      QUEEN'S THEATBE . 2 & r . _Eiridafld , a _yoong aspirant for histrionic fame ,. has _leea . representing some of Shakspeare ' sfDesi characters for several nights wiih great _snccess . The pieces usually represented at this theatre are of : a melo-dramatic charaeter , and the company : being adapted for such pieces , any . artistefin the . higher walk of tragedy , must necessarily appear to disadvantage , owing . to , the want of adequate support from the corps dramatique . Impressed with this idea , we were agreeably surprised to find

      the tragedy of Hamlet placed upon the stage in a manner deserving commendation , and which certainly reflects great credit on the management . .. Mr . ; Kiridand ' s Hamlet is-a Tery respectable . performance ,, the soliloquies were well _delivered , and his . scenes withthe ghost , and also , with Ophelia , were excellent ; hoik Ms voice and figure are good , his . action graceful , and : many of his points were well made . We are not disposed to he _hypercritical , and . have . no . doubt but that a little

      more practical experience and study will realize Mr . Kirkland's fondest hopes . The personation ofthe Ghost by Mr . Green , was very good , and the . excellent acting of Mrs . C . Boyee as Ophelia , received well merited applause . We trust thatthe playgoers in this quarter , will , get a relish for the legitimate drama , and that the management will be well supported in catering , not only for the amusement , bat the instruction of its numerous patrons .

The production of Mr . Knowles * Hunchback , _dffotded . her an opportunity of displaying her talents in a higher class of character than that to which she has hitherto been accustomed .

      Her acting of Helen was marked by an easy and ladylike deportment , an unaffected gaiety , and a diligent study of the points of the character . Itis quite possible to vulgarise this part exceedingly , bnt Hiss Woolgar , while she conquered the frigidity of her victim Modus , gained her victory , not by rude assaults , but hy irresistible insinuations . It was altogether an excellent performance , and will , we hope , he aprelade to the advance of Miss Woolgar beyond the ordinary precincts of farce and melodrama . '

The first persons to raise Sir Robert from the ground were two gentlemen named Towll and . King .. ¦ ,. The right hon . baronet was then completely insensible-rhis features ' were slightly abrased , and . his face' perfectly pallid , indeed , so much changed , that it was some' moments before hu identity w _^ discoVered Sir _JamesClarke , on observing the accident hastened forward to render . aU the . assistance iu his power , and Commodore Eden , who was the first to recognise Sir Robert galloped off to giyefth ' e first information at the right hon .

      to lesson the shock to the'family oh receiving the intelligence . Another gentleman gallopped off to St . George ' s Hospital , and returned immediately with one ofthe medical assistants and a cabriolet to remove Sir Robert . Mr . _jMackeDzie just previously observed ah open carriage approaching , in which were two'ladies ; Mrs . Lucas , of _Bryahton-square , ahdhe ' r daughter , had explained to them the 'serious nature of the _accident upon which M _«? .. Lucas at _onceinoiated upon alighting and .

'A gleam of'hope was raised on Tuesday morniug , at eight o ' clock , by the appearance of the following bulletin : .- . ¦ ¦ .. . ' . "After seven o ' clock , last _evening , Sir _^ Robert Peel ' s symptoms were considerably'aggravated , so as to cause much anxiety respecting him ; -Early thisfmorning , : however , he : had some : refreshing _, sleep , and the alarming symptoms bave somewhat abated .-: Whitehall , hatf _past eight o ' clock a . m . . During Monday _nighi ,. when the right hon . ' baronet ' s symptoms appeared very unfavourable , Viscount Hardinge , who for many years has lived' on the most affectionate terms of : friendship ; with Sir Robert _, was ¦ sent for . The noble viscount answered

      tlie summons immediately , and remained with his right hon . friend throughout the night , taking leave for a short time only when the more favourable bulletin was issued in the morning . f - - ' Jn consequence of the great number of carriages which drove up to the mansion ,-on . Tuesday , and the urgent necessity of preserving the greatest quietude , so as' not to interrupt the occasional rest of Sir Robert , the medical gentlemen gave instructions at an early hour that no carriages should be allowed to enter the court-yard . The gates were accordingly closed , and as parties arrived they were referred to the bulletin , copies of which were exhibited on the gates * . A porter was in attendance to receive cards , and so great was the anxiety exhibited throughout the day , that-the number of visitors considerably exceeded those npon any previous day . v _; ' i ;

