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 lIOLLES
who for a period of 14 years, in an exe.nalary 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 inea,,s of making a provisi.n
for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the coos
of Mrs. Holiest will commend itself to the generous consideration
of those who are blessed with the means of alleviating, so far as
human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a
family so fearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of
Mrs. Holiest does not exceed 40/. per annum, and subscriptions are
earnestly solicited in aid of these inadequate means. Subscriptions
will be thankfully received by the following bookers :—Messrs.
Herries, 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. Stev. us
and Mandy, Reading; also by the following members of the Com-
mittee :

A TALE.
By the Author of " Mary Barton."
With Illustrations by Birket Foster.
" The Moorland Cottage, like Mary Barton, is a tale of passion and
feeling, developed among what may be called every-day people ; but
unlike Mary Barton, it is not a tale of class sufferings and class in-
terests. It is merely a story intended to soften the heart and sweeten
the charities at Christmas time by the agency of pity and sympathy.
The idea is simple, but the execution Is of no common order. The
characters are nicely marked."—Athenamm.

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
fertunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertain; 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
alone it can ho procured. Dr. LA'IIIF.RT has taken the highest
medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his
practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these
.Iseases.

ABERDARE COLLIERY EXPLOSION.
The inquest on the bodies of the eight unfertunate
men killed by the recent explosion in the new Duffryn
colliery at Aberdare, has at length been brought to a
close. We have the melancholy task of adding that
since our last report one more victim has been added to
the sufferers, making in all nine persons killed, sad
seven seriously wouned.
In addition to the evidence given in our last report we
have to add some further p irlieulara elicited from Mr.
Thomas Williams, the chief underground manager and
viewer of Mr. Powell's collieries at Aberdare, and who
had arranged the plan of the workings in the new col-
liery, subject to Mr. Powell's supervision. Mr. Powell
described the nate& of the colliery and the means of
ventilation afforded. He stated that there were two
shafts at the new Daffryn colliery, one being employed
for pumping exclusively, and one for winding—the
pumping shaft being the upcast and the winding shaft
the downcast. The sectional area of the pumping shaft
is 9 feet by 13, and 168 yards (loop; that of the winding
shaft is 13 feet six inches by 19 feot, and 165 yards deep.
The pumping shaft is partially occupied by pit work and
scaffolds. Previous to the accident, the winding shaft was
divided, for about 100 yards from the bottom, by a 9-inch
brick partition. At the time of the explosion the means
employed for keeping up a circulation of air in the
colliery was by placing a " lamp " at the bottom of the
pumping shaft. A lamp is a large basket, about 18
inches in diameter, which is kept continually full of
burning coal. The area of the " downcast" would be
upwards of 200 square feet, and the " upeast" nearly 100
square feet as they existed at the time of the explosion.
The area of some of the air .passages in the pit itself is
not more than 25 square feet, and the whole of the air
circulating in the pit would be confined to one of those
passages. Mr. Williams explained that the whole of the
single air current circulating through the pit has to pass
by the waggon-road to the face of each stall, along the
face of that stall, and then to return by the silo of the
" goal" or " gob," as it is called, by a single air " thirl-
ing" to the next stall; so that if any casualty happens
in any of the waggon-roads, in any of the stalls, or at
the face of the stalls, or to the airway between the "gob"
and the deep pillar, the whole of the ventilation of the
colliery is liable to be intercepted. Mr. Williams, how-
ever, had not known this to be the case. He added, as
to the effects of the accident, that the brick partition
already described is blown down, with the exception of
from eight to ten yards, and about thirty-five yards at
the top not affected. The mortar in the part blown
down had not had time to set. Before the accident it
was contemplated to make air courses, and it was in-
t, nded to have a steam jot. Mr. Powell was desirous to
employ the best means of ventilation for his mines,
without regard to cost.
Mr. Blackwell, the Government Inspector, expressed
his belief that it was Mr. Powell's wish to ventilate his
collieries efficiently. The witness further stated that at
the time of the ecaident there was but one air course,
but it was contemplated to divide the air. He was
aware that in the infancy of a c,lliery " blowers" (the
cause of the explosion) were more likely to be found than

