TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF MERIONETH. GENTLEMEN,-In compliance with the Resolu- tion-passed at the Meeting of the Liberal Party in this county, held this day, I come forward as a Candidate for. your Suffrages at the Election of a Knight of the Shire, which must shortly take place. In expressing my unfeigned sorrow at the sad event which has so recently deprived you of a peculiarly able and trusted Representative, in the person of your late Member, I know I shall have the sympathy of all classes in the county. His great services in the cause of Political and Social Progress, for so long a period, will not readily be forgotten, and will yet bear their fruits. I thank you for the confidence you place in me, and should you return me as your Member, I hope always to ttierit it. I have always been a warm adherent to the Liberal Cause, and believe that the Administration of Mr Gladstone, to which I should give the heartiest support, '18 the one best calculated to govern the nation, and to adapt its institutions to the exigencies of the times. I am strongly in favour of Legislative Action on those Objects which the Government has undertaken to deal With next Session. The difficulties attending the settlement of the Land Question in Ireland must be boldly and promptly con- fronted, and I will give my unqualified support to any Pleasure which will deal in an equitable spirit with this Pressing subject. The question of National Education is also one which tttust be pressed on the attention of Parliament, and shall receive my most careful consideration. The great vice of Intemperance, so closely connected ^ith the want of a more extended system of Educat'on, 18 one which also requires immediate and effectual dealing With. I am of opinion that the temptations held out to the people by the vast number of places at which Intoxi- 0 bating Liquors are sold can only be effectually removed »y the restriction of the Grant of Licences within the Jarrowest possible limit, and I shall advocate the .prohibition of the Sale of Intoxicating Liquors on avs. I am in favour of a Measure which shall give Protection Jo the Voter in the Free Exercise of the Franchise, and I ^Qow of none so likely to effect the desired result as the which I shall, therefore, support. v.. The position of the National Church will, no doubt, long, be brought under the consideration of Parlia- ment and though I am of opinion her work would be setter done were she unfettered by the State, yet I do Jot think the question of the Welsh Church should be **ealt with separately from that of the Church of England. With regard to Local Interests, I can only say that a 'evidence of more than forty years in this county may be Jjjnsidered as some guarantee for an acquaintance with *tem on my part; and should I have the honour of being turned as your Representative, it shall be my object to fctomote them to the utmost of my ability, both in and -t of Parliament. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your most obedient Servant, SAMUEL HOLLAND. Glanwilliam, Tanybwlch, 23rd December, 1869. >0 THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF MERIONETH. IjENTLEMEN,—I have received from an influen- tial Meeting of ELECTORS a Requisition to offer jjjyself as a CANDIDATE for the honour of Represent- you in Parliament, to fill the vacancy caused by the ^tented death of your late Member. ascribe the honour thus conferred upon me to an vPproval of my political opinions, and the conviction that !vshall, if elected as your Representative, support those JJ^ciples of true Conservatism, and of enlightened pro- ?fess on which, I believe, the greatness and safety of our OUntry depend. .As being in accordance with those principles, I should J^Pport all legislation tending to the welfare and advance- S^t of the various classes of the Community; while I «j°vild oppose to the utmost of my power the attempts of extreme politicians who would subvert the laws of Kj*Perty, and overthrow those institutions which have ^•herto been the glory of the English Constitution, I'l OIlxiously desire to see the IRISH LAND QUES- t settled on the basis of doing equal Justice to ^?*T>LORD and TENANT. rejoice that the subject of the EDUCATION OF PEOPLE has become a pressing NATIONAL QUES- I should be happy to assist in the accomplish- t of what good men of all parties must earnestly re-the extension of the means of knowledge to all w*'8 of the Kingdom. I hope the time will never come religious teaching shall be excluded from our Public Y*o°1B. t* should be glad to see a Measure introduced for the 1t11alisation of the POOR RATES. I know of no reason y yaluable property such as Mines and Quarries of a j^in description should be exempt from local taxation, should support such judicious reduction of the l^onal Expenditure as would enable the Government to the Assessed Taxes which press unduly upon the yicultural and other Classes of the Country. to* also support all just and practical measures ^C]| ^PP1"683^011 great evil of INTEMPER- interest which I have taken in promoting the in- ^^Uction- of Railways into Merionethshire, and other '0f«?Ures, will I hope be a proof that I h»ve the prosperity *he County at heart. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your faithful Servant, j>, CHARLES J. TOTTENHAM. Berwyn, Llangollen, ec. 29th, 1869. MERIONETHSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS.

