COURT 01' EXC'HEQ:IEIe, July 6. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, before the LORD CHIEF IlAarm and a Special Jury.) RICHARDS AND OTHERS V GLADSTANES AND °Timm This was an action on a policy of assurance eff,cteri on the life of William Capel Clayton, who died in June, 1848. The defendants plcaded that the statement which formed the basis :f the contract was not true, inasmuch as it alleged that Mr. Clayton's habits were temperate and sober, whereto, long before, and at the time the as surance was effected, he had led a drunken and intem perate course of lite. Sir F. Thesiger, Mr. Butt, and,llr. Robinson appeared for the plaintiff.; and Mr. Peacock and another Learned Gent man for the defendants. Sir F. THESIGER, in opening the case, said this ac tion was brought by the trustees of the Eagle As surance Company against the defendantP, who are the trustees of another assurance company, cal'ed the Al bion, to recover 499/., the amount of a policy effected with them on the 20th of May, 1848, on the life of William Capel Clayton. It appeared that the plain tiffs had advanced several sums of money to Mr. Clayton on the security of a life annuiry and a rever sionary interest in certain property, and with the view of having additional security in the event of -his death, the amount advanced being nearly 5,000/., they requi,.-11 ii'm to assure his life for 5004 in the Albion cffiee, which he did after the usual declaration as to h al u, and an examination by the medical officer. of the company, who reported him to be " a good life." On his death, however, which occurred on the 9th of 'June 1848. the company refused to hand over the amount of the policy, on the ground that the assured haddectived the office as to the state of his health. The Learned Counsel, who contended that there had been no deception whatever "on the part of Mr. Cnyton, then gave the fol lowing sketch of that gentleman's career. He was born, be said, in 181.8, and was the eldest son of Sir William Clayton, Bart., of Harleyford, Buckinghamshire, who was tbo owner of landed property, not only in that cou nty, but also in Surrey an d O x f or d s hi re. A t t h e age of 13 or 14 he went to Eton, where he remained two or three years, and wat afterwards committed to the care of private tutors. lie appeared at a very early age to have been cf . ex remely active habits, and acquired also a „ Ate for chemical pursuits, and to such an extent that a laboratory was fit e I up for him at Harleyford, and bit time was divided between the study if chemistry sad the active sports of the flak). At the age of eighteen or nineteen his father purchased hi m a commit don In the CAdstream and twelve 111, :;a_ ths afterffarda be azcowEsr•ied his rogimeut to Canada. There was no peculiar information with retard to habits while there, but it was to be pre sumed that he lived pretty much like young gentlemen in the army; he was a generous and free liver; but it did not appear that he was guilty of any excesses. While in Canada he became acquainted with a young lady, a native of America, and of respectable family, whom he married, and brought over to this country. After his return he resided with his family for about twelve months, during which time two children were born, one of which now survived, and was the heir to the title. He then removed to Great Marlow, where he set up a separate establishment, and occupied himself with chemistry and hunting. In 1842, however, he unfortunately quitted the country for London, and on arriving there sold his commission and became a man without occupation. What was worse, he formed an acquaintance with a young lady named Pitt, who was a singer, and probably the melancholy sequel of his life resulted from that unhappy attachment. He took a room at 33, Castle-street, Leicester-square, and fitted it up as a laboratory at great expense, and devoted himself assiduously during the day to the study of chemistry, but in the evening he was in the habit of frequenting the theatres, and a place called the Cider Cellars, in Maider.- lane, where he used to remain sometimes till two or three in the morning. During all this time, however, it could not be said that he had acquired habits of drun kenness or intemperance. In 1843 Mrs. Clayton be came acquainted with the connexion he had formed, and she went back to her Esther in Canada, taking with her the surviving child. She returned in August, 1844, when she became reconciled to her husband, and they lived tegether for some time afterwards, first at a hotel in Duke street, Maechesier-square, and then in the neigh bourhood of some lakes near Norwich, where he amit,ed himself by fishing and shooting wild fowl. He came to London again in February, 1847, when he was very em barrassed in circumstances, and no doubt he then gave way to habits of intemperance; but this was long after the assurance was effected, and therefore could not have the effect of making it invalid. As his em barrassments increased his course of life became worse and worsP, until at the end of the Sear, when he became an inmate of the Queen's Prison, where being almost insolvent, and an outcast as it were from society, the unhappy and short career of this young man, born to fortune and rank, was brought to a close by a fatal aOA of delirium tremens, occasioned by excessive drinking. