POWELLS, PLUM- BER, &c., MONNOW-STREET, MONMOUTH. Attendance from ten to five. Mr. L. M. has been induced to extend his route as above, in order to meet the convenience of his patients, many of whom have complained of the long distance they have to travel to meet Mr. L.

M. hopes those who intend to honour him with their confidence, will make their visits as early as possible, so that he may have every opportu- nity of rendering them perfectly comfortable before he leaves the Principality. Mr. L. M.'s method of fixing his Incorrodible Mineral Teeth (peculiar to himself), is now so well known that he need only say, it combines a sure fit, comfort in mastication and articulation, and so natural an appearance, as to defy de- tection by the closest observer. They are fitted from one to a complete set, without extracting the stumps or the remaining teeth, and can be worn upon the most tender gums with ease and comfort. They never change colour, and need not be re- moved, except at the pleasure of the wearer. Mr. L. M. being the manufacturer of the Improved Mineral Teeth, and having just completed several important improvements in the mecha- nical department, whereby a great saving is effected, is enabled to reduce his charges very considerably, so as to bring the aid of the dentist within the reach of all parties who may require his assistance.

ADVERTISEMENT.
ADVERTISEMENT. BOROUGHS' ELECTION. To the Editor of the Monmouthshire Merlin. SIR,-The Electors of the Monmouthshire Boroughs ought to know something of the intrigues that have been set on foot, and are now going on at Llanover, to prevent Mr. Blewitt, if possible, from being returned at the next general election. At first Colonel Tynte was urged, by the most plausible arguments, to offer himself as a candidate in opposition to Mr. Blewitt. Colonel Tynte having declined, like a noble-minded gentle- man as he is, to serve the unworthy purposes of the Llanover faction, Mr. John Jones, Jun., of Llanarth-the son-in-law of Sir Benjamin Hall- is summoned from Italy, in all haste, on the false pretence that Mr. Blewitt is in disgrace with his constituents-has no chance of again obtaining a n 1-1 majority of their suffrages—and that he, (Mr. Jones) by making his appearance on the scene, may be able to exclaim with Csesar, [ came -I saw—I conquered." While Mr. Jones, under these impressions, is on his way home, and before he has lime to make himself acquainted with the real facts of the case, an address to the electors is prepared for him in London, and sent down to be published, in great haste, without his previous knowledge or concurrence. This concocted address would have been published in the last MERLIN, had it not luckily been discovered by the agent and friends of Mr. John Jones, that his opposition to Mr. Blewitt (thus plotted and contrived) would subject Mr. Jones to great unpopularity, even with those who might, under other circumstances, have I been well disposed to support his pretensions. t- I [ will now say what 1 know to be a tact,tIllit Sir Benjamin Hall's attempted interference in the Borough Election, on this occasion, has been received with universal execration. Sir Benjamin Hall, largely professing liberal principles, has long been known in the County of Monmouth as the evil genius of liberalism He has nothing liberal in his nature. He is a personification of political selfish- ness. We have all observed how, after having made the Monmouthshire Boroughs the stepping stone to his ambition, he has ever since treated those Boroughs, and the no longer needed con- stituency, with neglect and disrespect. In the House of Commons lately he alluded to the Mon- mouthshire Boroughs "as a small Borough" which he had formerly condescended to represent,- though but for that small Borough he would never have been a Baronet, nor the Member for Maryle- bone. We all remember Sir Benjamin Hall's disreputable and artful conduct as a professed liberal at the county election, when Mr. Tracy Leigh came forward as a candidate. ]-OR the L wealth of worlds I would not have acted as Sir Benjamin Hall did on that occasion, towards that most amiable of men, the Lord Lieutenant of our county. Sir Benjamin Hall, it appears, "AGAMA candi- date for the Great Borough ot Marylebone. I would advise him to confine his attention to that quarter, and not interfere with the Monmouthshire Boroughs, in which he cannot influence a single vote. The Electors of Marylebone know him now about as well as we do,-and 1 have little doubt that the great Sir Benjamin will ere long be glad to take refuge in a much smaller Borough than that which he now reoards with such professed contempt. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, AN ELECTOR OF THE MONMOUTH- SHIRE BOROUGHS. [ P. S. I enclose my name and address.
FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE1…
FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE 1 SHREWSBURY & CHESTER RAILWAY. Chester, Monday Evening, half-past eight o'clock. An accident of a most dreadful and alarming description has this evening happened on the above railway, by which a very considerable number of souis have been summoned into the presence of their Maker at a moment's warning. The train which leaves the Chester station at half-past six o'clock, had just arrived at the new iron bridge, which crosses the river Dee, at the extremity of the race course, when Ihe fuithest portion of the three iion arches or spans composing the bridge gave way with a tremendous crash, carrying with it the wLaIe of the train (with the exception of the engine and tender, which reached the other side in safety) into the river below. The extent of the accident cannot, of course, be ascertained at the present rno- ment nine persons have, howevtr, been taken out in a dead or dyinn suite, and several others mutilated and injured in various ways. Many aie yet missing, and it is feared that not a few have met with watery grdves. The stoker of the engine was thrown from his place upon the tender, and killed on the spot. (From the Liverpool Times.) Immediately upon hearing of this dreadful calamity, we des- patched a reportei to the spot, who returned this morning, after witnessing ihe scene of this melancholy occurrence. The scene of the accident is the noble bridge over the liver Dee, close to the race-couise. The river is there crossed by an iron bridge, of three spans, each span is composed of massive iron girders, supported by sione of the most firm and durable construction. There are four of these girders in each span, one on each side of the up and do*n lines of rails. Stiong wooden beams were fixed across the girders, ani along these the lines were laid. The gliders themselves were formed of two pieces of iron, firmly riveted in the centre, and seemed well adapted to sustain all immense weight. The train which left Chester at 6 £ last evening, consisted of one firsi-class carnage, two second class carriages, and a luggage van; but it is staled that there were not more than two dozen passengers. The train was proceeding as usual along the hne. had already crossed two of the arches, and was in the act of crossing the third, when. without one moment's warning all the carriages were precipitated into the river, a depth of 1'20 feet the engine and tender, which had crossed the bridge, pursuing their course along the line. The consternation of the passen- gers at ihe time must have been frightful and some individuals, who witnessed the accident from the Roodee, describe their shrieks as being of the most heart-rending description. But even this terror was merely momentary; for the sudden shock and concussion rendered almost all the persons in the carriages totally insensible to their situation. One man, indeed, named Frond, recovered himself almost immedialely he found him- self in a c:iiriage turned upside down in the river, and being fully sensible of the honors of his situation, he exerted himself to the utmost, and succeeded in petting thiough the carriage window wiience he precipi.'ated himself into the river, and swam ashore. The ciash was heard at a great distance, and ass stance was promptly on the spot, Mr. Jones, the house- surgeon to the Infirmary, being very active in rendering aid to ilie unfortunate suflereis. In a brief space of time four dead bodies were taken out of the river, and twe!ve or thirteen of the passengers, who were more or less wounded, were extricated from their perilous situation, and conveyed to the Infirmary. As soon as the agitation consequent upon such a dreadful occuirence had subsided, attention was directed to the fallen arch, but. strange to say, only one of the girders, that on the outside, had given way, while the other remained perfectly firm and eniire. Of course the weight of the carriage bore down the rails and the horizontal beams, with which the girder, now broken into several pieces, fell into the river. It also tore wiili it a portion of the st -n? work in which it was fixed on the Wel-h side of the river. Very fortunately, however, nothing seemed to have fallen upon the carriages, and '.hough they were crushed one against the other, they did not appear so completely smashed as would have been the case had the arch been built of stone. Any conjecture as to the cause of the accident would be idle or misplaced, but doubtless that will be sufficiently investigated by the coroner. The following is a correct list of the parties killed and injured by this shocking catastrophe, as far as we have been able to ascertain the particulars by personal application at the Chester Royal Infirmary, shortly before five o'clock this morn. ing KILLED. 1. John Matthews, a coachman on one ot the Welsh mail coaches between Chester and some part of Wales. He was a passenger to Rusbon or Wrexham, in the second-class cairiage. 2. —Knyvelt, also a coach driver, and pasiengei loVVrexham. 3. George Roberts, guard of the train, who met an insian- tantaneous death, having been precipitated from the top of the carriage on to the bank of the liver, amid the falling ruins. 