BEVAN having this day resigned the office of VISITING SURGEON to the Swansea Infirmary, I hasten to inform you that I am a Candidate for the vacant office. Not having long resided in the Town of Swansea, and therefore unable to rely for support on local interest or favour, my chances of success must entirely depend upon my:abilit). to fill this highly responsible office. The annexed testimonials from two of the first British Sur- geons, selected from a list which I shall have the honour of laying before you, will, I am confident, fully satisfy you upon this point. I may add that I have had the great advantage of filling the office of DRESSER to Mr. Liston; and I venture to affirm, that without the experience which such an office gives, no person can perform the duties of Surgeon to any Public Chanty, with credit to himself or satisfaction to the Subscribers. As far as practicable, I shall do myself the honour of waiting upon each Subscriber; and from the great support which I have already received, I have every rea- to think that my canvass will terminate in my election. I. have the honour to be, My Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen, Your most obedient Servant, HENRY WIGLESWORTH, M.RC.S. Ivy Lodge, Swansea, July 8th, 1845. From Robert Liston, Esq., F.R.S. "I have very great pleasure in certifying that Mr. Henry Wiglesworth was a most diligent and well-con- ducted Student at University College, and Hospital ;— that he was a DRESSER under me, in all cases of accidents and surgical operations, and that he acquitted himself in that situation most creditably. In my opinion, Mr. Wiglesworth is fully qualified to fill the office of Surgeon to any Public Institution. "ROBERT LISTON, FR S., "Professor of Clerical Surgery in University College, and Senior Surgeon to the North London Hospital. "5, Clifford-st., London, June, 1815." From Professor Quaiu, F.R.S. Mr. Henry Wiglesworth, while he was a pupil in the School of Medicine in University College, and in the Hospital connected with the College, well known to me as a most zealous and able student. He highly distin- guished himself in the examination for honours in my class, and became a really excellent anatomist. No person could have displayed more zeal and energy in the study of his profession, to which he always ap- peared to be devoted, and his success in obtaining an extensive and sound knowledge of practical medicine and surgery, has been proportionate to his great exertions. "I believe Mr. Wiglesworth to be thoroughly well qualified for the efficient practice of his profession, either in private, or in connection with any public institution.

And this, notwith- standing all the large reductions in the duties, the colton duties, the glass duties, the auction duties, and other sources ot revenue. These reductions have nearly all fallen within the last quarter, which, therefore, exhibits a decrease, but not much more than half the decrease that it would exhibit had the reductions been all loss. At present we are not in possession of the means of showing the several articles upon which respectively in- crease and decrease have arisen; but we are able to con- gratulate our fellow-subjects, upon indisputable evidence, of a course of general prosperity without example. CHRONICLE. -The revenue accomts for the quarter are extremely satisfactory. They present one of the most convincing proofs which has yet been adduced of the prodigious advantages of cheap food and low duties in augmenting the revenue of the state. At the begin- ning of this session Sir Robert Peel lowered the duty on sugar, abolished the duties on cotton and staves, and on a great variety of small articles, which lie calculated would reduce the Customs revenue on the year by the sum of £ 2,-US,000, or on the quarter E603,000, The accounts show that the diminution is only £;Hi9,:1Si; the Customs revenue for the quarter, therefore, is in reality nearly £ 210,000 better than the corresponding quarter of last year. Similar remarks apply to the Excuse. The reduc- tion in this branch of the revenue for the quarter, as shown by the tables, is £ 149,908; but Sir Robert Peel calculated in February that the Excise revenue would lose on the year, by the abolition of Ihe duties on auctions and glass, £Nn:OOO, or on the quarter, £ *223,000, whereas tbe ioss is oniy £ 149,908. The duties which remain, therefore, of the Customs and Excise branches of the revenue have yielded considerably more than in the cor- responding quarter of last yea1', in conjunction with comparative cheapness and the abolition of duties. The jther branches of the standing revenue show a correspond- ing increase on the quarter. The Stamps have increased irl.'52,000 the Assessed Taxes £ 10,000 and the Pro- perty-tax £ 157,000. In these results there is great encouragement to allow the utmost possible extension of trade, bv the removal of all duties which are not indis- pensable for the public seivice, and all restrictions but Lhose which are necessary to levy the duties.

