Having had the superintendence of some of the best works in the Building Line, and trust I shall have an op- portunity of showing my Testimonials from Noblemen, Gentlemen, and Architects, under whom I have been engaged I tvuqt my experience will enable me duly to appreciate Workmanship and Material of every des- cription. Should I have the honour of being appointed, I pledge myself that no exertion on my part should be wanting in the due discharge of the duties devolving upon me. I have the honour to be, My Lords and Gentlemen, Your most obedient Servant, PAUL SHARPE. Merthyr, 13th July, 1848. TO THE MAGISTRATES OF THE COUNTY OF GLAMORGAN.

MILLS' usual visits to this County are in February and August. References to some ot the most respectable families in the County can be given. JOHN KAYE'S PILLS, demonstrated to be the best Family and General Medicine in Use.—The Tri- umphs of this medicine in conquering Disease are truly won- derful. There is scarcely a town, hamlet, or village in the United Kingdom, in which there are not families who bear willing testimony to the surprising efficacy of WOKSDBLI/s VEGETABLE UESTOitATIVE FILLS, prepared by John Kaye, Esq, of Dalton Hall, near Huddersfield. Nothing can be more adapted to Family use than these Pills. Being war- ranted free from Mercurial, Antimonial, or other Miueral substance, they may be taken with perfect satety, alike by the Infant and the Adult. Their peculiar excellence consists in their Blood-purifying effects. When taken into the system they remove obstructions, and cause the fluids to flow in their natural order. They free the Stomach from crudities and vitiated secretions, and, consequently, aid digestion and re- lieve the Head frOID oppressiveness. Perfectly assimilating with that vital principle, the Blood, a war of extermination is commenced against everything destructive to health hence the wonderful cures, hundreds of which have been publicly recorded, of Hoils, Sores, Ulcers, Scurvy, Scrofula, and all Cutaneous Diseases. And at the same time that this Medicine operates thus externally, a most important work is accom- plished internally. The Blood being charged with a health- giving power, the Liver immediately experiences its influence, and, all acrimonious bile being carried out of the system, it is enabled .19 perform, all its functions with tone *nd energy. Indigestion, Flatulency, Palpitations of the Heart, Nervous Irritation, and all other Symptoms arising from the irregular action of the system, are removed in an incredibly short space of time. Let Kaye's Worsdeli's Pills be but fairly tried, and it will be acknowledged that it is not possible adequately to speak of their great efficacy. Thousands upon thousands who had long suffered acutely, and in uuraberless instances given up as Incurable, have been restored to that greatest of all blessings, sound health. A list recently issued contains about Three Hundred of the most remarkable Testimonials ever published. The Preprietor wishes it to be particularly borne in mind, that while the Adult members of Families will find the use of these Pills supersede tbe necessity of calling in a Medical Ad- viser, and operate as Curatives, they are also invaluable as Preventatives of those Diseases to which Children are subject. One or two of these Pills (according to the age of the Child), administered in a little jam or preserve, will be found effec- tual in suppressing Fever, in clearing the Lungs, and conse- quently removiug Coagb in aiding Digestion, and in impart. lug Vigour and Activity to the whole Constim ion. CAUTION. To prevent fraud, the Honourable the Commissioners of Stamp, have ordered the words WOltSD ELL's PILL3 by JOHN KAYE," to be engraved on tbe Government Stamp • and as further protection, Mr. Kaye's arms, and a fac-siimtle of his signature, are printed on the Directions wrapped rouud each box, and to imitate which is felony j and the public are requested to obtain the Pills from their Agents.

This, at least, is premature, as my Father has not RESIGNED; when he does, let me assure you, it is my determination to solicit your Suffrages and, if Elected, it will be my study to follow the same independent course he has pursued for the Thirteen Years he has sat at that Board, whereby he has received so many reiterated assurances of confidence at your hands.

