TO THE ELEOTORS OF THE UNITED BOROUGHS OF HAVERFORDWEST, NARBERTH, AND FISHGUARD. GENTLEMEN, I lament that the retirement of Mr Scourfield from the Representation of your Boroughs has imposed upon you the necessity of seeking another Candidate to supply his place. The Requisition I have had the honour so unex- pectedly to receive from a large number of intelligent and influential Electors, demands as prompt and frank an acceptance on my part, as the support has been freely.and handsomely given to me The task, I feel, is great to follow one, who has for so many years zealously and efficiently discharged the duties of your Representative his unceasing and de- voted attention to your local interests, & his readiness at all times to devote his time and talents to the pro- motion of your welfare, have endeared him to those who agreed with him, & caused him to be respected by those who on some points differed from him. Should I be so fortunate as to attain the honourable position of repre- senting you in Parliament, I shall endeavour to follow his example. I am a Conservative; entertaining liberal viewn towards all good measures that commend themselves to my judgment, come from what side of the House they may. On the great question of the total Disestablishment and Disendowment of the Irish Church, I think it right to state that my opinions are decidedly opposed to it; at the same time I am most desirous to consider and aid in remedying all evils that may be shewn to exist. I shall endeavour also to ext, nd the usefulness and blessings which accompany our Reformed Church. Ishall offer the strongest opposition to the endowment of the Church of Rome in Ireland. I rejoicc at the removal of such grievances as were the cause of offence and wrong to the great body of our Nonconformist Brethren, and I wish to see the further removal of any under which they may still continue to labour. I am very anxious to see the large increase in taxation which has taken place of late years, especially in our Military and Naval Departments, much di- minished, and indulge the hope that the policy of non- interference which Lord Stanley has so happily inaugurated will, in the end, lead to a considerable European Disarmament. My constant aim will be to promote the success of measures that may conduce to the reduction of Local Taxation, I shall endeavour to press forward the Reform of the Bankruptcy, and other beneficial measures, which have been so often hindered by valuable time being lost at the end of each session by party strife. It is my intention to wait on each of you, when I shall be prepared to answer any questions that may be put to me, and to explain further my political opinions. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your very obedient Servant, SAMUEL PITMAN. Picton Castle, 3lst July, 1868.

TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF PEMBROKE. GENTLEMEN,— Since I last addressed you, an immediate Dissolution of the Present Parliament has been announced. From the many kind assurances of support which I have already reoeived, I have every reason to hope that my services may be acceptable to the General Constit ueney of the County. I beg to state that on the great question which now principally engages the attention of the country, 1 adhere to those opinions which I have already sup- ported by my Votes in Parliament, and to which I have referred in my previous Address. I can only add that, if you do me the honor of electing me as your representative, I shall do every- thing in my power to deserve your confidence, by my exertions to promote your General and Local Interests. I remain, Gentlemen, Your faithful servant, J. H. SCOURFIELD. Williamston, November 5, 18GS.

THE DISSENTERS AND POPERY. "SOME DBSESTEttS, too," says the Rev T. Binney "may lay to heart with manifest advantage the lesson taught them by passing events. It may be easy to argu against National Establishments and the Royal supre macy, the demonstration may be completo of the im propriety of secular legislation in religion, and in favoti of unrestricted religious liberty, that the law shoul know no man in his religious character, that all reli gious bodies should be treated by the State tqually a; d alike, and every Church have a clear stage and no favour. So tar as Popery is concerned, I am beginning, to be suspicious of carrying this theory practically out not' inde à, because the theory is itself erroneous, but be- cause Popery is not a thing to which it can be applied. Popery is not simply and purely a religion; it is a great and mighty eccltsiastioal eonfederacy that desires, and aims at political pre-eminence, it is a terrible, com- pact, almost physical unity, animated by a spirit of in- tense hatred to real liberty, civil or religious. It re- quires to be held in check by law, not because its tenets are no true, but because its heart is not to be trusted; n :t because its creed is a corruption of the faith, but because its tendencies are inimical to freedom not be- cau, e it ignores this or that, Church, but because it is a power dangerous to the Slate. It will join the Dissenter in his theoretical reasoning when it is low, will applaud him for liberality in striving to gain for its own eman- cipation, when it wishes to rise, will shout at times I re- ligious liberty and the voluntary principle wi!l smile, and bow, and take everything it can, and look humble, modest, and demure, as long as it is necessary, to gain its ends but when once gained, and any op- portunity for a spring forward or upward opens, it will take either, with both force and ferocity, and care not if it crush,.in its headlong career, the simple souls that