TO THE MUNICIPAL ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF CARDIFF. GENTLEMEN, ——— AN Address has been issued by Mr. JOHN BATCIIF.I.O'R, wherein he declares his intention to offer himself as a Candidate for a Seat at the Council Board, when the Vacancy occasioned by the Retirement of Mr. Alderman EVANS, shall be filled up. 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. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, Cardiff, 14th Sept., 1818. JOHN EVANS. TO THE MAGISTRATES OF THE COUNTY OF GLAMORGAN. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, A VACANCY having occurred through the resignation of Mr. Whittington as COUNTY SURVEYOR, I beg most respectfully to announce myself a Candidate for the Situation. As the great desideratum is to have a sound practical man, one no way connected with Tradesmen who may be competitor-) for work to be done, as such I offer myself, having been brought up as a Builder under emi- nent masters, with a thorough knowledge of Architectural Drawings, Specifications, the Letting of Work, and the various customs of Measuring. Having had thp 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 A rchitects, under whom I have been engaged I trust 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. Cardiff, July 1st, 1848. MY LORDS AND GENTT.KMEN, riIHE Situation of COUNTY SURVEYOR having JL become vacant by the resignation of Mr. Whitting- ton, I most respectfully solicit the honour of jour Vote and Interest, whenever his Successor is to be"appointed. I have been extensively engaged as a Builder and Sur- veyor for many years, and can refer to many Gentlemen, in and about this neighbourhood, who have honoured me with their commands upon various occasions. Should I be favoured with your support, 1 pledge the eXNcise of my best cXNtions in order to rlo credit to your choice. I have the honour to be, My Lords and Gentlemen, Your most obedient and faithful Servant, DANIEL THOMAS. TO THE MAGISTRATES OF THE COUNTY OF GLAMORGAN. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, ALLOW me, through the medium of a Public Address, to announce my intention of becoming a Candidate for the vacant Office of COUNTY SURVEYOR, by the resignation of Mr. Whittington. I presume to offer myself to your notice from having been extensively engaged, professionally and practically, as an Architect and Surveyor, together with general employment in Measuring and Valuing different artificers' work in this and the adjoining counties. I am thereby enabled, without extraneous assistance, to prepare Fi- nished Designs, Plans, Practical Working Drawings and Details, Specifications and Estimates, when required, for all Public llmllling., Bridges, and other Works, toge- ther with Illustrated Reports, and to superintend the Erection and Repair of the same, &c. &< The different Testimonials and papers of my personal and practical ability, which I shall have the honour of presenting before the Court, of pliblic and private Build- ings, County Bridges, &c., erected in different counties, which I have had the superintendence of, w II, I doubt. not, ensure your approval. Should I be successful in obtaining the object of my hopes, no effort on my part shall be wanting to realize the expectations of those who confide in me.

MURDER AT LEEDS.—On Sunday night last a most cruel and deliberate act of murder was perpetrated at Hunslet, one of the townships comprised in the borough of Leeds. The victim is a young woman named Esther Inman, between 16 and 17 years of age, who worked in the flaxmill of Messrs. W. B. Holdsworth and Co., Honslet; and the murderer is a young man named Thos. Malkin, about a year her senior, who was employed in the same mill as a wood-tuiner, or maker of bobbins. DREADFUL MURDERS IN TIPPEKARY.—CLONMEL, OCT. 9. IlItelligence of three shocking murders have reached Clonmel this morning. A person named Redmond Bryan owed to a Mr. Ash, who is described as an unofficiating clergyman of the Roman Catholic persuasion, having property at Ashford (the lands at Rossadriad), about a mile from Bansha, which is 16 miles from Clonmel, a small arrear of poor-rate, and a collector named Dalton placed three keepers in the house of Bryan for the pur- pose of disposing of some stock to pay off the arrear. On Sunday morning at daybreak six or seven armed men, whose faces were blackened, made their appearance on the land; they were seen by one of the keepers (a man named Regan), who retreated into the house for safety. The men, who knew him, did not wish to injure him they therefore placed him at a distance from the house, and then entered it. They murdered one of the other two with the butt ends of their guns a third man re- treated up a chimney, and one of the miscreants fired up the chimney and shot him dead, the bullet having gone in through the lower jaw and out at the top of the head the murderers then returned to the place to which they had conveyed Regan, and shot him through the heart, The coroner has gone to the barrack at Bansha, where the bodies of the murdered men are lying, to bold an in- quest upon them.

