GËRN, ACCEPT my best thanks' for tllic honour you have conferred upon me, by- electing me for the eleventh time one of your Representatives in Par- liament.- A constant attention to your interesii, and au antioua desiry to promote your welfare and that of the Country at large, shsiH evince the grateful-sense which I enter- tain of your kindness; and I will endeavour, by an efficient discharge of my Public Duties, to show the sincerity of my acknowledgments, and the heartfelt satisfaction I experience at this renewed mark of your confidence. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient, humble Servant, GRANVILLE CHARLRS HENRY SOMERSET. Monmouth, August, 2nd, 1837. TO THE" Of THE UNITED BOROUGHS OF MONMOUTH t,Nevnvor t and Usk. GENTLEMEN, IT is with much regret that I address you on the inauspicious termination ôfthe struggle in which you have been engaged. You have, upon this occasion, recorded a considerable majority of your votes in favour of my opponent, and I should bow with all humility to your decision, did I believe it to he the free and unbiassed expression of your political opinions. Such, however, from the as- surances of support with which I was met previously to going to the poll, I am inclined to think cannot be the case. A mighty engine has been silently but effec- tually working against the Conservative cause in these Boroughs, invigorating the arm of its enemies, with- drawing sojuie waveriag friends from its ranks, and crippling the energies of. many of its genuine and true supporter*. This mighty engine, gentlemen, is not public opinion-but an establishment, the direction of whose powers has given to my opponent an influence greater than could have been anticipated, and has placed several of my friends in the ridiculous but painful position of indirectly fighting against their own political views. Added to this, the active interference of persons, who from the delicacy of their situation we might reasonably have expected would not have ap- peared on the stage, and the broken faith of some pro- fessing friends, have contributed largely to my defeat. I should not have alluded to this subject did I not think it. right to relieve myself from the imputation of having disturbed the harmony of your abodes unneces- sarily, and without a reasonable chance of success- Allow me to take this opportunity of expressing a hope, that the pleasing ties of private friendship, which may in any instance have been temporarily severed by the warmth of political feeling, may be speedily and per mancntly re-united. Conservatives! most heartily do 1 hope that ere long your good cause may be triumphant. May victory crown your efforts under soim more fortunate leader! In parting, permit me to offer you my, warmest thanks for your generous support upon this and former occasions, and to assure you that I shall ever feel grateful for the kindness I have experienced at your hands. I remain, Gentlemen, Yours, faithfully and obliged, JOSEPH BAILEY, Jun. Glanusk Park, 27th July, 1837. TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE UNITED BOROUGHS OF MONMOUTH, Newport and Usk. My VERY WORTHY AND ESTEEMED FRIENDS! PLACED at the head of the Poll, by a majority of 54, I have this day been elected as your Repre- sentative in Parliament. For the very flattering manner in which you have conferred upon me this highest ob- ject of a commoner's ambition, permit me to return you all that Gratitude has to offer-a heart full of thanks As we have been active in the fight, so let us be temperate in our victory. Let us rejoice, but in modera- tion satisfied with haying convinced our opponents that there is in these Boroughs a spirit of liberty and inde- pendence, which all, the power of the great and the wealthy will never be able to suppress. I remain, Your very obliged and grateful Friend and Servant, R. J. BLEWITT. King's Head Inn, Monmouth, July 26th, 1837. TO THK ¿£,ra J} œ ([)ill OF Cardiff, Cowbridg-e, TFC. XilantrisBent. GENTLEMEN, ALLOW me to return you my sincere and grateful thanks for the honor conferred on me in again Electing me your Representative in Par- liament. I sincerely regret that indisposition prevented my attendance at Cardiff, on the Day of Election, but hope at an early period to be enabled in person to thank you for this fresh and continued proof of your esteem and confidence. I assure you that it will be my constant study, faithfully and honestly, to discharge the duties im- posed on me, and, by a strict attention to the Agricultural and Commercial Interests of the County of Glamorgan, and to your Local Interests in parti- cular, to evince the gratitude I feel. I remain, Gentlemen, Your obliged and faithful servant, JOHN NICHOLL. 