JOHN THIRLWALL, Election Audits. Abergwitf, Juae 9, 15-57. TO THE ELECTORS OF CAR NIART HEN SH I-RE. ""V'v" v GENTLEMEN,— IT HAVE been requested by a large and influential body of the Electors of this County to come forward to supply the vacancy in your Representation caused by the lamented death of Mr. Saunders Davies, our late Member, and our friend for who that ever knew him did not feel that in that sincere, that pure, that amiable heart he possessed a firm and constant Friend ? I have no Parliamentary career to appeal to but like him, whose death we now deplore, I have had the honour of serving for some years among you as Chairman of the Quarter Sessions: the friendships which I have contracted here have known no abatement, no change and I have been brought into communication with all classes of the community. I retain the same Moderate Conservative opinions which I have ever held but none know better than yourselves how of late years Political Parties have been mingled together, and the lines which separated them have become less distinct, while more -Liberal feelings have reigned in all hearts. It seems therefore to be now more than ever necessary that those who are sent for the first time to the House of Commons, not promising a blind or undeviating ad- herence to any Chief or Party in the State, should be prepared to decide on questions as they come before them according to their conscientious eonviction. In common with the great majority of my country- men, I admired the Policy of Lord Palmerston, which in a time of difficulty and danger upheld the ancient glory of the kingdom and I approved the determination since evinced in the Chinese waters to cause the British flag to be respected in every quarter of the globe. The question of Church Rates I have long desired to see settled and with this view I wish the subject to be taken up by the Government of the day nor do I think that the cause of General Education, which all good men have so much at heart, is likely to be brought to a successful termination if left in the hands of individual Members. To any Measure of Parliamentary Reform, which the lapse of time may have rendered necessary, which shall propose to extend the right of voting to Men of Educa- tion, Intelligence, or Wealth, I shall be prepared to give impartial consideration: and to enforce all economy in the Departments of the State which is consistent with good service, and with the maintenance of the National Defences. I wish that a contest on this occasion could have been spared to the County that around the grave of our beloved and lamented friend all might have been peaceful and tranquil as the death he died and no bitter or unkind word be heard. But encouraged as I am by promises of support, I have no right and no power to recede. The shortness of the time intervening between this and the Nomination day will render it impossible for me to pay my respects to you personally but I shall never be indifferent to the discharge of the duties you may impose on me. I can conceive for myself no higher earthly honor than that of serving you, no more noble employment! I am, Gentlemen, Your obliged and obedient Servant, DAVID PUGH. Manoravon, 4th June, 1857. TO THE ELECTORS OF CARMARTHEN SHIRE. GENTLEMEN, TN complying with the request of a large number of your Body to offer myself as a Candidate for the vacant seat in Parliament for your County, I sought to evince my respect for their wishes, and my readiness to devote my services, such as they are, to the use of the public but the junction of opposite parties against me not holding out that certainty of success which I anticipated, to persevere under such circumstances would be to uselessly trouble my friends and divide and weaken the Conservative Interest, which I, in conjunction with others, now no more, laboured hard to establish. I therefore withdraw, and beg to offer to my numerous supporters whose favourable opinion I so highly appreciate, my grateful acknowledgements, with the ex- pression of my hope that those qualifications they so kindly gave me credit for, will be found in the selected Candidate, whose repudiation of the decision arrived at by the Meeting of the 3rd instant, whereat he was represented by his Friends, and his subsequent indecision when waited upon by a Deputation from the Meeting, does not, to- say the least of it, augur favorably. I remain, Gentlemen, Your very obedient servant, J. LLOYD DAVIES. 10th June, 1857. GRAND EXTRA NUMBER AND SUPPLEMENT OF THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS. VICTORIA CROSS, THE NEW ORDER OF VALOUR.

