THE LATE MR. CANNING. 1110GRAMICAL N'EMOIR CANNING OP TH6 RIGHT HON 01101i0li . the deep and general anxiety which prevails at t hi s moment, upon every topic ce•nnecred vetch the life or deed] of t e late Prime MINISTER, the foil.iwing h as ty ne nee of his personal and political career may not be unacceptable. Mt. George Canning, the father of the suhject of the Pr sent memoir, was an Irish barrister of respectability, who was related to the family of Garsagh ; and having displeased his wealthier relatives at an early age, by w h at they considered an imprudent marriage, he came beer to this country, where he entered himself in the s oc iety of the Middle Temple, but died soon after he had been called to the Bar, and without having bail an oppottunity of distinguishing *himself in hit profession. * The Garvach family, though deeply displeased with Mr. Canning s marriage, relented so fat, at his death, as to take care of his son George's educa tion, and the flume Prime Minister was placed-at Eton, where his progress was so rapid- as to obtain him I ditiguished rank among his contemporaries. From two Mr. Canning went to Oxford, where he studied at Christ Church, and distinguished himself principally as a Latin scholar, ga:riing several prices. And; from thence, coming to London, he entered himself a mems ter of Lincoln's Inn, and proceeded in due course, with a view to being called to the bar. At this time, how ever, the friAidship of Sheridan, who was then in his zenith, suggested ant:Atter career to him—ihe career of P°• - s z and at 23 years of age, he took his seat in Par- balmier, as member for the borough of Newport, in the lie of Wight. Prior to the commencement of his poliii ol prospects, and while he was studying for the bat, Mi. Canning, at several initiate societies, had acquired considerable reputation as a speaker. So much so, indeed, as to induce Mr. Pitt, to offer him the post if Under Secretaryship of State, which lie accepte d i n 1;96. and was accordingly returned for the Trea. arty Uorough of Wencliever. But he was some time in the Hots e before lie assumed courage to speak, al h ash so strongly supported ; for lie was returned to p IliAment in 1793, and his first effort was the speech ire I tenor of the subsidy proposed to be granted in 1794 ro the King of Sardinia, which was not at all io his best sole, and met with a reception more favourable than h e intrinsic merits, perhaps, deserved. About five years afterwards, too, in 1799, the young orator married Miss Scott, the sister of the Duchess of Portland, with whom he obtained such a fortune as gave him more standing in the country than he had heretofore possessed ;and he sentineled a vehement supporter, and occasionally an Ora one, of Mr. Pitt and his measures, until the latter sent out of office in the year 1803. The short ad. ministration of 'Mr. Addington and his colleagues was determinately opposed during its whiile existence, y Mr. Canning, whose talents. for ridicule exhausted itself upon the Premier's person,while the political mea earn of the Ministry were assailed by his logic and his oratory. At this time he sat for. the borough of Tralee ; and as he had gone out of s ffice with Mr. Pitt, so he re turned with that Minister in the new situation of Trea eater of the Navy, which office he continued to hold evil Mr. Pin's death in Ido6. On the death of Mr. Pat, Mr. Canning went into opposition again; 'but his telents rendered him invaluable to any Ministry which could obtain his assistance ; and it was not long before he found himself again in power with an accession of task, having joined the Duke of ,Portland, as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. It was in this capacity that he made his famous speeches upon the bombard roent of Copenhagen and the seizure of the Danish fleet.' And be also fought a duel, upon a dispute arising out 4.1 the conduct of theWalcheren expedition, with the late' Marquis of Londonderry, then LordCastleteagh,who wasl the Secretary for War and Colonies, which terminated in l Mr. Canning's being wounded, and in both parties going rot of office. It was Lord Castlereagh who gave the chal lenge; and at siz o'clock on the morning of the 21st Sept. 1809, the parties met near the telegraph, Putney•heath. l Loud Castlereagh was attended by the present Marquis d HertfoisS, and Mr. Causing by Mr. Ellis. Atter taking the j groOnd, they fired by sigma', sod missed ;' beano esplamation taking place, they fired a second time, 'hen Mr. Canning received his adversary's ball is his thigh. He did not fall from the wound, nor was it known by the seconds that he was wounded, and both parties stood ready to give or receive farther satisfac tion, when Mr. Ellis perceiving blood on Mr. Canning's leg, the seconds isiterfered. Mr. Canning was conveyed to his house, lilocestersiodge, at Bromp:on, where he was for some time confined; but as the bone of the thigh was not ft actured, he recovered sufficiently to attend the kree on the lich of October s and resign his seals of bfics, as did Lord Castlereagh also. 