THE LATE SIR ROBERT PEEL.
The Marquis of LONSDO WNE.—SIy lords, 1 now,
with the permission of your lordships, will for a few mo-
iler= ask your atteutica to a subject +Lich, I am sure, is
present to all your lordahips' =lode and which will require
that you should jo emit me fora short time to els= year atten-
tion, nth to ask you to deviate from the ordinary course of
your proceedings so far as to hear me on a subject which is
not before the house. It is quite Was that when we
look around this house we do not feel the loss
of any imp:riot person here. There is no great blink in
this piece perceptible ; but we arc all made deeply swan of
a loss which has occurred in an assembly with which we an
connected by so many ties end relations, political and per-
sonal; sad, feeling as we do that we breathe and use the
ante atmosphere, and being daily occupied with the same
objects, no occurrence deeply affecting the interests and pro-
ceedings of that nimbly can do otherwise than 4:tend its
ioflornee to your lordships house. (Hear, hear.) We all
must be aware that to that assembly there has befallen •
great calamity and agreat personal Ines, the weight of which
has been deeply felt in that place ; and It would be extraor-
dinary indeed if the deep voice of sorrow which hes been
raised there did' not find an echo within these walls.
(Hear, hear) My lords, this is not the place, and this is
aot the time to sit in judgment upon the political c odnet,
upon the public scions of any great statesman, at the mo-
meat that his presence is wittdrawn from us.
The conduct of sny great public man, posteritati
toreno se et trqd,tur, must abide the judgment
of
that i coterity, and the actions of one generation be sub-
mitted to the Judi/meet of another, perhaps better quali-
fied. beesuse father removed from the scene of those
actior.s; sad thereby better enable.: to contemplate that
asses and to survey it is all its testier and all sus results.
Bet, my lords. there is one tribute which is due to the last
=Mina sad Baal clew of a distiaguisheu public career,
the value of which is important is proportion as it is
iustaataneous—that is, the expression of public ft apathy—
Of publie sympathy unasked, unsolicited, unsought fee from
ell quest,ri and all etas es of soe:e y, attending, and I wi
I could ad 1, cheerio, the dying moments of such a person.
(Hear, hear.) That sympatl y, that feeling, unmixed with
psual sentiments, I am oonvinced your lorosoips are no
less disposed t:.an every other class of the community to ex•
rem. (Hear.) My lords, fcr myJtlf I can only state, that
it having been my butane from • prolonged lib to assist at
the cum orneement and development of the career of him
whoa I must now urfortneately c ill the late Sir Robert Peel,
having witnessed his first exertions and the canntemensent of
that c.reer of witith, is the ordinary coarse of nature and
Luella even". I could not expect myself to en the close—l

others, bat certainly for a much longer time than many

to the lar—it would be imposeible to witness the sudden and
uneepeeted close to such a life, se employed, without that
passing expressioa of sympathy. sorrow, and condo
lean with which, I believe, all classes in this coun-
try, but more especially all those connected with
its legislature and public proceedings, have witnessed
an ev-ont which has steeped their hearts ia sorrow
and ft Ed their minds with unavailing mon". (Hear.)
My lords, I can say nothing more; what has been felt else.
when must he felt here aed mast be felt thr.ughtu• the
moactry, sad I ass persuaded myself that, however fotoly, I
ban new only given vent to your lordships' feelings as well
as to my ova, when 1 have endeavoured to show to the
world that you wi:l sot suffer such • calamity, such a loss,
to Wismar:len. (Hear, hear.)
