for an assurance of 5391. in the Albion
Company as security for an advance, the payment of which policy
was now disputed by the Albion, on the ground that at the time it
was effected the fact of the assured party having been a man of in-
temperate habits was concealed from the office. she chief evidence
turne I upon the question as to the degree of intemperance that had
been exhibited, and the result was, that a verdict was given against
the resisting office, not only for the amount of the policy, but also for
401. interest from the date when it became due. The circumstance
of the action being brought by one office against another presents a
striking illustration of the uncertainty which may attach to all po-
licies under the present system, and shows that the only mode by
wltch absolute security can be obtained by the public must lie in the
general adoption by Assurance Offices of the plan of protelting them-
selves in every case by due inquiries before the granting • f each po-
licy, and of afterwards assuming the full responsibility of the com-
pleteness of such inquiries by holding th.,mselves precluded from
raising any future question. In the present ease two offices are
found to he diametrically opposed in their opinions as tc what can
properly invalidate a claim, and yet the public are expected to be
able to guare themselves against such contingences. Similar cases
have occurred before, and even if they were more rare, they would
seriously injure the progress of life assurance. The very principle
upon which the business is founded is the removal of uncertainty,
and whenever that principle is counteracted in the slightest degree,
the people who would be the first to resort to its advantages are the
first to be deterred."—Times, July 11, 1850.

LIFE DEPARTMENT.—Unthr the provisions of an Act of Par-
liament, recently obtained, this Company now offers to future In-
surers a I,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, the
reversionary Bonuses added to the polic'es from one half the profits
amounted, en 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 770,000/.
FOREIGN RISKS.—The extra Premiums requirel for tha 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
on the sth of June, upon the premiums received on all Policies
which had been in force seven years at Christmas 1849, and the same
snow in course of payment daily (Friday and Saturday excepted),
between the hours of ten and three' o'clock, at the Head Office; and
lisp 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.

FIFTY AND 'FIFTY-ONE.
he Nineteenth Century is now equally divided. The last
day of the first Fifty years has been rung out, and the first day of
the succeeding Fifty has been rung in. The departure of one
year, and the advent of another, are ever regarded with feelings of
interest; and the commencement of a new half century is looked
upon as an epocha in the history of the world.

The statesman, the historian, the philosoph,r, and the moralist,
are equally alive to the importance and interest attaching to such a
conjuncture.

The dawning of the present year is viewed with unusual interest,
not merely because it is the initial year of a new half century, but,
likewise, because it is to be distinguished by ene of the most extra-
ordinary events (if not the most extraordinary) that has ever
transpired.

It will not be expected that 1%103ES and SON will remain silent
at a moment like the present ; more especially when it is recollected
that the Proprietors make a practice at this season of acknowledg-
ing past obligations in trade, and soliciting future favours with a re •
assurance of future endeavours.

It must be evident to everybody, that ever since E. MOSES and
SON commenced, there has been a certain, unfluctuating progres-
sion in their trade. Like as the quicksilver of the thermometer rises
in its glass, as the day opens and warms, has the trade of E. MOSES
and AON risen year after year beneath the warm support of an ap-,
proving Public.

That such a simile is not a mere hyperbole, the discerning Public
have abundont proof—proof too clear and conclusive to be disputed
by any candid observer.

The Parent Speculation •f E. MOSES and SON. in the City has
spread and spread year after year, till it has become the most gigan-
tic trading house in the world.

