SIR ROBERT PEEL.- Nearly thirty-fve wears
ago. the American Minister, Mr.. Rush, then re-
siding at the Court of St. James, thus wrote of
Peel:
when Mr.. Adams returned to Washington, in
1919, from the English mission, he was accustom-
ed to say, speaking of the public men of England,
that for extensive education and knowledge, com
bined with superior endowments and effective
oratory he regarded Mr. Peel as first among
those then advancing into renown-an opinion re-
markably sustained by the result and all who
have read the speech of Sir Robert Peel, on his
Inauguration into the office of lord Rector of the
University of Glasgow, in 1887 may see in it that
his mind is not less thoroughly imbued with the
spirit OF all that is chaste and elegant in literature
than stored with those solid and manifold acquire
menis of the statesman, which have given him as
Premier Of England mastery over public affairs
in their 1rgest range and combinations Ths--as
a Renaissance OF more than quarter Of century.

"The conversation at table had as one topic, the
reforms in the law, subject which Parliament had
taken up, and with which Mr. Peel has had so
much to do In abiding to it this evening, his in

to the Baltimore Sun says: The brig Elizabeth,
belonging to Philadelphia, from Leghorn, went
ashore last Friday night ON Fire Island. She im.
