IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock,
when there was an unusually full attendance for a
Wednesday sitting.
DEATII OF SIR ROBERT PEEL.

Mr. HUME, before any business was gone into,
rose amidst profound silence, and in tremulous accents
said—lhope, Sir, in addressing the House at this mo-
ment, I may be excused for doing so, because I am
anxious to express the deep regret which I, and I am
sure every Member of this House feels at the
loss the country has sustained by the death of
Sir Robert Peel.—(Hear, hear.) When I look
back at the conduct and career of that Right
Honourable Gentleman, more particularly of late
years, when events of immense importance were
brought about owing to the part which he took in
public affairs, and when I remember that he was the
man who sacrificed power, office, and everything for
an act which he believed the imperial interests of his
country demanded, I feel that it is needless for me to
say anything more than to express a hope that, if
the House concurs with me in these senti-
ments of deep regret, they will readily adopt
that which is the best means of showing our
respect for the departed and late Member, and at
once agree to a motion for adjournment, and allow no
business to be proceeded with to-day.--(Cheers.) It
is impossible to state my feelings at this moment—
I have not power to express them—(Elear, hear)—
but I feel so strongly the public loss which the death
of the Right Hon. Baronet has occasioned that I have
only to move, and humbly to submit to the House,
the propriety of concurring in a unanimous resolution
for adjourning the business of to-day out of respect
to him whom I have already named ; and when I
contemplate the many sacrifices he made in his life-
time for the public good, and the feeling of interest
manifested in this metropolis at his lamented de-
cease, which I am sure will extend itself throughout
the whole country, I may be excused for making this
motion, even though it should be contrary to prece-
dent.—(Cheers.) I am not aware that any precedent
does exist, such an event happily but seldom
occurs, nor is it likely to occur again, at least not in
my time, and I therefore hope the House will concur
in this motion, out of respect to the Right Hon.
Gentleman whose melancholy death has just oc-
curred.—(Cheers.)
_ _ .

Mi. GLADSTONE, who was affected to tears,
said —Sir, as the Honourable Gentleman, from
motives which, I am sure, all can appreciate,
has Submitted this motion to the House, and as
I see no other person present who has ever
been connected by office with the late lamented gen-
tlemen, whose loss we all so deeply deplore, I may,
perhaps, be allowed to second the motion which has
just been made.—(Hear, hear.) lam quite sure that
it will be a source of much regret to the Noble Lord at
the head of the Government that this subject has been
introduced a few moments earlier than might have been
expected, because it will deprive him of the satisfaction
of bearing his part in this the earliest but not the

last tribute of respect to be paid to one whom I may
now name the late Sir Robert Peel.—(Cheers.) Sir,
the subject introduced by the Honourable Gentle-
man—he will forgive me for saying so—is one that
will not at this moment bear discussion.—(Hear,
hear.) I am quite sure every heart is too much full
to allow us to proceed at this early period to enter
upcn the consideration of the extent of the calamity
with which the country has been visited, in the sad
and premature end of my late Right Hon. Friend.—
(Hear.) For, although he died full ofyears and full of
honours, yet his death is one which human eyes will
regard as premature, because we had fondly hoped
that in whatever position he might be placed, by the
weight of his ability, by the splendour of his talents,
or by the purity of his virtues, he might still have
been spared to render us most essential services.
Sir, as it is, I will only quote those most feeling and
touching words which were applied by one of Eng-
land's splendid poets to a man not less great even
than Sir Robert Peel—(Hear, hear)—
"Now is the stately column broke,
The beacon light is quenched in smoke,
The trumpet's silver sound is still,
The warder silent on the hill."
I will say nothing more perhaps I have
said too much already. I ought, perhaps,
to have confined myself to simply seconding the mo-
tion of the Honourable Gentleman the Member for
Montrose, but I was in hopes that by protracting the
occasion for a few moments others might perhaps
have entered the House who would have been worthy
to take part in this brief discussion.—(Hear, hear.)
That has not been so, but however, I am quite
sure the tribute of respect which we now
offer will be rendered the more gratifying—the more
valuable by the silence which has prevailed on this
occasion.—(Cheers.)
The motion having been put,
Mr. NAPIER, who spoke in a solemn low tone of
voice, and was scarcely audible, said, as he stood in
the position of one of those gentlemen who had
motions on the paper, the House would no
doubt permit him to say a few words. He was
as willing as any man could be to withdraw his no-
tice and testify the unfeigned regret which he felt at
the loss they had all sustained in the' death of Sir
Robert Peel.—(Hear, hear.) That painful event
afforded another proof that the life of the wisest and
strongest amongst us was but a wavering flame.
He most willingly concurred in paying the tribute
asked by the Hon. Member for Montrose to de-
parted worth, and would postpone all the business he
had on the paper.—(Hear, hear.)
Sir R.H. INGLIS, who appeared almost overcome
by deep feelings of emotion, said—Perhaps, Sir, my
Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Gladstone) was right when
he suggested that silence is more eloquent than
' words on the occasion of such a loss as that which
this country, and I may say the whole European
community, has sustained in the death of Sir Robert
Peel.—(Cheers.) At the same time, as the silence
which followed my Right Hon. Friend's address has
been broken with equal feeling and truthfulness by
the Hon. Gentleman the Member for the University
of Dublin, perhaps I may be permitted to bear my
humble and hearty testimony to the character of
the friend whom we have now lost.—(Hear, hear.)
I trust that his memory may be brought to our
hearts and to our minds without the least reference
to those questions of politics which have unhappily
divided uQ, and to which some partial allusion was
made in the introductory address of my Hon. Friend
sear me. It is not necessary, lam sure, to call on
this House to forbear at such a period from making

