The Earl of Lanese, lad-liwateaant, moved the adop-
tion of • oonsplimentary addirs to her Majesty, and ob-
served that while at all times and seasons the inhabitento of
Norfolk were reedy. r ream their devotion to the Queen,
it was more especially to do so on the present
occurs, and to offer suitable congratulations on the mar.
rugs of the heir to the throne. When we considered how the
Peacoat Wiles had been brought up, ender a mother whose
virtues were so well-known, and under a father whose low
WS/ so nisch lamented ; when we considered bow be had
performed the duties of his station. not only in his inter.
coons with the people of this country, but also with Naga
nations ; and wham we witnessed, w sag Norfolk sea
had witnessed, that kindness of heart sad rudely of
manner which he bad inherited from his pinata, we cord
not but come to the conclusion that his royal Mike=
entered into life under very different auspices to those who
I had hitherto base his name. The lady wham the Priam
bad selected to be Ws bride came of a race more needy
allied to um by renews, language, and blood, then any otter
foreign ratios—that Scandinavian race, who for a keg pared
of years had shows attachment to lsod, sod whoa...mat
hospitality he bad himself pasocaffy experieseei He
royal Wears also pampered those virgule which aloes
could make her fit to be the be de of the Rag of these
realms ; and • onion fanned under all these circumstances
was likely to be productive of urination to ha Majesty,
happineee to the royal pair, and advantage to the norm at
large. The riveter rejoiciop which had takes 'plea
throughout the United Kingdom did sot arise solely from a
desire to congratulate their Royal Highnesses the Prince
and Princess of Wales on their marriage, however genellying
that union might be, but they also afforded the public aa
opportunity of expressing their gratitude for the mast' year,
of internal peace and prosperity which Ragland bad enjoyed
under her Majesty and the late Prince Caron. _This
feeling had led to a display of loyalty to an attest never pre.
vice* known is our long history u • nation, and had also
evinced in the strongest manner that love and loyalty to
the Queen and royal family to which they were so justly en.
titled. The noble earl then read an address to her 1144 y,
expressing the imeustialations of re Norfolk subjects on
the late ham ever, sad moved that it be. adopted sad
forwarded for presentation in thtural manner.

Hoe;.I7WALPOI.II ieOollieff the motion, which was
agreed to unaaimonsly.
The Berl of ALsou>aLl mid that, fresh as he wag from
the thrilling ceremonial of Tuesday in the Chapel Royal at
W indoor, he had the greatest parable gratification in pro-
posing a mooed address which bad been placed te his hands •
and hewing witnessed the happy eounteeences of the t
pair, beaming se they did with joy, he was eon
the address would be highly appreciated by both those illus-
trious persons. He waa a unit of the 2,000,000
who bad seen, and who had been conquered • and
thosewho had not yet been so fortunate, and who liak that
prospect in store, would say that there was but one foal*
and one impression which could be produced when they sew
the selection which our future King had made, for the
Priaixes of Wales had a aouatenance as remarkable for
beauty as it wee for goodness. A few of those prase;
when thialdug of the Prince of Wales, might meal the
thee when his illustrious mother first honoured Norfolk with
a visit. When, ma graceful girl, she appeared in Norfolk, he
(the Earl of Albemarle) wee one of the guests meembled by
his noble laminae the Earl of Leicester to resolve her ;
and well could he remember how all were thinned by bar
countenance and manner, although little could they have
foretold the great destiny which she had to perform, and
that she would prove at one the most impartial and the
most constitutional sovereign who ever eat upon the throne.
Subsequently he became a member of the royal household,
and for the first two yeah he had opportunities such as
happened to few of observing the course of affair*. On the
day of the cormatiou he was in attendance, and also CO
the occasion of those happy nuptials which uulottunately
proved of so short a dentate. He had also some knowledge
of the late Prince Cowart, and he saw enough of him to
understand the deep loss which the nation had sustained by
his death. Remembering that the illustrious Prime whom
the meriting was now about to Wrens owed both his birth
and his iodize to such parents as these, he thought that
the country had every jostification for believing that the
recent marriage would prove an auspicious wilco. One of
our poet' had said—
" Homebred youths have homely wits "
but might the converse prove the ease with the Prince of
Wales, than whom few heirs to the throne had seen so
much of foreign travel. His Royal Highness has anew
times been placed is situations of much difficulty requir-
Use judgment, tact, and discernment, sad he had behaved
on those occasions in a manner which proved him worthy
of his father, while the =kirk sod frank almoners of the
Prince showed that the education of the father had not
been thrown away. (Cheers.) The Prince had reosutly
participated with ass in field sports, and Norfolk men
would regent him with a sympathetic feeling on that account.
He (the Earl of Albemarle) hoped that the Prince would
derive full enjoyment from our truly national sports ; aid he
trusted also (..W, in more important matters he would take
his illustrious parents for the model of his life. (Cheers.)
The noble earl then moved the adoption of the following
address :
