RUABON. The inquest on the sufferers bv the late explosion at the Green Pit was resumed on Wednesday. After the coroner had summed up the evidence at consÜlerable length, the jury returned a verdict to the effect that death bad resulted from suffocation caused by fire- damp, but that there was not sufficient evidence to show how the explosion originated. WESEEYAN CHAPEL.—On Sunday last, two .ible sermons were preached in the Wesleyan Chapel, Ruibon, by the R;v. Frede'ick Payne, M.A., of Wrexham, an behalf of the Wesleyan Missionary Society. WYNN HALL COLLIERY.—On Thursday, one of the night men employed at the Rock Pit, named Robert Roberts, living at Ponkey, was very severely burnt. It appears that his lamp was not in the best order, and upon going to a spot where foul gas abounded, to fetch some timber, he was suddenly knocked down by an explosion. As he was the only person in that part, no one else received any injury. GUY FAUX DAY.—The scholars of the Grammit School had their usual Guy Faux fete on the cricke ground. Upwards of 910 worth of fire works were let off, and a monster bonfire illuminated the place. The unfavourable state of the weather prevented many of the subscribers being present, although a goodly number witnessed the sight, including the Rev. A. L. Taylor and Mrs Taylor, Miss Bebbington, Miss Forshaw, & THE "GREEN" PIT.-A FALSE ALARM.—Just before noon on Thursday last, and about the same hour of the day as when the late fatal accident occurred at this pit, a report was circulated, which happily proved to be without foundation, that the pit was on fire, and for a time the news, which spread with amazing rapidity, cased great excitement. The alarm is accounted for in this way. A knot of men were busily employed in shooting or blasting coal, and after charging the hole, they applied the fire to it in the usual way, when it blew off with more than ordinary light, through the charge not btiog well hammered down. Some boys a little distance off, see- ing the combustion, ran to the eye of the pit, and made use of the telegraphic communication to the men on the pit bank, for them to hoist up. For a short time it was believed to be a serious matter, but the contradiction to the report was welcomed, and afterwards accepted.

CEFN MAWR. The Post Office authoiiries are about to confer a boon upon the inhabitants of a portion of this village, by the erection of a pillar box for the deposit of letters near to the Grosvenor Arms.

WREXHAM. TOWN COUNCIL MEETING.—At this meeting, which took place on Monday, the 9th, Mr Alderman Jones proposed Mr Thomas Rowland, brewer, as Mayor. Mr William Rowland, chemist, seconded the pro- posal. No other candidate being nominated, Mr Rowland was duly elected. The vacancies in the aldermanic list caused by the retirement by rotation of Alderman Walker and Alderman Dickenson were filled by the re-election of Mr Walker and the election of Mr William Rowland, chemist.

LLANIDLOES. PIGEON SHOOTING AND HOUSE- WARMING DINNER.- An amateur pigeon shooting took place at the Red Lion Inn, on Friday, and attracted a goodly muster of the local sportsmen, the result of the day's sport being as follows :-A sweepstakes of 5s. each, sixteen subscribers, Mr Thomas Morris, Mr W. 3. Morgan, and Mr T. Izzard, each killed their eight birds. Mr Izzard led off again and missed his ninth, and during his absence from the ground, the other two gentlemen left in agreed to divido the stakes. A sweepstakes of 5s. each, ten subscribers, was won by Mr Izzard, who killed his four birds in first-rate style. Six other gentlemen killed three birds each and divided. The birds in each sweep were trapped at nineteen yards rise, and Mr Marpole officiated as referee to the satis- faction of all engaged in the sport. In the evening the house-warming dinner was held, to which nearly forty sat down, the chair being occupied by Mr David Lloyd, and the vice-chair by Mr T. Izzard. The dinner was served up in Mr and Mrs Larcum's best style, and a most agreeable evening was spent.

MACHYNLLETH. SUDDEN DEATH.—On Saturday an inquest was held by Dr D. R. Pugh, at Abereegir, upon the body of Thomas Williams, aged 40, a labourer employed at Abergwyndre, who was fouud dead in his bed on the previous morning. The wife of the deceased man said that he retired to rest in his usual health on Thursday night. She was awakened in the night by her husband's making a noise as if his breathing was difficult, and she tried to arouse him, but failing to do so she called up their lodger to her assistance. They attempted to give him some spirits, but he did not seem to be able to swallow. The lodger went out for his brother, but by the time he returned deceased was no more. The lodger, Hugh Owen, having given corroborative evidence, a verdict of "Death by the visitation of God" was returned.

