In a letter from Mr. Russell,—contemplating the possibility of this occurrence during his absence—after "Pressing to me his desire to succeed to so honourable a position, and authorising me to act on his behalf, he con cludes by saying— ,, Every pledge which you may give of the determination I should really feel to promote, by all the means in my power, the best interests of the County of Durham, I should be anxious to redeem." I assure you, Gentlemen, of my entire conviction, founded upon all Mr. Russell's communications with me upon the subject, and I feel no hesitation in pledging myself, that if the choice of the County should fall upon him, he would jus.. tify so flattering a mark of its confidence by the most zealous efforts to promote its varied and important Inte rests, Agricultural and Commercial, with which his own are so extensively connected. With respect to Mr. Rus sere political conduct, I feel anxious that you should par ticipate in the perfect assurance I entertain that he will never be found to sacrifice, far objects of party or of private interest, any of those principles which form the basis of our Constitutional Liberties. I have every reason to hope and expect that, before the Election can take place, mr. Russell will arrive in England and confirm the assurances cd'vellich I am now the medium; but in the mean time I trust you will permit me to take the measures which may appear necessary for the accomplishment of this, the h ighest object of his ambition. of Jan. 5.) CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 9.—The Ambassadors of France and England at length embarked yesterday. All the efforts made to induce the Porte to accept their proposals have failed. The Marquis de Ribeaupierre, who embarked on board his ship before the other Ministers, had pre viously sent to M. Minziacky, the Russian Consul- General at Bucharest, instructions, in which he ac quaints him with his departure from Constantinople, and at the same time desires him not to leave Bu charest till farther orders, because his presence there still depends upon particular circumstances. The capital, in consequence of the precautions taken by the Government, remains tranquil, yet the Franks were not without uneasiness. sting into ppointed, ith power already in other vhi eh this with said mutually fitment of, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 7, 1828.

The Rates of this Society, which are lower than any offered to the public, are deduced from the Table of Mor tality, which the recent Report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons on " Friendly Societies," states, after the examinations of Messrs. Bailey, Babbage, Milne, Morgan, Gompertz, Naylor, Davies, Finlaison and other eminent Mathematicians, to he the best authenticated and most to be relied on, and hence the sufficiency of the pre miums of this Office are fully confirmed and firmly estab lished. The Lives of Persons afflicted with chronic and other diseases, not immediately fatal, are Assured at commen surate Premiums. Officers in the Army and Navy, and such persons as are likely to be called beyond the limits of Europe, are charged the ordinary rates until embarkation. and the foreign pre miuin is reduced on the return of the Assured to Great Britain, provided the healtl► of the party has not become impaired. Prospectuses, and all necessary infortUation, may be obtained at the Office. Solicitors and Agents are allowed the usual commission. MICHAEL SAWARD, Sec. FORTITUDE. With the exception of naval and military men, there is no class of the community who witness more examples of fortitude and personal courage than the practitioners of surgery.— What greater proof can be given of confidence and courage, than that with which a person sur renders himself, blindfolded, and bound hand and foot, to the knife of the operator ? Every day in the week this great metropolis produces, in silence and in secrecy, acts of heroism, of strength of mind, and firmness of purpose, that would do honour to an ancient Roman. I have witnessed many in both sexes ; and although the first amputation I ever saw had nothing of the "sublime or the beautiful" to recommend it, yet it affords an illustration of the observation, from low life, of how much the mind may be under controul, even during great bodily pain, and ttle bitter anguish of the sudden loss of a limb. " How do you find yourself, Mrs. Judy ?" said a Saint Bartholomew's surgeon, after taking off the arm of an Irish basket-woman. " How do I find myself? why, without my arm—how the d—l else should I find myself?" was Mrs. Judy's reply. In another operation, shortly afterwards, of much more importance, the force of female character was evinced in a different manner. A lady, of some consequence —of the highest order as to intellectual endowments—had occa sion to submit to one of the most serious, pain ful, and protracted operations that the sex can be sub ject to. Her case was a source of deep intere st to all her friends, of the most bi tter ang uish to her near and dear relatives. When (4 . an operation became decided, the necessity s h e determin e d on the speedy and secret execu tion of it, and arrangements were made of her own by whi c h her physician, three surgeons, and myself, t h en a surgica l aide-de camp,introduced were into the house, and the plaining, operation performed, without the knowledges o u f c a ce n ss y fu o l n ly e of her own family, or_the cognizance of any of a large establishment, ex cepting her own maid.—London Medirael Gazette, Jan. 5, IS-28. .N MARK.

