same category with the choicest silks, and costly jewellery. ■ The use of a colony to its mother country is in the extension of its home commerce, nnd in ■ openingl up new ] fields for its superabundant productions, but this novel system will materially check our trade, and press most heavily upon the consumer. It is unneeessaiy for me to dwell upon any other topics which have boon under the consideration of the General-. Assembly, as a. proper time will present itself for this purpose. The opinions I entertained when I last addressed you are unchanged. I should endeavour to strengthen the hands of the Government, if I saw that it laboured to advance the interests of the colony, to develops its resources, and to promote its internal improvement; and I should oppose most vigorously any attempt at tho enlargement of Provincial authority; at the same time, I should zealously watch over and support every measure having' reference to the real interests of this province. I must ask you to excuse a personal canvass. To many of j'ou I know it is an annoj'ance ; and I am inclined to believe it is too often an inter- . ference with that liberty of action which should distinguish men upon these important occasions. I have the honor to be, gentlemen. Your Obedient Servant, JOHN OLLIVIER, Morton Farm, Lower Lincoln Road. 9103.c TO THE ELECTORS OF THE TOWN OF CIIRISTCHURCH. Ge^'tlejiex,— riIHE management of the .Waste Lands of JL the Province having been confided to the Provincial Government, I.have been honored with the offer of continuing in the Department, in a similar office to that which I have for some time held. It has become necessary [for me to resign my seat in the Provincial Council before accepting it. |In again soliciting your suffrages, I trust I may refer to my past conduct, as an earnest of my future endeavours to further the best interests of this Province, should you do me the honour to again elect me as one of your Representatives. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, C. B. FOOKS. Christchurch, 24th September, 1850. 9278 TO THI ELEGTO-RS' OF THE TO\VIn t OF CHRISTCHURCH. GENTLEMEN, I have resigned my seat in the General Assembly as your representative. When you requested me to assume that post, I did so, stating my intention to return to England after the close of the session. lam under the necessity now of returning, and I have deemed it best to avoid the risk of leaving you unrepresented at the next meeting of the. General Assembly. The main object for which you wished me to be present in the Assembly in the late session has, I trust, been, in great part, accomplished. The financial aflairs of the Colony are at all events in a train for settlement, and 1 am about to return to England, partly with the view of completing that settlement. In thus terminating our political connection, I desire to acknowledge gratefully the confidence you have reposed in me politically, and the personal kindness which I have experienced at your hands; and to assure you of the sincere and abiding interest which I shall always feel in whatever concerns the welfare of the Canterbury Settlement. I remain, Gentlemen, Your very obliged and faithful servant, HENiIY SEWELL. Auckland, Sept. 15, IBSG. 1085 FIREWOODORDERS left with Mr. S.