TIIE ELECTIONS. ABiNfims.—The nomination took place on Monday, ivhen the Attorney-General, Sir K. Thesiger, delivered in admirable speech in defence of his principles Gene- -at Caultield, the opposing candidate, said very little. Vfter a second holding up of hands, the Returning 3;ticei declared it to be in favour of the General. On I'uesday the election took place. At the close of the poll, Attorney-General had a majority of thirty over his opponent. ELECTION* Fait WEST SUFFOLK.—The nomination took l>lace Monday at Bury St. Edmund's, when Captain Hennet, cOIlsen-at he, was returned without opposition. In returning thanks he announced that he would support, iot Chureh and State, but lue running interest of tlw churdl-that he was unpledged to any nhiistrv, and would advocate all measures calculated to secure those real interests by which the country flourished. EXETER. — Mr. Teed having retired. Sir J. Duckworth 'a good Protestant and sound churchman) and General Llriggs were the candidates. The nomination took place >n Monday, but the latter was considered to have no diance, although the show of hands was, after some consideration on the part of the Sheriff, held to be in his iavour. The election took place on Tuesday, when the conservative candidate, Sir J. Duckworth, was returned by an immense majority-the numbers being 1258 to 588, die wing a majority for Sir J. Duckworth of G70. DARTMOUTH.—Mr. Moffatt, the free trader, who was [he bearer of the announcement, of the death of Mr. 3-.>mes, and of his own intention to become a candidate it the same time, lias succeeded, the numbers at the close )f the poll on Thursday being-, MofFatt, 125; Mr. Prin- sep, 111; majority, 14: The show of hands was greatly in favour of Mr. Prinsep, the conservative candidate. The borough thus merely reverts to the Slough of Des- pond, having usually returned what, is called a liberal, ('here appears to have been a good deal of intimidation ind bad conduct on the part of the Moffattites, and a petition may alter the state of affairs. CAMBRIDGE.—A vacancy occurs in the representation yf this town by Mr. Kelly's acceptance of the office of óolicitor-cieneral. '1 he wrÙ was ¡,suc'.1 on Monday. Mr. Adair, an opponent of the Government, is in the field.

n era OLD STATUTRs.-Therc is, or was, a law in our statute book making it highly penal "to harbour a hobgoblin." BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, JULY n, 1815.—The \V. I. Sugar Market remains inactive, only a very limited itnouut of business has been transacted with scarcely any variation in prices. At a meeting of the iron masters at Glasgow, on Tues- lav last, the price of pig iron was ifxed at 80s. The speculators' prices were (jís. 0d. The curious have inquired as to the manner in which the crew of the Great Britain distinguish her six masts. We are told that they are jocosely called after the days ■jf the week, beginning with .Monday. PRICE OF GAS.—The old company at Birmingham lave reduced the price of "as to an amount varying with :he quantity used. They also allow a bonus of ten per cent, for prompt payment, and not only supply metres gratuitously, but also keep them in repair without any charge. LANGUA CtiURctT.—An organ has been erected, with jallery and other improvements, in the above church, at ) he expense of the ltey. W. E. Smith, Rector. It is stated that the Welsh colliers who recently re- ) rheed some of the malcontents who turned out in the idjacent coal districts of this county, have not given satisfaction, and are returning home.—Liverpool Paper. The area of Ireland is 12,819,4132 Irish acres. The otal number of farms is 685,302, and of these 300,915 ire under five acres. A FAMINE AT GRAVESEND.—So greatly was the popu- .ettiou of Gia.vc.send inrrexsed by the immense influx of | visitors on Sunday last, that the requisite quantity of food :0 supply the craYings of appetite could not, be procured, mil many persons had to leave without partaking of cither dinner or tea. As a proof of the demand, ham, was sold at six shillings per pound, and half-quartern loaves sixpence each. EXPERIMENT WITH THE GREAT BRITAIN".—There being a very light spring tide on Saturday, a very short draught of water was necessary in order to get this levi- athan steamer safely into the graving dock. After every exertion, by trimming coals, cables, anchors, &c., at seven o'clock on Saturday morning the ship was draw- ing 14 feet 8 inches aft and 12 f»et 6 inches forward. Capt. Hosken, seeing this, immediately ordered a bolt to be taken out of the bow and allowed the foremost com- partment to fill with water. This, in a short time, brought the ship to 14 feet aft and 13 feet 1 inch for- ward, putting her in the trim required, and, at the same time, affording satisfactory proof of the utility and efficiency of the water-tight bulk-heads.