EDUCATION IN WALES.
EDUCATION IN WALES. OUR readers will, perhaps, like to see the resolution adopted at the late meeting of the Societies, at Mer- thyr, with reference to the strange delay which has occurred in the appointment, by the Committee of Council for Education, ot" an Inspector for Wales. We understand that the Archdeacon of LlandafF, in transmitting this document to the Secretary, pointed out, in strong terms, the injustice which has been done to the Principality by this omission, which has been frequently brought to the notice of tIn Com- mittee, as well by himself as others interested in the same cause. The answer which we also furnish in our columns, is much to the same purpose as those which have been previously given. We do, however, trust that ere long something will be done, and after all that has bsen said and written, Wales put on an equality with England in this matter. We give an extract from the National Society's Monthly Paper, bearing on ths saina subject The subject of education in Wales continues to engross much attention; bit its progri-ss i< now retarded by the Committee of Council requiring reports from their inspec- tors before schools can bent-fit by the recent .Minute-i of Council, while no reports hail been made beeati e no inspec- tor has been appointed. The Society has hid several com- munications on this subject. The following extract is taken from a letter written by a warm friend to education in Wales Have you any means of pressing on the Committee of Council the justice of appointing an itispceter for Wales? All advantages derivable from the Minutes in Council are suspended here from this neglect; no pupil teachers, &c. no grant'! to meters. <Hic. — Arid this in a district where we are said to require aid most, and oil which there ha.sb.tena costly commission and a ponderous report, and yet we are left worse off t'lan all others!" The new Training School at Carmarthen is to be opened on the 24th October, when a scrtnou will be p-eached :it St. Peter's Church, Carlllll then, by the Lord Bi hop of St. David's. After divine service, bis lordship and the mem- bers of the Welsh Education Committee will visit the Training Institution and partake of a coal collation, &c. Invitations are about to be addressed to the leading nobility, clergy, and gentry to attend on this interesting occasion, so important to the furtheimice of Church Etmcatinu in Wales. The following summaiy account of the pio. ee hngfoftbe Welsh Education Committee has just been ptinteu for the information of the contributor* to the Welsh Education Fund The Welsh Education Committee is a branch of the National Society for promoting the Education of the Poor in the principles of the Established Chuich it was formed in the year 1840. To this Committee have been entrusted, in the whole, since that period, in donations and subserip- tions, f6309 19s.3d.; and the annual subscriptions to which they may look in future may be stated a3 over £ 2,000. IG In addition to the above sum, the Committee have re- ceived, out of the National Society's Special Fund for pro- moting education in the manufacturing and mining districts, £ 1000, for the purpose of granting exhihitio s to train school master 8 and schoolmistresses for the principality and £ 1500 towards the erection of the South Wales Training Institution at Carmarthen. The Committee have also been assisted by a grant of X3000 from the Committee of Council on Education to- wards erecting the Training Institution at Carmarthen. "Besides the sums above stated, a few of the original donations and subscriptions to the fund remain unpaid and a new subscription has been entered into for the purpose of providing exhibitions, to be granted to eligible candidates for admission into the Training Institution. To this fund the following sums have been already con- tributed His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales £100 (Which sum the Committee have received permis- sion to apply to the founding of all exhibition of £20 for five yeu» Her Majesty the Queen Dowager 50 (To be applied