IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT
(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The House resumed at Half-past Four o'cicck, some
time before which there was an unusually large attend-
ance of Members for that early hour, who were doubt-
less attracted by the intimation that fell from Sir G. Grey
at the morning sitting that the First Lord of the Trea-
sury would this evening make a statement with reference
to the great bsreavement the nation has suffered in the
lamentable demise of Sir Robert Peel. By half-past four
the body of the House was nearly filled with Members,
as were also the side galleries.
The strangers' gallery was likewise crowded to ex-
cess. The benches below the bar assigned for the re-
ception of Members of the House of Lords and distin-
guished visitors were occupied; whilst the Speaker's
gallery was more than ordinarily filled.
The first quarter of an hour or twenty minutes was
taken up with the preliminary business of presenting
petitions, and giving notices of motion.

DEATH OF SIR ROBERT PEEL.
Lord J. RUSSELL rose at five minutes before five
o'clock, and, after bringing up the report of the Com-
missioners respecting the Exhibition of 1851, said—Sir,
in moving that these papers be laid on the table, I
will ask the House to allow me to take this oppor-
tunity of mingling my voice of sorrow with that of
the House in general at the great loss which this House
has sustained. Sir, at the first contemplation of this
misfortune it is impossible not to be overcome by
feelings of awe that one who so late as Friday
night last inform-d the House by his judgment
on one of the most important discussions of the year.
should have already psts.‘ed away from us, and that not
by disease overcoming nature, but by one of those Com-
raon accidents to which we are all liable. Sir,
in speaking of that great man it is impossible
not to lament that hereafter this House
will
be no longer guided by that long and large
experience of public affairs, by that profound knowledge,
by those rhtorical powers, by that copious yet exact
memory, with which this House aas wont to be en-
lightened, instructed, and guided.—(Cheerv.) It is not
for me or for this linear, to speak of the career of Sir
PPS. • t•
tsconert lqel. It never happened to me to be in
c. -77-1-ratio-at finnexion with him, but so late as that last de-
to'whi2th I have referred, I took occasion to thank
• ~711-Z4sr theit‘fair and frank support which he had given
c:•"' ,il;oteeeipt Government. --(Hear.) Sir Robert Peel,