'the qua ref eat iced a considerable sensation among the fieends id both parties at the time; and it was under gobd that his lase Majesty expressed his strong disap- Irobstion of the practice of settling Ministerial disputes by sword or pistol. Mr. Canning addressed two letters to Earl Camden (which w ere published), defending the Put which he had taken in the affair; but the result "II his separation from the pasty with which he had acid; and not long after he made that which may Iss insidered as his first demonstration in favour of popular Pociples, by offering himself as a candidate for the relirtentation of Liverpool, for which place he was teted in 1812. Mr. Canning stood lour times for L'esrpool, and was each time elected, but never without s toot% opposition. On the first occasion he bad four antagonists, and his majority was 500; the numbers being for Mr. Canning, 1,631; for General Gascoyne, the se and member, 1,532; for Mr. Brougham, 1,131 ; for Mr. Creerey, 1,068; and for General Tar leton, 11. The second election took place after Mr. Canning's embassy to Lisbon, and very great exertions indeed s ere made to throw him out ; but he was neveriheless returned, alter a snuggle of three days, by the retire rnt of hi s opponent, Mr. Leyland; whose name, in . ed, had b een set up by the hostile party, in spite of " Mutual declaration that he was desirous nut to 7"ei The third election, of 1818, was distinguished ley a t estraordinery quantity of electioneering ma -Icoste, eighteen nowsinot candidates having been set _ on one side and the other, in addition to the foul tli 'mos ; the majority, however, of Mr. Canning, pi ss gre ater t h an on any occasion b e f ore. The last e ection of 1820 was less warmly contested, his chief °llament being a Gentleman of the name of Crompton. who succeed e d on l y i n o b ta i n i ng 345 votes. D ur i ng the latter years of his life, the termination of M.. Ca 'Ming Political auras seenied problematical, thought low persons, even but a short time since "mild have anticipated its Coming Si) early to a elute. 11 l 18; Pr he came into office as President ' ll4 Board of Control ; but lett England an strand ut , k d . i.lacc, rn preference to taliog pao. sin the proceedings against her Meje ty, the late . Queen. Subseq.sently, in 1822, he was named Governor f India ; and was on the point of Ugain quitting the coun try, having actually taken leave of his consti:nen:x At Li. verpool, for the purpose of pro :ceding to Bengal. At that very moment, ho ever, the death of the•bl srq•ris et Londonderry suddenly opened the situation of Se. tetany f v Foreign Aff airs to Lim, a o t wn.cti hr acceptes+, and held until the change e.•mequent upon the recent illness of the E rl of Liverpool, when - it was his fortune to at tain that high station to which his talents pre•erniasenti entitled him ; and in which a long list of valuable services to his country, have, we f;el lit.le doubt, been cut short by his premature and regretted death. It is a curious circumstance, that Mr. Canning died in the same house in which Mr. Fox breathed his last ; and, like tisk distinguished statesman, but a few montbs only afteP his last acceptance of office. He has left two sons alive, and a daughter. The latter is the present Marchioness of Clam icarde ; the elder son is a Captain in the navy ; the younger a lad still at school, who was brought from Yotk during his father's illness. As Mr. Canning has been repeitedly attacked upon the subject of the pensions granted to other members of his family —to his mother and sister--it becomes fair to add what be has said in his d fence. His answer to this charge was, that when he fist in 1803 from .the office of Under Secretary of State. I e was en ided to a pension of 5001. a yeas ; and that, instead fif taking that sum himse 1, he request •d to have it se.ticd upon his relations. MR. FOX AND MR. CANNING. _ Some curious coincidences mat k the latter days of Mr. Fos and Mr. Canning. About the nuddle of June, 1806-41'w months after having (turned an Adm ni,ti awn , of which he was the! the head—Mr. Fox made his 1.44 appeataiice in Parlia ment. I 1 August he was v:ith diffi ulty removeJ to the villa of the Duke of Devonsline, at Chiswick, where, after und -rgoing sundiy oper thins, he swat • alter breathed his last, aged .57 years some months. He was buried in a vault in Westminst r Abbey, near the remains f his great rival hit. At the latter end of June, 1827—also a few months after having been appi,inted the tic/Ad Of the Adminis• tration—Mr. Canning made his last appearance in Rai liAment. Illness assuming a sill more serious aspect.