THE WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE
EDWARD HOLLEST, -of Frimley, Surrey—Frimley, Bag-
shot, December 4, 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 HOLIEST,
who for a period of 18 years, in an exemplary manner, performed
the duties of his church, and was distinguished by his benevolence
and charity in the wide district 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 means of making a provision
for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case
of Mrs. Holle,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 fearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of
Mrs. Holiest d,-es not exceed 401. per annum, and subscriptions arc
earnestly solicited in aid of these inadequate means. Subscriptions
will he thank fully 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., I, Cavendish-
square; Messrs. Mangles Brothers, Guildford; Messrs. Stevens
and Mandy, Reading; also by the following members of the Com-
mittee :
It. R. Bayley, Esq., Mitchett, Frimley, Bagshot.
J. F. Burrell, E,q., Manor House, Frimley.
Rev. J. 11. Clayton, Farnborough, Bagshot.

fir Waiter Farquhar, Bart., Farnborough-place, Bagshot.
Thomas Longman, Esq., Farnborough-hill, Bagshot.
Captain Caarles Edward Mangles, Poyle-park, Farnham, Surrey.
The Commit'ee have the sAtistactian to state that her Majesty the
Queen, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Bishop of Winchester,
have sanctioned their exertions by very liberal donations.

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive gans. It un-
:ortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely 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 the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where
medical honours, as his
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA 'll/EliT has taken the highest

" The public press have already overwhelmed both author and
publisher-with complimentary notices of this great and splendid qua-
drille, leaving us scarcely a word to put in edgeways. However,
possessing unlimited talent, as the author Herr Labitzky really does,
we feel bound to say that the quadrille will not be surpassed, if
equalled, for some time ; but in the mean time we imagine the
Quadrilles of all Nations' will go hand in hand with the famous
' Lancers.' "—Vide Blackwood's Lady's Magazine.

And both are on an equal footing—aint we ?
You're mode the Laureate—so the papers tell us—
And reilly, Alf, I can't help feeling jealous.
It plagues me much, in fact, and I have fretted
Since first your said promotion was gazetted.
For this appointment I've been long a craver,
Although I know that " kissing goes by favour."
But you're " appointed," I am " disappointed,"
And feel my nasal organ quite unjointed.
Yet never mind—no matter who opposes,
Or who supports—l'm still the bard of MOSES;
Yes, I'm the trading Laureate of the day,
And, pardon me, that's more than you can say.
While you are busy with your birth-day odes,
I'll sing of dress and MOSES' matchless =idea.
I still will praise the cloth of M. and SON,
In spite of your " Green Bays"—excuse the pun.
I feel I'm honoured when I strike the lyre
For MOSES' Mart, and its superb attire ;
Nor would I cease to be the bard of MOSES
For all your task of penning palace posies.
Bert should I get the sack, as some scribes do,
MOSES, I hope, will give the berth to you.

notice any blank in the instrument. Ile was about 20
minutes in the room, and the document was there during
all that time, though part of the time it was folded up.
The prisoner accompanied them to the garden-door, and
the document was left in the room with Mrs. Blaekhurst.
There was wino on the table; but his wife said to the
prisoner " You had better not take any wine, Henry, as
you know it gets into your head, and you have another
will t make to-day."

On re-examination he said the prisoner folded up the
document after it was signed and witnessed. The whole
of it was in his. handwriting.
The (lc cutneht, which was then read, was as follows:
" This is another codicil to the last will and testament
of me, Catherine Blackhurst, of Fishwick, in the county
of Lancaster, wife of Henry Blackhurst, of the same
place', gentleman, by virtue of the powers given me.
Whereas I have given the weekly BUM of 10s. payable to
Matilda Blackhurst, and the sum of 401. a year to my
only sister, Emily Webster, both cf the above bequests
I hereby revoke and make void, and in lieu of the
bequest to my-sister I hereby give and bequeath to her
30/. a year only. I also give and bequeath to Mary,
wife of John Thompson, of Walton-le•Dale, auctioneer,
otherwise called Susannah, the weekly sum of 10s., pay-
able at the death of my husband to her only, and her
receipt only to be a discharge for the same, and not to be
subject to the debts, control; or engagements of her pre-
sent or any future husband she may hereafter marry.
" And, lastly, I give, devise, and bequeath all my real
and personal estate and effects to my husband, his heirs
and assigns, for ever absolutely.'
" And I nominate, constitute, and appoint Edward
Pedder, of Clifton, in the said county, Esq., and
Lawrence Spencer, of Preston, surgeon, executors to
this my codicil to my last will. In witness whereof I
have to this my last codicil set my hand this 3d day of
June, 1850. " CATHERINE BLACKHURST.
. . _ .

