Tamworth has recently been the scene of one of
those disgraceful incidents which, happily for the
credit of humanity, occur but seldom. At a very
limited distance from the grave of the illustrious
statesman whose ashes are now reposing under the
village church of Drayton Bassett,, within a mere
stone's throw of the house consecrated to his memory
by so many noble associations, in the very town-hall
where the eloquent tones of his rhetoric have scarcely
ceased from vibrating, Sir ROBERT PEEL was
vilified by that miserable gang of Protectionists
who helped to swell, under his leadership, the
once respectable ranks of Conservatism. Against
a violation so peculiarly flagrant not only of the
common decencies of society, but even of the awe• in-
spiring sanctity of the tomb, the voice of the public at
large could not fail to be raised in the most solemn
and emphatic language of indignation. But for this
instantaneous repudiation of the sentiments expressed
by these slanderers of departed greatness, we should
have been disposed to believe that the age of honour
had passed away, just as BURRE regarded the age of
chivalry as extinct because no sword leaped from
its scabbard in defence of MARIE ANTOINETTE.
Surprise has been expressed by some at the violence
displayed upon the late disgraceful occasion down at
Tamworth, when the populace vented their fury by
an outbreak of a rather serious description. Those,
however, who bear in remembrance the peculiar na-
ture of the feelings with which the name of the late
Prime Minister of England is cherished by his
former tenantry, cannot view the warmth of their
enthusiasm in its regard with anything like astonish-
ment. Endeared to them by so many recollections,
the friends and neighbours of a man so distinguished
could not listen with equanimity to the abuse so in-
decorously directed against the reputation of Sir
ROBERT by his former allies and supporters. No
wonder, therefore, that in the first glow of their dis-
gust they were surprised into a display of emotions
which subsequent reflection might not unreasonably
induce them to regret. Hurried away by the irre-
sistible force of •; their indignation, the people of
Tamworth forgot the example of the great
administrator whose name they were soli-
citous to defend from insult, and who,
under the irritation of the , grossest obloquy
and of the most despicable vituperation, preserved on
all occasions an air of serene and imperturbable self-
possession. Had he himself survived to witness the
recent disturbance which has attracted general at-
tention towards Tamworth, he would infallibly have
been the first to protest against it as an act less
indicative of regard for himself than of disloyalty to
the Constitution.
Nevertheless, while we regret the impulse which
so far mastered the judgment of the rioters as to
induce them for once to set at defiance all
the regulations of law and of order, we cannot
but admire the elevating sentiments of indigination in
which this very fault may be said to have originated.
Neither can we do otherwise than exult in the reflec-
tion that the vituperators of the deceased statesman
experienced the strength of that wrath which their
indecent ribaldries against his name evoked from the
mass of his former tenantry. Surely, as has been

observed already, surely, surely there Was room

enough in the United Kingdom to admit of
some less inappropriate spot being selected
for the display of these execrable passions
than the very localiPy inhabited by the per.
sonal admirers of Sir ROBERT, and rendered sacred
by being the last resting place of his remains. The
circumstance of those sticklers for Protection having
deliberately assembled together in the Town-hall of
Tamworth for the express purpose of pouring out the
vials of their hatred and calumny under the shadow
of the very roof-tree where their quondam master had
lived, and almost within view of the revered place of
his sepulture, evidences on their part a callousness to
all the nobler and gentler faculties which dignify
humanity, such as transforms them at once into
objects of national disgust and abhorrence.
Nothing, we are satisfied, could be so distasteful
to the more respectable portion of the Protectionists
than the tone latterly adopted by the more disreput-
able members of the same party, especially moreover
in reference to the very subject here referred to,
namely, the late Sir Ronan PEEL'S brilliant
and glorious reputation. To a gallant and

chivalric temperament like that of Lord STAN.
LET, the language employed by such men

as Mr. G. F. YOUNG must necessarily prove
in the very highest degree offensive. To a

conscientious believer in the utility of the Corn-laws,

like Sir EDWARD BULWER LYTTON, the brutalities

and the Billingsgate by which his arguments are

backed by the ruck of the agriculturists, must prove
in like manner equally distasteful and worthy ofabomi-

nation. Earnestly should we rejoice to witness some

effort made by men of this class and character to yin.

dicate the cause they are solicitous to forward from
associations with nny such detestable proceedings.
Some protest of the nature intimated is almost im-

peralvely demanded from the leaders of the unruly
band of Protectionists.