Again :so great has been the demand for the ad'-antages held out
by the Proprietors, that two impirtant towns in Yorkshire (Brad-
ford and Sheffield) have been made the scenes of still further opera-
tions; for the success attending which, E. It:.O.ES and SON have
had to make distinct and special acknowledgments in the annual ad-
dresses of previous years.
Thus far it is evident that each succeeding year has surpassed its
predecessor in the pubiic support realized by the Proprietors. Nor
can less be, with truth, asserted of the year which has just expired.
Eighteen Hundred and Fifty has been distinguished by the opening
of a vast West-end ranch Dress Mart, the opening of which was
hinted at in the annual address of last year.
To each of the Establishments thus referred to, the year Eighteen
Hundred and Fifty has been a year of undoubted prosperity ; prospe-
rity of which the proprietors fled it difficult to convey an adequate
idea, and prosperity for which they find it utterly impossible to make
an adequate return in the present circular. There is one satisfac-
tion, however, namely—that were the Proprietors to occupy whole
co'unms of the public prints in expressing the sincerity of their ac-
knowledgments, the public would consider their professions as
utterly valueless, were their acknowledgments unaccompanied by
corroborative merits. It is but reasonable to conclude that an im-
partial and enlightened public would not have supported E. MOSES
and SON to the extent which they have done, were there not some
sterling inducements held out by the Proprietors.
It is admitted on all hands, that the secret of the success which
E. MOSES and SON have realised, lies in the excellence and ele-
gance of their attire, coupled with the exceelingly moderate prices
at which the articles are sold.

That sueh advantages shall be extended in the year 1851, the
public need not question. Teat Grand Exhibition, which the Ame-
rican President has denominated `• The World's Fair," has not been
overlooked by E. MOSES and SON._

It is dinicalt to conceive what will be the result of such an Exhi-
bition ; but hatever that result may be, E. MOSES and SON are
bent on distinguishing themselves in no ordinary manner. The pre-
sent year has not come upon the proprietors unawares. From the
very moment that her Majesty's Royal Consort gave birth to his
comprehensive con.eptio•r, E. MOSES and SON have been on the
alert in preparing a stock of attire of every descripton, such as no
prt ceding year has a itnessed. For immensity of stock, variety of
assortment, quality and beauty of cloth, novelty and elegance of
fashion, and surprising ch apness, E. MOSES and SON will be found
to be unequalled.
The Proprietors would here intimate, that 'he moment the Royal
Commissioned commenced its operations, or as soon as the Great Ex-
hibit ion was first mentioned. they put themselves in communication
ith the p incipal mantt!acturers in woollen and other labrics, and
that they have succeeded, by m. ans of awarding liberal prizes, ht
securing some of the most tatty and novel materials for gentlemen's
dress, which will be ready for exhibition at the commencement of
the ensuing Spring Season.
By tints extending the advantages of their trade, the Proprietors
intend to recompense a liberal public, and secure a continuance of
support, so abundantly realised a' present.
As the West-end Branch Establishment was a project of the past
year, E. MOSES and SON are induced to make a special allusion to
it. The support which this speculation has received, far, im-
measurably far, exceeds even what the Proprietors themselves had
anticipated ; such triumphant support has here been achieved by E.
MOSES and SON, as fully convinces them that this opening was
none other than a step in the right direction.
heartily acknowledging this special proof of success, E. MOSES
and SON weal conclude, hoping that, by the industry of all nations,
the amity of ad nations will be happily promoted in the year 1851.

The acknowledged efficacy of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEU-

has rendered this medicine the most popular of the present age ; and
in corroboration of which the following extract of a letter, written
by John Mollard Wheeler, E,q., Collector of Customs, Jamaica, hav-

" I know you have never had occasion to take Blair's Pills, but
let me emphatically tell you, in mercyito any friend who may suffer
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 acqu -intances
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."

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap ,tying 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 as, ..stance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has tal'An 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 almost solely to the treatment of these
diseases. .

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
ADMIRALTY, MONDAY.
The following are the annual coast-guard promo-
tions for the year 1851 :

Commander—George Davies (1842), to the rank of
captain.
Lieutenants—John Bailey (1826), G. F. West-
brook (1826), and William Maxwell (1820), to the
rank of commander.
All the above are officers of old standing.
Captain Davies, promoted from inspecting com-
mander of the Penzance district, entered the navy in
June, 1813, on board the Ajax, 74. In that ship he
assisted, while at the siege of St. Sebastian, in taking
the island of Sta. Clara, and was present as midship-
man at the blockade of Rochefort and of Toulon, the
surrender of Marseilles, and the capture of a vast