served it in its nsed. Churchmen IDlY find that after all Popery is really worse than Dissent, and Dissenters may find that an ecclesiastical establishment, though an evil, may with a Protestant Church be a less evil than stark Popery without an establishment." Well may the reverend gentleman remark, after reading the passage- This extract is invaluable. It presents the thought which we would have our statesmen ponder well. Popery is not simply and purely a religion, it is a great and mighty eccleeiastiaal con- federacy, that desiies and aims at political pre-eminence it is a terrible, compact, almost physical unity, ani; mated by a spirit of internal hatred to real liberty, civil or religious." Our ordinary reasonings and theories about civil and religions liberty do not apply to it. It does not reciprocate our toleration. Its claims ar eincompatible with our liberties. It is necessarily aggressive, exclusive, and despotic." A CALIFORNIAN WEDDING.—The Californian Alia sayo :—Maguire's Opera House in its palmiest days never contained a greater throng than last evening. Ma- dame Cuppy invited an audience to remain and witness a marriage ceremony, which would be performed by here self, she being, as teacher in a religious organisation, clothed, legally and legitimately, with the right to carry out the rite. A young couple advanced from behind the scenes, and at this novel hymenial altar they were united by a female. The ceremony was brief but im- pressive. You do solemnly swear. Abigail, in the presence," &c, "to take," &c,—our readers kUJW the formula better.than we (a bachelor) can gire it. At the conclusion the parties retired beyond the scenes, the groom not forgetting to drop a liberal amount of coin in the purse of the fair functionary who had made himself and his so happy. HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—For Indigestion, Stomach, and Liver Coin pi aiu ts.-Pei-sons sullering from any derange- ment, of the liver, stomach, or the organs of digestion should have recourse to Hollo way's Pills, as there is no medicine known that acts on these particular complaints with such certain success. They strengthen the tone of the stomach, increase the appetite, purily the blood, and correct depraved secretions. In bowel complaints, they remove all morbid humours, and soon restore the patient to sound health; nervous or sick headaches, and depres- sion of spirits may be speedily removed by these Pills. They Hre composed of rare balsams, without the admix- ture of a grain of mercury or any noxious substance and are as safe as they are efficacious. BREAKFAST.—EPPS'S COCOA.—The very agreeable character of this preparation has rendered it a general favourite. Invigorating and sustaining, with a refined and grateful flavour developed by the special mode of preparati .n applied, this Cocoa is used as the habituae beverage for breakfast by thousand who never before used Cocoa. Cocoa stands verymuch higher than ooffee or tea,' Dr. Hassall says, and 'contains every ingrer dient neceesary to the growth and sustenance of the body.' It is made simply by pouring boiling water on milk on the preparation as sold, in jib., £ lb., and lib. packets.

THE ACCIDENT ON THE SOUfn WALES RAILWAY, Another Railway Accident is reported, which, as far is can be judged from the ascertained facts, not the nost indulgent inquirer can attribute to pure mischance- On the South Wales Railway the mail train has run into a cattle train, killing the guard of the latter and three drovers, horribly maiming five other persons, and destroying a number of cattle. The force of the colli- sion may be understood from the circumstance that the engine of the mail train is said to have actually mounted iver the van in which the 'guard and the other eight persons were, and to have crushed it and one or two of the cattle trucks to pieces. But what else can be ex- pected when a cattle train is "overtaken" bv a mail train coming apparently at full speed ? The first inti- mation the driver of the mail train had of an obs'ruc- tion was from the red lights on the break at the tail of the catLle train. The cattle train was mounting an. incline, and the mail train came round a curve at full speed upon it. Such is the simple history of the affiir, and it seems one thatmight occur in the very infancy of railway travelling rather than after trains had been run. ning for nearly forty years. The accident may not be so terrible in its dr tails as that which startled the country last August n'.rcaa it, be compared with such calamities as tho collision in the Clayton tunnel, when twenty three people were killed and a great number injured, or the Kentish Town acci- dent, when sixteen were killed and no less than three hundred and twenty injured. But the importance of such events is not to be reckoned by the number of the ■sufferers. If we hear of an accident of which we may confidently say that it ought not til have happened, and that it could have been avoided by the common care which ought to be found in the management of ail rail- way traffic, then the investigation becomes a matter of public concern, in which each person who has a life to lose may properly interest himself. Now, it certainlr is a matter for serious inquiry how such a collision as this came to pass. One would think that the Abergele accident should have put all the Railway Companies in a careful mood. Then one train ran into the other without excuse, and in a manner almost unintelligible. Now we have the same<fntal clumsiness repeated* though, happily, the emptiness of both trains has mads the effects less disastrous. The first question on reading this account is how came a cattle