No accident to life occurred. Yesterday morning. between ten and twelve o'clock, the house of Mr. Anderson, surgeon, Great St. Thomas Apostle, was entered by the street-door by some of those lurking rascals who watch every opportunity to commit depredations.

The following tribute to the memory of Mr. CAN• wino, has been communicated to the Edieor of the Tyne Mercury, by a Corespondent of that very ropes. table Journal: Mr. Canning is dead !—the respecter of the rights of Engt.h. men—the advocate of rational liberty—the guardian at hi country's honour—the wise, the eloquent, and the brave— Multi.

Another illustrious sacrifice has been offered up in the cane of public duty—another noble •ictim has bled i n the altar of inno. rable ambition. And yet it is a glorious cause, for the furtherance of which a man may be proud to live—for the sake of which he need not fear to die. It is about eight weeks since she writer of this memoir last my Mr. Canning. His constitutina had been much shaken by the vie. lent attack he bad undergone in the spring, the consequence ofa cold caught at the Duke of York's funeral At dinner, Mr. Canning looked care-worn anti enfeebled ; but as the &pion was approach. ing to its close, his friends fondly looked forward to a period of comparative repose, which might gradually repair his shattered constitution.—But how little repose is ever in reserve for the Prime Minister of the King of England ! Mr. Canning bad always Acorn the writer particular kindness. in the recollection of vehicle I now derive a melancholy consolation; and on that evening, as his guest's departed, I remained accidentally last in the room, and when I wished him " Good night, and fare well," !leashed " When I left town! . " In three days." .• Al" said he, "so soon ?. Then good bye ; I shell not see you again." I shook him tenderly by the hand, and said, " GOD bless you, Sir; for as I looked in his pensive, though beaming, countenance, marked the impression which disease had left, and care tstal d fsM, upon his "faded cheek, yet under brows of dauntless courage anti consid pride," the sad thought started across my mind that perhaps, indeed, I should not see bins again. And now, in little more than one short month afterwards, with bitterness do I lament the fulfilment of that presage. I mown for a public calamity—l mourn for a private losskr a friend departed —for a stay removed. Yet he has left a glorious example. I line heard of his fault'', but I sever saw them ; and if I saw them sot when he was alive, I will not hear of them now that he is dead. Farewell then, accomplished acholar, profound statesman, as. equalled orator !—in humour unrivalled, is argument saanswered, in eloquence irresistible!, Few, but bright, have been the days of,thy triumph ! Dark is tie ur that summons thee from hence ! Foe a short moment thus but adorned the eminence to which thine high destinies had malted thee, and the universe is filled with the effulgence of thy farm.

His Excellent/ also postponed the introduction of the Lord Mayor and Shea! Elect, which had been fixed for Saturday,wod also the cuemooy laying the first stone of the King's Bridge, which had been ap pointed fur Monday. We are not surprised that a community of genius, and the long personal friendship which subsisted betwom these illustrious persons, should render the danger or death of Mr. Canning a subject of poignant regret to Lord Wellesley.—Doai Patric*. =TRACT Or • LITTZII PROM PARIS, DATED •0111787 11.
