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 HOLI,ES r,
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. 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 menus of making a provisi -n
for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case
of Mrs. Efolle,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 feartailv bereft of .its natural supporter. The income of
Mrs. Holiest does not exc cd 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. emits, and Co.; Alessrs..
Smith, Payne, and CO.; Sir S. Scott, Bart., and Co., 1, Cavendish-

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
ertunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sequences, uftwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi-
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently. but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond' no reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for as,.stance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. Li'MEICT has taYen the highest
medical honours, as his diplomaa testiry, and the great extent of his
practice far many years
is a guarantee for his professional expert.

dlseares.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0M/.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office ar3 —Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each ohms of risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty ofcollecting 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 arc more the result of guess
than calculation.

It has been found by experience, that the. total anneal 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 on, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
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 ouestion, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to titre, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of tile risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual investigation will be made into each
class of risk. and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett
excess will be made 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 Pronerty on moderate terms.

of a handsome addition being made, as heretofore, every Five Years,
to the slim Assured.
Premiums may be paid Annually, Half-yearly, or Quarterly, or on
the increasing or decreasing scales.
Officers in Active Service, Persons Afflicted, and those who are

The FOURTH 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 England.
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other tor 280/.—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, 1249, 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. 6d.:
of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s.
Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s.
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 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. lie. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,9911. 152. Ild.
Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,1831. 1 Is. 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-
nuities 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 Officers of the establish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and future prospects.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BRITISH
COLLEGE OF HEALTH, NEW-ROAD, LONDON, FOR

1851.

"If I might give a short hint to an impartial writer, it would be
to tell his fate. If he resolved to venture upon the dangerous pre-
cipice of telling unbiassed truth let him proclaim war with mankind
—neither to give nor to take quarter. If he tells the crimes of great
men they fall upon him with the iron hands of the law ;—if he tells
them of virtues, when they have any, then the mob attack him with
slander ;—but if he regards truth, let him expect martyrdom on both
sides, and then he may go on tearless, and this is the course I take
myself,"—DE Fog. '

FELLOW COUNTRYMEN,—There could not have been a more oppor-
tune movement than the .kapal aggression for the Society of
Hygelsts, because by that movement the mind must now be mar,-
cleated both in religion and in medicine. At present, that which
fetters the human understanding in medicine, is the fact of doctors,
for their own selfish purposes, having introduced most deadly poi-
sons in medicine, by which they bold the public to their chariot
wheels. Do away with all such poisons, and you at
one emancipate the mind in medicine, and obtain that
(greater than all other) civil liberty, viz., " The Medical Liberty
of the subject," for which Mr. Morison and the Society of Hygeists
have for so many years been fighting. Hurrah ! then for the Queen
and the right of private judgment in all questions, whether religious
or civil.

