CANNING'S ELECTION. V tLEBRATION OF THE ELECTION OF THE RIGHT HON. GEORGE CANNING. On Monday last a highly respectable company, tie friends o f a b ou t 400 F reem en and,Gentlemen, friends of Mr. CANNING, partook of an-ele- V nt dinner at the Liverpool ArmsHotcl.—The „ r ge room was suitably fitted up for the occasion, e front of the orchestra being beautifully deco rateds'i with a 'crown, composed of lamps, inter oved with wreaths of laurel; and at the other 11 4 of the room a transparency, presenting the d umber 1631, which was the number of Freemen t ,uo placed Mr, CANNING, with so large a majo-. lt Y, at the head of the poll. After dinner ." Non Nobis Donzine.".

There is . somethinf_ , in opposition which t! l itnates, but kindness only orerwhelMs -; and his rst fear in rising to address them w is, that he 3 '''ght not be able to finish what he might wish to as-the-expression of his own feelings, and in acknowledgments for those which they had :Pressed towards him. In a political life, of no I :ry short duration, be • observed, that he had f , 4 ny duties to fulfil; and LC had endeavoured to ‘ 1 1, 4 6.1 them to the best of his power: A new duty has now cast Upon him, to which he had hitherto teen a stranger—the duty of representing one of t greatest, most powerful., wealthy, and en "ehtened communities of this great kingdom. - A jty involving many minor duties, not only that being faithful to their interests, but true at the 4 4 : 1 1c time to the general interests of the. countr). the Representative of Liverpool, be represent tist` a great town, whose• greatness depended upon It eir commerce, and whose interests were inter ( °ven with that of the Empire. He, however, ff l u no difficulty in undertaking whatever was in Power to do; but . he was aware that he had 4 I leh to learn, much to study, much to require, t 'd much to balance in his own mind, and he it Nied to them with all those for whose interest s li t 'd from whom he was in a great mea sur e to d e - . h'e counsel and instruction. • There were opinions, I , s7 vever, in which - the .particular politics of this ; I ‘eat town must be intimately connected with.ge,. ti , 4 41 Politics. Commerce and peace were linked Oether. And it had been endeavoured to insinuated by his opponents, that they i:he could be the faithful guardians of . their i t erests. He admitted this as a general prin- Ph% Lovers of peace ! Who were not lovers peace ? In the abstract, who were adva iiitts of war, of famine,. or of pestilence ?-- t . . the ose who published these propositions knew T k Y were deceiving the 'audience they addressed. here amongst knew that the' questions . of peace and war amongStlthe most diffieult and complicated g 'estions that himan 'imagination could coneeive,l t ! ' human genius could:be called upon to disco angle. Those were not simple propositions of ele mentary truth. No, they were always inter 1v,,, v c) ven. with considerations and circumstances itch they well knew would perplex the• discus- t°n of those subjects with. difficulties whenever Irty were proposed ; but these they kept lout of ) %ht when they-wished to make an impression on: . Opular feelings: These men talk of peace in a to to of the world i n whi c h a ll those ties which 4 ,,,n 1 P05e the dements of society were weakened, t i'd almost rent asunder by .the uesolating prin.; . Nes of our enemy: They talk of peace, and of C- I rVt.' themselves, as the lovers anti advocates of peace, as absurdly as if an inhabitant of a West! India island, amidst earthquake's and 'volcanoes; should talk, of physical order and perpendicular position. Who does not love. light better' than darkness ? But when the storm is abroad for Our - poses inscrutable to us in the moral and physical worldwhen Providence has let loose upon us this scourge of mankind, to talk of loving peace in the abstract, would he a reflection upon the un derstanding of those men, if it did not call in question the heart. Absurd as the doctrine was, when applied to our state and the state of the world in general, with what aggravated:absurdity did it present itself to our view in a great com mercial town ? Peace—with whom ? With that Friend of Peace, with him who had fettered the commercial intercourse of mankind—and with him who had told them publicly that it is his ob ject to destroy that which Was'the foundation of their greatnes—that which is the glory of their State. They were not content with this absur dity ; they describe, in glowing colours, what are the sufferings of war ; and they f sin would per :suade us that those who, in spite of our suffer ings, would exhort us to persevere, are insen sible to the miseries of our fellow creatures. War had its miseries in the stagnation of commerce, and in the privation of many domestic Comforts ; who was the man that had a heart to look at them without being affected ? Ent he wished his adver saries would deal fairly. .War, he observed, was full of difficulty and danger ; yet it had its conso lations too. • But how happens it that those Gen tlemen invert the glass, when they, look at the victories of our enemies ? As they are presented to our view, we hoar no particulars