TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF CARDIGAN. GEXTLEMEN AND BROTHER ELECTORS,— Unwilling as I am to subject the County to the serious evils of a political contest, and myself to the heavy expense attendant thereon, I beg respectfully to inform you that it is not my intention to offer myself for Re-election. During the short period I have had the honour of being your representative, I trust I have not been un- mindful of your interests, or reflected any discredit on the position you placed me in as Member for the County of Cardigan, With my sincere thanks to Conservatives and Liberals for their generous support on a past occasion, I remain, Gentlemen and brother electors, Yours very faithfully, I THOMAS DAVIES LLOYD. 1 University Club, June 20th, 1868, K 63

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE UNITED BOROUGHS OF CARMARTHEN & LLANELLY. GENTLEMEN,— The approaching dissolution of Parliament ren- ders it necessary that I should address you, with the view of giving you timely intimation that I do not pro- pose to offer myself for Re-election. I have come to this determination solely upon per. sonal grounds, for I have every reason to believe that I have not in any way forfeited the confidence which, on two occasions, you have so generously reposed in me, and that I should not appeal in vain for their support to the new electors, by whom the constituency of your Boroughs will shortly be so materially enlarged and strengthened. The state of my health, however, precludes the hope of my being able henceforth to devote the time and attention to your service, which are indispensable to a faithful discharge of the duties of a Member of the House of Commons, and I am therefore desirous of retiring from a position which I feel I can no longer occupy with advantage to you, or satisfaction to my- self. It is, I can assure you, with much pain that I make this communication, for I have received such unvary- ing kindness and consideration from you all, without distinction of party or class, that I should be most un- grateful could I sever our political connexion without a feeling of deep regret. Believe me, I shall always retain a lively sense of the obligations under which you have placed me to you, and I shall ever look back with pride and gratification to the period during which I have had a seat in Par- liament as your Representative. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your faithful and obliged servant, Carmartbe.. J. 23rd, 1868. W. MORRIS. I Carmarthen, June 23rd, 1868. K 73

Richard Wilde, Curate of St. Jude's, Engle- field Green, Surrey, M.A., is gazetted as one of her Majesty's Inspectors of Schools. The sporting correspondent of the Times, writing from Bibury, says that, as we had predicted, there is small probability that the turf case of the Spider and the Fly will be ventilated in a court of law. in spite of Vallance and Vallance's letter to Admiral Rous and the virtuous indignation of Mr John Day. The gallant Admiral attended Bibury races on Tuesday, and peacemakers and mediators were not wanting to bring about a reconciliation, which will of course be declared to be creditable to all parties, if not satis- factory to the public. A shocking occurrence has taken place at North Shields. The Rev J. C Develyn, senior curate at Christ Church, has been missing about a week, when his family were staying at Croft. The door of his house was forced open on Monday afternoon, and he was found dead in one of the rooms. It is supposed he had teen dead since Sunday week, on which day he preached. It is conjectured that he died in a fit when there was no one in the house. FATAL THUNDERSTORM.—On Saturday afternoon a severe storm of lightning, thunder, hail, and rain passed over several parts of Yorkshire, extending into the wbole of the three ridings into which that county is divided. The rain, we need hardly add, was muc-hI needed, the grass and the cereal crops alike suffering from a long drought. In one instance the storm was attended with fatal effects. A number of racehorses, with their attendants, under the care of Mr T. Dawson, the well-known trainer at Tungill, near Middleham, in the North Riding, were returning to the stables from the training-ground, when the electric fluid struck one of the horses and killed both it and the boy who accom- panied it. The lightening also struck another boy, but it is not likely that the injury it inflicted will prove fatal. The horse which was killed was very valuable, and was brother to Rococo, the winner of the North- umberland Plate at Newcastle-on-Tyne in 1866. Mr Dawson had two valuable horses and a boy killed by a similar storm in April, 1847.

