TESTIMONIALS

" I am desirous to express my opinion of Mr. James
Clarke, late of London, (a gentleman with whom I have for
many years had the pleasure to be acquainted,) as a Musical
Professor of distinguished ability and an excellent performer.
" Liverpool, May 29, 1837. SAMUEL WEEBE."

" Madame Zieltzke presents her compliments to Mr.
Clarke, and is most happy to offer this acknowledgment of
the high opinion entertained of his talents as an excellent
Master both for Theory and Practice, when her young ladies
had the benefit of his instructions : and she begs to add, that
it continues unaltered, and that it would afford her much
real pleasure should her recommendation at any time become
useful to him.

" 29, Upper Bedford-place, London, 14th March,lB32."
"Mrs. Gabhett presents her compliments to Mr. Clarke:
she regrets extremely Mr. Clarke is leaving Limerick, as she
never had so good a Music Master, nor so perfectly satis-
factory in every respect. She hopes Mr. Clarke may succeed
where he means to settle in future.

TO THE ELECTORS OF SOUTH LANCASHIRE.
GENTLEMEN,
IT has become my duty to return my grateful acknowledg-
mentsl for the honour you have conferred upon me in
electing me for a third time your Representative is Parlia-
ment.

The expression of my sincere gratitude is due, in the first
instance, to that great body of the Electors who were pre-
pared, if called upon, to record their votes in my favour.
My acknowledgments are also due to my late opponent, Mr.
Towneley, and to those of his supporters who declined to
protract a contest when its continuthce was not, in their
opinion, justified by a rational prospect of success.

.
Whether I look to the circumstances of the present poli-
tical crisis, or to the character and qualifications of the Can-
didate who has retired, in justice personally to him, and I
hope without offence to others, I claim this result as a signal
triumph to those Conservative principles which I have advo-
cated on former occasions.

I claim it further as a victory on that particular field which
her Majesty's Government has selected whereon to battle
for its own existence.

I am aware that I have the misfortune to differ with many
persons of character, experience, and ability, on the subject
of the recent financial proposals of that Government. It is
posaible that, had the contest continued, some gentlemen
would have overlooked this difference, and, in virtue of the
general accordance of their political opinions with my own,
have continued to me the support they have afforded to me
on former occasions. In this case the balance of opinion on
the recent measures of Ministers would not have been strictly
measured by the numbers of the poll, and I cannot, and do
not, claim the present result as a faultless indication of the
preponderance of my own opinions. I do, however, respect-
fully claim it as an indication of a very prevalent accordance
with those opinions—as a virtual ratification, by a vast and
most important County constituency, of the verdict passed
by London, Liverpool, Leeds, and Hull, on the measures in
question.

- I feel, Gentlemen, on the present occasion, more deeply
than I have ever felt, the weight of the responsibility which
you have imposed, and I have accepted. In the Parliament
about to assemble I will endeavour to justify your choice.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient, humble servant,
Worsley Hall, July, 1841

F. EGERTON,

TO THE ELECTORS OF SOUTH LANCASHIRE.
GENTLEMEN,
Ibeg to offer you my sincere thanks for the honour which
you have again conferred upon me in electing me as one
of your Representatives. The triumph of the conservative
cause has been achieved by the steady adherence to those
principles with which, in 1834, we commenced our success,
and which have, since that period, so rapidly and extensively
gained ground in this country.
To Mr. Towneley and my opponents, I feel my acknow-
ledgments are due for having abandoned a contest, when they
ascertained that its continuance would not lead to a success-
ful issue ; and the result has shown that it is not by agitation
that the minds and votes of the electors of this great and im-
portant county are to be influenced, and that the same course
of exciting argument, and of electioneering tactics, which in
many instances have proved successful in borough elections,
are not to be relied upon in appealing to the cooler judgment
and intelligence of the county constituency.
To those Gentlemen with whom, unfortunately, I do not
concur in opinion upon the financial measures of the Govern-
ment, but who have most kindly and disinterestedly waived
their objections, and have both now and on former occasions
given me their support, I feel deeply bound, and I trust that
the views which I have taken, though differing from theirs,
may ultimately prove to be right, as I am convinced that we
have the same object at heart—the welfare and improvement
of all classes of the mixed community of this great empire.
In conclusion, I enter again upon the trust which you have
confided to me with an increased desire of obtaining your
approbation, and by attention to my parliamentary duties of
preserving the good opinion which you have hitherto enter-
tained of me.
I have the honour to remain,
Gentlemen,
Your obliged and faithful servant,
R. BOOTLE WILBRAHAM.
Blythe Hall, July 10, 1841.

NOW EXHIBITING IN BOLD-STREET,
I,V°"WELL'S FIVE BEAUTIFUL GIRAFFES,
which are all in perfect health. They were taken by
Mons. Riboulet, and a company of the native hunters, in the
Plains of Abyssinia, and brought to England by the Great
Liverpool steamer, Captain Engledue, and were landed at
Southampton. They were purchased by Mr. Wombwell at
an immense expense, as each animal cost near£looo. It is
impossible for any person to form any idea of these beautiful
quadrupeds without seeing them, two of which are thirteen
feet high. They will stop but a short time in Liverpool, as
Mr. W. has two machines building in the form of waggons
for their reception, which will cost him £5OO each.
