1 o THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF
LONDON.

GENTLEMEN,
The resolutions unanimously passed yesterday at the Meeting of
A Ins Liberal party, are of so flattering a character, that I hasten to
inform yen of my intention to come forward as one of the Candidates
for the honour of representing the City of Loudon in the next Perlis-
- meat,
Although I have not had many opportunities of taking a prominent
• Part in public affairs, my name has been for many years familiar to
Yuri. my life has been spent entirely among you, and should you do
t me 'the honour of returning me as your representative, you will find
in Ine an anxious and zealons'promoter of themercantile, commercial,
ar.d monetary interest of your great city. In 1839, in the petition to
F ornament, I recorded my adhesion to those principles of commercial
%Iberty which have since met With more general favour than they then
attained, and which we have now sopa carriedlnto sopcessful, although
Partial operation. In the event of my return as one of your repre-
sentatives, it will be my duty and pleasure to watch over and to pro-
mote the development of a system, which, under adverse circum-
• stances altogether beyond human foresight or control, has still realised
every rear,onable anticipation.
I era ,anicloas to extend the blessings of education to all classes of
the co/ nmunity, and to remove every obstacle which religions

of ".ny fellow-citizens.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF
LONDON.

GENTLEMEN,
}keying received very flattering assurances of support, I beg to
al'./ounce my Intention of offering myself as a Candidate, at the en-
wiing Election, to represent the City of London.
My life has been spent in mercantile pursuits—my own interests
are identified with those of a large portion of the constituency.
Commercial questions of importance must be brought before the
new Parliament, and I seek upon a wider sphere to promote the
trade and commerce of London, by carrying out those sound princi-
ples of legislation which I advocated as an individual before they
were adopted by Parliament. or stamped with popular approbation.
It is chiefly upon these grounds that I venture to solicit your
suffrages, and ask you to confer upon me the highest honour to
which a merchant of London can aspire. I am a Freeman and
Liveryman of the City, and -I shall always be ready to attend to the
business of the Corporation, and to support its interests consistently
with the general good.
We have, fortunately, arrived at a period when no bitter party ani-
mosities exist, and when we may hope measures intended for the
social 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 the public funds appropriated to that object ; bet whilst
I am desirous of acting justly by the members of other religions per-
suasions, I shall not forget what is due to the Protestant faith, to
which I am sincerely attached.
I am prepared to agree to such modification of the details and such
r Improvement In the administration of the poor-laws as experience
may dictate, ensuring to extreme want, and to the aged, the young,
and the infirm poor, that support and assistance to which they are
justly 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 mvernment.
Attached as I have been through life, to that party by which, in
my judgment, the civil and religions liberties of the country have been
best prometed ; and, prepared as I am to support the present Admi-
nistration, in the confident hope that by its influence wise and salu-
tary measures to extend those blessings will be adopted, I shall,
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,
Your very faithful obedient Servant,
GEORGE LARPENT.

rrO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF
LONDON.

GENTLEMEN',
Under 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-
ndence I have received 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 am induced again to offer myself as a Candidate for the honour of
your suffrages.
My long intimate connexion with the constituency, my oft re-
corcied votes on the main passing political topics of the day, render it,
I rnusi:, unnecessary ror me now to enter into a minute analysis of
1127 opinhans, and will be I hope a sufficient excuse for my not under-
going the 'revere ordeal of a personal canvass.
It is well known I am generally a warm supporter of the present
Government, reserving totnyseif a right of individual judgment, and
a perfect independence of action.
As matters of great importance must be submitted to the conside-
ratlim of the next Parliament, esrecially 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
such measures propounded with a view of benefiting the people at
large, and of widening the sphere of their political power and im-
portance, will continue to receive, as heretofore, my constant and
unflinching support.
1 have no hesitation in expressing my high satisfaction at being as-
socated on this occasion with Lord John Russell, the Prime Minister
of thin country, whose services in the cause of Reform and claims on
the Lk:eral party ought never to be forgotten; and with two other
one of 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 numerous interests will ever receive my
constant care and attention ; and referring you to my past political
life as the best guarantee forl
beg m future conduct.
y to subscribe myself
Your faithful servant,
J. PATTISON.

TO THE ELECTORS AND CITIZENS OF
WESTAIL'iSTER.

GENTLEMEN',
I find.lfrthe joitrnals of this day, an address to his constituents
from the Prime Minister. The Dissclution then) is near, end the
time arrived for acquainting you that I am again a Candidlte, this
seventh time, for a renewal of the trust with which you have so long
honoured me.
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 use support. Tbus situated, I need scarcely observe that any
Interference in the contests of others by such Committee as may on

the dissointionhonourme
i; conducting my election, may not be
conducive to my interests, standing, as I do, on the separate ground
of accepted services as yonr old representative.
• At four contests, yon placed on record, majorities in my favour of
037,.1,060, 1,095. and 1,132. Twice also you returned me against the
whole weight of Government influence. 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 exercise of the most
)mportant of all political functions - that of the franchise. The pre•
eminent City of Westminster, ever distinguished by pure and ho-
nouratge conduct, will continue to maintain its elevated position as
an exatnple 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 liberkies and well-being of all classes of the ,
people. I have the honour to rema,n,

SOUTH AUSTRALIAN BANKING COllPANt.—Yester-
il.-ty the sixth annual Meeting of this company was held
at the office in Old Broad-street, City. The chair was
6 taken by E. Divett, Esq., M.P. Mr. W heeler, the London
manager, read the report for the past year, from which
it appeared that the commerce of South Australia had
been grt atly 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 40 tllss 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 slot of 2,1a,T, 1947,
was 11,600!. 19s. Ild. The directors recommended that
-.7 from this balance the sum of 1,6001. be applied in reduc-
tion of preliminary expenses, and that 1,000/. be added
to the reserve fund, leaving a sum more than sufficient
Ira dividend 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
n, ;lain G. Davenport, Esq., and Sir J. Pirie, Bart., was
also elected. A vote of thanks was passed to the
directo,"s, to &Ir. Wheeler, the London manager, and to
the boar{ tend manager at Adelaide, when the meeting
so separated.
