TO SIR. ROBERT PEEL.
(From the Times.)
SIR,—In August, 1841, the Whigs reached the climax
of their fate. To narrate to. you, Sir, the causes of
fa 11 would be at once superfluous and impertinent. I
pt ,ss, too, over the great measures of their early Admi-
nistration. It makes a man's head turn round to think
of the alterations and changes which were crowded
wi ithin the narrow limits of a few years. It was an era
of gigantic legislation, whether for good or for evil.
TI at much of what is truly and permanently beneficial
wa s then acco-mplished, I freely admit ; that great poli-
tic:4 faults, rA. bad almost said crimes, were committed,
yot I, Sir, will be, or would have been, the last to deny.
Bust a cheinge came at last over the spirit of the public.
In 11840, and before that, the national hot fit was passing
aw tiy. i the cold one rapidly approaching. It did not
re( pure a deficient revenue met by temporary expedi-
en ts, an Irish alliance injurious because degrading, or
vi' elent attacks upon the Constitution, to effect, at least
fo rethe time, the complete ruin of the Liberal party.
The truth is, that revolutionary reform had lost its
chat ;me and England became weary of the Whigs. These
poll ticians, after exhausting to the dregs their former
pop ularity, and straining or departing from the old prin-
cipi es of their party, fell into great disfavour. This was
not sensibly diminished by the adoption of a foreign policy,
le e Iliant, it is true, but full of peril, or by a most able
a ministration of the highest branch of equity. The
c hange of public opinion had been made sufficiently
i aanifest. Ile Whigs, however, were not to be easily
N yarned out of Downing-street. They struggled vainly
tin a unworthily. They introduced, under circumstances
of much suspicion. large and radical measures of com-
et ercial reform. Finally, they appealed to the country.
The success of that appeal is well known. But even
se ter Parliament had assembled, and the question had
een placed beyond a doubt, men beheld with indigna-
ition, not unmixed with contempt, a great party, pro-
fessing to be guided by constitutional principles, clinging
to the seals of office with a hold only loosened by a direct
-vote of want of confidence. During the decline and fall
of the Whigs, no man occupied a larger space in the eyes
.of the world than did you, Sir Robert Peel. Even then,
:and before you were formally clothed with power, you
:had for some time virtually shared with the late Govern-
ment the home administration of the country. No
man for a moment doubted that you would be our fu-
ture Prime Minister. It was a common observation
at the time, that you could do as well without your
party as they without you. You had revived among
the troops of gentlemen who sat behind you on the
Opposition benches, the spirit of the old Macedonian
-phalanx. Like, and yet unlike, the northern clan, their
swords were a thousand, their bosoms not one. Many a
time and oft might you have led them on to the attack
as to an assured victory. Their keen anxiety that you
should have availed yourself of these opportunities it is
needless to enlarge upon ; and their general behaviour
upon such occasions convinces one of the extent of their
confidence, or of the severity of the discipline. If a
high-spirited D'lsraeli tilted at an opponent with too ad-
venturous a bravery—if an Inglis, impatient under a
system to him almost unbearable, ran rusty in debate—
the rebuke administered was at least proportionate to
the offence. Such feats of undisciplined valour endan-
gered the order of battle, and disarranged your general
plans. You were biding your time. The pear was not
quite ripe.
The mystery with which, Sir, you chose to surround
yourself added terror to your name. Through the mist
you loomed upon your enemies with the dimensions of a
giant. When the Whigs, in their last struggles, called
upon you, in loud tones, and with all the energy of de-
spair, to explain yourself, to state what you would re-
commend, you answered them in mocking tones. You
could not then say. You were not in possession of all the
circumstances of the case. You would reserve your pre-
scription until the patient was in your hands, and all his
symptoms made known to you. You would then adminis-
ter the medicine, and—receive the fee. This reserve
contributed also to fix the support of your friends. Each
of them interpreted it favourably for the principles
which he secretly cheri.thed. They knew that by fol-
lowing almost the only piece of advice you had conde-
scended to give them, they had been remarkably suc-
cessful. They had diligently attended to the registries,

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

THE MANCHESTER AND BOLTON AND LEEDS
AND MANCHESTER RAILWAYS.
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—This afternoon
a special general meeting of the Company of Proprietors
of the Manchester, Bolton, and Bury Canal Navigation
and Railway was held at Hayward's Hotel, in Bridge-
street, in this town, for the purpose of taking into consi-
deration and deciding upon a proposed arrangement be-
tween the Manchester and Leeds Railway Company, and
the said Company of Proprietors jointly, if so agreed
with the Hull and Selby Railway Company, for uniting
and consolidating into one concern the traffic and busi-
ness of the said two first-mentioned Companies, or, if so
agreed, of the said three Companies, under one manage-
ment, and for giving such rowers and authorities to the
Committee of Management, in reference to the terms
of, and for carrying out, the proposed arrangement,
as the meeting might think fit ; and to authorise the
Committee of Management to apply to Parliament
for the requisite power to give full effect to any arrange-
ment which might be come to between the said two
first-mentioned Companies, or between the said three
Companies ; and also for taking into consideration and
deciding upon the making of provisional arrangements
for the management of the traffic and other business of
the said two first-mentioned Companies, or, if so agreed,
of the said three Companies, in connexion with each
other, until the sanction of Parliament could he ob-
tained ; or for such other period, and on such terms and
conditions, as at such meeting might be agreed upon.
James Brancker, Esq., of Liverpool, took the chair.
The proposed arrangement provided for the joint work-
ing in perpetuity of the two railways and navigation,
from the Ist of January next, subject to the following
stipulations—namely, each Company to remain pro-
prietors of their own railway and canal, and liable to
their own debts and engagements. The joint concern
to be managed by an associated board of ten Directors
from the Leeds Board, and three from the Man-
chester and Bolton Committee of Management ; the
working stock of the two Companies to become the pro-
perty of the associated Company. The net profits to be
divided in the proportion of eighty 53-100 to the Leeds
Company, and of nineteen 47-100 to the Manchester and
Bolton Company for the year 1845 ; and afterwards of
seventy-eight 2-10 to the Leeds Company, and twenty-