(From a Vera Cruz Paper—El vera Crusiano Libre, October 19.) George Canning exists no more ; the diplo matist bfore whom the political directors of the most enlightened nations bowed, occupies now only a small sepulchral corner! The friend of the people, the lover of mankind, and the hope of these countries that pant for liberty, has paid the painful and inevitable debt of nature. Our eyes ought to fill with the pure tears of gratitude. Our hearts, the hearts of free Mexicans, must mourn for the tomb of the consummate politician and liberal European, who, rising superior to the prejudices of that hemisphere in which he first saw the light, knew how to give due splendour to the sacrifices of the Mexican States, and to consolidate work, for which we are indebted to the heroes of our glorious revolution, in defiance to the Holy Alliance, paralyzing its threatening arm ; and, lastly, completing his work by con vincing the aristocracy of Europe that their reign was at an end. This is due to the virtues and talents of him who knew quietly to command the people only by uniting himself with them by the bonds of philanthropy and knowledge. The name of Mr. Canning has thus become insepa rably connected with the history of Mexico. The tears of all Americans and other freemen will ever moisten the tomb of Mr. Canning. The Portuguese and the votaries of the European liberty, who still eat the 'bread of the beneficence of this distinguished man, whilst weeping the death of their protector, must crown his tomb with civic laurels, and indelibly engrave his tomb stone with the following inscription : " Here lies the friend of all men, Theman of humanity, The consolation of our troubles : In this place our hopes lie buried." Justice requires this. There is scarce one of the mighty upon earth that requires such a tribute. Conquerors and monarchs ever crave it, and slaves in their self abasement are ever ready to yield it. Not so the immortal Canning. Thy virtues, thy deeds, and thy talents, will not allow any to dispense with these feelings, and to refrain from weeping. The Americans in general, and we in particular, will write on thy tomb-stone the following motto : To the liberal of both worlds. To the friend of the people of Columbus. The tribute of eternal gratitude of the Mexicans . The death of Mr. Canning must be noted In the history of Mexico Amongst national calamities." SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL.

" So many false statements having appeared in the Newspapers concerning my apprehension and examination relating to the murder of my lamented mother, I think it my duty to lay a correct state ment of facts before the public, in justification of myself. "On Friday, the 28th of December, I saw my mother for the last time, at the house of Mr. Lett, 11, Montagu-place. We took refreshment (a lunch) about 12 in the morning. We took leave soon after wards in the most affectionate manner. She asked me on parting, " When shall I see you again ?" I told her in the course of a day or so. On Monday morning, December 31, at about six o'clock, I left my house in Cursitor-street, and proceeded to Leaden hall-market, to meet Mr. Henry Knight (no relation) to introduce me to a person who had some feathers to dispose of. Mr. Knight was not there when I arrived, and I called again, and saw him, bout seven o'clock. I returned home about eight. I went from my home to Piccadilly about ten o'clock, and got upon a Brentford stage. I arrived at Brentford-end, and took some refreshment at the Angel public-house, I then proceeded to Longford on foot, a distance of seven or eight miles from Brentford. I stopped at a small public-house on the road-side and had some beer, and inquired for a Mrs. Jackson, a poul teress, who I understood resided there ; I was informed that she did not, but a person named God frey lived there, who dealt in feathers. I went to Godfrey's house about the middle of the day, and saw Mrs. Foote, of Twickenham, a poulteress, there, and we drank some brandy. I left Longford on foot, and called on Mr. Batt, who deals in poultry, near the Cricketers, Hounslow. I there partook of bread and cheese and beer. Coming down the town of Hounslow, I met the Prince Don Miguel and suite; it was then getting towards dusk. On passing a public-house at Hounslow, a boy asked me if I was proceeding to London, as there was a return chaise going thither ? I said that I was, and the post-boy made his appearance, and asked me half-a crown to carry me; I offered him eighteen pence, which he refused to take. I was told there was another return chaise coming to London, and having waited some time the chaise appeared, and a lady and gentleman entered it as well as myself. "We stopped at the Bull public-house, at Hammersmith, about six