33, Belgrave Square, 28th July, 1837. TO THE GENTRY, CLERGY, AND OTHEIR OF THE COUNTY OF < C ARM A R THEN. GENTLEMEN, THE lamented deith of our late beloved King has rendered a Dissolution of Parliament necessary, and there is every appearance that such an event will take place within a short period. It becomes therefore my duty to state, that it is my intention, whenever the time comes, to offer my Services again to yon, as one of your Represen- tativet in the House of Commons, I need not (having had so longa connexion with you) enter at this moment into any detail of my Politioal Prinoi- ples,—they must be well known to you. And it is, believe me, a source of sincere gratification, when I reflect that they have on many former occasions prooured for me, at your hands, so cordial and efficient a support. To those principles I mean most scrupulously to adhere, as I am convinced they alone are capable of guiding thia great Country through the dangers which have for some time past so seriously threat- ened it. I shall shortly leave London for our County, when I shall take an early opportunity of paying my respects to you in person. I am, Gentlemen, Your most obliged And faithful Servant, GEO. RICE TREVOR. Stratton Street, Juty 1st, 1837. TO THE (jjJ !!J !l!J ill 'i:t GENTRY AND FREEHOLDERS, Oll Tll,, County of Glamorgan. GENTLEMEN, I BgO to apprize you that the Magistrates, assem- -m. bled at the Neath Quarter Sessions, considered it essential, that an additional CORONER for the County should be appointed, !in(i thnt the Parishes of Merthyr, Gellygaie, Aberdare, Lanwonuo and Ystrad- yfodwg. including the Hamlet of Rliigos, should be the District for which he should especially act. and in which he should reside; and they directed the the necessary measures to be taken accordingly, to obtain an additional Coroner duly appointed. Being a resident i» Merthyr, the central Town of the District and in other respects well qualified to discbarge efficiently the duties of that important office, 1 hope for the honour of your Votes and sup- port in my behalf at the Election, which will shortly tftkc place. It is considered, and I think properly so, that all public offices in Wales should be filled by persons well acquainted with the VVelsli Language. I am happy to say, that 1 an very well acquainted with that Language; for without knowing it, I should consider myself unfit for an office, more peculiarly exercismi-iii respect of ccldents happelling to the working classes of the iron and coal works, who, with few exceptions, converse in the Welsh Language exclusively. When the day of Election wiU have been fixed, I will give the isarliest notice of the time, that my Friends, and those Gentlemen who have so kindly and warmly honored me with their support, may be enabled to attend with the least possible inconvenience to themselves. I again beg'to return my most grateful thanks for the support I have received, and which, I can truly say, gives me every prospect of success. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Yoyr most obedient humble servant, WM. DAVIES. Merthyr, Jane 30th, 1937. TO TH WOBltlTY, CLERDY, (DENTRY9 AND FREEHOLDERS OF THE County of Glamorgan. MY LORDS and GEVTLEMEV, rADDRRSSED you on the 1st and 3rd of April i last, soliciting the favour ol your Votes for the COttONKRSHIP for the Eastern Division of this County; since which, the Lord Chancellor has been petitioned to appoint an additional Coroner for the ,t -t district, including Merthyr, Aberdare, Gellygaer, Lan- wonno, Ystrad a vodog and fthigos; and. ( again beg to offer myself as a Candidate for the appointment, being an Inhabitant of Merthyr and a member of the Legal Profession, and possessing the qualifications necessary for such a-responsible, and important office. My opponent says, one qualification for the Coro- ncrsliip is a complete knowledge of the Welsh lan- guage- Now, while 1 have no doubt I shall be fully qualified in this respect, as my profession rendered it prudent for me to become acquainieu with the Welsh language, and I have given my attention to it pre vious to the vacancy for the Coronership, and I feel fully satisfied ( have acquired a competent knowledge; but I deny that even this is really necessary. The Judges, the Magistrates, the Barristers, and all the Coroners throughout Wales, conduct all their pro- ceedings in English and not in Welsh: nor is such a qualification in 11 the least necessary for the ends ot jus. tice, or for the people, as most of them, in Merthyr, converse freely in English. Such a statement can only weigh with such as would vote from prejudice, and is only made for that purpose. As ray qualifications remain unquestioned, allow me again humbly to solicit the favor of your Votes at the approaching Election- I have the honor to be, With great respect, Your very obedient humble servant, JANILS WAPT) HUSSELF,, iSolicUori Idertbyr Tidfll, 7th JUIY, 1937,

