The Earl of HARROWBY moved for the appointment of a select committee, to inquire into the operation -and effect of the system under which the annual . grant of public money for the purposes of education is administered. The noble earl, in an elaborate Speech, deprecated the interference and super vision exercised by the Committee of Privy Council over the education given in all schools to which any portion of the grant for education was appottioned. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE could say from his own know !edge that the system of inspection had worked - well, and the -aid of the government inspectors was more and more sought for every year. It might be that in some instances the inspec tors had carried their Interference to too great lengths ; but, generally speaking, they kept within the scope of their instruc tions. He believed that the grievance complained of by a certain section of the Church had its origin in misconception, 'notwithstanding the care which had been taken by the Pi ivy 'Council to recognise the supremacy of the clergy in all matters of religion. He denied that Parliament had ever contemplated that the Privy Council should be warranted in placing the pub lic grants for the purposes of education at the disposal of the Established Church. It was intended that Catholics and Dis senters should equally with the Established Church participate In those grants, but no invidious distinctions had been made against the Church, as was proved by the fact that of the 685 schools assisted during the last two years no less than 533 be longed to the Established Church. For these reasons he should object to the appointment of a-committee, which he should also -oppose on-the ground of the lateness of the session, which pre cluded the possibility of turning such an inquiry to any avail .able purpose. 'Lord - LyrrLE-rox contended that there was a necessity for inquiry, because the existing system was susceptible of great improvement, and he therefore supported the motion of the Earl of Harrowby. Lord KINNAIRD opposed the motion, on the same grounds as those taken by the Marquis of Lansdowne. The Bishop of SALISBURY supported the motion, which be Would not do if he thought it could have a tendency to injure the national system of education. The Earl of CHICHESTER opposed the motion on the ground of the lateness of the session. The Bishop of OXFORD expressed his satisfaction at the whole tone of the debate, and supported the motion, believing that there were strong grounds of suspicion that there existed an intention of taking-the education of the people out of the - bands of the clergy and transferring it to a minister of public instruction. The Earl of CARLISLE shortly replied to the speech of the Bishop of Oxford, and said that the whole course pursued by the Privy Council indicated an anxious desire to secure the co operation of the National Society. Lord STANLEY said as the government thought the session too far advanced to appoint a committee like this, he hoped they would also think that it was not right to place before their lordships, when the days of the session were numbered, a whole lost of most important bills, which -there would be no ade quate time to consider. The noble lord argued strongly in support of the motion, intimating that he had long foreseen that too great powers were vested in the Committee of Privy Council, though he mould not now think it advisable to with draw them ; but the greater powers they possessed the more necessary was it that the exercise of those powers should be 'watched with the greatest jealousy. The committee ought to be granted without delay, with an understanding that its la bours were to be continued next session. and the result would be the removal of those suspicions which now existed as to the ultimate intentions of the Committee of Privy Council. In reply to a question from the Earl of GALLOWAY, The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said he would certainly not object to the appointment of a committee of inquiry next ses sion of parliament, when its labours might be rendered effective. The Earl of HARROWEY shortly replied, andtheir lordships --clivided,When the motion was negatived by a majority of 31 to HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY. Mr. POSEY moved the third reading of the Landlord and Tenant Bill. Colonel SiBTHORP moved as an amendment that the bill be read a third time that day six months. Considerable discussion ensued, terminating in a division, upon which the amendment was negatived by a majority of 53 to 17. The bill was then read a.third time. After which, Mr. S. CRAWFORD moved that Ireland should be exempted from the operation of the bill. Another discussion ensued ; but, on a division, the proposal .41 the hon. member for Rochdale Avas negatived by a majority £f 64 to 16. The bill was then passed, and the house adjourned until five o'clock. The house re-assembled at five o'clock, but owing to the ill ness of Mr. Roebuck his motion with respect to the Irish -Church was postponed by Mr. B. OsBORNE, and as it was ex pected to occupy the whole evening, hon t members who had other motions on the paper were not in their places to bring them on. The result was that the orders of the day—few in number—were proceeded with, and the house rose before six o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY. DEATH OF SIR ROBERT PEEL. The SPEAKE,B. took the chair.at twelve o'clock, when there was an usually full attendance for a Wednesday sitting. Mr. HOME, before any business was gone into, rose amidst profound silence, and in tremulous accents said, I hope, sir, in addressing the house at this moment, I may he excused for doing so, because I am anxious to express the deep regret 'which I, and I am sure every member of this house, feels at the loss the country has sustained by the death of Sir Robert Peel. When I look back at the conduct arid career of that right honourable gentleman, more particularly of late years, when events of immense importance were brought about owing to the part which he took in public affairs, and when I remem ber that he was the man who sacrificed power, office, and everything for an act which he believed the imperial interests of his country demanded, I feel that it is needless for me to _ say anything more than to express a hope that, if the house concurs with me in these sentiments of deep regret, they will readily adopt that which is the best means of showing our re spect for the departed and late member, and at once agree to a . motion for adjournment, and allow no business to be proceeded with to-day. It is impossible to state my feelings at this mo ment. I have not power to express them, but I feel so strongly the public loss which the death of the right hon. baronet has occasioned that I have only to move, and humbly to submit to the house, the propriety of concurring in an unanimous reso lution for adjourning the business of to-day out of respect to him whom I have already named ; and when I contemplate the many sacrifices he made in his lifetime for the public good, and the feeling of interest manifested in this metropolis at his -lamented decease, which I am sure will extend itself through out the whole country, I may be excused for making this mo tion, even though it should be contrary to precedent. lam not aware that any precedent does