of the miseries and privations .to which they sub ject the inhabitants of France ; but, on the other band, when they lOoked at our exploits, they turned the diminishing side of the glass, and presented us with a magnified view.of our miseries. But I would ask them, Whether the mother, in France, when delivered ofa male child, did not look forward to the 19th yeAr, when he was to be torn to ,pitiless destruc tion ? He would ask them whether agriculture was not languishing for want of male pOpulation ? The subjects of the conqueror are eon-Soled by glory ; but let us be mindful of their unhappiness; and in a war from which we cannot extricate our selves, let the perseverance which England has already so successfully exerted, be continued ; in a - war which had realized such victories as our past history might warrant us in expect ; but such as the boldest imagination durst not have conceived, and such as would be trans mitted by the, pen of the historian to the admira tion of posterity. ,If- peace could be obtained, God forbid that it should not be so ! but is peace to be enjoyed with the security of ileace ? It must be so enjoyed, or it would only substitute a temporaryrepose, to be followed by a more dread ful and destructive war. - -It had been said, and said wisely too, that character had its inconvcr niences, that a man of reputation dared not do a base action, though it might be advantageous ; and . to extend that remark from individuals to national, character, it might be safely asserted, that, when a nation forfeited its honour, it 'had forfeit ed its existence. Not such the opnions of our adversaries, who think that peace purchased at - any price is - preferable to war carried on with such sacrifices as we are making. if he thought the continuance of the present war adverse to com merce, he could not present himself with confi dence to a great commercial community, and he well knew that its interests were inseparable with the general interests of the Empire. He. said, they had been told that if they would vote for those Gentlemen, the streets of Liver Fool -would be full of the bum of industry, and that: all would be happy; peaceful, and tran quil. He .asked but one question in an •swer to that, which 'was, if England sunk, bow was Liverpool to survive ?—They had been told, and that very lately too, and. he (Mr. C.). had seen it echoed in publications which were understood to supptqt the opponents of their adversaries— that, if there was nothing in the wickedness of war, there was something in the hopelesSness of our case, that ought to induce as - to listen to terms of conciliation. They bad been told also, thatall the allies of Great tritain were-unfortu nate, but he should rather say that the converse of the proposition is true; that the unfortunate are, our Allies, that we had stepped forward in de fence of struggling liberty—to raise the fallen---4o protect the weak—and to uphold those who re lied wholly on our assistance to save them from the sword of the conqueror; but' in fact he (Mr. C.) saw nothing that impoVerislied or impaired the national hope—he believed that we still might have greater privations to endure,i)ut of this he was confident, that we could not be saved alone. It was our lot, that as the safety of the great corn- munity was interwoven with that of the ,country, so was that of England interwoven with the general safety of Europe and the civilized world. It had 'been imputed to those with whom he had acted, that though the evils of war had afflicted commerce, that — something was yet left by the enemy which might possibly he en joyed. The policy of. those Gentlemen had offer- ed him a solution to that question ; we were told that by surrendering those measures by which it was attempted to retaliate upon the enemy, we should conciliate America. The surrender had been made. whether improvidently or not it was not then necessary to argue ; that was matter of controversy ; that it was made fruitlessly, was matter of fact. He would not have it thought that he was of opinion that no amelioration could be possibly made in the internal state of this coun try, nor relief ahorded to the commercial interests. One advantage, be said, arising from the insulat ed state in which We had been placed by the success of the Decrees of the encitiy, was; that we had learned the more to look to our resources, and he trusted that there might yet be many bless ings in store for us. This led him to consider a question which bed been more fully commented upon by his friend, Mr. Gladstone—they might naturally suppose he meant the trade to And long before be had the slightest hope of pre senting himself to this town,the worthy Chairman knew that he entertained an opinion, that commer cial relief was to be derived to the general commerce of this country from the extznision of that trade. . rrf stated, that be OUght to gnard this aPiniiiii with two qualifications; the first, that great .as he thought that relief g(would eventtially be, he did not think it would be so 'extensive or so sud den as would be expected, and the.first thing 'to be guarded against with all those who engaged. in it , was—a too