" Signed by the said Catherine Blackhurst, and
published by (her) in our presence, and in the
presence of each other present at the same
time, as a codicil to her will.
"ROBERT Ascaovr, Attorney, Preston,
" THOMAS AMBLER, Attorney's Clerk, Preston."
[The words separately quoted in the first paragraph
are the words charged to have been surreptitiously in-
troduced by the prisoner.]
In answer to a question which Mr. Sergeant WiLxiss,
by permission of the Court, here put to him,
The witness said that the prisoner appeared to be
very much under his wife's control and influence, and
that he never saw any intimidation used towards her by
the prisoner.
Mary Thompson was then called, and proved that she
was in the habit of conversing with Mrs. Blackhurst
about her affairs, and often attended her in illness. She
remembered them going to Lisbon-hall in April or May
of the present year. Mrs. Blackhurst gave her a sealed
packet, containing her will, and some directions con-
cerning it.
On being asked what those directions were,

Mr. Sergeant WILKINS objected to the question, and
His LORDSHIP, after consulting with Mr. Baron Al-
derson, decided that the directions given at the same
time with the document were admissible in evidence,
but the general declarations of the deceased respecting
her intentions were not.

Mrs. Thompson then said Mrs. Blackhurst told her
to take care of it, and keep it secret even from her own
husband. She said it was a copy of her will, and she
was to deliver it to Mr. Pedder, of the bank, at her
death. She put the document away, and gave
it after her death as desired, to that gentle.
man in the same state as it was when she received it.
The witness did not know of Mrs. Blackhurst's last
illness. She remembered Mr. Noble and his clerk
coming to Lisbon-ball in the latter end of May or June.
He remembered also Mr. Ascroft coming their daily in
June, after which she got another parcel from Mrs.
Blackhurst. On this occasion she told her to take care
of it, as it was a codicil to her will, and the last she
would make, and that she was to give it to Mr. Pedder,
which she did on the following day. Mr. and Mrs.
Blackhurst immediately afterwards went to Buxton.
Mrs. Blackhurst was in the habit of wearing spectacles.
She could not read at that time.
On cross-examination she said she did not know
whether she was any relation to Mrs. Blackhurst.
Mr. Edward Pedder, banker, Preston, knew the late
Mrs. Blackhurst;:was accustomed to honour her cheques.
Attended her funeral on Saturday, the 3d of August.
Atter the funeral he returned to Lisbon-hall, and pro-
duced some documents, among others a sealed packet,
addressed by the prisoner, also another packet, which
be received from the last witness. He delivered them
to Mr. Noble in the prisoner's presence. The document
in the sealed packet alluded to was the codicil of the
3d of June.

Mary Ann Miller, of Glasgow—Was in Preston with
her daughter early in the present year, and was intro-
duced to Mr. and .11rs. Blackhurst. She saw
Mrs. Blackhurst ten days before her death, and
at her request her daughter put a name down
on paper, and Mrs. Blackhurst gave witness a message
which she was to convey to the Lord Provost of Glas-
gow. This message she delivered to Mr. Forbes, the
town clerk of Glasgow. The message was that at her
death the authorities of that city were to correspond
with Mr. Noble, solicitor, of Preston.
William Brierly, stonemason—Knew Mr. and Mrs.
Blackhurst. Was at one time tenant under them. Re-
membered them going to Lisbon. hall. Shortly before
this ho had some conversation with the prisoner. Ile
asked him what was the reason of his leaving Blackrock ;
and he said his wife had told him if he would do so that
she would leave him the whole of her property for his
life, and that his children had not behaved so very well
that he could desire it any longer. A little after their
return from Buxton the prisoner told him that his wife
had done what she promised.
Mr. Arthur Forbes, one of the town clerks of Glas-
gow, proved the names of the Lord Provost and baillies
of the city of Glasgow at the time of the execution of
the codicil in question.
This closed the case for the prosecution, upon which
Mr. Sergeant WiLuNs addressed the jury for the
prisoner. He remarked upon the length of time (25
years) during which the prisoner bad been married to
his wife, to whom could she more properly have left her
property? She appeared to have been a woman greatly
deficient in decision, as the jnry might judge from the
number of wills she had made; but when the time of
her death was approaching—that time when duty begins
to be written by fingers that are infallible and in cha-
racters that cannot be mistaken—what more proper dis-

