LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 15, 1835.

Though the uncompromising political opponents of
the present politics of Sir RonEnT PEEL, we aro very
happy to have it in our power to congratulate the seve-
ral Railway Companies, and the country generally, on
a speech delivered by the Riffht Hon. Baronet at a
public meeting of the inhabitants of Tamworth, on the
Bth instant-, for deciding upon the practicability and
advantages of a junction Railway between Derby and
Birmingham. Of this speech we give a condensed re-
port in our notice of the Meeting ; and only those who
are intimately acquainted with the routine of Parlia-
mentary business—who are aware how much may be
done by tact, discrimination, and an acquaintance with
the minutest forms of the House of Commons, al-
most in despite of the 1101130, itself—can estimate
the importance of such a Parliamentary accession

as Sir ROBERT PEEL. No Member of the
present Parliament knows better than does the Right
Hon. Baronet, the precise moment for pressing any
question upon,the notice of the House ; none knows
better how to manage a committee ; and none can ex-
patiate with more fluency and greater effect upon those
minute details, which are essential to the comprehen-
sion of the objects of local bills.
But independent of all this, the speech of the Right
Hon. Baronet at Tam worth is full of enlarged and
Statesman-like views—all obvious enough it is true;

but yet such as we were not prepared to expect from
such a quarter. In the course of his speech Sir RO-
BERT observed—
" I do not hesitate to avow myself favourable to the
principle of communication by railways, and on all occa-
sions I shall give my cordial support to such undertakings,
provided I am satisfied they will succeed as speculations,
and prove a profitable investment of capital to their pro-
jectors. It is no reflection on the parties who have ori-
ginated the undertaking, that their main or primary ob-
ject is their own individual profit, for it is only by indi-
vidual gain that the general interest is advanced. I am,
gentlemen, favourable to such undertakings, because I
believe that our commercial interests are best promoted
by a rapid communication, which will, as it were, bring
together remote" parts of the empire, and unite all our
great commercial towns and agricultural districts. It is
absolutely essential, in order to maintain our commercial
superiority over the rest of the world, that the most fa-
vourable means of transit through the country should be
adopted ; for we are now in a perfectly different posi-
. tion from that in which we were • during the late war.
During the war which ravaged Europe from 1793 to 1815,
we had a monopoly, not only of the trade and commerce
of Europe, but of nearly the ',thole of the globe. Peace
happily succeeded, and has since prevailed, and other coun-
tries are now, and has been for some years past, directing
their energies to the improvement and cultivation of their
manufactures and internal resources ; in fact, so rapid has
been their progress, that they now compete with us in
nearly every branch of manufacturing industry and com-
mercial enterprise ; and it is my opinion that it will be im-
possible to maintain our superiority, and struggle success-
fully against this powerful competition, unless we exert all
our energies to bring into operation every improvement
which skill and intelligence can devise. We must not,
Gentlemen, close our eyes to the fact that railways are now
being established on the Continent, and that they exist to
a great extent in the United States of America. Nor can
we, by any means, prevent our artisans and our capital
from leaving the country, nor our machinery from being
exported, if there should appear elsewhere a fairer prospect
of profitable employment. I think, therefore, that we aro
bound to encourage these undertakings in every part of
England, whenever we have rational grounds for believing
they will succeed. I cannot doubt it is for the generul in-
terest of the country that they should be established."
-,This is certainly a sound, comprehensive, and states-
manlike view of the whole question ; and it appears to
us: quite impossible to reflect calmly upon it for an
instant, without being satisfied that the establishment