exist, such an event happily but seldom occurs, nor is it likely to occur again, at least not in my time, and I therefore hope the house will concur in this motion, out of respect to the right hon. gentleman whose melancholy death has Just occurred. Mr. GLADSTONE, who was affected to tears said , as the honourable gentleman, from motives which I am sure all can appreciate, has submitted this motion to the house, and as I . can see no other person present who has ever been connected by office with the late lamented gentleman, whose loss we all so deeply deplore, I may, perhaps, be allowed to second the motion which has just been made. lam quite sure that it will be a source of much regret to the noble lord at the head of the government, that this subject has been introduced a few mo ments earlier than might have been expected, because it will deprive him of the satisfaction of bearing his part in this the .earliest but not the last tribute of respect to be paid to one whom I may now name, the late Sir Robert Peel. Sir, the sub , ject introduced by the honourable gentleman, he will forgive me for saying so, is one that will not at this moment bear dis cussion. (Hear, hear.) lam quite sure every heart is too full , to allow us to proceed at this early period to enter upon the consideration of the extent of the calamity with which the country has been visited, in the sad and premature end of my late right hon. friend. For, although he died full of years and full of honours, yet his death is one which human eyes will re gard as premature, because we had fondly hoped that in what - ever position he might be placed, by the weight of his ability. by the splendour of his talents, or by the purity of his virtues, , he might still have been snared to render us most essential services. Sir, as it is, I will only quote those most feeling and touching words which were applied by one of England's splen . did poets to a man not less great even than Sir Robert Peel. " Now is the stately column broke, The beacon light is quenched in smoke, The trumpet's silver sound is still, The warder silent on the hill." I will say nothing more, perhaps! have said too much already. I ought, perhaps, to have confined myself to simply seconding the motion of the honourable gentleman the member for Mon trose, but I was in hopes that by protracting the occasion for a few moments others might perhaps have entered the house who would have been worthy to take part in this brief discus sion. That has not been so; but, however, lam quite sure the tribute of respect which we now offer will be rendered the more gratifying, the more valuable by the silence which has prevailed on this occasion. The motion having been put, Mr. NAPIER addressed a few words to the house. Sir R. H. INaLIs, who appeared almost overcome by deep feelings of emotion, said, perhaps, sir, my right hon. friend (Mr. Gladstone) was right when he suggested that silence is more eloquent than words on the occasion of such a loss as that which this country, and I may say the whole European community, has sustained in the death of Sir Robert Peel. At the same time, as the silence which followed my right hon. friend's address has been broken with equal feeling and truth fulnoss by the lion. gentleman the member for the University of Dublin, perhaps I may be permitted t o b ear my humble and hearty testimony to the character of the friend whom we have now lost. I trust that his memory may be brought to our hearts and to our minds without the least reference to those questions of politics which have unhappily divided us, and to which some partial allusion was made in the address of my honourable friend near me. It is not necessary to call on this house to forbear at such a period from making reference to any topic which might disturb the unanimity of feeling or sentiment sthich I trust, nay, am confident pervades the whole country. It is with cordial feelings and cordial respect that I, as one who has sat in that house for some time, rise to bear my humble testimony to what has been already said, and to state, that I believe there never was a man who made greater sacrifices for the public good than Sir Robert Peel. (Cheers.) Power be sacrificed willingly, and I believe he would have sac r ifi ce d everything except that which he regarded as the permanent in terests of the country ; and those who might differ from him in his views will, I am sure, on this occasion, unite in one cordial feeling of respect—l may say grateful respect—for the memory of a man who really did more to distinguish this house among 4he deliberative bodies of the world than perhaps any other 'sudividual who has sat in it. Sir, I cordially concur in the proposition which has been addressed with so much feeling to, and received with so much feeling by, this house, that, out of respect for the memory of Sir Robert Peel, we should proceed no further with the business of the day. Sir WILLIAM SOMERVILLE said, no notice has been given of Ain : ifitention to move the adjournment of the house at this hour, t accidentally happens that no other Minister of the Cabinet is nowpresent. It would hardly become so humble a member as myself ,to do more than participate in the general feeling of ithis house and the public ; but I am quite sure that if the moble lord at the head of the gov ernment had been in his place .—And his absence, you may be assured, is to be attrib u t e d t o would would hcoamveeon paid so a tilefact that he did not think this ' notio n h ce early—that if he had been in his place, high tribute of respect to the memory of the right ho noura bl e baronet, sod, with the very dee p est feelings of sympathy and regard, given his erlire concurrence in the motion of th e h on. gentleman, thatout.of respect to the great statesman wh o h as just passed from among us this house should not proceed with Arly_further business. , Whe SPEAKER then put the motion for the adjournment, but wasjnterrupted by Sir 3Vm. SOMERVILLE, who said, he had just been informed that Loyd John Russell happened to be out of town. The motion having been again put, and agreed to nemine tontrailieente, the house immediately adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS. THURSDAY. DEATH OF SIR ROBERT FEEL. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE laid on the table certain papers relative to the proceedings of the committee of the privy coun cil on education. The noble marquis then in the most feeling manner alluded to the recent melancholy event which has ex cited such painful feelings in the public mind, and the loss which has been sustained by the House of Commons and the country generali on the death of Sir R. Peel. It would be extraordinary indeed •if the deep voice of sorrow raised in the House of Commons did not find a deep echo in the hearts of their lordships, (Hear.) This was not a time to form a cor --net judgment of the public life of that lamented individual; but it was satisfactory to find that such an expression of public sympathy, unsolicited, unsought for, had been evinced by all claws of society ; and in that f ee li ng, unm i xe d w i th pu bli c matters, he was sure their lordships would cordially unite. „(Hear, hefir.) Lord STANLEY fully and entirely sympathised in the feelings expressed by the noble marquis. (Hear.) It had been his gAard Stanley's) fortune to be the coAegstte of Sir Peel. V. C , • ‘)\-\ 1;4; ' i."