Load STANLEY—My lords, great as =doubted:7 is the
putlic loss which Du been sustained, and deep and universal
as is the sympathy which has been manifested by the whole
matey at the calamity which has fallen upon it, I had cot
eatic:peted that in this home, of which Sir Robert Peel was
not a member, the noble marquis would have fel: it soceemry
to have called for asy public expression of feeling, or even
have adverted, as he has done, to that lamentable dream-
stele!. Bat as the noble marquis has adverted to the case,
I =4 t sot deprive myself of the melancholy gratifi-
cauto of expreesin; how fully and entirely I partielpate
and sympathise is those sentiments which have been so feel-
they expressed by the noble =snide. The noble marquis
has truly said that this to time to critic= the public sets
of a tothlie man saatched from his couatry in the very prime
of lie, sad at a period when we might have reasonably ex-
pected tasty years yet rem tined to be devoted to the public
service of those instabilities, of that uallincldag zeal, of
that unwearied diligence welch were always at the envies of
his country. Hear, hear.) It has been my fortune to have
been at some periods opposed to, and at others to
have been the colleting, the humble colleting, of
the law Sir Robert Peel. It has been with deep re-
gret that during the last four years of his life I have
been separated from him by a conscientious, I am sure, &t-
-hreat" of opinion on both sides, on important matters of
domestic policy. But this is not the place to speak
Of differences of opinion on such subjects; • great
man—s great statesman has pats= away from amongst us
by a sudden and inscrutable dispentatioa of providence—he
has left in the other house—ha has left among his camper n
—he has left in his country a great void. We are deprived
of the services of a great, • powerful end laborious intellect,
an uutlinchiag diligence in business, and an un-
sparing appliestion of all his best talent., of hie
strength, his health, and of all his great powers
to the envies of his country. (Hear, hear.) This,
my lords, is the moment at which all political considerations
should erase, and at which the most solemn feelings must
Worms themselves on your lordships' minds of the vanity of
all human hopes end ambition—of the instability of all those
Wept upon which the destinies of nations hang ; and that
ft is not =suiting to remember that we are in the hands of
One who rules the destinies of the nations, by other than
human laws, for ever.
le.rd BROUGHAM hoped he mien he permitted to linger
for a giggle moment on this painful Dubin, where no con-
tention or difference of opinion could exist. He had for to ears
Dad the misfortune of being very generally opposed t Sir
Robert Peel, but he had lived to acknowledge cheerfully
and coaseintiously the splendid merits of that eminent man,
and to he convinced that eves on those points on which they
Ls t most widely differed the late lamented baronet had
Wed from pore and conscientious motives. (Hear, hear.)
The last stags of his political life had been chequered by feel-
ings most painful to an amiable, generous and honourable
man because he differed from those with whom he had so
long acted. He bad, however, from the purest feelings of
public conduct adopted the thane which he had pursued,
and he could turn from the storm without to the sunshine of
en approving conscience within. Whether ha wen right or
wrong, he had puteued that gonna which he firmly believed
the interline of his country demanded, and is doing so he
had made sacrifices, compared with which, all the sacrifices
which had ever been exacted by a call of duty at the hands
sf a public man sank Into pulse+ nothings's'. (Cheers.)
The Duke of WELLINOTON (who was deeply affected,
frequently shed tears, and was warmly audible in the gallery)
was understood to gay that he mold not let the opportuaity
pass without exporting his consumes= la what had fallen
from the noble lords who had jest premed= him. He had
long been acquainted with the late Sir Robert Peel, and had
never 'eased to have the honour of rejoyiti his friendship
durisg the whole course of that acqualawnes. A love of
truth and a constant desire to promote the public service
were the distinguishing features of his character. In the
whole donne of his communication with him he had never
had the slightest reason to name% that he bad ever stated
anything which he did net firmly believe to be the fat. The
aohle duke, after some farther observatioas, which were
inaudible from his deep emoitioa, concluded by expensing
his gratification at the mintimeate whisk he had heard
expressed, and Ia which he fully joined.

THE PROPOSED IaiIMMTION OF 1851.

den at the attempt about to be made to datecy the public
away a the park. It might be said, " Why was sot
this discovered earlier, and wanting sent to the commis-
earners beton they proceeded to adeertise for estimates, and
all that ? " (Heer, hear.) Wail, he should admit the
amesiesionerts had scathing to complain, that so long a
time had bees suffered to elapse without the intuferento

to be infiorted spec property ia that quarter.
W
However, ke could not subject f t
eay part of the ccomplaint,fur he had lug apo
—ease eight er to. weeks since—bromht the sub.
jest before the cossideratioa of their loaships. (liar,
friar.) Oa that Calaii3ll he stated his opinion without ro-
am or diegurte, but it was received with very contempt.