number of the Enemy's armed and other vessels.
Joining next the Que‘n Charlotte, 100, bearing the
flag of Lard Exmouth, he took part in the bombard-
ment of Algiers August 27, 1816, and on that oc-
casion he particularly attracted the notice of his
Commander-in-Chief, whose orders he was through-
out employed in conveying to the different
ships of the fleet. The boat he commanded was
frequently under the necessity of being partially re-
manned in consequence of the great loss of her crew
in killed and wounded. In 1821 became attached to
the Seringapatam, 46, in the boats of- which ship he
appears to have assisted at the capture and destruction
of various piratical vessels in the West Indies. On
his removal, in January, 1824, to the Naiad, 46, he
contributed to the utter defeat, on the 31st of that
month, of the Tripoli, Algerine corvette, of 18 guns
and 100 men; and on the night of the 231 of May
following he aided in the boats, under Lieutenant
Michael Quin, at the brilliant destruction of a 16-
strength

in which were a garrison of about 400 soldiers, who
from cannon and musket kept up a tremendous fire
almost perpendicularly upon the deck. He after-
wards, in charge of the ship's barge, brought out a
piratical mistico from the Island of Hydra ; and on
rejoining the Seringapatam frequently landed at the
head of a division of seamen in order to co-operate
with the marines of that ship and of the Revenge
in their hostilities against the pirates of other Greek
settlements in the Archipelago. lie was pro
moted for his gallantry at Bona to the rank of lieu-

tenant, June 1, 1826, -five years previously to which
he had pissed his examination. Between Dec. 13,
1828 and 1831 he further served in the West Indies
as First-Lieutenant of the Ranger, 28, and Mersey,
26. On July 6, 1832, he was appointed to a station
in the coast-guard, which he resigned on being nomi-
nated to the commind, Nov. 28, 1836, of the Tartar
revenue. cutter. At the expiration of his servitude in
the latter-vessel he returned to the coast-guard,
Mirch 27, 1840, and continued in that service, in
which, and in the Tartar, he was so successful as to
effect the capture of not fewer than fifteen notorious
smuggling vessels, besides making numerous other
seizures and many other salvages—until Jan. 1, 1842,
when he was promoted to his present rank. Since
July 3, 1843, he has been re-employed in the coast-
guard as an inspecting commander. For often
hazarding his life for the preservation f his fellow-
creatures, by jumping overboard and otherwise, he
obtained six medals from the Royal Humane Society
and the National Shipwreck Institution. King Louis
Philippe, in acknowledgment of his having saved the
crews of! three French vessels, also conferred on him
two gold "medals of merit ;" and on the last occa-
sion his Majesty presented him with the order of the
Legion of Honour. Commander Davies also received
three pieces of plate, and the frequent thanks of the
Board of Admiralty and of the Committee of Lloyd's.
Commander Maxwell has been promoted from the
Worthing station, is an old coast-blockade and coast-
guard officer, having been in both services from 1826.
He entered the navy in 1810, on board the Diana,
38, and was in the attack on the two French frigates,
Imogene and Eliza, when these vessels were aground
under the protection of several strong batteries at La
Hogue. He was in the Venerable, 74, when in com-
pany with the Cyane sloop, the French 44-gun fri-
gates Iphigenie and Alcmene were captured. He
served successively in the West Indies and East
Indies, and on the 6th November,lBl9, was promoted
by Sir Home Popham Lieutenant of the Ontario, 18,
in the boats of which vessel he contributed to the
capture of one and destruction of another piratical
schooner. He was confirmed Jane 9, 1820, and was
appointed May 23, 1823, to the Cameleon, 10, and
under the command of Captain Ryder Burton, K.H.,
took part January, 1824, in a close and gallant action
which terminated in the boarding and capture, under
the very batteries of Algiers, of the corvette Tripoli,
18 guns and 100 men, in which affair the Gallant
Captain was wounded.