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to call evidence, but the case had not concluded when the Court rose. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, July 6. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, in London, before Lurd Chief Justice WILDE and a Special Jury.) THE NEIN/ HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—BARRY V. REID. Mr. Sergeant Channel! and Mr. J. Addison conducted the plaintiff's case ; Mr. Bovill appeared for the de fendant. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover compensation in damages for certain false and slander ous words uttered by the defendant, to the injury of the plaintiff. The defendant pleaded not guilty, and a plea of justification. Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL stated the case to the jury. The plaintiff in this cause is the well-known archi tect of the New Palace of Westminster, and the de endant has the direction of the arrangements for reatilating that building. It appears that a misun lerstanding bad arisen between the plaintiff and de r'endent in the year 1845, relative to the arrangements , or ventilating the Houses of Parliament. Mr. Barry, ,n one occasion, said it was a pity that so much expense raid been incurred for iron girders and brick work, 'as they would be rendered useless by the plans of Dr. Reid, which he said were incompatible with the making the building fire proof, which Parliament required him to do. Two meetings took place between the parties iu 1845; after these no personal interviews took place be tween them, but an active correspondence was for some time kept up. Copies of this correspondence, and mi nutes of what took place at the above mentioned meet ings, as noted down by a Mr. Meeson, an assistant of Ir. Barry, were transmitted by the plaintiff to the Com missioners of Woods and Forests. Subsequently to this, it being necessary that a personal communication should take place 'between the defendant and some' one connected with the architectural arrangements of rho new palace, a meeting took place on the 25th of April, 1849, between the defendant and Mr. Quorn, the clerk of the works. Mr. Meeson was also present. Dr. Reid, on seeing the latter, exclaimed, " I object to Mr. Meeson being present, on the ground that he, in conjunction with Mr. Barry, forged a document, which was forwarded to the Woods and Forests." On hearing this, Meeson asked him if he was aware what he was saying? He said that ho was well aware of what he had stated, adding ha had said so before, and would repeat it again. Meeson then said, "If that is the case, I request you to repeat it; and I call on Mr. Quorn to take notice of what you say." Dr. Reid then said, " I mean to say that in 1845 Mr. Meeson, in conjunction with Mr. Barry, forged a document and transmitted it to the Commis• stoners of Woods and Forests; and therefore I decline acting with Mr. Meeson." This was the slander corn dlained of. The document tailed to was a copy of the ntnutes made by Mr. Meeson of what to ,k place at the two m?etings above mentioned between the parties. The Learned Sergeant read from a Parliamentary blue-book various portions of the correspondence which had taken glace between the parties, and also extracts from the minutes of the conversation at the two meetings alluded -.0, and was entering upon the compatibility of the plans ~f Dr. Reid with the provisions in the buildings made by Mr. Barry, when Die LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, interrupting him, said, 'hat he had listened to counsel for a long while, and had aeard much that was totally foreign to the issues before he jury. The Learned Counsel was now entering upon ;,he relative merits of the plans of the rival parties, and the practicability of rendering the building fire-pro if, at the same time securing fur it a complete ventilation. rhat was a question which ought to be settle I by ano her tribunal than this; it ought to go before men con y, rsent K ith science rather than a jury. The only ques .ion here t, be tried was, whether the word " forgery " Has used by Dr R--id in its most offensive _sense, or ,imply in the meaning that the document alluded