I_HE WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE
EDWARD 16LLESP, of Frinaley, Surrey, —Frimley, Bag-
shot, December 31, 1550.—A it earnest APPEAL to public benevolence
is respectfully submitted by R few friends and neighbours on behalf
of the WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD HOW .ES
who for a period 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. Ilollest was suddenly cut off is
universally known, but those only who are acquainted with his posi-
tion are aware that he never had the mea:gs 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. llollest does not exceed 40/. per annum, and subscriptions are
earnestly solicited in aid of these inadequate mealy. Subscriptions
will he 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.; Al essrs.
Smith, Payne, and Co.; Sir S. Scott, Bart., and Co., I, 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, yrimley.
Rev. J. H. Clayton, Farnborough, Bagshot.

Sir Walter Farquhar, Bart., Farnborough-place, Bagshot,
Thomas Loagman, Esq., Farnborough-hill, Bagshot.
Captain Caarles Edward Mangles, Poyle-park, Farnham, Surrey.
The Committee have the satisfaction to state that her Majesty the
Queen, the Duchess of Gloucester, ant the Bishop of Winchester,
have sanctioned their exertions by very liberal donatiens.
The Committee return their grateful thanks for the lily !al mariner
in which their appeal has been responded to, and :hey thankfully
acknowledge the fallowing

The WITHDRAWAL TABLE of the Society affords to the As-
sured the greatest possible present and prospective advantages that
can be conferred by Life Assurance. On this Tab e the Assured is
entitled, at any time, to receive at interest an immediate advance,
to the extent of one-half the amount of the paid annual Premiums,
without security, personal liability, or deposit of the Policy, but by
simple endorsement thereon ; or the half Premium may be with-
held during the whole continuance of the Policy. Also, in the
event of the Assured at any time not requiring to continue the
Policy, on its surrender one-half of the annual payments will be
returned by the Society.
Lapsed Policies may be renewed without line, on proof of health
and payment of arrears of Premium without interest.
Notices of Assignment of Policies registered and acknowledged,
so as to make them available as securities in the hands of
third parties.

At the several past divisions of profits made by this Company,
reversionary Bonuses added to the polic es from one half the profits
amounted, on an average of the different ales, to about 1 per cent.
per annum on the sums insured, and the total bonuses added to the
four septennial divisions exceeded 770,0001.
FOREIGN RISKS.—The extra Premiums required for the 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.

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 in safety. She has brought stores
from the island, and touched at Madeira corning
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 it the session•, 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
.owed out to Spithead this morning. She sails to-

morrow for Devonport, to ship the mails for the coali
of Africa.

The Mermaid convict ship is detained at Spithead
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 intormation 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.

On 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
reducing 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 he 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, end this having been very
properly refused, in consequence of the necessity of
taking the ship out of dock at tide•time (6
A.M. the next day), they in the evening plainly exhi-
bited their insubordination, by breaking in pieces 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 Ilel-
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 28th 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 AFFAIR.—On Thursday evening it
was discovered, as the unfortunate issue proved, that a de-
cent shoemaker, advanced in years. of the name of Trail!,
i residing n 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 morbid apprehension
that he would be taken to gaol, as he could 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 he
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 hole."...Perthshire Courier.
