THE MAYOR% DINNER AT TAMWORTH.
SIR ROBERT PEEL'S MAIDEN SPEECH.

This gonna gatheriog of the "men of mark and
likelihood" of the ancient borough of Tamworth, toot' piste
at the Town-ball, on Wednesday evening last, when upwards
of 70 sat down to plinths of the hounteons taut provided by
their chief magistrate, Job C. Righton, Erg Tamworth
mayor. Feasts have often attracted the attention of a larger
circle than the inhabitants of t►e borough, and the present
ocemiort was remirkable for the first public appearance of
the heir to the nett name which the present generation has
learned to imams with Tamworth. On risinu to acknow-
ledge the toast, fhe members for the borough," proposed
by Mr. Knight,
Sir ROBERT PEEL said—Gentlemen, it is with feelings

of thedeepestemotiogi that I nee to return my very down
and cordial thanks for the hied and finning manner In
which you have resionded to the tut toast I regret
extremely that my hon. colleague is not present to partici,
pate in the pleasure arising from the mincer in which the
mention of out names hos beta received, and I am sure you
all lament the eireunatances which detain him elsewhere.
(Bear, hear.) You will bear with me, I trust, Is the
eareesion of my feelings and opinions on the present occa
Iles keen the consideration that this is not only the first time,
Wan Ikea opportunity, upon which I tare had the grati-
Malin of meeting any of my conetituents publicly, as P.
were, although I admit, thanks to the kind and courteous
hospitality of our mayor, in a moot agreeable m ; far
less such an influential body as are here present, amongst
whom I recognise with pleasure, and I may add, as a
source of encouragement, so maxi friends linked together ,
with me in the 'octal fits of mutual intercourse,
but of addenda' publicly any assembly whatever.
Lot us call to mind the circumstances under which I now
appear before you, and what melancholy reminiscences they
bring back to out recollection. I now stand in the very place
where at a lake period haat year (and how often in fernier
years), surrounded by those whom he was wont to call him
friends, has he, the highest political ornament of his time,
your honoured representative, my father, stood. Hew often
has his eloquence charmed you, his untimente elevated you
to a considerition, that in addressing you his friends, his
neighbours, his oonstitueote and in making public mention
of tile views on political subjects, his voice would have a tar
wider range then the limits of this constituency, and that
from the walls of this ancient and honoured hall they would
be caught up to be repeated from or.e tad of the country to
the other, as our guide and enceuragt anent in seasons of des-
pondency, to he borne aloft in our recollection 11 the
spring-tads of our pEepoeity. (Cheers.) But a change has
come over the scene. Let as improve the melancholy
bereavement we have sustaintd by recognising in it one of
the inscrutable dispensations of an all-wise Providence.
Hitherto, but more particularly during the last eight years,
the pursuits of my life end the aim of my ambition have
been directed in a very different channel to that in which,
from the uteoreeeen eircum‘tincea referred to, they now ap-
peared destined to flow. Consequently, although I have
arrived at that period of life wen many of my own standing
are not only thoroughly conversant web, but have already
taken an active part in the discussion of most questions
affecting the modal and political condition of this country,
and have, moreover, by practice, overcome in the public ex-
pression of their anneals, that timidity naturally resulting
at the outset from a want of sufficient confidence ia one's
own resources ; I feel, gentlemen, that, from long rod
dente abroad, and totally different pursuits, I have
much to learn to fit me for the adequate dis-
charge of those duties my preseat position entails.
(Cheers.) Than are occasions, and this is one, when
it may not be altogether inaoyisable to go a little further
than the mere interchange of complimeatary remarks, and
with your permission. I will refer briefly to the position to
which your conflation hat elevated me. In • few days,
and for the first time at the commencement of • paliamen-
tary eerion, I shall nice my seat in the Hone et Com-
mons. It is true that towards the elan of Int mean I
took the oaths qualifying me ;or a seat in parliament, but
I took no put an the deliberation! of the house, and there-
lore it is that I am desirous of dating the c munsucement
of my pareamentary career from the approaching semen.
I look upon it as e very important epoch in my life, and ,
I assure you I am deeply sensible of the responsibility, '
not only attached to the name I bear, but to the political
association I have the tumour of enjoying. (Hear.) I
have hitherto made no profession of political faith, and I
have given no pledgee, as you regeired none of ins, end
I take this opportunity of thanking the conentwiecy
for the courteous delicacy they showed towards me in
this matter, and which inrenet the responsibility of my
position, said renders it doubly incumbent upon me to prove
my Mints tit gratituds by couunual devetiou to your neonate.