to s ated untruth. He had well considered all that had leen said by counsel, and it appeared to him that no case arid been made out by the plaintiff. The plea of not guilty was a perfect answer to the action, because, in his opinion, the expression used by Dr. Reid at the meet tog was in the nature of a privileged communication, and he should, if necessary, so direct the jury. The action would seem to have been brought with the purpose .f bringing the plaintiff and defendant with their lisputes before the public; but it was unfair to the ~ountry that a jury should be kept in court for, perhaps, wo days, listening to a scientific discussion, altogether ,rrelevant to the issue they have to try. It was a great pity that these gentlemea should have engag*'d in a dispute, the effect of which is to delay the completion ..f the groit work they have in hand. The proper course is 'to discharge the jury, which will have the effect of leaving no imputation upon the character of either of the parties. Mr. S-rgeant CBANNELL—I defer to your Lordship's r, cummeridatior. Mr. BovILL was quite content to have his client in the bands of the Court. Long before this action was brought, the charge of forgery had been withdrawn b) Or. Reid. At the same time he must say that Dr. Reid was quite willing to give Mr. Barry credit for good tot-mtions, and to admit that he had not wilfully misre• nres;. , nted the conversations in the minutes he forwarded t the Commissioners of Woods and Forests. But Dr. Reid still adhered to his statement that Mr. Ba-ry had made great mistakes. He withdrew the charge that the misstatements were made wilfully. Mr. Sergeant CUANNELL—The charge of forgery ►nd wilful misrepresentation having been withdrawn by Bovill on the girt of his client, Dr. Reid would consent to the discharge of the jury. The LORD CUIEF JUSTICE, addressing the jury, said it appeared to him that the word " forgery" had only been used by Dr. Reid in a sense which imputed to the plaintiff a wilful misrepresentation of facts, and not im p porting that Mr. limy had been guilty of a felonious act. The expression had been withdrawn. Ho was sorry the matter bad been brought before a jury. " You will, therefore," said he, " find a verdict f,r the defen dant upon the issue of not guilty, and are discharged trona finding on the other issue." The jury found, accordingly, a verdict fur the de fendant.

(louse of 574 Members has declared, by a majority of 46, that Lord Palmerston enjoys the con fidence of his countrymen, and that his policy is pre cisely the policy requisite to the maintenance of their honour and peaceful relations towards the rest of the world. In the state of political feeling prior to the debate the Government had much to contend against, and if their cause had not been inseparably allied wish truth and justice, the division might have given them a much smaller majority ; so the result is all the more satisfactory, and carries the greater weight. Those whose machinations are rendered futile, and whose misrepresentations are exposed, would fain make this division tantamount to a defeat. The Morning Chronicle says that the majority of 37 in the Lords deducted from that of 46 in the Commons, leaves Ministers oaly a margin of 9! Is it possible that the disappointed scribe can imagine for one moment that the people of England will place the votes or opinions of 37 hereditary legislators against the voice of 37 of their own chosen representatives? that 37 men who, qualified or disqualified, inherit a certain legislative dignity, and in many cases a pecu liar legislative incapacity, will—so far as representing public opinion goes—be placed alongside the same number of those representatives, who have lately shown themselves as superior in debate as they are undoubtedly above them in popular estimation ? Why, Sir, the thing is an utter absurdity, a paltry quibole suggested by a spleen as impotent; designed, I suppose, to deceive our friends abroad, now that the game of deceiving the people at home is irre coverably lost. Tne division is " a crowning victory ;" it has been won in the teeth of a combination of parties as un- natural as it is discreditable to some of the Members concerned : it aftsrde ample proof that the principles so nobly, so firmly maintained by Lord Palmerston will prevail, though Bright and Broadley meet toge ther, Cobden and Castlereagh kissing each other ; Gibson and Granby ! _Hume and Herries! ! Moles worth and Manners !! ! That the' C-)vernment have triumphed over such a combination of the " Country Party" with happy go-lucky Peelites and crotchetty soi-disant Liberals (whose constituents will not forget them at the next election), surely rensiers the victory the more com plete ; the defeat the more decisive.

