GOVERNOR-GENERAL’S DEPARTURE.
Wellington, .Tune 2(5,
In concluding the speech from the throne at the opening of Parliament this afternoon, the Gqvernor-Geu-eral (Viseout Jeicoe) said: —“My term of office as Governor-General of New Zealand will expire at the end of September next and I shall lie leaving the Dominion towards the end of November. The severance of .the ties, which have with ever-increasing strength bound me in (dose attachment to the people of New Zealand, will cause me the deepest possible regret. Our'sojourn here has been a time of great inleiest and of unalloyed happiness lo Tier Excellency and myself. As (he representative of His Majesty I have witnessed with the keenest sati.-'faction the spirit of fervent loyalty to the throne and Empire which is so marked a characteristic of the people of New Zealand and of which so many proofs have been given. I have watched with great pleasure the increased production and the growth in trade of the Dolinion, and the manner in which a recovery from the aftermath of war has been effected is a subject for sincere' congratulation. The birth and development of the New Zealand division of the Royal Navy during my term of office and the high standard attained by the recruits entering the service have been of much interest to me as a naval officer. To the past and present members of the two Houses of the legislalure with whom I have been associated, 1 beg to express my deep appreciation of their uniform courtesy and consideration and I should like to take this opportunity also of voicing my warmest gratitude to the people of this Dominion for their exceeding kindness to Her Excellency. to myself and to the members of our family. The future prosperity of New Zealand and the welfare and happiness of its people will ever be matters of profound in teres* jo me. Finally, I express the earnest, hope Unit Divine Providence may guide your deliberations and further the welfare of the people of the Dominion."
