GEN TLEMEN,—I have been requested to offer my- self as a Candidate for the Representation of Cardiganshire by gentlemen of such various shades'of political views, and from so many different districts, that I can no longer hesitate to place my services at your disposal.. The Conservatives having determined to disturb the seat of a gentleman fitted to represent your countv, alike by his position, his great personal worth, and moderate views, will, I believe, be the means of inducing all classes to sink minor differences, and prove by their votes that Liberal Cardiganshire will be represented by none other than a Liberal. For many years past I have been identified with nearly every Measure of Progress" in Glamorganshire, and the active part which I took in assisting to bring about the present Representation of that county is, perhaps, the best proof that I can offer as to the sound- ness of my Political Opinions. I have great confidence in the wisdom and integrity of Mr Gladstone, and, if elected your Representative, would give an independent support to a Government formed by him. Holding the views I do upon Religious Equality, I cmnot but approve of Mr Gladstone's proposals res- pecting the Irish Church, and feel convinced that the adoption of his policy will strengthen the Church in England and Wales," be conducive to the dignity and welfare of England, and the peace and prosperity of Ireland. Although a staunch Nonconformist, my Candidature is in no way connected With the Liberation Society. Experience has proved that it is the duty and interest of England to abstain as far as possible from interference in the internal affairs of other nations. Wi hout impairing the efficiency of the Public Service considerable reductions can, I think, be made in our National Expenditure and you may rely upon my active support being given to all well-considered measures of Retrenchment and Economy. County Rates have become such a serious charge, that I feel strongly the necessity for the Establishment of County Finance Boards, thus removing the present anomaly of Taxation without representation. The great question of the Education of the People must be considered by the New Parliament; and I am not without hopes that useful legislation will be possible without offence to the religious feelings of any class of our fellow countrymen. Cardiganshire now has the inestimable advantage of Railway Communication. This presents facilities for the development of your mineral wealth, which have not hitherto existed, and I trust that my commercial connections may prove of some advantage in furtherance of this branch of your native industry. Having had considerable experience in public business I venture to say that your Local Interests would not suffer in my hands. I have the honour to be. Gentlemen, EVAN M. RICHARDS. Brooklands, Swansea, August 18th, 1868. To the Burgesses of the Borough of Aberystwyth. GENTLEMEN, for the honour you have done me in voting in my favour, at the recent Municipal Election, I feel it to he my duty to return my sincere thanks, and I do so with very great pleasure. Should my life be spared it will be my constant endeavour to serve you according to the beat of my ability, as member of the Town Council; and believe me, Yours faithfully, RICHARD JONES, Marine Terrace. To the Independent Burgesses of Aberystwyth. GENTLEMEN, it becomes my very pleasurable duty to return you si nearest thanks for your great kindnes3 in electing me to represent your interests in the Town Council. I will endeavour, to the utmost of my ability, to merit the trust reposed in me. Again thanking you, I am, genfemen, Your faithful servant, JONATHAN PELL. Belle Vue Royal Hotel, Aberystwyth, November 4th, 1868. To the Burgesses of Aberystwyth. GENTLEMEN, please to accept my sincere thanks, G for the honour and high position you enabled me to occupy at the poll, in the election of Town Council on Monday last, and that for the fourth time. I can assure you that it shall be my study to promote the interest of the town to the utmost of my ability. I am, yours obediently, PHILIP WILLIAMS. November 5th, 1868. To the Burgesses of the Borough of Aberystwyth. GENTLEMEN, I beg to return you my most cordial thanks, for electing me to the honourable position of being a member of the Town Council, and I hope that by a strict and impartial adherence to my duties, for the interest of the town, no one will ever have to regret the confidence placed in me, Your most obedient servant, DAVID WILLIAMS. November 4th, 1868. To the Burgesses of Aberystwyth. GENTLEMEN, I desire to offer my heartfelt thanks to those Burgesses who have given me their active support in the late Municipal Eiection, the con- tinued confidence of whom I shall esteem, and it will be my chief endeavour to retain. And to those Burges- ses who did not give me their suffrages this time, greatly on account of the lateness of my canvass, and which was unavoidably only a partial one, I beg their acceptance of my cordial acknowledgment for the ex- pression of kindly feeling which has invariably been accorded me aud finally, I assure you, that whether in the Council or out of it, my constant aim shall ba to promote, with all my power, the welfare and prosperity of this, my native town. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your faithful servant, C. RICE WILLIAMS. M.D. Aberystwyth, Nov. 3rd, 1868. WANTED, a GENERAL SERVANT. Apply 1y letter, prepaid, to F. G., care of Mr P.