We need scarcely inform you that the cause of Hygeism is pro-
gressing steadily throughout the world ; as it is the cause of truth
against falsehood, such a result might be confidently anticipated.
Blows may be levelled et it by its enemies the doctors, which for a
time have an effect on the minis of those who have been kept in a
state of darkness, but the light of truth must and will at last pre-
vail. There is one point respecting which we would particularly
caution you. Whenever "Hygeism" or the "British College of
Health" is brought into question, doctors endeavour, and sometimes
snceessfally, to make it appear that there is nothing whatever is
those words that can interest society. Now you should all knew that
the system introduced by James Morison, the Hygeist, was a new sys-
tem; that if it be true—as we and hundreds of thousands, from practical
experience believe it to be—the whole fabric of medical systems and
colleges must fall to the ground, and that their total extinction is
only a question of time. That doctors and their colleges are still
declining sfacilis descensus) in public estimation, is made palpable
by the gross invectives in which they indulge against
one another, and their anxiety to obtain from the
Legislature some enactment which may have the effect of forcing
the people when sick to employ them, and take their poisons. No
one, who has carefully looked into the medical periodicals, will,
we think, deny the truth of our assertion. But another proof of the
downfall of medicine as a remunerative profession is also apparent
from the ember of seceders from the regular medical schools, such
as homceopaths, hydropaths, animal magnetizers, &c. A house
divided against itself cannot stand ; we may therefore conclude, that
the doctoring trade is doomed—it is rotten and corrupt at the very,
core. We are the last that would for one moment stand up in de-
fence of homceopathy ; but still we admit the perfect right of all
persons to act aid judge for themselves in matters of medicine :—it
was not, therefore, without feelings of indignation, that we read in
the newspapers of a gross attack upon a most honourable nobleman
in the House of Commons, viz., Lord Robert Grosvenor, merely be-
cause he chose to confide in homoeopathy ; and, to crown all,
that attack was made upon hie Lordship by a judge, and a
medical man too ! ! Can anything, therefore, more completely prove
the miserable state into which regular medicine, as it is called, has
fallen in this country ? As regards homoeopathy, it is, in the eyes
of all Hygeists, the guinea-trade over again. Those doctors who
support it cannot, we presume, mike a living under the old system,
and therefore they have adopted this German quackery ; but still, it
is nothing more or less than the guinea-trade under another name,
and therefore it is looked upon by Hygeists as being as great an im-
position as the other. Its object is like that of the other system of
doctors, to enslave the public mind.
Having shown that doctors as a body are not entitled to the sup-
port of the public, we proceed to show the excellences of the
po.
isoTohse
infirsmt becueaeuitze,ofaothatr system
lo roi sof n
makes every person his own most efficient doctor. The deadly
chemicals introduced into medicine at different times by doctors, in
ilsi,Ytgheal at
n its prohibitsstem of
lamestle u3'se
order to create a monopoly of the healing art, so that the guinea-
*trade might thrive, has inflicted such a blow on the social state, that
we cannot hope to see it recover even in our days—it is at once the
most stupendous and dangerous cheat that was at any time imposed
upon mankind. The frauds in railways and South Sea bubbles, or
anything else you please to mention, are nothing to it—it has made
poisoning and medicine synonymous!! ! The world will yet have to
lament that it allowed itself to he thus enthralled. Under the pre-
tence of promoting science, interested individuals have succeeded
in keeping the public in the dark, and therefore it only
now remains for society, to inquire into this great ques-
tion for themselves, and assert with one voice, that the
system of James Morison, which can he understood by all persons,
from the highest to the lowest, is the only true one, and that it must
come to this, we feel as certain as that the sun shines at noon day.
There is one point connected with this great question of poisons, for
which llygeists and the British College of Health may claim credit,
which is, that in the year 1847 a petition, signed by 20,000 persons,
was presented to the House of Commons by Sir B. Hall, bringing
Into question the poisons advised medicinally by doctors ; but not a
single measure has been adopted by Parliament in reference to that
subject. Whether it is because they see in it the downfall of doctors,
it is for you to decide.
If proof were necessary to show the popularity of Hygeism as
compared wills the doctoring trade, we might cite the fact, that in
the island of Cape Breton 10,000 persons have come forward pub-
licly to attest their faith in the system of James Morison. Where is
the doctor or set of doctors who could obtain such a tribute of spon-
taneous approval ? This public document now hangs up under the
walls of the Royal Exchange, London. You are aware that in the
last number of "'I he Hygeist" we published the report of that
staunch Hygeist, Lieutenant Mackinnon, 01 Cane Breton, an officer
in her Majesty's service, and a justice oi the peace for the island.
Well, would you believe it, that the " Times" newspaper positively
refused to publish it as an advertisement, al hough they had taken
the money for it, viz., 61. Does tLis fact not prove to you the sort
of back•stairs influence which the whole tribe of doctors have to
support their craft? Tne " Times" would not open their columns to
tell the wor d the truth in this great question. Oh ! eh I As for
ourselves we core not for that paper, relying as we do on the truth
ar.d honesty of our cause.
We now wish to call your attention to the Important question of
Quarantine, which James Morison, by his system, clearly proved to
be a perfect humbug, only kept up to give importance and power to
doctors, though at the expense or the lives and comfort of the public.
Now we would ask whether In this enlightened age this abomination
of quarantine is to be still kept up? Are the fortunes of the world to
be made subservient to the miserable guinea-trade of doctors ? We
are happy tosee that there are some doctors honest enough to admit
the real truth on this great question, in proof of which we cite Mr.
Moore on the Indian Villase Cholera, published in the "Medical
Gazette" of August 19th, 1850, wherein at page 229, be says—
" Past experience, sad and mournful though it be, ltas removed
every doubt upon the subject, that quarantine laws have proved a
gross delusion: they have proved inenectual ; totally inoperative as a
safeguard against the invasion of cholera.
" Quarantine laws, inoperative as a safegard against the outbreak
on shore of cholera, of typhus, of yellow fever, or of the plague,
have inflicted the greatest miseries on the unfortunate passengers
and crews, pent up in vessels, obliged to hoist the yellow flag. In
the destruction of human life on board quarantine laws have not
proved inoperative."
Truths like these were all insisted upon by lames Morison. Do
you not, therefore, see in his great system something more than
Morison's Pills ? Again, upon the question of lunacy, he clearly de-
monstrated that insanity was a disease of the blood. The doctors
are now admitting that it is so. Do you again see nothing in this
but Morison's Pills ? Again, upon the great point of temperance, he
showed that diseases were induced by spirituous liquors. Ito you see
nothing in this but Morison's Pills? Again, upon the questions
of the numerous poisonings effected by doctors' poisons, he
showed that so long as such poisons were medicinally given,
there could be no saying who had been feloniously or me-
dicinally murdered that, in short, poisons snd medicines
under doctors were synonymous. Do you see nothing in
all this but Morison's Pills? Go read his work, " The aloriso-
niana," published in 1825, and it after having read it you say that
you can see notning that interests mankind generally, we shall admit
ourselves to be gross:y mistaken. Remenber it was only by Mr.
Morison keeping the manufacture of his own medicine (Morison's
Pills) that the triumph of the Hygelan cause could have been esta-
blished I We declare to you, that truths the most important to,'
mankind, are revealed in that book, and that all persons, from the
highest to the lowest, should be as familiar with them as with
" Household Words !"
News has just arrived in this country that the cholera is raging in
Jamaica. Let us ask one question—Have medical men yet devised
any plan of treating this disease? Oh oh 1 is it not most disgrace-
ful that the public should be left in as much doubt as ever on the
treatment to be pursued? The Ilygelan Agent for Jamaica is Mrs.
Wheattall, Kingston, where Morison's Vegetable Universal Medicine
may be had.
We have observed that the Medical Department of the Aimiraltys
advises that eurgatise medicine should not be taken in cases of.
cholera. Hygeists have only to say from practical experience in
thousands of cases, that such advice 'is most improper; laudanum
and all other narcotics they consider as highly injuricus, which has
been proved by the mortality in this country under such treatment.