WELSHPOOL. NOVEMBER FAIR.—This fair was very well attended by dealers, and stock of all sorts went off rather better than at the late fair, but there was not much improve- ment in prices. ANNIVERSARY SERMONS. On Sunday last, three sermons were preached by the Rev. T. Davies, M.A., Ph.D., of Ross in the morning at the Congregational Chapel, New-street; in the afternoon in the large room at the Town Hall; and in the evening in the chapel. Collections were made after each service, amounting together to £ 11. SUPPOSED CASE OF MANSLAUGHTER.— On Friday atTth an ^l^stwasheld before R. D. Harrison, Esq., e,oss Foxes Inn, touching the death of a man f. d • k°°*as Oliver, a labourer, who was found Pheasant a Iab. belonging to Mr Powell, at the Olive; Igh-street, on Thursday morning. y,™;nStepmothCT to deceased, said Oliver Wi.fl? W f Jr seven °u age* ha(* not resided at home named "jvr*1 m°nths, but had lodged with a ^.ers ary Morris, in High-street. The last time she im aliv? was about half-past ei^ht o'clock on Wednesday night., when he was very drntjk and appeared out o hi< mind_ brought to her house by Thomas Lewis, son of Mr Lewis, of the Wellington Inn. His father would not let him come into the house, bees use he was so drunk. She did not speak to him, but she asked Lewis to take him home. Deceased was very drunken, and very quarrelsome when drunk. She did not see any bruises on him, but she thought she saw blood coming from his nose. She understood he had come from Rider's where he bad been fighting. Mrs Benley came to tell them to fetch him away, but her husband would not let her go. In replv to a juror, she said the reason deceased's father did not attend was, be- cause he was very poorly.— Mary Morris, widow, stated that she lived near the Mermaid Inn, High- street, and li ceased had lodged with her some months. The last time she saw him alive was about twelve o'clock on Wednesday, when he was not quite sober, but he knew what he was doing. She asked him where he had been the night before, and he said lie had been brewing at the Pheasant. She did not sec him again until she went to lay him out at his father's. Lewis did not bring him to her ho.e that night. She found that he was a good deal btuised on the back and about the mouth, and that there had been a discharge of blood from the mouth. He was always quiet and peaceable in Lis manner. He was Gccustomed to drinking, but she never knew him to be quarrclfome.-Prj ce Powell, landlord of the Pheasant, said deceased was with him, brewing all mailt on Tuesday, and that he remained till twelve o'clock on Wednesday when he paid liim Is. Gd., and he left, quite sober. He saw him afterwards several times, and he appeared to be "getting on" in drink. He came again to his house, and beinc; quarrelsome, wit- ness asked a man named Edward Samuel to take him to his lodgings. About half-past nine deceased came to the house a third time, and he was rather tipsy, though he was quite aware of what he was doing. His clothes were almost torn from his back, and he was covered with blood, and he said he bad been fighting with three or four men. Witness then took him out, and he washed himself at the tap. He did not say where he had been fighting, or with whom. He asked witness whether he should go and lie down, and wit- ness took him and put him to lie on some straw in the stable. He did not see many bruises on him. He went to him in about en hour, and finding him asleep, left him for the not liking to turn him out in the wet. He always thought him a very quiet peaceable man. About a quarter to seven next morn- ing the servant, on o;ng to let him out of the stable, found 1 im lying on his light side, and when she raised his head sits discovered that he was dead, but warm. She then came for witness, and he immedi- ately sent for a medical man.—Jane Edwards, the servant, corroborated the preceding statement.—At this stage of the proceedings the inquest was ad- journed until Tuesday, for the purpose of having a p ist mortf m examination of the bo ly. PETTY SESSIONS, TUESDAY.—Before the Mayor and T. Bowen, Esq. Resisting the Police.—John Roberts, shoemaker, was charged with resisting P.C. Befeb, whilst in the execution of his duty, on the 2nd instant.-P.C. Bebb stated that as he was taking the last defendant to the lock-up, Roberts came and tried to take Lewis away from him. Witness told him to go away, but he would not.—Roberts, in defence, said the police were ill-using Lewis, and he (defendant) only went to put him on his legs, as he had fallen down, and they were dragging him along the stones.—Mr D. P. Owen, who was in the streit at the time of the row, corroborated the police- officer's statement—Mr Morris, shoemaker, gave defendant a very good character.—The Bench considered the case proved, and stated that the police must be protected whilst per- forming their duty; defendant would be fined 5s., and the costs. Stealing Boots.—Jolm Davies, shoemaker, was charged with stealing a pair of boots from the shop of Mr Charles Morris, Broad-street, on the 2nd instant.—Mr Morris stated that prisoner was employed occasionally by him, and was engaged as messenger on the election day, Monday, the 2nd. IN consequence of what was told witness, he missed a pair of spring-side boots out of his shop. A search warrant was obtained, aud in the prisoner's house they found the missing boots.—William Edward-! proved that defendant came to him at the Wellington Inn. oil the day of the elec- tion. Witness asked him if ho had got any money; defen- dant replied he had not, but had got a pair of boots to sell. He admitted to witness that he took them out of lIIr Morris's shop.—John Gardner proved that prisoner asked him to take the boots to his house till mornin- but witness refused to have anything to do with them.-After the usual caution had been given, prisoner pleaded guilty.—Mr Morris saia he did not wish to press the charge, as prisoner had a young wife, and up to the present had been a very honest person. —The Bench said they were extremely sorry to see a respectable young man like prisoner in the position he then was. As M r Morris did not press the charge, and had given him a good character, they should pass a light sentence ef seven days' imprisonment, with hard labo ur.

