So. REPLY OF TIE MARQUIS.
The Marquis replied as follows to the
address OF Mayor Tobin, readingin clear
voice:
Mr.. Mayor and Gesaemm Of he Corporation
Of Hdlydr:
thank you, as representative OF Her
Majesty the Queen and in her name,
for the loyal words contained in your
address, which expresses well the
SeNumeut VI ueNoiou W S'
throne and person, which have ever
characterized the people OF the provinces
OF British North America, and which am
persuaded, are no where more truly felt
and more universally shared than in this
city, the capital OF the ancient colony
OF Nova Scotia. Your community has
been, may say, already long associ'
ated with the history OF the family Of our
gracious Sovereign, for it was here that
His Royal Highness, the Duke OF Kent,
passed many years OF soldiers life.
1t Is TO your city that two Of his grand
children come to-day. You have with
ynu tor only very short time the Prince
who has made the honored profession OF a
seaman in every quarter of the globe in
which he has already had the honor oi
serving Her Majesty. He has visited North
America, and let us. hope that when he
again comes, the occesion may be made then
more auspicious by the presence OF Her
ROYAL Highness, the Duchess Of Edin'
burgh. In no part ot the British Empire
are the perils and honors OF naval PROBES!
sion better understood than on the shores
Nova Scotia for here, although much at
; tention is given to the successful cultiva
ton Of land and mineral art; the anger ol
the sea is braved as on the coasts OF
other maritime provinces Of this grea
country BY thousands Of intrepid sea
men. It's pathless fields are made
highways OF commerce by your hardy sail
: ors, and its wealth gathered by your gal
: lspt fishermen, and the arts Of navigation
: arc familiar to many among your popula
ton. Although sons Of the Sovereign
have before this day visited these shore
this is the first occasion
on WHICH A DAUGHTER
. OF the reigning house has seen the nev
world. Irejoice that the Princess land
! ON this continent among people so loya
and so thoroughly British as are the In
habitants OF this famous colony, ant
. / speak but tsebly for her whei
III say she is much moved b,
: the kindness OF your welcome. FO