The third adjourned general court of the pro prietors of this company was held on Thursday at the New Zealand House ; Mr. Henry A. Aglionby, M.P., Deputy Governor, in the chair. Before commencing with the ordinary business of the day, The CHAIRMAN said that it was his sad duty to announce to them the lamentable death of Lord Petre, who had been an active friend and supporter of the company, though latterly unable to devote that attention to their interests which he knew it was his ardent desire to do. The CHAIRMAN said that it Was their next duty to hear read the resolutions come to at the meeting on Tuesday last, and any report which it might seem fit to the committee of investigation to submit to their consideration. Her MAJESTY'S COMMISSIONER here rose to make a statement, which he considered of importance, rela tive to the assertions of Mr. Woollcombe at their former meeting, in connexion with the part which the late Mr. Charles Buller had taken in drag ing up the agreement of 1847. The facts of the case were, that bolh the letters to which allusion had been made, and which bore the signatures respectively of Mr. Srephenson and Mr. llawes, were written by Mr. Buller, and the restrictions that were drawn up sub sequent to the drafr of the original agreement were also made by Mr. Buller. The report from the committee of investigation was then read, and was as follows: " The committee have occupied the very brief space allotted to them for the consideration of the difficult cir cumstances in which the company is placed in anxious deliberation with several of your dire cosrs, and in such an examination as was practicable of accounts and documents submitted to them. The corn mitte are of opinion that the position of the company is one of infinite difficulty and peril, and that whatever course of operaion may be decided upon, the proprietors must be prepared to meet heavy unless the wrongs and injuries of the company can be redressed by an united and a vigorous appeal to Parliament and the country. If the course recom mended in the report of the directors wauld have re lieved the company from further liability, the committee would have unanimously advised its adoption, but such is not the case, and being reduced to a choice of evils, four of your committee are agreed that the safest course will be not to surrender the charters of the company. The two remaining members of the committee main tain the contrary opinion; those of the directors who were present and expressed their views coincided with the minority of the committee. If it shall be the determination of the proprietors not to surrender the charters, it will of course be necessary to pass instant resolutions to suspend all expenditure in the colony, and to reduce the same in this country to such an amount only as shall be absolutely necessary to obtain redress for those wrongs, of which the committee are Rath tied that ample evidence exists, and to which alone are to be attributed your present disastrous position." Mr. DRANE, who had acted as one of the commit tee, was the first who adverted to the result of the committee's deliberations, and he admitted that the case had been placed in a new light to him by the examination of the papers in the possession of the directors. Yet he could not renounce his opinion that a dissolution of the company was the only way to consult their true interests. They were committed to heavy liabilities in any view of the case. If they dissolved, their liabilities would amount to about 20,0001. or 25,0001, w hil e , if they held to Mr. Wooll combe's plan, they would amount to nearly double that sum. Mr. FREDERICK YOUNG as one of those who had formerly advocated the dissolution of the company, but since the investigation of the documents, had re versed his opinion, and advocated the non-surrender of the company's charter. Mr. BUCKLE said he had attended the committee meeting of the day before, and had heard all that Mr. Woollcombe and his friends had to urge in favour of the policy of preserving the charter, but he bad heard nothing calculated to alter his conviction that the true and honest policy of the company was to hold to the agreement which they themselves had made. He had heard it advanced that the New Zealand Company should now proceed by locking up its charter, and urging upon Govern ment its grievous remonstrances, and keeping up a continual agitation in public to advance their ends and gain those indemnifications to which they laid claim. He thought such a course was wholly unworthy of the New Zealand Company. It would be a crooked policy, and would in the end ruin itself. He would go further—he would call it a dishonourable policy.