LONDON, TUESDAY E E -

TD THE TENDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF
BOROUGH OF GREENWICH.

Gentlemen,
Since my last address, in consequence of another candidate hav-
ing solicited your suffrages, I have attended three large public meet-
ings in your borough, where I have explained my political:oPinions
and answered such questions as were propounded, and, judging from
the feeling manifested and the resolutions passed upon those occa-
sions, to the complete satisfaction of all the electors there present.
As however many of the voters in so large a constituency were
necessarily absent it is fit that, for their information, I should shortly
state that those opinions comprise—
Further Reform in Parliament by the abolition of the Property
Qualification and removal of the Jewish Disabilities of Members ;
a more equal division of Electoral Districts ; Shortening the duration
of Parliaments to three years ; Extension of the Suffrage to resi-
dents paying rates ; and, to secure Purity and Freedom of Election—
the Vote by Ballot.
Reform in Church Government so as to gain to our Clergy and
Established Church, of which I am en attached member, the re-
spect of all classes and commanions, and this will involve such an
appropriation of its revenues as will lead to the Entire Abolition of
Church Rates.
Legislative provision for the free Education of the humbler and less
fortunate classes of the community.
Perfect Freedom for all Creeds and Farms of Worship, but a dis-
rontinuance of the annual grant to Maynooth—the reasons upon
which it was originally founded having entirely ceased.
Decided OpposiVon to the erroneous policy of Protective Duties,
and to every attempt to re-impose, in any form, a duty upon the
importation of foreign corn.
Amendment of the Law, so as to secure to all classes, at
small expense, and with little delay, its pure and sound administra-
tion in every department.
Such careful economy in the management of the Finances of the
nation as shall diminish taxation, and at the same time maintain till
the public services in an efficient state.
Upon these im ortant points, as attached to the Liberal Party and
a Constitutional Reformer, I submit my sentiments to the attention
of the Electors. A competitor of Rank and Influence, professing
somewhat similar opinions, has now opposed himself to me; reducing
the contest to the question whether the borough shall be Indepen
dently or Officially represented. Should the independent voters of
the borough resolve to return me as their Member it is in their
power to do so, and they may rest satisfied that I will not betray
their confidence or discredit their choice.
I remain, Gentlemen, your obed'Ment servant,
ONTAGU CHAMBERS.

B RITISH AUS MALIAN GOLD MINING
CO MPANY.
In order to convince the public that this Company is not liable to
the Joint Stock Companies Registration Act, and that, consequently,
no deed is required, and no further liability can be incurred, the
London Committee beg to state that they have obtained the
OPINION of Sir FREDERIC TIIESIGER on the point, of which
the following is a copy:—
" I am of opinion that the British Australian Gold Mining Com-
pany is exempt from the operation of the Joint Stock Companies
Registration Act. This company was not established in any part of
the United Kingdom in the sense of the Legislature, which sanse ap-
pears to me to be clearly conveyed by the enactment that the Act is
to apply to every joint stock company established in Scotland, and
having an office or place of business in any other part of the United
Kingdom. From which expressions two things may be inferred :
First, that the word • established' is intended to point to the place
where the company was formed or founded; and, secondly, that but
for this special provision with re'pect to Scotland, merely having a
place of business in the United Kingdom would not have brought a
Scotch company within the operation of the Act. The company in
questioa was formed or established at Sydney, and there is nothiig
in the Act which will make the formation of a branch or place of
business here equivalent to establishments.
(Signed) " FREDERIC THESIGER.

CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.
Thofisands of pounds are expended very ridiculously in
presents fonyoulh, and the greater part in articles not valued, be-
cause not adapted for display, and too frequently not for use ; how
much more gratifying would be an article that could be worn ? Give
a girl a new tippet, cloak, or snuff, or a boy a new top-coat or a suit
of clothes, and there is something to gratify the pride, somthem ethingthe
to
boast of among their acquaintancq, something to last
season, and do them a real service. Those, therefore, who make
presents, and particularly to their own children, should beer in mind
that they would be infinitely more delighted at an article of dress as
a Christmas present than with any toy, or book, or useless play-
thing, even if it only anticipated the period at which they would have
had it a few weeks. Messrs. E. MO 4EB and SON have laid them-
selves out in anticipation of this being generally done by all thought-
ful parents and relations ; and they respectfully invite all classes to
take their children to the Monarch Mart, in Aldgate an I the
Minories, or their West-end Branch Establishment, corner of Hart-
street, New Oxford-street, wherb they will see the finest assortment
of dresses for all ages and conditions, made of the best materials, of
the newest faskions, and the most exquisite workmanship, and
where the gorgeous fittings-up andiconvenient rooms for dressing and
fitting on, form a complete exhibition. Moreover, they will see
the price marked on every article of dress, and be convinced at once
that it is less than half that charged by ordinary tailors for inferior
goods.