NIR. (;tiLl,,N's BALLOON. It is with pleasure that we announce the safe descrnt of the intrepid aeronauts, Messrs. C. Green and Spencer. Mr. Green states that during the whole of the time that the parachute was attached to the balloon, Mr. Cocking, Mr. Spencer, and himself, kept in conversation remarking on the appearance of the metropolis, and also on the state of atmosphere. The ill-fated Gentleman, on clearing London, frequently enquired what was the altitude they had attained, which they from time to time informed him. On the balloon passing over the southern portion of Lewisham, Mr. Cocking asked what was the distance from the earth ? Mr. Green replied, 3,000 feet, when Mr. Cocking observed, Let me know when we are 5,000, and I will liberate her, as the country appears well open." Mr. Green shortly after ejaculated I say, Cocking, how are you now ?" To which he made answer, I am very well, and never was more comfort- able in all my life." These were his last words j for on the balloou attaining the altitude of 5,000 feet, Mr. Green directly shouted out to Mr. Cocking the fact, and the parachute was instantly, separated from the stu- pendous machine. The liberation of the machine has been reported in the various daily papers to have been cflected by Mr. C. Green, and that he was observed to sever the rope, when the parachute descended with the most fearful rapidity. This assertion, we are raquested to state/is without foundation,las at the altitude at which the parachuted was separated from the lJallOI n, it was utterly impossible for any individual to discern either the car or the. parachute. This act was done by Mr. Cocking himself by means of a liberating iron, one made for the express purpose, and similar to that used in starting the balloon from terra firma. To this iron a thick rope, composed of India rubber and hemp was fastened, and was the supporter of the parachute; a line was attached to a spring, and conveyed to the bottom of the cone, within reach 6fh Cocking. The time at which the unfortunate gentleman separated himself from the bal- loonwas about twenty minutes after eight o'clock, near dusk, and the unhappy fate of Mr Cocking was not known to Mr Green and Mr Spencer till near 12 o'clock yesterday. Mr Green states that the velocity with which the balloon ascended for some considerable period after the parachute was separated, was dreadful, and that the noise produced by the motion was awful, and similar to that caused by the waves of the sea. The balloon ascended o such a height that he attained an altitude beyond what he had ever done on any former occasion. The machine continued ascending, in the manner described, for nearly nine minutes, during which period both valves of the balloon were opened to their fullest extent. The descent of the balloon, however, soon afterwards took place. At ten minutes after nine o'clock they landed in a field but a short distance from Maidstone. An inquest has been since held on the body of Mr. Cocking, and the following verdict returned :— We find that the deceased, Robert Cocking, came to his death casually, and by misfortune, in con- sequence of receiving divers severe injuries upon the earth, in falling from a parachute of his own invention and contrivance, appended to a balloon; and we further add that the parachute was moving towards the death of the deceased, and is, therefore, a deodand and forfeit to the Queen." After the verdict had been returned, the Coroner, on the part of t.hc Jury, returned thanks to Mr. Finch, the Surgeon, and to Professor Airy, for their valuable assis- tance; and, addressing Mr. Green and Mr. Gye, stated that he was likewise requested to say that the Jury were perfectly satisfied with the manner in which they had acted throughout the whole of the unfortunate trans- action. The Coroner then animadverted in severe terms on the conduct of Mr. Seares.the landlord; and, after a short conversation, in the course of which Mr. Gye stated that he had undertaken to pay all expenses and only requested that the parachute and corpse might be kept sacred, the Coroner returned thanks to the Jury for their services, and they were discharged. At an early hour in the morning, several hundred persons, on horse and-foot, entered Lee, for the purpose of witnessing the funeral of the unfortunate Mr. Cocking. The church was crowded almost to suffocation, it having been reported that the melancholy case would be alluded to in the sermon but such was not the case. At two o'clock the funeral left the Tiger's Head public-house, and having reached Lee church-yard, the funeral service was read in a most impressive manner by the Rev. George Loch, the Vicar, in the presence of hundreds of spec- tators. The following persons followed as mourners Messrs. H. and P. Cocking:, grandsons of the deceased Mr. J. Phillips, brother-in-law to Mr. Cocking Mr. John Cuthberth, Mr. Charles Green, Mr. Edward Spen- cer, Mr. J. Tyrrell, Mr. Hugh Sijiith, Mr. Ileid, Mr. Stevens, and Mr. Green (no relative to Mr. C. Green,) of Vauxhall Gardens. The cotlin was an elm one, with black furniture. Since the melancholy accident occur- red, it is supposed that upwards of '20,000 persons have visited the spot where the parachute fell.