early 1 neighbourhoods cf Finsbury and Barbican presented an ani-
mated scene. The gentlemen composing the corps were to be
s-.en, in full dress, making towards their field, and by the
YTtihßeliir i,

1 hour of ten nearly the whole corps had assembled on the
ground. Shortly afterwards Lieut.-Colonel Fitzroy, attended
by other officers, entered the ground, when the national anthem
was performed by the baud of the compan The cos the

formed several favouriLe airs.
ROYAL -VISIT TO THE CHINESE Jurix.—Her
tended by Lieutenant-Colonel Seymour, visited the Chinese
Royal Highness the "'chess of Saxe Coburg Gotha, at-
ju ik yesterday. Her Royal Highness devoted more than
„nI, h to a close inspection of this most singular specimen
- hour of naval architecture, and departed highly amused by the ex-
Chinese vessel which ever reached the '
f this the firstl
crew o
ex-
traordinary evolutions, performed in her presence by the
shores of Europe.

!tern of tactics they have heretofore adopted. They
might perceive that they had already gone to the
utmost extent of their tether, that they could no
longer wage a guerilla warfare with impunity. The
orders and regulations under colour whereof they
had pursued a system of tactics in every respect so
injudicious and unwarrantable would have been
modified, and they would have forfeited the valuable
privileges which they had deliberately abused and
perverted from their original purposes.
Warned, however, by what has already taken place
and the reckless contempt of public opinion hereto-
fore exhibited by the " Brigade," we shall not indulge
in any premature anticipations as to the course they
may yet adopt in reference to the measure. We re-
gret to find that many men of unquestionable ability
have lent themselves to carry out a system of
which, under other and possibly less exciting
circumstances, they could not possibly approve, and
with which they would be ashamed to identify
themselves. They have, for the time being,
allowed their passion to master their judgment,
and to induce them to act in a manner that
might be expected from foolish boys or
seiui•lunatics rather than from persons of practical
experience and common sense. There was some
danger that Parliament and the country, exasperated
by the defiance hurled at them by a small minority,
might proceed to extremities that would afterwards

be deeply regretted, and of which our Roman Ca-
tholic brethren might have just cause of complaint.
We rejoice to find, however, that Lord Jour; RUSSELL
has in this respect acted in a manner becoming his
ancient reputation—that he has not suffered him-
self to be influenced by the taunts and reproaches
heaped upon his devoted head by those who should
not so easily have forgotten the services be bad pre-
viously rendered to the cause of universal toleration.
He has refused to agree to any of the more
stringent enactments which have been suggested,
or to do anything not imperatively demanded
by the nature of the emergency. This temperate,
judicious, and statesmanlike conduct will no doubt
eventually, and when the temporary excitement has
passed away, be duly appreciated by those who
at this moment are among his warmest op-
ponents, and they will candidly acknowledge
that the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill, which
consumed so great a portion of the public time
during the session of 1851, was not a reactionary
enactment, restricting the enjoyment of the full and
unrestrained religious liberty that is the birthright of
every British subject, but a necessary vindication of
our national independence, that would have been
willingly sanctioned by our ancestors in the days of
Catholic England.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Pdris journals of yesterday.
The recent conflict with the Kahyles has been
much more fatal to the French army than the official
accounts had led us to believe. According to the
National the French bad 306 killed and 1,331
wounded. Two companies of the 10th were, with
the exception of 20 men, entirely cut to pieces by the
Arabs.

The Bonapartists are making desperate efforts to
get up petitions far the revision of the Constitution,
and in the country districts the priests are the agents
employed for this purpose.
The Bourse was animated, and prices improved. The
Five per Ceuts. opened at 90f. 700., and closed at 90E
95c., being a rise of 55c. as compared with the closing
price of Wednesday. The Three per Cents. closed at
56f. 15c.; Orleans Railroad Shares, 822 f. 50c.; Rouen,
613 f. 75e.; Havre, 240 f.; Great Northern, 473 f. 75c.;

The New Prussian Gazette states that M. DE
MANTEOFFEL arrived in Berlin from Warsaw on the
27th, at five in the morning, and proceeded at noon
to Potsdam, to wait on the QUEEN. M. DE MAN-
TEUFFEL was received at Warsaw with great distinc-
tion by the Emperor of RUSSIA, who presented to him
the insignia of the order of Alexander Newski of the
first class. Tile same journal contradicts, from au-
thority, the intelligence that two corps d'armee were
to be immediately mobilized.
The Wanderer of Vienna, of May 26, states that
Count DE SANDOR, son-in-law of Prince DE MET.
TERNICR, has just died in a mad-house at Prague.