— Liverpool Albion, of Saturday. IUISII GRAIN.—There has been laid before the House of Commons, on the motion of Mr. Trotter, a return of the quantities of wheat, barley, oats, wheat flour, aud oatmeal, imported into Great Britain, from Ireland, in the years 1842-3 and 4, distinguishing the quantities in each year: of wheat in 1842, the number of quarters imported was 112,195 in 1843, 192,477 f's. in 1844, 200,276 qrs. Barley, in the three years respectively, 50,287, 110,499,90,656 qrs. Oats, 1,274,320, 1,561,997, 1,509,870 qrs. Wheat meal and flour, 314,311, 773,463, 839,567 cwts. Oatmeal, 1,551,172, ),70L;,628, 1,150,970 cwts. The return is from the office of the inspector general of imports and exports, at the London Custom House. The Baron de Cologne, an attache of the French Le- gation in Bavaria, proposes a plan of conveying letters at the rate of one hundred leagues per hour This is not so quick as the plan of an English inventor, who has taken out a patent for conveying letters at the rate of 400 miles an hour through an exhausted tube, like Mr. Vallance's tunnel, which was to transport passengers from London to Brighton in 10 minutes; but it is quick enough—and how does the scientific baron propose to accomplish his feat He would build small houses as stations, and provide each of them with a revolving lever, 300 feet long, which would throw the mail to the next and 110 on along the whole line, SUPPRESSION cp N: 3;.AVK T::ADE. — Dispatches have been received at the Admiralty from C^i'ain Jones, of- the Penelope, 22, steam frigate, the commodore on the coast ot Airica. It appears such has been the success o' the squadron in the suppression of the siavetradf, thaMio less than If) YPssc'is /']"¡;;a;d Ï'1 the abominable traffic have been captured. Manv most satisfactory proofs ot the viu'i'iance of our cruisers on the coast have lately been aiiorded. Nothing appears to escape them. The murderers on board the prixestavor were recaptured witnin 48 hours after thc consummation of their diabo- lical deed, and the survivors of the crew of that ill-fated ves.set which foundered on her way to Sierra Leone, were also picked up by another cruiser ill a remote qua rter. There is trwul reason to believe that the Great Western Company wish to carry out iheir design of making a rail- way through this city to Monmouth and Hereford, wi-.li a continuation from the former place to Newport—independ- ently of their South Wales line, with which that we have indicated would communicate—thus virtually securing a great and uninterrupted iineofcommunicatioafor G louces- ter aud Cheltenham to the west. We have always been at: opinion-and we know that we share that opinion with many others much better qualified to judge than we "re ''la' the interests of the Great Western Railway Company and those of Gloucester are now reciprocal. One thing is clear: the position of both Gloucester and I heltenham will he materially strengthened by an abridg- ment of the distance to London 10 the smallest possible limit. The attainment of this result is, under existing circtiiiislauces, an object of the first importance.—Glouces- tel" Chronicle. LioHTHorsE ON run Gomvix.—Mr. Bush, after havine- surmounted every obstacle in the erection of the building to contain the light f >r all nations," is now contending with the greatest diiii 'itllv, namely its useful application. The Trinity Board has the exclusive privi- lege of mannging the light-houses on the English coast, and although this privilege was originally granted for the public, good, it has now, l.ke many more, become subser- vient to private interests. The elder brethren are jealous of their rights, they cannot brook the intrusion of a bold, persevering, and clever man succeeding where they have failed, and they appear more disposed to visit the offend- ing party with their displeasure than to hail the success of the undertaking, and to reward the skilful engineer for the additional protection lie offers to the lives and pro- perty of our merchants and seamen. — The Builder. GAMES AND WAGERS—The Lord President's Bill "To amend the law concerning games and wagers" (which has just been printed by order of their Lordships' House) repeals that part of 33 Henry