Yorke, on the body of John Davies, butcher, who had died from taking chloroform, ad- ministered by a surgeon. The jury returned a verdict to that effect, and exempted the surgeon from all blame. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF MERIONETH. GENTLEMEN",—In announcing myself as again a Candidate for the honour of representing you in Parliament, I beg to declare my adherence to the principles which first obtained for me your confidence and approval. By the Reform Act of last year, the passing of which I cordially suppored, the Electoral Franchise has been extended to large numbers not previously in the enjoy- ment of it, and from the new as well as from the oil electors I confidently hope for support. As regards the great question of the Irish Church, which must first command the anxious attention of the new Parliament, I am of opinion that its anomalies may be corrected, and many important modifications effected in its organization, without having recourse to the sweeping measure proposed for its total disestablish- ment. It appears to me that such a course would but tend to throw undue influence into the hands of the Roman Catholic Priesthood of Ireland. I can but view with concern the Ritualistic tenden- cies occasionally manifested in the Church of England, and I shall be only too ready to support any judicious measure of legislation, calculated to prevent all such innovations. The important question of National Education will doubtless occupy at an early period the attention of Parliament, and any well conceived scheme on that subject will receive at my hands the most earnest consideration. Every measure of real progress, consistent with the maintenance of our constitution in its integrity, will have my cordial support. I am an advocate of the strictest economy in the Public Service, consistent with its efficiency. Our local interests are identical, and I need scarcely add that they will, as heretofore, receive my closest attention. I hope soon to have the pleasure of waiting on each elector in person, and meanwhile I have the honour to be, Your faithful and obliged servant, W. R. M. WYNNE. Peniarth, September 14th, 1868. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF MERIONETH. GENTLEMEN, having twice contested this county, I again come forward in compliance with a requi- sition signed and sent to me by upwards of 1,400 registered electors, forming a large majority of the present constituency. If elected, I shall support the political creed of the great Liberal Party, of which that eminent statesman, Mr Gladstone, is the talented and trusted leader. That support will be based upon my conviction that there is no other public man who posses-es the same high and pre-eminent qualities for statesmanship as that distinguished politician, and on the fact that during the time he was Chancellor of the Exchequer no less than Ten Millions Sterling per annum of the public taxes were taken away, and Thirteen Millions of the national debt paid off; while under the present Gov- ernment the expenditure of the nation has increased by the enormous amount of Three Millions a year, and is still increasing, notwithstanding a diminishing revenue. With regard to the Anglican Church in Ireland, I consider that its mission as a State Church has sig- nally failed, and that it ought to be Disestablished, especially as its existence is looked upon by the Irish nation as a monument of conquest and ascendancy, and is a constant source of irritation to Six Millions of the population of that country. That there is abundant ground for the disquietude that exeats on the subject, is shown by the Report of the Irish Church Commis- sion, just published, which states that, amongst other enormities, there are in Ireland 119 parishes which do not contain one member of the Established Church ex- cept the officiating clergyman and the parish clerk- that there are 575 parishes which contain each less than twenty members of that Church- -and that £ 250,000 a year are received by clergymen, whose several flocks number under forty householders. The report adds, that a Bishop lately deceased had received E887,000 from the Church Revenues now proposed to be dealt with. These and other startling statements of the evils and abuses of the Established Church in Ireland, as laid bare by that report, are so glaring and of such magnitude that no other remedy can be applied to them than that contemplated by Mr Gladstone's measure. Financial Reform, and the re-adjustment of Taxa- tion on a just basis, have become pressing National necessities and much of the Social and Commercial prosperity of the Country will depend upon the adop- tion