TO ADVERTISERS The "CARDIFF AND MERTHYR GUARDIAN" presents a most desirable medium for giving GENERAL publicity to their views, as this is the ONLY CONSERVATIVE JOURNAL published in the Counties of Glamorgan and Brecon|; while it has also an extensive and rapidly-increasing cir- culation throughout the County of Monmouth. The Proprietor has hitherto spared neither time, trouble, nor expense in furnishing the public with the amplest details of all occurrences of interest in the three Counties above named and in a circulation second to no other News- paper in the Principality or Monmouthshire, he has the proud satisfaction of finding that his efforts have been kindly appreciated. He purposes continuing, with una- bated earnestness and diligence, the course which has met with such unequivocal marks of public approbation, —assuring his supporters that while matters of Local Interest engage the principal share of his attention, his weekly sheet will be found to contain a well-condensed Summary of Foreign and Domestic Intelligence, Literary and Scientific Notices, with all other information gene- rally fouud in well-conducted Papers.

IRELAND.—The Rose steamer, from Waterford, Capt. Burgess, which left that city on Tuesday afternoon at five o'clock, & arrived in Bristol on Wednesday evening, brings intelligence that an outbreak was made on the Police at Carrick, about ten miles from Waterford, on Monday morning, by a mob of the peasantry, variously estimated to be in numbers from 4,000 to 12,000, many armed with muskets and pikes. It was reported that the barracks were entirely destroyed, one policeman shot and four or five wounded. Immediately the intelligence reached Waterford the marines were disembarked from the war steamers in the harbour, and with detachments of the military at once marched to Carrick. Other accounts speak of an outbreak in Kilkenny, that the mails had been stopped, the transport of corn and other articles iuterrup- ted, and that in an affray between the peasantry and the police several of the latter were killed and wounded. But little alarm, however, appears to have been exciied in Waterlord, it being considered that there will be little or no difficulty in putting down such outbreaks as these. After the attack on the barracks at Carrick, the insur- gents quitted the town, and returned to the mountains. There had been an attempt to destroy Granay Bridge, about two miles from Waterford, but it had failed.

HOGGART, NORTON, and OAKLEY, at the Mart, ou FRI- DAY, October 27, at Twelve, by direction of the assignees. THESE highly Important and most Valuable IRON JL WORKS possess peculiar advantages, which can scarcely be equalled in the kingdom, and are situate about nine miles from Bridgend and Neath, with a horse railway for conveyance of the produce to Porthcawl, and they will shortly have the advantage of the South Wales and Lynfi Valley Railways, now in progress. They con- sist of three blast furnaces and cast houses, two blast engines, capable of blowing four blast furnaces, three re- fineries, foundry for railway chairs, with steam-engine and two cupolas, two winding engines, seventy coke ovens, two capital dwelling-houses, workmen's cottages, &c., and the abundance of the minerals would justify the erection of a much larger number of furnaces. The Works have been recently very considerably enlarged. They are in complete repair, and their present capability amounts to 15,000 tons of pig iron per annum, with the means of converting J20 tons per week into refined metal, and 70 tons per week into railway chairs. The quality of the iron made is valuable, both for foundry and forge purposes, uniting the fluidity of the Scotch with the strength of the Welsh, and exceeding the Scotch in de- flexion before breaking 50 per cent. The beneficial in- terest consists of leases, the unexpired term of which vary from 55 to Ti years. The extent of the mineral ground is 946 acres, of which there are 326 of valuable blackband iron ore, and the whole of the ground abounds with coal and argillaceous ironstone. The royalty upon the greater part of the minerals, including the blackband. is only 6d per ton, and the fixed rents are almost nominal, May be viewed on application to Mr. CHARLES HAMPTON, late Manager of the Works and full par- ticulars had of Messrs. SEW ELL and FOX, Solicitors, 51, Old Broad-street; of Messrs. WHITTINGTON and GRIBBLE, Solicitors; and EDWARD MANT MIL- LER, Esq., Official Assignee, Bristol; at the Castle Hotel, Neath Bush, Swansea Castle, Merthyr Tydvil; Bute Dock Hotel, Cardiff; Beaufort Arms, Monmouth at the Mart; and of Messrs.