PORTMADOC. MEETING OF THE LIBERALS IN THE TOWN HALL.-On Friday evening, the Gthinst., a meeting of the working men and others of Portmadoc was held in the Town Hall-the Rev. W. Jones, Baptist minister, in the chair. The object of the meeting was to support the candidature of Mr Jones-Parry, and the proceedings were of a very spirited and enthusiastic character. The Hall was quite crowded, and a great many persons addressed tue meeting, chiefly in the Welsh language, amongst them being the Chairman, the Rev. William Ambrose, Rev. Mr Charles, Mr Roberts, New Shop, Mr Owen Morris, slate agent, Mr R. Richards, and a number of tradesmen and working men. Resolutions were passed pledging the meeting to support a Liberal candidate for the County, and Mr Jones-Parry as that representative he was a "fit and proper person." We are glad to have to state that in this part of Carnarvon- shire the Liboral Candidate will be strongly supported and that he will have a triumphant and decided majority over his Tory opponent, and the friends of Mr Parry now look upon his return as certain, notwith- standing the squibs, personal misrepresention, the screw" and the usual disreputable machinery employed during elections by a despairing and utterly unscrupulous party determined if possible to retain place and power.

THE ELECTIONS. A correspondent writes :—Now that the elections are so near approaching, the excitement in all parts of the counties of Carnarvon and Merioneth i, daily increaaing in intensity, and it is feared by many that serious disturbances will occur at some of the polling booths on the day of election. Meetings are being held by the Liberals in all the principal places in both counties, and in every instance the Liberal candidates are received with great and sincere enthusiasm by crowded meetings. There was a very large and influential meeting held at the village of Festiniog, on Saturday evening last, when some very able and eloquent addresses were delivered in the Welsh language, in favour of Mr D. Williams, who, I believe, is certain to be returned by a large majority and on Monday, there was a similar meeting of Li- berals, held at the Four Crosses, near Pwllbe i, on be- half of Mr Jones-Parry, the Liberal candidate for Carnarvonshire. In fact meetings have been held every day during the present week, and in every place with success. The Tories, on their parts, have held but very few public meetings in either of the two coun- ties and in Anglesea, the battle is between a Whig, the Hon. O. W. Stanley, who has represented this county, on Liberal principles, for about thirty years, and Mr Morgan Lloyd, the talented and well known barrister, who has addopted the pure Radical ticket. In Anglesea, Toryism appears to have died a very na- tural death, for the party refrains from contesting either the boroughs or the county, and in consequence two Liberals will be returned-Mr Richard D ivies for the county, and Mr Stanley or Mr Lloyd for the boroughs, and in so far as the national Liberal party is concerned, it makes not the least differenee which of these two gentlemen is victorious, as they are equally sound and true to their party. It will be seen that the politics of the Tories in Merionethshire and Car- narvonshire is to do and not to persuade. They avoid the platform and resort to the "screw," and in this department they are certainly great adepts. Landlords go round their tenants and personally can- vass for votes, without shame or compunction and even lady peeresses do not shrink from canvassing in favour of tlmir own sons, and Tory newspapers, which affect to look ijown as from an eminence upon their Liberal contemporaries, shamelessly try to justify such conduct, which has long ago become obsolete. Agents, stewards, bailiffs, and all the tribe of feudal retainers, hfgh and low, are enlisted in their mercenary service, and I have no doubt but many of them exert themselves to the utmost of their means and abilities to earn their money. This is the Tory rôe in Welsh county elections, and elsewhere, too, I dare say, if the trnth were known. They rely upon coercion and not persuasion to consolidate their supremacy, and it will now be seen what their success will be in the two counties above mentioned. If the electors keep their promises both Mr Williams and Mr Parry will unques- tionably be returned by large majorities, and two seats which for years past have been regarded as political heirlooms of two or three Tory families will be wrested from them and regained by the Liberals. If they do not keep their premises, or if they should de- cide to remain neutral, then to me it appears they do