Ikm—A meeting took place yesterday morning on llaun,low Heath, between Mr. B—LL—t. a Gentleman of sporting notoriety, and a Captain in the Army. The avhject of the present meeting was a dispute at a gam table, at the West end, the preceding evening. The •eclod s failed in an amicable adjustment, and the ground being measured, the parties fired. The Captain War severely wounded in the shoulder, and was not able to remove to town until yesterday evening. A skilful surgeon attended on the ground, and the Gentleman is 11 " doing well. Tuesday forenoon, a camelenpard was carried in a caravan to the Royal Lodge, Windsor, as a present to MAMMY. It is a most curious and beautiful ani• vital. After his MAJESTY, his visitors, and attendants, had taken a minute survey of ic, it was conveyed to, Cumberland Lodge, and there lodged in one of the stables, preparatory to a place being built for it at the Menagerie at Sandpit-gate.

CANNING. rttßTlltill PARTICULARS. At an early hour yesterday morning, the Abbey bell hegint.tng to to'), announced the approach of the hour when the remains of the lamented PRIM111!R were to he consigned to the silent tomb; and moil the moment the corpse was deposited in the grave, that solemn tere• mony, with some short intermissions, was continued. Son e hours before the time appointed for the mournful procession to leave Downing -street, vast numbers of respectably dressed individuals, most of whom were in moaning, began to congregate in the streets in that vicinity. Although up to II o'clock no outward pre-' parations were manifested, not even the customary ob servance of placing mutes at the door; about that hour some of the mourning coaches were driven down White hall, for the purpose of proceeding to the residences of those distinguished individuals who were selected to follow the lamemed Minister t'. his grave, and convey. ing them to Downing -street. Shortly after 11 o'clo.k, two mutes, dressed in theusual manner, with scarfs, sash, and wands, were stationed at the door of the Foreign Office; and others of the undertaker's men were now rapidly passing to and fro, busily engaged in making the necessary arrangements for the solemn pageantry. About 12 o'clock the first mourning coach drove•up to the door; and after that period the distinguished cha• ratters whn were to join in the mournful procession at inlet vals arrived. The crow i now began sensibly to increase, and it regoiied the active assistance of the po lice to elf -cc a pas , age for the carriages. At a few minutes before one, the hearse, drawn by six fine black horses, drove np to the door, and within a few minutes of that hour, every thing being arranged, the c , flit,, borne by eight of t'•e ()alert rker's men, was brought out of the house. and deposited in it ; Da% ning•street having in the mean time been cleated, a d a barrier placed at the entrance of is.

The carriages of his Royal Highness the Duke of Glou cester and his tirace the Duke of Portland had six horses each. The servants wore their state liveries. In this manner the procession moved slowly down Parliament. street, and Little Bridge -street. to the north-west door at the Abbey. Tire crowd was now immense ;so much so. that notwithstanding the heavy fall of rain. which had driven vast numbers to take seine in the adjoining houses the whole line of road was almost impassable. At twenty minuses before two o'clock the funeral per-cession arrived at the great western gate rif the Abbey. The marshals, mutes, and pursurvants entered first, with a large plateau of black plumes. After they had advanced a few paces up the aisle, the Rev. Dr. Ireland, Dean of Westminster, and the Rev. Mr. Ben tinck, who had been for sonic time waiting by the side of the great gateway, near the monument of Mr. Pat, met the coffin, and as they preceded it into the Abbey, read the commencement of the burial service. As they advanced up the aisle, the mourners, whose names we have already mentioned, followed in the following order. First, Mr. C. Canning, the son of the deceased, as chief mourner, supported on the right hand by his Royal Highness tl.e Duke of Clarence, and on the left by his Ka) al ll•ghness the Dukerit S asses, and his uncle, the Duke of Portland. Nest, the Marquis r f Clanricarde, accompanied by the private Secretary of the deceased, Mr. Stapleton. Then the Earl of Carlisle, the Marquis of Stafford, and Earl Morley; the Marquis of Conyngliam, the Duke of Devonshire, and Lord Leveson Gower; the Lord Chancellor, Lord Goderich, and the Marquis of Lsnsdown ; Mr. Sturges Bourne, Sir George Cockburn, and Mr. Backhonse. As they advanced up the aisle, the Members of the Corps Diplomatique, among whom were the Prince Esterhazy, the Prince de Lievesi, Count Munster, and the Marquis of Palniella, fell into their rear; and alter them came those distinguished person. ages of our own country, who, though not of the family, were anxious to evince their respect for the memory of the departed Senator. T:sey had previously assembled in the Jerusalt m Chamber, from which they proceeded to the interior of the Abbey, on learning the approach of the funeral to it. They :singed the mselves along the left side of the north aisle, and as the procession passed them, gradually filed off into its ranks. The foßiwing are ttm names of some of the distinguished individuals who were present on this melancholy occasion: Earls Cowper, Clarendon, Fife, Goan's!, °salary ; Lord Auck land, F.lliutr, Grantham, Kensington, W.