`JcA IA; . r A • Diking the last few years )ie'had• had the misfortune tribe con scientiously separated from that great man; Wit whatever political differences existed between them. there had been no feelings of personal hostility•on either side. (Hear.) He be lieved that Sir R. Peel had always been actuated by the best motives, and had made the most extensive sacrifices for the good of his country and deeply did he regret the melancholy event which had deprived the country of hireminent services. (Hear.) Lord BROUGHAM saidte had for forty years been generally opposed to Sir R. Peel, but he felt that on all occasions on which they had widely differed, that that great man had been actuated by the most pure and conscientious motives. (Hear, hear.) In endeavouring to promote theiaterests of his country Sir Robert Peel had made sacrifices compared with which all the sacrifices ever-acted by a sense of duty at the bands of a public man sunk into utter insignificance. (Hear, hear.) The Duke of WELLINGTON (with eyes suffused with tears) cordially united in the sentiments of the noble lord who had preceded him. Daring . the many years which he had been connected with that eminent man, he had always found him animated by a desire to promote the public interests, and his conviction was that whatever he had done he had always been actuated by troth and justice. (Hear, hear.) The Duke of CLEVELAND also expressed the esteem and re gard which he felt for one of the greatest•ornaments which this country had ever produced. (hear, hear.) A discussion on the Hyde Park Exhibition followed, in which Lords CAMPBELL and BROUGHAM spoke against the proposed bailding,-aud Earl GRANVILLE defended the commission and its proceedings. Lords REDESDA.LE and LONSDALE also opposed the erection, and Lord FITZW/LL/AM spoke hi its favour. The discussion ended in Lord BaounirAm's with drawing a motion he had brought forward for referring the subject to a select committee. HOUSE OF COMMONS. - THURSDAY. Lord J. RUSSELL, who addressed the house under a profound emotion, paid a warm tribute to the virtue, both public and private, of the late Sir R. P_el. The noble lord then referred to the awful and sudden calamity by which the country had been deprived of so eminent a.statesman,. and, whilst leaving the subject in the hands of the family of Sir R. Peel, declared his willingness to propose a motion for a public funeral, such as took place upon the demise of Mr. Pitt. (Hear, hear.) Mr. GOULBURN, on the part of the family of the lamented deceased, acknowledged the sympathy manifested by the house and the government, and the public, under this painful acci dent, but a passage in the will of the deceased, confirmed by expressions which had fallen from him only a few weeks ago, with reference to the Queen Dowager's funeral ; led to the con viction that it.was Sir -B. Peel's .wish to avoid ostentation or parade, and to be buried in the family vault at Drayton ; in their name, therefore, he gratefully and respectfully declined the proposed honour. Mr. HERMES expressed his sympathy with the loss the house bad sustained, and he declared that henceforth no rcmi niscenses of political diversity would mingle with his recollec tions of the deceased statesman. The subject then dropped. Lord JOHN RUSSELL then proceeded to state what coursehe intended to take with regard to.the bills.before the house. The Stamp Duties Bill would be proceeded with. As the session was too far advanced he should not proceed with the bill for the Abolition of the Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland. He would pro ceed with the Ecclesiastical Commission Bill, the Mercantile Marine Bill, the Charitable Trusts Bill, and the Parliamentary Oaths' Bill, but he would not go on with the Merchant Sea mens' Bill, the Woods and Forests Bill, or the Railway Audit Bill, and he would not proceed and press the Landlord and Te nant Bill beyond the second reading. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. in reply to a question from Mr. Disraeli, expressed a hope that he should be enabled to proceed with the Savings' Bank Bill. The subject of the National Exposition of 1851 was then in troduced by Col. SIRTHORP, who moved that the report of the commissioners just presented be referred to a select committee, for the purpose of examination and due consideration ; that the report of the select committee be laid on the table ; and that the sanction of the house be given to it before any further pro ceedings on the part of the commissioners be taken. Mr. ALCOCK seconded the motion, recommending the selec tion of Battersea-field as a site for the exhibition, instead of Hyde-park. Sir B. HALL moved as an amendment, that an address be presented to the Queen, praying her not to consent to the erec tion of buildings in Hyde-park. After a good deal of discussion, in the course of which Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that the commissioners had taken the opinion of the building committee, and were satisfied that either the Exhibition must take place in Hyde-park, or the hope of having it next year must be relinquished, the house divided twice—on the first division negativing Sir B. Hall's amendment by 166 to 47, and on the second negativing Colonel Sibthorp's motion by 166 to 46. HOUSE OF LORDS.—Frnmv. In answer to a question, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE said he had the satisfaction of being able to state, that a treaty of peace, putting an end to all differences between Prussia and Denmark, had been concluded under the mediation of this country. (Hear, hear.) The house then went into committee on the Parliamentary Voters' (Ireland) Bill, commencing with clause 2, by which the act is appointed to come into operation on the Ist January, 1851. Lord STANLEY moved as an amendment that the commence ment of the act should be delayed till the Ist June. This amendment was opposed by several noble loris, and after considerable discussion it was ordered to stand over. Lord STANLEY moved another amendment, omitting the compulsory clause, to the effect that in Ireland, as well as in England, the elector should be obliged to substantiate his claim before being admitted to the franchise. The amendment was opposed by the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, Earl GREY, Lord MONTEAGLE, and Lord EDDISBURY. On the other hand, it was supported by Lord BROUGHAM and the Earl of GLENGALL. The house divided, when there appeared—For the amend ment, 53; against it, 39. Majority, 14. The amendment was sonsequently carried against the government. The Australian Colonies Bill was read a third time and passed. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY. Mr. CAYLEY moved, in a long speech, for leave to bring in a bill to repeal the malt tax. The hon. member spoke for three hours. Mr. CHRISTOPHER seconded the motion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the motion, that the tax produced five millions, which he could not afford to give up. He also contended that the public would not be benefitted by the repeal, as the taste for beer was being gra dually superseded by tea and coffee. He called on the house to reject the motion. lir. DISRAELI spoke with much animation in favour of the tax being repealed, and urged that it was only an act of justice to the landed interest after the repeal of the corn-laws and the imposition of the income tax. _ _ _ Lord Jon RUSSELL replied to the hon. gentleman, urging that it would be dangerous to adopt the policy laid down by the hon. gentleman for that involved in the motion. Mr. CAYLEY then replied, after which the house divided, when the numbers were—For the motion, 123 ; against it, 247. Majority, 124. The motion was consequently lost. THE REVENUE.