COWBRIDGE CHURCH. THE PARISH CHURCH OF COWBRIDGE JL affording in its present state accommodation inade- quate to the wants of the Parishioners, especially the poorer portion of them, and likewise standing greatly in need of general improvement, the Inhabitants, at the recommendation of the Venerable the ARCHDEACON of LLANDAFF, are attemptiug such a restoration of the fabric and re-arrangement of the sittings as may give the Parish- toners, of every degree, the opportunity of assembling in the House of God. In furtherance of this endeavour the Kate-payers have agreed in Vestry to a Rate of Two Shillings in the Pound, which is expected to produce about £25ù. Although this sum, considering the circum- ,tances of many of the Parishioners, is so liberal as to testify their strong attachment to the venerable fabric, and their anxiety to promote its usefulness, it is yet quite insufficient to defray even the necessary cost of re-pewing and re-paving the Church. r The Committee appointed to carry out the contem- plated improvements, therefore, feel that their only hope of success rests with the Societies connected with the restoration of Churches, and the liberality of general Subscriptions. They make, then, an earnest appeal to all who are in any way interested in. or connected with, the Parish of Cowbridge—whether by Property, by Patronage, or by associations of kindly feeling towards the seat of their early Education-to assist the Parishioners in their en- deavour to build up again the breaches in this House of God. The Committee fervently trust thus to be enabled to re.pew the Church substantially and uniformly, aud to remove the many deformities which have been permitted to obscure its original architectural beauties. Subscriptions will be thankfully received by the Min- ister and Churchwardens, on behalf of the Committee; a List will also be opened for the entry of Subscribers' Names, at the National Provincial Banks at Cowbridge, Cardiff, and Bridgend. ° Cowbridge, Sept. 13th, 1848.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE —Paris letters of Friday evening confirm the statement that Austria had accepted the mediation of France and England. M. liastide (Minister for Foreign Affairs) announced that fact in the Assembly 011 Fridly afternoon. The following are the conditions Austria will grant liberal institutions to Lombardy and Venetia. who will be allowed their own administrations under the sovereignty of Vienni, like IIunwary and the other pro- vinces of the empire.—The French government accept" these conditions, in which they will be supported by all but the Ited Republicans and ultras. A private letter says—"So confident are the French Go- vernment that the atl'airs or Italy will be pacitieallv arrayed that they have ordered that the military preparations" in progress in France with a view to thnt question be sus- pended. O11 the proceedings of the Frankfoit Diet on the 5th instant, which naturally suggested apprehension, I cm only repeat the assurance 1 conveyed to you on Friday from an unquestionable source, namely, that the nIFairwillb* satisfactorily terminated. The JOllrnal des Debuts sees in the matter nothing, perhaps, menacing for the f.lennallleacc of Euiope, but a possibility of its endangering that of Ger- many." Paris is wonderfully tranquil. The weather continues to be magnificent, and during very many years the fdte at St. Cloud has not been so well attended as it promises to be this year. The accounts from the departments, too, are more satisfactory. Two other insurgents of June were tried by court-martial on Saturday. One of them, na ne,1 Lefevre, a carpenter, deliberately shot a persol1 quietly passing in the street, because he had cried Vice Ilenry V. He was sentenced to hard labour for life. Another, named Lebas, 1111 olficer of the Republican Guard, charged with having surrendered the barrack of the Tournelles to the insurgents without opposing any resistance, was condemned to nve years'im- prisonment. The approaching election of three representatives for the city of Paris occupies much of the attention of the journals of Monday. The most prominent of the candidates were Prince Louis Napoleon, M. Emile de Girardin, Marshal Bugeaud, and MM. Pasey, Benjamin Delessert, Acliille Fould, Ed nond Adam, and Roger (du Nord). On the probable success of those persons, respectively, the journals speculate ac ording 10 their lurty predilections; but the strugg'e would, it was believed, be between Prince