VIII., c. H, which declares any game of mere skill, "such as bowling, costing, cloyshcayls, half bowl, tennis or the like," to be an un- lawful game, &c. The bill further declares that, iu order to prove any house or place to be a common gaming-house it shall be sufficient to prove it is kept or used for playing therein at any unlawful game, and that a bank is kept there by one or more of the players exclusively of the others; or that the chances of any game played therein are not. alike favourable to all the players, inclu- ding among the players the banker or other person by whom the game is managed, or against whom the other players stake, play, orbet." The power of justices is to be exercised under warrant to enter any such house. Addi- tional penalties are proposed to be imposed, not exceeding £ 100 or six months in a house of correction, on gaming- house keepers. Proof of gaming for money, &c., is not to be necessary in suppoit of informations tor gaming. The police superintendent may search for instruments of gaming, and witnesses are to be indemninedfrom all pro- secution, &c. It is proposed that public billiard tables shall be licensed from Michaelmas next. The bill proposes further to repeal 10 Charles II., c. 7; 10 Willbim III., c. 11 9 Anne, c. H 11 Anne, c. 5 5 and 6 William IV., c. 41.; and part of 18 George II., c. 31 (sections 3 and 8, making persons liable to indictment for winning or losing at play, or by betting at anyone time £ 10, or within twenty-four hours £20). Actions and informations are to be discontinued, and cheating at play is to be punished as obtaining money by false pre- tences. Wagers are not to be recoverable at law, and convictions, &c., are not to be quashed for informality, &e. COLLARS.—Up OR DOWN'] Which side are we to take in the collar question-ups, or ti0wns, or none at all We confess ourselves to be practically in a dilemma; although, aesthetically speal<in»-aud, indeed, from mo- tives of comfort—we have no hesitation in saying, turn down your collars they never were meant to be turned up. But it is now become so much of a French and English affair, that we shall be suspected of want of pa- triotism if we do not say, keep up your collars, and up- hold the national dignity As for the no collar view of the subject, much may be said for and against it it de- pends a good deal on your complexion, reader, and also onthecotourofyourcravat. If YOIl have got all your cambric and your lace, yon need no further contrast for your physiognomical tint; but if you are wearing a black kerchief, and yon are of a bilious brown and yellow hue, pray fetus see half an inch, at least, of white beneath the towel-jawbone. Ibis point of contrast is the real reason why the collar should, as a matter of taste, be allowed to lie down on the cravat. It produces great effect—it looks cleaner-it is certainly more comfortable. If the majority of free-born Englishmen shall ever so far sur- mount their prejudices as to take a hint from France (for 'tis an invcntion of lajeune France), we will walk over rium wui si.ic of lhc iiuu.^r, rtiid, ill ltlt: f,ll"C or (Ue HartulI andonr constituents, will j oin them.—Blackwood's Æslhetics a/Dress. SERIOUS AFFRAY IN LIVERPOOL.—On Sunday after- noon the inhabitants of various streets which intersect a densely-populated locality, were kept in a state of great commotion by a mob which had assembled and attacked a body of Orangemen. It appears that Orangemen to the number of 150 had been walking in procession at the funeral of a deceased brother, and were returning. The Orangemen composing it, wore black sashes, tied, in some instances, at the ends with orange ribbons. When they had reached the end of Great Crosshall street, the crowd which had been accompanying them down Scot- land-road was considerably reinforced by the Irish resident in Lace-street and other low streets in that neigh- bourhood. The Irishmen appear to have been the aggres- sive party, exasperated, no doubt, by the display of orange ribbons. A stone was thrown, and then a volly of stones followed. The Orangemen, who were walking two deep, and were only accompanied by about 10 policemen, immediately''halted and drove their assailants up some of the adjacent streets, with the assistance of the police. The uproar, however, drew large bodies of other Irish- men to the spot, and the mob, having in this way regained strength and courage, made the Orangemen, after a vigorous resistance, fly before them. Happily no life was lost on the occasion, and the injuries, so far as we could ascertain, were very few. When the affray had lasted about half an hour, theOrangemen were induced quietly to make the best of their way home through some of the by-streets leading towards London- road and strong detachments of the policc force having arrived, the mob were overawed, and all active disturb- ance was from that moment at an end. MARRIAGE OF TIIE MARQUIS OF WORCESTER AND LADY G. CUKZON.