TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF BRECON AND TOWN OF LLYWEL. GjurriiKKKN, AS it is certain that a Dissolution of Parliament will soon take place, I avail my- self of this opportunity of informing you that it is my intention to solicit a renewal of that trust which you have for the last two years so kindly reposed in me. I have, as you are aware, supported a Govern- ment which is admitted, even by opponents, to have displayed great talent and ability in the administra- tion of the various departments of the State. The Foreign Affairs of this Kingdom have been conducted with judgment and discretion by Lord Stanley, and British influence in foreign countries much augmented. The Home Secretary, by firmness and determina- tion, has been the means of most effectually sup- pressing that evil spirit of Fenianism, which during the past winter so seriously threatened the peace and happiness of the country. The people of this Kingdom are likewise indebted to Her Majesty's Government, not only for their judicious selection of Lord Napier as Commander- in-Chief of the Abyssinian Expedition, but for all the foresight and care with which the arrangements for the supply of the Army, so necessary to secure success, were made by the Secretary of State for India. The Government also, with the assistance of Par- liament, has affected, as you are well aware, a large extension of the Elective Franchise, from which I have no doubt that the best results will ensue, and I am also satisfied that the important trust confided to you will be made use of in accordance with that just character for probity and manliness which dis- tinguishes the industrial classes of this great country. One of the first subjects that must occupy the attention of the new Parliament will no doubt be the question of the Irish Church. To its Dis- establishment and Disendowment I shall give as hitherto my conscientious opposition, being con- vinced that it will tend to the serious danger of Protestantism, and to the rights of all property, and will by no means conduce to the peace and prosperity of Ireland, which is an object so much desired by us all. I am well aware that there are anomalies in that Church which require to be redressed, and when the report of the Commission that has been sitting on the subject is published, I shall be disposed to support any well considered scheme that may be recommended by it for the removal of those anomalies. I have only to add, that should you do me the honor of again electing me as your Member-which from the very hearty promises of support I have met with during my canvass, and especially so from my 3tew Constituents, I am sanguine enough will be the case-I will in return do, as I have hitherto done, all in my power to promote your public and private interests. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your faithful and obliged Servant, HOWEL GWYN. Duffryn, 24th August, 1868. [1021 BOUGHROOD HOUSE BOARDING AND DAY SCHOOLS. STBUET, BRECON.

These Pills are compounded from the recipe of one of the most eminent physicians of the present day (who, from purely philanthropic motives-knowing their excellent properties from experience—has been indueed to give the benefit of them to the publie at large). They are prepared by an able and experi- enced chemist, and are acknowledged, by the faculty, to be the most valuable medicine for all disorders of the stomach and derangements of the liver ever prepared. It is a well-known fact that most of the diseases incident to the human race arise from a disordered stomach, and an irregular state of the bowels, and for want of a suitable remedy, taken in time, thousands of (at first) simple maladies become serious illnesses To guard against this great evil, and to preserve the blessings of health, these pills are confidently and earnestly reeommended. They act generally on the constitution, cleanse the blood of all impurities; regulate the secretions, and give tone to the stomach; correct the morbid con- dition of the lier. regulate the bowels, and, by, removing all impediments, restore elasticity and vigour to the whole frame. Sold in ooxes (with directions for use) Is. lid. aai 74d. each (a saving by taking the larger size). Sold Wholesale by Messrs. B.irclay and Son, London, and Retail by all Medicine Vendors.
