TO THE FREE AND INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF MONMOUTH. GENTLEMEN,-At the close of a contest which has terminated in the unexpected defeat of the Liberal- Party, it becomes my duty to acknowledge with gratitude the free and independent votes of 2338 Electors who havo honoured me with their support. We may congratulate ourselves that we fought the battle honourably, and lost it without disgrace. We may further congratulate ourselves upon the general result of the elections in this county. To the late Parliament, Monmouth- shire sent three Conservatives. In the pre sent, it will be represented by only two Con- servatives and one Liberal. Remembering this, the Liberals should not be discouraged by the result of the County Election, but should patiently await the time at which, with all the benefit of recent experience, they may have the opportunity of renewing the struggle.

You must only ask questions. P.e. 96 deposed I apprehended Henry Jones, and found in his possession a chair and two spittoons. Jones You did not see me in the house. Witness: No, I did not but I saw you in the riot Mr Alexander Edwards (who acted as magistrates' clerk) That is quite sufficient. <:> Witness With regard to Chas. Baker, I found three reams of paper in his possession. I did not see him in the riot. Baker The children picked up the paper on the road and brought it home, unknown to me. Did not I send some things back ? Witness: Some things were brought back by his family before he was taken into custody. This paper was in a box at his house, concealed. Prisoner: Concealed ? Witness: Yes. Mr M'lntosh State what you know about William Lloyd. Witness: I apprehended Wm. Lloyd about 10 o'clock yesterday morning. He had no cap and no boots on. He was dead drunk the night before, and the doctor would not allow roe to remove him. He came from the Red Lion. I saw him in the mob. I next speak as to Elizabeth Richards. I went to her house and asked for the goods she had taken away. She replied, I have not got anything." I told her that a man had seen her take some things, and I called the man in. She then went upstair and threw down a mattress. I also found two large carpets in her possession. Mrs Richards wished to make out that the constable asked for a bed, and that she denied all knowledge of a bed, but said she had a mattress. The witness replied that she at first said she had not got anything. Mr M'lntosh: State what you know about Emma Jones. Witness I found in Emma Jones's possession a shawl and an apron, which came from Mr John Willi- ams's brewery. Emma Jones: Didn't I go upstairs when my mother- in-law told me to reach the shawl for you ? Witness I did not hear her. P.c. 46 deposed About 8 o'clock on Tuesday night, I saw Margaret Scully coming from the Red Lion with a small tub and two plates. Margaret Scully said that as she was going across the Wain Field she met two policemen, and she told them what she had, saying that it was a pity it should be burned, and that she intended to take it back to Mr Williams in the morning. Mr Alexander Edwards We can't have your state- ment now. P.c. 71 deposed that at Henry Larkin's house he found up stairs, wrapped up in two shawls, a woman's red Garibaldi jacket. Down stairs there was a small box. Larkin said that some one pushed the box through the window on the night before. This property had not yet been identified. Larkin said it was quite true about the box. He did know how the Garihaldi Jacket came there. P.c. 71 further deposed, with reference to William Bowden and Ann Bowden, that he found a bed and bed clothes tied up in a bundle in their room. The Bowdens said they merely took care of the goods in order to restore them to the right owner, and that they let the police know about it early on Wednesday morning. P.c. 60 said that this was quite true. Mrs Bowden came and gave information about 9 o'clock iii the morning. The magistrates observed that this did away with the felony, and Mr and Àlrs Powder, were discharged. Mr M'lntosh said that a book case was found in the possession of Wm. King, but the constable was not pre- sent to-day to prove it. The Bowdens were then released, and all the rest were remanded. I THE ABERSYCHAN RIOTS. A batch of male and female prisoners, who had been brought in by Supt. Freeman from Abersychan, was next placed in the dock.and just then another batch was placed beside them. The prisoners were Septimus Morgan, James Hayes, Wiliiam Morgan (a lad), Philip Ken veil, John Ken ven (a lad), John Mead, Edward Willett, Caiheriiia M'Carthy, and Richard Churchill, all charged with riot at Abersychan. P.s. Basham identified Moigan, Hayes, and Mead. He saw Mead on the niglt of the riot, leading the mob in the White Hart, breaking everything, and resisting the police. He found some property up the chimney iu the house where William Morgan lived, but did not see him in the riot. Saw Mead iu the street. Mead was also in the house, and carried out some property. Hayes You did not see me carry anything out ? Witness. I did not say I did. Mead: I was i:i the street, but I was not inside the hoti.,e nor by the house. ill o rg, i n: I was not in the house. P.c. 62 deposed that in the house of the Kenvens, who were father and son, he found some knives, spoons, and forks, which be produced. Miss Jones, barmaid at the White Hart, identified tbe property produced. P.c. 62 also produced some brass candlesticks which be found at Kenven's, and one which be found at Cath- erine M'Carth v's. Mrs McCarthy muttered something about its being a pitv things should be trod under foot in the gutter. P.c. Batten, 63, deposed that he found in Churchill's possession a figured muslin window blind. which she was seen to take from the window at the White llart. Miss Jones identified ths blind produced. Churchill said that she was outside the house, and a lot of men came out. One of them threw the blind to her, saying Will you have it," and she replied "I don't mind," and took it, home. Mr M'lutosh said there was proof of her being in the house. P.c. Batten further deposed that Willet, when in custody, voluntarily stated that he and another lad en- tered the pantry at the White Hart, and ate a currant cake which they found there. Catherine M'Carthy was discharged, the property having been found in her husband's house. The rest were remanded.