CALCULATIONS OF COC KING'S PARACHUTE. (From the Railway Magazine) The unfortunate experiment of Mr Cocking, in his d-scent on the 24th ult., with the parachute, has excited so painful a feeling in the public mind, that we shall be excused for saying a few words on the subject. It ap- peari that Mr Cocking's apparatus was an inverted fruvtrum of a cone, 34 feet diainuter at the top, and three or four at the bottom, which was open. are informed the upper ring was a tin tube, about two inches diameter, and the tower a wooden hooJl; the superficies of the cone was strong linen or canvas, and the whole, with the basket in which he was, weighed about 1501b. He took up, we are informed, 2cwt. of ballast, making, with himself, a total of aliput 5cwt. We know not the proportion of the axis of the frustrum to either diameter of the cone; but snpposino- the parachute a flitt circle, which would have been a better form for resistance, of the 34 feet diameter, it would expose a resisting area of little better than 909 square feet. With these dimensions the mass would have de- scended with a velocity of near 13 miles an hour-three times greater than safety would permit but from the bad formation of the machine, and the great hole in the middle, the resistance must have been lcss, and the velocity greater. Could he have rid himself of the 2cwt. of ballast, he must have descended more than 10 o miles an hour—that is, near three times as fast as he ought. In every way it was an ill-contrived, ill-judged experiment; the tube was too weak, and we are inform- ed it came unsoldered the day before he went up. To descend with a velocity of five miles an hour, rather too much for perfect safety, requires a resisting area of 1,000 square feet for every lOOlb.; Cocking's had only 900 for more than five times the weight. His distance was nearly 60 feet from Mr. Green, too much for easy com- munication. It has been stated that several scientific men had approved of culcuhitiOns of the safety of Mr. Cocking's parachute. We can hardly believe it we ourselves, at 4 o'clock, gave our opinion against it to friends who asked us. From the height, 5,000 feet, stated by Mr. Green, and the time of descent, 70 seconds, or more, observed by Mr. Bishop, we perceive that our compu- tation of the maximum velocity, 13 miles an hour, would have been very near the truth, had the parachute not have collapsed.
,ASCENT OF MRS. GRAHAM'S BALLOON.
ASCENT OF MRS. GRAHAM'S BALLOON. Notwithstanding the melancholy catastrophe which so recently attended the descent of the parachute of Mr Cocking, the rage for gazing at balloons appears to have suffered little or no diminution. Tuesday evening a great crowd of persons assembled at the Rosemary- branch Gardens, at the further extremity of Islington, to witness the ascent of Mrs. Graham. It had been announced that Mrs. Grahrm and another lady were to be the occupiers of the car, and the comparative variety of two ladies ascending together, had, no doubt, some- thing attractive to the spectators. If such were the case, they were in part disappointed; Mrs. Graham ascended, not in company of the lady announced, but with her husband. This substitution was, considering all things, a very judicious one. It will be quite as well, after the recent calamitous result ot experiment- alizing, for ladies at least to confine themselves to the surface of the earth, and it will be equally edifying for the public to witness an ascent without the probabilty of accidents. Every thing on Tuesday was well managed and conducted. At half.past 6 o'clock the inflation being complete, the balloon ascended, and took an easterly direction, the wind blowing tolerably fresh from the west, with a slight inclination to the south. Shortly before the ascent took place, the balloon of Mr Green, which ascended from the Yorkshire Stingo, passed nearly over the grounds of the Rosemary-branch; he was hailed with shouts, and the apparent rivalry of the two balloons was the cause of increased interest to the beholders. We are happy to say that Mr and Mrs Graham and Mr Green effected a safe landing at Ilford, in Essex, within half-a-mile of each other. After packing up their balloons, Mr and Mrs Graham, and Mr Green and the gentleman who accomprnied him, came to town by the same conveyance, and arrived atthe Garden shortly after 11 o'clgtk,

MERTHYR TYDVIL, SATURDAY,…