      The answer to all inquiries , up to mid-day , was that Sir Robert Peel continued- much-the same as when the bulletin was issued at half-past eight o ' clock . During the afternoon , the crowd increased so much , that additional officers were sent to preserve Order , and a copy of the bulletin was furnished , to a constable stationed at the entrance of . Whitehall-gar dens , in order to enable him to answer _inquiriesin WhitehaUV . and thus lessen the pressure ofthe crowd near the mansion . At half-past , six o clock the following bulletin was issued . —; " Sir Robert Peel is much exhausted ; and altogether : not so well' as he was on the earl y part of th 9 day . —July 2 , 1850 , halfpast six p m .

The Bishop of Gibraltar arrived shortly before eight ' o ' clock , and -was admitted to the presence of the

      right hon . baronet * , with . whom he remained for nearly an hour . Sir Robert at this time became very much worse , and all the members of bis family were introduced to take a last leave of their revered parent . We believe that Lady Peel : was reduced to such a state of mind , from excessive grief and : watching , that it was not thought advisable to acquaint her ladyship ¦ w ith . ' the approaching dissolution of her husband lest the shock might prove greater than she could bear . ; " _> ' - " ¦ ' - ¦ ' ¦ '' ¦ •' Viscount Hardinge had arrived in _Whiteball-gardens some time before ,. and joined Lord _Villiers and Mr . Dawson and all the other members of ; the family" at the bedside of his afflicted friend . Sir J . Graham , the constant political and private friend , ' Sir Robert , had been sent-for , and was al 60 admitted to an interview ; with the right hon . baronet , who , withthe exception of ' occasional wanderings , retained his sensibility until within a very short period of his death . •' _¦¦ ' . ' > _"' "• ' _= _ '

      At nine minutes after eleven o ' clock ; Sir Robert Peel breathed his last , in'the presence of nearly all the members of his family , of whom he had taken an affectionate leave only a short time previously . Intelligence of the melancholy event was immediately forwarded to Buckingham Palace , and by electric telegraph to several family __ connexions of the right honourable _baronet resident in the country , Sir Robert Peel expired in the dining-room of his mansion , from which apartment he has not been re moved since his arrival at home after the accident .

      Hramoir Of. Sir R. Peel.,;.;, The Father...

      _hraMOIR OF . SIR R . PEEL ., ; . ; , The father of Sir R . Peel was , as is weil known , one of the enterprising men who helped to lay the foundation of out present'enormous' and ' important cotton manufacture . He was boraI in . 1750 , and iu 1773 embarked in a cotton factory at Bury , in Lancashire , in " partDership with'' a Mr . Yates , whose daughter he afterwards married . In _fourteeriyears —so rapidly was money made by cotton spinning in those days—he had amassed enough to purchase a Urge landed estate in Yorkshire , to which he _subseqnently added others iii Staffordshire and : Warwickshire .. At Tarn worth ,. then falling , info decay _, hi set up an extenseve factory , and hy restoring its

      business , activity , and giving employment toils inhabitants , gained political . influence , which . afterwards secured him the seat ffor that borough—a rat subsequently enjoyed by his ' son . When the first French revolution brokeout , Mr . Peel , the father . was inclined to regard the ' principles of its prompters with _favourj but subsequent events changed his opinions , and he supported Mr . Pitt during the war —so steadily , indeed , that when ; in 1797 , voluntary contributions were asked towards the support ofthe expenses of the campaign ,- he and ' ' his partner gave no less than £ 10 . 000 in one sum : He had : itis

