THE WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE
EDWARD HOLLEST, of Frimley, Surrey —Fernley, Bag-
shut, December 4, 1350.—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 p,riod of 15 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. holies will commend itself to the generous consideration
of those who are blessed with the means of alleviating, so far as
human sympathy and assis.ance can alleviate, the distress of a
fatnily so fearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of
Mrs. Holiest does not exc'ed 401. per annum, and subscriptions are
earnestly solicited in aid of these inadequate means. Subscriptions
will be thank fully received by the foll.,wlng bankers:—Messrs.
Berries, Farquhar, and Co.; Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co.;
Messrs. Barclay, Tritten, 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

" The sickness among the 59th Regiment continues
I to abate, still the men generally are in a very debi-
litated state, and deaths occasionally occur. Since
May to the present time 109 have died.
"Rear-Admiral Austin, Commander-in-Chief in
the East, arrived here in her Majesty's ship Hastings
on the 10th inst.
"By an express this morning from Macao we learn
that a fearful and melancholy occurrence took place
there yesterday, the 29th inst. It was the anniver-
sary of the birth of the Consort of the Queen of Por-
tugal. The Portuguese frigate the Donna Maria
fired the usual salute at noon. The captain and all
the officers but two were on board, and it is said some
officers from the United States ship Marion, all of
hom were to have dined at 3 o'clock on board the
Portuguese frigate. About half-past 2 o'clock the
latter vessel blew up, and officers and men, about 200
in number, perished, with the exception of one officer
and 15 men, picked out of the water by the boats of
the Marion. We have not heard whether this vessel
has sustained injury. A fatality seems to attend all
matters connected with Macao
" Our latest accounts from Canton mention that
the force sent by Government against the rebels bad
been defeated, and that one or two mandarins had been
killed.
" It is difficult to conjecture what the issue of the
present state of things will be ; in the meantime it
causes great interruption to trade. In one of the pro-
vinces an edict against Christianity has been issued by
the Prefect. It pronounces Christianity to be illegal,
incredible, and absurd.
" Our dates from Shanghai are to the 18th of
October.
" No political news is advised.
"In tea the transactions have been considerable
both in Canton and at Shanghai. At the former
place 115 chops Congou settled at very full prices ;
at the latter large transactions had taken place both in
black and green for the American market. The total
export from China to date is 24,000,0001 b., nearly the
same as last year. This includes an excess in the ex-
port of green of nearly 700,0001 b.
" There have been considerable transactions in silk,
at former rates. The export from China to date is
about 8,000 bales, against 3,700 bales to the same
period last year. Very little of No. 1 and 2 Tsatlee
remains over. It is very confidently asserted that
the total export of the season will not exceed that of
last year.
" Import market at Canton improved ; that of
Changhai rather languid.
" Captain Barkex, of her Majesty's brig Serpent,

" Her Majesty's steamer Sphynx arrived here
from Singapore on the 21st.
"In harbour—Her Majesty's ship Hastings and
steamer Sphynx. At Whampoa, the Amazon. Ser-
pent relieves the Contest at Amoy. Her Majesty's
screw-steamer Reynard by the last accounts was at •

