LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1850.

Seldom, if ever, has a Prime Minister occupied a
more enviable and honourable position than did Lord
JOHN RUSSELL when, last evening, in the House of
Commons, he suggested that a public funeral should
be awarded to Sir ROBERT PEEL. Although in
accordance with some expressed wishes of the late
Right Hon. Baronet that suggestion will not be car-
ried into effect, it will be a source of unspeakable
gratification to the whole community that such an
offer on the part of the Government and of the Crown
has been actually and voluntarily made. In follow-
ing out the dictates of his own heart, and in obeying
the wishes of her MAJESTY, Lord JOHN RUSSELL at
the same time, in his proposition of yesterday, only
gave voice to the anxious desires of the people. This
is a fact so obvious that it hardly requires to be again
mentioned, and yet it is too significant to be passed
over in silence. Thus, even: in the House of
Lords, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE could not
omit an allusion to that public expression
of sympathy which, as he so beautifully and truth-
fully observed, " unasked, unsolicited, unthought of,
emanating from all classes of society, has been at-
tending—l wish I could say cheering—the dying
moments of the public statesman." Few Ministers
have been so popularly beloved as Sir R,)BERT PEEL,
and few, if any, have by such painful sacrifices in the
popular behalf acquired such a right to the consola-
tions of popularity. Fickle as the multitude pro-
verbially are, the people (according to M. THIERS'
subtle distinction) have an almost instinctive appre-
ciation of their true friends, and they cherish an un-
dying love for their actual benefactors. Thus an
universal but evanescent admiration may be excited
by some brilliant and plausible oration, a large
majority may be summed up, or a powerful
faction organised by party measures and
Nlachievellian ingenuity ; but such triumphs are ne-
cessarily ephemeral, and we defy the most subtle
and sagacious of political charlatans to devise any
means of attracting to his death-bed the simple but
unmistakeable evidences of popularity such as have
so eloquently pronounced the most sublime of pane-
gyrics upon the statesmanship of Sir ROBERT PEEL.
As a popular Minister Sir ROBERT PEEL has been
lamented, and as such he cannot pass away unho-
noured by his contemporaries. The public generally
will regret that clear expression of his wishes which
will in this case frustrate the popular expectation.
Still the wishes of the dead are sacred ; and if Sir
ROBERT'S own family and friends believe that such a
kind of honour would have been repugnant to him,
then far be it from us, as it will be far from the wish
of any one, to infringe in any manner the sad sim-
plicity of that last scene. There are, happily, other
ways of testifying the national feelings, and we cannot
doubt that when the first shock occasioned by the
sudden bereavement has abated, some worthy
memorial will be erected by the people in token
of their lasting gratitude to Sir ROBERT
PEEL. Even now the thought of such an offering,
and its immediate preparation, will be a welcome so-
lace to many a sorrowful heart. True, we are aware,
alas ! that
" No storied urn or animated bust
Can back to its mansion call the fleeting breath;
Nor honour's voice provoke the silent dust,
Nor flattery soothe the dull cold ear of death;"
yet is it not a sweet and an almost irresistible impulse
with humanity to scatter the tokens of love and sor-
row over the graves of the unresponding dead ? Who
has wept for a friend and not so testified his grief ? Who
has loved and not desired to be so remembered ? As,
therefore, we would religiously encourage all such
evidences of family and friendly affection on the part
of individuals, so in the same way we should
be loath indeed to see a public man—
one who had devoted his energies to the
service of the people—pass away unremembered
by some evidence of popular regret. We need not
dwell upon the subject now, confident as we are that
it will be immediately and unanimously responded to.
One other reflection suggested by this—a theme so
fruitful in sad and useful suggestions—is not wholly
of a melancholy nature. It has been said that a cure
for ambition may be gained by wandering among
tombstones, and on such sad occasions as this late
lamented accident many truisms are uttered on the
vanity of human wishes, and the nothingness of power
and glory. Admitting the general truth of such remarks,
the sight of a grave or the news of a death, so far from
damping ambition and the desire of glory, may be and
should be regarded rather as an incentive than other-
wise to the desire for true distinction. While death,
the sudden death of the great and powerfu', too
surely exhibits the impotence of earthly might, does
not the near contemplation of a death-bed enforce
upon us the important sign i fidcaayns