THE NEW SCALE OF PAY AND PROVISIONS.—We
are glad to find that the new regulations ditninishirg the
grog allowance, and consequently intoxication, in the
navy, and increasing the pay and provisions, and conse-
quently the comfort, of the seamen, which commenced on
the let of January, have been generally accepted and ap-
proved. We are well assured that the advantages of
this good measure will be more and more appreciated
as the seamen become accustomed to drink less rum,
and at the allotted period receive more money for their
services.

THE FLAG SHIP FOR THE WEST INDrze.—ln our
remarks on the Cumberland, 70, in speaking of the al-
terations of the ship, and the opposition of the ex-
surveyor to Mr. White's suggestion, the word " stern"
was erroneously printed for stem. We have stated that
the Cumberland is a much more powerful vessel than the
present flag-ship in the West Indies. The following are
the comparative armaments of the Cumberland, Wel-
lesley, and Winchester :

THE TRIAL OF THE FRIGATE SQUADRON.—
PHAETON AND ARETHUSA.
(From the Herald.)
One day last week we printed some extracts from a
puffing letter, sounding the praises of the ex-Surieyor's
50-gun frigate Arethusa, commanded by Captain Sy-
monds, and detracting from the merits of the Phaeton,
Captain Elliot, built by White, of Cowes. We then
stated that our experience of the reports of former trials
of the ex. Surveyor's ships led us to put no faith in any
of them, for they have always been of a description most
flittering to the "intuitive" vessels, and tending to mis-
lead the public.
We remember when Mr. White's Wuterwitch was
brought out as a rival to Sir W. Symond's Pantaloon,
the latter was cried up as a far superior vessel to the
former, although it was subsequently proved that the
Waterwitch almost invariably beat the Pantaloon.
Again Mr. White's 12• gun brig Daring was said to be
nowhere in the race with Sir William Symond's Flying
Fish, when those who knew better found out that the
Daring was always first in every weather. Again, when
the School of Naval ArchiteCture's 12-gun brig Espiegle
NBA tried with the Flying Fish, on their return. to port
letters ran through the Isle of Wight, claiming the advan-
tage for the Flying Fish, on board of which was Captain
Symonds himself, but when the official reports came out the
Espiegie was shown to have beaten the Flying Fihh
live times out of eight trials. Similar reports ire now
being circulated claiming credit and superiority for the
ex• Surveyor's ship Arethusa, which is an improved
Constance," which was an improved " Vernon,"
which was the " chef fl'ceuvre of naval architecture ;' but
here again Mr. White's production, according to his
explanation, which we have every reason to believe as a
correct one, gives us fair grounds for believing that tbo
reports of the Arethusa are of the old manutacturo.

BIRMINGHAM, JAN. 4.

STOCK EXCHANGX—Owing to the holidays comparatively
little business has been transacted during the past week.
The share maket has, however, recovered in a considerable
degree from the unexpected shock which it experienced on

the position from which they then receded. As a proof of
the buoyancy and elasticity of the share market, notwith-
standing the heavy blow and discouragement it recently re-
ceived, it may be mentioned that London and Iv orth-
Western Stock was sold to-day in Birmingham at 1251,¢.
The following were among the closing prices :—Birmingham,
Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley, buyers 10%. sellers 11—
Coventry and Nuneaton, sellers 2% p.—Midland, buyers

ACCIDENT AT THE GREAr NORTHERN
RAILWAY.