Louis Napoleon a id MM. Pasey, Delessert, Knile de Girardin, alld A. Fould, The partisans of Prince Louis expressed confidence, not only in his electioll as representative, but as President of the Republic. Humour stated, however, that a motion would be made in the National Assembly 011 Monday to interdict his pi esence in France. His late visit to his uncle in Paris was. it seems, permitte/I, in order to "avoid a s.:ene," but the Government WdS resolved upon refjsing him lene to remain in the country even if he "ere elected. The most singular fact connected with these elections is. that there "as not up to Monday at noon a "Red"candidateinthe(ietd. Prince Louis Napoleon has written a letter, dated London, to his u iele Jerome, an- nouncing his intention to take his seat in theNationat Assembly, in case he shall be elected a representative. Private letters regret the probability that the electoral struggle in ay renew political di.-sension in Paris, and the more so, because trade has positively improved, not merely in this capital, but in mo-t of the manufacturing districts. One proof of the latter fact is to be found in an order piveu by a great manufacturing establishment at Guise (in the department of the north) to purchase all the wool oifered for sale in the neighbourhood of Avenue." A letter from Calais state* that the demand for tulle (lace) had become so brisk that many of the Riig.ish operatives e nployed in that branch of manufacture in that neighbourhood, and who ha 1 been discharged, had been recalled. Letters from Toulon of the 5th instant, state that the pre- parations for the expedition which was to sail from Mar- seilles were being continuel with the greatest activity Warlike stores, projectiles of every description, and ammu- nition, were embarked on the 4ih and 5th 011 hoard the five steam-fri!tte,¡ which were to form part of the expedition intended, it was believed, fur Venice. At .Marseilles the orders countermanding (lie expedition had not arrived 1111 the 5th, when the expeditionary corps, consisting of the 20th and 23id Regiments of Infantry, and d •tac'iments of ar- tillery and engineers, were reviewed by Geoer.d Gazau, whu wai to command them. Accounts from Alg-ers, of the 2nd instant, announced that some agitation had manifested itself iu the western ports of the Regency, and two battalions had been accordingly embarked at Algiers for Orau. Letters from Lyons, of the 8th instant, announce that a club of Montanuards had been established in that citv, which is renularly attended three times a week by at least 2,000 opeiatives. At the last meeting an historical es<ay was read in praise of celebrated Communists who have appeared since the commencement of the world, whimsically comprising Socrates, Plato, Cabet, Considerant, andProudhon. The reading of the composition was ter- minated amid crios of Death of the aristocrats!" The commission appointed to prepare a report as to the choice of a colony to which to transport the insurgents of June, has unanimously resolved that Algeria is the tittest place of tiansportation. Letters received iti Paris from the departments announce pirtial disturbances, and complain of the menacing attitude assumed by the operatives. The miners employed at Rive- ie-Gier, in the neighbourhood of Saint Etienne, had struck work for the purpose of obtaining all inaease of wages aud 11 diminution of the hours of labour. They refused to work upwards of nine hours a day, and demanded 4f. 25c. (3s.6J.) for that time. The Attorney-General of the district haviug remonstrated with them, they returned to their employment on an understanding that their demand < should be taken into consideration. At Lille some alarm has been created by numbers of uuemployed operatives parading the towD, demanding work. At St. Scrvan and St. Malo the popu- lation rose to prevent an English sloop from loading corn and potatoes, which were purchased for the English market, but the gendarmes and the coast guard having marched against the rioters, whilst the National Guard refused to act, the quays werecieared at the point of the bayonet, and the sloop having reeeiwed her cargo proceeded 011 her voyage, SPAIN.