CATTLE.
CATTLE. METROPOLITAN, MONDAY.—The total imports of foreign stock into London last week amounted to 8,588 head. This being the holiday market of the year, the supplies of both Beasts and Sheep were limited, and the trade ruled very quiet. Of foreign stock the arrivals to hand were very moderate but the demand was irregular, and prices tended downwards. From our own grazing districts the receipts were small, and, though there were some few very excellent animals on' the stands, the general character of the market was inferior. A few sales of good Scotch' beasts were effected at 5s. 8d., but the general top price was not above 5s. 6d. per 81b. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire we received about 620 shorthorns, Ac.; from other parts of England, about 250 of various breeds; from Scot- land, 125 Soots and crosses; and from Ireland, about 120 beasts. The number of Sheep in the pens was unusually short, though fully equal to the demand. All breeds changed hands slovdy, prices being irregular, and our quotations must be regarded as altogether nominal. Our top figure of 6s. per 81b is quite an ex- treme one, and was only realized in a few instances. Veal met a dull inquiry, on former terms; and pork was inactive.
MISCELLANEOUS.
MISCELLANEOUS. LONDON PROVISION, MONDAY.—In Irish Butter there is little or nothing passing in sales; quotations nominal. Foreign met a steady sale for the finest qualities; best Dutch 124s. to 126s. The Bacon market was very slow early In the week, and sales being pressed, Is. to 2s. decline was submitted to. At the close there was more inquiry, and the market partially recovered the decline. LONDON SEED, MONDAT.-English Cloverseed coming oat very slowly, and the few samples offering command high prices. Foreign qualities were generally held higher, but sales were made to a limited extent. White samples were very high. No change occurred in either white or brown Mustardseed. Canary- seed was quite as dear, foreign as well as English. Foreign Tares were offered at very moderate rates; Konuberg as low as SSø. to 84s. per qr. LONDON WOOL, MONDAY.—The English wool market has been very inactive throughout the past week, chiefly owing to the holidays; nevertheless there is a firm feeling in regard to prices, and there is no disposition to force sales. A fair amount of business has been effected in superior lustres and carding skins, and an increased demand has been experienced for most classes of wool. The more cheerful feeling in the yarn trade has led to improved anticipations with regard to the value of raw produce, which bid fair to be realised. Colonial wool has met a fair inanirv on fallv former terms. CURRENT PRIOBS OF BROUSH WOOL. S. d. to B. d.

THE IRON, TIN-PLATE, AND COAL TRADES OP SOUTH WALES. The ironworks have scarcely been so well employed as usual during the past week, the Christmas holidays having taken a large number of the workmen from their homes. There is a con- siderable degree of quietude evinced in the iron market just now, partly, no doubt, owing to the end of the year being at hand, but there is also a general disinclination to enter into engage- ments, many buyers being of opinion that the recent advance by Staffordshire houses was not warranted by the state of the trade. The works are now chiefly employed on American orders, and there are a few continental contracts on the books which will keep the establishments going with regularity for the next six or seven weeks. Home business is particularly quiet, very few purchases being at present made. Tin-plates remain dnll, but as stocks are everywhere decreasing, there is a prospect of an im- proved sale early next year. Steam coal proprietors are able to keep their pits in regular employ, the increase in the foreign demand being well maintained. For house qualities there is an increasing coasting sale.
