dresses with which you have been good
enough to welcome me as representative of
the British crown, and for the assurance it
contains of your devoted attachment to the
person and will of our most gracious sover-
elgn. / can assure you no pains shall be
wanting on my part to acquaint myself with
your wishes, and to assist, as far as may
be. the desire of the inhabitants of this vast
dominion, nor will fail to seize every legiti-
mate opportunity that may be offered to pro-
mote the cause of morality, religion and vir-
tue. My best acknowledgements are due to
you for the kind expressions contained in your
address which are personal to the princess and
myself, and also for your prayers in our be-
hail. and am specially requested by the prin-
cess to convey to you her heartfelt thanks for
the kind way which you have alluded to her
ADVENT among you.
Lorn's reply to the magistrates and justices
of the peace for the county of Halifax: GEN
TLEAiEN-Ihe magistrates of county are those
whose good Will any one would not willingly
neglect and whose friendship and appreciation
are as valuable as they honorable. 1t was
with pride received the assurance of your re-
fylrI nj 81,
you as the representative of her majesty, in
her name, for the loyal devotion you express
! on the part of the magistrates Of the county of
Halifax for her rule and person.
1t is no new thing as you justly say, for
those OF your names and race are to be counted
among the firmest in asserting your principles
and join you the hope that the ties of amity
and love which now unite this province with
the mother country may continue to be cher
ished on both sides of the Atlantic. 1t is
source of satisfaction to us that coming TO
united Canada, we land at
capital of the Dominion will be made
wholly through provinces associated together
IN freedom under the constitutional law
and government. You, gentlemen, are mags-
trates, who execute in this country the laws
passed by q responsible legislature, and are
well able to judge of the peace and order Great
ed by the government in whose authority and
responsibility you have share. 1t is great
pleasure to receive from such body of gen.
tlemen, such address as that you have pre-
scented, and ask You to accept my cordial
thanks.

and successful an association. ready at all times
to extend Its support to the deserv-

well conducted in the past and the names OF
those who are at present its members show with
what confidence its actions are still regarded.
Among those who in past times gave you the
benefit Of his advice and assistance was Gov.
Doyle, who will not soon be forgotten here
either as a commander in chief or governor of
the province, for he was equally happy in coun-
Gil and camp. May you always be as well sup

things I am fully alive to the many evils at
tending upon the abuse of spirituous liquors.

grand division of the Sons OF Temperance of
the province of Nova Scotia have met with such
happy results.

fairy feet.