There will be no contest for the representation of Carmarthenshire at the Election which takes place to- day at Llandilo. Mr. Pugh is now the only candidate and he will be returned without opposition. The address of Mr. Lloyd Davies to the Electors, announcing his retirement, appears in another part of this paper. He says, the junction of opposite parties against me not holding out that certainty of success which I anti- cipated, to persevere under such circumstances would be to uselessly trouble my friends and divide and weaken the Conservative Interest, which I, in conjunction with others, now no more, laboured hard to establish." These are the reasons then for giving up the contest, and Mr. Lloyd Davies has certainly acted with admirable con- sideration in refusing to disturb the tranquillity of the county. We are aware it might be said that he has selected the least humiliting course, as in the event of a poll the number of voters would have been four to one against him. Well, admitting this assertion to be true, he might still have created political strife, gained fresh triumphs on the hustings, and taken hold I of an excellent opportunity to defend his political con- duct, and to make more clearly understood his opinions on those public questions which must shortly be dis- cussed by the House of Commons and the Country. But he abandoned this course which was open to him in deference to the opinion of his friends, and for doing so he is entitled to some credit. However, it is rather singular that Mr. Davies should imagine the Conservative Interest" at the time of the Reform Bill and further back even than that, to which he alludes, can by any possibility resemble the political principles of the present day. The questions which at that time separated political parties have been long since finally settled, and are now more than acquiesced in by those who were the most violent opponents of every progressive measure. Du- ring the last quarter of a century the country has made rapid strides, and perhaps nowhere is our advance- iment more plainly seen than in the abnegation of trifling distinctions for the purpose of political coali- tion on broad principles. In the Aberdeen and Palmer- ston administrations are seen the wisdom, strength, and power of this union. In the House of Commons honourable members do not so frequently as in the good old days" follow the leader blindfold. Men and combinations of men learn to act independent of party, and wherever independence is recognized by the con- stituents they respect it, even where there exists a differ- ence of opinion between the represented and their re- presentatives. When Sir Robert Peel forfeited the con- fidence of his party he obtained national approval, and won for himself imperishable renown. Lord Palmerston was by almost universal consent-literally by the voice of the people chosen First Lord of the Treasury, in consequence of his freedom from party and his thorough independence. The constituents of Carmarthenshire like the inhabitants of other counties have moved in the right direction, and can appreciate the more liberal sentiments which now reign in every heart. The latter portion of Mr. Lloyd Davies's address speaks for itself, and will excite feelings throughout the country unfavourable to him. We give it in full. I beg to otTer" he says "to my numerous supporters whose favourable opinion I so highly appreciate, my grateful acknowledgements, with the expression of my hope that those qualifications they so kindly gave me credit for, will be found in the selected Candidate, whose repudiation of the decision arrived at by the Meeting of the 3rd instant, whereat he was represented by his Friends, and his subsequent indecision when waited upon by a Deputation from the Meeting, does not, to say the least of it, augur favorably." At the Conservative meeting Mr. Davies uttered words very dissimilar to these when he referred to Mr. Pugh, who was perfectly justified in "repudiating the decision arrived at by the meeting"—we should have said, a small portion of the meeting. But, then, the decision was arrived at in a very extraordinary manner. Mr. Pugh was not present, and his political opinions were, to use the mildest term, obscured by the friends of Sir James Hamilton and Mr. Davies. And at the moment of the greatest obscuration two papers only (one for Sir James and the other for Mr. Davies) were sent round the room for sig- nature. Then it was that Mr. Pugh's supporters con- sulted, and as no one appeared authorised to act decisively Mr. Lewis, of Gwinfe, protested against the proceedings. Had there been no misrepresentation of Mr. Pugh's opini ons, it is confidently asserted that he would have had a majority at the meeting. But, if the Conservatives were convened, as Sir John Mansel observed, to select a candi- date most acceptable to the constituents, the alleged re- jection of Mr. Pugh was a grave error. We repeat that Mr. Pugh ought not to have been bound by a meeting protested against by his friends; consequently, the "re- pudiation" cannot "augur unfavourably." From the first time we saw no chance of success for Mr. Lloyd Davies, who had rendered himself objectional to the electors by his Parliamentary career, to which be himself referred then for his opinions. We have long associated with the electors and know something of their political views, and the accuracy of our knowledge has been confirmed in the almost unanimous selection of Mr. Pugh to represent the County. It is absurd to talk about a declaration of opinion on certain abstract questions. What more effective declaration could possibly be made than in the unfettered choice of Mr. Pugb who has plainly stated that he will act independent of parties while favourable to safe progressive reform ? Just as the nation did when Lord Palmerston accepted the Premiership this county spontaneously ratified the nomination of Mr. Pugh. And what is the result ? Why, the establishment of what may be termed an in- dependent party, whose influence will not terminate with this election. The coalition was perfectly natural. The Liberal party as we have repeatedly stated do not as a bouy advocate extreme measures. They do not ask for five or ten points in any charter. They do not seek the destruction of our venerable constitution. They do not dream over an Utopia. They recognize plain, broad principles, and the bond of unity is not eccentricity, but a strong desire for the conservation and extension of the privileges we enjoy as a nation. Here then was identity of sentiment with very many in the Conserva- tive ranks, who readily subscribed to Moderate views" so that when Mr. Pugh's address appeared it was re- garded by these, and all the Liberal Party with feel- ings of satisfaction. It was everywhere repeated, Mr* Pugh is the fittest man to represent this county his prin- ciples are those of the majority, and his election will obliterate many distinctions which should not exist." Mr. Pugh's declaration in favour of Lord Palmerston's foreign policy is most explicit, and in accordance with the liberal opinions he holds. The country-in fact, all Eu- rope-approves the conduct of the Premier in reference to the Chinese War, so that every State will be repre- sented by armament of some sort or other in the Ce- lestial Empire. But we shall probably have occasion to refer to this subject at no distant period, and shall con- clude our remarks by congratulating the county on being spared the unpleasantness of a contested election.

