MR FERRIS'S EXPLANATION.
To _ the Gentlemen who Signed the Requisition.—Gentlemen,—I deem it my duty to offer you an apology for having retired from the contest after having had the honor to receive such a large and influential requisition, and at the same time giving you to understand that I would come into the field to seek the honor of representing your interests in the Provincial -Council.

Thanking you for the honor you wished to confer on me, I am, Gentlemen, yours respectfully, "William Ferbis.