the recent occupant of that couch of pain,
looking back, let u
ith consola-
tion
upon the eventss hole,
ole, his
momentous f
career. Can we, however, imagine that any
onyfn
aguish
con-ola-
tion which may have cheered those hours
arose from the remembrance of the high dignities
with which he had been invested, or of the wealth
which had continually surrounded him ? It was not
the fact that he had held office, and had possessed the
confidence of his SOVEREIGN, but the remembrance
that he had sought, and, as far as in him lay, had
effected the good of the people and the welfare of the
nation—not that he had governed, but that he had

governed well. It was this thought that must, if
any retrospection could, have cheered the dying
hours of Sir ROBERT PEEL. And, not to dwell
upon political matters only, the discriminating
and liberal patron of the artF, the ready and
sure benefactor of suffering merit, he whose
timely aid was gratefully chronicled in the diary of
HayDoN, and whose table, by a not common custom,
has been continually graced by the presence of
authors and artists, must have been enabled
to contemplate, not without satisfaction, the too-
often humiliating recollections of the past :

" For not around his honour'd urn
Shall friends alone and kindred mourn;
The thousand eyes his care had dried
Pour at his name a bitter tide,
And frequent falls the grateful dew
For benefits the world ne'er knee•."

Such assurances as these cannot but be full of con-
solation to those who sympathise in the sorrows of
the bereaved family at Whitehall-gardens, and they
only tend to strengthen our belief that death—sud-
den death—instead of depressing, should be an incen-
tive to the energies of humanity. True, pomp and
parade are out of place among the tombs, yet who
shall deny that death is not wholly without eory,
Ns hen life has been productive of good?

We heartily congratulate the shareholders in the
South -Eastern Railway Company on the result of
the prcceedings at the special general meeting held
yesterday. The object for which the proprietors had
been called together was, that authority might be
given to the directors to raise on mortgage any fur-
ther sum or sums of money, not exceeding in the
whole the sum of 1,000,0001. sterling, at such rate of
interest as they might deem expedient, under and by
virtue of the powers conferred by an Act passed dur-
ing the present session of Parliament. It had pre-
viously been ascertained that the above sum
would be sufficient to complete all the un-
finished works, to enable the company to
fulfil its engagements and to close its capital
account—a " consummation devoutly to be wished
for" by all persons interested in the welfare and
prosperity of the undertaking. It would, in fact, as
the Chairman justly remarked, place the large and
valuable property, in which they were concerned, on
"a permanent and lasting basis."
Although the South-Eastern Railway Company
has not been exempted from a participation in the de-
preciation that has attended every description of rail-
way property, there is every reason to anticipate that
it will also share in the " good times," which we hope
and believe to be coming. There has recently been
a great increase of traffic on the line. The judicious
arrangements that have been entered into
by the managers, for affording facilities to travellers
to or from the continent, have produced their natural
results. The weekly accounts show a considerable
addition to the average receipts, and fully warrant
the expectation that the dividend to be offered at the
next half-yearly meeting will be considered highly
satisfactory by the great body of the shareholders ;
and that there will be every prospect of a further
gradual improvement, until the concern may be re-
garded as returning a handsome remuneration for
the capital invested. We say, " the dividend to be
offered at the next half-yearly meeting," advisedly,
and with a full knowledge of the injunction that had
been obtained for preventing the declaration of any
dividend until the completion of certain portions of
their works. The statement of the Chairman, how-
ever, that before the next general half-yearly meet-
ing that difficulty would be completely removed,
must allay any apprehensions which might have been
entertained as to the inconvenience and annoyance
that would be occasioned by even a temporary stop-
page of the dividends, on which many persons are
dependent for the comforts and even the necessaries
of life.

