SIR R. PEEL.

Mr. Cobden presents his compliments to the Editor
of the Times, and will feel obliged by the publication
of the inclosed letter.
" Monday morning.
" 103, Westbourne•terrace, July 6.

" Sir,—l have received your letter, requesting me te
allow my name to be used as one of the patrons of at
association for raising, by ld. subscription, a poor
man's national monument to the memory of the late Sir
Robert Peel.' It will be to me a melancholy satiate-
don to be associated in so appropriate a mode of express
ing the almost universal feeling of sorrow at the loss of
a great public benefactor.
" The illustrious statesman who has been taken from
us with such awful suddenness sacrificed every other
.rhject of ambition to secure to the firesides and work-
shops of the toiling multitudes of this country the bless-
ings of increased prosperity, health, and happiness. Ht
knew the immediate penalty he would have to pay for
,he service he was rendering the ration, but he relies
with prophetic faith upon the ftiture Verdict of thu
people. In the moment of his severest trial, when deli-
vering the speech which cloned his official career
ater speaking of the ties of party which he had
severed for ever, of the political friendships he had con-
verted into bitter enmities, of the floodgates of calumny
he had let loose upon himself—after recounting mourn
fully but without repining, the sacrifices he had made, ht
turned for sympathy and justice to the mass of tbt
people and closed his last speech as Dlinister with tht
following words:—
" It may be that I shall leave a'name sometimes re-
membered with the expressions of goodwill in the abode
of those whose lot it is to labour and to earn their daily
bread by the sweat of their brow, when they shall re-
cruit their exhausted strength with abundant and untaxed
food, the sweeter because it is no longer leavened by s
sense of injustice.'
" Thus, in tho work you have undertaken, you are,
perhaps, unconsciously realising the aspirations of thi
departed statesman. In piling up the pence of the work
pyramid to his memory, let me suggest
passage be inscribed upon its base. Ii
that el a
at
will prove that he did not over-estimate the justice or
the ss eas
bionyteo ap
gratitude of his countrymen, and it will also show tt
iuture statesmen that there is security, with the people.
for the fame of a Minister who braves the vengeance o'
particular interests whilst conferring benefits upon the
nation.
"I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

" RICHARD COBDEN.
" To Mr. John Dames."

FREEZING, MAKING AERATED WATERS, &C.—THE
PRACTICAL VIEWS OF THE SEPAULESE MISSION. —The
members of the Mission have lately been very active in their
investigations of the various manufactures of the metropolis.
One of the objects of the Mission is evidently to introduce
some of the most useful contrivances of British ingenuity to
their countrymen, as is instanced in the fact of their having
made frequent visits recently to the establishment of Mr.
Masters, adjoining the Royal Polytechnic Institution. The
Prince's object in thus honouring this establishment has been
to make himself thoroughly acquainted with the construction
and mole of using Mr. Masters inventions for producing ice
by artificial means during the hot season, and in India. To
perfectly satisfy himself that these apparatuses can be relied
on for producing the ice under all circumstances, the Prince
has had a complete set of them at his own residence for
several days, where he has caused various experiments to be
made with them under his own personal directions, in the
presence of the other members of the embassy, who were
much delighted with the cylinders of pure ice produced by ,
the machine, the modes operandi of which they seemed to
rea,tily comprehend. The Prince also evinced much prac-
'tical acumen in adjusting the large machine ready for action.
The success which attended these experiments has caused
the embassy to purchase twenty-two apparatuses, each being
adapted for a special purpose, such as producing solid blocks
of ice, ice creams, icing wines, butter, ecL ; producing soda
water, and aerated beverages, &c.
