THE MAYOR% DINNER AT TAMWORTH. SIR ROBERT PEEL'S MAIDEN SPEECH. This gonna gatheriog of the "men of mark and likelihood" of the ancient borough of Tamworth, toot' piste at the Town-ball, on Wednesday evening last, when upwards of 70 sat down to plinths of the hounteons taut provided by their chief magistrate, Job C. Righton, Erg Tamworth mayor. Feasts have often attracted the attention of a larger circle than the inhabitants of t►e borough, and the present ocemiort was remirkable for the first public appearance of the heir to the nett name which the present generation has learned to imams with Tamworth. On risinu to acknow ledge the toast, fhe members for the borough," proposed by Mr. Knight, Sir ROBERT PEEL said—Gentlemen, it is with feelings of thedeepestemotiogi that I nee to return my very down and cordial thanks for the hied and finning manner In which you have resionded to the tut toast I regret extremely that my hon. colleague is not present to partici, pate in the pleasure arising from the mincer in which the mention of out names hos beta received, and I am sure you all lament the eireunatances which detain him elsewhere. (Bear, hear.) You will bear with me, I trust, Is the eareesion of my feelings and opinions on the present occa Ile s keen the consideration that this is not only the first time, Wan Ikea opportunity, upon which I tare had the grati- Malin of meeting any of my conetituents publicly, as P. were, although I admit, thanks to the kind and courteous hospitality of our mayor, in a moot agreeable m ; far less such an influential b ody as are here present, amongst whom I recognise with pleasure , and I may add, as a source of encouragement, so maxi friends linked together , with me in the 'octal fits of mutual intercourse, but of addenda' publicly any assembly whatever. Lot us call to mind the circumstances under which I now appear before you, and what melancholy reminiscences they bring back to out recollection. I now stand in the very place where at a lake period haat year (and how often in fernier years), surrounded by those whom he was wont to call him friends, has he, the highest political ornament of his time, your honoured representative, my father, stood. Hew often has his eloquence charmed you, his untimente elevated you to a considerition, that in addressing you his friends, his neighbours, his oonstitueote and in making public mention of tile views on political subjects, his voice would have a tar wider range then the limits of this constituency, and that from the walls of this ancient and honoured hall they would be caught up to be repeated from or.e tad of the country to the other, as our guide and enceuragt anent in seasons of des pondency, to he borne aloft in our recollection 11 the spring-tads of our pEepoeity. (Cheers.) But a change has come over the scene. Let as improve the melancholy bereavement we have sustaintd by recognising in it one of the inscrutable dispensations of an all-wise Providence. Hitherto, but more particularly during the last eight years, the pursuits of my life end the aim of my ambition have been directed in a very different channel to that in which, from the uteoreeeen eircum‘tincea referred to, they now ap peared destined to flow. Consequently, although I have arrived at that period of life wen many of my own standing are not only thoroughly conversant web, but have already taken an active part in the discussion of most questions affecting the modal and political condition of this country, and have, moreover, by practice, overcome in the public ex pression of their anneals, that timidity naturally resulting at the outset from a want of sufficient confidence ia one's own resources ; I feel, gentlemen, that, from long rod dente abroad, and totally different pursuits, I have much to learn to fit me for the adequate dis charge of those duties my preseat position entails. (Cheers.) Than are occasions, and this is one, when it may not be altogether inaoyisable to go a little further than the mere interchange of complimeatary remarks, and with your permission. I will refer briefly to the position to which your conflation hat elevated me. In • few days, and for the first time at the commencement of • paliamen tary eerion, I shall nice my seat in the Hone et Com mons. It is true that towards the elan of Int mean I took the oaths qualifying me ;or a seat in parliament, but I took no put an the deliberation! of the house, and there lore it is that I am desirous of dating the c munsucement of my pareamentary career from the approaching semen. I look upon it as e very important epoch in my life, and , I assure you I am deeply sensible of th e responsibility, ' not only attached to the name I bear, but to the political association I have the tumour of enjoying. (Hear.) I have hitherto made no profession of political faith, and I have given no pledgee, as you regeired none of