On Saturday afternoon, shortly after three o'clock,
an accident of an alarming character took place at
the terminus of the Great Northern Railway, by which
one unfortunate man has lost his lite, and three other
persons have been seriously injured.
The Great Northern Company, in addition to their
extensive coal depots at their temporary terminus in
Maiden-lane, are having constructed an immense
granary. This building is situate on the southern side
of the station, abutting on a spacious dock, con-
structed on the northern side of the Regent's Canal,
immediately facing the dock and works belonging to
the Imperial Gas Company. From this dock there
exists two cuttings or creeks, running into the
granary, for the purpose of enabling barges to run
into and receive the grain under cover of the building
itself, and to facilitate the loading and unloading of
goods. In this building a large number of workmen
in the employ of Mr. Jay, the contractor, were
at work in various departments, and in the creek on
the eastern side of the granary, into which the water
has alrecdy been admitted, were employed a number
of carpenters, sawyers, &c., the latter, it is stated,
working on a kind of floating sawpit.

At the time abovementioned some workmen were
employed in raising an iron girder to one of the
upper floorings by means of "sheers." This girder,
it is stated, is in weight from five to six tons, and the
men had raised it to the fourth story, when suddenly
one of the " sheer legs" broke, and the ponderous
mass fell with a frightful crash, crushing everything
in its progress downward to the creek described.
Some idea may be formed of the immense weight
which fell, when it is stated that two large logs of
timber placed across the creek as a protection to the
saw-pit were completely snapped asunder.
The frightful crash which the falling moss created
attracted the attention of every one within,
athend m any
creek
without the building, and on reaching
several poor fellows were seen floating about in the
muddy water below, clinging to the masses of floating
timber which had been carried into it. From the
upwards of a quarter of an
difficulty to get at them,
hour elapsed before any one could be rescued, and
when they were got out it was found by Mr.Thomp.
son, surgeon, of York-row, Maiden-lane, who was at
once sent for, that two of the men, named Green and
.Rolfe, were so seriously injured that immediate re-
were, without delay conveyed to the hospital on
move! to University College Hospital was necessary.
They
shutters,bwhere it was ascertained that Green had
ankles broken, while his companion had othhis
sus-
tained very dreadful internal injuries. A third was
conveyed to his own residence.
Some time having elapsed, it was deemed advisable
by the foreman of the works to call a muster of the
men, and a young man named James Kendal, a car-
penter, was found to be missing. Drags were pro-
duced, and after dragging for about en hour the bo4'
of the young man in question was found imbedded in
the mud, seal, on being got out, it was discovered he
had a frightful lacerated wound over the left eye and
temple ; and as the poor fellow Kendal was a carpen-
ter, and was known to have been working on one of
the upper floors of the granary, it is believed that he
must either have been standing on some of th., planks
whiCh the girder struck at the time it fell, or that the
girder itself must have struck him at the time of its
descent. The body was at once removed to the City
of York Tavern, where it awaits a coroner's inquest.

Kendal is unmarried, hat it is

Mr. J. G. Fitzgerald,
hope of Green recovering from the
severe injuries he has received. The upper dorsal
vertebra are fractured, as well as several of the ribs on
both sides, the small bone of the leg is broken; and
the foot dislocated. Rolfe's injuries are also very
serious, but they are internal, and cannot yet be as-
certained with accuracy.

COLLISION ON THE LONDON AND
NORTH- ESTERN RAILWAY.
A collision of a very serious character, by which
several first-class and other passengers have sustained
considerable injury, took piece on Saturday, on the
line of the London and North-Western, at the station
at Boxmoor. It appears that shortly before three
o'clock a goods train, in consequence of the defective
state of its engine, put into the Boxmoor station, and
remained there whilst the necessary repairs were being
effected. At this time the Liverpool express, which
ought to arrive at Euston-square at four o'clock, was
nearly due, and the stoppage signals were hoisted at
the station. Shortly after three o'clock the express
train hove in sight, and the driver, Newland, saw the
stopping signals up from eight hundred to a thou-
sand yards before reaching the station. The
express strain does not stop at Boxmcor, but on
seeing the signals, which were also seen by Murphy,
the guard, who was in the break carriage next to
the engine, it is stated that the driver immediately
shut off the steam and reversed the engine, whilst the
guard put down the breaks ; but as the train, when
the signals were first seen, was going at the rate of
about thirty-five miles an hour, it was impossible to
stop, and the express train came in collision with the
goods train whilst it was still going at a speed of
some eight or ten miles an hour. The driver and
stoker of the express train, seeing that a collision
was inevitable, and knowing that the steam was shut
off, jumped from the engine. The driver escaped
unhurt, or was, at least, but slightly injured ; but
the stoker, not having completely cleared the engine,
was found on the line, and was for some time sup-
posed to be dead, but stimulants having been applied,
he became better; but he has sustained some dreadful
lacerations and other injuries to the legs. The screams
and cries of the passengers at first led to a belief that
very serious consequences had resulted. Medical aid
was procured from the town with all the promptness
possible, and the greatest attention was paid to
the sufferers. It is stated that twelve or fourteen
persons were more or less hurt. One gentleman had
his right eye injured; a lady had some of her teeth
knocked out, another was severely cut about the face,
atd others received contusions about the head and
limbs, but no bones were fractured. it is a singular
circumstance, that although it is believed the express
train had still an impetus on it of eight or ten miles an
hour at the moment of the collision, the carriages
were but slightly damaged. Had it not been for the
greasy state of the rails, caused by the falling of a
shower of rain a short time previously, and which
prevented the breaks from biting, it is believed the
express train would have been stopped before reaching
the goods train at the station ; and as it was, it is be-
lieved that it was rather the weight of the carriages
behind that forced the train on than anything else.
No serious injury was done to the goods train, and
the passengers having been properly attended to, came
to town with the express train, which did not reach
Euston-grove till seven o'clock, or three hours after
time. A thorough investigation will take place.