of a searching and thorough economic Administra- tion in all departments of the executive Government. The Education of the Masses has now become a vital question, and as Ignorance is the parent of Crime, and an uneducated Democracy is a source of perpetual danger, the means of acquiring knowledge should be extended to all classes alike, and practical education placed within the reach of the poorest child in Her Majesty's dominions. To the more advanced of our youth of every creed the universities should be open, and the governing power of those great National insti- etutions should not be confined to those who can sub- scribe to the Thirty-nine articles. The increasing importance which the question affect- ing Capital and Labour has assumed will demand the early attention of Parliament. I consider the lower middle class, or in other words, the working men, to be the source of all the wealth and the power of the nation, and I hold that every measure calculate 1 to add to their comfort, and to raise their social position, should be supported by every true representative of the people. There are other questions, such as Poor Law Reform, the Suppression of Vagrancy, the Licensing System, the Game Laws, County Financial Boards, the Rate- paying Clauses, and the Re-distribution of Seats, that require to be dealt with by Parliament, and which shall receive my earnest attention, if by your favour I shall have it in my power, as a member of the Legisla- ture, to take part in the consideration of these and other great questions. I have the honour to be, gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, D. WILLIAMS. Castle-Deudraeth, 1st October, 1868.

District Election Intelligence.
District Election Intelligence. FLINT BOROUGHS.—A meeting has been held at St. Asaph for the purpose of trying to induce Mr Hugh Jones, of Maesmynon, to contest the boroughs with Sir John Hanmer. We hope Mr Jones would be wise enough to refuse the foolish request which was to be made to him. RADNOR BOROUGHS.—Mr Haigb, a Conservative, has withdrawn his candidature, and Mr Green-Price, the Liberal member, is in undisputed possession of the seat. CARMARTHEN BOROUGHS.—After being held for above a quarter of a century by the Liberals, the boroughs of Carmarthen and Llanelly are contested by a Conservative, Mr Morgan Dalrymple Treherne, partner of Nevill and Co., of the extensive copper works, Llanelly. E. M. RICHARDS, ESQ, AT LLANARTH.—A corres- pondent writes:—A grand meeting of "the friends of the Liberal cause was held at Llanarth, on Friday, Oct. 30th, at six in the evening. Long before the hour, the place was literally crammed, and scores were ob- liged to return home, as there was no possibility of getting admittance. The chair was taken by D. Evans, Esq., Frondolau. The first resolution—" That Cardiganshire cannot be properly represented other- wise than by a Liberal," was proposed in a pointed and telling speech by the Rev. E, Jones, Llwyncelyn seconded by the Rev. R. Thomas, Penrhuyalod. Mr Richards, the Liberal candidate, was next called upon to address the meeting. Such outbursts of applause greeted him on his rising, that unmistakably proved he was among his friends, and that he was the favour- ite candidate. His address was so effective and mas- terly, that some of his opponents said afterwards, I wish he was Mr Vaughan." The next resolution— That having heard Mr Richards's political creed, we deem him a fit and proper person to represent us in parliament, and pledge ourselves to do all in our power to return him," was proposed by Mr Henry Richard, who happened to be at Aberayron at the time, and kindly, at the request of Llanarth friends, favoured the meeting with his presence. His address will never be forgotten. Old Cambria cannot be too proud of such a noble son. I am glad the Merthyr and Aberdare friends are bent on honouring them- selves by sending such a worthy man to represent them in Parliament. The resolution was seconded by Mr J. H. Jones, Aberayron, in an able and humorous speech. At the close of the meeting, the voters were requested to come forward and sign their names. A great number readily did so, of whom many had been set down as doubtful and neuter. I have no hesita- tion whatever in stating that the parish of Llanarth will vote two to one in favour of Mr Richards-had they their own way, more than eight to one would go with him. An equally successful meeting was he! I at Mydrhyn on Satarday.