THE DEATH
OF
SIR ROBERT PEEL.

The anxiety exhibited to learn the contents of the
last bulletin, which appeared in psterday's Ezpresr,
was so great, that when the servant was seen
leaving the mansion with it a perfect rush of the
crowd to the gates took place, and the policeman in
attendance was compelled to read it aloud for the in-
formation of the parties present.
During tbs afternoon, the crowd increseed so much,
that additional officers were sent to preserve order,
and a copy of the bulletin was furnished to a consta-
ble stationed at the entrance of Whitehall-gardens, in
order to enable him to answer inquiries in Whitehall,
and thus lessen the pressure of the crowd near the
=rain. _ _ _

The Earl and Ciente.' of Jersey, the Dean of Wor-
cester, Col. Peel, M.P., Lady Foyer, the Dowager
Lady Henley, and other nr.mbera of the family, call.d
several times during the thy. None but the nearest
relatives entend the mansion, all others contenting
themselves with making inquiries at the ga:es. The
grief exhibited by all at the answers conveyed to
them told too plainly what small hopes were enter-
tained by the medical attendants. The Countess of
Jersey and Lady Clementina Villiers were deeply
affected at the intelligence conveyed to them at 6
o'clock by Col. Peel.
At half-put 6 o'clock the following bulletin was
i.sued : . .

Sir Robert Peel is much exhausted ; and altogether not
so well as he elas co the early part of the day.—July 2,

1830, half paste p.m. .
After this time instructions were given to admit no
person within the gates except the Bishop of
Gibraltar, that reverend prelate having been sent for
shortly previous by Sir Robert's desire.
The Bishop of Gibraltar arrived shortly before
eight o'clock, and was admitted to the presence of
the right hon. baronet with whom he remained for
nearly en hour. Sir Robert at this time became
very much worse, and all the members of his
family were introduced to take a last leave of their re-
vered parent. We believe that Lady Peel was reduced
to well a state of mind from excessive grief and
watching that it was not thought advisable to ac-
quaint her ladyship with the approaching dissolution
of her husband lest the shock might prove greater
than she could bear.
Viscount Hardinge had arrived in Whitehall-
gardens some time before, and joined Lord Vil-
liers at d Mr. Dawson and all the other members
of the family at the bedside of his afflicted friend.
Sir James Graham, the constant political and private
friend of Sir Robert, had been sent for, and was also
admitted to an interview with the right hon. baronet,
who, with the exception of occasional wanderings, re-
tained his sensibility until within a very short period
of his death.

At nine minutes after eleven o'clock, Sir Robert
Peel breathed his last, in the presence of nearly all
the members of his family, of whom he had taken
an afftctionate leave only a short time previonaly.
Intelligence of the melancholy event was immedi-
ately forwarded to Buckingham Palace, and by elec-
tric telegraph to several family connexions of the
right honourable baronet resident in the country.
Sir Itibert Peel expired in the dining•room of his
mansion, from which apartment be has not been re-
moved since his arrival at home after the accident.

The career of the statesman whose death we this
day record affords another instance of a man spring-
ing from the ranks of the people to occupy the high-
est 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 foundation of our present enormous and
important cotton manufacture; and who, whilst esta-
blishing 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
Lancashire, in partnership with a Mr. Yates, whose
daughter he afterwards married. In fourteen
years—so rapidly wee money made by cotton
spinning in those days—he had amused enough to
purchase a large landed estate in Yorkshire, to which
he subsequently added others in Staffordshire and
Warwickshire. At Tamworth, then falling into de-
cay, he set up an extensive factory, and, by
restoring its business activity, and giving
employment to its inhabitants, gained political
influence, which afterwards secured him the
seat for that borough —a seat subsequently
Il=on by his eon. When the first Fnch
• re
broke out, Mr. Peel, the father, was
Wild to regard the principles of its pro-
NAN§ with favour, but the excesses and hoe-
, von that subsequently set in turned his opinions,
and he steadily supported Mr. Pitt durirg the war—
so steadily, indeed, that when, in 1797, voluntary
contributions were asked towards the support of the
expense of the campaign, he and his partner gave no
less than 10,0001. in one sum. He had, it is said, at
that time in his employment, and relying on the wages
he paid, no less than 15,000 persona, towards whom ho
exercised a benevolent regard, limiting the hours of
labour of the young, and providing the means of edu-
cation for such as were willing to avail them-
selves of such advantages. When invasion of the
country wee spoken of Mr. Peel contributed towards the
formation and support of the Lancashire fencibles,
and he raised,chiedly from among his own workmen,six
oompanies of volunteers—the Bury Loyal Volunteers
—of whom he was the lieutenant.oolonel. Bach
patriotic serv:oes, added to the consideration of his
great wealth, gained for him in 1801 a baronetcy.
In parliament he often spoke upon questions of trade
and manufactures; he advocated the union with Ire-
land, and hsd strong opinions on the curreno_y—
opinions, it may bo remarked, opposed to those after-
wards put forward and carried into effect by his
SOIL
