best prometed ; and, prepared as I am to support the present Admi-
nistration, in the confident hope that by its influence wise and salu-

nevertheless, endeavour, In every instance , to form a right individual
judgment, and to maintain that independence which becomes the
Representative of the City of London.

I have the honour to be,

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF
LONDON.

GENTLEMEN,

Linder ordinary circumstances, I should on the dissolution of the
present Parliament, have preferred retiring from public life, tender-
ing you my grateful acknowledgements for the many proofs of con-
fidence I have receivad at your hands ; but in deference to the
strongly expressed wishes of many of my old friends and supporters
and the flattering resolutions passed this day at the London Tavern,
I MU induced again to offer myself as a Candidate for the honour of
your suffrages.
My long intimate connexion with the constituency, my oft re-
corded votes on the main passing political topics of the day, render it,
I trust, unnecessary for me now to enter into a minute analysis of
my opinions, and will be I hope a sufficient excuse for my not under-
going the severe ordeal of a personal canvass.
_

It is well lsnown I am generally a warm supporter of the present
Government, reserving to myself a right of individual judgment, and
a perfect independence of action.
As matters of great importarce must be submitted to the Conside-
ration of the next Parliament, especially as regards the more exten-
sive realisation of those enlightened principles of unrestricted com-
merce which have recently been adopted, I can assure you that all
suck measures propounded with a view of benefiting the people at
Large. and of widening the sphere of their political power and inn-
portnuce, will continue to receive, as heretofore, my constant and
xmflinching support. _ . _

I ha •-e no Hesitation in expressing my high satisfaction at being as-
sociated on this occasion with Lord John Russell, the Prime Minister
et this country, whose services in the cause of Reform and claims on
the Liberal party ought never to be forgotten ; and with two other
gentlemen of high commercial and social position, by the return of
one of whom especially, the last barrier to civil and religious liberty
will, I believe, be removed.

In conclusion, should you again be pleased to confer upon me the
distinguished honour of representing you in Parliament, I can assure
you that your great and numenus interests will ever receive my
constant care and attention ; and referring you to my past political
life as the best guarantee for my future conduct,
I beg to subscribe myself
- Your faithful servant,
J. PATTISO37.

TO THE ELECTORS AND CITIZENS OF
WEST3IINSTER.

GINTLEMEN,

I find in the, journals of this day, an address to his constituents
from the Prime Minister. The Dissclution then is near, and the
time arrived for acquainting you that I am again a Candidate, this
seventh time, for a renewal of the trust with which you have so long
honoured ine.

Connected with Westminster for nearly twenty years, it is most
gratifying to me to hear, not only that several gentlemen of the
Liberal party have already kindly and unsolicitedly canvassed for
me—but that many of rather more extreme opinions intend also
to give me support. Thus situated, I need scarcely observe that any
interference in the contests of others by such Committee as may on
the dissolution honour me by conducting my election, may not be
conducive to my interests, standing, as I do, on the separate ground
of accepted services as your old representative.
At four contests, you placed on record, majorities in my favour of
937, 1,060, 1,09.5, and 1,132. Twice also you returned me against the
whole weight of Govertimentinfinence. These I take the liberty of
reminding you of. as my best testimonies of past fidelity, and best
guarantees of future conduct.
I will not presume to offer you counsel on the exorcise •f the most
important of all political functions that of the franchise. The pre.
eminent City of Westminster, ever distinguished by pure and ho-
nourable conduct, will continue to maintain its elevated position as
an example to the constituencies of the empire. For myself, I have
only to say that I also will continue my anxious and undeviating
efforts to promote the liberties and well-being of all classes of the
people. I have tie honour to rema!n,
Gentlemen, your faithful servant,

