TO THE I CONSTITUENCY OF THE CARDIGAN BOROUGHS. GENTLEMEN, BEFORE three weeks are passed the present Parliament JD will probably be dissolved, and your Representation be again placed at your own disposal. Under these circumstances I feel it my duty at once to inform you of my intention of offering myself as a Can- didate to fill the position so long and proudly held by my dear Father and Brother. I trust that my Political Creed needs no explanation, as it is that which my Family has always upheld. I shall do myself the pleasure of calling on you all on an early day. Believe me, Gentlemen, to be Your sincere Friend, and obedient Servant, EDWARD LEWIS PRYSE. Gogcrddan, March 7th, 1857. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE "COUNTY OF CARDIGAN. GENTLEMEN, THE approaching Dissolution of Parliament will restore into your hands the trust you confided to me as your County Member, and I hope my conduct has been such as to justify me in asking for a continuance of that honor. I cannot expect that every vote of mine has been given as every Elector would wish; but I trust all will allow me credit for having voted honestly and to the best of my judgment. Should you be pleased to re-elect me, it will only enchance the obligation I feel under to you for your great kindness towards me, and increase my anxiety to merit your further confidence. As the Ministry have advised Her Majesty to dissolve the Parliament on a question upon which Members of all parties differed, and they do not appeal to the country for its response on any great political question, I am not aware that it is necessary for me to say any more. I remain, Gentlemen, Your obliged and faithful Servant, LISBURNE. London, March 16th, 1857. TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE UNITED BOROUGHS OF CARMARTHEN AND LLANELLY. GENTLEMEN, A Dissolution of Parliament will very shortly take place, and you will have to exercise the constitutional right of again electing your Representative. I have had during four Parliaments, embracing a period of Twenty Years, the high honour of filling that dis- tinguished position, and I now respectfully solicit a con- tinuance of your confidence and support, which it has been my pride to have so long enjoyed. I have endeavoured faithfully, diligently and indepen- dently to perform my public duties and if I shall again be honoured by becoming the object of your choice, I trust, that by persevering in that line of conduct which has hitherto merited your approbation, I shall retain your confidence and regard, which it is the chief desire of my life to deserve, and the highest object of my ambition to possess. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your faithful and obliged humble Servant, D. MORRIS. 8, St. James's Place, London, March 11th, 1857. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF CARMARTHEN. GENTLEMEN, rpHE announcement of a dissolution of the present House of Commons has come upon the Country unexpectedly, and that event, which must soon ocour, restores to you the privilege cf Electing your Representa- tives in a new Parliament. It is very nearly fifteen years since 1 first had the honour of -representing the County of Carmarthen, and I venture, again, to seek for a renewal of that honour in the Parliament about to be Elected. My Political conduct during the above eventful period is before you, and in that time it has frequently been my duty to record my vote on many most important questinns, and under very trying circumstances; I therefore, relying on your favourable construction of my motives, appeal to the past as an earnest of the future, and indulge the hope that you will, again, place me in that post, which I am so proud to occupy—that of one of the representatives of Carmarthenshire. With a grateful recollection of the many instances of kindness I have received from you, believe me, with sentiments of sincere regard, Your faithful and obliged Servant, D. SAUNDERS DAVIES. London, 10th March, 1857. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF CARMARTHEN. GENTLEMEN, I^HE time approaches when I shall return into your -*L hands the important trust confided to me, and solicit to be again placed by your suffrages in the high position of one of your Representatives in Parliament. I shall, if re-elected, be prepared to give my independent but not indiscriminate support to any Government which shall bring forward measures that may appear to me likely to promote the common welfare. Though, in general, I have hitherto upheld a policy adverse to that of Lord Palmerston, yet I should, had I not been prevented by indisposition, have recorded my vote upon the Chinese Question in favour of Ministers, from due consideration of the merits of the case as well as conviction that disastrous consequences might ensue from a reversal of the proceedings taken by tried officers and public servants in foreign and distant lands, themselves engaged under deep responsibility as to the honor of the English Flag and the safety of all British subjects. I regret much that having been of late afflicted with opthalmia, I have necessarily been absent from my post of duty, more than I could have wished, but I trust that my health may be shortly re-established and the tics which have so long united me with this County may be further and more fully ratified. I hope that my friends will kindly excuse my inability to wait upon each one personally, in order to pay my respects previous to the day of nomination, as my Medical adviser counsels care during the present cold weather, but from the proofs of cordial good feeling which I have received from all classes of this large and influential Constituency, I cherish the earnest expectation that I may again be permitted to act as your Representative, when it. will be my anxious endeavour to merit your approbation. I have the honour to be, Your faithful and very grateful Servant, D. JONES, of Pantglis. 