Commander Bailey has been in the coast •guard
service 20 years, and has been promoted from Atha-
field-station. At the Start Bay and Atherfield sta-
tions he distinguished himself in getting vessels,
saving cargoes, and rescuing crews. Twice received
the silver and once the gold medal of the Royal Ship-
wreck Institution, and also the large honorary medal
voted by the subscribers at Lloyd's, and the thanks
of the Admiralty, and the National Shipwreck In-
stitute, " for his praiseworthy and gallant conduct
during the memorable gale of January 13 and 14,
1843, for pushing off in his boat, with Lieutenant
Vicary, when all other means had failed, and saving
the crew of the brig George, of Sunderland, which
ship went to pieces." He entered the navy in 1812,
and in early life served against the American priva-
teers, shared in the operations against New Orleans,
was slightly wounded in an affair up the River St.
Mary, aud served in the Halcyon, 18, in destroying
the various nests of pirates along the shores of Cuba,
Isle of Pines, and Gulf of Mexico.

Commander Westbrook has been promoted from
the command of the Stag revenue cutter. Off and
on he has served in the coast blockade and coast
guard ashore and afloat since 1827. He entered the
navy in 1809, passed his examination in 1817, and
was made July 26, 1826. He is the inventor of a
" Peril Indicator," the object of which is to denote
the approach of ground to ships.
Commodore Lord John Hay, C. 8., re-hoisted his
broad pendant on board the St. George on Monday
morning, and resumed his duties in Devonport
Dockyard.
. . . _ .

Captain Milne returns to the Admiralty and re-
sumes his official duties on the 9th inst.

Lieutenant Algernon F. R. De Horsey (1846), of
the Arrogant, 46, screw-frigate, at Portsmouth. is to
be flag-lieutenant to Vice-Admiral Sir George
Seymour, the new Commander-in-Chief for the
West Indies.
Lieutenant Henry Thomas Smith (1841) died Dec.
26, aged 40.
There are half-a-dozen promotions due from the
rank of commander to that of captain. It is due to
the long-serving and deserving officers that these va-
cancies should be filled up.
EXPERIMENTS ON BOARD VTR ARROGANT SCREW.
FRIGATE.—An experiment was tried yesterday on
board the Arrogant, 46, Captain Robinson, at Ports-
mouth, with a view to test her after-body to dis-
cover if there was any deflexion that would affect the
screw-shaft, before the ship was allowed to take her
blocks. Sights were placed on the deck, from the
taffrail to the untuuniket, and brought into one plane,

[PRICE SD.

while the ship still floated. She was then allowed
to ground on the blocks, when there was no sensible

difference. When the water left the dock six after,

blocks were removed from under the keel, and the
ship was allowed to overhang without them, when no
alteration took place, although she remained in this
position for some time. This experiment was per-
fectly satisfactory to the engineers, as it proved that
the ship was sufficiently rigid to prevent any bend-
ing taking place. This admits of the screw shaft
being fitted with every degree of correctness and
certainty. The bottom was seen to be rather foul as
the water left the dock.
ARRIVAL OF THE BIRKENHEAD FROM ASCENSION.
—The Birkenhead steam-vessel, Master-Commander
Oyten, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday afternoon,
about two o'clock, from Ascension, which place she
left on the sth December, having conveyed the pro-
visions and stores i❑ safety. She has brought stores
from the island, and touched at Madeira coming
home as well as going out. The Birkenhead has
made a rapid passage out and home, and has done
good service. . .

Amphitrite, 26, Captain Frederick, and Bee steam-
tender, go out of Portsmonth Basin on Wednesday ;
and the Bee will be docked after the Fairy is un-
docked.

Fairy screw-tender, is to be tried on Thursday at
the measured mile, to test the new patent pliable
steel screw, She has had a coating of Mr. Hay's
varnish while in dock. This composition seems to
answer most admirably, as the Fairy was perfectly
clean when she came into dock, after six months'
wear.

Crane, 6, packet-brig, Lieutenant-Commander
Parsons, arrived at Devonport from Falmouth, on
Friday night, to be paid off, and then fitted similar to
the Penguin and Express, for service on the coast of
Africa.

