On Saturday the family Lad a numerous party to dinner at their house, in the Crescent. when Sir N. appeared to be In most excellent health and spirits. The family emended Divine Service at the Church on Sunday, and the Baronet retired to rest in apparent good health. Yesterday attaining, shoot live o'clock, he was seised with a 6t of apoplexy. Dr. Bormastox and Mr. Samara, the surgeon, who reside in the Crescent, were Immediately called In; these Gentlemen did every thing possible for his relief, but in vain; the Baronet expired In skut two hours. NR. CANNING'S FIRST POETICAL PRODUCTION. The earliest production of the muse of Mr. CANNING was a prize poem written while he was at the school of the Reverend CUARLIS RICHARDS, at Hyde Abbey House, near Winchester, befote the future politician had attained • his fourteenth year, at which time be was re. moved to Eton. The subject of the poem is the altar piece in Winchester cathedral, painted by Wane, and then just put up—the subject •• Camay raising Lazarus." The poem was publicly recited in the school by the young poet. It has sever been printed ; and it is doubt ed that even a copy of it exists at present. The foil 'w ing lines are quoted from memory in a provincial paper, by a Gentleman who was at school with Mr. CANNING. and had at the time.a copy of the entire. The entire puce may be e s tim a t e d f rom them —ex pale Hercteent. They refer to MA RY, the sister of LAZA RUS, and MAR /11A, in the act of silent adoration : " The beauteous Maar, on the turf reclined, Poor' forth the strong effulgence of her mind, So heat I seen, when on the verdant mead Young Arm. first the hours resplendent lead, The opening clouds a gentle moisture pour, And 'midst the sunshine drops the silent shower." We mentioned lately the death, at Smyrna, of J. K. FISHER, E.q. iesidecit partner of the secpectAle hoi.se nt that city of M KERR, BLACK, and FISHER: we r.ow copy the lollow•iug eulogium on that Gentleman ham the Oriental Spectator, published at " SM•SKA, Auo. 11 " The English commerce of Smyrna has just now sustained a severe loss in the person of Mr. J. K. FISI4IIII, partner in the house of Kass, Buser, and Figura, who died of a few days illness. Ilerchants of all nations have felt It their duty to render the last tribute of respect to his memory; and all of them have expressed the most profound regret for the death of a Gentleman so highly 4 " 4 de wtyrdly esteemed. Mr. J. K. Flamm, who united much mo desty to consummate commercial knowledge,was particularly distin guished by great firmness of character, combined with a generosity heart which gained him universal esteem and affection. His numerous friends hem cordially sympathise with his funny on thi. melancholy occasion." The beautiful new stone bridge over the Serpentine in Hyde Park continues an object of daily admiration. £'e promenaders are always struck by its neat ap. pumice, and pleased with the facility with which they pass over the sheet i f water. T. JAM tee PA RK.— YesterdAy morning hundreds of persons collected round the building in St. James's Pen k in which the steam engine has been erected, for pumping the water out of the Canal, in consequence of a number of binds being employed in pulling the whole of it down, as it was supposed some dreadful accident had occurred by the bnrsting of the boiler as the roof was just fi.ii 'bed. On irquiry we were informed, that several Ladies, whose back premises look into the Park, were annoyed by the noise and ste.oke. This building has been erected at no little expence. What means will be used to empty the Canal is not known, but it is hardly possible for the ks to go on without the water being pumped out. THE THEATRES. DEJJEY-L E ANE THEATRE. The Comedy of A Cure for the Heave Ache waafew formed at this Theatre last night, for the purpose d introducing * Mr. Jonas, late of Covent' Garden Theatre,' for the first time, in the character of Young Rapid. IC Ss scarcely necessary to say, that the audience re.eived him in his new domicile with an unanimous weleoMe. Mr. JoNas's merits, as a pea former. are too well known and appreciated to neeJ any commendation from us at the present day. It is sufficient to say, thst he doesbot appear to hare lost any of his vivacity by being trans plaoted Irons the Garden. He kept moving, as usual. much to the amusement of his auditors.

The lust pert.irn.ance at vie Odeon was 'like Fchool for Scandal, upon which Comedy acre is an tlaborate, and in some respects an intelligent and just ciiticiow in the Journal des Debuts. Mows Foove was the Lady Teazle, and her performance is said. to. have been the especial object Of French curiosity.. The. critic decides t' at she was successful in the frivolity and coquetry of tl.e part, but deficient in the force. required by the more serious sent ments. At the tall of the screen her contusion is said to have been but leesly eapres•ed in her countenance, a: d the use of her Lien to have a i speared rather 1 ke the trick of a coquette than the expression of sh ime or the eff ct of lean He adds, that the laugh and la pith seem to be the true ements for the di . rplay of 311sa FOOTE'S theatrical, Went, as was proved by her performance in the Farce Of ke Weathercock.

Tierc is !ikely to be a sharp contest between the two rival Hou es, Drury-laneTheatre and the SurreyTheatre. That r ear prodigy, Master Bun Elt, is to perform Young Norval at the latter, so that the public will have air o portunity of judging of the respective merit of the joseniie Rosctus and young KeAtt. Mr. BANNISTAR was among the curious and anxious wect.itors of young KRA N'S debut, on Mon !ay evening. He hobbled up the staircase to the dress boxes, appa l. fly with much difficulty, appealing to be as great a martyr as ever to his old tormentor, the gout. . NINE PlNS.—Ttielate kat I of LONISDALE was so Plt• tensile a proprietor and patron of Boroughs, that he returned nine Members every Parliament, who were facetiously called " Lord Lonsdale's nine pins." One of the Uemb.rs, thus designated, having made a very pant speech, was answered by Mr. Hulls In a vein of the happiest sarcasm, which elicited from the House loud and continued cheers. Mr. Pox, entering the House j•ro as MIAICR/LIL was sitting down, enquired of Sninuoam what the House was cheering. "0, nothing of consequence," replied SAMURAI, " rmy Burke has knocked down one of Lord Loos dale's nine pins." In 'turner times it would appear as if some operations ,ietre done for the patient and some for the, practitioners. A friend of mine met a sailor with a wooden leg— " bis precious limb was lopped And where was it lopped off?"—.. , At Saint Thomaa's."—N ' And —.. what was it lopped off for ?".• 1,1,1 1 y„ .as tp big m.tter u',hat," quo:h Jack, ' 4 nothing, that .1 ; toald ever see."