THE EXPENDITURE OF LOUIS PHILIPPE AND HIS FAMILY.—An authentic and very curious account has recently been made public by the managers of the late civil list of France, in order to give a correct notion of the current expenses incurred by Louis Philippe and his family in each year from 1830 to 1848. The statements are taken on an average of the 18 years. The income of the crown, exclusive of the allowances and private pro perty of the Duchess of Orleans and some of the princes, amounted to 18,400,000 francs, or about £740,000 a year. Of this enormous revenue only £6OO a year was assigned by the king for his personal service, and £4OO a year for his personal expenses ; £4,000 a year for the queen's establishment, and £30,000 a year for the princes and princesses, exclusive of journies. The establishments of the palace were on a magnificent scale—£l7,ooo a year for the household of the Turneries ; £50,000 a year for the table ; £38,000 -a year for the stables, with about 310 horses, and £ll,OOO more for the stud and field sports; £17,000 a year for washing, £21,000 for lighting, &c. The royal manufactures of Sevres, Gobelins, and Beauvais, whose productions were destined for presents,cost £50,000 a year. These expenses alone, amounting to about £500,000 a year, were not susceptible of material reduc tion. The e ntertainments, presents, and journies of the royal family cost about £50,000 more. The charities of the king £42,000 a year, and of the queen £lB,OOO, without reckoning those of the princes. In patronage of the arts, subscriptions to literary works, purchase of works of arts and architectural embellishments of the domains of the crown, the king annually expended upwards of three millions and half of francs, or about £140,000 a year, during his whole reign ; the whole of the property thus collected and constructed, which had cost not much less than three millions sterling, has, of course, passed into the possession of the state, and become the property of the nation. The result of these munificent expenses was, that the civil list was exceeded by about £30,000 a year, and that the royal property was left charged with a debt of 4004,990, Times; L IVERPOOL STANDARD. THE 'LATE' SIR ROBEF.T PEEL. (Fromm Morning Par,er.) It is impossible to exaggerate the feelings of profound emotion with which the mournful intelligence of the death of Sir Robert-Peel was received on Wednesday in every circle of the-metropolis. At first, a feeling of incredulity was created by the startling intelligence; but when this had been removed beyond all doubt, the very natural desire was for more ample information than the sudden ness of the occurrence had hitherto admitted of. In order to satisfy this very natural anxiety, it will, perhaps, suffice if •we embody the leading incidents connected with the calamity in the subjoined narrative, the materials for which have been gathered from sources of unquestionable authenticity-: Sir Robert Peel had called at Buckingham Palace and entered his name in her Majesty's visiting book only a few minutes before the accident. Proceeding up Constitu tion Hill, he had arrived nearly opposite the wicket-gate leading into the Green Park when he met Miss Ellis, one of Lady Dover's daughters, on horseback, attended by a groom. Sir Robert had scarcely changed salutes with this - young lady when his horse became slightly restiff, swerved towards the rails of the Green Park, and threw Sir Robert sideways on his left shoulder. Two gentle men who were close to the spot ran forward and raised 'him, holding him in a sitting posture. Dr. Foucart was the third gentleman to render assistance. He saw the accident from a distance of 150 yards, and hastening for ward reached the spot just as Sir Robert had been raised by the other two gentlemen. Sir Robert, on being raised, groaned very heavily, and in reply to Dr. Fou cart's nuestion, as to whether he was much hurt, replied, "'Yes—very much." During the few moments which elapsed' before a carriage could be procured, Sir Ro bert became unconscious, in which state he remained until after he had been assisted into the carriage. He then slightly revived, and, in reply to Dr. Fou cart, said, I feel better." The carriage was then ordered to drive slowly through the Park to Whitehall gardens, Sir Robert being supported by Dr. Foucart and the two gentlemen who had first raised him from the ground. They had not proceeded more than thirty yards when Sir James Clarke met the carriage, and having heard of the accident, came up to see if lie could render any assistance. Dr. Foucart requested Sir James to ac company him in the carriage to Whitehall, which Sir James consented to do. In a few minutes after he had entered the carriage Sir Robert became much excited, and endeavoured to raise himself up, which it was thought necessary to prevent. He then again sank into a state of half-consciousness, in which he remained until his arrival in Whitehall-gardens. On being lifted out of the car riage he revived, and walked, with assistance, into the house. On entering the mansion, Sir Robert was met by Lady Peel and the members of his family, who had been awaiting his arrival in painful anxiety, after having re ceived intelligence of the accident. Lady Peel was over whelmed with emotion, and would have flung herself into her husband's arms had not Sir James Clarke and the other gentlemen in attendance removed her. The effect of the meeting upon Sir Robert was extremely painful. He swooned in the arms of Dr. Foucart, and was placed upon a sofa in the nearest apartment (the dining-room.) From this room Sir Robert was never removed, and so extremely sensitive to pain did he speedily become that it was only after very considerable difficulty that he could be removed from the sofa to a patent hydraulic bed which had been procured for his use. Sir James Clarke having consulted with Lady Peel, it was arranged to send at once for Sir Benjamin Brodie and Mr. Caesar Hawkins. Dr. Seymour and Mr. Hodg son, the family physician and surgeon, were also sent for at the same time. Sir James Clarke and Dr. Foucart re mained in attendance until Mr. Shaw (Sir Benjamin Brodie's assistant.) came. when the former left. .At length Sir Benjamin arrived, and a consultation took place be tween the six gentlemen whose names are above given. A formidable difficulty presented itself at the very outset of the case, from the distressing fact that Sir Robert's sufferings were so acute that he would not permit any minute examination of his injuries to be made by the medical men. The slightest touch in the vicinity of the injured parts caused him intense agony, and the only manner in which he could be treated under the circum stances was to assume that the comminuted fracture of the clavicle (which was evident to the eye on the clothes being removed) was the only one, and that the ribs were uninjured. After the consultation it was determined to reduce this fracture, but, owing to the extreme sensibility of