Sampson, 6, steam-frigate, Captain Jones, will be
taken into No. 5 Dock, at Devonport, to clean her
copper.
DEYONPORT DOCKYARD, JAN. 5, 1851.—Lee, the
labourer, late in the employ of Mr. Clift, the con-
tractor, who was detected attempting to pass out of
the yard with copper in his possession some few weeks
since, was tried yesterday at the sessions, and sen-
tenced to six months imprisonment and hard labour.
William Macey, the police-constable detected at-
tempting to embezzle copper which he had taken from
a store-chest, the skeleton-key being found in his
possession, was also tried yesterday, and sentenced to
be transported for ten years.
PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.— The Cyclops steam-
frigate, Captain the Hon. G. F. Hastings, was at St.
Helena, detained on her passage to England on account
of a court of inquiry. The Hecla steam-sloop, Com-
mander Beauchamp, was at Ascension, with the
Tortoise store and guard ship. On going into Ma-
deira she found the Harlequin, 12, Commander Wil-
mot, anchored in 80 fathoms of water (!) She took
her in tow and left her in shallower water. Not
liking to distress the coal depot at Ascension, the
Birkenhead was very short when she arrived at
Madeira. She has brought home condemned stores,
and came into harbour to refit this afternoon.

The Fantome, 12, Commander Genneys, was
towed out to Spithead this morning. She sails to-
morrow for Devonport, to ship the mails for the coast
of Africa.

The Mermaid convict ship is detained at Spitbead
by measles, which have broken out among the children
on hoard.

PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY.—A statement relative to
the alleged discontented condition of the crew of the
frigate Indefatigable having been officially contra-
dicted on Saturday, we have endeavoured to obtain
more explicit information on the subject, and in so
doing have put ourselves into communication with
some of the crew who intend to remain in the ship,
as well as with those who wish to leave her. Per-
sons acquainted with the strict discipline sometimes
observed towards the officers and crews of her
Majesty's ships will be best able to appreciate the
difficulty of obtaining such information, and this
difficulty must be our answer for any unimportant
error.

Ou Tuesday last, the 31st of December, 1850, the
crew of the Indefatigable, then in dock, sent a mes-
sage through the First Lieutenant that they wished
to have personal communication with Captain Smart,
and about one o'clock their request was granted, and
they all came aft. The petty officers, being so au-
thorized by the crew, inquired if the new regulations
reducirg the allowance of rum from one gill to half
a gill per diem was to come into operation on board
of the frigate the next day (January 1), and being
answered in the affirmative, they, with several of the
men, openly expressed a desire not to be placed under
the new regulations. Captain Smart said be would
address the Port-Admiral on the subject.
On Wednesday, the Ist of January, shortly after
one o'clock, the men were again called aft, and Capt.
Smart read the answer of Sir 'William Hall Gage,
which stated that it was necessary for the crew of the
Indefatigable, like other ships of the royal navy, to
comply with the regulations of the Lords of the Ad-
miralty. This answer was very unpalatable to the
men, some of whom reiterated their expressions of
discontent, when Captain Smart called them indivi-
dually to him, and inquiring if they had any other
cause of complaint, endeavoured very mildly, but
firmly, to show how much more serviceable the addi-
tional pay would be to their families than the extra
grog to themselves. Neither this argument nor the
fear of never again being permitted to serve in the
royal navy appeared to have any effect, and they re-
tired still discontented, Captain Smart informing
them, as they understood, that the Port-Admiral
would forward their complaint to the Lords of the
Admiralty.
On Thursday, the 2d of January, the crew solicited
leave for the afternoon, and this having been very
properly refused, in consequence of the necessity of
taking the chip out of dock at tide-time (6
A.M. the next day), they in the evening plainly exhi-
bited their insubordination, by breaking in piecea the
basins, plates, and other crockery belonging to their
messes. The First Lieutenant went below, and or-
dered the Marines who were unrigged to rig arms
again, and so they continued until twelve o'clock,
when they dismantled. It is reported that the crew
this day refused at first to leave their hulk (the 1.3e1-
lona), to go to the dockyard on the frigate's duty.
The crew were shipped in draughts from several
ports, and there are among them many merchant sea-
men, who have no claim on the Admiralty for servi-
tude as an inducement to remain. Above 40 are now
on shore, having broken their leave, some having left
on the 28:h ult. She is about 150 short of comple-
ment, is over-proportioned with ordinary seamen, and
few others are offering.
The Indefatigable, as well as the dockyard authori-
ties have received orders for her to be equipped for
sea as speedily as possible, and such is the dispatch
observed that late this afternoon Captain Smart him-
self, with a portion of his crew, were hoisting in the
ship's tanks during heavy rain. She is nearly out of
the hands of the dockyard.—Times.