(HA, se.) Indeed it was; aid he was held up as if he were
a dossier sort of ihdividual, and the only person who held
Mere strange and eccentric doctrines and opinions. (Lumb-
ar, and no, no.) Well, what was the fact ? He set only
did not stand slue, bat could net even disoover—except
with few and rani exceptions—the least difference of opinion
with that ante/tamed by himself a the subject. Could
anything be more plain than this case 1 What right had
ay persons on the men etiquette of peraiedon to erect a
Mtge building in Hydt.park, the like of which had
ant been undertaken—it' they Were to credit roper
=tali:a—since the buildiag of the Tower of Babel,
er the erection of the Pyramids of Egypt? (Great
laughter.) 'ibis enormous building would cover 24 acres,
and drag its unsightly length onr the verdure of t extent
if the park. It would have an immense cupola,a much
larger one then St. Paul's ; and he wished to know what
sight the commaioaers had to cut up the roads, snaking
teem impassable for the iohabitaats to travel? (lieu.)
Passing from the erection of the building and the
anting up of the roads by carts and waggon, he had nest to
gal attention to the tact of the erection of a large steam
engine. But that was said to be nothing at all, because the
smoke wool.' consume itself. (Laughter.) Bet he doubted
that very much ; and, on the contrary believed that the
ainisepttere ol the locality would b: derkeoed and vitiated
by the discharges of smoke termagant on the erection of that
seam engine. Now, ha celled ea thereto consider what would
to theconsequeace of this exhibition. A countlese multitude
would Useable; and that was looked upon by many, indeed
by himself, as • matter of alarm, as involving the preserve- 1
tins of the public peace—but for that the government was
answerable. (Hear, bear.) lie was tell that, in a financial
point of view there were street difficulties as to the encase
of the project, and it was rather ominous to observe the
deverity with which the question of 'applies was met by
the government. (Hear, hear.) When first asked if they
would make up auy deficit by a vote, they repudiated all
such idea, said the thing was purely a matter of individual
speculation, with which tha governraent had no connexton,
and for which they would consequently gnat no money.
(hear, hear.) But gradually as they were questioned, their
denials became thinner, until at last a supposition
same to be entertained by the public' that the
public money would be requited—(lBu hear)—and
he than awned that it would and should be required.
(Hear, hear.) They het fund of

ding thil mamas of
other countries, &a would give them one. In Prance,
for • trifling exposition which hal taken—trilling what
compared with that which was to be hoad= is 1851
—a building of lath and plaster, cowering bar or five acres,
was erected in the Champs Elpie at Paris, at • eat of
16,0001. N rtr the building to to erected in Hyde-park—Hi-
nes aside all comparison as regarded arc—would not be of
lath and plaster, bat of brick and mortar and iron—a regular,
aubstaatiel building, with an immense cupola, and which of
erase would cost some twenty times the amount of the
building in the Champs Elsie. It night he said there
would be intimates, sad that the builders would be hound
by them; but he thought their lordships had excellent
experience of all that. it was said that 1,000 additional
cowstabelary would bet required; but he (Lord Beougham)
amazed that the number would be nearer 2000., (He ar,
Isar.) Again, it was urged that all this would be only for
• few days. Indeed: But they should recollect their new
castaway should be drilled and trained to be in resell
aces, and for that purpose they should commence items-
di stely, at an expense of some 00,004. for LON men ad-
ditional, or 100,0001. fa 2,00.) men. (User, hear.) It
had been said that " great crowds were attracted to London
oar the occasion of the coronation;'' but he recollected that
the craw, were thee scattered Aa dispersed more or less,
whilst during the exposition they were certain to converge
on one point; and again, the coronation occupied only one
day, whilst the exposition would extend over many maths.
