His Royal Highness Panels Albert replied as follows :
" My Lord Mayor sad °endow's—Ace in the 'spree-
*ion of my hearty thanks for your Mod welcome, and for the
gratifying asenrasee of your loyal and affectionate attach-
ment to this Clasen and her family.
I have been much pleased by the opportunity which
your kind invitation has afforded nos of seeing and admiring
the great work which you this day open to the public, a
work which not only deserves all admiration is itself on ac-
count of the ezoallence of the &ream/menu and the smog-
nieces,* of the design, but which will, I trust, be found
eminently sosducive to the contort and health of the
City of London. That its success will be cowmen-
Guest* with the spirit in which it has bees un-
dertaken and carried out I cannot doubt. A oar
tails dislocation of habits and interests must in
evitably attend the removal of the great City market
from the site it has occupied for so many centuries, and this
may Feasibly retard for the ;moment the fullest developmest
GI the undertaking. But any opposition arising from mesh
wen will soon cease, and the farmers will eiebtless seas
bus to appreciate the boon thus conferred upon them by
Ilhe Landon Corporation, in the increased facility which
mill be off rded to them (or the transaction of their busi-
lases, and the comparative security with which they will be
enabled to bring up and display their easels., stock in the
Great Metropolitan Cattle Market "