W, saw tears in the eyes of Lord Goderich, L.ord Sealord the Duke of Devonshi!e, and three or four other indisi duals, with whose names we were unacquainted. Some of Mr. Canning's servants mingled in the cross d around his grave,and sheared by the violence of their sorrow Ito deeply they lamented the loss which they had sts•tained.

As-the dock struck two, the funeral pageant came to its end; and then slowly, and by degrees, the mourner retired from the- hallowed spot, which contained the re mains of him ss hom they had long admired at a votes. man, and affectioncely loved ass friend. Am-ng the fist to depart were their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Clarence and of Sussex. They were followed by the Mar qui, of Clanricarde and Mr.Chay.Canning. As they were quitting the transept and entering into the aisle of the Abbey,theii Royal Highnesiesturried round,shook hands with Mr. Chas. Canning, and addressed at paying some consolatory words both to him and his brother-in-law The members of the corps diplotnaligne were the next who left this :nautoleum of greatness, and were fol lowed at leisure by the various N9blemen and Gentle men who had walked in the procession. We never SAO' mote unfeigned sorrow than that which was eahi bired in the countenances of the actors in this mournful scene ; and the consequence was, that a corresponding feeling was excited in the breasts of those who were only spectators. The place in which they were assembled, holding in its precincts the sacred ashes of departed sages, heroes, patriots, and Kings, was of it self calculated to inspire sensations of melancholy regret, and to pioiuce a conviction of the frail and uncertain tenure on which all earthly grandeur and distinction is enj eyed ; and those sensations were aggravated in intenseness, and that conviction was brought more home to the perceptions of men on the present oecasion, by the reflection that the enlightened individual whom they saw committed to the grave full of honours if not of years, had raised himself by his owts talents from a comparatively humble condition, to the highest shun , tion to which a subject's ambition can aspire under a regular Government; and that, after he had un expectedly gained that proud eminence, he was shortly and suddenly called away from it, almost be fore lie could be said to have had time to explore the whole of the extensive prospect lying at his feet. He -who contrasts the " cold obstruction" in which Mr. Canning now lies, with the magnificent hopes which flourished in his view a few short weeks ago—only as it would seem to be the more nnpiteously readily acknowledge not merely the justice of the pa thetic exclamations in which Cicero vented his grief for the loss of Lucius Crassus, but also the extraordinary coincidence which existed between the closing fates of the Roman and British pail iot. " How fallacious are our hopes ;—how uncertain our fortunes 1 how full of vanity our noblest strugglel—which in mid career often break down and pee ish,and are forgotten, before we even gain • sight of the distant goal which we are labouring to reach. For in that very year in which LCr ',sus first attained the highest power in the State, after previously discharging all its minor offices—in that very year were all the pro- spects and projects of his life overturned and destroyed by death. That event covered his family with sorrow, his country with disappointment, and all good men with distress.* Yes, it is a proud consolation to the family of Mr. Canning to feel, that in this their hour of bereivement, they do not lament alone. All that is distinguished for science, and for learning, and for liberal sentiment, and for political ability, and for commercial wealth, and for hereditary rank in this great empire, sympathizes with their loss ; and the •ulgar, as they are sometimes superciliously called, embalm with their tears c —the tidiest tribute which they can pay to departed greatness,—the memory of him, who did not think himself too highly raised above their order" to feel for their wants, and to relieve their grievances. Evert lover of freedom in the old world and in the new,...-every friend to his species in every civilized naion ender beaven,—in short, every man, who has not thank, too deeply of The baleful dregs " Of these late ages, inglorious draught •• Of servitude and folly" and so " defiled the native honours of the human aottl,'' feels that he has lo,t in Mr. Canning an assoCiate, a protector, and a powerful benefactor.. •` While Freedom lives, his memory shall be dear. " Aud reap fresh booours each succeeding year; " Nations preserved shall yield immortal fame; " And endless ages bless his glorious name !" Whilst the corpse of Mr. Canning was yesterday undergoing the melancholy ceremony of entombment. an incident occurred which made a forcible impression on the minds of the spectators. When the Procession entered the porch, grrat difficulty was experienced for a minute or two in assembling the mournful cavalcade in the oeder in which it was to proceed into the interior of the Abbey. The coffin was accordingly placed on tres. eels, and, singularly enough, without the slightest in tention, the place selected was esactly underneath the monument of Mr. Pitt. This fact was pointed out to the rest by one of the distinguished individuals present, and the tear of regret fell fast from the eyes of those who, by this accidental circumstance, were led to draw a comparison between the assimilating talents of those two great Stitt men.