the patient, the operation was not completely per formed, and, at the expiration of a few hours, the sufferer entreated that he might be released from the bandages, and they were accordingly taken off. During Saturday evening Sir Robert was permitted to see Lady Peel and the members of his family ; but after this time it was thought advisable to exclude all strangers from the apartment, for fear of producing any additional excitement. Sir Robert passed a restless night on Satur day, his extreme sensibility to touch increasing hourly, and his symptoms altogether becoming very alarming, which at the first, we believe, some of the medical gentle men in attendance did not consider them to be. On Sunday evening, the pulse having increased from between eighty and ninety, at which it had ranged after the acci dent, to upwards of one hundred, it was deemed neces sary to take some blood, with a view of reducing the in flammation. Twenty leeches were accordingly applied to the left shoulder by Dr. Foucart, and a large quantity of blood was obtained. There was no positive improve ment in the condition of the patient from this operation, and he continued in a very precarious state throughout the whole of Sunday and Monday. On Monday nignt the alarming symptoms were greatly increased. About seven o'clock Sir Robert became delirious, and attempted to raise himself up in bed. In this state he continued during the greater part of the night, and at intervals he became so much exhausted that his medical attendants were several times of opinion that he could not survive through the night. In the paroxysms of his sufferings Sir Robert's thoughts were with his oldest and dearest friends, and the names of Hardinge and Graham were frequently upon his lips. At four o'clock on Tuesday morning Sir Robert fell into a sound sleep, in which he continued uninterruptedly until eight o'clock. On awak ing, his mind was quite composed, and his medical at tendants considered him to be much refreshed by the rest he had enjoyed. There was still, however, cause for in tense anxiety. From the period of the accident .up to this time (pearly seventy hours) Sir Robert had taken no other sustenance than a glass of champagne and the yolk of one egg beaten up, which he was induced with some difficulty to swallow. Medicine had been administered, as a matter of course, but throughout the same length ened period the system had remained perfectly inactive. The pulse had greatly increased on Tuesday, marking from 113 to 118, and becoming very weak. At noon on Tuesday Sir Robert expressed himself to be a little easier. This relief was, unhappily, of short duration. At two o'clock far more dangerous symptoms than any which had yet been observed presented themselves. At this time Sir Robert began to breathe stertorously, and his senses again failed him. He ceased to answer any of the questions addressed to him, and appeared to be sinking into a coma tose state. Sir Benjamin Brodie was again sent for, and on his arrival agreed with Dr. Foucart and the other medical gentlemen that the case now assumed a most dangerous aspect. The pulse had become very weak, and marked 118. From two o'clock to six o'clock the change for the worse was progressive, the pulse increasing to 130, and becoming gradually weaker. Stimulants were administered, but had no apparent effect, and the ster torous breathing became more and more painful. The relatives were now informed that all the relief medical science could afford was exhausted, and that no hope whatever existed of Sir Robert Peel's life being pro longed for twenty-four hours. The Bishop of Gibraltar (the Rev. Dr. Tomlinson), a very old friend of Sir Robert's, was now sent for to administer the last offices of the Church. On the arrival of the Prelate it was in timated to Lady Peel and the members of the family that they might now, without risk of increasing the dangerous condition of the patient, be admitted to the apartment in which he was lying. In a few minutes the whole family were assembled in the presence of their beloved relative, whose exhausted condition at this time scarcely enabled him to recognise their identity. It is not the province of a journalist to violate the sanc tity of a scene like this, and therefore this portion of our narrative necessarily omits all matters of detail. It is sufficient to say, that the lamented sufferer revived suffi ciently during one period of the interview to identify the features of those beloved ones surrounding his couch• towards whom he at length extended his faltering hand, and, in an attitude bespeaking the intensity of his feel ings, whispered in a scarcely audible voice—" God bless you!" At the termination of this distressing scene Lord Har dinge and Sir James Graham, who bad been informed of the fatal result anticipated, were admitted to the presence of the patient now rapidly sinking. Both gentlemen were painfully affected ; and well might Lord Hardinge remark on leaving the room, that the contemplation of his beloved friend upon his dying couch had more un nerved him than all the dangers he had encountered on the plains of Moodkee and Sobraon. At nine o'clock Sir Robert had become so exhausted as to be callous to all external impressions. The mem bers of his family still remained near him, with the ex ception of Lady Peel, whose painfully excited feelings rendered it absolutely necessary to remove her from the apartment. The sufferer's strength was, however, so far exhausted that, although he gave occasional indications of being sensible of their presence, the power of utterance had altogether ceased, and it soon became evident that his end was rapidly approaching. Sir Robert ceased to exist at nine minutes after eleven o'clock. Those present at his decease were, his three brothers, the Dean of Worcester, Colonel Peel, Mr. and Mrs. L awrence Peel, three of his sons, Mr. F. Peel. M.P., Captain W. Peel, R.N„ and Mr. Arthur Peel; his son-in-law, Lord Villiers ; Lord Hardinge, Sir J. Gra , ham, and the medical gentlemen in attendance. Sensi bility to pain had ceased some time before death, and his last moments were not disturbed by any physical suffer ing. After death an examination of the body was made, when a most important fact was for the first time discovered, viz., that the fifth rib on the left side was fractured. This was the region where Sir Robert complained of suffering the greatest pain, and it was probably the seat of the mortal injury, the broken rib presising on the lung, and producing what is technically known .as effusion and pulmonary engorgement. The family were consulted on the subject of a post mortem examination, but both Mr. Frederick reel and Captain Peel objected to allow the remains to be dis turbed in any way, and the precise cause of death will therefore never be ascertained. An application for per mission to take a cast of the face, from an eminent exult) , tor, was also refused. _ 1 Lady Peel continued throughout Tuesday night in a I state of complete prostration, and on Wednesday morning I her illness had so much increased that it was found neces sary to call in Sir Benjamin Brodie. Several of the principal mercantile establishments in the city and at the west-end manifested their high re spect for the lamented deceased, and their deep regret at his premature demise, by closing their windows—a pro ceeding almost universally adopted inthe•ne+ighbourhood of Whitehall. The flags of many vessels 'on th 3 river, and also on many public buildings, were hoisted half mast high, as a mark of respect to the memory of the deceased. (From The 'Times.) • Strange that on the bloodless field of statesmanship death should so often come with the suddenness, the violence, and the anguish of war ! 