Vipond & Co., Limited, at tho Yarteg Hill Colliery, were kept fully at work, tho manager having previously issued notices to the cffect that all (excepting, of course, those who had votes.) would be expected to be at their posts. It is very gra- tifying to learn that not a single act of misconduct amongst the men and boys in question has come to Lis knowledge.
NEWPORT.
NEWPORT. THE LATE MRS GKANT.—The funeral of Mrs Grant, the unfortunate woman whose death was caused during the election riots in a cbarge by lie military, took placo on Monday afternoon. A large number of the townspeo- ple attended the funeral, and much sympathy was ex- pressed for the bereaved family. We understand that the post mortem examination ordered at the opening of the inquest, resulted in the discovery that tho bayonet by which she was struck penetrated the heart, plainly showing that the wound, and not fright, was the cause of death. [Sir J. Ramsden, M.P. for the Monmouth- shire boroughs, has sent a cheque for £ 50 to MrGrant.]
TREDEGAR.
TREDEGAR. The riots at Tredegar on Tuesday appear to hava been of a serious character. The mob smashed the windows of the houses of Tory agents and those suspec- ted of having used any influence to obtain votes for the Tory candidates. The Blue" public houses were gutted, but the mischief was over before the arrival of the military. A boy was killed between a wall and an omnibus. The town was quiet next day, but the sol- diers remained. Some dozen persons were captured as having taken part in the riot, and were to be brought before the magistrates to-day. Among them was Mr Evans, druggist, who had figured prominently as one of the Liberal committee.
ANOTHER SUICIDE.—INQUEST.
ANOTHER SUICIDE.—INQUEST. An inquest was held at the Three Cranes Hotel, on Wednesday last, before E. D. Batt, Esq., coroner, touching the death of Joseph Smith, who hung himself at the Tianch on Monday. Dr Essex deposed that he was called to see the de- ceased, and found him quite dead, and that death resul- ted from hanging. The widow of the deceased deposed that her husband had been poorly and in low spirits for some time. She left home on Monday morning about 10 o'clock, leav- ing him in the house. When she returned 12 o'clock, she found him hanging to a nail on the wall,quite deed, and his feet touching the ground. The jury returned a verdict of suicide, while in a state of temporary insanity.
ELECTION PROCEEDiNGS AT RAGLAN.
