TO TILE INDEPENDENT LIVERY AND ELECTORS OF THE
CITY OF LONDON.
GENTLEMEN,
ritE H flattering manner in which you have been
a. pleased to elect me to the distinguished position of one of your
representatives in Parliament demands my warmest acknowledg-
• Wants.
For the good opinion manifested towards me by the constituency
at large, as well as by the gentlemen who invited me to become a
candidate, I am deeply grateful ; and I feel justly proud of the high
honour conferred upon me under such gratifying circumstances.
Accessible at all times when my services may be required, it will
• be my constant endeavour to deserve your continued favour and con-
fidence, by attention to your local affairs and to the important com-
mercial and shipping interests of this great metropolis. You may
' also rely upon my adhering to that course of public duty which I
have pursued during the last twelve years in the House of Commons,
as the advocate of civil and religious liberty, freedom of commerce,
and of economical government, and which was yesterday ratified by
tho unauhrtous approval of the constituency of the city of London.
" • • I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your faithful and obliged servant,
JAMES DUKE.

QUERIES for the QUEEN.
As England's Queen has made a stay
Among the Highland laddios,
It is but right that she should pay
A visit to the Paddies.
The Queen will have a welcome there,
While bells from every steeple,
With merry music will declare
The gladness of her people.
But will our gracious Sovereign meet
Across St. George's waters,
With warmer hearts than those which beat
In England's sons and daughter:.
And when she views, with beaming smile,
The scenes which there await her ;
Will she be weaned from Albion's Isle,
And think Hibernia greater?
Much will she see in that famed part,
But when her visit closes,
Will she have seen a greater Mart
Than that of Messrs. Moses?
In Trowsers, Coats, and Waistcoats, too,
Will Ireland's shears or needle
Shame Moses' Mart, which stands in vier'
Of Aldgate's parish beadle ?
Or if she buy a Habit there,
In which she sometimes dresses,
Will she consider the affair
Better than M. and S.'s.

Ito answer need my readers give,
While thus they are surrounded
With stubborn facts, which negative
The queries I've propoundet