'Chatham fell fight ing. His still greater son sank under the news of Austerlitz. Perceval was assassinated on the threshold of the house, his hand filled with papers, and a speech on his tongue. Castlereagh's end was still more awful. Romilv, too, was a statesman as well as a lawyer. Lord Liverpool was struck down in the midst of his duties. Canning fell suddenly while soaring in the pride of his might. Huskisson perished terribly in the midst of his former colleagues. Bentinck died in full health, without a moment's warning. But who would have thought that Peel would one day be added to the list ? The hero of a hundred fights still survives. All around us we see octo genarian generals and admirals, surviving countless acci dents of battle and of blood, and dying at last of slow decay. Sir Robert Peel falls by a sudden casualty, before his strength has begun to fail, or his mind to de cline. Did not the thought suggest a murmur at the dispensations of omnipotence, one might call it a waste of precious power, a mighty soul lost to the world by the merest trifle—by the silly panic or momentary impatience of a brute. How much hzd such a man still to do ! How- many large views carefully elaborated ! What treasures of observation, and acquisitions of political lore ; nay, what a mighty part he might still "nave played, had opportunity again invited, or necessity demanded his potent intervention ! But in a moment all this is beyond the grave, and speculations which but yesterday were real and probable are now become the theme of the school-boy. We are authorized to state that the horse from which Sir Robert Peel received his fall on Saturday last was bought at Tattersall's, on the 22d of April last, by Mr. Edmd. B. Denison, and intended to be offered to Sir Robt. Peel. Mr. Denison rode him daily for a week. He met the troops with their bands playing, as well as omnibuses and carriazes in Piccadilly—all which the horse passed without showing the smallest disposition to shy. Mr. Denison insisted upon Sir Robert riding him for a week before he decided upon keeping him. He did so, and then requested he might have him. The horse had been re gularly hunted, was eight years' old, and had been ridden by Lord Villiers, who thought he would suit his father in-law exceedingly well. For the last two months Sir Robert had ridden this horse regularly. (From the Morning Herald.) It was as the avowed champion of. the corn-laws that he was supported in parliament, and enabled again inlB4l to assume the premiership. " I resist it," said Sir R. Peel in reference to Mr. Villiers's motion on the corn-laws, Feb. 19, 1839, " from the strong conviction in my own mind that the present system of corn-laws ought to be maintained." " I should like to know," said Sir R. Peel on the Ist of June, 1841, " who has stood forward more than I have done in defence of the existing corn-laws. I should like to know whether any man, looking at these debates, can really have a doubt that my desire is to maintain a just and adequate protection to the agricul tural interest." _ _ _ The same sentiments were upheld on the hustings at Tamworth, June 28, 1841, and even the proposal of a fixed duty of Bs. repudiated, as not affording "a sufficient protection" to the English agriculturist ! On the 16th of September, 1841, Sir Robert Peel took his seat in the House of Commons as prime minister. How those promises that he made in opposition were ful filled, our readers are aware. It is sufficient to say that by him the corn-laws were first amended, then abolished —free trade established—and again, as in 1829, the Con servative party shattered. But why was this ? We do not desire to attribute a wrong or impure impulse for all this. May it not have been that with all his vast talents and wondrous gifts, Sir Robert Peel was one of those minds which attaches more importance to the arguments of others than to its own reasoning —that giving to every question that which he was so fond of expressing as his " mature considera tion," and then entering into the constant conflict of debate upon the same question, the strength of his own conclusions was weakened by repetition—by not finding them produce an effect upon his opponents ; whilst their assertions, put into a new form, and presented in a some what different aspect from what ho had himself first viewed them, gained their way with his intellect, and at length urged him to a conviction the very opposite of that at which he had originally arrived ? And all this may have happened without one wrong motive. That he had no vulgar ambition is certain. He had no desire for title, or peerages, or orders, or decorations of any description. He cared not for wealth, and was so cold, and so reserved, that the exercise of patronage seemed to ipart no plea sure to him. He was essentially a member of the House of Commons, and his great pride and solitary satisfaction seemed to be, that he should be recognised as its leader. For five years he held that proud position, the prime mi nister of the strongest government since the days of William Pitt ; and as such, his name must ever be iden tified with the history of his country. His policy changed twice the fortunes of his country. This must be admitted, whatever opinions may be entertained respecting him. (From the Record.) On tho night of Friday last Sir Robert Peel concluded a powerful speech in the House of Commons amidst " loud and long-continued cheering." Little was it then imagined, amidst the applause which was wont to inspire his eloquence, that his course was run, that his political career was terminated, and that instead of once more heading a new government either in person or by proxy, he was within a few hours to be stretched on the bed of death. Little was it then imagined by that "listening Senate," that within so brief a period, the knell of his departed spirit would be heard within the precincts of that House, which had been for more than forty years the theatre of those brilliant efforts by which he hoped to build for himself a lasting monument of posthumous renown. Little was it imagined when ho resumed his seat, that the hour of his departure from this busy scene of worldly ambition was at hand ; that his work for good or for evil to his country was done ; and that he was about to give in his last account to God the Judge of all. Even now it seems like a dream, and the nation is scarcely prepared to realize the fact, that the great leader of the once powerful Conservative party is no more. (From the Morning Chronicle.) The right honourable baronet was the eldest son of Sir Robert Peel, Bart., who amassed an immense fortune as a cotton manufacturer. The position of the elder Sir Robert Peel gave him influence, and his political abilities and personal probity rendered him an influential member of the House of Commons, in which assembly he repre sented Tamworth for eight-and-twenty years. He reached his 80th year, and lived to see his favourite son, in whom he had, at an early period, beheld the future