GENTLEMEN,—When first asked to \J7T offer myself for the seat vacated by Coun cillor Dickson. I said " No," simply because I could not spare two or three afternoons weekly from my business, and,therefore I could not honestly accept your offer, fearing that I could not always discharge the duties belonging to said office. Since then, I am happy to inform you (because I feel sure it is a step in the right direction, as it will "offer facilities for electors to attend the meetings of the Council as well as the Councillors) that it is not only possible, but very probable, the Council meetings will beheld in the evening. It is distinctly with this under standing that I now come before you, either for acceptance or rejection. Should you return me, Gentlemen, and I trust every one of you will do your very best to do so, I promise you faithfulness, diligence, and honesty of purpose throughout, without a single person to serve, and having only the public interest in view, and with no personal obiect or purpose to #o in for. Should Ibe rejected, then, all I ask is, let us sail along together, good friends aa before. I remain, faithfully in your hands, W. CROWTHER. TO THE BURGESSES OF THE CITY OF AUCKLAND. Ladies and Gentlemen,—-At the request of many of the Burgesses to allow my name to be placed in Nomination for the vacancy in the City Council through.the resignation of R. Dickson, Esq., I bea: to place my services at your disposal, and should you do me the honour of electing me as your representative, I hope to prove myself worthy of your confidence. J. GREY.