82, Eaton Square, London, 11th Maroh, 1857. TO THE I INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGHS OF HAY ER FOR DO'; ;o:o;Slt UAR OJ AN 0 I NARBERTH. GFNTLEMEN, THE approaching dissolution of the present Parliament, will shortly impose on you the duty of electing a Representative of your interests in the next. Nearly five years have elapsed since, in compliance with the wish of a numerous and respectable portion of the Constituency, I was led to offer myself as a Candidate for the position which, by the flattering decision of a large majority, I have been permitted to occupy, and which I hope you will not think me unworthy to resume. I have endeavoured to perform my duty faithfully during a period of unexpected difficulty and danger, when the obliteration of old well defined lines of party, frequent changes of Government, and a sudden transition from Peace to War, made heavy demands on individual judgment, by carefully considering what course was best adapted to promote the general welfare of the Country, and allowing no other thought to deter me from giving the effect of my votes to the conclusions of my conscientious conviction. The principal object of the attention of Parliament has been the War with Russia. When that conflict assumed its darkest aspect, the present Government took the con- duct of affairs, and I have given it my support in all measures necessary to bring that War to an early and honourable conclusion. I voted against Mr. Cobden's Resolution on the hostilities in China, because although deploring the events which have occurred, and most anxious for the restoration of Peace, I thought that the affirmation of that Resolution, whilst it remedied n<?evil, was only calculated to aggravate existing difficulties and imperil the lives and property of our fellow- countrymen. I once more respectfully submit myself to your considera- tion, and, if restored to the honorable office of your Repre- sentative, shall endeavour to justify your confidence by my earnest efforts to uphold and advance the safety and honour of our country, and assist its course of peaceful and practical improvement. I remain, Gentlemen, Your obliged and faithful servant, JOHN HENRY FIIILIPPS. Williamston, Haverfordwest, March 13, 1857.

A MEDICAL REVOLUTIONI THE WORLD UNANIMOUS. HOLLO WAY'S OINTMENT. THE GREAT COUNTER IRRITANT. The virtue of disease often makes its way to the internal organs through the pores of the skin. This penetrating Ointment, melting under the hand as it is rubbed in, is absorbed through the same channels, and reaching the seat of inflammation, promptly and invariably subdues it whether located in the kidneys, the liver, the lungs, or any other important organ. It penetrates the surface to the interior, through the countless tubes that communicate with the kin iI., Summer rain passes iuto the fevered earth, diffusing its cold and regenerating influence. SKIN DISEASES AND GLANDULAR SWELLINGS. Every sppcies of exterior irritation is quickly reduced by the anti-inflammatory action of this Ointment. Angry Eruptions, such as King's Evil, Erysipelas, Tetter, Ring- worm, Scald Head, Nettle Rash, Scabies (or Itch), &c., die out to return no more, under its application. Hospital experience in all parts of the world proves its infallibility in disease of the skin, the muscles, the joints and the glands. ULCERS, SORES, AND TUMORS. The effect of this unrivalled external remedy upon Scrofula, and other virulent ulcers and sores, is almost miraculous. It first discharges the poison which produce suppuration and proud flesh, and thus the cures which its healing properties afterwards complete are safe as well as permanent. WOUNDS, BRUISES, BURNS, AND SCALDS. In cases of the fracture of the bone, injuries caused by steam explosions, Bruises, Burns, Scalds, Rheumatism, Stiffness of the Joints, and contraction of the sinews, it is employed and warmly recommended by the faculty. This marvellous remedy has heen introduced by its inventor in person into all the leading Hospitals of Europe, and no private household should be without it. UNDENIABLE TESTIMONY. The Medical Staff of the French and English Armies in the Crimea have officially signed their approval of Hollo- way's Ointment, as the most reliable dressing for sabre cuts, stabs, and gun-shot wounds. It is also used by the surgeons of the Allied Navies. EXTRAORDINARY CURE OF A SKIN DISEASE. Mr. C. Smith, the noted boot and shoemaker, of 115, Tonley-street, London, had been severely afflicted with scurvy for four years, the cracks in the palms of his hands were as wide as the thickness of a penny-piece, and not- withstanding he had been to the principal hospitals, and the one for diseases of the skin, vet he derived no benefit by their medicine. Ilolloway's Pills alone have been the means of effecting a perfect cure. AN ASTOUNDING REMEDY FOR BAD LEGS. Extract of a Letter from Jlfr. Charles Sacre, of Church Street, Woolwich. ToProfessor Holloway, Sm -I beg to offer you my sincere thanks for the miracu- lous cure which your invaluable Ointment and Pills have effeetedon my leg.