THE NEW ARRANGEMENTS FOR COLLECTION…
THE NEW ARRANGEMENTS FOR COLLECTION OF TAXES. The following appears in the Oswestry Advertiser:— Oswald Buildings, Oswestry, Dec. 24th, 1869. SIR, -Will you be good enough to insert the following in the next issue of your valuable paper. I am, Sir, yours obediently, W. H- ABREY. Rnrvevor of Taxes. -1 As great doubts exist and opinions vary relative to the As great doubts exist and opinions vary relative to the mode in which Government Taxes are to be collected for the current year, that is, from April, 1869, to April, 1870, I trust you will be good enough to allow me to offer such information as I think will tend to make the matter clear to your readers. The Land Tax and House Duty have hitherto been collected in two moieties, one in October, and the other in April, and the Property and Income Tax was collected by four quarterly instalments, the first and second falling due in October, the third in January, and the fourth in April. The change is as follows:—On and after the 1st January, 1870, the various collectors will call upon each person charged or assessed to pay the whole year's Land Tax, House Duty, and, as I have pointed out above, these amounts thus falling due cover the year from April, 1869, to April, 1870, and are not as has been erroneously sup- posed a payment of twelve months' in advance. It there- fore amounts to this, that instead of a taxpayer being called upon to pay one half-year's duty in October, as heretofore, the Government allows him, him the privilege of keeping the Bftqwy in his pocket wtil JtWUftry, when for the credit so given he is required to pay the second moiety or remainder, hitherto falling due on the 20th March, in advance. This being paid, there will be no further call upon the taxpayers for Property and Income Tax, Land Tax, or House Duty until January, 1871 (unless Parliament make any alteration in the law.) There remains however, to be collected a moiety of the Assessed Taxes. This moiety will be collected early in April—the first moiety due the 20th September last has already been paid. This duty refers of course to Horses, Carriages, &c., kept between April, 1868, and April, 1869, only. There will be no new charges or assessments under that system for the future; instead, however, each person willhave to take out a licence for all horses, carriages, servants, &c., which he may keep after the 1st January, 1870, which licence will expire the 31st December of that year.

FISHING AND MINING.
FISHING AND MINING. SIR.-In looking over the Aberystwyth Times paper of the 25th instant I am a little surprised to find it con- tains a letter from some fool who has the impudence to bring my name under such common, insolent, and un- gentlemanly language; but the old saying will not die out in his time doubtless-what can you expect from an ass but a kick? However, I will try and give An Observer" a few hints and truths, which, if he can swallow, will take more horses than he is owner of to draw him from the contempt in which he is, and will be, held by the mining community at large for ever. I will again tell him, through your paper, that if he could possibly carry a stream of lead-cleaning water from London to the Land's End in Cornwall, and sink 10,000 slime pits on the way, the water would reash its destination just in colour as it would leave London, equally as poisonous to fish. With reference to Mr Whalley being mentioned in the matter, you must easily suppose that one knows as much of mineral water as the* other, and no more. As to the Pantmawr Mine Works, I happen to know as much of that neigh- bourhood, or perhaps more, than my friend" An Observer," or Mr Whalley; and I will prove to you that thousands of dead fish were taken from time to time out of the River Wye, and for a long time no salmon came ever up the Wye, by many miles as far as they did before that mine went to work. And it will take many years before that river can again boast of her former sport. For instance, look at the Rheidol River. Formerly you might begin fishing at the Ponterwyd Bridge, and upwards, and enjoy good sport: but now, and for many years past, you will find the old and the young anglers walking away of a morning some miles up the river before casting a line. Why ? Because they must first pass the River Camdwr, which, for years, brought the Esyn Hir mine water down to the Rheidol, and from that junction to the town of Aberystwyth never a fish was found to enjoy itself.' Now, since this mine has been idle for some time (especially in washing), fish are are-again beginning to swarm the little pools and streams of the Rheidol down to the highway at Ponterwyd village. Here it is con- verted into a larger stream by the Castel River flowing its waters of mineral washing, &c., so that you cannot get any fish now below the Ponterwyd Bridge, and here, I would mention, that any parties who may feel inclined for a day's or week's fishing from any part of the kingdom, can reach Aberystwyth station, and pick and choose for themselves a trap out of the Aberystwyth well-stocked yards and stables; haste off to Ponterwyd, and I will bet them, or our friend Observeri" that I can show them such sport that they scarcely ever saw before, either for river or lake angling. Surely the distance, twelve miles only, cannot detain them from coming to so beautiful and healthy mountain scenery. Again Observer" speaks of the great assumption of the mere mentioning the town now, and the town thirty years ago. I will tell him again, if he likes to hear it, shut up mining and open your workhouses and prison doors, and let the king of death come in. Who is the king of death ? Poverty. I ask, is it not impudence on Observer's" part to make use of people's names, and names of places that he knows nothing of but by reading, to strengthen his argument of contradiction. As for the town being supported by the visitors and the agriculturists of the country around. Who are the visitors ? Any mining parties amongst them? With their families, friends and relatives ? We may safely say, "Yes." Who are the agriculturists supported by, i.e. if they help to keep the town alive ? By miners. Then can yon say that it is those parties only that you look upon for bread ? and that upon good authority you, "Observer," are told that two or three thousand pounds only are brought to town by miners ? Are, you sure it is not by millers, who grind corn for the miners' pigs ? I tell you again, that the money of our mines keeps your town afloat, and keeps it from the position it formerly held, namely forty or fifty sales every winter, to keep your lodging-house keepers from starving until the dawning of another summer; not, as you ex- pressed it, a nine months' summer but scarcely beyond three months;. never four. So you must eventually coin- cide with me in praising mining, for without mining, you and your town could not long survive and flourish, as it does to this day, winter or gammer. I sat at table a fortnight ago, at a certain hotel in your town, one of thirteen. The purifying of the rivers arose between us, when the landlord (ohaiiman) said the town would so flourish to get the rivers purified for fishing and that the town cared so much for it that one might suppose we mining men to be in the minority; strange to say, out of the whole number that sat at the dinner table, twelve of us were mining engineers, and the thirteenth was the master of the house. Now, look at this, and ask yourself, or any of the town, who may be governed by common sense, and they must surely tell you, that you are most ridiculously wrong, and that mining not fishing must be the motto of one and alL S.