been the case. The jury were sworn to give their ver-
dict, not according to what they might suspect or guess
might be possible, but according to the evidence. They
must not allow any prejudice in the case to violate the
integrity of the jury box. The very instrument itself
had not been impeached, and the witness who had been
called and who bad attested it could not say on oath that
the words were not there when he put his name to it.
The Learned Sergeant concluded by asking the jury if
there was ono among them who could without any doubt
say before God that the man was guilty. If there was,
he dare not tell that man to violate his conscience and
say otherwise, but if there was the least doubt in their
minds, he called upon them to exercise their glorious
privilege of gladdening the heart of a fellow man, and to
set his client at liberty.
Mr. Justice TALFOURD then summed up the evidence,
and the jury retired to consider their verdict.- After they
bad been absent about half an hour, in consequence of
an observation addressed to his Lordship by Mr. Ser-
geant Wilkins,

The Learned JUDGE sent for the jury into court, and
told them that they must be satisfied that the words
alleged to have been interpolated in the codicil were not
in that document at the time of its signature before they
could convict the prisoner of forgery.
The jury again retired, and after a considerable ab-
sence returned into court with a verdict of Not Guilty.
There was a slight applause in the court, which was
instantly suppressed.

soner, and asked him where he was going, and not being
satisfied with his answers, he took him into custody on
suspicion of stealing the mare. The superintendent of
the Doncaster police thereupon advertised the mare in
the county papers, and this led to the prosecutor identi-
fying and recovering his property. The prisoner, it ap-
peared, had recently been discharged from the service of
the prosecutor, and had been seen loitering about the
prosecutor's house the day before the robbery.
His LORIX,'IIIP having summed up,
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sen-
tenced to be transported for ten y 4
(Before Mr. Baron MARTIN.)
Benjamin ,Smith and Henry Wood were charged aHa
assaithing and robbing David Stafford, on the Bth of Dc-
ceirpr, 1849, and stcating from him a silver watch tad
gold watch-guard.
Mr. Hardy and Mr. Wood prosecuted, and Mr. Price
defended the prisoner.
It appeared that the prosecutor lived at Huddersfield
at the time of the robbery, and was an attorne)'s clerk.
Whilst returning home on the evening of the Bth of De-
cember from liirkheuton, he was attacked at a place
called Coekell's-fields by three men, thrown down, and
his pockets rifled of his watch and other articles. The
men then made off; the prosecuior not being able to
identify them. Subsequently a convict in York Castle,
named Swift, who was under sentence of transportation
for another offence, made a communication to the gover-
nor, implicating a person named John Wood, now under
sentence of transportation for life for another offence,
and the two prisoners, to the effect that he, Wood, and
the two prisoners were drinking together at the Unicorn
Inn, at Huddersfield, on the Bth of December, 1849,
when they agreed to go out and obtain some money by
robbery. They proceeded to a place called Cockell's-
fields, across which is a footpath, and there they at-
tempted to seize a man who came up, but he ran away,
crying out " Good night." Wood then got a hedge stake,
and swore he would knock down the next man that came
up. Soon after the prosecutor passed them, and they
knocked him down and robbed him, and afterwards di-
vided the spoil in a shed.at the Tandem Inn. In corrobora-
tion of Swift's story twomen were called,who stated that
they had seen Swiftin Cockell's-fields on the night in ques-
tion, along with some other men. A witness named
Aaron Sykes also stated that on the night in question, as
he was returning home through Cockell's-fields to Hud-
dersfield, four men sprang upon him out of a hedge. He
succeeded in escaping from them, and cried out " Good
night;" and although he would not positively swear to
them, he believed the two prisoners were two of the men
who had attacked him.