—J.M.P. CARDIGANSHIRE. A- lull has followed the triumphant meeting of the 26th ult. in the upper part of the county, but the committees on both sides are busily engaged in their preparations for the fight. Mr Richards has attended two or three meetings at Llanrhystyd, Llanarth, Llan- gwyryfon, &c., &c., since our last, where he was en- thusiastically received by crowded audiences. He has also visited some of the Llandyssil district, in company with Sir Thomas Lloyd, and attended an educational meeting at Cardigan, where his reception was of the most enthusiastic character, the horses being taken out of the carriage, and Mr Richards led in triumph into the town. The district committees at Llandyssil and Cardigan confidently announce a Liberal majority in both places. Arrangements have been made for meetings at Penllwyn, Eglwysfach, and the district adjoining Gogerddan, where Mr Richards will be engaged can- vassing, in company with Sir Pryse Pryse, during the present week. The mining districts are now also being canvassed for the last time with unexpectedly favourable results, many additional promises being received, and those who had previously promised being found firm and unshaken, in spite of several visits from the Tory agents, who have traversed whole neighbourhoods without obtaining one vote. One of the most zealous among them, the other day, said, with great simplicity, to a friend, It is desperately up-hill work, but I think we are right." He was truthful, if a trifle sanguine. CONSERVATIVE OPPOSITION FOR SOUTH SHROPSHIRE. A Conservative meeting was held at Shrewsbury on Saturday, when it was decided that Colonel Corbett, a landowner in this county, and well known to many of our readers as the former proprietor and driver of the Machynlleth and Barmouth coaches, should contest the Southern Division, with General Herbert, against Mr Jasper More. In his address Colonel Corbett says be is strongly attached to the constitution and institu- tions of this country, and more particularly anxious to maintain in all their integrity the Protestant Succession as by law established, and the Union of Church and State, under which, by the blessing of God, we enjoy freedom, both of speech and action, and liberty of conscience, unequalled in this or any other age." He shall resist to the utmost of his power" Mr Gladstone's attempt to uproot and destroy the Protestant Church in Ireland," but support any wise scheme" of reform. He ad- vocates abolishing the Malt Tax, and placing the impost in a reduced form upon beer. The Liberals, we believe, will bring forward a colleague for Mr Jasper More, and, as the gain on the registration is large, there cannot be any reasonable doubt of the success of both the Liberal candidates. CONSERVATIVE OPPOSITION FOR SHREWSBURY. On Tuesday the addresses of two Conservative candidates for Shrewsbury were issued. One is Mr James Figgins, a London type founder, and the other, Mr Douglas Straight, who dates from the Temple. Both of them will oppose the disestablishment of the Irish Church, and both mention Lord Stanley with approval, but neither address contains any profession of confidence in Mr Disraeli. Mr Figgins says he is sprung from the people, and that he recognizes their practical friends on the Conservative side of the House. MERIONETHSHIRE ELECTION. A general committee of delegates from each polling district has been held at the general committee room at the Ship Hotel, in this town, in order to receive information from each place how matters stand after the very energetio canvass by Mr Wynne and his agents, and by those landlords who support him and who have personally waited, with him, upon their tenants, in order to induce them to vote for him. It is highly gratifying to Mr Williams's friends and supporters to find that the result has in no way damaged their cause. In fact Mr Williams's pros- pects are now much brighter than they were a fort- night ago, and there is every hope that he will poll a larger majority than was ever hoped by the most sanguine Liberal. Mr Wynne appears to be most energetic still in can- vassing the tenants of those Conservative landlords whose tenants, everyone knew before the contest came on, would be obliged to vote with their landlords, who- ever the Tory candidate might be. Their votes there- fore will in no way affect the calculation of the Liberal party. It is now well known that Mr Wynne has, even with many of those, utterly failed to secure promises. There is a series of public meetings to be hem I throughout the county, commencing on the 7th, at Festiniog Bryncrug on Monday, Aberdovey Tues- day, Dolgelley Wednesday, Bala Thursday, Corwen Friday, Corris Saturday. These meetings will be attended by Mr D. Williams, Mr Charles Edwards, M.P., Mr Samuel Holland, and many other influ- ential gentlemen who have promised to attend. CARDIGANSHIRE ELECTION.

