TO THE ELECTORS OF WESTMINSTE.R.

GENTLEILEN,
IBELIEVE I am asserting but a fact, that at
the last general election, a majority of your body were de-
sirous of recording their votes for me. We need not now stop to in-
quire by what neglect or juggle a stain on your hitherto bright and
long-established fame was then inflicted. But you and myself conse-
quently are placed in a peculiar position.
Under such circumstances—after so many years in your service—
after so many marks of your confidence, which I have scorned to
betray or abuse, or to pander for fee or reward, it has remained im-
perative on me to be prepared to co-operate in removing that dis-
credit.
Bat a week sines I stated, at the Instance of pure minded and in-
fluential electors who enjoy your esteem, my determination to fulfil
that obligation. The occasion has arisen. lam present with you to
fulfil my part. Last night a numerous assembly of your public-
spirited local representatives, at which I was present, decided on
this contest. In five preceding contests their decisions have been
with me, irrevocable. Never before have I been honoured with a
more kind, generous, or unanimous reception.
1 need not tell you, I am a free-trader, total and immediate; not,
however, of a few weeks or mouths, but of many years, when the
cause was In contempt and disrepute, and when its support was not
the road to worldly advantage. And I have no motive now to aban-
don it—nor will Sir R. Peel find amongst his most obsequious fol-
lowers dr officials a more ardent supporter of his present measures.
But, gentlemen, though deeply conscious of the necessity of unqua-
lified assistance to these measures, I am not so silly a political or
party pedant as to believe that this is the sole matter worthy of con-
sideration, that there are not also other quite as great objects of Civil
and Religious Equality and Amelioration to be yet struggled or.
04 these I will, you know, be also a staunch adherent. And I will no.,
watt to be so for the colaversions of the great and powerful.
The day of election will arrive quickly. Yon will find me, then.
and intermediately, at my post. I will do my duty, to the best of
tmy humble ability—do you yours ; and lam sure I need not call to
your recollection, that the first and paramount of all political tulle-
tiOnS are these of electors. It is they who have truly the power to
etch their governors that a just, upright, and honourably consistent
course can alone receive their permanent sanction.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your faiLE thful Servant.

LADY lIESTER STANHOPE'S MEMOIRS.
in 3 vols , with Portrait, &c., 31s. 6d. bound.
" Lady Hester Stanhope possessed a rapid and deep insight into
httina character, and her remarks upon the distinguished persons
with whom she was acquainted, as well as of the many travellers
who visited her at Joon, are always pointed and searching, if not
always just. All the passages relating to her uncle, Mr. Pitt, are of
striking interest, add her strictures upon the character and conduct
of the politicians and intriguants of the day art irresistibly finalising
and foreible."—Morrning Chronicle.

NOTICE.
The Shareholders of this Company are informed that for the pur-
pose of effectually carrying out the original undertaking, and in
pursuance of arrangements for amalgamation concluded with other
companies, and of others still pending, the Directors find it neces-
ears to divide the capital into shares of 20/. each ih lieu of the exist-
ing shares of 25/., and to increase the present deposit of five per cent.
to ten per cent., which is also necessary for the purpose of complying
with the standing orders of the houses of Parliament.
The holder of four existing `2,5/. shares will, therefore, be entitled
to receive five new shares of 201. each.
The Shareholders are required to pay on or before Monday the 23d
instant the further sum of I/. ss. on the shares respectively held by
them, and for this purpose to deposit with the Secretary at the
Company's offices, 15, Old Jewry Chambers, London, on or before
the 18th inst. the scrip for the same, together with an application
for registry and exchange in the annexed form.
The requisite order to one of the Company's bankers to receive the
increased deposit will be issued within two days after the registry
of the scrip, and on the production of the bankers receipt new scrip
will be issued.
All scrip in respect of which the Shareholders shall fail to take the
necessary steps for payment of the required deposit, within the
specified time, will be absolutels forfeited.
The Directors have much pleasure in informing the Shareholders
that the petition for the requisite Act of incorporation has been pre
suited and that they are actively engaged in prosecuting the same.
In consequence of the depression in the money market the Direct.

possible moment to which they could with safety do so.
Forms of application for registry and exchange of scrip may be
obtabled on application to the Secretary at the Company's offices.

OIR 1 HILIP EGERTON.---Sir Philip Egerton met his
constituents at Knutsford on Friday last,- to tender his resignation as
member for Cheshire, stating that he should feel it his duty to sup-
port Sir Robert Peel's meastire—for, from either him or Lord John
Abseil, it was evident they must have free trade, and it would be
judjelous to support the present Minister rather than to have Whigs
in Office again ; although, perhaps, there was no difference now be.
