This is a result I can conscientiously say I did not expect ; for, as a rule, journalists who pursue their profession fearlossly and independently, cannot nvoid creating a considerable amount of hostility in various quarters— a disadvantage from which gentlemen engaged in mercantile and trading pursuits are wholly free. It is, therefore, most gratifying to me to find that, notwithstanding a well organised and exceedingly active opposition, I have been placed in such an honorable position by so large a number of the qualified electors. ' * I am still of opinion that the present : election, in which only 117 persons were permitted to vote, cannot be considered as a satisfactory or conclusive reflex of the choice of the ratepayers ; and I hope to convince my fellow Councillors that as soon as a Ratepayers' Roll has been Completed, they ought to afford the whole body of electors the chance of confirming or annulling 'the acts of the present limited body of voters, by a new general flection. I am, Gentlemen, Yours obediently, Wm. Smw. 'Weld street,
