Session with the following speech :--
" Mr. President and Honourable Gentlei-3en of the Legislative Council,
" The loss which the nation has sustained jn the death of his late
Majesty William the Fourth, of revered memory, 12as been followed by
an exhibition of national feeling, from which every loya; subject in our
widely extended Colonial Empire will not fail to derive both Consolation
and satisfaction.
" I refer to that unequivocal manifestation of deep-rooted veneratirn