It was dark and being in advance of other carts which were going at a furious rate he drove near the hedge and the wheel coming in contact with a large stone the cart was turned over, and Lloyd being on it at the time was severely injured by the fall He was immediately removed to the infirmary, where every attention was paid to him and he has since been taken to his home.

Griffith Davie., Priory-street, was charged with riding on a cart. P.C. Charles Riggs stated that on the previous Saturday afternoon at half-past three o'clock he saw defendant riding on a cart drawn by one horse on the turnpike road at Pensarne. On passing the gate he drove as fast as it was possible, and re- fused to stop when requested. Being market day, there were many carts and people on the road who were thus exposed to imminent danger. P.C. Wm. Phillips corroborated the previous witness. Fined ten shillings and costs. John Stayton was brought up under remand, charged with having been found iu a railway carriage for unlawful pur- poses. From the evidence (reported last week in detail) it appears that George Fraser, in the employ of the Railway Company, discovered the defendant concealed in a first-class carriage of the South Wales Railway at Myrtle Hill. While in the carriage he damaged the lining to the extent of thirty shillings. Defendant was committed to prison for three months. The charge against William Fenner was compromised. David Evans, Merthyr farm, admitted a complaint preferred by David Davies, toll collector of the Carmarthen Bridge Turnpike Gate, of altering the date of a ticket to evade toll. Defendant was fined 15s. and costs. William Williams, Tybaoh, was charged with as- saulting John Williams, Scyberpant, Llangendeirne who stated that on the 30th ult., at Van, Llangendeirne, defen* daut struck him with his fists without any provocation. He did not return the blow. His father had used some threata which lead to the remark that he must get his legs straight. John Owen stated that he saw the defendant strike the complainant twice and take hold of him by the hair. In defence James Davies living at Van, said all he saw was defendant following complainant and saying "Strike me, strike." Defendant turned round and that was all he saw. Fined 5s. and costs. On Monday, Timothy Harrington and John Donahue were charged with vagrancy by P.C. Robert Rowlands. The complaint was dismissed. CARMATIIEN POLICE COURT.—At the Town Hall on Friday last, before J. L.

Richard Lewis said-last Saturday afternoon defendant's cart was left in Lammas-street for a very considerable time. There was no horse in it. The railway omnibus could not pass, and to permit it he removed the cart on cne side. Defendant was ordered to pay costs, and another complaint was then preferred against him for riding on his cart in the street. Edward Allen, band serjeant in the Royal Carmarthenshire Rifles, stated that some time in the afternoon of the previous Saturday he was in Nott Square, when he saw a cart going in the direction of Bridge-street. It was drawn by one horse, and there were two men riding in it seated in the body. When the cart had entered the narrow street from the Square it crushed a woman between the wheels and the wall." She called out for help. One of the men sprang off the cart and released her. She appeared much injured and was taken into a house near the place. Defendant admitted he was the driver of the cart, and the bench convicted him in the penalty of 5s. and costs. John Daniel was fined 5s. for obstructing the thoroughfare. Michacl Lynch was charged with cruelty to a dog. P.C. David Williams stated that on Friday last about six o'clock in the evening he received information from Margaret Dunn wife of Richard Dunn, that defendant had ill-treated her dog. He then went to defendant's house at Kidwelly-fach and told him of the complaint, and ho re- plied that he had beaten the dog with his staff and if hg had to pay a sovereign for it he could not help it as be was in a passion at the time. The dog, he said, had bHÍ1 his child. There was no mark on the child. It Was a small cur. On its body there were several wounds and its left eye was struck out, and he could not see with the other. Being in great pain he ordered the destruction of the dog. Adjourned for a week. Henry Jones was charged with an assault. David Jones stated that on Saturday the 23rd ult. he was at the Gloucester Arm. public house wnen rtetendant tried to provoke him to strike him, and failing in the attempt defendant assaulted him with a walking stick with a knob on the end. His hat was broken by the blow. Maria Jones corroborated the last witness. John Davies was called for the defendant, but all he proved was that the parties to this action quarrelled to- gether. Defendant was fined Is. and costs. Charles James was charged with an assault. Mary Jones stated that on the previous Monday night about ten o'clock defendant as- saulted her. She was standing at the door of her own house not far from where defendant lives, when defendant abused her, applying offensive names to her and her husband. She asked him what he had to say of her husband and then went in search of P.C. Woozley. Defendant followed her, and when near the Coopers' Arms public house kicked her on the leg. Woozley then took him home. John Robinson, shoe- maker, Goose-street, said he saw the defendant attempting to kick complainant but he could not say that he succeeded but she cried and complained of being hurt. Defendant was fined Is. and costs. On Wednesday before E. H. Stacey, Esq. Henry Ilayter admitted being a deserter from the 80th regiment. P S. Richard Lewis apprehended him that morning in Lammas-street. He was in his regimentals and said that he had lost his discharge. The prisoner was com- mitteed to await orders from the War Office. CHILD DROPPING.—Ou Tuesday morning last about five o'clock, a child six months old was found near the door of Banksych house, Llandefeilog.