— (No, no.) It was evident that the charter had been received for public services, and that certain privileges they enjoyed through it were coupled with certain duties. What was proposed by Mr. Woollcombe was nothing more than that they should reserve the privi leges and decline the duties. Was that an honest, was it an honourable policy ? Was it an honourable course to tike all the advantages of protection, as it was called, and to decline any one of those duties with which they were coupled ? Was it likely that the laws of this country would provide no remedy fur such a course? They might depend upon it that they would be compelled to petform those duties specified in the charter, which were also coupled with the pri vileges of which they had sought to take full benefit. Mr. WATSON then endeavoured to show, by the terms of their agreement, that in point of fact they were bound, whatever might have been the result of their efforts, to resign the charter at the expiry of the stipulated term. Mr. LEE and Mr. Dowsorr spoke to a similar effect, and urged upon the 13:Ref] g to throw themselves uphn the sense of justice of the Government and the Parlia ment. Mr. WOOLLCOMBE then proceeded at length to justify the opinion _which he had urged at the former meeting, and to deny that his amendment merited any one of the epithets which Mr. Buckle had heaped on it. He defended the conclusions which the commitee of investigation had arrived at, and reiterated his arguments in favour of retaining the charter. Mr. Burnand, Mr. White, Mr. Bugby, Mr. George Young, General Briggs, and other proprietors, took part in the discussion, but the sense of the meeting was so evidently in favour of surrendering the char ter, that, after a very protracted conversation, Mr. Woollcombe was induced to withdraw his amend ment, and the following resolution was then unani mously carried : " That, in accordance with the recommendation con tained in the director,' retort, the court of directors be empowered and required to give notice to her Majesty's of su r S r t: u te d e for i ts the h a Colonies, rters to t m the e . j r : m s ri t u y pc , ai a nP s yal p i ro e v ic i er d ie e ti d aYr f yt o o r by the 19th section of the Act 10th and 11th Victoria, chapter 112, and subject to the provi sions and conditions therein contained." The other resolutions agreed to were as follows : That in giving the nctice an earnest representa tion be addressed to her Majesty's Government on the following points: -1. That the surrender of the company's charters upon the terms 10th and 11th Vic., chap. 112, sec. 19, is a course fo rce d on t h e sharehol d ers by a hard and cruel necessity, w hi c h , from causes beyond andchpr theyecl u d Majesty'she e s lG a i e l ov l ve o e p rw p n o mo r ae t u nit, in fi theirttya f a i r l y c ol y o r n c t to r hn o as l s , i od tre admit exdpa i n an o adt d ui ac e n l e a s y h , werhi to abstain from availing themselves of the posers vested in them by law. 2. That the abandonment or suspension of such powers, and the adoption of the course s w i the t that a the tsuggestioncompany. 3. suggested by the directors in their lett er o f t h e 18t h u l t ., is equally demanded by a considerati on o f t h e in te r e That t h s a t of the th refusal e c o oni st s t a o n dby comply uti contained in the reply of Mr. Hawes of the Ist ut July is apparently founded upon a mis-apprehension by Earl Grey of the real nature of the request submitted, as well as of the intentions of the directors as expressed in their letter, inasmuch u it was not an appli cation for positive pecuniary assistance, but for a contingent guarantee only. 4. That, for these and other reasons, the shareholders confidently rely that her Majesty's Government will not avail them selves of the legal formality which compels the share holders. for their protection, to intimate this day their readiness to surrender their charter, but will receive in a candid spirit a further explanation of the causes that have prevented the realisation of the expec tations on which the agreement of 1847 was founded, and will enter frankly into an equitable reconsideration of the whole case before they proceed to the exercise of the powers with which they become legally invented by the notice now resolved to be given. 5. That, in accord ance with the suggestion in the directors' report, a corn mittee be app o i n t e d to co-operate with the directors, for the purpos e o f urg i n g the legal and equitable claims and rights of the company upon her Ma j esty's Government, and that Messrs. Buckle, Drane, Frederick Young, Watson, and General Briggs, constitute such committee 6. That all expenses of the establishments of the New Zealand Comp a ny cease from the present time except those absolutely t ee,essary for carrying on the 'unctions for which the company will continue to exist, and that the requisite instructions be sent to the principal agent by the Phoebe Dunbar. That this meeting be adjourned to Tuesday, the 16th inst., at twelve o'clock, at this place, for the purpose of receiving the report of the committee, and for filling up the vacancies in the direction, if at such adjourned meeting the shareholders shall thiuk proper so to do." The thanks of the meeting were then accorded to Mr. Cox, her Majesty's Commissioner, and to the Chairman and board of directors, after which the meeting adjourned. THE Fox CLUB.—The members of this club had their last meeting this season on Saturday last, when they dined together at the Trafalgar at Greenwich.