iu like manner for an exhibition of jCIO for the same period). Bishop of St. David's 75 Viscount Emlyn, M P 75 The Hon. G. liice Trevor, M P 100 Richard Blakemore, Esq M P 100 D Saunders Davies, Esq., M. P. lOJ Howel Gwyn, Esq., M.P 100 Sir Thomas Phillips 100 Rev. Robert Miles 25 W. O. Brigstock, Esq 25 St. David's Church Union Society. From the funds thus placed at the disposal of the Welsh Education Committee, a sum of £2500 has been appropri- ated to the erection of the Institution at Carmarthen, in addition to the grant of £ 3000 from the Committee of Coun- cil, and dEt500 from the National Society. It is expected that a further sum of from JE1500 to JE2000 will be required to meet the whole outlay on this undertaking. The Insti- tution is erected for sixty students and a resident Principal and other officers. The Committee have granted exhibitions to a conside- rable number of masters and mistresses, out of the graut of jEtOOO placed at their disposal by the National Society for that purpose. These teachers have been trained respectively at the National Society's Institutions at Westminster; St. Mark's College, Chelsea; Battersea; and W hitelanrls, Chelsea. The larger number of these are now engaged in schools^ in the principality while the remainder continue at the Institutions to complete their period of training. "Another object to which the funds of the Welsh Edu- cation Committee have been applied, is that of organising schools. Two masters have for some time past been engaged in this work one in North Wales, and the other in South Wales. The Committee have also been assisted in this part of their labours by the National Society's defraying half the salaries and expenses of these masters. t- With a view to the establishment of a Training Institu- tion in North Wale., for 30 pupils, the Committee have in- vested a sum of jEI500 in the public funds, which will be available for that purpose when the plans can be matured and carried into effect. Further benefits have also been extended to North Wales, in the appropriation of jEtOO towards the expenses of meetings ofsehoot-teachets for instruction, in the diocese of St. Asaph; and of C400 towards training teachers, viz., JE200. placed at the disposal of the Bishop of Bangor for that purpo-e, and C200 at the disposal of the Bishop of St. Asaph, -1 The Committee have also been at some necessary ex- pense for clerks, printing, stationery, advertising, &c., in raising the fund. It should, however, be added, that at present the Committee are at no expense for an office, se- cretary, or clerks. The work of the Committee is done at the National Society's oflice, and by their officers. The whole of tho funds at the disposal of the Welsh Education Committee, to the end of the present year, are appropriated. Some portion of the future annual subscrip- tions to the fund will be applied to the support of the Insti- tion at Carmarthen, and similar assistance must be given to the Institution in North Wales when it is established." P S. For further particulars respecting the plans and views of the Welsh Education Committee persons may consult the Report of the National Society for the year 1847. The following is a copy of the resolution passed at Merthyr, with the reply to it subjoined :— At a meeting of the Clergy and Laity, held at Merthyr, on Tuesday, the 26th September, 1848, the Bishop of Llan. daflf in the chair,-it was resolved, "That the Venerable, the Archdeacon of LlandafF, as Secretary to the Education Board, be requested to make an urgent application to the Secretary of the Privy Council on Education, asking for the immediate appointment of an Inspector of Schoolirin Wales; and to represent that the delay in making this appointmeut is retarding the progress of the educational movement in the Principality, and injuriously atfecting the efforts of individuals in that direction." Committee of Council on Education, 2nd October, 1848. ■WELSH INSPECTORSHIP. Reverend Sir,—1 have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, dated the 27th ultimo.

ITRIAL OF MR. SMITH O'BRIEN.