Such an assurance was no doubt received with the
greatest pleasure by the great majority of the share-
holders. It had not, however, the effect of producing
the unanimity that is so much to be desired.
The private dissensions, the personal ani-
mosities which have been so painfully con-
spicuous in former transactions, and which have
tended "to mar the prosperity and depreciate the
common interests" of the company, were still percep-
tible. In place of co-operating to promote the welfare
and prosperity of the undertaking, in which all were
interested, some honourable gentlemen were willing
to injure their own property in order to gratify their
acrimonious feelings against the board of directors.
They would carry out their suicidal policy at any
cost and at any risk. The most bitter personalities
were consequently indulged in against the directors
generally, but more especially against the Chairman,
and an amendment was proposed expressive of a
want of confidence in the board. The admirable
temper and imperturbable calmness of Mr.
MACGREGOR, however, defeated the objects
of his assailants. He passed by the coarse
and unwarrantable aspersions that had been heaped
upon him in contemptuous silence. He had already
appeared before a committee of the shareholders ;
his entire conduct had been strictly investigated, and
after thaticlose and searching inquiry, and the full and
complete acquittal which followed that investigation,
he might well despise and disregard any repetiti )n of
the bygone accusations. If ever man could plead
autrefois acquit, Mr. MACGREGOR might have done
so. The report of the committee of investigation,
published in May, 1849, contains the following
passage, which must be conclusive on the question :
" Your committee cannot conclude this report without
special allusion to the Chairman of the company, who,
it must be admitted, has been, as it were, on his trial;
:hey have already shown the utter groundlessness of the
charges which have been alleged, or rather suggested,
affecting his integrity in the administration of the
finances of the company: they, moreover, feel bound to
state their conviction that, notwithstanding errors of
judgment and an undue assumption of individual respon-
sibility, his conduct has been honourable throughout, and
marked by a sincere, unflinching, and, excepting in his
character of a very large proprietor, a disinterested de-
votion to the interests of the South-Eastern Company."
When such a verdict as that above given had been
returned by a body of high-minded and honourable
gentlemen, we can scarcely understand how any
persons could be found with sufficient hardihood
and recklessness to repeat the former charges.
The decision of the shareholders, however, clearly
proved how futile were such attempts. The amend-
ments were successively rejected, and the original
resolution, empowering the directors to raise the ne-
cessary funds, ultimately carried by large and over-
whelming majorities, indeed, not more than four
or five hands were raised on behalf of the dis-
sentients.

Again, then, we congratulate the shareholders on
this auspicious result. They may be well assured
that there is nothing more dangerous to the common
welfare than an undue and unwarranted distrust of
those in whose hands the management of their pro-
perty is placed. It is as injurious as the blind and
unreasoning confidence that formerly existed. The
latter might perhaps encourage those placed
in authority to enter into undue and hazardous specu-
lations, the former would cripple their hands, para-
lyse their energies, and prevent them from doing
anything, however urgently required, that might
possibly expose them to censure personally. There is
but little prospect of the one error being now com-
mitted. The danger lies the other way, and care
must be tAken lest "in avoiding Scylla they may fall
into Charybdis." If direct charges can be preferred
capable of being substantiated or rebutted, let them
be fully and fairly investigated ; but let shareholders
regard as their worst enemies those who bring for
ward vague insinuations and general aspersions—who
resort to

"tho shrug, the burn, or ha!
These petty brands that calumny doth use "
awl who, for the gratification of their own walevo-
lent'and vindictive feelings, would damage their own
pr ‘speett as well as those of their brother share-
holders.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TIVO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at from 8,000 to 10,000 bales, of which 3 0(.0
American were taken for export and on speculation.
The market was firm, and prices were fully supported.—
In Railway Shares there was considerable improvement
in the quotations.
. .