SOUTH AUSTRALIAN BANKING COMPANT.—Yester-
day the sixth annual meeting of this company was held
at the office in Old Broad-street, City. The chair was
taken by E. Divett, Esq., M.P. Mr. Wheeler, the London
manager, read the report for the past year, from which
it appeared that the commerce of South Australia had
been greatly increased by the extended working of the
-various copper and other mines found in the colony ;
and by the numerous additions to the population, through
large arrivals of labourers, with a fair proportion of ca-
pitalists. The local board and manager had, however,
in obedience to the wish of the directors, taken care that
none of the capital of the bank should be knowingly
risked in hazardous schemes. During the last year a
considerable and profitable business has been transacted
by the bank. The nett profits of the year's business
at Adelaide showed an increase over last year. The nett
total of profits at Adelaide and London for 1846-7,
after every deduction, inclnding the 1,0001. voted to the
directors at the last meeting, was 9,383/. 14s. 2d., the
balance of undivided profits on the 31st of May, 1847,
-was 11,600/. 19s. lid. The directors recommended that
froni this balance the sum of 1,600/. be applied in reduce
tine' of.preliminary expenses, and that 1,000/. be added
to the reserve fund, leaving a sum more than sufficient
io r a diviciend at the rate of five per cent. per annum.
After some discussion the report was adopted. J. B.
White, Esq., was elected a director in the place of the
late G. Davenport, Esq., and Sir
J. Pine, Bare, was
also re elected. Al vote of thanks was passed to the
1,
directors, to Mr. Wheeler, the London manager, and. to
the board and manager at Adelaide, when the meetin
separated. g
PATAL ACCIDENT ON WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE.—
An inquest was held yesterday by. NIL% Bedford, at the
.Ree Lion, Princes-street, Vv'e tminster, on the body of
Charles Barnett, aged 6:3, el' rk to a wine merchant
The evidence went to show that about nine o'clock on
Yriday morning last a cart laden with timber and drawn
by one belonging to Mr. Chamberlain, of the Bel-
vedere-road, Lambeth, was crossing Westminster bridge,
when, in passing a distiller's waggon, the horse became
restive, in consequence of a loud rattling of tins on the
-veEicsle. The driver, who had hold of the animal's
ibrAe, did all in his power to stop and quiet it without
*effect, and at length, overpowered. he let go his bold of
the animal, which ran on to the footpath on the left hand
aide elf the bridge. The deceased, who was walking
along, was knocked down by the shaft, and the off
wheel passed over both his legs. He was conveyed to
the Westminster Hospital, having received a compound
fractuwe of the left thigh; he sank and died on Saturday
evening from the shock arising from the accident. It
'Was stated this was the second person who had been
killed by the same horse, but there was nothing to show
that the anie lel was anywise viciously inclined. Verdict,
"Accidental L loath."

GENTLEmsw,
, The resolutions tinsuaimotisly passed yesterday at the Meeting of
Pas Liberal party, are of so flattering a character, that I hasten to
irdbrrn you of my intention to come forward as one of the Candidates
for the honour of representing the City of London in the next Parha-

Althongn I have not had many opportunities of taking a prominent
part in public affairs, my name has been for many years familiar to
You, my life has been spent entirely among you, and should you do
me the honour of returning me as your representative, you will find
in ir,e an anxious and zealous promoter of the mercantile, commercial,
an /A monetary interest of your great city. In 1839, in the petition to
l'arliamont, I recorded my adhesion to those principles of commercial
ZAberty which have since met with more general favour than they then
attained, and which we have now seen carried into successitl, although
Partial operation. In the event of my return as one of your repre-
sentative's, it will be my duty and pleasure to watch over and to pro-
mote We development of a system, which, under adverse circum-
stance', altogether beyond Minima foresight or control, has still realised
every reasonable anticipation.
I tam anxious to extend the blessings of education to all classes of
the community, and to remove every obstacle which religious
ontAnions may prersent, to a full participation in these benefits. lam
naturally, in every sense, a supporter of civil and religious liberty,
and rejoice in finding these feelings responded to by so large a portion
of my fellow-ceitizens.
Should I ",e so fortunate as to obtain, by your favour, the honour
of representing you, the great object of my ambition will be realised ;
and I shert endeavour to fulfil the duties of an independent Member
to the ur.nost of my power, and, I trust, to your satisfaction.
I have the honour to be your faithful and obedient servant,

710 THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF
LONDON.
GENTLEMEN,
Having received very flattering assurances of support, I beg to
announce my intention of offering myself as a Candidate, at the en-
suing Election, to represent the City of London.
My life has been spent, in mercantile pursuits—my own interests
are identified with tho'se of a large portion of the constituency.
Commercial question,. of importance must be brought before the
new I.,arliament, and I seek upon a wider sphere to promote the
trade and commerce of London, by carrying out those sound princi-
ples of legislatie a which I advocated as an individual before they
were adopted tv Parliament. or stamped with popular approbation.
It is chiefly epon these grounds that I venture to solicit your
suffrages, pled ask you to confer upon me the highest honour to
Which a 'merchant of London can aspire. I am a Freeman and
Liver Man of the City, and I shall always be ready to attend to the
busineess of the Corporation, and to support its interests consistently
with the general good.
W e have, fortunately, arrived at a period when no bitter party ani-
Inc,sities exist, and when we may hope measures intended for the
fir,cial improvement of the country will be considered with calmness
'and impartiality,
The extension of education shall receive ray warmest support. I
admit the right of every class in the community to share in the dis-
tribution of ttse public funds appropriated to that object; but whilst
I am desirotis of acting justly by the members of other religious per-
suasions, I shall not forget what Ls due to the Protestant faith, to
which Z. am sincerely attached.
I am prepared to agree to such modification of the details and such
imPro. cement in the administration of the poor-laws as experience
may dictate, ensuring to extreme want, and to the aged, the young,
an'l the infirm poor, that support and assistance to which they are
kastly entitled. Internal improvements, directed to benefit thehealth,
improve the morals, and to increase the comforts and enjoyments of
the great bulk of our population, shall receive my strongest approval,
but my aim will be not so much to create new institutions for these
purposes as to render those already existing more effective, still pre-
serving the principle of local self government.
