B ROWN FOR CHAMBERLAIN,
LIVERYMEN OF LONDON.

GENTLENIEN,

While I gratefully acknowledge the kindness of the Livery, in the
numerous promises of support which I have received, I beg to im-
press upon you, that the question, whether my sanguine expectations
are 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 ttad it impra ble to attend on that day,
you will do me the grektest kin ss by Vtting before twelve o'clock
on Friday.

The attempts to nrAtke 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-
not but think most justly, that the question of comparative fitness
for 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 TEE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT LIVERY OF THE

CITY OF LONDON.

GENTLEMEM,
RETURN you my most grateful thanks for the
numerous promises of support I have received in my canvass
for the office of Chamberlain, placed at your disposal by the decease
of Sir William Ileygate.
The generous feeling manifested on my behalf has proved that my
past services for the public cause have not been forgotten ; but as I
end that the claims of Mr. Alderman Brown, as Senior Alderman,
have been recognised by so many °fray personal friends, who would
otherwise have given me their support, I feel that upon the present
occasion my prospects of success are not sufficiently strong to war-
rant nay giving you the trouble, and exposing my friendly opponents
to the expense of continuing a protracted struggle. I therefore re-
spectfully 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
honourable office in your gift would have been to me an object of
desire ; but as I have retired from commercial life, and have now
my own time at my own disposal, I shall place myself again before
my fellow-citizens whenever an occgsion may arise to appeal to their
suffrages: . . .

I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your most faithful and obedient servant,
JOHN' KEY.

" Those who have read the former publications of the author of
' Parsons and Widows,' will be prepared for the rich treat which is
supplied by his present work. The delineations of character with
which it abounds, and the incidents, evidently derived from facts—
action could not speak to the heart as these do—render the narratives
of the several clergymen who are supposed to give the strange and
eventful histories of their progress through life, replete with varied
interest. Certain downy doctors and rubicund rectors also come In
for a fair share of ridicule and reproof. The widows are hit off to
perfection, and are sure to please every one."—Globe.

ATTEUPTED SUlClDE.—resterday 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-bridge. The Minerva, Richmond steamer,
was passing 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
pievailed 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' trikiaz lima the Minerva.

TO THE INDEPENDZNT LIYERY OF TILE CITY OF LONDON
GENTLEMBN,
MY absence in Ireland, on the business of the
Corporation ottho Irish Society, has prevented my address-
ing you as a candidate for the office of Chamberlain until now.
Having this morning returned to London, from Dublin, I find that
the nomination, haying been originally fixed for Monday last, has
been postponed until TO-MORROW, which gives me the opportunity
of declaring myself a CANDIDATE, and of soliciting your suffrages ;
and I regret that the haste with which the election has been hurried
on during my absence prevents the possibility of my making a per-
sonal canvass, or using those means which have been so abundantly
put in practice by another candidate ; but I trust that the Livery of
London, who love to see fair play, will, not allow their free choice to
be controlled by such hasty proceedings.
My claims to the office whioh I now solicit should be shortly and
plainly stated :
They consist of nine years' service as an Alderman of London,
having also filled the office of Sheriff, in 1832, and that of the Chief
Magistracy of the City during the last year.
The unanimous votes of thanks which I received from the Livery
and the Court of Aldermen and Common Council, together with
others from numerous bodies of citizens, g have been led to believe
were but a correct expression of the general opinion of the manner in
which I performed the arduous duties of the Mayoralty, as well as
those of a Magistrate of your City.
As a Member of the House of Commons, elected by the free choice
of 5,000 of your independant neighbours of Southwark, and returned
in six successive Parliaments, my conduct has been uniformly con-
sistent in supporting the corporate rights and privileges of the City
of London, and in promoting every sound and liberal measure in the
Commons' House of Parliament.

The numerous unsolicited offers of support which I have received,
And the voluntary formation of a Committee during my absence to
promote my election, gives me the fullest assurance of success ; and
relying on your attendance at the nomination to-morrow, confidently
depending upon your cordial and generous support by polling early.

The shortness. of the period between the decease of the late Sir
William Heygate, and the day 11xed 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, therefore, I
Least, make allowance for my apparent neglect in this respect.
I beg leave respectfully to announce, that the Common Hall will
be held To-aionitow, the sth instant, and that the Lord Mayor will
go upon the hustings precisely at One o'Clock, and earnestly request
the favour of your early attendance for the purpose of supporting my
nomination 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
become necessary to do so.