statesman, holding the important and responsible office of Secretary of State for the Home Department. In the year 1773, in conjunction with Mr. Yates, he established a large cotton manufactory at Bury, in Lancashire. The establishment soon attained extraordinary prosperity. It is stated that by the year 1803 the firm had in their em ployment no fewer than 15,000 persons, and that their contribution to the excise in the shape of duty on printed goods amounted to no less than £40,000 a-year. In the year 1787 Mr. Peel married the daughter of his partner Mr. Yates, and the subject of our memoir was the eldest of a family of six sons and five daughters. Mr. Peel soon became a landowner on a large scale in the counties of Warwick, Lancaster, and Stafford ; and in the year 1790 he was first returned to the House of Commons for Tamworth. He was one of the warmest supporters of Mr. Pitt's policy ; and his admiration of tnat statesman and of his system was carried almost to the point of devotion. He felt very strongly on political, questions. Shortly before he was returned to parliament, he published a pamphlet entitled " The National Debt Productive of National Prosperity ;" of which the title alone indicates the quality and character. Mr. Peel's loyalty to his country and to his political principles took a more substantial shape than even that of consistent par liamentary support ; for when, in 1798, the government appealed to the community for pecuniary suppport in the war against France, the firm of which he was the head gave no less a sum than £lO,OOO. In 1800 he was created a baronet. In 1812 he was made a privy councillor. Some notion of the wealth amassed by this gentleman in the course of many years of manufacturing enterprise may be formed from the fact that when, in June, 1830. his will was proved, the personal property was sworn at £1,200,000. (From the Hull Packet.) We have it upon the authority of a member of the House of Commons,—a gentleman intimately acquainted with the late Sir Robert Peel, that the lamentable acci dent which resulted in his death is erroneously described in the London papers. We are assured that Sir R. Peel fainted while on horseback, and was seen to fall forward upon the horse's neck ; this caused the animal to start aside, when its rider fell to the earth, and, unconsciously retaining hold of the bridle, dragged the horse down upon him. Some time ago, we are informed, upon the same authority, Sir Robert suddenly fell down in a fit, but it was thought desirable to keep the occurrence secret. Should any inquiry into the particulars of Sir Robert Peel's death be instituted, we are assured the above facts would become known ; and our informant adds it is thought Sir Robert will be found to have suffered from disease of the heart. We may add that the horses ridden by Sir Robert Peel for many years past, have been chosen at his request, by Mr. E. B. Denison. " The favourite old bay mare," of which the London papers speak, was selected by that gentleman. Sir Robert, it is well known, was not a skilful horseman. The career of the statesman whose death we this day record affords another instance of a man springing from the ranks of the people to occupy the highest position in the country that an English subject may enjoy. The father of Sir Robert Peel was, as is well known, one of the enterprising men who helped to lay the foun dation of our present enormous and important cotton manufacture; and who, whilst establishing a channel for the employment of thousands of his fellow countrymen, won for himself a princely fortune. He was born in 1750, and in 1773 embarked in a cotton factory at Bury, in Lan cashire, in partnership with a Mr. Yates, whose daughter he afterwards married. In fourteen years —so rapidly w as money made by cotton spinning in those days—he bad amassed enough to purchase a large landed estate in Yorkshire, to which be subsequently added others in ,Staffordshire and Warwickshire. At Tamworth, then f a ,`Uni into decay, he setup an extensive factory, and, by restOn ng . its business actiy4y, and giving employment to i ts i n h:bitgato, gained political influence, which afterwar42 secured him the seat for that borough —a seat subse quently enjoyed by his son. The late Sir Robert Peel, the subject of this notice, was born on the sth of February, 1788. Inheriting his father's talents and aptitude for business, he had all the superadded advantages of an early," sound, and complete education. He was first sent to Harrow, where he was form-fellow with Byron. From Harrow the future statesman went to the University of Oxford, where he entered as a gentleman commoner or Christ Church. The qualities he evinced at his public school went with him to his college. He dis played the same application and proficiency that had dis tinguished him at Harrow, and took a first-class degree both in mathematics and classics. No sooner had he taken his degree than his father se cured for him a seat in parliament, and he was returned, in his 21st year, for Cashel. Upon taking his seat he adopted the political party of his father, and spoke and voted with the Tory party. He at once displayed great capabilities for debate, and made several speeches of great promise. So highly did ministers regard his talents, that in 1810 he was chosen to second the address to the throne on the opening of the session ; and in the same year he was appointed Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies. The official career thus commenced, and fated to lead to the highest offices of the state, did not linger in its early stages. From an Under-Secretaryship in Downing-street . Mr. Peel was promoted in 1812 to the onerous post of Chief-Secretary for Ireland during the Viceroyship of the Duke of Richmond. In this position he brought in a bill, subsequently carried, for establishing the Irish constabu lary force. The success of this experiment in Ireland subsequently suggested the embodiment of a similar force in this country. Having changed his constituency from Cashel to Chippenham, he sat fora few years for the latter borough, when a vacancy occurring, in 1817, in the re presentation of the University of Oxford, upon the eleva tion of Abbot to the peerage, his Alma Mater paid him the great compliment of electing him to fill the vacancy. Having resigned the Irish Secretaryship, he had more leisure for taking a prominent part in the discussions of the English parliament; and, on the 17th January, 1822, his diligent and talented support of his party was rewarded. Lord Sidmouth having retired on that day, Peel was ap pointed Secretary of State for the Home Department, a post which he held till the advent of Canning, in 1827. When Canning became Premier, Peel and some of his colleagues resigned, but the death of that minister occur ring in August of the same year, caused another change in the position of parties. The Duke of Wellington being called to the counsels of the king in the ensuing January, 1828, Peel was once more in place as Home Secretary, and held that impor tant post during the troublesome period that preceded the dissolution of the Tory ministry in 1830. Before he took office with the Duke of Wellington, he had staunchly opposed Catholic.emancipation, but he entered upon his official career in 1828 knowing that the Duke meant to grant relief to the Roman Catholics. His voice and vote