train to be just ahead of the mail train from Milford Haven to P iddingtan ? This was, it appears, a special cattle train but is it usual to allow cattle trains, whether ordinary or special, to drag their comparatively slow length along in front of the fastest trains which carry passengers and letters aiong the line ? According to one account we have re- ceived, the cattle train had coma from Carmarthen, and had left Lydney twenty-two minutes in advance of the mail train to London. Admitting this interval of time to represent a sufficient distance between the tw > trains, i. o v d ies it happen that at one particular point tfrey are close together without the person in charge of either train having the slightest knowledge of it? It. appears that it was left to the discretion of the guard of the cattle train to shunt the train at a certain point, and on the correctness of his calculation depended the fate of every human being both in his own train and in that which was behind him. The explanation of the mishap is that the rails were slippery from frost, and that the weather was foggy but surely each Rsilwav Ciynpany hAs rule3 made expressly to guard- against such contin- gencies, and when a train is found to be moving more slowly than it was expected the first duty of the person in charge of it is to signal to those behind. But we should be sorry to see public indignation directed against any subordinate, whether living or dead. In these things the general management of the Company is in fault more than any particular man. It is the the duty of those who control the traffic to allow for human weakness, and to take measures acc irdingly. The man in actual charge of a train or the railwav servants almg the line may be tired or careless, but with good regula- tions the possible evil con.-equences of their errors may be reduced to a minimum. If the simple expedient were adopted that no train should pass a station until the preceding train had passed the next station in ad- vance, the danger of such collisions as these could be entirely removed. The time may soon come when Parliament will interfere to regulate the principles of traffic, to lay down and enforce such rules as may insure the safety of travellers. — Times.

TILE COSUIICKCTAL CONGRESS AT BERLIN.—The Com- mercial Congress has voted a resolution, the ohj ct of which is a fundamental reform 01 the Kng.<r duties uy the abandonment of the protecive system. On the iron question the same body bas determined to ma utain the present statu quo until Belgium, France, and Austria sha!! have promised reciprocity. It has likewise voted a resolution with a view of reducing the hours of labour on Sundays. Tug SEW CONSTITUENClES.-Of the fi58 seats, not fewer than 2HO are uncontested-that is, they will fa'L without a struggle, generally into the hands 01 the former possessors, and althou.ith it it is difficult to estimate the forces and dispositions of the new element in the con- stituencies, still there seems to be little doubt that a preponderant number of members in the new House will wear familiar names. It may be interesting, in passing, to note that the uncontested scats are, principally those for the counties, and are thus distributed: England, boroughs 77, counties 100; Scotland, bnronghs 11, counties 19; Ireiant, boroughs 11, counties 42—in all 260. 1 lie majority of the contested seals, on the other hand, are those for the »ioronehs; they are thus distri- buted England, boroughs 234, counties 87; Scotland, boroughs 18; counties 12; Ireland, boroughs 29, counties IS-total, 3M. PARLIAMENTARY VICISSITUDES.—It is a remarkable fact, and one which forcibly illustrates the vicissitudes attendant upon party warfare, that of all the Parliaments which have been elected under the suffrage conferred by the Act of 1832, only one has been dissolved by the Minister who summoned it. The first was called by Earl Grey,.and dissolved by Sir Robert Peel; the second was called by Sir Robert Peel, and was dissolved by Lord Melbourne the third was 'called by Lord Mel- bourne, and dissolved by that Minister; the fourth was called by Lord Melbourne, and dissolved by Lord Russell; the fifth was called by Lord Russell, and dissolved by Lord Derby the sixth was called by Lord Derby, and dissolved by Lord Pa.merston the seventh was called by Lord Palmeiston, and dissolved by Lord Derby; the eighth was called by Lerd Derby, and dissolved by Lord Palmerston the ninth was called by Lord Palmerston, and will be dissolved by Mr Disraeli. MR. MILL AND AIR. BKAIJLAUGH.—In reply to a letter of Mr S. W. Burton, Mr Mill acknowledges subs ri&ing to the Bradlaugb fund, and vindicates it on the plea th#S the change which haj been made in tbe constitution of Parliament will be a comparative failure unless tbe opinions and feelings of the working classes are repce- opinions and feelings of the working classes are repce- sented in it; and because the persons representing thos« opinions and feelings, who seem likely to obtain seats «a the new Parliament, are far less numerous than I thirafc they should be." Thereupon Mr Barton writes to Mc Mill:—"Dear Sir, —With reference to your acknow- ledgment of my question as to your subscription to tbe elcetioll fund of Mr Bradlaugh, I inter therefrom that you were perfectly awaie that Mr is a confirmed Atheist. 1 am at a loss to undestand how Mr Bradiaugti could 'represent the opinions and feelings of the working1 classes or bow the presence of such a person in the new House of Commons could help to raise or sustain its moral tone. I must leave the public to judge from this of your own representation of tbe opinions and feelings of the working classes."