—The marriage of Henry Somerset, Marquis oi Worcester, only son of the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, with ihe Lilly Georgians Curznn, eldest daughter of Earl Howe, was solemnized ou Thursday week at Hampton Church. Middlesex. The lion, and Rev. Dr. Gerald Valerian Wellesley was the officiating minis- ter. At eleven, the fair betrothed, accompanied by Earl Howe, her lather, and attended by a bridal train composed ni the Ladies Adelaide and Emily Curzon, Lady Blanche, Lady Rose, Lady Emily, and Lady Henrietta Somerset, left Bushy Park for the Church. 1 he Queen Dowager, the Duchess Ida, of SAxe Weimar, and the Princess Ann and Amelia, the Duke and Duchess of Beaulort, the Marquis of Worcester, (the happy bridegroom), and a circle of relatives and friends, came in five of the Royal carri ages. As the Queen Dowager entered the church, .he organist played the "National Anthem. Precisely at ive minutes tollthehrida) procession left the vestry for ilie aitar, the beautiful bride resting on the arm of her aohle father, who even at this early stage of the ceremony, ippeared deeply affected. The marriage service was lordi- -vith commenced, the Duke of Wellington, at th > desire it Earl Howe, gi\i:ig ihe fair bride away at the altar. I lie bride went liirough the trying and solemn ceremony Willi considerable fortitude. The bride wore a magnilicent ■ohe de marriage, composed of rich white watered silk, 1rnamentc(1 with two deep point lace flounces, each fluunce terminated with aa insertion of white satiupearts. The LOrsage anc1lSlf:'e\'es were correspondingly trimmed, with ihe addition of boquets of orange blossom. Txecoiffure was remarkably plain, consisting of a wreath of orange lowers, and a magoilicent point hce veil, oauameuted willI pe¡¡rls, thrown over the head, completed her Lady- ship's attire. The bridesmaids were —Lady Blanche Somerset, Lady Henrietta Somerset, Lady Ivatlierine Somerset, Lady Adelaide Curzon, Lady Rose Somerset, Lady Geraldine Somerset, Lady Edith Somerset, Lady, Emily Curzon. Their Ladyships were all similarly attired in white dresses, with pink scarfs, and the youthful ap- pearance of the large majority of theui, contributed very much to increase the interesting character ot the scene. The customary attestations in the registry were made in the vestry, the witnesses subscribing their names being the Queen Adelaide, the Duchess Ida of Saxe Weimar the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, the Duke of Welling- ton, Lorii Fitzroy Somerset, Hon. R. Curzon, Ladies Blanche and Rose Somerset, and Mr. Charles Culling Smith. The happy bride, accompanied by her noble husband, immediately entered one of the Royal carriages, and started for the Queen Dowager's residence in Bushy- Park, amidst the warm and protracted cheeriug of the crowd where, on their arrival, flowers were scattered before them by some youthful ladies, who had awaited that pleasure with evident anxiety. The Marquis and Marchioness, having partaken of luncheon, departed for Badminton, the Duke of Beaufort's seat in Gloucestershire, where it was destined they should p'18S the usual portion of privacy, commonly called the honeymoon. The Queen Dowager gave the wedding dejeuner. The splendid bride- cake had u conspicuous place. At the close of the sump- tuous repast, the Duke of Wellington rose, and said- "I am commanded by her Majesty Queen Adelaide, to propose the health, long life, and happiness, of the Mar- quis and Marchioness of Worcester." The company rose tocether, and drank the health of the noble bride and bridegroom, after which, the Queen Dowager retired, and the party broke up. III closing ollr notice of this interest- ing event, we must not omit to mention the extraordinary number of valuable presents which the youthful bride has received upon her marriage from all quarters. On Thurs- day morning, the Queen Do.vager presented her Ladyship with a diamond brooch ot immense value, in addition to her former presents. A pearl necklace, with a magnificent diamond cross, the gift of the Duke of Beaufort, was the onty ornament of jewellery worn by her Ladyship.