DISCOVERY OF A DEN OF THIEVES.

Yesterday (Sunday) morning a most startling and
extraordinary discovery was made by police-sergeants
Harris and Jones, of the L or Lambeth division,
which was nothing less than a subterranean den of
thieves under the terminus of the London and South-
Western Railway, in the York-road, Lambeth, which
led to the capture of five of the delinquents. It ap-
peared that some time since a lad was apprehended
on suspicion of stealing some bread, and when he re-
turned home to his parents, from interrogations put to
him by his mother it turned out that he had become
connected with a gang, numbering about twenty or
twenty-two, who were known to each other as "the
twenty thieves." They obtained a living by prowling
about the New cut, Waterloo-road, and the terminus
of the railway, and stealing whatever they could lay
their hands upon. The lad also informed his mother
that on one occasion they cooked a leg of mutton in
their cave, which was under one of the arches of the
railway, that to get to it 4bey were forced to crawl
through a small hole in theThrickwork. W hen once
therein, they were perfectly free from ob3ervation,
and, from the precautions his companions had taken
it was impossible that their hiding-place could ever
be found out. Indeed, he could not find it himself,
unless he was taken to it by some of the others. The
mother, on finding the sort of company her child bad
fallen into, immediately repaired to the Tower-street
police-station' and informed Mr. Inspector Cowlan of
what her son had related to her. Tbat officer imme-
diately gave orders for a search to be made, with a
view of ascertaining whether there was any truth in
the lad's statement, and, if there was, to adopt mea-
sures to apprehend as many of the gang as might be
found. Accordingly, about two o'clock yesterday
morning, the two sergeants before alluded to set out
on their voyage of discovery. They examined all the
arches in Granby-street, but without finding any
trace of either the thieves or their cave. About
half-past three o'clock, however. whilst examin-
ing the arches nearest the vacant piece of
ground in the York-road, they perceived the marks
of footsteps which appeared to lead to a small hole,
more like what would be occasioned by the water
draining than the entrance to any sort of habitation.
The two sergeants were, however, determined not to
leave a stone unturned, but examine every place baring
the least mark of suspicion. Accordingly they de-
scended through this opening, when they found a den
filled up in the manner the lad had stated, and in it
five persons, two of whom were well-known thieves,
and there is no doubt hut the other three will be iden-
tified to-day as being equally notorious characters.
They were all apprehended and removed to the police-
station. The cave, which bad a portable fire-place
in it, was most ingeniously fitted up, having a cook-
ing apparatus and nearly everything necessary for
domestic use. A place to keep the victuals in was
sunk in the ground and secured from dirt by a lid
similar to the iron grating over the area coal vaults
usual in public streets. By fastening boards and
canvass up to the cave they succeeded in keeping out
the weather, whilst a quantity of straw served the
gang for a bed. how it was possible for any one to
live in the place seems incredible, for neither of the
officers were able to stand upright in the cave, and to
enter it they were obliged to force their way back-
warks, the opening being too small to admit of their
going in in the regular way. The ages of the par-
ties did not exceed, on the average, 15 or 16 years.

CRESCENT AND THE CROSS. BY ELIOT
WARBURTON. Eighth and Cheaper Edition, in 1 vol.—The
publication of this work in one volume, and its reduction in
price, will do much to bring it within the reach of the self-
educating people, which is the aim of both writer and pub-

printed and illustrated renders it worthy of the finest library
in the land. This is, perhaps, one of the most popular works
of travel of modern times. Many writers have given us their
impressions of the Holy Land, but there are few who have
given us a more graphic and engrossing account of these
scenes of sacred history than Mr. Warburton. He is an
ardent traveller and an acute observer, a diligent inquire

LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 6, 1851.

