ADDRESS OF CONDOLENCE.-His Excellency the Governor moved the following Address of Con- dolence to Her Majesty the QUEEN on the death of the Duke of Albany :—
"MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY,
We, Your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Governor and Legislative Council of Hongkong, in Council assembled, desire to offer the expression of our sincere sympathy with the_affliction which Your Majesty has suffered through the death of His Royal Highness, Prince LEOPOLD, Duke of Albany. We assure Your Majesty that the great distance of this Colony from the seat of the Imperial Government, so far from weakening, serves only to lend additional strength and grace to the feelings entertained by the entire community, without distinction of race or creed, of loyal and patriotic attach- ment to the Throne and to the Mother-country. In common with our fellow-subjects throughout the British Empire, the inhabitants of Hongkong, whom we represent, deplore the sudden and early loss to Your Majesty and to his country, of a Prince, whose personal tastes and character, and whose devotion to Science, Literature and Art, recalled the noble example and career of his Illustrious Father, the late Prince Consort.
Signed on behalf of the
•
Legislative Council of Hongkong,
G. F. BOWEN, Governor.