4. The stoker, a young man, whose name we have not been able to ascertain- The budies of these unfortunate individuals, with the excep- tion of that of the guard, which was conveyed to the Infirmary, now lie at the Chester workhouse, awaiting the inquest. INJUlil u. 1 and 2. Mr. and Miss Town, of Wrexham (brother and sister). The injuries which Mr. Town has received are of a very seiious character. He has sustained a severe concussion of the brain, and it is apprehended his skull is also fractured, thoughthishas not been definitely ascertained. However, he is in such a condition at present that is recovery is considered a maiter of great uncertainty. Miss Town has had a more for- tunate escape, the injuries which she has sustained being com- paratively slight. 3. Mrs. Evison, a middle ared lady, from the neighbourhood of Rusbon and Wrexham. Her injuries are very severe, con- sisting of a fracture of the hip bone, the nature or extent of which has not been accurately ascertained. 4. Mr. Isaac Jones, of Wrexham, said to be a tailor and draper, has had his skull severely fractured, and lies now in an exceedingly critical state. 5. Mr John Jones, from the neighbouihood of Wrexham a se- vere contussion about the head, which is not, however, reckoned imminently dangeious. G. Mrs. Elizabeth Jones (wife of the above) has had her thigh fractured. 7. Ann Evans. servant to Capt. Hopkins, who resides near Husbon, This young woman has suffered to a greater degree than perhaps any other of the unfortunate individuals who were injured. Her thigh is fractured, and she has likewise sustained a serious fracture of the collar bone, and a number of internal Injul\.>o. 8. Mi. David Evans, of Wrexham, or the immediate neigh- bourhood, had his thigh fractured. 9. Mrs. Evans, his wife, received a number of bruises, none of which are of a serious character. They were proceeding to Wrexham when the accident occurred. )0. A boy named Stevens, the son of one of the station keepers on the line, and himself employed on the line, was dreadfully injured. It is supposed he has sustained concussion of the brain, though it was impossible to say whether that really was the case. It. Mr. John Bruce Ford, of Manchester, received a cut on the head, and other slight injuries, none of which are consideled at all serious. 12. A married female, name unknown. severe concussion of the brain. She has not spoken since her admission to the infir- mary. 13. A boy or man, connected with some of the offices. named M'Gregor, had his skull fractured, but was nevertheless quite sensible, and conversed with the house suigeon. those who escaped unhUlt- comparatively few, consider. ing the number in the train—ihe following are the only names we have yet learned, and we believe it comprises all, with one or two exceptions:—Mr. Walmsley, of Liverpool, who was pro- ceeding to Llangollen a young man named Pround, connected with one of the railway offices; Mr. Lloyd Wynne, of Mount Zion, near Oswestiy, and his son, also escaped almost without a bruise. There seems to be one man still missing, for a hat has been found, marked with the name of Ashelford, for which there is no owner, but this is supposed to be the only body that has not been recovered. f Mr. Jones, the house surgeon, seemed to think the heads Os most of the sufferers had come in contact with the stone wall, a the wounds were filled with sand but this might be caused by the quantity of sand which would be disturbed as the carnages fell. We have spoken to one or two gentlemen who heard the crash of the filling mass, which was heard at a great distance, and who were on the spot lmrrediaiely after the accident, hut the relief of the wounded absorbed their whole attention, and they were aJ- most unable to form the slightest idea of the cause of this diead ful calamity. e It was stated that the engineer was so horrified at the occurrenca that he went on with his engine in an almost insensible s'ate tor distance ot about two miles. One of the coachmen who was killed had £ 150. in his pocket, which was taken charge cf by Mr. Hill, the superintendent of police. These, then, are the hurried details which we have been en- abled to colleci respecting this accident, in its nature more fright- ful than any in the recoids of railway history. The inquest, however, will unfold some further information, and in all proba. bility that will take place to morrow.

LONDON MARKETS—(W KDNESDAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. During the present veek the ariivalsof English Wheat for our market have been to a fair extent. To-day the show of sarrples of that grinn was by no means large, yet owitig to the prevailing fine weather, the demand for all descriptions was in a very slug- gish state, and Mondays's reduced figures were with difficulty »upnorted. Upwards of H.OOO quarters of Foreign Wheat have come to hand since Saturday evening. As several large parcels were pressing for sale, the trade was heavy at a decline of fully Is. per quarter. 'I he shuw of barely was moderate, fwhiie the trade was heavy at barley late rates. Exceedingly little business was passing in malt, the value of wh.ch grain had a downward tendency. Oats, beans, peas, Indian corn, and flour, might have been puichnsed on somewhat easier terms. AHIIIVAts.-Endish: wheat 2,940, bailey 1,11°, fats 320, malt, 4,020 qrs. Irish oats 610 qrs.