Toe surgery man dislcipeared ;. in top mi nutes he returned, with a face as long as the leg, solos., 4 " Why do you not bring in the patient?" was demanded by the rxi ectant operator. Because, Sir," said the astonished surgery man, " because, Sir, he has run away." The vacancy occasioned by the depaiture of one of the senior boys in the Blue•:oat fur College, has been. ballotted fog by the Governors at lag ge.

Innumerable applications here made to him, by Lnrds down to Common Councilmen, solgciting the piesenta-, tion; but he replied, that he should give the presentation to no boy except the parents were unable to pay the ex-' penses of education, i.t order that the objets, of the charity might be effected. This decision reached the Navy Club House, and a letter was addressed, by a dis tinguished member of the Club, to Mr. Alderman FARE. ancdrHest, representing, that an object of pure charity would be found in the son of Lieut EiLtorr; who resided near Plymouth. The letter stated, that the Lieutenant had been wounded its the head, while in the naval ser• vice, and he had only 7cl. per annum on sshich the Lieutenant, his wife, and eight children, had to depend. The Es-Sheriff wrote down to the parson of the parish for a confirmation of the facts, which lie received in a few days. The presentation card was filled up for the Lieutenant's son, aged eight years, and sent down to the Lieutenant without his knowing what had been done for one of his family.

Last night, about half-past seven o'clock, as a Gentleman (whose name was understood to be BAR mow) residing at Peckham Rye, accompanied by a female about eighteen years of age, his daughter, was driving down Parliament-street, Westminter, .in a handsome little poney chaise, the linchpin of the wheel unfortunately cane out, and they were both overturned, but, shocking to 'elate, Miss Batrow fell in so peculiar a position that the corner of the vehicle fell upon her breast.

It appears, that at two o'clock 'on that morning, - :•a labouring man, whn was sleeping • in the erir•hatiie belosigin,• to Mr. M•Dermott, of the above plate,.per ceiving the light of the fire, imagined it was day, and, on going to the door, saw the hay-rick in flames, and heard the noise of person running away.

ROOD FAIR. Our,-Rood Fair passed off very quietly this season. Though the lowa was *ell filled with country people.. the crowd, we believe, bas been mirth more dense es some former occasions; but the falling off may be easel). accounted tar, by the number of persons in the aloes and uplands who are still busy with the labours of the harvest. HORSE MARKET.—.The show of horses at ourltood Fair, was superior to any thing we have seen for a nue. ber of years. But here we speak chirfly of one or two year colts, and four and five year old animals and up wards, fit for draught and all other sorts of farm work. The supply of roadsters was neither particularly good nor large, and as for carriage horses we question whe-her there was a pair in the whole market. But-the Sdring, rather than the fall, is the season when road tens are in most request, and hence the reason why so few kshiremen visit us in Air u he. In place of these, however, we ha 1 dealers from Glasgow, Edinburgh, Ayrshire, &c. a, well as agents from the larger colleries an Cumberland, and Northumberland, few of whom went off with less thrn from a dozen to twenty horses. Dealing began even on Monday, and on that day . atwa *fund ry every thing superior was bought up and set aside. All our resident dealers disposed reachl/ of their whole stock, and several of them on Wednesday repeat edly bought and sold with a profit. "I'lie rise on hone flesh Since last Rood Fair may be estimated at irons 15 to 2J per cent. and superior draught horses, whether young nr old, have rarely sold isetter in our l'emesnbrance.— The fair continued on Thursday; but the coopers on that day had it all to themselves, and it would req-bire a very indefatigable reporter to dirt,: to the bottorn-of their s-cret.. CAT I'LC MAIIIIKET.--..ThCfC wag • beaut ful show of cattle in our TA, ket nn Wednesday ; but as the Horse Fair (scowled nearly the whole Saudi, they were scat teied` aliout in $0 many directions, that it IA as totally out of pur poorer to c , unt them. The numbers, how -aver. gape generally estimated 'at about 3,000 anct of them the. great bulk wrre hfavy highlanders, heavy Galloway,. bishers, and N •rthlans; but in additicsn to the lots si evr,n Lere, very large droves have covered all lot. roads of late, and pcihaps We do not when ae say that 15,000 head "1 cattle have hit this 6tiict for the tnat kits f the South, within the last fortnight or ten d.ys. A novel circunt,ra , ce recurred in the cattle market on Wednesday. Ab ut a score of stron; Highland bullocks, better used to nature', carpet of Lerlrage or heath than the pay ior's one of hard uneven stones, and quite ignorant of the navigation of the NO. descended the steps at Bridge-street, and entered the wafer neatly opposite to Mr. Rankine's shop door. In place of wading ' to cool their cloots, they were over bead and errs in a moment, and plunged and spluttered, and splutt r, d and plunged, with their heads pointed up the stream. Some of then after a ter able tug got oat, not far from the place where they entered, but the greater part were huts ied by the flood to the edge of the Caul, and one or them after going right through the Gullet door plunge., inter the powerful eddy below, amidst sheets of sprit'', fitted to choke an elephant in place of a bullock.