(liar, hear.) The next question that 100111 was as to the
right; and strictly ?peaking the parks were vented in the
crown, or rather ut the department of the Woods and
Forest.. lie did not think it would be an easy matter for
any board or cemaission to assert an exclusive claim to such
property, to the exclusion of the public. When Georg:: II
inquired of Sir Robert Walpole what the enclosure
of the parks would cost, that sagnetous states-
man reo.ied it would feet him a crown. That
war strong language in that day, and would be strong
language in the present day. (Hear, hear.) One of the
excuses nude was, that the budding would not be permanent,
and that it was to be removed as soon as the necessity for it
was at an end. But he doubted not that when once erected,
its beautiful pillars, its graceful cupola, sad other architec •
meal beauties and perfections, would find such favour in the
11341 of some, that exclamation", wen certain to he raised
against the taking down of the pile. (" Hear, hear," and
Wight's.) He had neobjectiontothe exhibition. Much good
was likely to ario front it. Let the matter go on by all
means, bet let not foreigners be told that it would be •
breach of hospitality if the best park in the metropolis
was not gives up for the purpose. But if the
exhioitirn was not to take place except in Ilyde-park,
he confessed that much as he regretted that such a result
should lo.low, he would accept that alternative rather than
it should take place in Hyde-park. The noble and leaned
lord concluded by moving that the petition which had been
presented a few nights ago by the aetue earl, and which was
signed by Mr. Justice Croswell and other respectable indi-
viduals, should be referred to a select committee.
Biel GRANVILLE defended the government and the
royal commission. He pointed out the constitution of the
amaisaon, containing, as it did, the represeutatives of the
different shades of political ',palm in the country, and
especially the late Sir IL. Peel, who had been present at
a meeting at the commission a few hours hams the ac•
idea happened to him, and who he (Ertl Granville) had
die satisaction of thinking approved of the mode in
whirl the exhibition was proposed to be carried out. The
table and learned lord said that he areappr of the 'objects
.'the exhibition. lie was bound to bele the noble and
learned lord, bet he could not help thinking :that
the noble lord stretched very considerably the practice
a chaslising the child in the love he bore it.
One of the royal parks war mentioned as early as July last
in one of the public journals as an appropriate place for
balding the exhibition; and the Times of October 18 stated
that Hyde-park afforded peculiar advantages. It ccrtainly
never struck the coamisuoners that it would be a recom-
mendation to the sits that it should be se much out of the
way as possible, and in granting Hyde-park fur the purpose,
they attached conditions which he believed would be for the
public convenience in the sad. They did not intend keeping
open the exhibition till November, as the noble and learned
lord anticipated. When Hyde-park was selected, it was
announced in all the public journals at home and abroad and
in the colonies, and yet no expression of public discontent
had bent raised. A letter had been received from Mr. Leslie
setting forth some objections to the selection of II de-park,
and suggesting Regent rook u a preferable site. That letter
was referred te Ma Building Committee, but It was found
like& some legal dlisralties existed which would prevent Re-
' nea'irpsik boa hang selected. Besides, a committee of
i 70 perms, who sepreseated the trade and manufactures of
the 'mislay, approval of the site selected by the commis-
sioner,. A. noble seek the son of the noble marquis near
him, suggested the disadvantage of Hyde-park, end offered
mother three miles trona London. That again was retorted
to the Building Committee, and they objected both to the
distance and to the nature of the ground so offered. In
April, two months after the site had ban announced, a
requisition woe sent to the rector of Chelsea, calling him to
convene a public meeting to approve of what the commie-I
simian had done. That requisition was aped by GOOs
and commoners of the parish, and amongst them he foun pies
end commonsrs of the parish, and amongst them hs bend
the name of the lion. William Carupbell, so that, up
to that time, his noble and learned friend behind
him had not laculeated on his son those constitutional
alarms to which he gave ar.pnesion that evening (Laughter.)
He admitted that matters had changed within the last two
weeks, and as moos as the royal commissioners became sails re
of the existence of that change, they were anxious to consult
on the subject, and to see if they could get out of the diffi-
culty, lest this feeling on the part of a portion of the public
(although they did aet think it founded in reason) should
prove injurious to the undertaking. Thai immediately re-
fined the subject to the Building Committee, which was
composed of three eminent engineers end three architects,
whose names were well known to their lordships, and they
reported that the effect of adopting another site now would
probably render it impossible to complete the balding
within the time specified, and that any change of its whith
would necessitate a change of plan would be tantamount to
a poettooneneat of the exhibition for another year. (Hear,
hear.) The sable and learned lord &eked for a com-
mittee to gadder the question, bat he believed that
the comenimiciaen were as capable of coning to
a right decision as an committee of that beim.
The nabs gad learned lord dwelt ea the inconvenience
