GIKTLEMEN,
THE lamented death of my much respected friend,
Mr. Pattison, having caused a vacancy in the representation
of this City, I have received a requisition, conveyed to me in most
ratifying terms, from a large and influential body of electors, to of-
r nlYself as a candidate to fill that vacancy.
of for many years I have been honoured by the confidence
of the electors of Roston, I have not hesitated, in the situation and
under the circumstances in which lam placed, to accede to the re-
quisition and become a candidate for your suffrages.
MY conduct in Parliament for twelve eventful years has been be-
ore you.
I have been the constant advocate of civil and religious liberty ;
_
I have supported all measures for removing restriction on com-
merce and for promoting the industry of the country, giving,
,„
the same time, a cordial support to the Government of Lord J.
Fussell.
I‘lY Past conduct, therefore, will be the best security to you that I
~
• continue the same course of public duty if honoured by your
auPPort ; and it will be my study to hold myself accessible at all
times when the business of this great commercial community may
require either my advice or assistance.
In the honourable position in which I am placed it has been my
4:Xious desire to uphold the dignity of my office, and to promote the
.15 st interests of my fellow-citizens ; and, in aspiring to the high ho-
nour of becoming one of the representatives of this great city, with
which I have been connected for upwards of thirty years, I beg to
assure you that, should you be pleased to place me in that distin-
guished station, it will be a powerful additional motive to devote my-
!elf to Your service, and to endeavour, by my public conduct, to jus-
tify the confidence you place in me as representing your important
nterests in the Commons House of Parliament.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your faithful, humble servant,
JAMES DUKE.

_ the 0 DEFERRED ANNUITIES.
peration of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
[ford
to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
r?lls than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con-
tributionl. of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
c"! e either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
d` his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
ath ; by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
sainPle resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
lih,ould the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
.ke following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
'ages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure
tough this Society.