THE QUARTER'S REVENUE.
The Revenue Returns for the year and quarter, end-
ing the sth of January instant, will be found in
another part of this day's impression. They do not af-
ford any great cause for congratulation, or the reverse.
For while, on the one hand, they
(I:, not fulfil the
sanguine anticipations that had been indulged in as
to the financial condition of the country, and the sur-
plus which it was supposed would remain at the dia.
posal of the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
they do not, on the other, exhibit any great
deficiencies which cannot be accounted for by
the fiscal changes that have occurred during the
last twelve months. The Customs, Excise, and
Stamps have been, to a certain extent, affected by
these alterations, which has led to a falling off in the
ordinary revenue of the country ; but, as we have
already stated, not to a greater extent than can
be fairly accounted for.
The diminution of the ordinary revenue for the
year is 126,0891. ; as, ha, xever, the extraordinary
branches have been more than usually productive, we
find that there is an actual increase of receipts, on
the same period, f.f 16.4,922/. On ti,e quarter
the deficiency, under the permanent heads,
exceeds by a few hundred pounds the falling off on
the year—it being 126,794/. The increase in the
extraordinary branches for the same period, although
not sufficient to chinga this deficiency into a surplus,
yet reduce its amount to 109,428/.

On looking more closely into the variott% items of
which the amount is composed, we find that in the
Customs there is a falling off on the year and quarter
—on the former of 80,9181., and on the latter of
123,925/.; the reduction of duty on "the corn
of the tropics" which cline into operation last July,

must not, however, be forgotten, and this will go far
to account for the reduced returns from this quarter. t

In the Excise, where the greatest reduction of
taxation took place, by the total abolition of the brick
duties, the returns are of the most satisfactory cha-
racter. Although the extinguished impost produced
nearly half a million sterling per annum, we still find
improvements on the year and quarter, and those of no
inconsiderable amounts—the former being 250,1461.,
the latter 90,8591. This is, perhaps, of all others the most
important branch of the national resource to have in
a flourishing condition. It indicates the degree of
comfort enjoyed by the labouring population of the
country ; it is the barometer which shows the amount
of wages received for labour, and consequently the
amount of production that has taken place. Its satis-
factory appearance would be a sufficient equivalent
for the falling off in other respects, and affords real
cause for congratulation ; for we may feel assured
that when the working classes are well off,
that the remainder of the community will be in
a state of comparative prosperity. The welfare of
the nation is based on that of the numerous body
who earn their daily bread by the sweat of their
brow. They are the base of the great pyramid that
represents the state of society, and the stability of
the whole superstructure depends on the strength of
the foundation. A portion of the improvement may
be ascribed to the collection of the arrears cf hop-
duty, the Board of Inland Revenue having recently
" put the screw" upon the planters, by issuing Ex-
chequer processes against many of that much ag-
grieved body, but notwithstanding the sums so realized,
there remains sufficient to show us how thankful we
should be for the improvement under this item of
the national balance-sheet.
In the Stamps there has, of course, been a falling
off—on the year of 269,8341., and on the quarter of
50,1391. The recent alteration of duties was quite
sufficient to explain these deficiencies. We had hoped
that, owing to the demand for the new denomina-
tions of stamps, the return for the quarter might
have been something better. We do not, how-
ever, despair of finding that, before the
termination of the year, the more equitable
arrangement of these imposts will produce a more
favourable result than was anticipated by the Chan.
cellor of the Exchequer, who anticipated the loss of
300,0001. per annum in consequence thereof.

In the Assessed Taxes there is an increase of 66,329/.
on the year, and of 25,292/. on the quarter. This
is the branch of revenue in which there is usually the
least variation, and any increase or deficiency is ge-
nerally ascribable to the stringency with which pay-
ment is enforced from the debtors to the
Exchequer. An increasing population must, however,
require a corresponding addition of house-room. The
builders do not remain idle, and, therefore, there
must be a regular addition to this source of revenue ;
we trust, however, that the abolition of the tax on
light and air during the approaching session will en-
able us to announce a large falling off under this
head for the quarter ending the sth of January, 1852.
The Property-tax returns, we regret to say, 'are
calculated to qualify our feelings of satisfaction. There
is a falling off on the year of 25,122/. ; and on the
quarter of 30,6641. This latter would represent a
reduction in the incomes or profits of the middle
classes of society, for it is in them that the variations
are chiefly to be sought for—equivalent to more than
4,000,0001. sterling per annum. That tax will expire
on the sth of April. It must, however, be renewed
in some shape ; but not, we trust, without very con-
siderable modifications, so as to render the apportion-
ment more Equitable and less oppressive than it is at
present.