TRIAL OF MR. SMITH O'BRIEN. AFTER a tedious, protracted, but strictly impartial trial at Clonmel, Mr. Smith O'Brien has been found guilty,—the jury accompanying their verdict with an emphatic recommendation to mercy. He was very ably, and with splendid ability, defended by Mr. Whiteside, QC., whose speech we consider one of the most brilliant displays of forensic eloquence and legal acumen on modern record. The learned gentleman had no considerable disagreement with the Counsel for the Crown as to the facts of the case; but con- tended that the circumstances which were arrayed in evidence against his client clearly showed that his object was to avoid being arrested, and that he had not an intention to commit a treasonable act. We often hear Advocates make strange assertions in their addresses to juries; and we can readily pardon Mr. Whiteside for labouring to establish the only tenable ground of defence upon which his client could hope to rest; but, now that the trial is over, and the ver- dict has been returned, we may say, without prejudice to Mr. O'Brien's ense, that his defence is all moon- shine. What conclusion can be drawn from his acts, and speeches, and professions, and, above all, his journey to Paris, but that he, in conjunction with o:hers, intended to effect a revolution, to p'unge the country in civil war, and to dismember the empire? He positively announced a rebellion beforehand (says the limes), and invited the people to arm with that design. "How is this met He had only done «o for effect. It was a mere demonstration to brinir ont the 8pirit and strength of his party. Agair, it is not disputed that Mr. 0' Brien and his confederates dis("\1ssed in Dublin last summer (lie timp, the occasion, the manner, the arma- ment of a projected insurrection. Again, he went a tour of agitation with se,-eral plain-spoken confederates he delivered himself very strongly as to the necessity of a revolt, aud also stood by while his companions went into the pike and rilie part of the business. All this, it is assumed, was only an emphatic way of talking, and did not imply a serious design. By and by Mr. O'Brien ap- pears on the List closing scene, 8urroulllI"d by II consi- derable number of m"n, more or less arinftl. He invites them to resist the poliee and the troops. These untoward appearances are easily disposed of. As Mr. 0' Hf'ÍPIl never had any serious intention of rebellion, much less has he now. He is ollly standing on the defensive. Before long MI". O'Brien is found peremptmily demand- ing brea.1 for his men, and earls and horses for the COII- struction of barricades. The bread he pa)s for, and t ikes very meekly a puint blank denial to his other de- mands. This proves that either his resolution or his influence was not very strong. He barricades the high way against her Majesty's troops, but lets them through when he had ascertained that he was not himwlf thc 011- ject of their mardl. This incident, which looks *o Parisian, is pleaded in his favour as positively proving the absence of revolutionary design*. He writes to a mining company, telling llietn he is attempting a revolu- tion. He did not mean what he said. He had no such intention, though he declared that he had, aud acte,1 as if he had. His worils were a falsehood, dnd his army a hoax. He meant just nothing at all by either the one or the other. Finally, he and his army see a body of police- men approaching. They spontaneously allack the police, pursue them to a house, and besiege them till beaten oil". It is nothing but self-preservation. Mr. 0' Bripu never had intended a collision with the police. He had an- nounced a collision, and now to all appearance was ful- filling his promise, but the announcement was a f10U I igh. and the fulfilment was an accident. Mr. O'Brien was the victim of a run-away tongue, and of the chapter of accidents. lie spoke in excitement, and acted by force of circumstances. He said he would rebel, but did not mean it; he did rebel, hut it was contrary to his wishes. There must be some limit to human credulity. Look- ing at the whole tenor of Mr. O'Brien's life for the last few years, and judging of his intentions by his actions, no reasonable man can have any hesitation in saying that the verdict of the jury was perfectly in accordance with the circumstances of the case, and that Mr. O'Brien is guilty of the very serious crime of high treason. And what a prodigious fool the man has been Of high birth, lofty lineage, ample fortune, moving in good society, and thus to have allowed himself to have been made the dupe and vic- tim of the Irish priesthood and the scoundrels who exist on the foul proceeds of Conciliation Hall agita- tion I Why, the man deserves to be well horse- whipped for his consummate folly. "The happiness of an honourable, ancient, and Royal family" has been destroyed by his infatuated course; and his highly respectable relatives must struggle on here- after with broken hearts through a cheerless exist- ence, labouring in sorrow." On Monday morning, the Lord Chief Justice Blackburne passed sentence of death on the prisoner in the following terms :— "William Smith O'Brien, after a long, patient, and! laborious trial, a jury of your countrymen have foundl you guilty of high treason—their verdict was accompanied! by a recommendation to tha mercy of the Crown—that, recommendation, as is our duty, we shall send forward too the Lord Lieutenant, to whom, as you must know, ex- clusively belongs the power to comply with it. It now remains for us to perform the last solemn act of duty which devolves upon us, and to pronounce that sentence by which the law marks the enormity of Jour guilt. 