INthe zu u rro of the CITY of LONDON.
GlCeTtloolx.-1 have cm Neural occaakets been
by influential cation of Landon to allow myself to be
as a candidate whenever a vacancy should occur in the maw
asatalioa of the City.
The letter which W appeared this morning In the Thaw"
tram oar respected representative, sir James Duke, awaoestelog
his intention of retiring from Parliament, renders it necessary
that some response should be oven by me to the bag expres-
sions of those who have thought that I should not prove an an-
worthy rspreeentetive of the great 'literate entrusted to a mem-
ber of Parliament for the City of Loudon.
I beg to assure you that I should esteem it an honour to be
one of the representatives In the Bowe of Commons for the
City of London, having for many years been actively sawed in
the public affairs of the City, and largely latereetad la its *ads
and committee. _ _

iyaltaeltment to the liberal canes is well known to the
electors. I always advocated end supported those liberal
miseiples which have tended se materially to promote the pew-
of ail alarm in this coantry, and Cl the same time ham
rdt strength and security to the constitatke.
The position of chief magistrate, in which the favour of my
fellow citizens he. pissed roe, encourages lses to hops that
may be honoured with the confidence of the electors, who may
Seel asared that in entrusting tome the microns reap:mobili-
ties and duties of their representative be Inirbansent, those re-
sponsibilities will ever be kept in view, sad Shoes duties ear-
nest 4 and faithfully discharged.