John Evans was charged with stealing a loaf of bre id and a handkerchief, the property of Samuel Williams.-P, osecutor said he was walking along with his property und; r his arm, when the prisoner accosted him, asking various questions as to the way to get work on the railway; and nfter going a little along the road, prisoner snatched at the loaf HIlG handkerchief, and ran off with both. He was taken into custody the same evening, and half the loaf in the handkerchief found upon him. He then acknowledged the theft, and stated that he had eaten no victuals that day.—His Worship cautioned him not to steal bread again, and gave him his discharge. ALLEGED ROBBERY OF A CAPTAIN. John Snellgrove Palmer, keeper of the Great Britain beer- house, and Dennis Sloggett, a sailor, were charged with robbing William Hicka, master of a. vessel, of £ 5. lOs.—Captain Hicks stated that he was master of the brig Bowry, an on last Friday night, about twelve o'clock, was shown to bed it the prisoner Palmer's beer-house, by Palmer himself. He had two purses in his pocket, one belonging to anothet captain, which he had taken from him in Palmer's house to take care of for him. In the morning he missed his purses, containing to aether upwards of ;E6., which he had felt in his trowsers pocket when he went to bed. Palmer offered to pay him the money back, after he was apprehended; and the policeman proved seeing Palmer passing two sovereigns to the other prisoner Sloggett, which- the PC afterwards took from his pocket.—Thh evidence was heard before the mayor at his office on Saturday, and there being nothing further adduced this morning, it was considered insufficient to warrant their committal, and the prisoners were therefore discharged. Two disorderlies, named Ellen Richards and Ellen Hopkins. were committed to prison for fourteen days, for being noisy and drunk. STEALING COAL. Mary Barry, an Irishwoman, with two infants in her arms, was charged with stealing 4'21bs coal, value 2d the property of the Newport Red Ash Coal Co.—Richard Godwin, watchman, proved seeing the prisoner steal a knob of coal, -,viieh having been. brought ashore, she placed on the edge of the wall, and when charged with the robbery, she kicked the coal into the canal. It was pulled out, and the prisoner was taken to the station house.—The prisoner denied the truth of the evidence, but was committed for trial. CAUTION TO BREAD-SELLERS. George Baker, grocer and bread-seller, of High-street, was summoned for having sold Samuel Hobbs, a navigator, a shil- ling loaf of bread, without first weighing it. —Mr. Raker pleaded guilty, but said he had not been aware that tAc act compelled him to weigh the bread when selling it. whethfr the customers required it or not; and had he known it, he certainly should not have infringed the law. He had not sold the loaf short of weight, nor in any fraudulent manner.-The Miyr r said he was satisfied of that, but the act having been clea: iy '.»r~ken, a fine of 10s with 12s. 6d. costs, must be paid by him. 't he penalty was mitigated, because it was the first offence but his Worship advised Mr. Baker to be careful in future not to sell his bread without weighing it, whether the purchaser required him to do so or not.—[Bread-sellers generally should be careful not to violate this law, as it is understood that the police are on the alert to detect defaulters.] CAUTION TO BUILDERS. Benjamin James, builder, was summoned at the instance of Mr. Salter, town surveyor, for not having given him due notice of pulling down the front of a house in Commercial-street, as the Improvement Act directs.— Mr. James pleaded guilty, saying he was not aware therr was a law compelling him to give such notice.—Mr. Salter: The act explicitly directs that three days' notice shall be given of an intention to effect any alteration in the fronts of houses, which may impede the footpaths. Mr. James pulled down the fronts of two houses, without a word of notice, and without providing any accommodation for foot-pas- sengers, who were therefore obliged to walk down in: i the wet and muddy street. There must be a conviction, or persons may dare the act, and do the same.—Being the first offence, defend- ant was fined 2s.6d. and 12s. 6d costs.-[We have alluded to the Improvement Act above but upon referring to the town bye- laws, we find that the 36th law empowers the surveyor also to proceed against parties similarly acting. Parties should there- fore give the bye-laws a re-perusal.]

