TES NEW LORD MAYOR A CANDIDATE POE
PARLIAMENTARY HONOURS.

The new lord mayor is a candidate in the con-
secrative interest for the representation of Southampton,
sod has issued the following address :
"Gentlemen,—A vacancy having occurred in the rept.
mutation of your borough, sod having been requested by as
influential deputation to do so, I venture respectfully to
offer myself as • candidate for your suffrages. Whilst en.
gretting the came of the present vacancy, I am glad of an
opportunity of making myself better acquainted with your
important town, and I now proffer my beet services w the
promotion of your social and commercial interests. 14
political principles are liberal-conservative, and it W.ll be
one of my first duties to support such measures as will
maintain intact the national honour. I am, therefore, of
opinion that the army, navy, and defences f the nanny
should be kept in a most efficient condition, so that we mar
be independent of toy warlike movements which may l
adopted by other power, but I think that the expense
this should be reduced to the lowest possible estimate con.
sisteut with efficiency. Having been from the commence.
meat • warm supporter of the volunteer movement,
continue of opinion that it is calculated to promote, as is
has done, • feeling of confidence in the debility of our initi.
tutions, which is so essential to the welfare of the people and
the success of commerce. If returned as your represents.
ties, it will be my duty to uphold that happy constitution
under which we live, to preserve the relations between
church and state, to remove as far me possibleall restrictioca
upon trade and commerce, and to modify those inequalities
in taxation which may unduly press on precarious incomes.
Although sincerely attached to the Church of England,
I think that all sects and denominations shou:d
have the most complete freedom of worship ac.
cording to their respective creeds, and I desire
that education should be promoted amongst all claw:.
I am prepared to support any measure that al
settle the question of church-rtes on an equitable bus.
Vinilst deploring the fratriddal contest now taking place
in Metric', I approve of the principle of non-intervention
which has hitherto been proposed, yet I trust, should her
Majesty's government find it possible, by a judicious
mediation, to arrest the horrors of war, sod alleviate the
suffering of our fellow-uountrymen in Lancashire. they will
neglect no opportunity of doing so. If returned as you
representative, the consideration of all matters of local
interest, especially that of extending works calculated to
improve your town and port, will be my constant care. I
shall take the earliest opportunity of addressing a public
meeting of the constituents, and as far as time will permit
of personally soliciting their support. —I have the hour to
be, gentlemen, your obedient servant,
" WILLIAM A. lloso.