3n(1 aims at the prevention of similar crimes by the example and infliction of a terrible punishment. Oh! that you would reflect upon that crime and dwell upon it-with sincere repentance and remorse. Oh! that you woulll regard it as it is regarded by every, rational being-that. you would feel and know that it is really and substanti- ally as repugnant to the interests of humanity, to the precepts and spirit of the Divine religion we profess, as it is to the positive law, your violation of which is now attended by the forfeiture of your life. The few words you have addressed tj the Court forbid me (I say it with the greatest distress) to proceed any further with this subject. It now only remains to the Court to pronounce the sentence of death. (Here his Lordship and his brother judges put on their black caps, aud the act causui a perceptible sensation in the court on every one but the- prisoner. His Lordship proceeded with much solemnity),. —That sentence is, that you, William Smith O'Brien,, shall be taken hence to the place whence you came, ami be thence drawn on a hurdle to the place of execution* and be there hanged by the neck until you be dead, anti that afterwards your head shall be severed from your body, and your body severed into four quarters, to be- disposed of as her Majesty may think fit. May the Lordt have mercy on your soul." It is rumoured that the extreme penalty of the law will not be enforced, but that the offender will be for ever removed from the excitement of public life. APPROACH OF THE CHOLERA. THE General Board of Health have issued an excel- lent notification respecting the recent Act for the removal of nuisances and prevention of diseases. it will be found nearly entire in our fourth page and although readers in general but seldom peruse long articles, we seriously and anxiously hope that ALL. will carefully go through the one to which we are- now calling attention,—beginning at the beginning, and mastering every sentence. '1 he valuable inform- ation which it will afford will amply repay the reader for his trouble. It is said that a few instances have occurred in this country in which people have fallen victims to this mysterious epidemic. This should rouse us to a sense of our duties—impel us to take the prescribed and necessary precautions,—the rich and intelligent to make sacrifices of their time and their money, and the poor of their filthy habits and prejudices, putting their houses in order, and being prepared to meet any visitation which may befal us. A metropolitan journal observes on this subject,—"Cleanliness is within the reach of all; wholesome food, prompt and intelligent attendance, simple medicine, and vigilant care, can be secured to almost every patient in almost any district by the hearty and zealous co-operation of the authorities and the inhabitants. The Board of Health does not recommend any isolation of the sick,, or any hospitals or pest houses. The sufferers are to- be treated at their own homes and in their own fami- lies by a simple organisation of resources, by a timely attention to symptoms, and by a proper provision of those simple remedies which experience shows to be almost certainly efficacious if employed without delay.. Well does the notification observe, that the improve- ments in cleanliness and wholesomeness now recom- mended may be reasonably expected, 'not only to check the progress of the disorder, but to shorten its duration, and to prove not temporary, like the occa- sion which called for them, but attended with lasting benefit. Boards of Guardians are the mediums of communica- tion with the country which the Central Board of Health, has chosen; & on Saturday last, Mr. Farnall the Poor Law Inspector of this district, addressed a few obser- vations to the Guardians o( U<is Union, a summary ofl which will be found in another column. We under- stand that it is intruded to have the town inspected,. and the state of the various localities reported upon,, with the view of having the place thoroughly cleansed.. (W 111 it be drained ?) In the meantime, parties need be if no unnecessary alarm; for it is now fully established that no contagion whatever accompanies the epidemic,—a circumstance in the highest degree consolatory and reassuring. H It is no doubt true, that when one person has taken the cholera another may take it. The atmospheric conditions which pro- duce one case may produce another; just as when our pavements are covered with ice and snow, if half- a-dozen men fall dotvn and fracture their ankles, there is, of course, a probability that others may fall down and do the same. But as to any direct communica- bility of the accidents from one person to another, such a thing is no more likely in the case of cholera than in the case of a broken leg. Both cases, indeed, call for similar conduct and similar precautions for prompt and learless attention to the suflerer; for greater carefulness on our own parts, and for the immediate removal of all those dangeroijs ajencies which brought the misfortune to pass."