precipitate reliance 'on . the enjoy: ments of the good that might. he offered ; and, secondly, a, too great despondency if those first hopes should not be realized. He was afraid that the first adventurers would hope too much, but he trusted they would not despair too soon. He believed it was in the general nature'of commerce to find its own level, and much must be left to in, dividnal ' enterprize and industry : but he trusted. that the result would be, upon the whole, bene ficial. The Second qualification was, that we are not to 'consider, the question of the India trade as between the Company and the Country, and if we entered into the discussion with that Spirit, it would do injury to both ; but we were to consider our em;- pire in - India anomalous in the history of the world, not to be judged by general rules, .and not to be brought into the scope of general reasoning and judgment-'--an empire depending upon opinion. gentlemen of their commercial iinowledge, on such a subject as that, would - not expect much reasoning from him ; but he thought it desirable to express these heads of opinions under which that great and complicated question most be considered. He freely . owned that much remained for him to learn, and that he not only should thankfully re ceive, , but earnestly co ur t th e communications and advice.-of every individual amongst them. The queStiOns of war and peace, and the question of commerce, he obSered, necessarily lead 'hini to the mere particular consideration of that connexion which he had so auspiciously formed with this great commercial town. To have been called to such are - . presentation in such a Manner, would be; if his poli tical life' should terminate to-morrow, One athe most glorious ends that he could . have desired ; but when the commencement of their connexion was accompanied with a wish that it might be perpetuated; lie wanted the courage to re-echo that wish, hut he ought to re-echo it with some.; ' thing like consciousness of his own %volt of personal claims'.. He said that they had been told; that during the contest, all the exertions, and all the free, the liberal spirit of the contest had been on the side of their antagonists, and that none had voted for him but poor creatures under venal in fluence or tyrannical compulsion ! When he looked down the tables before him—when he view ed- the countenances of the youths of Liverpool, who had been militant in his cause—in their own cause, beaming with ingenuOuiness, spirit, 'and truth, be was furnished with a triumphant refuta tion to that assertion ; and that led him to suspect that. it was true on the one side and not on the other, and that the imputed ought rather to have been' the imputers. He . stated further, that there was a singular coincidence between in ternal and external subjects. God forbid that he" should impute to any Englishman that he was a friend to the enemies of his country.; it could not be. But unconsciuSly to themselves some simi larity of sentimmt will pervade their views : it is thus we have heard that Lords of the soil bare alone an interest in the Constitution of England— but all have alike an interest. Not the soi! only, not the 'hereditary possessors of acres only, but those also who by their honest industry and com mercial enterprize, raise those acres an hundred fold above their value. He really believed—be was- willing and anxious to believe, that those who used these arguments did not know how' exactly they corresponded with the doctrine of the ene= mies of their country, who told them that soil and territory - are the only just titles to the Empire of .the laud and of the sea. To this haughty opinion Great Britain had always answered, that though small, rocky, and comparatively barren', yet as she is mighty in herself, and powerful by the efficacious means which her commence affords,: she has a right to the trident of the ocean, the sceptre of the world. To both those arguments he returned the same answer—the right is in England to give, and commerce to share, the do mination of the soil: The arguments against fic titious greatness; and in- favour of natural right, are. in hoth instances the same, and he had no doubt of the coincidence being accidental, but it was singular and striking. He would not tres pass upon their time any-longer; and thanked - them for the honour done to him ; and when, in looking back, he could find little to' deserve it, and he could only look forward with hope that he might not• disgrace it. Police Regulations = ln consequence of the num ber of daring street robberies which have of late been committed, some of which have taken place in the early part. of the evening, by gangs who knock down the unwary for plunder, the Magis trates of the elifferent PoliCe Offices • have issued orders that .the Officers parade the streets until a given houi at night to watch and secure. offenders. In addition to this order, extra constables have been appointed for temporary services of this de scription, which, it is hoped,' wilt prevent these depredations in'future, and prove a check upon house-breaking, which has commenced with great activity. lIIETEOROLOOICAL JOURNAL BY R.

