GEN-MEM:EN,
",• in 'Parliament as oue of y)ur Reprft,entatives tor
period of fifty-six yearn, the time has arrived when, notwith-
Staudlng your personal kindness and friendly feeling towards myself,
which, communicated from so many quarters, I cannot doubt would
Induce you to elect me (luring my life, I fuel it my duty to an-
nounce, that by reason of my advanced. age, I do not Intend to be
again a candidate for your representation.
I am, 1 believe, the oldest Member et tither House of the Legiala-
tnre, and I entertain the deepest feeling of gratitude and thankful-
ness to Divine Providence that my life has been spared to witness
the aecomplishment of all the great measures of public policy which
I was early taught hy my ruoit dear and ever-lamented friend, Mr. Fox,
tobe e.^"-teal to the Mil and perfect development of the English
ast; Tato.
I have lived to see every disability by reason of religious opinions
retn°`'ed the representation of the House of Commons placed upon
a most popular and, iu my judgment, sound and substantial founda-
tion all restriction upon the procurement of human food in the
ecatree of permanent abolition ; the people of England contented and
prosperous at home, their power universally felt and respected abroad,
and their policy and fYee institutions exercising a most beneficial
and salutary influence in every quarter of the globe ; and all
this under the reign of a Queen adorned by every virtue, and whose
Object and aim in life seem to be the welfare and happiness of her
subjects, and the general good of mankind.
I have only to add, that for you I shall to my dying hour entertain
the most sincere sentiments of affection and gratitude, and I feel
that the beet wish I can utter for my country is that all the con-
stituencies of the empire may ever be actuates by that steady and
rational love of civil and religious liberty, and attachment to
upright, houourable, and consistent public conduct, which I have for
upwards of half a century experienced, to be all•powerful in the
aunty of Ilfddies ex.
Your obliged and faithful servant,

Sept. 8. 1 846.
"Dear Sirs,—l have tried all the lead pencils you" forwarded to me,
od consider them the best I have ever had; indeed, it is impossible
to compare them with any others, as they possess qualities I
',ever yet found in pencils, amongst which I may name their beau-
Vital transparency and clearness. I have not only made use of them
41,fielt, but have had them tried by several students in this institu-
tion, and their excellence is acknowledged by my pupils. The double
/VS are moot superb pencils.

~" Gentlemen,—ln reply to your inquiry respecting my opinion of
:'i t e quality and value of your new pencils, I do not hesitate to say
t I Mal them excellent in all respects, with entire freedom from
Int, and working well, whether hard or sort. These qualities, coin.
Lined with their moderate price, render them very valuable to
artists and their pupils.

" Gentlemen,—l have tried the set of pencils which yea were so
geed as to send me, and I have no hesitation in expressing my opi-
nion that they are far superior to any that I have used for many
Years, perhaps, indeed to any that I ever used. Were the price of
thew three or four timee what it is, I should take them with plea-
sure; and I shall recommend them confidently to my friends,

"Gentlemen,--I have made use of your new pencils, and consider
them a most desirable acquisition either to the artist or the amateur.
They work pleasantly, and the variety of tint which they are capable
