CATHOLIC PRELATES' ADDRESS TO IL ER

MAJESTY.
The following is the address of the undersigned
Catholic prelates to the Queen, and her Majesty's
reply :

" TO HER MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY THE QUEEN.
" Most Gracious Sovereign,— We, your Majesty's duti-
ful and faithful subjects, the undersigned Archbishop and
Bishops professing the Roman Catholic religion in Ire.
land, humbly and respectfully beg to offer to your Ma-
jesty our warmest congratulations on your Majesty's
arrival in Ireland.

"The saered obligations of duty which bind us, in com-
mon with all your Majesty's subjects, in ties of loyalty
to your Majesty's person and throne, make it imperative
on us to tender to your Majesty the tribute of our affec-
tionate attachment and respect ; but we pray your
Majesty to believe that the discharge of this pleasing
duty is rendered still more gratifying to us by the re-
collection that your Majesty's illustrious father was the
warm and able advocate of civil and religious liberty in
times when those blessings were denied to the great body
of the people of this country; and recognising, as we do,
that the sentiments of affection towards Ireland which
actuated your illustrious father have descended to your
Majesty, and beat with increased fervour in your Ma-
jesty's royal breast, we avail ourselves with peculiar sa-
tisfaction of the opportunity which we thus enjoy, by
your Majesty's gracious presence among us, to approach
your Majesty with the grateful offering of our most pro-
found homage.
" Although we have not called for any publics expres
sion of the opinions of our flocks on this auspicious occa-
sion, nor have we been commissioned to speak in other
names than our owu, we are still enabled, from the inti-
mate knowledge we have of our devoted people, to assure
your Majesty, that they hail with the utmost gratitude
this welcome visit of your Majesty; and that they will
continue to unite their fervent prayers with our own,
that God may vouchsafe to pour down on your Majesty,
on your Royal Consort, and on your house, the richest
blessings of Heaven.

" On an occasion so truly cheering as the present, we
will not place before your Majesty a detail of the many
woes of our suffering poor, the thought of which has, we
know, pressed already so severely on your Majesty's
parental heart. We wish this to be a visit of unmixed
joy to your Majesty, and we hope it may be the fore-
runner of happier days for Ireland. We therefore con-
clude with an ardent prayer that a benign and merciful
Providence may watch over your Majesty, guide your
counsels for the happiness of your people, and grant your
Majesty a long and prosperous reign.

TIER MAJESTY'S REPLY.

"I accept with heartfelt satisfaction your congratula-
tions on my arrival in this country, and your assurances
of attachment and respect. I have everywhere witnessed
most gratifying proofs that the sentiments which you
have expressed are fully shared with your flocks.
have deeply sympathised with that large portion
of my people who have borne with exemplary
patience severe sufferings and privations; and it is my
earnest prayer that the brighter prospects which I trust
are opening may, by god's blessing, be fully realised,
and that, with, the return of plenty to Ireland, all classes
of my subjects will unite with mutual charity and con-
cord in promoting the progressive and permanent pros-
perity of the country."