ELECTION PROCEEDiNGS AT RAGLAN. To the Editor of the Free Press. At the first peep of (Icty, on Tuesday, the Beau- fort tenantry and others began to muster fvr the coming struggle, and according to previous ar- rangement a number of vehicles icere put in requi- sition, to drag to the poll the icealcer and wavering portion of the voters. By 10 a.m. the greater part rf the electoral force had. arrived. Llandenny contributed a fair quota on the Tory side, and they marched to the village in procession. As a matter of course a considerable amount of enthu- siasm was displayed in the ducal interest, and a great many of the Tories donned the "Blue;" but it was noticeable that serene refused to wear this badge, and that some positively declined to be PKIYEN, but preferred walking, to the hustings. Those who supported the Reform principle made but little display. Most of the votes, as will be seen, were polled early. At 10.30 the numbers were.— Morgan. 145, Somerset. 141, Clifford, 50. At 1.40,- Morgan, 17G. Somerset, 187, Clifford, 56. At the Close of the Po It', Morgan, 181, Somerset, 195, Clifford, 60. Thus it will be seen that however the Reform in- terest has been betrayed in other parts of the coun- ty, the Raglan district has well performed its part, the votes polled for Clifford being nearly/ the on$^ third of the number polled for He other candidates, which was quite equal to the anticipations of th& Liberal committee and this notwithstanding the violated jiledges of many of those who had prom- ised their support, and the great force with which the screw was put on by the Tory landoicners. Especially noteworthy is the fact that the Liberal anti-catholic squire of Dingestow, the author of "Eii-e)?ico,,i," requested his tenants to rote for the Conservative candidates, and that he stood near the polling desk when they registered, their votes ? but of course not to coerce, intimidate, or menace them. Oh certainly not. Be it remembered that he once allowed them to be canvassed by the Libe- rals, and then they, the favoured individuals, were to vote as they liked When such acts of tyranny and usurpation as these have to be re- corded against our class-legislators, it is no wonder that popular indignation runs high. Happily, on this day our village proved an ex- ception to many other places. A good feeling was maintained throughout the clay by the partisans of the respective candidates. No breach of the peace occurred except a little skirmishing in the night, by those who had enjoyed more freely than iciscly, the cup of life and taste it." Complaints against tl,,e scl.e?till were murmured in more quarters than one, and many recorded Mr Wyatt's" and the Esquires" rotes, as they aptly termed them, with depressed and humiliated feelings. A Iso against a case of outrageous coercion which was performed by some of the Conservative partisans, but about which I shall refrain from further notice at pre- sent, as they may probably come before the through another medium. Otie nioj-e cause r) complaint, and a very regrctable 01113 loo, must be, added. Some very foolish person, (not- an old, woman, as some may t think), said to be (in the literal sense) a Big Blue" from Monmouth, sent over from that town about a dozen hireling "Blacks" for the occasion, -who, like their em- ployer, are good, loyal, and devoted when they are well paid for it. Happily, however, their services were not in request, and in justice to these poor fellows it must be said that they behaved themselves thoroughly ivell all the day. The plea alleged for this insult to Raglan, and it is no less, is that there were some childish apprehensions of an assault being made on our snug little cita- del by the, Reds '1 from a distant part. Most people, Bllles" as well as Reds," feci indignant, at such a move. The people of this part think they could agree to differ and conduct themselves on such an occasion wAthout the aid of such dc- grading agencies. A CoiiKEsroNDENT. COST OF ELECTIONS.—In 1807 the contest in York- shire, between Mr Wilberforce on the one side and the united Milton and Lasrelles interest on the other, is computed to have cost half a million. In ,Yiltshire, the contests between the Astleys of Everley—a family d' fifteen thousand a year—and the Bennetts, resulted in the ruin of the former, whose lands are still hope- lessly mortgaged,and whose house is let to the stranger, In Northamptonshire, only tho other day even, the i Duke of Grafton spent eighty thousand pounds to se- cure the return of his sou, Lord Frederick Fitzroy, and failed after all. But, there js hardly a cuunty in England without its tradition of some memorable contest which has consigned some old family or another to penury allll obscurity for generations. Nothing is comrnoner, when you pass by some fine old Elizabethan hall, and discover on inquiry that the present occupier is not of the family of its former owner, than to hear that the ancient line who still possess it were ruined bv liectioii days, times hack." One source of immense expenditure in electioneering was the bringing up of freemen (the "honorary freemen" described in a former paper) to vote from all parts of the kingdom. The ex- pense at Lincoln was often as much as twelve thousand pounds a candidate. Once, after a hard light at Col- chester, all the beaten candidates were bankrupts.— '"F'ection Papers" in "CatsclFs Magazine" forNovrmbcr. BUMALS OF THE LIVING. — Every autumn-lll the dead season of politics—one sees little paragraphs float- ing- about among thc English uewspapeis, relating how soa:e person or other, a great way oft, generally in the remoter departments of France, hs, by a ghastly mi- take, been buried alive. Two such paragraphs have been going the rounds lately and as announcements of the kind serve only to add fear to the distress of many of those whose homes may have been visited by death -aii(i every day of our lives there are twelve hundred homes so visited in England and AVales alone-it may be as well to state, orce for all, that there is not a single authentic instance ot living burial upon record. There are three signs of death which arc certain—cessation of breathing, stoppage of the action of the heart, transition from suppleness to rigidity in the whole body. Tf there could be any error in judgment about the first two sins-which. where ordinary observation is exercised, is impossihle—there could be none whatever about the third. Ihe cold starkness of death is unmistakable; there is nothing in life which bears the faintest resem- blance to it. And as that starkness sets in within a period of six bours after dissolution, every intelligent person, howevci unscientific, has the means of assuring himself that the body he is about to consign mourufully to its last resting place is hopelessly past resuscitation. — CamV& liagczive" for November.