The Corn Market is steady.
The markets for Colonial Produce have been tolerably
active this week, and prices have been steady for the
principal articles of consumption. Sugar, however, has
been somewhat in favour of buyers as regards the lower
descriptions. Cuff eis held firmly. In spices there have
ben fair transactions, and Cotton, Indigo, and similar
staples, have sold well.
The New Zealand Company is placed in a singular
and somewhat interesting position. After struggling
on through hardships, difficulties, and, doubtless, some
mismanagement, it is now discovered that the
advantai:,e of those who have embarked their
eacital therein wiq be best consulted by
resigning their charter into the hands of Government,
according to the Act of Parliament under authority of
' which they have received within the last three years
pecuniary advances. It is undeniable that the settlers
on the estates of the New Zealand Comf. any
have had much
,to complain of, and although
blame attaches to the Colonial-office, it is highly satis-
factory at least to know that if the company has not yet
received the compensation to which it considers
itself entitled, the settlers at Wellington, Nelson, and
()Lags, have, at public meetings, expressed themselves
contented with ti .e arrangements of 1847, and anxious
that the company should continue its operations. This.
aft r ail the ill-ha-ling that has prevailed, is disinteres:el
and c.smplimentary. The idea was entertained of
organising under high auspices a new asso-
ciation, arel, as may be presumed, with an
adequate capital, but this has been abandoned, and at
the meeting of proprietors held yesterday, a formal vote
was passed for the surrender of the charter. Active
operafons are thus at an end, after having been carried
ou for three years under the late agreement. We
gather from the last report of the directors
that the principles which have regulated their
measures have been "to exempt new settle-
ments from the sources of risk and uncertainty
which had proved so injurious to the old to fulfil
former engagements; to secure the satisfaction of pre-
vious colonists, as the best invitation to future; to ex-
tinguish foreign interference and competition ; to ac
quire and throw open lands for occupation ; to dis-
pose of these whenever opportunities offered, and
individuals were willing to purchase ; but with
out waiting for such purchases, to keep up a
regular communication with each settlement, and
pour in a continuous stream of money and of labour,
se far as the means at our command permitted; and
when necessary for setting on foot a great and important
enterprise, to venture even so far to rely on the public
spirit of our constituents as to pledge (conditionally) a
yet further portion of their imperfectly remunerate::
capital; to remove every known occasion of dissatis-
faction or of danger, to smooth every difficulty, to in-
crease every facility, and to improve every detail in
every separate process of the work of colonisation.
It will be seen that the land sold to private
individuals since April, 1847, has amounted to 13,582
acres, and the sum received for the same 27,9741., or on
an average to about 4,525 acres, and 9,3251. yearly.
This is exclusive of the quantity sold by the Canterbury
Association. The passengers conveyed to the colony
during the same period, in eighteen ships chartered by
the company, and three dispatched under its supervision,
of the aggregate burthen of 12,541 tons, have
been 2,485. Exclusive of 25,0001. invested in
Government securities, and 8.6211. cash advances
to the Canterbury Association, the payments
during the three years commencing on the 6th April,
1847, have been 203,3911.; and out of this sum, deben-
tures and other liabilities incurred prior to that dat
amounted to 68,2151., leaving a balance of 135,175/
The aggregate of the three periods is 270,073 acres dis
posed of, exclusive of sales in Canterbury and additional
grants to original land purchasers; ships chartered by
the company 76, and 19 dispatched under its supervision.
making together 93 vessels, of the burthen of 46,578
tons; passengers conveyed, 11,6E0."
The directors further state that throughout the
southern settlements despondency has passed away, and
that all is again promising.
Sydney accounts of March 16 have come to hand.
In the absence of arrivals from California the sales of
merchandise for that market had declined, but a fair
general business was doing.
Advices of March 13 from Van Diemen's Land state
that the emigration debt was about to be increased by
the issue of debentures, and it was feared without com-
pensating results.
From Port Philip, under date the 12th inst., the har-
vest is reported as very good in quality, but deficient in
quantity.
The Stock Nizrket has been exceedingly buoyant
again, and the quotations are all higher. There is an
absence of foreign news of inter-sr, and the excellence of
the national trade returns, with the revenue ac-
counts to be made up this evening, and ex-
pectsd to be equally encouraging, add to the
influence of the abundance of money. Consols
have risen to 961 and 97; the New Three-and-a Quar-

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE.-(FRIDAY.

Since Monday, the arrivals of Eogfish Wheat for our
market, coastwise as well as by land carriage, have been
on a very limited scale. To-day, very few samples of
either red or white were on offer ; while the demand
ruled at, ady, at fully last we, k's quotations. From
abroad, upwards of 10,00 qoarttrs of Wheat have come
fresh to hand, in very middling condition. Selected
parcels were scarce, and quite as dear, but all other
kinds met a very slow inquiry, at late rates. The sup-
ply of foreign Barley was large, hence, the demand for
that article was very inactive, and prices were with dif
ficulty supported. Malt—the supply of which was
limited—sold steadily, at very full prices. The show of
Oat samples was not large, yet the trade ruled heavy,
and late figures were with difficulty supported. Indian
Corn was offering on lower terms. The Flour sold
freely. In all other articles next to nothing was doing.

Our market to-dey was very moderately supplied
with Beasts as to number, while their general quality
was inferior. The few prime Scots oa offer were dis-
posed of at Monday's prices, viz., from 3s 6d to 3s 8d
per 81bs, In all other kinds exceedingly little business
was transacted. The supply of Sheep was not so ex-
tensive as that exhibited on this day se'nuight, never-
theless the demand for that description of stack ruled
inactive; but we have no change to notice in the cur-
rencies. Notwithstanding that the number of Lambs
was seasonably large, the trade ruled firm, at very full
prices. Calves were in good supply, and sluggish inquiry,
at late rates. Ti:e sale fur Pigs was heavy. ',ditch
Cows were selling at from 14/ to 18/ each, including their
small calf.