being used in favour of Roman Catholic emancipation, his old friends who were opposed to that measure, of course, withdrew their support from him, and he was beaten, as a candidate for the University of Oxford, by Sir R. H. Inglis, and compelled to find his way into parliament through the convenient borough of Westbury. In 1830, the Conservatives having quitted office, and the Whigs let in to carry the reform bill, Sir Robert Peel opposed that measure with great ability. In 1834, Earl Spencer died, Lord Althorp resigned, the Melbourne ministry was broken up, and the Duke of Wellington was again sent for. Sir Robert Peel was at the time in Italy, with his family, seeking amusement, and the improvement of his health. The Duke, by this time, seems to have fully appreciated :the value of the absent statesman to the Conservative party, for he des. patched, at once, a messenger to offer Sir Robert the premiership. He returned to England, formed a ministry, end dissolved the parliament. It was on the 9th of February, 1835, that the new parliament assembled. In this parliament Sir Robert Peel's government was beaten on more than one question. On the Bth of April, he and his colleagues resigned, and the Whigs returned to power, which they retained until 1839, but with gradually dimi nishing majorities, until, at length, they were virtually defeated on the Jamaica bill, and retired from office. This was in 1839. Sir Robert Peel was once more en trusted with the task of forming a ministry. Sir Robert submitted to her Majesty a list of a new household, on the ground that the proposed changes were politically necessary. The Queen declined agreeing to the suggested alterations, and Sir Robert having, therefore, declined to form an administration, was once more in opposition, and the Whigs carried on the government until 1841. The events in Sir Robert Peel's life since that time are too recent to need minute recapitulation. We need only state briefly that, in 1841, Sir • Robert strongly opposed the proposition for the abolition of the corn laws. Du ring the electoral contest of that year he appeared as the head of the country party, against the free traders. Protection and free trade met face to face on the electoral field, and the battle was chiefly fought between these an tagonistic systems. In this first pitched battle between them, free trade was worsted, and the Whigs, in the autumn of 1841, met a parliament in which there was a majority of nearly 100 against them. As soon as they made this discovery they resigned, and Sir Robert Peel, the champion of the country party, and the leader of the Conservatives, was once more summoned to form an administration. From the manifestoes which he uttered, and the speeches which he delivered, as well as from the form in which the issue between the two parties went to the country, it could not be doubted that Sir Robert acceded to power as the avowed enemy of free trade, and the declared protector of the corn laws. In less than a year, Sir Robert proposed a modification of the sliding scale of corn duties. The principle was adhered to, but the general scale of duties from the high est to the lowest was reduced. About the close of the session of 1844, Sir Robert most positively disclaimed any intention on the part of the government to disturb the settlement of 1842. Shortly after the opening of the session of 1845, the government, with Sir Robert at its head, proposed one of the most sweeping alterations in the tariff of the country that has ever been effected. It was a decided advance towards free trade. Hundreds of articles were swept away from the list of dutiable articles, and hundreds of imposts abolished. Sir Robert Peel was frequently questioned during the session as to his intentions with regard to the corn laws. His answer was invariably that it was not in contemplation to interfere with them. Then came the potato failure of 1845, and the agitation of the Anti Corn Law League ; and in December. 1845, the country was informed that the Peel Cabinet was at an end. The ministers left town for Osborne, and returned as private individuals to London. Lord John Russell, now a declared free-trader and corn-law repealer, was sent for by the Queen on Sir Robert's recommendation. The Whigs did not succeed in forming a government. Personal disputes prevented them from completing their cabinet. After a week spent in vain efforts to reconcile differences, Lord John abandoned the task, and Sir Robert Peel was once more reinstated in the post which, on this occasion, he can scarcely be considered to have quitted. Speculation was now rife as to the policy which the restored minister would pursue. It was not until shortly after the opening of the session of 1846 that the country was made fully aware of the principles on which he had reconstructed his cabinet. He then formally announced his intention, not of modifying, but of entirely repealing, the corn-laws—a resolution which ho soon afterwards carried into effect. Sir Robert was for but a brief time in office after this. He was placed in a minority on the Irish Coercion bill ; Lord John Russell was again sent for; and the Whigs have since that time held the govern ment. Sir Robert Peel has expired at the age of 62. He occu pied a seat in parliament for 41 years. Without being less of a debater, he was more of the orator than Lord John Russell—his speeches always evincing a comprehen sive grasp of his subject, and a wonderful command of details. He was married on the Bth of June, 1820, to Julia, the youngest daughter of General Sir John Floyd, and had issue five sons and two daughters. One son has enjoyed diplomatic employment, a second is in the navy, a third in the Scots Fusilier Guards, a fourth occupies a place in Parliament. One of Sir Robert's daughters was married in July, 1841, to Viscount Villiers, eldest son of the Earl of Jersey. In 1809 when Peel had turned 21 years of age, there were some remarkable men in the House of Commons— Tierney, Sheridan, Wilberforce, Wyndham, and Whit bread, were amongst the most conspicuous of those who had shared the campaigns of the great leaders of the parliamentary strife of past days, and who were now descending from the stage ; whilst Canning was in the vigour of life and the maturity of his brilliant powers ; Grattan, Romilly, Burdett, the idol of the mob ; Lord Henry Petty (the Marquis of Lansdowne), James Aber crornby, afterwards the Whig speaker of the house, and now Lord Dunfermline ; Croker, of official and literary celebrity; Charles Grant, (Lord Glenelg), Francis Home, Sir Henry Parnell, not forgetting Castlereagh. Brougham entered public life at the same time with Mr. Peel, as did Lord Palmerston and Frederick Robinson, now Earl of Ripon. Mr. (now Sir Robert) Peel arrived on Saturday at Do ver. It is supposed that he will succeed his late father in the representation of Tamworth. On Friday night the inhabitants of Tamworth 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 p erva d e d every mind was visible in every countenance, 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. Harston, vicar of the parish. The latter rev. gentleman read the letter of condolence to the family of their late representative, the adoption of which was moved by Sir Charles Cl ar k e . It is unnecessary to say that it was unanimously adopted. men of Birmingham, that, on the day of Sir R.