MERTHYR TYDVIL, SATURDAY, Aug. 5, 1837. From the confused state of the Election re- turns, it has been hitherto impossible to form any thing like an accurate idea of the actual Conservative and Ministerial Members in Par- liament. But they already exhibit that regular advance which we predicted as the result of the restored feeling of the Country, and which we further predict as the secure and progressive increase of constitutional strength in the Legis. iature. England is Tory by nature, for Toryism is nothing more than the desire to live in peace with all men, to follow our natural pursuits without obstacle, to see justice done to ourselves and every one else, to keep the property which we hdve earrred, and to uphold the Throne, and the Church, the Laws, and the morality by which man is made honest, the State powerful, and all property secure. Thus the tendency of the national mind will always be Toryism. There may be occasional bursts of popular folly, as there may be occasional absurdities in the minds of the wise, and occasional excesses in the habiC8, of the temperate. Whiggism, which is rapine in disgnise. anJ Radicalism, which is rapine contemptuous of the mask, may from time to time fill the people with their brief frenzy, but the nation is only perplexed, not perverted; the public heart is only convulsed, neither ossified nor extinguished, and after a few painful paroxysms, the great machinery of national life resumes its vigour, the blood flows with its old salubrity through its old channels, the national frame shakes off at once the debility and the delirium, and England is Tory and herself again. So far as any calculation can be made, it seems probable that a considerable increase will be found in the Conservative strength of the House. Even in the English Boroughs we shall gain six seats, and iu the whole, between the English Boroughs, Counties and Scotland, the amount may he twenty-five! Faction is all powerful in Ireland, and there we may suffer a loss of seven or eight Members. But the result of the whole, on both sides of the channel, it is presumed, may be twenty seats, which in the House would lie equivalent to an increase of forty votes. These calculations we of course give in the most general manner, but there can be no doubt that the cause of the Couutry will stand in a much better condition in the coming Parliament than in the last; nay, that its con- dition will be so much better as to leave it a matter of extreme doubt whether the present Ministry will be able to carry on the Govern- ment at all. The numbers will he as nearly as possible on an equality, and we are to recollect that all this has been done in the face of peculiar difficulties,—that the Ministry have pleaded the possession of the young Queen as exclusively their own,-tlipt they have availed themselves of this plea ita the most unhesitating and un- scrupulous manner,—that the mere possession of office puts all the means of corruption into their hands,—that they have the Army, the Navy, the Colonies, the Episcopal Bench, the Judgment Seat,The crowd of public offices, entirely at their | disposal,—that by the htgtrer offices they have a stringent hold on the higher ranks, especially on the Peerage, whose situation un- fortunately precludes them, in a great degree, from providing for their sons from the general pursuits of life, and who rely on public bread by Ambassadorships, Secretaryships) and public appointments. That, not content with those, the Agents of Ministers have descended to the meanest arts to influence the humblest of the voters; thus the different tradesmen of the Capital have had significant notices, previously to the Elections, that the appointments of the Royal Trades-people, even down to the green-grocer, are under consideration. That, in short, the Government has struggled to attain a majority, as if that struggle were for life or death. And yet, in the face of all this desperate intrigue and un- hesitating meanness, the good feeling of the nation has forced its way. scandalised the cor- ruption by showing its inefficiency, and sum- marily defeated the conspiracy against the rights of Englishmen. On these grounds we are fully entitled to sa.v that a substantial triumph has been gained. One thing aloue was I wanting to its complete success, and it is a circumstance of still more favourable augury, that even the failure in this point shows the vigour of the people. For tqe first time in modern British history it was not the Candidates who summoned the Electors to the poll, but the Electors who summoned the Candidates. The constitutional troops were there, self raised—self orgitaised- {, 'L I 'i self impelled. They wanted nothing but leaders- This was especially exemplified ill the Metropoii and its Boroughs. In Loiidnii.fire tliouialid Conservative voles, including ail the opulence and character of the City, actuallywerc on the point of beiug thrown away for want of a Can- didate. At length, only Mr Horseley Palmer would come forward. In others nothing but