ins, end I take this opportunity of thanking the conentwiecy for the courteous delicacy they showed towards me in this matter, and which inrenet the responsibility of my position, said renders it doubly incumbent upon me to prove my Mints tit gratituds by couunual devetiou to your neonate. (linen) But thus lir lam now prepared to state, that, as • loyal subject of the crown, a true protestant of the church of England—(cheep)—arid a liberal conservative in poling, I hope so to shape the course of my public life, I that, as long as I snail have the 'lnoue of copying • seat in parliament, I may succeed in meriting the noliderice and esteem of my constituente, enjoying the satistactien that I may not have been altonetn.r twine in my ge neration. (Great applause.) I hope to discharge the donee which will devolve upon me in a right meaner. Certainly I enter parkament not with the vein inaipid grwiticatma of • perso all vanity, bat with the deter mination of devoting the beet faculties I poems to the study of political question. I have already Jointed that my poli tical convicuous are of a liberal tendency, but permit me to enlarge on the point, M order that ne enieniareeroction may apply lie me or that you may give me ne a t . for more than I nohow lem for cougervang sacredly all teat the wisdom el our &Mann and the prudeen of Denten VAIWIMeIt have secured for our etijoynaint, into far u they are cotenant with the present and permanent interests cad inhere of ' society. (Hear.) I am Nosily fur emanating and re modelling, bat with prader.ce and discretion- whatever may be shown to be incompatible with those present interests, whatever may be condtmeed as u. just ana oet ()lieu ty an expression of truistic opinion —that safest criterion by w hint we can form accurate appreciations on politte al subjects, the rud der by which the statesman ought by are pollution, if tenable, to guide the vessel of state ; but mark the diretence, lam de sinus of establishing between the calm and loyally dines alonate expremi in of public opinion and the wild eoutiation e/ popular prejudin which sometimes calls itself ptablic opinion. With the firmer, I will endeavour to keep pace, bait as regards the latter, I shis'l always enamour to he proof spinet at. (Cheers.) From these considerations it le na tural to inter that I make say appearance vu the political stage rather as a partisan of progress than ac an advocate of that stationery school of policy which would et fie the intro. docti-n of questions, or impede chengee, weigh might attest sight appear unsalted toe or inexpedient. But when I talk of princess, I allude not to ate Sentinel srelreu which is based upon vain sonniess theurin, which by epp.als to the lessees aught cause great anion to the eau._ at tenstint natal liberty, but I speak of that preenss which has its Inundadons laid upon the industry, intr.:l4nel/ end good mon of society; of the pron..* which, noising all elaseased the community m alas common bond of mammal interests, interferes nut with but rather annuragee • gradual advance in the science of government, nein and political, to the developinent of Ideas, and consequently so ▪ advanced more/ and 'reline.: advantages. (Cheers.) Before I sat down I would refs to two sabjects, one of which has produced and continues to excite mere than ordi nary in ered—l referee the invade...lion sad complete esta blishment of • Human catholic hit many in England. The other is the subject of tax alio* with teenage tont financial , arrangements. As regards the lathy, I am dee:decay in ' favor of the maintenance of • wiae and prudent economy in all the various branches of the public administration ; at the same time I would be diseoud to resist all sweeping measures of &venial reform which, ceder the pretext of alleviating the burdens weighing upon the indanious elands, may appear plausible and .xpedeent, but which un questionably would aired only temporary and dubitable advantage, inasmuch as they might venues a rentioa watch would be fu more prtjudicial than an a:t inhorn pted continuance of the termer measurer. (Hen, bear.) lam ego not a very r urdy advocate of the my, raised (or alleviation of taxation the moment it is known that there ie • surplus in the exchequer.

(Hoar, tear) At the Limn time I consider it highly aseneary that the dignitaries of our church should bestir themselves, anal keep a rather more watchful eye than they have hitherto doge over the spiritual interests ens witted to their charge and superiatendence, so that when the dangers threaten no to which the church must neerhearily be exposed from the manning and insidious attacks of her eremite, we may be ready to look to our guides and autho rities in religions matters for advice and encouragement, and that they may be prepared to show as them steps which will go • ion way towards disanniog religious appre hension and doubts.

THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 1, 1851. REPEAL OF THE SOAP DUTIES. Yesterday, a meeting of the sosp manufacturers of Great Britain was held at the Loudon T for the pal -1 pow or adopting a memorial to t►e Lords Cometissionrri of her Yak my'. Treasury for the repeal of the duty on soap; Mr. .1•31?! 8011lItt5 in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the b.ainem, said he had . W mnigratulate the trade on the unanimity amongst them tau the subject of the upset o° the duty. The distentiente were reduced to a small nennba. There wen some who would not give any opini in on the question. From Liver ' pool and Glasgow the associations reported that • great deal of map was smuggled front Ireland into the west coast of Holland and Scotland, the facility of communication between toe two countries rendering the illicit trade every misting*. IThe great increase of washing powders and liquids, as aubstitutes for soap, acted very ctifairly on the w ap trade. The excise eould not prevent the sale lof these mixture,, which paid no duty, although they took the place of soap. The foreign trade ut soap had slmost left this country; it was reduoed ou tlast in she last ten years. Whet was the rusoa for this ? Purely because of the expellees on the manufacturer under the excise regulations above the drawback allowed, which prevented the competition with foreigners. If the duty were repealed, then toe export trade of soap would Increase, as every other manufacture had done. (Hear.) There was no reason why the foreign trade in soap should not form • material item in the exports of British manufactures. But they might turn from their own grievances, and consider the effect of the duty as • tax upon one of the first fleets series of life, The tun on corn and provisions had all been repealed, and, except soap, there was now no tax on a single one of the strict necessaries of life. Mr. Porter says, that it appeared doubtful whether it could ever he desirable to extract a reviinue from soap, the use et which among the people should be encouraged on moral consideration,. A tax on clegalinoes is opposed to all principle, of unitary lasorovement. The 'young upon which this tax was insti tested has been condemned by every statesman of the day ; and, although there sets a very lugs party la favour of the repeal of the •iudoer tax, he had met with the universal portion that nothing can D 3 worse than • tax on soap. (Hear, hear.) It pressed most severely on the poor, their soap being taxed 100 per cent., whikt Boap used by the rich pato omy 10 per cent. They all knew the vexatious opera tion of the excise regulations, which, whilst they prevent their working in the best and most economical manner, were no protection against the fraudulent trader. The effect of the excise laws on the trade was very demo. ralisiog—the annual returns of conviction, proved that the illicit trade was too great a temptation to be re pitted. In the last tan years there had been 124 con victions under the excise laws on eoep, and during that time the average number of maken was only 160. Indeed, • duty which rules at nearly 100 per cent, brought • clue of persons into the trade for the sole pupate of profit by fraud ; tad, when a conviction for smuggling was effected, the pay ment of • Hue sufficed and enabled the offender to go on again directly, with the additional knowledge of how to manage better next time without detection. He would now ask their attention to the memorial which would be proposed for adoption, and for presentation to the Chancellor of the El -1 chequer to-morrow (this day). Mr. SHAW, of Brine', moved the adoption of the memo- Mal He felt that the soap manufacturers were very much in. debted to the chairman for the interest and labour he took in regard to the abolition of the soap duties. The chairman l i had so ably stand the who:e cage of the soap manufacturers that it was almost unnecessary fur him to add another word to what he had so clearly stated. He would only observe that as one of the chief officers of the corporation of Bristol, he had mach experience in regard to the spread of cholera, and he begged to hear his testimony to the great impediment which the sup duty presented to the observance of cleanliness amongst the poor Qs that occasion. He quite concurred in the observation of blr. Cobden that it was nothing short of hypocrisy to talk of sanitary measures whilst the tax on soap, the thief miens of cleanliness and therefore of health, was kept up. (Hoer, hear.) Mr. Aneurism, et Newcastle, seconded the motion, and ter some discussion the memorial was adopted. A vote of thanks was passed to the chairmas, and the meeting sepuatted. THE SAILORS' STRIKE IN THE NORTH. So far as the wages question are involved, the strike at Shields seems at an end, for a number of laden vessels have left the port, the men receiving the full wags s ; and on the first ara.fide a large fleet of oeiken will leave that and the adjaceat port fort Thames. The Local Marine Baird at Shields hat just issued a notice explaining and defending the provisions of the Mercantile Marine Ain. This notice will do good to doubt, as the men took their views of the measure Irene the various speakers who knee addressed them. The speakire knelt as little about many of the provisions of the act as the men themselves. There is nothing to indu, e the belief that the Fret body of the valor, on strike are prepared to commit any gross acts of violence.

The chairmen read to therm the letter re ceived fr..ta the Mcrd of Trade in reply to the imansen's memorial, and a long end friendly discussion followed. The principal aubjeot of complaint , on the part of the seamen appeared to be that the spirit M the Mt motile Marine Act it adverse to the independence cf the parties whom it pro fesses to protect, and that the minuteness' of its details, and the system of ticketing of late years engrafting on the mer cantile marine, impose vexatious metre**b without accom plishing any useful objtct.