      _saidi at that time in his employment , and relying on the wagevhe paid , no less than 15 , 000 . persons , towards whom he . exercised . a benevolent . regard , limiting the hours of labour of the young , and , providing the means of education for such as were willing , to avail themselves of such advantages . . When invasion of the country was spoken , of . Mr . r Peel _coritributed towards the formation and support of the Lancashire fencibles _, and he raised , chiefly from among bis own workmen ; six companies of volunteers—the Buiy Loyal _Voluhteers- _^ of whom he was the lieutenant colonel . These service * , added to the

      consideration of his great wealth ; gained forbirain 1801 a baronetcy . In Parliament _^ he often spoke upon questions of trade : and manufactures ; he advocated the union with Ireland , ' ' and had' strong opinions on the currency—opinieris , it may he remarked , opposed to those afterwards put forward and carried into effect byhis son . ij . v ' _.-, ¦/ -. ' . The late Sir _^ Robert Peel , the subject , of ; this notice , was born oh the 5 th pf February ,. 1788 . , Inheriting his fatherfs talents and aptitude for business , he had all the super-added ad vantages-of an « w \ y , soiftid / . aud complete . education . ; .

      the Colonies . The official career thus commenced ' , and fated to lead to the highest offices of the state , did not linger on its . early '; _stages .

Haying resigned the _^ Irish secretaryship , he had more leisure for taking a ' prominent part in the discussions ofthe English parliament ; and on the 17 tb of January , 1822 . . Lord Sidmouth having retired on that day , Peel was appointed Secretary of State , for the Home Department , a post which he held till the advent ef Canning , in 1827 .

      The Duke of Wellington' being called to the counsels of the king in the ensuing January , 1828 : Peel ' was once more in place as ' h ' ome secretary , and held that ; important post during : ' the ' troublesome period that preceded the dissolution ' of the '' Tory ministry in _> 1830 . Before he took office _wth'the Duke , of Wellington _^ he had staunchly opposed Catholic emancipation ; but'he entered upon- his official career in 1828 knowing that _theiduke meant to grant relief to the Catholics . " His voice arid his

      rote being used against his old friends of the '' no Popery _^ parity / ' and in . favourof . political _progressj gave mortal offence to many , of .. his supporters . Iii vain he declared that his . feelings on , the subject re _^ mainedas ;' they , had , been ,. but that emanci ' _patiou " could not any longer be safely withheld . * ' ' , Oxford would have him ho longer ; he was-opposed and beaten by Sir Robert Harry _Inglis , and ' compelled tq find his way into parliament through the convenient borough of Westbury . . - ' v .- ' .

      The memorable three' days of July . ' 1830- thafc gave Louis Philippe a- throne ; lent- an' impulse to ; Europe which , amongst . bther things , turned the : Tories once more out of office in England ; and let 1 in the Whigs to carry the Reform Bill ; Sir Robert served his patty during the debates on this measure ! by speaking long ; and . frequently ! and cleverly inj favour of rotten boroughs , and against the proposedchanges in piir representative Bystem . But in vain , ! The Reform Bill became the law of the land . _,., _.- ' . i / Whilst these political contests were in progress , Sit Robert Peel , ' the father , died , leaving his son to ' succeed to the barbrietcy , and to an atriouht of property that rendered him one of the wealthiest commoners in England . On his parent ' s demise : he gained also the seat for Tamwortb , which he occupied : till his death . ! J .:.:: .

      -. In 1834 Earl Spencer died , Lord Althorp re : signedrthe Melbourne ministry was broken Up , and the . ; Duke of Wellington was again sent for . * Sir Robert Peel , was at the time in Italy with bis family seeking amusement : and the improvement of his health . . The duke , by this time , seems . to-have fully appreciated the'value of the absent . statesman to the Conservative party ,, for be despatched , at once , a mes _' seriger to offer Sir Robert the Premier _, ship . The crowning point of his official' ambition was gained . He returned to England , formed a ministry , and dissolved the parliament . Peel was now to show his quality a 3 a statesman . He had

      bis choice of colleagues , and' many favourable circumstances for his great experiment . He hid secured a reputation for official aptitude ; for power in debate , and for . services as alaw reformer . He had , moreover , taken very decided steps by bis bill of 1819 , and mother ways , for influencing the currency and monetary arrangements of the country . In executive government , in legislatorial conflict , in the modification of our jurisprudential system , he ' had made bis influence felt throughout the _counitry . The country was now more than ever in ; his hands , and the people looked , on wiih natural _^ solicitude to know what the hew _Coaservative minister would do .