The wet weather iri the early part of last month has been somewhat unfavourable to the latter harvest : a f6r.fields of lath sown barley and oats have been exposed to the rains and considerable breadths of beans, in consequence of the large leaf and great quantity of sap produced by the late - fruitful season, required much field room before they were fit for_the cart. These are impressive lessons to farmerS, and inculcate the benefit of an early seed-time. The late rains have beenpropitious to the wheat sowing, which•is extending to greater breadth 4 than can be recollected for many years. The new wkeats yield well to the flail and of the finest quality : in many districts it is already ascertain ed', that the average produde Will be double than last year. Barley rises of a strong malting quality, and they 'yield abundant: Oats are a full corn, and very productive. Turnips, and all the brassica tribe, promise to, be very productive, and of prime quality. CARDIGAN' BOROUGH ELECTION.--State of the twelfth day's Poll For Hon: Colonel Vaughan • 500 For Mr. 14.

The merits of this Pen , former, in the vocal department, are too Well known to require any statement of his pretensions to public favour. "He well acquainted With the science of music, and'he has too correct a taste ; and too sound a judgment, to fall into the flou rishing style .whichis.Ao much in fdshion at pre sent. He sung the- Irqf Song with- such energy and expression.that he was encored. His acting was, as usual, marlied, by - plain manly sense.-:- , The audience were for a considerable time dis turbed by the clamours of many persons, who obh jected to the custom, Which has been prevalent among the Ladies, of placing their cloaks, shawls, &c. over the front of the boxes: Most of the Ladies, on learning the cause of the tumult, with becoming modesty withdrew their offending gar ments ; but two, who displayed more spirit than prudence or delicacy, held out, in spite of all the violence which assailed them. • One of them at last gave way, but the other maintained the most obstinate perseverance, thougli the clamour of the audience, who at last were in general. in censed-by her reprehensible perseverance, was se conded Liy the intreaties of those who immediately surrounded her. At length, however, having rea son to apprehend that more forcible measures would be adopted, she removed the cause of dis sensinn, and soon after left the' Theatre. The n!.6e of the intrepid Amazonian. had been cow riuniCated to the audience, and ,resounded in all parts of the Theatre, 'hilt we shall not insert it here, because we do not Wish to wound thv feel ings of her family, and because the foolish vanity which prompted her to resist the audience might be gratified in having it known to the public at large, It had been determined by the Covent-Garden Managers, that YotT - No and C, KEMBLE - should alternately play all the great characters left vacant by the recession of KEMBLE.—C, KEMBLE, upon this principle, began with Macbeth, and You , with gantlet, and the alternate performances which were to folio's', would doubtless have ex cited a spirit of emulation conducive to their mu tual improvement.. The eXpected return of KEM-^ BLE, however, will -of course put'an end to the arrangement. A supply of satidle blankets has been directed to be immediately furnished to the regiments of ca valry ordered on foreign service.
