"My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen,—l receive with most
heartfelt *mum the cordial address, which, emanating as
it does from the corporation and citizens of the Irish metro-
polis. I venture to regard as expressing sentiment' enter-
Mined by the country at large. Although, in compliance
with my own wishes, public formalities were in a peat
measure dispensed with on the occasion of my landing, the
enthusiastic welcome spontaneously tendered to me by the
vest and important community which you represent was
not clay patefid to myself, but afforded the most se-
'Taro& evidence of theiraffectione devotiCo t' the Queen,
my mother, and to her family. That you should discern in
me any prolatee of the virtues and exalted qualities which
have so endeared her Majesty to her subjects is, I fear,
due rather to your generous partiality than to my own
deserts. But you may be assured, at kaat. that lam pro-
foundly sensible of their inestimable value, and that to
learn to imitate them is my eirnest study and fondest desire.
I some kr% ea I have visiMl other parts of the country,
far the peewee of self-improvement, and specially on this
003■11‘011 to prod. by the greet advent'sss which the plains
of the Curry* present as a school for practical military in-
struction. My time will be chiefly occupied in this pursuit ;
but lam Tang anxious to acquire a more full acquaintasee
with the inatetial and isdastrtal resources of Ireland, and
yield to no one in my sense of their importance and in ear-
nest desire for their increase and development"
