THE LATE SIR ROBERT PEEL

On Wednesday morning the deputation appointed
at a large and most respectable meeting of the inha-
bitants of Tamworth and the neighbourhood on the
sth inst. proceeded to Drayton-manor for the pur-
pose of presenting to Sir Robert Peel an address of
condolence. The deputation, consisting of Mr. John
Butler, mayor of Tamworth ; the Rev. E. Harston,
vicar ; S:r C. M. Clarke, Mr. S. Hanson, ex-mayor;
Mr. F. Willington, Mr. J. Hall, Mr. T. Braman,
and Mr. W. Parsons, magistrates ; and Mr. R.
Neville, arrived at Drayton about ten o'clock, and
were received by Sir Robert Peel, Mr. F. Peel,
M.P., Lord Villiers, and Mr. Lawrence Peel.
The MAYOR having stated the object of their visit,.
called upon the vicar to read the following ad-
dress :

" TO SIR ROBERT PEEL,

BART.

" beg to address you with feelings of sincere
respect arid sympathy.
" The affliction with which it has pleased Almighty
God to visit you is so overwhelming that we are at a
loss to expref.s our sense of it. We shrink from intru-
ding upon prier to sorrow, and yet we experience some
relit f to ourselves in assuring ycu of our profound
sympathy with Lady Peel, yourself, and all the mem-
bers of your affl'eti-d family.
"It is bt'youd our power to estimate the loss to Tam-
worth and the neighbourhood occasioned by this most
mournful event. Not only do we bear our full share in
the calamity which has befallen the nation in the
removal of a mcst exalted statesman from the councils
of our beloved Monarch—not only do we mingle our
grief with science, literature, and art, over the grave of
their most generous patron, but there is added to our
share in the common deprivation the loss of a represen-
tative in the ;Senate, whose care fur our interests was
only equalled by his diligence in his Parliamentary.
one from among
duties ; and to this we must add the still greater loss of
taught us all, both rich and poor, to love and respect in
us whom long-tried experience had
the closer relations of neighbour and friend.
"In so great a trial as that which has now befallen
you, we know that human consolation must be unavail-
ing, but we venture to offer you this tribute of our re-
pectful sympathy, both as a means of evincing cur hearty
attachment to yourself and your family, and as some
alleviation cf our common sorrow.
" Above all, we heartily pray that He who bath dealt
the blow may administer the balm, and enable you to de-
rive comfort from 1.1-fleeting upon the honourable and
patriotic public career and the private worth and distin-
guishing excellences which won general respect and
admiration for your illustrious parent.
" Signed on behalf of a public meeting of the inhabi-
tants of the borough of Tamworth and the neigh-
bourhood, this sth day of July, 1850.
" JOHN BUTLER, Mayor of Tamworth."
_ To this address Sir Robert Peel replied as fol-

Lows :

" Gentlemen,—Bowed down under the heavy affliction
with which it has pleased Almighty God to visit so sud-
denly my family and myself, we gratefully acknowledge
all expressions of sympathy, especially when so feelingly
coupled, as in the present instance, with assurances of
respect and admiration for the memory of that great
anti good man, our father; and while such expressions,
almost universal throughout the country, cannot alleviate
the mental sufferings of our dear mother and ourselves,
they tend at least to animate us with a consciousness
that his services have met with that appreciation from
his fellow-countrymen which it was his pride to
aspire to.
"In truth, gentlemen, in the father we lament you
have lost not only a zealous representative in the House
of Commons, but a friend and neighbour; for while it
tvaa his delight, when relaxation from Parliamentary
duties afforded him the opportunity, to cultivate the so-
ciety and friendship of those whose acquaintance and
esteem—almost, indeed, from childhood, it had been his
good fortune to enjoy, he had ever at heart what he ap-
prehended would most contribute to the prosperity of
Tam worth and the neighburhood, and to the interests
which in Parliament had so long been confided to his
charge,
"In my own name, gentlemen, and in that of my fa-
mily, I b-g to thank you most sincerely for the N ery
kind expte,sioris made use of in this address of condo-
lence which you now present me on behalf of a meeting
cf the inhabitants of Tamworth and the neighbourhood;
and I pray you to convey my earnest acknowledgments
to those whom you here represent, assuring you that,
with the same desire to continue those friendly relations
which so long existed between yourselves, gentlemen,
validrmt)o' late
he
ndfaetrmrt
worthy of his great name."

The following address of condolence from the Town
Council of Hull was forwarded on Saturday to Mr. F.
Peel, M.P., by the Right Hon. M. T. Bakes, M.P. for
that borough :
" At a special meeting of the Town Council of the
Borough of Kingston-upon-Hull, July 11, 1850:
" Resolved,—That this Council, representing the opi-
nions of all classes of the inhabitants of Hull, desires to
express its deep sorrow for the loss which the British
empire has sustained by the sudden death of that eminent
statesman the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, who for the
log period cf forty years devoted his great talents, his
high persuasive eloquence, his untiring industry, and his
woneerfal administrative capacity, to the advancement of
the prosperity of his native country in the House of
Commons.
" That, as a tribute of respect to the memory of the
deceased statesman, and of sympathy for the inestimable
loss which has been sustained by the family of one not
less distinguished for the purity of his private than for
the patriotism ot his public life, this council begs to be
showed to convey to La'ly Peel, and t) the other mem-
bers of the deceased Right Honourable B tronet's fa-
mily, this most sincere expression of the general sorrow
with ohich the Town Council and the whole people of
Hull have received the intelligence of a bereavement
iu which (reverently submitting to the wisdom and
power of God) they recognise a great and irreparable
loss to this country and to the civilized world."
(Signed) " Tuomes THOMPSON, Town Clerk."