The Learned COUNSEL for the defence contended that
the whole case depended upon the evidence of an ac-
complice according to his own testimony, and who had
very likely concocted the story to obtain his liberation
from the sentence he was undergoing.
His LORDSHIP having summed up,
The jury found the prisoners Not Guilty.
John Chatfield and William Holmes were indicted for
having, on the 16th of July last, at Sheffield, assaulted
and robbed one William Parker of his watch.

Mr. Campbell Foster prosecuted, and Mr. Shepherd
defended the prisoners.
It appeared that the prosecutor, who is a steel refiner,
about ten o'clock on the evening of the 16th of July last,
went into the Spread Eagle Tavern, in Far-street, Shef-
field, where he remained drinking beer until half-past
twelve o'clock. Whilst there the two prisoners came in
and sat drinking together. Just before he left the pro-
secutor pulled out his watch to see what time it was, and
the prisoners then left together. The prosecutor was
sober when he left. On going home through Eligh-
►treet, Sheffield, he passed the two prisoners, whom he
recognised, when Chatfield seized hold of his watch-
guard and pulled his watch out of his pocket, at the
same time striking him a violent blow on the face which
knocked him down. The prisoners then made off. The
prosecutor called out " Watch," but seeing no one, he
went home, and there discovering that he had lost his
watch, he immediately gave information at the police-
office, and the prisoners were both afterwards appre-
hended. They acknowledged that Chatfield had struck
the prosecutor, but denied all knowledge of the watch.
The watch was nut afterwards found.

For the defence it was admitted that the assault had
been committed, but it was denied that there was any
evidence of the felony; and it was suggested that a
scuffle had ensued between the prosecutor and the pri-
soners, in the course of which the prosecutor was
knocked down and the lost watch.

His LORDSHIP having summed up,
The jury found Chatfield Guilty of a common assault
and Acquitted Holmes.

T'ne prisoners having been in gaol siree last July,
His LORDSHIP sentenced Chatfield to be imprisoned
one week.

to Ireland. She sailed after coaling.
The Tiger new steam-frigate came into harbour
this morning from Chatham, in charge of Mr. Belam
and a navigating party from the flag-ship Ocean at
Sheerness. She brought round about eighty super-
numeraries.

WooLwicu, DEC. 13.--The Locust steam. vessel,
Lieutenant-Commander Roger L. Curtis, will be

taken out of the basin to-morrow, and leaie about 9
o'cleek A.M. for Greenhithe to have her compasses ad-
justed by captain Johnson, and then proceed on her
voyage to the Brazils, where she is to be employed in
the suppression of the slave trade. The Locust, when
made ready for sea, had twelve ninths' provisions
and stores on board, but owing to her great immer •
sion with that quantity, she has been lightened by
taking out six months' provisions and landing two of
her carronades.

INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS.
On Tuesday, the 10th inst., the discussion on Mr.
Struve's paper, en " The Ventilation of Colleries,
theoretically and practically considered," was con-
tinued throughout the evening ; William Cubitt, Esq.,
President, in the chair.