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
(From the 2d to the 15th of Nov. inclusive.)
BOMBAY, FRIDAY EVENING, Nov. 15.
Since our last money has not been in much more in-
quiry, and the banks having raised their rates of interest
1 per cent. all round looks more like a precautionary
measure than any thing else. Timid people are, how-
ever, anticipating considerable tightness in the beginning
of the year. Government securities have fallen in value,
and the following are the quotations:-Sicca Fives 1034
to 104; Sicca Fours, 87; Company's Fives, 99i to
Company's Fours, 83i to 84. The share market is dull,
few transfers taking place. Tho rates of the day are-
Bank of Bombay, 191 per cent. premium; Oriental Bank,
16i per cent, discount; Commercial Bank, 8 per cent.
discount; and Agra Bank, 2 per cent. discount. The
report by the auditors of the Oriental Bank has just
been published, and it represents the business of the
compacy at all its branches to be sound and satisfactory.
In our import market a rather considerable amount of
business has been done, holders having come down some-
what in their rates in order to be able to avail themselves
of the extremely favourable rate of exchange ruling
for some time past. The Dewallee holidays having
terminated has also tended to an increase et business,
but the native dealers have not yet entered the market as
freely as might ihave been expected. There has been
but one arrival, the Owen Glendower from London, since
our last. The export of cotton during the fortnight has
been to a tolerably large extent.
Piece Goods-Prices for most descriptions of piece
goods having been lowered by holders, a pretty fair buci-
ness has been transacted in them. Up-country suppliers
have not as yet entered the market, and it is expected
that when they commence purchasing prices may again
improve. Gray goods have been disposed of as follows:
-Shirtings, 10,873 pieces, at from 3ir. to 6r. 7a. per
piece, 40 to 45 inch 60 reed being chiefly inquired tor,
the inferior qualities being dull; drills, 400 pieces, at sr.
sa. per piece; long cloths, 3,577 pieces, at 4r. 12a. 6p. to
sr. 3a. per piece. The price of these fabrics has some-
what improved, and they are in better inquiry than for-
merly. T cloth, 5,650 pieces, at 3/r. to 3r. 7a. per piece.
Oa these a decline has taken place, but they have been
in some request in consequence. Jaconnets, 9,200 pieces,
chiefly fine makes, at Ir. 4e. 9p. to lr. 7e. 6p. per piece.
Demand dull, prices as formerly. Madapollams,
23,200 pieces, at Ir. 14a. 6p. to 4r. 6a. per piece. The
finer qualities are in little request, the sa'es effected
being of the medium and lower descriptions. Do-
mestics, no business done; no sales reported. Mulls,
600 pieces, at 2/r. per piece. In bleached goods
there has been little done. Shirtings, 1,350
pieces, at 4r. 14a. to 6r. ss. per piece, the quality most
in demand being 66 to 72 reed. 36-inch 40 yards mulls
and medium jaconnets are in pretty fair inquiry at for-
mer rates ; while madapollams, jaconnet checks, satin
spots, and check are dull, and uninquired for. Dyed
Goods-Turkey red plain cloth has sold to extent of
3,650 pieces, at 7/r. to 8/r. per piece ; Swiss pattern
prints and mulls are in fair inquiry, but we have not
heard of any sales. Fancy Goods-Some few sales
have had effect in some of these fabrics, but gene-
rally they are of dull sale, Swiss lappets, prints, pine,
and zebra dresses particularly so. For bleached lap-
pet scarfs, low lappets and book muslins, bleached and
gray domestics, and bleached mulls there is a slight
inquiry.
Cotton Yarn-The sales amount to 435 bales of
water and 100 bales of mule twist. The prices of
nearly all counts of both have fallen slightly, but
holders in general will not part with their stocks at the
rates offered. No transactions in dyed yarns have been
reported. Sales :-170 bales of water twist, 3001 b.
each, No. 30, at 9ia. per lb. ; 190 bales of water twist,
3001 b. each, Nos. 20, at 7is. per lb. ; 75 bales of water
twist, 3001 b. each, Nos. 20, at 711., 30, at 9/a. per lb. ;
50 bales of mule twist, 3001 b. each, Nos. 40, at 9/a., 50,
at 114 x. per lb. ; 50 bales of mule twist, 3001 b. each, No.
30, at fiia. per lb.
Metals-Prices have further declined for nearly all
descriptions. Copper-A large sale of South American
has taken place at a considerable advance in price. Tile
has declined, owing to the large importation from Aus-
tralia noticed in our last. A good demand exists for
braziers', large quantities of which "to arrive" have
been offered for sale by native importers. Iron of all
descriptions is dull of sale. Swedish steel, both in tubs
and fagots, remains as before. A decline has taken
place in both sheet and pig lead and spelter.
Cochineal-A slight decline in value has taken place.
Saffron-As before, good quality being quoted at 13r.
per lb. No sales reported.
Woollens-Very little business has been done in
these since our last. Sales:- R. A.
36 pieces 63 Xl9 scarlet woollen cloth 1 13 per yard.
84 „ 56X 25 coarse ditto
2,300 „ 32 flannel
6,900 , 32 ditto
Beer-The only sales during the fortnight have„ been
20 hhds. Allsopp's, at 80r. per hhd., and 22 dozen Lon-
don bottled Allsopp's ale, at 6r. per dozen. The demand
for this brew continues brisk, and as there is very little
in the market, holders are unwilling to part with their
small stock even at this high figure.
Spirits-We hear of sales of brandy as follows:-16
hhds., at 1 r. per gallon, and 9,500 dozen French brandy
at 7/r. per dozen. In other spirits we have not heard of
anything doing.
Wines-A sale of 600 dozen claret, at Sr. per dozen, is
reported.

Marine Stores—No sales to report, there being scarcely
any inquiry for any of the articles included under this
head.

Opium—Very little doing in the drug, the price of
which has declined to I,loor. for old, and 150 r. for new.
Cotton Wool—The purchases during the fortnight
amount to 4,850 bales and 460 candies. Since the ar-
rival of the last mail, prices, which had previously
slightly given way, have become firm at our quotations.
Freights had been steady during the fortnight at 21.
103. to 21. 15s. for both London and Liverpool; but lat-
terly sevcral large vessels have been engaged for the
former at 21. ss. per ton, and rates are beginning to de-
cline. To Liverpool the rate is 21, 129. 6d. to 31. There
are now in harbour ten vessels loading for London, ten
for Liverpool, two for the Clyde, and five for China,
with upwards of a dozen unengaged.
Exchange—The rate for six months' eight credit bills
has continued steady at 2s. at which large trans-
actions have had effect. For document bills the rate of
the day is 2s. 2d. to 2s. 2id. On Calcutta, 60 days, 99r.,
and on China, 219 r. per 100 dolls.