at any other time. lie knew of more shafts that were
partitioned like that in the new Duffryn colliery, but
after what had recently occurred in that colliery he
should not hereafter approve of them.
The last witness examined was Mr. Davis, the me-
dical attendant at the works, who deposed to the nature
of the injuries which the deceased men had sustainel
chiefly burns and bruises.
.The jury returned the following verdict:—" We find
that the death of tun deceased was caused aecidentelly;
and we believe that the fall in the stalls of Nos. 2 and a
in the north heading was the cause of the gas being
forced in contact with the fireman's naked candle, and
thereby causing the explosion. And we find that there
is no culpable neglect attached to any of the agents con-
nected with the Dutftyn colliery, but most emphatically
condemn the mode of ventilation hitherto applied, and
particularly recommend Mr. Blackwell's system of venti-
lation to be adopted immediately; and we also condemn
the use of brattices in all pits."
EX

TRAORDINAR I' AND DETERMINED
SUICIDE.
BOSTON, DEC. 23. —Au inquest was held in But•
terwick Allotment by Mr. -Walter Clegg, D,,puty
Coroner, on view of the body of James Richardson,
aged 66, who harlcommitted suicide by hanging him-
self on the previous Saturday. From the evidence it ap-
peared that he had been for some time in a low despond-
ing state of mind, in consequence of a dread lest he
should be deprived of his situation, that of ground
keeper at Mr. Porter's farm. On the day of his death
he left his house at three o'clock in the afternoon, and
was never again seen alive. At half-past five o'clock the
men came up from work in the field, and great sur-
prise was expressed that Richardson's work was
still neglected, as he was a very steady man, and
remarkably attentive to his duties. It being dark,
lanterns were lighted, and the fields were searched, but
without discovery of the missing man. At length it
was suggested that the barn should be searched. There
are two doors opening into the barn, one from the
crew-yard, and the other facing the road. The door
in the crew-yard was found locked, and it was well
known that the deceased always kept the key in his
own possession. The large doors on the other side of
the barn were discovered to be fastened from the in-
side, and fastened so securely that considerable delay
ensued before they could be broken open. As soon,
however, as an entrance to the barn was obtained, the
body of the unhappy deceased was immediately
discovered. He was in a kneeling position, with his
legs on the ground and his knees all but touching the
ground. He had effected suicide by means of a small
new plough line, and the method employed evinced a
suicidal determination probably unparalleled. Having
first doubled the cord, he bad formed a noose at one
and which encircled his neck, he had then passed the
line over a hook in the wall of the barn at a dis-
tance of about six feet from the ground. The cord
wes not fastened to the hook but merely passed over
it as over a pulley ; then firmly grasping one end of
he line in each hand, the wretched man had made
an Effort a if he would throw himself on his knees.
Thus he was found, after being suspended in all proba
bility three hours, the only hold of the rope by which
he was hanging., being the grasp of his own hands !
These facts were deposed to on oath by several wit-
nesses, Mr. Clegg remarked to the jury that even
supposing corroborative evidence were altogether
wanting, the condition in which the body was dis-
covered, proved self-destruction beyond all doubt.
Cases were recorded in which after the commission
of murder, the weapon or instrument by which
the crime was accomplished had been placed
in the hand of the victim, in order to induce a
belief that death had resulted from suicide.
But in none of these cases was the hand ever found
firmly closed upon the weapon ; whereas in cases of
self-destruction, it was sometimes necessary to em-
ploy even some little violence in order to remove the
instrument of death from the grasp of the dead. The
present case afforded remarkable prima facie evidence
that the deceased was suspended during life, and that
his own hands were alone concerned in his destruc-
tion. The jury returned a verdict of "Temporary
Insanity."--Boston Hera!d.

