TO TIN rinAPENDENT LIVERY OF TILE CITY OF LONDON
Grimmer,
NY absence, in Ireland, on the business of the
Corporation of the Irish Society, has prevented my address-
you as a candidate for the office of Chamberlain until now.
Having this morning returned to London, from Dublin, I find that
the nomination, having been originally fixed for Monday last, has
beat postponed until TO-MORROW, which gives me the opportunity
ON declaring myself a CANDIDATE, and of soliciting your suffrages;
SW I regret that the haste with which the election has been hurried
OnAusing my absence prevents the possibility of my making a per-
renal canvass, or using those means which have been so abundantly
put in practice by another candidate ; but I trust that the Livery of
Ueda% who love to sea fair play, will not allow their free Oleic° to
be controlled by such hasty proceedings.
Aly,clahni to the office which I now solicit should be shortly and
plainly stated :
They consist of nine years' service as an Alderman of London,
biting also filled the office of Sheriff, in 1832, and that of the Chief
Negtetrste, of the City during the last year.
The unanimous votes of thanks which I received from the Livery
flifid the Court of Aldermen and Common Council, together with
Others from numerous bodies of citizens, [I have been led to believe
whichut a correct expression of the general opinion of the manner in
I performed the arduous duties of the Mayoralty, as well as
thege of a Magistrate of your City.
As a Member of the House of Commons, elected by the free choice
115,000 of your independent neighbours of Southwark.and returned
in six successive Parliaments, my conduct has been uniformly con-
'latent in supporting the corporate rights and privileges of the City
CC London, and in promoting every sound and liberal measure in the
Cvninons' House of Parliament.
Ihe numerous unsolicited offers of support which I have received,
and the voluntary formation of a Committee during my absence to
potnote my election, gives me:the fullest assurance of success ; and
'relying o year attendance at the noination to-morrow, confidently
&wadinn g upon your cordial and generous support by polling early.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
ik Your obedient humble servant,
JOHN HUMPHERY.

BROWN FOR CHAMBERLAIN.
LIVERYMEN OF LONDON.
GSsTLIII W,
The shortness'. of the period between the decease of the late Sir
William lienate, and the day fixed for the election of his successor,
together with the extent of the constituency, and the multifarious ar-
rangements of a contested election, will prevent me from paying my
personal respects to every Liveryman ; and you will, therefbre, I
%rug, make allowance for my apparent neglect in this respect.
I beg leave respectfully to announce, that the Common Hall will
La held To-moltow, the sth instant, and that the Lord Mayor will
so upon the hustings precisely at One o'Cloek, and earnestly request
She favour of your early attendance for the purpose of supporting my
jsamination on the show of hands; and that you will be good enough
to remain and record your vote in my favour upon the poll, should it
tocoine necessary to do so. •
While I gratefully acknowledge the kindness of the Livery, in the
ilarnerous promise* of support which 1 have received, I beg to hn-
yress upon you, that the question, whether my sanguine expectations
sire to be realised, depends upon the electors individually.
The importance of an early vote must be manifest to every one
conversant with elections ; and I therefore entreat your vote on
'Thursday ;—should you,ltucl it impracticable to attend on that day,
you will do me the great tit kindness by voting before twelve o'clock
OD Friday.
The attempts to make this a political question are most manifest ;
but I rejoice to assure you, that I number amongst my supporters
Liverymen of every shade of political opinion, who feel, and I can-
riot but think most justly, that the question of comparative fitness
Or the office now vacant is wholly foreign from politics.
With great respect, I have the honour to remain, Sir,
Your much obliged and faithffil servant,
ANTHONY BROWN.
Central Committee-rooms, Guildhall Hotel, September 4th, 1844.

TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT LIVERY OF THE
CITY OF LONDON•

JGENTLEMEN',
RETURN you my most grateful thanks for the
numerous promises of support I have received in my canvass
ler the office of Chamberlain, placed at your dispAal by the decease
of Sir William Heygate.
The generous feeling manifested on my behalf has proved that my
past services for the public cause have not been forgotten; but as I
find that the claims of Mr. Alderman Brown, as Senior Alderman,
have been recognised by so many of my personal friends, who would
Otherwise have given me their support, I feel that upon the present
Occasion my pio:pects of success are not sufficiently strong to war-
Tan. las), giving you the trouble, anode xposing my friendly opponents
to the expense of continuing a prtacted struggle. I therefore re-
spectfbily withdraw my pretensions to the distinguished office to
Which I have aspired.
During the two years in which, by your suffrages, I filled the high
and distinguished position of Lord Mayor, I did not expect that an
he aourable office in your gift would have been to me an object of
vsire ; but as I have retired from commercial life, and have now
so• own time at my own disposal, I shall place myself again before
my fellow-citizens whenever an occasion may arise to appeal to their
atarrages.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your most faithful and obedient servant,
JOHN KEY.

EXTRAORDINARY AND NOVEL ATTRACTIONS.
This Week, being the Anniversary of the Great Fire of London,
Mr. Southby has arranged to give extraordinary effects to this
matchless representation, and introduce a display of the admired
water, jets de feux, with other devices, to form a GRAND
PYROTECHNIC DISPLAY.
On MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, and TAURSDAY,
throughout the Season, the Gardens will open with the following
attractive Novelties :
THE PICTURESQUE GROUNDS—FEEDING OF THE
A NIM A LS—UNRIV A LLED MENAGERIE.
MODELS of VENICE and LONDON in the OLDEN TIME,
Painted by Damon and Telbin.
The sensation caused by this unrivalled prutuction is beyond all
fbirtaer precedent ; the artist, the amateur, the casual observer
are all struck with its extraordinay beauty and fidelity of delinea-
tion, and are unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderfhl ex-
hibition ever witnessed. To view it only as a vehicle for the terrific
isplay at Dusk is unjust ; it should be seen in the calm stillness of
the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa-
cious Lake, to be fully appreciated.
Beethoven's celebrated Battle Sinfonia, de.criptive of an En..
Ilagement between the French and Englisn Armies.
The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS on Mondays, Tues..

ATTEMPTED SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning, about
half-past nine, a decently attired female, about 30, deli-
berately jumped from the third recess on the City side of
Black friars-bridAe. The Minerva, Richmond steamer,
was psenng beneath the arch at the time, and the woman
in falling grazed slightly against the side of the steamer;
she then fell into the water, but the brisk wind which
prevailed inflating her garments, prevented her from
sinking, and she continued to float till a boat put off from
the stairs, when she was picked up and conveyed to the
station, Black Horse-court, when she was found to have
received no other injury than a slight bruise, occasioned
by her striking against the Minerva.