The steam jet, in its application to the upcast shaft,
was again considered ; it was argued, that like the
furnace, it did not produce any pulsation in the cur-
rent of air which was so very wasteful of the power
for giving motion to all means of mechanical venti-
lation, and, therefore, that by the accepted laws of
physics, the steam jet setting in motion a body of air
which continued to flow without intermission through
the galleries and the upcast shaft, subject only to the
deducting for the pressure of the atmosphere, and the
friction of the column of air on the surface over
which it passed. It was shown that, to obtain the
full and effective action of the steam jet, precautions
must be adopted in bringing it down a certain dis-
tance, so that the jet should act conically, and a vari-
ation of the distance between the jet and the extre-
mity, or apex of the inverted cone, would produce a
corresponding variation in the degree of rarefaction.
The jet was stated to act equally efficiently either at
the top or the bottom of the shaft, although it was
admitted to be more costly in the former situation.
Its application to the Ebbw Vale Collieries was as-
serted to be very effective, and as only the surplus
steam was employed, it was in that instance the most
economical system that could be used.
On the other hand it was contended, that in me-
chanical ventilation the pulsation of the air was only
perceived where the valves were heavy, or were of
contracted area ; that, practically it was more to be
relied on than any other system, and that the safety
afforded by it was superior to the furnace, or the
steam-jet, as under circumstances of danger, or after
an explosion, it could be brought into immediate ac-
tion, with increased energy, to meet the emergency
and be the means of saving human life.
In summing up the discussion, the evidence given
before the House of Lords in 184 D was again minutely
analysed, with the view of showing, that the deduc-
tions previously drawn were not correct, inasmuch as
the results obtained were owing to temperature, and
not to the exhaustion created by the steam-jet. The
published opinion of M. Combes—" that the useful
effect of the steam employed to produce the motion of
the air, by projecting it into a tube, is in an cases
much below what it is capable of producing when
applied to a steam-engine working mechanical venti-
lators of the most imperfect description," was quoted
in support of these views.
It was considered that a current of air in the up-.
cast shaft of at least eighteen feet per second was
most desirable, to produce which a motive column of
air of 137 feet would be requisite, and this could not
be attained where ventilation by means of a furnace,
or of a steam-jet at the bottom of a pit was used,
without raising the temperature to such a degree as
would be impracticable in bratticed shafts, or in shafts
used for winding coals, or for the passage of men. Lt
was then shown, that the steam-jet applied at the top
cf the upcast shaft, and acting merely by rarefaction,
would be too costly for general adoption ; whereas, if
the combined area of the pumps of Struve's Mine
Ventilator was sufficiently large to equal the aggre-
gate amount of the splittings of the collery, it would
only require one-sixth of one-horse power for every
superfical foot of the upcast shaft. It was shown that
no pulsation in the current of air was perceptible in
the liaglebush Colliery (where Struvi's Mine Ven-
tilator had been in use for nearly two years) at a
greater distance than 100 yards from the machine,
and could not, therefore, extend prejudicially into the
workings. It was mentioned that two other machines,
similar to those in use at the Eaglebusb Colliery,
were in progess of construction for two collieries 1.11
the neighbourhood of Swansea.
M. Leteret, an eminent mining engineer, had as-
serted that no similar machine to Mr. Struve's had
ever been used in Belgium, and that he thought it,
both for utility and economy, superior to any me-
chanical ventilation which had yet been introduced.
At the close of the regular business, Mr. Becker'
exhibited and described a self•actieg siding-stop,
which was now in use on the Great Western Rail.
way. A portion of the ordinary rail was cut so as to
admit of the movement of the stop, which was of
iron about 11 inches thick, and projected above the
rail about nine inches ; this was attached to one end
of a shaft, and on the other end there was a bent lever
which carried a signal-disc above, and a counterba-
lance weight below. The object of this simple and
inexpensive machine was to remove the liability to
accidents from carriages, or trucks running oat of a
siding on the main line, as occurred some time 51110.
at Wootton Basset; for whilst it permitted a train of
waggons to pass into the siding, the wheels them-
selves depressing the stop, it presented an absolute bar
to any waggon leaving the siding, unless some per-
son held down the lever so as to lower and remove
the impediment.
It was announced that the annual general meeting
would be held on Tuesday, December 17, when the
annual report would be read, and the ballot for the
president, vice-presidents, and other members of the
council, would take place.

RAILWAY ALTERATION.—Some of the directors of
the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway at-
, tended at Lincoln on Tuesday to treat for the purchase of a
piece of land on the south side of the Holmes, it being the
intention of the company to construct a branch line for the
purpose of connecting the Midland with the Great Northern
line near the Holmes. This arrangement will enable the
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Company to run
their trains direct into the Midland station at Lincoln, and
afford them a direct run from Sheffield to Hull, without
using the Lincoln station of the Great Northern Corepany,
if
they choose to adopt such a step.—Nottingliarri Journal.