In the Post-office there is an increase on the year
of 14,0001., but there is no change on the quarter.
The Crown Lands are, strange to say, exactly the
same on both year and quarter, but in the Miscel-
laneous we find a decrease on the former of 70,6901.,
and on the latter of 38,017. The Imprest and other
Monies show an increase of 131,9901., and of 7,1591.
on the quarter ; while under the head of the Repay-
ments of Advances there is an addition of 159,021/. on
the year, and 10,2071. on the quarter. On the whole it
will appear that there is no great cause either for
rejoicing or lamenting, but that the state of the
nation has nearly remained in statu quo, the condi-
tion of the less wealthy classes being something im-
proved, and that of the middle classes something (It.-
teriorated within the departed year 1450.

Gaiety is once more restored to Greece. The
dance and the song are again audible in the sakes
of Athens. And these are the happy consequences of
that Palmerstonian policy which has been so long
and rancorously vilified. From a paragraph pub-
lished elsewhere, in our impression of this evening,
and extracted from a fantastic periodical of Attica, it
will be observed that in lieu of the sinister estrange-
ment hitherto observable among the resident diploma -
tists of Christendom, a feeling of genuine accord
has latterly sprung up between the various classes
of the Athenian capital, and especially between
the Ambassadors accredited to the Athenian
SOVEREIGN. This is all highly satisfactory. It is
pleasant to know that the nymph of the agile foot has
descended once more from Parnassus to the violet
crowned city of the Acropolis—to learn that Terpsi-
chore has joined hands with her sister Euterpe in cele-
brating the success of British intervention. Such is
literally the gist of the announcement given elsewhere
as translated from the columns of a Greek newspaper.
Compared with the "balls" threatened by the ma-
ritime forces of lingland a few months since, the
"balls' given by the representatives of British diplo-
macy now-a- days must surely be allowed to present a
very agreeable contrast. The " great guns" intro-
duced to the notice of the Athenian multitude for-
merly, by Sir WILLIAM PARKER, have been fortu -
nately replaced by "great guns" of a difierent
description, introduced to the higher circles of Athe-
nian life by Mr. Wyse. The warm greeting promised
to the Grecian people at one period by the English
Admiral has been luckily superseded by the warmer
reception given to the heads of the nation by the
English Ambassador. And all this is attributable to
—what ? To the Earl of ABERDEEN ? To my Lord
STANLEY ? To the flaming and foaming an -
tagonists of her MAJESTY'S Foreign Secretary ?
As well might we attribute the rise in
railway stock to M. POITEVIN ! Or the scheme of
the great Exhibition to the Hippopotamus ! The
fact—most unwelcome of all facts in the world to the
little clique of intriguers who were baulked last ass-
sion by the gallant motion of Mr. Roerauck—is ra-
ther disagreeably transparent—disagreeably, we
mean, as far as the miserable pack are concerned who
have been again and again ineffectually hounded on
against the most patriotic and distinguished of Eng-
lish statesmen. To Lord PALMERSTON—the fire-
eater of Britannia, the firebrand of Europe, the
political emulator of HELENA, who is reputed by
poets to have " set the world in arms,"—to
Lord PALMERSTON—the organiser of revolutions, the
instigator of insurrection, the secret ally of rebels and
incendiaries—are attributable all these gala days of
the Athenians, these balls and reunions, these feasts
and masquerades. Little might one have imagined
that such would be the topics selected for celebration
by Athenian journalists in the winter of 1850, if the
future had been conjectured from the prophecies of
-Ihe anti-Palmerstonians. From the gloomy prospects
foretold in that quarter it might have been thougl.t
that the city must by this time have been in ashes,
the Pinions a scene of wide-spreading devastation,
the Parthenon possibly
levelled with the very ground
it dignifies, and
the remnants of that great metro-
polis once presided over by the cultivated genius of
p
ERICLES, and animated by the sensuous intellect
of ASPASIA, overgrown with darnals and grass, or
given over to the savage brutes
c f the wilderness. Yet

thanks to Lord PALMERSTON. Thanks to that
bold and resolute policy which, while it be •
came the dignity of this great empire, be-
came also equally well its position as the
arbiter of the peace of Christendom. From
the course pursued on the occasion of the Greek
misunderstanding, it has been again proclaimed that