not deserve to be placed in the list of voters. Up to Saturday last it was ascertained that Mr Jones-Parry had received no less than 2,375 promises, whilst the total constituency is only a little over 4,000 voters; and in Merionethshire the prospects of Mr D. Wil- liams are equally cheering. Making a fair allowance for broken promises and other mischances, it does seem as if the return of two Liberal candidates is placed be- yond reasonable doubt. The people are now fairly roused and they are beginning to feel and show their strength,and if they remain only true to themselves and the principles the great majority of them profess, two of the most important victories in the forthcoming elections will be won. The Welsh people have hitherto allowed themselves to be political bondsmen, and they should know that who would be free, themselves must strike the blow."

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF CARDIGAN. GENTLEMEN,—I have been requested to offer my- self as a Candidate for the Represent it ion of j Cardiganshire by gentlemen cf such various shades of political views, and from so many different districts, that lean no lenger hesitate to place my services at your dispo al. The COIFèl nJives having determined to disturb the of a gentleman fitted to represent your county, alike by his position, lr's great personal worth, and mo Jerate viewn, will, I believe, be the means of inducing all classes to side minor differences, and prove by their votes that Liberal Cardiganshire will be represented by none other than a Liberal. For m"ny years past I have been identified with nearly every "lIeasure of Progress" in Glamorganshire, ard the active part which I to:k in assisting to biing about the present Representation of that county is, per haps, tll- best proof that I can offer as to the sound- ness of my Political Opinions. I have great confidence in the wisdom and integrity of Mr Gladstone, and, if elected your Representative, would give an independent support to a Government formed by him. Holding the views I do upon Religious Equality, I c nnot but approve of Mr Gladstone's proposals res- pecting the Irish Church, and feel convinced taat the adoption of his policy will strengthen the "Church in England and Wales," be conducive to the dignity and welfare of England, and the peace and prosperity of Ireland. Although a staunch Nonconformist, my Candidature is in no way connected with the Liberation Society. Experience has proved that it is the duty and interest of England to abstain as far as possible from interference in the internal affairs of other nations. IVifhDi-it impairing the efficiency of the Public Service considerable reduel ions can, I think, be made in our National Expenditure; and you may rely upon my active support being given to all well-considered measures of Retrenchment and Ecotomy. County Rates have become such a serious charge, that I feel strongly the necessity for the Establishment of County Finance Boards, thus removing the present anomaly of Taxation without representation. The great question of the Education of the People must be considered I.y the New Parliament; and I am not withom hopes that useful legislation will be possible without offence to the religious teelings of any class of our fellow countrymen. Cardiganshire now has the inestimable advantage of Railway Communication. This presents facilities for the development of your mineral wealth, which have not hitherto existed, and I trust that my commercial connections may prove of some advantage in furtherance of this branch of your native industry. Having had considerable experience in public 1 usiness I venture to say that your Local Interests would not suffer in my hands. I have the honour to be. Gentlemen, EVAN M. RICHARDS. Brooklands, Swansea, August 18th, 18G8. To the Burgesses of Abevystw f th. GENTLEMEN",—I beg to return you my warmest acknowledgement, for the support of the eighty- eight of my friends who thought me worthy of a seat in the Town Council, notwithstanding you had given your promise to these gentlemen who had been in the field a month previous, I merely came forward to oblige a few friends, at the eleventh hour, and I had scarcely more than one or two days to canvass. The number who voted for me exceeded my expectation. I cannot conclude without expressing my sincere thanks to the numerous electors who li-ive their regrets at not being able to serve me, in c T,sequence of having promised the other candidates. It is certainly very gratifying to know that my humble services are duly appreciatad. I am, gentlemen, yours most obediently, tl h November, 18G8, ClIAS. HACKNEY.