by the Mayor and Corporation of Llandovery, on the present occasion. (Hear, hear.) He begged to propose their health. (Cheers.) Mr Rees, of Tonn, the Mayor of the town, said he felt proud to return thanks for the honour done them, and especially on the present occasion, which was fraught with so much benefit to their little town. It was true Llandovery was surrounded by picturesque hills and beautiful woods, and for beauty of scenery it could vie with any place in the kingdom but there was another element of still greater importance, and that waa its geographical position-a position that seventeen centuries ago attracted the Romans hither. Later, the Norman invader had built castles in the neighbourhood, and later still Richard the Third had discovered the importance of Llandovery, although at that time it consisted of only one narrow street. In more modern times, or what were now called the old coaching days, Llandovery had a large number of visitors. After that came railways, and Llandovery had for a long time looked forward to railway communica- tion. First was the England & Ireland Union Railway but that failed. Then came the Midland Railway, which they expected would have reached Llandovery, but the scheme which was to have connected this town with that system of railways collapsed before the com- mittee of the House of Commons, so that Llandovery was left without a railway. They said competition was healthy for trade, and so were boils for the body. (Laughter ) But the town of Llandovery had felt the competition severely, and it was now hoped that it would reclaim that traffic which had been drawn else- where by artificial means. (Hear, hear.) Some such efforts were made by the late Capt. Lewis, Mr Charles Bishop, and himself some years ago, when they were induced to try to secure the benefit of railway com- munication. Ultimately there was a railway con- structed, which left a gap of fifty miles between the terminus and Llandovery, and personally he could not but feel gratified to find that the gap had been filled up by the completion of the Central Wales Railway. (Cheers.) He explained the circumstances under which the Central Wales Company came into the field. Being anxious to secure a through route to the north, and seeing no hope of the Mid Wales filling up the gap from Llanidloes to Llandovery, a meeting was called in 1864, to which the directors of the Central Wales were invited. That company had got to Llan- drindod, and it was ultimately agreed that they should make the line to Llandovery, and have running powers over the Vale of Towy line. That agreement was carried out by Mr Green Price, to whose indomitable perseverance they were indebted for the completion of the railway. It was through the exertions of Mr Price that the Loudon and North Western Company took the line under their control. He pointed out the advantages of the line to them, and they were not slow to appreciate the central position of Llandovery. He believed that in years to come it would be found to be one of the best movements the London and North Western had ever made. The Central Wales could defy competition, either to the right or to the left. In conclusion he remarked that Mr Robertson had stuck manfully to his vessel, had guided her skilfully between the rocks and shoals, and had at last triumphantly brought her to her destination. (Applause.) He proposed the health of Mr Robertson. (The toast was warmly received.) Mr Robertson in response, after returning thanks in the usual manner, said that when asked to look at the site of the proposed line with Mr Price he could not see that it was likely to be renumerative. However, he examined the country, and although Radnorshire looked uninviting, still it had certain things to re- commend in it. He was pleased with the valleys, and when he got up to the Sugar Loaf and looked around from the top he felt certain that the line was geographi- cally right, and worth engaging in. It was hardly necessary to refer to what they had done. They were not able to get through the whole line, and therefore they only went to Knighton. They got to Llan drindod next, and now they got it to Llandovery. It was not their fault but their misfortune that like other unfinished railways they were caught two years ago in the financial panic which caught others (hear, hear), and but for the assistance they received from the London and North Western Company, they would not have been where they were to-day (applause.) Acting under what he would call the enlightened and able direction of their managers, and under the direction of Mr Moon and his colleagues, they had relieved and assisted the Central Wales Company, and now congra- tulate each other on the completion of the line (hear, hear.) He believed that perhaps it was not impro- per to look back when they thought of the steps they had made, and the efforts they had put forth to accomplish what they had done. Perhaps if they looked back now they could do so with joy and gratification, but he would not like to do the same again (laughter.) In fulfilment of the application of the district, in fulfilment of the North Western Rail- way Company to give them the traffic which they had done so much to promote, they had carried out the line, and now it was for those gentlemen with property in the district, and for the traders of Swansea, to reward those who had given them the line. (Cheers ) He was satisfied that having regard to the advantages which this line was to confer, having the gem of a watering-place, Tenby, and many other advantages, it was, he believed, destined to become a great success, and amply to repay all those who were, as yet, unre- warded for the line they had formed. (Hear, hear.) As an engineer of the railway he might say that they had done the best they could. The viaduct near Cynghordy would bear examination, and they did not wish to do any work which would not be a feature both of import- ance and of pleasure. The tunnel had been referred to by the chairma? who mentioned Mont Cenis. He by the chairma fc, tdfetget the fact that it took capital seemed, howeven  the fact that it took capital to get over the top?c??hill. The tunnel they had been obliged to pierce, aw the traveller went in at one end, and emerged at tne other into the daylight and a beautiful prospect, and was very glad to get out of it. not feeling at all grateful to them for it. (Applause.) On behalf of himself, and those engaged with him in the construction of the line, be begged to tender his thanks for the toast. He concluded by moving a vote of thanks to the Vale of Towy Directors. (Applause.) At this stage, it being close upon five o'clock, the proceedings abruptly terminated, in order to allow the d rectors to return northwards in the magnificent saloon carriages in which they were carried down in the morn- ing. There were several toasts on the list, which had, consequently, to be abandoned, and amongst them were the Directors of the Vale of Towy Railway, the health of the able secretary, Mr C. Bishop, jun., the Directors of the Llanelly Railway, and other complimentary toasts.