OARDENINO OPERATIONS FOR THE ENSUING WEEK. (From the Gardener's Chronicle.) PLANT DEPAKTIIIINT. Foacuta-nousK.—llere, there will of necessity be many plants differing from each other in their nature, and in the degree of heat which they require. Some will bt ar more beat than others, and these will be best placid by themselves at the warm end of the bcuse, while those re guiting less heat can have the cool end, end be more freely supplied with air. The structure used for plant.foreieu should be of the lightest possible description, the inside being panted or coloured white, and the plans placed on or plunged in white gravel, or light coloured sand, in order that the greatest possible amount of light may be diffused and reflected amongst their foliage. The glass and laps should be perfectly clean. The ventilaton should be 83 arranged that the air may be admitted under the pipes, and thus warmed to the temperature of the house betore it comes in contact with the plants. Top air should be given by opening every sash a little, in preference to admitting the same quantity fn several large currents. As the flowers expand, the plants should be removed to a cooler and drier atmosphere, with a view to prolong their period of thnniog. It should be remembered that forced' plants require a greater supply of water than the generality of plat.ta at this Gentian ; and wh n they are in a fit state to receive water, let sufficient be given to moisten thoroughly every partof the soil. Excepting in very dull weather, the syringe may be used with advantage once a day, upon those plants whose flowers have not yet expanded. Use water of the same temperature as the house for this purpose, as well as for watering the plants. FORCING DIPARTNINT. The early sown melons will now be progressing, and a bed or pit should be got in readiness for them. la preparing beds for them, which are to be heated with litter, they should be so contrived that the necessary degree of heat may be obtained without the risk of burning the roots; but, at this early period, heating by means of hot-water pipes is far pre tete*. The pipes for supplying bottom beat should be merely a continuation of the tope.leat pipes through the pit, and should be covered with a few inches of gravel, upon which is laid from 14 to 18 inches of soil, for putting thu punts into. Ale thus obtain top and bottom heat by the same circulation; and nothing can gnaw, r beta,. The earliest melee 1 have tried lathe Trentham Hybrid, which is also • tree beim.

(See oar re narks on this in January.) Among the espalier fruit trees, the fl ower buds of many of the hardier kinds see swelling fast; and, as we may yet exoect some severe weather, prudence points oat the propriety of protecting anything which is choice or valu.ble. For this purpose, nothicg is cheaper then spruce or yew breathe , which ars also of considerable service in retardieg the open ing of the blatant, until the melee is more favourable for the:, safe development. Thu ground should be forked over amongst bush fruits, taking cars to injure the surface roe a as little u possible, for upon tease the fertility of the tree mainly depends. The strawberry beds should also be looked over, th e dead leaves and runners remuved, and if it we. omitted last autumn, the plants 6h uld be thinned when they require it. Some dry soot should now he due ed it. animist them to destroy lintels; after which the specie between the rows should be manured, and lightly forked over without breaking their routs.

MARSHAL HAYNAU.—THE PANTOMIMES AND THE LORD CRAYRISRLLIN.—The incidents of Haynie'. visit to Bankeide, as every playgoer knows, have been seized on by the authors of nearly all the pants mimes of the mason, area the passages in which they are introduced have never failed to elicit applause. After the lapse of more than a mouth the Lord Chamberlain Ins seen fit to take official notice of this personal reterence, and in one instance to request its omission. In coast queues of the suggestion of the Lord High Chamberlain, conveyed through Sir William Mar:in, two comic scenes have this week been cut out of the panto. minuet Astley's Amphitheatre, one representing the eats riot of Barclay's brewery, with draymen, heroes, tho. ; the other the bed-room of the public bout in which the Baron took refuge. As it is not imagined that the government could see soy possible evil likely to arise from this representation, the popular inference is that this Interference has been prompted by the Austrian ambassador. Among other pietas, the representation of which has been Mapped by the authorities at the chamberlain's odic,. may be naontioned the highly p , pular hippo-i ntaglio spectacle of "Tarpin's Ride to York," which has been played on the burds of most of the metropolitan and provincial theatres for air lain thirty.fiveyean. The performance of "Jack Shep. peed" and "Oliver Twist," as dramsti.ed from the rer-ione ed Harrison Ainsworth and Charles Dickens, has also been usiereioted. In military ',pentacles, illustrative of the triumphs of British arms, the L ,rd Chamberlain's officials refuse to allow the names of living heroes to appear as dramatis persona., they being merely described by the title of their appointment., such se the "Commander of the British Fortes, " or the "General Commanding-in-Chief," " Colonel of the Life Guards," tin ' • and in one or two c, sof, "The Affghanistan War," for i nstance, which was pro duced at Arley's, the manuscript was returned to the Lord Chsmborlain't-office, in order to ascertain that the :equine] a Iterations had been mad*.
