REPLY.

Mr. SUPERINTENDENT,—I receive this Address with the most lively satisfaction, and I request you to convey to the inhabitants of the Province, whom you represent, the expression of my gratitude for the hearty welcome which I have just experienced.

In your city I close a visit to the colony of New Zealand, which has given me unmixed pleasure, and has brought forth proofs of loyal devotion to the Queen, which must ever remain engraved on my memory.

I can never forget the scenes I have witnessed during the short time which I have enjoyed the privilege of associating myself with the people of New Zealand, and I shall bear away with me a grateful remembrance of the kindness and affection which has everywhere met me.

Should my presence among you tend, in any degree, to the consolidation into one contented and loyal people of the two races which inhabit these Islands, the object of my visit will be more than attained, and I shall have the gratification of reflecting that my stay here has not only been a time of enjoyment to myself, but also not entirely unproductive of beneficial results towards those who have so kindly welcomed me.

ALFRED.

To the Superintendent of the
Province of Auckland.