CANTON MARKS r REPOR r.
HONG KONG, OCT. 30.
Since last month we have to notice a marked improve-
ment in our import market, arising from returning con-
fidence on the part of dealers that the causes which
have operated against the safe transit of goods to the in-
terior will shortly be removed.

have been limited. The quotations are—for Bombay,

86 to 9 1. The sales are estimated at 15,008 bales.
Stock, 54,000 bales, against 76,000 bales in 1849.
Cotton yarn has advanced materially, owing to short
stocks in Chinese hands, and to the firmness of holders.

31 dolls. to 32 dolls. 750.; Nos. 38-42, 32 dolls. 75c. The

LOSS OF THE HELENA SLOMAN

SCREW-STEAMER.

This vessel was lost on her passage from South-
ampton to New York. She was a new iron boat,
built two years since by Prim, of Hull. She had
already made two successful trips between Hamburgh
and :New York. She left Southampton on the Ist
ult. with a valuable cargo and 180 souls on board.
The passengers and crew were principally Germans.
She was discovered by the American packet Devon-
shire, Captain Hovey, after having been beating
about in great distress for eight days. In the at-
tempt to rescue the persons on board the steamer,
four of the crew of the Devonshire, and fire
of the passengers of the Helena Sloman were
lost. From the time of the Helena Sloman's depar-
ture from Southampton, on the Ist of November,
until the 19th, nothing worthy of note occurred.
On the evening of the 19th she encountered
a fearful gale, which she braved gallantly until
eleven P.M., when a heavy sea struck her on the stern
and starboard quarter, causing her to quiver from
stem to sterm. The rudder was then found to have
parted from the ship. The steam was then blown off.
Considerable uneasiness now prevailed—rudder lost,
stern-post gone, ship leaking, propeller not able to be
worked by her sails, owing to ber great lengOt (225
feet). On the 21st and 22d the gale was most violent,
and the pumps were worked without intermission by
means of the engine. On the 22d a distress rudder
was tried and found to be wholly inefficient. At ten
a.m. on that day a barque was seen about ten miles
distant, with all sails set, and steering west. Distress
signals were hoisted on board the Helena Sloman
without success. About three P.m. the crew came
aft, and begged permission to lower the boats and
pull for the barque. The captain, thinking it useless,
and their inability to reach the barque impracticable,
refused. After much discussion amongst the crew,
which was likely to end in a mutiny, the crew ac-
quiesced. At sunset the captain and crew of the
Helena Sloman succeeded in Fetting her head round,
but all to no purpose. On Thursday, the 28th, all
was joy on board at the announcement of a sail in
sight. Signals were made, which were happily ob-
served on board the sail, and which sail turned out
to be the American packet Devonshire. As soon as
the-Devonshire came near the Helena Sloman she
commenced rendering assistance, and succeeded in
saving all the passengers and crew, with the excep-
tion of five; but, in her noble endeavour, she lost
four of her own crew. The captain of the Helena
Sloman remained on board until the last, and he
wished his men, who were alongside in the boats
waiting for him to come on board, so that they might
be enabled to testify that the ship was sinking, but
they refused ; and he then saved all the papers he
could, and then left, her to her fate. She sunk soon
afterwards.

List of persons drowned :--The names of the four
of the crew of the Devonshire who were lost in the
noble endeavour to save the crew and
passengers of
the Helena Sloman were as follows :—Mr. Johnson, D
third mate of the evonshire ;
John Hasson, of Lon-
donderry ; George Riley, of
Hull; and Daniel Mac-
arthur, of Montreal, seamen. The names of the pas-
sengers of the Helena Sloman who were lost were—
Mr. Shelson, of Mecklenburg ; Dr. Lutz, of Heil-
bron ; Augusta Rozenbuck, of Mecklenburg; John
Popake, of Mecklenburg ; and Henry Otterburg, o
Hanover.
The English passengers who joined the Helena
Sloman at Southampton were—Mr. Sladden and by
wife, Mr. John Young, Mr. J. F. Geary, Mr. Stehi-
len, and Mr. Busher.

THE PRESS AND THE PAYACT.—Those wbo would
if they could, bring ns again under the yoke of auperstiti4",
may ascribe the opposition which they encounter in their
designs to the agency of the arch-enemy ; but the real truth
is, that the only devil they Lavato cyntesd With is the
printer's.—Punch.