WING, a *omen, with *child in her arms and two others by her side, whose curiosity outweighed her prudence, was thrown down by a low fellow, on horse back, who I was riding at a furious rate down Patliament-street, when she was trampled on and severely kicked by the horse, and narrowly escaped being run over by a hack ney coach. The fellow was stopped by some of the spectators, but rescued by his companions, any' at length got clear off. FIRE Wonx&—An accident, attended with dap ' gerous, if not fatal consequence., occurred on Tuesday evening, at Newington, in consequence of•themischiev ous practice of letting off fire.works. Between eight and nine o'clock, as Mr. Walton, land-surveyor, resid ing near Knightsbridge, was returning to town, accompanied by his wife and a little girl of seven or eight years old, their child, in a single horse chaise, an unexploded cracker fell about 40 paces in front; and although Mr. Walton observed the fuze burning, he was unable to rein in the horse before it exploded, and the animal taking fright. darted off with the most ter rific rapidity, and the efforts of some persons, who wit nessed the occurrence, to arrest its progress rather seemed to increase than to diminish its pace, and it rate on with the most ungovernable fury, until the wheel coming in contact with a lamp post, the chaise was upset and the whole pasty thrown on the pavement with great vio lence. Neither Mr. Walton or the child sustained any injury, beyond a few slight bruises, but the Lady having pitched on her head and shoulder, v• ai taken up to all appearance dead; being promptly blooded, she :hewed signs of returning animation. The chaise was broken to pieces, and the horse so seriously injured as to render it valueless. .1 he author of all this mischief is at present unknown. STAGE Coacnea.—Friday afternoon the North Star coach, which kit Preston at three o'clock, was over turned in its passage to Manchester. The accident took place near the toll gate in Brindle, and was occasioned, according to our information, by tne rapidity with which the coach was proceeding. Tie coach was dragged a few yards after it fell, and a poor young woman's leg being at that time under the iron railing. was lacerated in a dreadful manner. A messenger having arri►ed in Preston with the intelligence, Mr. Clough, one of the proprietors, took Mr. Lodge, a surgeon, to render assist ance to those who mot require surgical aid. The dtiver bad his thigh broke—his name is Ball, and is a partner in the coach ; he keeps the Cheshire Tavern, in Bridge. street, Manchester. About an hour after the accident, the young woman's leg was taken off, but notwithstand• tog the beayskill, and attention was bestowed upon her case, she died shortly after the operation. The unfor tunate young woman was servant to Mr. Clayton, hoot and shoemaker, of Sogarlane, in this town. Mrs. Clayton herself was on the coach, and had her collar. bone broken. The proprietor sent her to Manches ter on the next coach, with a woman to attend on her, but she now lies at home dangerously ill, and not- likely to recover. A servant girl of Mr. Holden, who keeps the Pig's Head, in the pork shambles, in this town, was also on the coach, and got much shaken ; she was likeaise conveyed home •in the next coach, and is considered but just nut of dtnger. A child that was with its mother inside was also much hurt. An Inquest was held on the body of the girl on Saturday. and a serdi,t of Man slaughter returned against Mr. Ball, the driver. ft is stated that 'he vas driving at the time at a most furious rate. The unfortunate man is however beyond mortal account, for he expired on Sunday mos ping, and his remains were deposited in the New Burial Ground, in Rusholme-lane. Besid.s his thigh, his leg and arm were broken, and one of bit eyes knocked out 1---Nan . ehester Mercury. If t! 11 I 1