N. Sanford, &c,, THE LATE SIR ROBERT PEEL. IMMEDIATE CAUSE OF DEATH. Before the fatal accident which 1 . ; fldeuniversally deplored Sir Robert Peel, the Right Hon. Baronet had not been in his usual health. For a week or two he had looked unusually pale and languid; but on the occasion of his speech in the debate on the foreign policy of the Government, delivered on the morning of the fatal ic jury he looked well and vigorous; his address was ad mired by the whole House, and he exhibited no defi ciency of mental power or spirit. It has been rumoured that Sir Robert fell from his horse in an epileptic seizure, and that in his convul,ive clutchings of the rein, his horse stumblel, and fell upon him. But there is, we are assured, on the best authority, no truth whatever in this story of an epileptic Et. Nothing of the kind was observed by those persons who were near him at the moment of the accident, nor did any of the subsequent symptoms point in the least degree to such an occur rence. The fall was accidental, and the subsequent in sensibility was doubtless caused by the shock of the injury. It is of importance, we should observe, that we have the best authority for stating that Sir It ,bert Peel never in his life had a symptom which indicated any affection of the brain. As soon as surgical aid was procured, it was found that there was a comminuted fracture of the left cla vicle, with considerable se elling from the first, which, together with the excruciating pain of the whole shoul der, rendered a minute examination extremely d'fficult. A swelling as large as the hand might cover, subse quently formed below the fractured clavicle, which pul. sated to the touch synchronowly with the action of the h-art. Whet, examined carefully by the eye, it was found that the. movement of this tumour corresponded with the contraction of the auricle, and was, in some re spects, similar to the pulsations observed in the veins of the neck in very thin persons, and in certain forms of venous regurgitation. It was evident, from these signs, that some vein beneath the clavicle, probably the cub clavian, had been wounded by the broken bone at the time of the fall ; and that the subclavicular swelling consisted of blood effused from the wounded vessel. It was also evident, that the swelling was in this way, connected with the heart, forming what might be citled, a diffused false venous aneurism. This was all that could he ascertained positively. Sir Robert Peel was well known to be of a gouty habit, and he was at all times extremely sensitive to physical pain. His sufferings during the whole of his brief illness were of the most agonising kind. This might have arisen from the lace ration of some nerves converging beneath the collar bone, to form the axillary plexus —a complication which, as is well known, sometimes occurs from severe frac tures in this situation. After death, one or two of the ribs on the left side were found to be fractured, which had not been detected during life. The injuries we have referred to would have been sufficient to cause death in such a subject; but there may possibly have been fur ther injury, or disease, resulting from the accident, within the chest. This, however, was, us we have said, extremely difficult to make out. From consideration to the feelings and the express wishes of Lady Peel ~nd her children, no examination of the body has taken place, so that what we have stated is probably the sum of all that will ever be known of the cause of the death of this illustrious statesman; but upon the authenticity of what we have now placei before our readers may rely most implicitly. Sir Benjamin Brodie, Mr. Hodgson, Mr. Caesar Hawkins, Dr. Seymour, Mr. Shaw, and Dr. Foucart. were in attendance upon Sir Robert until his death. The latter gentleman is a Scotch physician, resident in Glasgow, who happened to be passing when the accident occurred. He was one of the first to raise Sir Robert teem the ground, and accompanied him in Mrs. Lucas's carriage home, where he continued in constant attend ance, with the full concurrence and sanction of Sir Benjamin Brodie, Mr. Hodgson, and Mr. Caesar Haw kins.—Lancet. ARRIVAL OF HIS REMAINS AT DRAYTON MANOR. TAM WORTH, SATURDAY EYENING.