      _; ' It was on the 9 th of February , 1835 ,. that the new parliament assembled . In this parliament Sir R . Peel ' s government was" beaten ' on more than one question , _i On the 8 th of April , he and his colleagues resigned ,- and' the-Whigs returned to power , which they retained until 1839 , but with gradually diminishing majorities ,. inntil at length they were virtually- defeated on the : Jamaica Bill , and retired from office . This was in 1839 . Sir R , Peel was once more entrusted with the task of forming a ministry . ,. ' ¦

      \ ' The celebratelb _^ dchamber plot is yet too fresh in the minds of most men to rf quire any detailed notice here . It appeared that Sir Robert fancied that ' the Queen had given him the most ample authority to surround her both'in her political aria doniestic ' _capacity , ' _with parties of'hw . _' _cKooslri gl alrid submitted a list to her Majesty containing the names of an entirely new household . -The Queen was surprised at the proposition , and intimated her disinclination f o let political changes reach her in her domestic relations _, i But Sir Robert ! was inexorable * and insisted upon tbe proposed changes in the household , not as a , domestic but ; as a political necessity ' Not succeeding in his object , he came down to the

      House of Commons , ; and stated that he had abandoned the intention of forming a cabinet , on the ground that he had had the misfortune to misunder stand the wishes pf her Majesty on a matter of great importance . Sir' Robert was again in opposition , having on this occasion abandoned . the Treasury bench ere he'bad scarcely taken pos _' session of it , on grounds which some affected to regard as good , hot which others treated as a mere pretext for relinquishing office , at a time 'when it < was inconvenient'in a party point of view to accept it . The _apologisisof

      bis conduct , on this occasion , find it necessary to magnify the political influence ' of the immediate personal attendants upon her Majesty-and excuse Sir Robert for not forming a ministry , on the score that a few . whig ladies . at court _would have been more than ' a ' matchfor the cabinet at _. WhitehalL .. .. _,,,. . ' ! It was thus that , _^ aftsr a . brief succession , the whigs once more resumed their places on the Treasury bench , which , with but few interruptions , they had enjoyed since 1831 . They , carried on the government till 1841 .

      i They were once more , as a ministry , in the agonies of dissolution _* when their unfortunate budget , with its alarming deficit , gave the coup de grace } 0 their administration . They : did not on this occasion , however , follow- the vulgar precedent of resigning . They dissolved parliament , notthecabinet , andappealed to the country ,: The general election was contested on a variety of issues . The . Whigs were arraigned , in connexion with their whole policy , at the bar of publicopinion . But it was their position with respect to the _corn' duties , . which raised , the chiefissue on which the contest turned . Previously to this Sir Robert Peel had been , _regarded as the head 0 f the party disignating itself conservative , as

      contradistinguished to the progress party , represented by the Whigs _) and nicknamed destructives by its-opponents . But , in 1841 / during the electoral contest in question , he appeared in a new character , as the head , of the country party , against the commetcial patty ; which _was then organising , - and the principles bf which have since culminated in the abstraction known as the Manchester school . The old political watchwords : were forgotten in the conflict which was now waged : ou economic grounds . ' Protection and Free Trade met face to , face onthe . electoral field , and although political considerations were not overlooked , the battle was chiefly fought between

      these antagonist systems , Ih this ; first pitched bat * _, tie between them . Free Trade was worsted , and the Whigs , in the autumn of 1841 ,. met a parliament in which there was a majofity of nearly 100 against . them . - As soon as they made' this "discovery , ' they resigned , and Sir Robert Peel , ' the " ' incarnation of the victorious principle , the champion of the country party , and the leader--of the conservatives , was once more summoned to form an administration . From-the manifestoes wbich he uttered , and the speeches-which he delivered , las- well-as . from the form in . which the issue ; between the . two _parties went tothe country , _ it could riot :. be doubted that Sir Robert acceded to power as the avowed enemy

      bf the fatal accident ; which has' just terminated' in his death ; Sir Robert- Peel , ' althoughnot' in power , could scarcely be said to be in opposition .