BRISTOL COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-T. L. Phillips, Edward Quelch, Thomas Whittaker, aud John Prujean, have severally obtained their final orders. On Sundaj week, the ^9:h day of June, a sermon was preached at Saint John's Chureh, Cardiff, by the Vene- rable Archdeacon Williams, from 1 Sth c. Luke, v. 10, being in aid of the Free Day and Sabbath Schoul., esta- blished in connexion with the Chureh in this town. At the conclusion of the service a collection was made, which realised tIle sum of £ 11 11; 6ft The subscribers and friends of the school met at the Town-hall ia the fore- noon, from which place they walked to Church. On Monday last, a party of about three hundred per- sons reached Cardiff hy the Glamorgan steam packet, and having spent the day, which, upon the whole, Was calm and fine, in seeing the various points of attraction of the town and neighbourhood, returned to Bristol the same evening. .i WD-bie° t0 return our respectful acknowledgements to thcRig.it Honorable John Nieholl, for copies of three buls now before Parliament-namely, the South Wales t urnpike Trusts Bill, the County Rates Bi I, and the Panper Lunatics Bill-abstracts of which will be found in our fourth page. ON Monday morning last, the members of the Cardiff Benefit and Annuitant Society walked in procession, preceded by the Royal Glamorgan Band, to Saint John's Church. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Leigli Morgan, from 4th chapter of 1st. John, v. 7 and 8— Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth .» ^ovet'1 I10t knoweth not God for God is love." The discourse was most appropriate and was, apparently, productive of the most beneficial conse- quences. After the service had been concluded the proces- sion again formed and proceededto the Angel Inn, where a most excellent and indeed sumptuous dinner was pre- pared, of which the members partook. The evening was spent in a manner truly rational and entertaining. ACCIDENT. — On Tuesday la-st, a labouring man name I Thomas Blaketnore, residing in this town, met with a severeaccidentnearthe Bute Docks. He was on the quay assisting in taking a box from a cart, for the pui- pose of conveying it on board the Prince of Wales steamer, when, in consequence of the slovenly way in which the horse's harness was arranged, and the want of what is termed a « belly band," the tub of the cart fell backwards, and knocked Blakemore over the wall into the cut a height of about 2.3 feet. He sustained by the fall many dangerous contusions, and cuts in different parts of his body. He was instantly conveyed to his. house and promptly attended by Mr. Thomas Evans, surgeon. Ilis recovery is said to be cousidered probable. BKTWEEN the hours of one and two o'clock on the morning of Tuesday last, the Union House of the Car- diff District was entered by four men. It appears that circumstances, which for the present it would be prudent not to disclose, induced the matron, Mrs. Davies, and an attendant to sit up for the purpose of watching the PMral" At one o'clock they saw the doors and win- dows were securely fastened as usual, and then being overcome by the fatigue of watching fell asleep. In the course of a short time they were alarmed bv cries, and on proceeding to the large room in which the school- master, Mr. Herbert Rees, and his pupils slept, found by the statements of the boys that that room had been entered by four men, two of whom had carried away a large heavy box in which Mr. Rees kept his clothes, papers, and other things, and that one of the men had struck Mr. Rees with great violence upon his mouth with a large massive bludgeon, Mr. Rees could give no in- formation respecting the outrage as he was asleep at the time, and neither heard, felt, nor saw anything until he felt himself wounded by the blow. The doors were oper, and the box, emptied of its contents, was found in the garden, between which and the house are two high walls, over which the men must have passed. The box. con- tained wearing apparel, five shillings in the pockets of » one of the pairs of trousers, eight small and old fashioned silver tea spoons, a tabLe sflom marked A., two small gold rings, two small seals with the name Cecil on one and Anne on the other, a silver pencil case, and a receipt from a bank for the sum of £ 'l(K), which of course, will be valueless to any one except Mr. Rees. It is evident that force was not used in entering the house as neither of the locks or fastenings were injured. The depreda- tors must therefore have entered by means