GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONGKONG, 28th December, 1878.

SIR, The intelligence of the death of Her Royal Highness The Princess ALICE, and the knowledge that it would add to the sorrows of the QUEEN, caused a wide spread feeling of sym- pathy with Her Majesty throughout this Colony. This universal sentiment was embodied by the Legislative Council in a brief address which I have the honour to ask you to lay before Her Majesty.