Hunt, of London, solicitors to the South Wales Railway Company (with whom were Mr. Prothero and Mr. Towgood), appeared to renew an application which had been made and adjourned the previous Saturday, to appoint a competent surveyor to value certain lands, in the neighbourhood of Castletown, required by the company, and which lands were in dispute as tc their value with the several parties.—Mr. Leonard Hicks, the under-sheriff, said he had been brought from London, to appear Tor the poor" landowners, and should be sorry if they were oppressed.—Mr. Stable said the proceeding was entirely ex-parte, and he should object to Mr. Hicks being heard. No notice to the parties for whom Mr. Hicks appeared, of this application, was necessary and on laying before the magistrates certain formal proofs, they were bound to appoint the surveyor. He had co;ne prepared with such proofs, and he produced the joint opinions of'the attorney and solicitor-general, and Sir Thomas PJIlips, taken since the adjournment, which set out the necessary evidence, and showed that a mandamus would lie, if the justices refused to appoint, after hearing the evidence.—Mr. Hicks said, that if not allowed to speak, he supposed Mr. Stable wo"ld not wish to deprive him of hearing—(laughter)—and he should take notes also; though he did not wish to interfere in any way, ex- cept to watch the interests of the poorer parties whom he re- presented.—Mr. Coles said perhaps some of those parties would feel it offensive to be thought poor.-Some jocose remarks ha- ving followed, the necessary formal proofs were then adduced, and Mr. Stable produced the South Wales Railway Act, and the certificate of two justices that the whole of the capital had been, subscribed for also evidence of the service of notices, and of the assistant engineer, Mr. F. Fox, that the lands would be re- quired for the railway, and of Mr. Evan David, the valuer, that no agreement had been come to with the parties, was then, taken; upon which, the magistrates appointed a gentleman unconnected with either side— Mr. Townshend, of Bristol, to be the surveyor, to value the lands of Messrs. Philip Roberts, Rumney; David Roberts, Saint Mellons; William Watkins, Coedkernew; Thomas Morgan (now William Davies); Edward Griffiths, Marshfield; James Gething, Bristol; Thomas Powell, Bristol; Thomas Powell, Greenbrook Cottage, Bristol; William. Childs Webb, Pillgwenlty and Mrs Margaret Richards, Mer- thyr. There was considerable conversation on this appoint- ment. Mr. Coles said Mr. Tynte had not been se'tled with.- Mr. Stable explained that the value of Mr. Tynte's lands had been referred to arbitration, and the notice to him for the ap- pointment of a surveyor had been withdrawr in consequence. —Mr. Coles certainly did feel that the small holders ought to be protected. Rich men, such as Sir Charles Morgan and Mr. Tyiite, could protect themselves. They had long-headed soli- citors to watch their interests. But some of the small owners could hardly read the notices which the companv had served them with. He also remarked to Mr. Stable, that they were not prepared with the necessary proofs when he adjourned the case, and counsel's opinion had since been taken.—Mr. Hicks said the act required two good and sufficient securities for pay- ment of the amount for land taken by the company; and yet he found that Mr. Russell, the chairman, and Mr. Barlow, the secretary, of the company, were the securities in some cases- security for themselves This was an extraordinary proceed- ing.—Some desultory conversation having ensued, the parties left the court.

George Green was fully committed for trial, for breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Mr. Thomas, of Llanmartin, on Sunday last, while he and his family were at chapel.-The pro" secutor had placed a little girl to watch his house, which had been broken into twice lately. The girl saw the prisoner break in the window, and then ran off, and gave information. The prisoner was searched for in the house, upstairs and downstairs, in pantries and in cupboards, but all in vain. At length, the gentleman was discovered in the chimney of an upstairs room! He was speedily brought to the Newport station house, where a silk handkerchief was taken from his pocket by one of the policemen. Other property was missed. I

Richard Ellis, a railway excavator. was charged with having been found in the Newport Union-house garden, with a guilty intention of doing what he oughtn't, to the cabbages of the poor. He was at first suspected to be one of the poor-law commissioners, but on closer examination, he waE foond to be one of those things called navvies."—Mr. Flint, governor of the union-house, stated that the garden had been Jessed with a fruitful store of cabbages, which his poor people appreciated very much; but on Friday night last, some depredator cut and< carried away seventeen, and on Sunday night there were znly sixty-nine more stolen So the governor thought it high time to order out a force, for fear the castle itself should next be laid siege to. The garrison was accordingly summoned, and a. stirring speech made, and orders given when forth the httle devoted troop sallied, intent on sanguinary doings. First went the undaunted governor, armed with his keys next came that invincible hero, Davey Jones, armed with a regular gun and a wooden leg; then one of the Joneses, "unknown to fame;" then constable Rees, who once ran all the way to Castletown, after or before a prisoner; and then one Frederick, not the Great, brought up the rear, to prevent any one running away. Each man was at his post-this was on Monday n'.ght-and scarce had the governor whispered, All take to the cabbage trenches!" when suddenly they heard the foe approaching, crunching the cabbage leaves under his feet like a conqueror, and brandishing his bread and cheese knife aloft. He was at his work, cutting down the wegetables, when the governor, copy, ing the duke, shouted, Up, guards! and at him I'nd bravely flung himself upon the cabbage-stealer. Down they went, and rolled over and over, but still the governor maintained his hoult on him Bold Davey shouting, Surrender, man or I was shoot you dead j" and the Unionists closing in suddenly, they secured the enemy and his plunder. On mustering the toll, none were found missing, nor wounded, nor killed and Richard the Last was marched in triumph to the station, linked in close Darby shire fellowship with constable Rees.-Tried, found quite guilty, and senteneed to six weeks' hard labour at Usk, under governor Merrett's drill, I