reference to any topic which might disturb the una-

nimity of feeling or sentiment which I trust—

oky, am confident pervades not only thi,
House, but the whole country.—(Hear, and cheers.),
It is with cordial feelings and cordial respect that I
as one who has sat in this House for some time, rise
to bear my humble testimony to what has been

already said, and to state that I believe there never

I was a man who made greater sacrifices fur the public
: good arm Sir Rob,:rt Peel.—(Cheer.,.) P,) vs or he
sacrificed willingly, and I believe he would have
sacrificed everything except that which he regArded
as thu permanent interests of tilt, country, and these
who might, differ from him in his views will, I am
sure on this oc,liiion, unite in one cordial feel-
ing of resp ct (Cheers)—l may say grateful
respect— for the memory of a man who really did
more to distinguish this House among the deliberative
bodies of the world than perhaps any other individual
who has sat in it.—(Cheers.) Sir, I cordially
concur in the proposition which has been addressed
with so much feeling to, and received with so much
feeling by, this House, that out of respect for the
memory of Sir Robert Peel we should proceed no
further with the business of the day.—(Hear.)
Sir WM. SOMERVILLE then rose, and after a
slight pause, addressed the House, but he spoke in so
low a tone, and his utterance was so indistinct
owing, no doubt, to the melancholy death of the
Right Hon. Baronet, that it was only with great
difficulty we were enabled to collect a full report of his
speech. He said—No notice has been given of an
intention to move the adjournment of the House at
this hour, and as it accidentally happens that no other
Minister of the Cabinet is now present, probably I
may perhaps be permitted to say that if there had
been some one of greater importance in this House
than myself would have risen to express his deep
feeling of regret at the loss which the country has
sustained in the death of that eminent statesman, whose
loss we now so deeply deplore.—(Hear.) I will say
no more on this occasion. It would hardly become so
humble a member., as myself to do more than parti-
cipate in the general feeling of this House and
the i üblic ; but; I am quite sure that if the
Noble Lord at the head of the Government
had been in his place—and his absence, you may be
assured, is to be attributed to the fact that he did not
think this motion would come on so early—that if he
had been in his place, he would have paid a high
tribute of respect to the Right Honourable
Baronet, and, with the deepest feelings of
sympathy and regard, given his entire con-
currence in the motion of the Honourable
Gentleman, that out of respect to the great statesman.
who has just passed from among us this House
should not proceed with any further business.
The SPEAKER then put the motion for the ad-
journment, but was. interrupted by
Sir W. SOMERVILLE, who ;said, he had just
been informed that Lord J. Russell happened to be
out of town.

The motion having been again put, and agreed to
nernine contradicent e, the House immediately adjourned.

:PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
In this court it wits expected that the case of Cattley
v. Bone, an action for seduction, which occupied the
Court part of yestet day, weuld be proceeded with to-
day ; but owing to the Lord Chief Justice being unable
to attend, it was postponed until to-morrow.

SECONDA RIES'.—(THIS DAY.) •
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER )
HARR IS V. NEWSA DI, CLERK.
NON-LIABILITY OF A HUSBAND FOR HIS WIFE'S
DEBTS AFTER SHII VOLUNTARILY LEFT HER HOME.--
rilis was an action brought by the plaintiff, a linendraper,
&c., in the City, agiaimt the defendant, who is a clergy-
man, in Cambridges.hire, to recover the sum of N. 183,
for goods sold and delivered to defendant's wife.
Mr. CROUCH appinared on !Anal of the defendant, and
called evidence to a!now that the goods had been" ordered
by Mrs. Newsam, 'who, however, was not at the time
living with her has band, and had an income of 50/. per
aonui from an aura.

Tor the defendat tit was contended that he was only
a poor country cure te, and that the articles supplied were
not necessaries, and that without the slightest imputa-
tion on the lady's tharacter, her extravagance had in-
duced a separation, voluntary on her part, and. therefore
as she had the meat is of maintaining herself her husband
was not liable.
The Learned SB CONDARY left it to the jury to sal
whether the plain tiff knew that Mrs. Newsam wise
living apart from h er husband, and had not obtained his
ssaction for the supply of the goods; secondly, whether
the goods N% ere necessaries according to defendanee
station in life; and thirdly, whether the 50L a year
which, although riot a settled annuity, was regularly
paid by a relation, was not sufficient for the maintenance
of Mrs. Newsam, si-ieing that her husband, according to
the evidence, was lit the beet in the receipt of but 1401•
or 1501. a year.
The jury return( id a verdict for the defendant.

EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION IN THE STRAND.---..
This morning, at a few minutes before six o'clock, a fire of 14
most serious character broke out in the premises belonging
to Mr. Cullingford, a lithographer, carrying on business as
No. 22, Southampton-street. Strand. In a very short peri°a
the Royal Society's fire-escapes, with the engine belonging`
to the parish, arrived. These were followed by three other
of the L' radon brigade, and were succeeded by that of tll(s_
West of England Company and four more of the London
establishment. The engines were set to work, but in spite
of the torrents of water thrown over the flames, they CO:,
tinned to mount, and having extended to the roofs of the
houses belonging to Mr. Jackson (No. 23) and Mr. Westhe' f
field, surgeon (No. 21), the destruction of the whole side
the street at one period seemed inevitable. The firetnell
however, kept to their posts, and by conveying the hose, ~,r
°t
two or three of. the enines on to the adjoining roofs, t'1":';
were enabled to cut off-the further progress of the flames'
but it was nearly ten o'clock this forenoon ere they W.e
wholly subdue 1. The total loss is very considerable, bei
ng
estimated by some of the firemen at nearly 2,0001.
