" Gutta Percha Company's Works, City Road,
London, Bth June, 183. _

" SIRS,—We consider it only our duty to inform you of
the entire preservation of all the Books and Papers,* con-
tained in the large Safe you recently supplied us with,
although exposed during Sunday last to a fire which de-
stroyed the larger part of our Works--this is the more re-
markable, as the intense heat has in many parts melted the
outside of the Safe.
"We are of opinion, that so successful a vindication of
the merits of your invention cannot, on public grounds, be
too generally known ; and we therefore leave you at liberty
to use this letter in any way you may wish.
"We are, Sirs, your obedient Servants,

TO ITHE ELECTORS OF PITT-STREET WARD.

GENTLEMEN,
TN an ably-drawn Requisition, presented this day,
I am called upon to allow myself to be NOMINATED
as one of your Representatives in the Town Council, on the
specific ground that an attempt is to be made to place the
Electors and the Elected in their only proper position.
As it is known that I am not ambitious of a seat in the
Council, and have, therefore, never asked for one, I can well
afford the use of my name, if it will serve you, in fighting
that battle of principle so clearly set forth in your requisi-
tion to me, and in the one intended for Mr. Aikin—docu-
ments which, I hope, will be extensively read in all the
Wards.
Whether you win or lose, so far as the choice of a Re-
presentative is concerned, the result will be of no conse-
quence to me individually, because as I do not offer myself,
or solicit your votes, I can neither be " defeated" by an op-
ponent, nor " rejected" by the constituency. But, in any
event, if the object in view be vigorously supported, the
men of Pitt-street Ward will make irresistible progress to-
wards establishing the only true principle for rendering a
representative body what it ought to be ; while, should you
also carry your own Candidate, your triumph will, indeed,
be worthy of the best struggle that can be made—not for
any man breathing, but for the cause you have evidently at
heart.

Since retiring from editorial life, I have declined almost
all public labours ; but should your zeal for a great principle
place me in a position of public duty, I will do the best I
can to justify your noble and truly constitutional efforts.
I remain, gentlemen, as I have always been, your inde-
pendent fellow-townsman and friend.

COMMENCEMENT OF HOSTILITIES
BETWEEN RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

WAR has at length commenced. The first skir-

wish has been engaged in—the first shots inter-

changed—and the first victims have fallen in the
Russo-Turkish struggle ! This intelligence we

were not at • all unprepared for, seeing throughout
the persistency with which the EMPEROR was car-
rying out his aggressive policy; in the face of the

OTTOMAN Empire, and in defiance of the remon-

trances of the principal CABINETS of Europe

However the die is now cast ; and the AUTOCRAT

nust only expect to reap the reward of his exces-
ive folly and wilful obduracy. What this reward

will be remains to be ascertained ; but-as " coming

events cast their shadows before " the discerning
eye might see it " looming in the distance !"
The Moniteur •of yesterday morning contains a
telegraphic despatch received by the French Go-
vernment from its Consul-General at Bucharest.

It is dated the 25th of October, and reads as fol-

" Two Russian steamers, and eight gun-boats forced a
passage on the Danube on Sunday, the 23rd, and encount.
ered a smart fire from the forte of Isactcha, situated on 1e
borders of the river between Reni and Ismail. The lus-
giallo had a lieutenant-colonel, commanding the flotilla three