the strongest solicitation induced the Candidates to stand. Those Candidates were most respectable men, but they were oosi rdnClant, and the re- sult might have been anti ip ituil. Tljijs [lit force of the coun'.ry HAS beeu compelled to call upon individuals, in but little know" to public life-iiiidesiruits OF public life, whose habits would he broken up and property even injured by their attendance in Parlia-nent, and whose solo impulse was a sense of public duty. No impulse could be more honourable. But tblf men whom we want in this most pressing critic must be of another stamp. They must be men to whom public life i3 an object of, manly alltl intelligent desire, not adventurers embarking in politics, like pirates, to plunder on lioth sides. Not the hired slaves of a furious faction sent to exhibit at once their serviiity and their SAVAGERY and rivet their own chains rouud the necks of Englishmen; not the hereditary pall pen at the gates of Government, who have no conception of honest bread, but bear the scoffof iDMikind wi'h the apathy of professional beggars; nothing of that race of official parasites bora with red tape round their fingers, quarter day written oiv theft foreheads, and dependency, perfidy, àUir self, the original principles of thinking. We atijtire all. But there is one class in which England bàø always fOUIHiller strejigtb-the country gentle- men. From these, and particularly from the highest class, we would especially mould the patriotic representation of England. The sons of the Peerage ought especially. to conie for- ward. T'he Peerage are, at least, the I igliest- order of country gentlemen. As such, they have the very highest interest in the exisliug struggle. That struggle is simply between vn- certain property and certtin between the mul- titude who have little to lose by change, and those ranks of society who love peace, AND have every thing to lose. Between DOSSCS#ION by law and possession by force. Right and rapine. Constitution and Revolution. We have already adverted to this topic. Bllt what we would say to the Peerage is-tlie cause., is primarily yours. Defend what is your own- Your sons have the best education in the They have the most valuable Rpssessious TO protect. Their natural habits of life quality them for public distinction. They cannot TO* employed in the general professions of more humbly born men; public life is their natural position. Throw them then into public life; let its prizes be to them instead of the petty* bitter dependency on some paltry Minister nCt worthy to carry their portmanteau, or AOWG menial of that paltry Minister. Let them lit once sustain the people, and popularize THE Peerage. If such Candidates were presented to the nation, would it be possible for such men lko the Gullys, the Wakleys, the Duncombes, tbe: Whalleys, the Baineses, and the whole dulil, worthless and ridiculous rabble of repretentftti01* to degrade an English Senate?

We rerer our readers to another an account of the proceedings on the day of nomination at Bridgend. To every tive the reawlt must be most gratifying; but we cannot dismiss the subject without a few obseir, vations on the present state of affairs. After what took place on Taesday, incapacity or youthfulness can no longer be objected ti) Lord Adare. The lengthened and astonished faces of his opponents bore witness to the extent of the falsehoods which had been circulated oil# tll()$& points. 'Btlt is we have been provoked,. we will return the question. What are TIN* peculiar merits of Mr Talbot and Mr GUTSFR which make Lord Adare an unworthy COMPEHW for the suffrages of his countrymen? Undent" edly Mr Talbot possesses much taIeut-bllt iO is wrapped in a napkin, deposited in soW snug corner, and sucessfully removed from public gaze. There is not. and we say it with unaffected sorrow, a more indolent and inatten- tive member of the House of Commons therf is not a worse man of business, nor so great stranger to the Committee Rooms among sO the Representatives of all the People of Eng- land. We cannot say much more of Mr Guest- With the habits of business, and perhaps the wish to be busy, he wants that range of talent which could make his exertions useful. He IS S continual drawback on all the business of the House seizing unimportant points, overlooking the great general bearings of every question,skil- ful only at picking holes and finding ont uniiB"* portant defects. Neither of these gentlemen J" likely to improve. M r Talbot's indolence, we fe»r- ■ is constitutional,—Mr Guest's incapacity is tlif: fault of nature, not his own. Mr Talbot, sibly might be a man of business if he chose tO exert liinitielf,-Alr Gtiest coiild ?iot be so, if 11t: would.