Dear Sir,-Eleving attended each of your public meetings which have been held in this neighbourhood for the purpose of hearing yow wws oa the great questioa of the day, pre* ferring to take your own statement tb(' f tlat of otherg 011 your ehalf, I Yas. not surprised to note at your meeting last evening your indignant repudiation of the anonymous and under-handed attacks on your personal character and religion. to which yon alluded, followed by your manly under- taking to meet any fair challenge which inijlit bo addressed to you by any one who would not shrink from ^ifming his name thereto. It cannot he disguised. and you will be among the first to admit, that large and powerf-il as the Dig- senting or Nonconformist section of the Liberal party in Cardiganshire may be, there is nevertheless a very influen- tial and increasing portion of the same party who are warmly attached to the Established Church, who at th. present tima have asked themselves most anxiously and sought to discovec from your public statements what your real view on the fol- lowing question is, viz.:— Should Mr Gladstone or any other person introduce a measure in the future House of Comons for the purpose of bringing about the disendowment and disestablishment of the Church of England and Wales, as at present established there (not in Ireland,, would you vote for or against such a measure ? I ask you to state what your present views are on the sub- ject. it was state j last niLTht by one of the most talented and able of your friends that he considered any enquiry into the private religious opinions of a candidate for a seat in Parliament was simply an impertinence, but, wi'h all due de- ference to the opinion of that gentleinau, I regret I cannot agree with him, although no one feels stronger than myself that every man should be entitled to hold his own religion free from any outer influence, and that no man should have to suffer temporal harm because he holds this or that belief conscientiously; but it seems to me that a person who airug at the position of representing his fellow men before tha world can no longer refuse to declare what his opinions are (if any he has. and but few are without some) on such a sub- ject. If he truly holds any particular opinion on such a sub- ject at all, and his faith therein be firm, he will surely not deny his opinion or conceal it. Whether therefore the reli- gion of a public man be that of Catholic, Protestant, Noncon- formist, Dissenter. Jew, Unitarian, Trinitarian, Deist, Socinian. or anv other of the numerous sects that have served towards the one great end of all in one way or ano- ther, more or less. so long as his own faith be sincere thereiE, his profession thereof can work no shame to him half so cut. ting as his concealment or denial thereof in order that he may be all things to all men. I ask you therefore as distinctly this my second question- Are you a member of any known communion, sect, or denomi- c ni nation of the English or any other church? and if so, which ? I have heard you publicly state on more than one occasion that vou are a Nonconformist, but I am satisfied that you will not deny that the term so used is generic only and gives no real information on the point. Should you deem it right to reply to the questions I have above stated, as I feel very little doubt you will do in re- demption of your pledge last night publicly given to that effect, and as you have so strenuously asserted in public on more than one occasion that you do not wish to come for- ward on any false issue, but to forward the interests of tha great Liberal party by all legitimate means, and by them only. you will enable many independent voters in this countv who are intelligent enough to be Liberal, yet too in- telligent to be satisfied with empty phrases only, to form a sound judgment as to which of the candidates presented for their choice is the fittest to be returned as their member, and your cause, the great Liberal cause, is not likely to be weakened thereby, whatever the result may be to you per- sonally on this occasion. I should add that it is my intention to forward th-'s letter and any reply you may think proper to make thereto to the public press for publication. I am, dear sir, your very faithful servant, TV. S. CKEALOCE', Evan Richards, Esa., Committee Room, Aberystwyth. Mr Richards's Committee Room. Aberystwyth, October 28th. 1823. Dear Sir,—Mr Richards will not be here until Tuesday next. Immediately he returns, your letter of this morning will receive his attention. Yours faithfully, EVAX DAVIES. W. S. Crealock, Esq., Solicitor, Aberystwyth. Aberystwyth, Nov. 3rd, 1863. Dear Sir,—My absence has prevented an earlier reply t(j your letter of the 27th ult. I am not at present prepared to vote for the Dis-establish. ment and Dis-endowment of the Established Church in England or Wales, and I have on more than one occasion stated so publicly. You press the question of religions belief much farther than is right, but lest my silence should be misconstrued, I beg to say that I am not and never have been a communicant in any church, but I have been for the last sixteen years and am now a member of the congregation worshipping-at Mount Pleasant Baptist Chapel, Swansea. It would be neither decent nor delicate for me to say much of myself in connection with this subjeot, but I think the subjoined letter from the Rev. Chas. Short, M.A., as to my relation to the above church and congregation (of which he was the pastor from the time of my first connection nnt'1 very recently), will be sufficient to satisfy any religious scruples of yourself or the Electors of Cardiganshire. Yours very trulv, (Signed) EVAN M. RICHARDS. W. S. Crealock, Esq. P.S.