— (he had not been well since the Duke of York's funeral, and his agitations wee e increased hit becoming Premier) —Mr. Canning was invited by the Duke of Devonshire to reside at the fine villa, Chiswick, in the hope than change of air might renovate hi alth. He also there underwent several operations: but soon afterwards breathed his last—about Mr. Fos's age, dying, it is mentioned, in the saute loom in which Mr. Fos es . . plied. THE LORD HIGH ADMIRAL. PORTSMOUTH. Aco. 7. . . Last n ight there was a ball at the Royal Clarence • Roomi, Southsea, under the patronage of its Royal Highness the Loses Hems Anntaat. and which, we at. happy to say, was at tended by all the respectability of the neighbourhood, including all the Navy and army. It was so full (between four and five hundred), that it was difficult to keep a quadrille going. Soon after eleven their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Clarence eta. tared the room, sad continued epwards of an hour, occasionally geing sat to the beach, to view the fireworks on the land and water. —Several of his Majesty's cutters had been (tor the =earn)) moored directly off the Rooms, under the command of that valuable Officer Lier,tenant Hough, of the Cracker, and were cond.. nually, from 9AS 12, firing guns and letting off rockets and Mlle lights, which was also done from the top of the Semapbors, from which frequently 12 rockets were sent into the air at the same instant. Several royal salutes were fire/ from the French 56-pounders on the King's bastion. Two grand fire barns were let off-hy the hremaster on Soutbsea Beach. The town was beautifully it uminated in con sequence of the arrival of her Royal Highness th Duchess. The night was altogether the must magnificent that Purtmiouth ever witnessed. This morning, at nine o'clock, the troops formed on the ramparts; at ten o'clock her Royal Highness embarked on hoard the Royal Sovereign yacht, when a royal salute was fired from each of the batteries—viz. Platform, Spur Redoubt, and King's Bastion, as well as from all the ships at Spithead and in the harbour. The yacht proceeded to Hyde, Isle of Wight, where her Royal' Highness disembarked , and wee received by L ord Darnley. She then entered the carriage of Karl Spencer, and proceeded to his Lordship's house, to spend the day. At IS a.m. the Lord High Admiral iespected the Royal Marine Artillery, in disembarking a gun and carriage from a boat moored about 100 yards from the! share on Southsea Beach, on a new principle. He afterwards pro ceeded to Cemberland Fort, to witness mortar and shell practice of the same corps, after which he dined with the Lieutenant Go. vernor, Sir James Lyon. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

REVIEW OF THR KIRKCUDBRIGHT-SHIRR YEOMANRY CAVALRY. 'flats excellent Regiment of Volunteer Cavalry, under the corn- • mend of Lieutenant Colonel Gonnoe of Culvennan, marched into quarters at Castle Lhegiss. on Wednesday, the 25th ulr. for the tunnel period of permanent duty, and was reviewed un Tuesday last, in the park of Greentaw, by Lord Viscount Kannuae, Vice Lieutenant of the County, attended by several Military Nicer* and Deputy Usutenantr. The .Regiment mustered xsoirger than it has done for many years, IN being present in quarters. or, in other words, only seven men were absent of the whole t stablishnis sit of Wolino-commisdosied officers and privates. Corp.fhr went through all the eveluttose, and mow of the move. attests and attacks prescribed fur volunteer cavalry, with great ra pidity and precaion, and the intervals were preserved with asto nishing exactness in every formation and the !Marge, and halt s were highly eatolle.l by all the military (dicers present. After the review, Lord Kenmore expressed his approbation in the following words t—• Colunel Gordon, I beg you will communicate to the Officers and Regime. t the great satisfactioa I have received in seeing the :nips on the field thi, day. Its appearance and discipline are highly creditable to you. The rapidity of the movements, sod the • exactness of the formations. deserve the \tease prkioe, and nothing could surpass the excellency of the charges. Other corps of yen. mangy nay equal this regiment, but none can excel it. lam glad the corps nesters so strong; but I would be surpris e d if the:. were any vacancies, as I should think any Gentleman might be proud to belong to such a corps." After the Review, Lord Kenmore, with the Officers of the c or p s , and about fifty Lairs and Gentlemen II( the county, partuag or a collation at Greenlet". house ; and Sir Alexander Gordon, at the same time, entertained the Regiment in the Psrk with wine, ale, &e. At five o'clocic the Officers, and about forty Gentlemen of the county and town, sat dowe to dinner in the Town Hall of Castle Douglas, to which. as well as the previous mess dinners, Mr. Murray, of Broughton (the Major of the corps), sent an elegant dessert of pine-apples, grapes, Iltc. from his gardens at Cagy ; and the viands and wines, provided by Mr. Douglas, of the Dough, Arms, were of the best quality. In the evening, the corps gave a ball to the Ladit a and Gentlemen of the county and town, which was attended by Lord Crane. ouo, Mrs. Maxwell, of T e rru g hty, Mrs. Gordon, Mrs. Lockhart &lure, Mrs. Lamont, Mrs. Napier, Mt..