—Accounts from Madrid, of the 6th instant, state that General Pa*ia, bad resigned the Government of Catalonia, in consequence of ill-health, and that he would be most probably succeeded by General Cordova. The Carlist force at present in arms against the Government in the province was estimated at 8000 to 1)000 men. GERMANY. -The Kul.er Zeitung of the 9th instant states that there are great hopes that the Schleswig arm- istice will be accepted at Frankfort. The Nitional Assem- bly passed their unfortunate resolution, without making themselves acquainted with the details of the case. They seem to regret the error which they have committed, and of which the almost unanimous censures of the press makes them painfully sensible. The German papeis continue to express in the strongest terms their disgust at the indecent hurry with which their representatives blundered over a question of such vital importance as that of the Schleswig armistice. SCHLESWIG HOLSTEIN.—The last numbers of the llamburgher Correspond/mt contain a series of letters from Kiel, all of which are tilled with passionate abuse of Prussia and of Count Moltke, the intended President of the Schles- wig-Holstein Government. Prussia is accused of victimiz- ing Schleswig-Holstein and making that unfortunate coun- try an arena for her reactionary intrigues. It seems strange, but it is, nevertheless, a fact, that the Schleswigers, who curse the armistice, take as violent a delight in the execu- tion of some of its conditions. The suspension of the blockade is triumphantly noticed by their papers, and the return of the prisoners of war was hailed with demonstra- tions of frantic joy by the sentimental inhabitants of Rends- burg. The statements of an Altona correspondent of the Kolner Zeituny lead us to suppose that the united Schles- wigers and Holstein jrs are happy to profit to the utmost by the < infamous" armistice, but that they are resolved upon continuing the war, and "relying on their own strength." It would appear that the metal of these gentlemen is being put to the test, for the Prussian and Federal troops are ou their march ho.newards, and will have left the Duchies in a few days. ITALY.—The Gazetta di Roma, in its official part. re- peats its formal contradiction of the malignant rumours" (aa it terms them) which are in circulation relative to the supposed conclu-iou of secret conventions with Marshal Welden. "The Government," concludes the organ of the Pontifical Government, is responsible for its actions to the deliberative councils, and confidently accepts not only this responsibility, but also the moral responsibility due to the sound and general public opinion of Italy, because it never has, and never will, stoop to the commission of acts injuri- ous to our independence or dignity and the honour of the Italian name." Other accounts from Italy are lamentable. Leghorn has again been the theatre of a sanguinary revolt on the 2nd and 3rd instant, provoked by certain measures taken by the authorities, who in their proclamations prohibited the as- semblage of more than three persons together. A young man having defaced oue of these proclamations, w^s> wounded by a gendarme. A general rising immediate took place, and a conflict between the insurgents au" *he- armed force ensued, which continued during several }pnrs,, and which ended to the advantage of the mob. Ttw gover- nor and the garrison retired into the citadel, and^be people, remained int possession of the city. The troapa w.er^. sai»l to have had sixty killed and the citizens only six, Letters have been received from LeghojrtH. ofi the 6th instant, detailing the events of the 2nd and 3rd. lit appears that the commissioner Cipriani found it necessary to order out four pieces of artillery, and after repealed discharges of grape the people were overawed and otdei was restored on Sunday evening. The troops remained out on duty, but so little command did their officers hold over them that several of them joined the mob, and others delivered up their arms. The consequence was, that Cipriani ordered the troops who remained together into the citadel on Sunday morning, and the city was in point of fact delivered over to the people. Not a single robbery, however, took place, nor had any persons, residents or strangers, reason to complain of injury or insult. The Genoa Gazette of the 6th instant contains the follow- ing, dated Leghorn. 