REPLY TO PRESBYTERIAN ADDRESS.
Gentlemen,—Among the characteristics of our parent land, and of this important colony, is the perfect freedom of religious creeds. I recognise in your position the assertion of this right associated with the doctrines of that Church which has long guided the people of Scotland. I thank you for your addresses and for your prayers, offered on behalf of the Queen, my mother, and myself. Alebbd. To the members of the Presbyterian Church of Canterbury. BEPLY TO TBE OBANGE-CEN'S ADDBESS. Gentlemen,—l accept with great satisfaction the address in which you proclaim your attachment to the person and government of the Queen, and offer mc so kind a greeting to this loyal province. You do no more than justice to the other parts of this interesting and beautiful country when you speak of the enthusiastic reception which has been everywhere accorded mc as the son of your Sovereign. That prosperity may continue, and that industry may meet with its just reward, will lever be the constant prayer of your Sovereign, of myself, and of the people who share with you the blessings of free institutions. ; For your fervent prayers for the preservation of my health and for success in my career accept my warmest thanks. Alfbed. To the Orangemen of the Province of Canterbury.