of a skeleton key, or by some means, have procured one of the keys of the house, which we believe will eventually prove to n'. be the case, as a sort of master-key for the Ward in which the schoolmaster slept was suddenly lost some weeks ago under these circumstances :—The person who had the care of it placed it on a table whilst she executed some trifling mission, and on her return missed the key, and it has not since been seen. At that time a man, who is strongly suspected to be one of the four who committed the outrage, was engaged at work in the room, and most probably secured the key. We are in possession of the tr names of the suspected" parties and several other facts f connected with the robbery, but for the present, any 1 further disclosures would be imprudent. BRAHAM'S CONCERT.— 3y an advertisement which ap- pears in another column, the public of this town and neighbourhood will perceive that Mr. Braham, the very celebrated vocalist, intends giving a concert at our The- atreonMonday next, in which he wi'l be assisted by his two accomplished sons, Messrs. Chas. & Hamiltoll Braham — the performance-, beingunderthe patronageofthehigh- t sheriff. The programme contains a selection ofthe most admired songs, songs that have acquired popularity through f the instrumentality of Mr. Braham alone, who is most truly f and emphatically termed "the Prince of Vocallists." t AV ith regard to his sons we may state that, from notices which have appeared in the columns of our metropolitan and provincial contemporaries, we are led to conclude they possess powers of the very first order. Mr. Chas. Braham's voice is a remarkably li.ie tenor & his brother's is a deep bass, which, we are told, he uses with great energy and power, forcibly reminding us of Lablache. Another word is quite unnecessary, itS we feel confi lynt that our townsmen and tmvnswomeii will eagerly avail themselves of this oppoitunity of hearing the "celebrated t Braham" once more. ) IMPO:;T\NT TO ELECTORS. — To avoid the disfranchise- A ment of electors in cities and boroughs, all poor-rates .1 and asses i 'd taxes (if any) payable in respeetof premises previous to the 0th of April, must be paid on or before the 20th of July, to entitle an elector to be inserted in the ensuing register. The window-tax is payable by Act | of Parliament, whether demanded or not. The poor- £ rate is not payable till demanded. No elector should, however, omit to pay his poor-rate because application has not been made for payment, as the collectors may think they have called when they have not done so and for tear of ultimate neglect the poor-rate and window tax should be paid immediately. \Ve remind ourConser- vative friends that the 3J:h proximo is the last day allowed by law for taking freedoms, and the 20th of the same month for sending in claims for voting in counties. FURNITURE run TIIE MILLION.—If singing for the million is useful, furniture for the million must be much more so, inasmuch as solid comforts are more valuable than empty sounds. At the Cardiff Pantechnicon," iu the Hayes, beds, bedsteads of all descriptions, (four-post, tent, French, and elliptic, either French polished or plain)* together with an extensive selection of chairs, (hair-t^ bottomed, cane-seated, and either decorated or plain), may be inspected. The price is really so low that persons may suit themselves at once with any article ot household goods. —(See Adv.) CARDIFF SAVINGS' BANK.—Saturday, Ju'y 5th. Amount of deposits received, JE340 Os. od. ditto paid, £21 14s. 8d.; number of depositors, 59. THE SOUTH WALES RAILWAY.—After surmounting difficulties and dangers of no ordinary description, the South Wales Railway bill seems to have fair prospects of ultimately receiving the full sanction of the legistat-ure. The termini of the main line will for the present be Fishguard and Chepstow, with branches to Pembroke.» and Monmouth. The crossing over or under the Severn* the selection of the point, whether the O.d Passage ùr; Hock Crib, or whether the rail shall go roand by Glou-' cester, are left as open questions, but there is no doubt that the full object of the promoters will eventually b' attained. Thus, after all the hopes and fears, the n e ,(/ ings and counter-meetings, the contending interests anJ. opposing views, the matter is settled for the present ees'* sion at least, but to be renewed in the next. It seem-s^ matter of regret that the views of the Admiralty Wtf respect to the bridge had not been ascertained earlier, a* great expense would thereby have beeo avoided. 0, f-