LATE COLLISION ON THE EASTERN
COUNTIES RAILWAY.
After the night chat-gee at Worship-street had been
riwpo:,ed of, William Lloyd, an engine-driver employed
on the Eastern Counties Railway, was brought before
Nits Hammill to answer an information preferred Lgainst
him under one of the clauses of Lord Seymour's Act.
for having wilfully violated certain regulations of the
company, by driving his engine in such a careless and
negligent manner as to occasion a serious collision with
the Colchester train, whereby several of the passengers
had sustained injuries, and their lives had been placed in
imminent danger.
Mr. Hawley, from the office of Messrs. Crowder and
Maynard, solicitors to the company, intimated to the
magistrate that the subject matter of complaint arose
out of the circumstances attending the collision which
occurred on the night of the 20th inst. ni ar tho Brick-
lane station, and which had already undergone a preli-
minary investigation before the authorities of the rail-
way, who had deemed it their duty to adopt the present
proceedings against the defLlCant; but it was only his
intention at present to establish such a case as would
justify the magistrate in calling upon the defendant to
find sureties for his appearance at the sessions to answer
the charge.
Mr. George Richardson, the general superintendent of
the line, was then called, and said—Shortly after ten
o'clock on the evening of Monday, the 23d instant, I
was at the Stratford station, and in consequence of the
dense fog which prevailed at the time I gave certain di-
rections to the officers there, which I requested them to
communicate to the drivers of the engines attached to
the up-coming trains. I left Stratford soon afterwards
by the Parliamentary train from Colchester, which was
proceeding at the rate of from five to seven miles an
hour,.and had just passed the Brick-lane station, when the
Norwich express train, of which the defendant was the
driver, overtook us, and ran into our train. In conse-
quence of the collision the horse-box at the end of the
train was detached from it, and the back part of the
carriage immediately in front of it having been forced
in, several of the passengers sustained injuries, but none
of them, happily, were of a serious description.
Benjamin Richardson, the station-master at the Strat-
ford station, said—On the arrival of the Norwich
express train on the night in question, I told
the defendant, pursuant to directions I had
received from the last witness, that as the Col-
chester train had just started he must wait a short
time at the station, and that he might tske in water if
ho required it. I cannot recollect that he made any re-
ply, but he did remain for about a quarter of an hour,
when he again started, but as he was on the point of
leaving I warned him that he must proceed very cauti-
ously, as the night was so foggy, and the train that
had gone forward would stop at the Bow and Mile-end
stations.
Mr. Ilammill inquired if there was any evidence that
the defendant had contravened the regulations by going
at an excessive velocity, which would be necessary to
establish the case, and of which no proof had as yet been
presented to him?
Mr. Hawley said that he should be prepared upon a
future occasion to show that he had driven at an unau-
thorised rate of speed, and had acted wholly contrary to
the by-laws and regulations of the company.
The defendant, who appeared to be greatly excited,
was about to enter upon an explanation of the circum-
stances, but was advised by the magistrate to reserve
whatever ho had to say, and inquired whether he had
any persons in attendance who would become answer-
able for his future appearance?
The defendant answered in the negative, as his friends
all resided at a distance, and that he was wholly unpre-
pared for such a result as the present inquiry.
In answer to a question from the magistrate,
Mr. Hawley said that the defendant had been sus-
pended from the service of the company, but as he had
always, he believed, up to the present occurrence con-
ducted himself with perfect steadiness and propriety, he
felt himself authorised, on the part of the company, in
consenting to accept his own recognisances for his future
appearance.

Mr. Flammill assented, and the recognisances having
been accordingly taken, the whole of the parties quitted
the court.

AYLESBURY ELECTION.

FRIDAY EVENING.--The nomination of Mr. John
Houghton yesterday, in opposition to Mr. Frederick
Calvert, Q.C., unexpectedly gave rise to a poll. Mr.
Houghton had been in the field with Mr. Calvert and
Sergeant Byles, but he retired first, that the Liberal in-
terest might not be divided. Mr. Sergeant Byles' re-
tirement somewhat changed the position of parties, and
so Mr. Hougton allowed himself to be nominated at the
last hour. But it was of little use, although a strong
feeling prevailed that he would receive Protectionist
support, on account of his proposals for agricultural re-
lief. His extreme Radical principles, however, were
against him, and Mr. Calvert's preparations, in the event
of a pull, were so extensive as to prevent all chance of
a temint farmer becoming a Member of Parliament at
present.

Showing a reduction of 6,100/. a-year,4oo and I am
quite certain the work would be much better done ;
every man would be responsible for his own depart-
ment, there would be no building ships and pulling
them to pieces—no destroying, breaking up, and
altering as fast as we build ; no building thirty-three
iron steamers without trying one, at the cost of a
million ; at all events we should be able to fix the
responsibility and punish the culprit.
If the public do not now insist on a change they
had better hold their tongues ; they have grumbled
a little at the expense of the iron steamers, but they
may rest assured the reign of blunder is not over, and
never will be, as long as the present system continues.
