The following is the text of the address cabled to the Queen, on the motion of Sir George Grey, seconded by Major Atkinson : —“ May it please your Majesty, —We, the House of Representatives of New Zealand, desire, immediately after our first meeting Parliament since the 2nd of March last, to express to your Majesty our great thankfulness and delight at tho preservation of our Queen from tho peril which threatened your Majesty on that day. We humbly and loyally assure your Majesty that, distant as these islands are from tho centre of your vast empire, there are none among the very many millions of your subjects who regard your Majesty with greater pride, reverence, and affection than the inhabitants of New Zealand, whose representatives, both European and Native, gratefully transmit these expressions of attachment and loyalty to their Queen.”