TOO BAD.t
TOO BAD. giu,-A friend of mine, yesterday, received a budget of papers from the secretary or secretaries of the Conference lately held in Aberystwyth, with reference to "Evictions in Wales." One of these papers, to which I wish to call your attention, is an Attodiad i Adroddiad Cynnadledd Aberystwyth" (Appendix to the Report of the Aberyst- wyth Conference). This appendix contains a copy of the report of the Commissioner of the Cambria Daily Leader: a temperately and ably-written address te the ministers and congregations of Welsh Dissenters, appealing for aid towards the Eviction Fund f' and, also, a letter copied from the Baner ac Amserau Cymry, written by him who dubs himself Y Gohebydd," emphatically, The Corre- rndent." All these papers, I presume, are sent out, by direction of the general committee, by the general secretary, Y Gohebydd." Now, in this letter fvide appendix, page 6) appears the following passage, written in Welsh:—Exactly three years ago, to these very days, I spent about a month in the cotton plantations of Alabama, amongst the slave- owners there. What we heard continually, from morn- ing till night, and from one end of the week to the other, was cursing the d- radicals of the North for their exertions in giving their civil rights to the negroes. "setting," they said, "class against class." ''Exactly, continues The Correspondent," "the same complaint is brought against us in these days, to the very letter "-yes, to the very letter-the cursing the d radicals, and au the rest of it. "Pray, by whom?—by our honourable liberal representatives for Anglesea, Flintshire, and Car- diganshire." "The Correspondent," I suppose, refers to the borough representatives of those counties. Again, The Correspondent" refers to the Legrees of Cardiganshire and Carmarthenshire-not a bad nor an improper hit; and then The Correspondent" refers to the old fogeyism," or, as it is rendered in the letters, old foggism the state of being foggy—perhaps misty— or more probably he has made use of an Americanism, or an Albama-ism: an eccentric, dull, stupid, man; a clown." Where does, The Correspondent" find this old foggism"—in "Flin'tshire, Penrhos, and Bronwydd V Now I have been too long in coming to the point. I understand the honourable member for the Cardiganshire Boroughs is a subscriber to the "Evictions in Wales Fund." I presume that the cost of printing and circulat- ing this appendix will be paid out of that fund; ergo, Sir Thos. Lloyd, of Bronwydd, will be indirectly subscribing towards circulating—-possibly by the thousand—a gross insult to himself. Ana this is published after Sir Thomas's letter of explanation, which has appeared in the papers of the Principality. This is really too bad. The general committee ought, in the name of fair play, at once to disavow the action of their secretary, if it was published in I the Appendix" without their sanction. I am, sir, your obedient servant, A LIBERAL, And a hearty supporter of the Evictions in Wales Fund.

HoLLOWAY's LILLS AND OINTMENT.—Indigestion, Dis- order of the Liver.—No fact in medical knowledge, is better established than that the chief source of all morbid states, whether of body or mind, is a deranged state of digestion, usually orginating in the liver. Holioway's Pills speedi- ly regulate this function. In cases where delicacy of constitution renders it unadvisable to take many Pills, the same healthful effects may be carried out, without debilitating, by rubbing HoUoway's Ointment thoroughly over the pit of the stomach and right side at least twice a iiay no pain or inconvenience attends this treatment. Its merits in vanquishing pain at the stomach, flatulency and imperfect digestion have been fully appreciated by the public in all parts of tV globe fct the last thirty-five j yeays.