—Copy of Mr Short's letter is enclosed; you will ot course publish it with my letter to you. Sheffield, Sept. 9th, 1868. To E. M. Richards's Committee, Aberystwyth. Gentlemen,—I have this morning received an enquiry from one of your number as to Mr Richards's connexion with my late congregation in Swansea. In reply, I beg to say that Mr Richards and his family were for many years, and are still, regular members of tha congregation at Mount Pleasant Baptist Chapel. From my intimate knowledge of Mr Richards, I believa him to be a man of enlightened views and Christian convic. tions. He always shewed a warm interest in everything connected with the progress of the church and congregation. He has a clear strong brain, and was able often to give ng valuable advice, and he was always ready to help us with liberal contributions from his purse. He has often and often taken the chair for us at our missionary and other meetings; in short, he never refused us a service which it lay in his power to perform. I earnestly hope Cardiganshire may do itself the honour of returning Mr Richards to Parlia- ment. I have watched his career as a public man for many years, and my belief is that he has great capacity for publio business, that he is a thoroughly conscientious Liberal, and a Nonconformist to the back bone. Mr Richards is held in the highest esteem by all denominations in the town, I am, gentlemen, yours faithfully, CHAS. SHORT, M.A., Sheffield, (formerly of Swansea.) Aberystwyth, 4th November, 18&3. Dear Sir,—I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your lettef of the 3rd inst., and to thank you for the straightforward replies you have been good enough to make to the questions contained in my letter of the 27th ult. It was never my intentioa to presume to sit in judgment on any views, whether political or reliqious, which you might personally entertain, nor do I now wish to do so, my object having been solely to elicit distinctly for my own information, and for others interested in the subject, what those views might be, for the prevention of false issues being raised on either side, and to afford you a fair opportunity of declaring your unreserved opinion, if so minded. Therefore, without making any further comment on the matter of your answers, on which each person can form his own judgment, I think all will agree with me in thanking you for them, and in feeling that, as:regards your honesty and consistency of pur- pose, you are worthy of the confidence of those whose support you are now seeking. I am, dear sir, yours very faithfully, WM. SWAIN CREALOCK. Evan M. Richards, Esq., Committee Rooms, Aberystwyth.

"A SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT.—THE Cii-il Service Qazette has the followinginere are very few simple articles of food which can boast so many valuable and important dietary properties as cocoa. Wliile acting on the nerves as a gentle stimulant, it provides the body with some of the purest elements of nutrition, and at the same time corrects and in- vigorates the action ol the digestive organs. These beneficial effects depend in a great measure upon the manner of its preparation, but of late years such close attention has been given to the growth and treatment of cocoa that there is no difficulty in securing it with every useful quality fully de. veloped. The singular success which Mr Epps attained by his homoeopathic preparation of cocoa has never been sur. passed by any experimentalist. Far and wide the reputation of Epps's Cocoa has spread by the simple force of its own extraordinary merits. Medical men of all shades of opinion have agreed in recommending it as the safest and most beneficial article of diet for persons of weak constitutions. This superiority of a particular mode of preparation over all others is a remarkable proof of the great results to be obtain- ed from little causes. By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine properties of well-selected cocoa. Mr Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctors' bills. It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet that a constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist every tendency to disease. Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around us ready to attack wherever there is a weak point. We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well :QÃiâ1 with pure blood and a properly nourished framo."