THE IRISH CHURCH AND NONCONFORMISTS' VOTES. The following letter [appeare 1 iu the Oswestry Advertiser. SIR,—It was a good word of Mr Gladstone's in one of his recent Lancashire speeches, when he said, in reference to the" No Popery" cry, that he felt confidence in the Tightness of his cause, from the fact that it obtained so almost univer- sally the approval of the Nonconformity of England. It is not in the ranks of Nonconformists that any tendency to Romanism is likely to be found. Still it is possible, on the other hand, that this very antagonism to the system of Roman Catholicism may lay some Nonconformists open to the Con- servative insinuation that the disestablishment of tho Irish Church will lead to the spread of Popery, and that this fear might keep some who are conscientiously Liberals from heartily co-operating with their party at this juncture. "Then theie is certain to be a pressure on your columns, it would be wrong in me to occupy your space to any but the shortest possible length. But I cannot rest satisfied without asking room for one word, directed specially to any Noncon- formists thus strangely, but conscientiously, troubled. I wish to call their attention to these two points:—1st,it is a doctrine of Christian morals that we have no right to do evil, or to perpetuate an evil ,for the sake of some supposed good. I can go further, in expressing personal conviction, and say that the fact that we have already done so is, I believe, one chief cause of much weakness in Protestantism That has already been manifested both in Ireland and in England. That a Nonconformist should need this le-son has, indeed, an aspect of sadness; for, if the need aro:-e, our own early history would reprove him. Great numbers of those who were the authors or the supporters of the oppressions under which early Nonconformists snffered, were so from the con- cientious conviction that Nonconformity was a moral evil. Even supposing that we have a dread of Roman Catholicism, are we to follow in their course? 2nd, Nonconformists and all, indeed, who profess a dread of Roman Catholicism- will do well to remember that the tendency of the Conserva- tive Government, before Mr G adstone introduced his Irish Bill, was to a large increase of Roman Catholic endowments. And I think we may look upon it as a certain consequence of the peaceful continuance of the Irish Church Establishment, that suchiscreased endowments will be made. Only one of two courses seems possible:-either that all State religious en- dowment in Ireland-whether of the Episcopal Church, the Presbyterian Ch ;rch (Regium Donum), or the Roman Catholic Church (Maynooth Grant) -shall cease or that, if as a whole they continue, the endowments of Roman Catholicism shall be made to bear a fairer proportion to the endowments of the Protestant Church. In conclusion, that I may not he misipprehended, let me say that I, for one, do not sympathise in this anticipation of the increase of Roman Catholicism in Ireland-at all events, from the cause stated. If Roman Catholicism does increase, this will be owing, I believe, to entirely different causes. Is it not, for instance, often said that Roman Catholicism is on the increase in England, where there is an Established Church ? This letter, I need scarcely add, bears reference only to a religious system to which I am opposed, and not to men who are upholders of the same. Too often, systems and men arc confounded. But I should be without excuse if I fell into the snare. I have, during my life, known as amongst my warmest friends those to whom the religious system specially dear to myself was an object of dislike. And, although I have not been favoured with many personal friends in the Roman Catholic Church, I have had them in at least suffi- cient number to know how wrong, in their case, it would be to transform opposition to a system which they revere into anything like opposition or enmity to themselves. I am, Sir, yours respectfully, „ T. GASQCOIXE. Oswestry, November 9, 1868.
