THE KING AND PEOPLE.

HIS MAJESTY’S THANKS. London, July 1. The King, in a letter to the people, writes : “Nov/ the Coronation and its attendant ceremonies are over, I desire to assure tiro people of the British Empire of my grateful sense that their hearts have been with me through all. I felt this in the beautiful and impressive service at Westminster Abbey, which was the most solemn experience of my life, and scarcely less in the stirring scenes of the succeeding days, when my people significod their recognition and heartfelt welcome to mo as their Sovereign. ’This was apparent not only in the local enthusiasm on Coronation Day during my progress through tiio different districts of London, but also in the thousands of messages of goodwill which came across the sens from every part of the Empire. Such affectionate demonstrations have profoundly touched mo and filled mo afresh with faith and confidence.” The King, in a message, declared ho and the Queen would ever remember the great gathering of children at the Crystal Palace. Ho feels that London mnv well ho proud of its children. “Their eagerness to carry out instructions and to uphold the credit of the schools with such marvellous self-restraint,” wrote His Majesty, “augurs well for our own and the country’s future.”