(linen) But thus lir lam now prepared to state, that,
as • loyal subject of the crown, a true protestant of the
church of England—(cheep)—arid a liberal conservative in
poling, I hope so to shape the course of my public life,
I that, as long as I snail have the 'lnoue of copying • seat
in parliament, I may succeed in meriting the noliderice
and esteem of my constituente, enjoying the satistactien
that I may not have been altonetn.r twine in my ge-
neration. (Great applause.) I hope to discharge the
donee which will devolve upon me in a right
meaner. Certainly I enter parkament not with the vein
inaipid grwiticatma of • perso all vanity, bat with the deter
mination of devoting the beet faculties I poems to the study
of political question. I have already Jointed that my poli-
tical convicuous are of a liberal tendency, but permit me to
enlarge on the point, M order that ne enieniareeroction may
apply lie me or that you may give me neat. for more than
I nohow lem for cougervang sacredly all teat the wisdom
el our &Mann and the prudeen of Denten VAIWIMeIt have
secured for our etijoynaint, into far u they are cotenant
with the present and permanent interests cad inhere of '
society. (Hear.) I am Nosily fur emanating and re-
modelling, bat with prader.ce and discretion- whatever may
be shown to be incompatible with those present interests,
whatever may be condtmeed as u. just ana oet ()lieu ty an
expression of truistic opinion—that safest criterion by w hint we
can form accurate appreciations on politte al subjects, the rud-
der by which the statesman ought by are pollution, if tenable,
to guide the vessel of state ; but mark the diretence, lam de
sinus of establishing between the calm and loyally dines-
alonate expremi in of public opinion and the wild eoutiation
e/ popular prejudin which sometimes calls itself ptablic
opinion. With the firmer, I will endeavour to keep pace,
bait as regards the latter, I shis'l always enamour to he proof
spinet at. (Cheers.) From these considerations it le na-
tural to inter that I make say appearance vu the political
stage rather as a partisan of progress than ac an advocate of
that stationery school of policy which would et fie the intro.
docti-n of questions, or impede chengee, weigh might attest
sight appear unsalted toe or inexpedient. But when I talk
of princess, I allude not to ate Sentinel srelreu which is
based upon vain sonniess theurin, which by epp.als to the
lessees aught cause great anion to the eau._ at tenstint-
natal liberty, but I speak of that preenss which has its
Inundadons laid upon the industry, intr.:l4nel/ end good
mon of society; of the pron..* which, noising all elaseased
the community m alas common bond of mammal interests,
interferes nut with but rather annuragee • gradual advance
in the science of government, nein and political,
to the developinent of Ideas, and consequently
so ▪
advanced more/ and 'reline.: advantages. (Cheers.)
Before I sat down I would refs to two sabjects, one of
which has produced and continues to excite mere than ordi-
nary in ered—l referee the invade...lion sad complete esta-
blishment
of • Human catholic hit many in England. The
other is the subject of tax alio* with teenage tont financial ,
arrangements. As regards the lathy, I am dee:decay in '
favor of the maintenance of • wiae and prudent economy
in all the various branches of the public administration ; at
the same time I would be diseoud to resist all sweeping
measures of &venial reform which, ceder the pretext of
alleviating the burdens weighing upon the indanious
elands, may appear plausible and .xpedeent, but which un-
questionably would aired only temporary and dubitable
advantage, inasmuch as they might venues a rentioa
watch would be fu more prtjudicial than an a:t-
inhorn pted continuance of the termer measurer. (Hen,
bear.) lam ego not a very r urdy advocate of the my,
raised (or alleviation of taxation the moment it is known that
there ie • surplus in the exchequer. Not that I would not
willingly see the repeal of all taxation smieloing upon the
industry of the country, or interfering with the unitary
condition of the 0141101, particularly if in their uncondi nail
surteader, increased impetus could be given to the develop-
mint
of our financial cetaceans, and at the same time no very 1
material injury be indicted upon the revenue of our country ;
but recollecting that we expect the government to be con-
dawned is an efficiecit manner, while all enj ty an honest
pride in witnessing the power which our political and com-
mercial importance issues us over the whole world, we must
take are to be prepared for those contingencies which are
within tee limits of probability. Censequestly, without refer-
ring to what party may have the &dadaist:anvil of affairs, we
must be prepared cbeerfully to melte every notifies in favour of
the public good. (Cheers.) Now, as regain the religious
seal—l believe I may add the relations aniniositin—which
naforninately the retest organisation of a Boman catholic
hierarchy in England has excited throughout the whole
country, I ma not quit* prepared, upon an immature eon-
eideratiou of the question, to commit myself in any definite
manner by an expression of opinion which I might here-
after have reason to lament; but the conclusions I Dave
already arrived at give me no such grounds of alarm as
others capable of observing have expreseed themselves appre-
biotin of. (Hoar, tear) At the Limn time I consider it
highly aseneary that the dignitaries of our church should
bestir themselves, anal keep a rather more watchful eye than
they have hitherto doge over the spiritual interests ens-
witted to their charge and superiatendence, so that when the
dangers threaten no to which the church must neerhearily
be exposed from the manning and insidious attacks of her
eremite, we may be ready to look to our guides and autho-
rities in religions matters for advice and encouragement,
and that they may be prepared to show as them steps
which will go • ion way towardsdisanniog religious appre-
hension and doubts. (Great applenee.l And now I re.
same my seat, glad of the opportunity I have had el meeting
Madams you, and very grateful for the attention with which
yea have belated to my enervation, as well as the flattering
ruhrtioa you have given me. Important matters will be
brought Wore the consideration of the House of Commons
&Ming the next session, and I trust yon will give me
malt hr an impartial and conscientious discharge of my
dame. I apprehend that after the lapse of
dim we shall compare notes, I shall have as much
in meeting you on public grounds, is I am sure
ohotl times asjoy in meeting you on prints ; and that