4tli" The palace of the Governor has been abandoned, and the people are sole masters of the city. As the absence of a centre of action might be the occasion of disorder, the inhabitants appointed in the even- ing, before the Town-hall, a Committee to watch over public security until the return of the deputation sent to Florence. The Commissioners chosen were Messrs. C. Venzi, A. Petrarchi, G. La Cecilia, R. Roberti, and A.. Sgaralino. The latter, who had returned from the country two days before, declined accepting for some private mo- tives. The Committee immediately published a letter from the deputies, stating that they bad been obliged to, with several hours at Pisa for the departure of the train, and re-, questing their fellow-citizens not to be uneasy if their return was delayed. In the meantime they had, they said, thought proper to expose the real situation, of affairs to the Governor of Pisa, requesting him to retard the departure of the troops which might be sent against Leghorn, and that that functionary had acquiesced in their demand. The Committee afterwards took measures to compel the bakers to furnish the regular quantity of bread, to procure suns and ball cartridges, and to provide quarters and food for the soldiers of the legions intended tor Venice. The inhabi- tants were forbidden to quit the city. The Committee" however, gave regular permission to certain persons whose' presence was not indispensable. It subsequently he d a conference with the superior military authorities at which Colonel Bernardi, the Commander of the Civic Guard, Commander Tonum, and the Commander of the Artillerv Ponticelli, we,e present. It was agreX b/common a?-' cord that a proclamation should be published announcing the evacuafon of the forts by the troops, Znd th.irReturn t0 MI .,re8Pect've barracks. The night has passed tran- quit y; the people guarded the barricades with the greatest vigilance. Sixty soldiers were set at liberty this morning, who were imprisoned for having refused to fire on the people; many of them have refused to return to their reei- ineutgi the announcement that 4(;0 soldiers, with tome ■ — pieces of artillery, had arrived from Pisa, caused some 6*' citement. It appears thit General Torres had consented take the command of the armed citizens in case any colli»;0'j should ensue. The Committee which was to have waff the return of tbe deputies, dissolved itself this morninfii'"l consequence of General Torres having invested hiUlSe I with the supreme authority. SICILY.— We read in the Courrier Marseilles of 8th: A t nine o'clock yesterday morning the stcamer° Her Britannic Majesty, the Porcupine,'Captain Rober, entered our port. It had on boatd an Envoy from the rrtO vi-ioiial Government of Sicily, who goes to EnglatidtO solicit the intervention of the English Government in alf.iirs of that country. \Ve learn by letters by this stea»,ej that fro n 10^00 to 12,000 Neapolita n, disembarked Messina from nine steamers, and had an encounter with.1 # Siciiians, in which the latter h" I the advantage. During the action a shell fell on the Gladiator, and killed a Illso, On the 1st instant the steamer Merlin, Captain Wise, o 11 iti way from Malta for N^iles, touched at .Messina, lie/6' ports that that city was in a state of the greate-t aAltlltlO I and that all the English merchants had placed their ost precious ellects on board the Gladiator. The Merlin e"' tered Naples on the 4th, *t two o'clock in the afterno" The Porcupine, which left Naples 011 the 5th, at two o'd?c in the afternoon, is the bearer of despatches from Sir Parker for the English Government, These « have been remitted to the English Consul in our city- A results from what precedes thit the Fiench and Eng'1^ squadrons, which were in the road-tead of Messina or i» 'JL vicinity, did not oppose the passage of the Neapolitan tro?P| nor the combat which ensued. The two squadroos tained a perfect neutrality iu the contest between belligerents." A US L'RIA.—A courier arrived at Pesth on the 1st i0#,j' with the intelligence that the Hungarians had susta"0?, another defeat at the Rotnan breast work* between Teir»er' and Jarek. The ba tie commenced ou the 28th Auf?u'( and was continued on the 29th, the Hungarian Ministef War, Messaros, commanding in person. On the 2Stl> '■" Hungarians had the advantage, but on the 29th they driven back with great slaughter. Tremerin aud Jarek into the hands of ihe insurgents through the treachery Lieutenant Mathe, and were gi\en away to the llames. ( Hungarians Bed to Altkar where they were rallied by l f Field Marshal Count Bechthold. The insurgents taken the olfensive. Messaros, who left the nrmy on 28th for Peterwardein, narrowly escaped falling '"to power of the insurgents. Kossuth, who announced the ■1* in the Hungarian Chamber, spoke in bitter terms of4' treachery of some of the Hungarian officers.