England is not to be paltered with by every trick-

ster in office, by every scribbler who can date
his lampoon from a ministerial residence, by every
speculative statesman who chooses to subordi-
nate the interests and the fame of his ccuntry
to the chances of his own paltry stock-
exchange combinations. From the length of time
which has elapsed since the claims of England upon
the Grecian Government had been disregarded, it be-
came evident that some such renewed assurance as
the one we have just particularized was to a great
extent desirable, and the good results of its
utterance by the lips of Lord PALMERSTON are as-
suredly by this time sufficiently apparent. In proof
of this, we need point not alone to the lively aspect of
Athenian society, now that the political atmosphere has
been cleared by the lightnings of English indignation,
but equally well might we direct attention to the
friendly relations re-established between this country
and the principal powers of the European continent.
Another illustration is hereby afforded of the accu-
racy of the charges so often directed against Lord
PALMERSTON—that his policy is destructive of the
interests of peace, injurious to commerce, and detri-
mental also to the advancement of civilization. After
passing through two or three years of almost unex
ampled political excitement, and maintaining, in
spite of this, a cordial interchange of diplo-
matic relations with all the chief Govern-
ments of Christendom, it does appear, in
truth, somewhat ridiculous to hearken to the
parroting of the old Aberdeen-cry, that Lord PAL-
MERSTON is a dangerous statesman, and that his
policy is baneful to the cause of humanity as well
as to the vigour and stability of the British empire.
Away, then, with these preposterous calumnies and
vituperations—away with them as tokens at once of
monstrous injustice and unconscionable ingratitude.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

RESIGNATION OF THE FRENCH
MINISTRY.

We have received the Paris journals of Saturday
and yesterday.
The French Ministry on Saturday tendered their
resignation to the PRESIDENT of the Republic, being
moved thereto by two events which occurred in the
Assembly on Friday. The first was the result of the
interpellations addressed to the Minister of War by
M. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE on the subject of the
order alleged to have been issued to the garrison of
Paris by General CRANGARNIER, which order, or
pretended order, appeared in the Pattie, the known
organ of the Elysee, and supposed to be personally
under the control of the PRESIDENT ; an account of the
discussion on this subject appeared in our Third
Edition of Saturday. The Minister-at-War, it will
be seen, desired that the matter should be postponed,
but in expressing the desire insinuated that such in-
structions had been issued, and gave it to be plainly
understood that CHANGARNIER was to expect no aid
from the Ministry; the postponement, however, was
refused, CRANGARNIER himself voting against it, and
then CRANGARNIER utterly denied the truth of the
statement which bad appeared in the Patrie, and
which had been just before endorsed as it were
by the Minister of War ; and on his denial the
Assembly voted the order of the day, thus
giving him the victory over the Ministers,
On the same day the election for Chairmen of Com.
mi.tees for the ensuing quarter took place, when
those Questors who had supported M. YoN against
MM. BARocuE and CARLIER, were all elected
chairmen of Committees, as was General LEFLO who
had personally insulted the PRESIDENT of the Repub-
lic by quitting the Elysie at the commencement of
the New Year's Day snubbing and before M. Boetie •
PARTE had finished his speech. These events induced
the Ministry to tender their resignation. The fol-
lowing appears as the premier Paris of the Pattie of
Sunday :—"Yesterday at noon the Ministers assembled
in Council in the Cabinet of the PRESIDENT of the
Republic. We believe that we may venture to affirm
that the subject of deliberation was the incident which
terminated the sitting of Friday. However that
may be, on the breaking up of the Council all the
members of the Cabinet tendered their resignations,
which were, it is said, accepted. A. great agitation
reigned in the Assembly ; the greater number of the
Representatives both in the lobbies and in the Hall of
Conference were engaged in most animated conversa-
tions and made the most opposite conjectures. Many
lists have been circulated, but as none of them have
a character of authenticity we abstain from mention-
ing them."
It is said that the PRESIDENT sent for M. ABA-
TUCCI, and applied to him to form a Ministry, and
that he recommended that overtures should be made
to M. ODILON BARROT, but it is said that he has re-
fused to enter the Ministry without M. DUFAURE.
Another rumour is that M. LEON FAUCHER has
been commissioned to form a new Ministry, and that
he has made it a condition of accepting office that
stringent measures should be adopted against the
Legitimatists.

The Paine of Sunday denies the truth of General
CHANGARNIER'S statement to the Assembly on
Friday, and publishes in extenso the document
to which it referred, which contains the passages
which it had quoted. In allusion to this docu-
ment it says in a postscript—" Just as we were
going to press we received the authorisation to pub-
lish the entire text of the general and permanent in-
struction which was the object of the incident which
occurred in the sitting of Friday." This instruction
is signed by the General of Brigade REIMELL.
It is said that the PRESIDENT of the Republic was
exceedingly anxious to dismiss General CHANGAR.
NIER on Friday evening, but that the Ministers told
him it was then too late.

The Ordre (the organ of the Odilon•Barrot party)
declares that it believes the resignation of the Minis-
ters is a mere make-believe.