- MELANCHOLY ArrAnt.—On Thursday evening it
was discovered, as the unfortunate issue proved, that a de-
cent shoemaker, advanced in years. of the name of Traill,
residing in Bridgend, had put a period to his existence by
throwing himself into the river. The causes that led to the
rash act are said to have arisen from a merbid apprehension
that he would be taken to gaol, as he would not be able to
meet his landlord on rent-day. This feeling took so strong
possession of his mind some time previous to rent-day, that
he indulged considerably in liquor, and sinking into absolute
despair, on the Thursday night, solicited a cup of tea from
his daughter, which was given him with a caution to try
and behave, to which he replied it would be the last cup be
would drink. No attention was paid to the threat inferred
from his words; but next morning his hat was found at the
river side. The body was discovered on Saturday morning,
wheeling in the strong eddy in the deep water called the
"pat bole."....Perthehire Courier.

ky morning Mr. Braidwood, the superin-
the London fire engine establishment, laid
oris—rego )f fires, which had occurred in the metro-
politan istrict during the past year before the
managing committee, who met at the chief station in
Watling-street for that purpose. Mr. Braidwood de-
scribed the number of premises totally destroyed and
considerably damaged as being 247; the most extensive
fire was tbat which occurred in Mark-lane, City, and
which was not extinguished for nearly two months.
The property destroyed on that occasion was roughly
estimated at upwards of 200,0001., but the precise
amount of loss has never been accurately learnt;
neither could anything likely to be depended upon be
gleaned as to the origin of the misfortune. The next
fire of any importance was that which occurred on the
night of Thursday, the 3d of October, in the South-
wark-bridge-road. Although the engines of the
brigade were stationed immediately opposite, and the
turncock was on the spot in less than two minutes
after the alarm was given, the whole of Messrs.
Brookes' candle works were burnt down and several
houses seriously damaged. The next district which
suffered, and that to a serious extent by fires, was
Bermondsey. From the 14th of October to the
25th of December a great number of very alarming
and devastating conflagrations happened which
laid in ruins a vast amount of property. Two
fires occurred in one night, and within a short dis-
tance of each other, which favours the supposition
that the fiendish spirit of incendiarism has been at
work. Among the buildings described as consider-
ably damaged was the Travellers' Club, and had it
not been for the exertions of the firemen there is no
doubt that the whole of that building, as well as the
Athenaeum, next door, would have been destroyed.
The report returns the number of buildings slightly
injured as being 621, while the preceding Sear they
were only 582. The total number of premises de-
stroyed and seriously damaged in 1849 was 256,
being nine more than last year. The total number of
fires of all kinds last year was 868, while in 1849 they
were only 838, showing an increase of 30 during the
past twelve months. The false alarms last year were
91, while the year before they were only 76, which
will give an increase of 15. The chimneys on fire
last year were 79, while in 1849 there,wers 89, show-
ing a decrease of 10. The number of fatal fires last
year was 17, and the number of lives lost 18, while
the number of persons who perished from the same
cause in the preceding year was 26. The total
number of calls for assistance during the past year
was 1,038, while in 1849 the calls were 1,003, show-
ing an increase of 35 during the past year. The
origin of a great many fires cannot be accounted
for; a great number, however, are returned as being
caused by sparks, gas, Weiler matches, smoking to-
bacco, drunkenness, and explosion of fireworks—by
the latter nearly 100 houses were seriously damaged,
as well as the parochial school and spacious church in
Spitalfields, a few months since.