—It would be difficult to give any idea of the gloom which pervades this place and the surrounding neighbourhood. Every one speaks and feels as if he had lost, in the death of Sir Robert Peel, a personal friend. The intelligence of his demise created a profound sensation in Tamworth, but the feeling of sorrow at the sad event has, if possible, been greatly deepened since the ar rival of his remains. It was sought to keep concealed from the inhabitants the time when the body would arrive at the station, in order that there might be no manifestation of public feeling on the occasion. With the same object in view it was ar ranged by the friends of the late Right Hon. Gentleman in London, that the remains should not reach Tamworth till the hour of midnight. The fact, however, got whis pered in the course o f y ester d ay that the coffin contain ing his body would arrive about twelve at night; many hundreds of the inhabitants, being determined on taking every opportunity of showing their respt-ct for the eaemory of the deceased, proceeded as early as ten o'clock to the station to await the arrival of the train, where they stated they would remain till daylight if ne cessary, rather than not be present when it reached Tamworth. On the hearse containing the coffin being taken out of the carriage, the congregated multitude took off their hats, while many were affected even to tears. They also accompanied the procession to the town of Tamworth, and many of them went all the way to Dray ton Manor, a distance of two miles and a half. "Ile remains of the deceased reached his country residence about one o'clock. Mr. Frederick Peel, his sot!, and Mr. Lawrence Peel, his brother, accompanied the hearse in a carriage. At the funeral on Tuesday morning there will be twelve mourning carriages, which have already been engaged for the occasion. Lord Hardinge, Sir Jams Graham, and Mr. Guulburn, are among those who are sure to be present at the funeral. The Duke of Welling ton has been invited by the family of Sir Robert to be also present, but the impression here is that his feelings will not allow him to accept an invitation which he would otherwise have done with a melancholy pleasure. Though it is the wish of the family there should be as few followers as possible of the funeral train, it is under stood here that not only will all the inhabitants of Tam worth be present to render their last tribute of respect to the remains of the deceased, but that thousands of persons will come to witness the funeral ceremony from all parts of the country for many miles around. In the meantime the blinds in private houses are drawn, and the shops partially closed throughout the whole place. The town of Tamworth baa consequently a very sombre aspect. As a stranger walks through its streets and lanes, he can hardly divest his mind of the idea that there are the remains of a departed relative or friend in every house. As a further token of respect for the memory of the deceased .statesman, the inhabitants will all go into mourning, as if they had each lost a personal friend. The churches and chapel., too, are all to be hung in black cloth, while funeral sermons be preacued from all the pulpits ef the place. It has just been stated that a telegraphic dispatch has been received announcing the arrival of Mr. (now tir Robert) Peel at Dover, in which case he may be ex pected here to-morrow. It is supposed that he will suc teed his late tather in the representation of this borough. Last night the inhabitants met in the Town-hall, to agree to an address of condolence to the family of the deceased. The place, as might be expected, was crowded. The grief which pervaded every mind was visible in every coin ;mance, as well as expressed in the tone and manner of the speakers. The mayor having called the meeting, presided over it. Among those pre sent were Sir Charles Clarke, Bart., General A'Court, and the Rev. Mr. Hars:on, vicar of the parish. The latter reverend gentleman read tte lett'r of condolence to the family of their late representative, the adop tion of which was moved by Sir Charles Clarke. It is unnecessary to say that it was unauiaauusly adopted by the meeting. I have just learned that it has been proposed by some of the most influential men in Birmingham that on th.! day of Sir Robert Peel's funeral all the church bells should be tolled, all the shops shut, and business be en tirely suspended, as a mark of respect for the memory of the illustrious deceased.
