ADDRESS TO MRS. HOB SON. WE, the Undersigned, Inhabitants of Auckland and its Neighbourhood, have publicly assembled ourselves together for the purpose of paying a tribute of respect to the Widow of the late Governor of New Zealand, on the eve of Her departure from the Colony. Entertaining a high estimate of the advantages derived by this Settlement, by Mrs f Hobson's residence amongst us, we cannot allow Her to leave New Zealand without receiving from us some, Public acknowledgment of the common sentiment. Well knowing the important influence, under all circumstances, of the example of those in high places ; and more especially in the early stages of Society in a new country. We cannot but deem it a matter of just consideration, that the chief place in Society in this infant Capital should, from the earliest period of its formation^, have ! been filled b/ a Lady, who, both in public life, and in a private station, has so admir- 1 ably fulfilled the Various duties of social life, as to call forth a spentaneons expression of respect from a whole community. The regret which we cannotpbut feel on j the occasion of Mrs. Hobsok^s departure from amongst us, would be greatly diminished, might we indulge the expectation that her absence will be but temporary, if after performing the duties which now call her to England, Mrs. Hobson should again be drawn hither by the ties which must always connect her with New Zealand ; her return would be welcomed with sincere and heartfelt joy. We would conclude this expression of our feelings by assuring Mrs Hobson, that, in leaving Auckland, She carries with her the sincere sympathy, the unfeigned respect, and the kindest wishes of the whole of its Inhabitants.