o'clock, and we alighted and treated the post-boy with liquor. We again entered the chaise, and the lady and gentleman got out, I think, at Sloane-street. I was put down in Piccadilly, about the hour of seven o'clock, and I walked directly to my home. I arrived there about half-past seven, and proceeded from thence into the Waterloo-road, Lambeth, to the shop of Mr. Jones, a pawnbroker. I left his shop a little after eight o'clock, as far as my memory serves me, having a watch in my pocket at the time. I came from thence to Johnson's beef a-la-mode shop, in Clare-court, and took some refresh ment. I remained there about 20 minutes or half an hour, returned home, and arrived there before 9 o'clock. I had some porter, and went to bed at about half past nine or ten o'clock. On the following (Tues day) morning I got up about three o'clock ; I mis took the light of the moon for the light of day, and supposed it was about seven o'clock ; though I bad intended to rise early, having made an appointment to see a person named Batt, on business, at Brent ford market. I left home shortly after three o'clock, and proceeded on foot towards Brentford; I stopped at a house where waggoners bait their horses, at Hammersmith, and had a pint of porter; I re mained there till past five o'clock, and walked to Brentford, where I arrived soon after six o'clock; went into a public-house opposite the market-place, where Mr. Coleman, of Hounslow, a poulterer, came in. He asked me if I had come from -London that morning ? I said " Yes, I have walked from thence." I went into the market-place, and conversed with - several dealers in poultry, on business, but did .not purchase any feathers of them. I left Brentford by the stage between eight and nine o'clock, and ar rived in London, at my own house, to breakfast, by ten o'clock. About eleven o'clock I went to Leadenhall-street, and from thence, between twelve and one o'clock, to Stratford, in Essex, and returned to town about three o'clock. About eight o'clock the same evening I was in my apartment assorting some feathers, when the officer Furzeman, and Mr. Lett's servant came, and asked me where I had been, and when I had seen my mother ? I informed them that the Friday preceding I had called upon her. I was informed that my mother was dead and requested to go with them to Mr. Lett's house, which I willingly consented to. On going up stairs, Furzeman informed me that she was murdered. I exclaimed, " What, murdered !" My wife and daughter burst into tears, and I was so affected that I can scarcely recollect what further was said at that moment. He asked my permission to search my apartments (he having no warrant), and I told him he was perfectly at liberty to do so. I accompanied Furzeman to Mr. Lett's house, and saw Mr. Lett and Mr. Halls, the Magistrate of Bow street. They interrogated me as to where I spent my time on Monday and Tuesday. I then made the statement as given above, as well as I could un der the unfortunate circumstances in which I was placed; I was not asked either by the magistrates or the officer, to view the body, but was taken from thence to St. Giles's watch-house; I attended the inquest, expecting to be examined, but was not called in, nor is it true, as has been stated, " that I went with considerable reluctance to the Gower (Montagu) Arms to view the body;" neve,• having been at that house in my life except at the inquest ; nor,had the body, to my knowledge, been removed from Mr. Lett's until its interment this day. After the Jury returned their verdict, I was not " set at liberty, because the Magistrates could not legally detain me after such verdict," as has been so ab surdly stated; but I was taken from thence to St. Giles's watch-house. At eleven or twelve o'clock the same night I was discharged at Mr. Hall's house; and returned home. When I was set at liberty, I stated that I was ready at any time, to go with the officers wherever they might think proper, to prove the truth of my statement. It has also been stated in a Morning Paper, " that I had pawned a medal (the duplicate of which was found upon me, or at my house) in Waterloo-bridge-road, at the pre cise thee when I had stated to the Magistrates that I was at Longford." This is a gross and pal pable falsehood. The object of my going with Furze man to Mr. Jones's shop, in Waterloo-road, on Thursday night, was to give him an opportunity of ascertaining whether I had been there on the Mon day night, at the time I had stated. I ought to add, that I required no prevailing to induce me to go to the pawnbroker's. I have certainly just cause of complaint against the whole of the garbled statement which appeared in the morning papers of this day. I can flatly contradict the whole, sentence by sen tence, and paragraph by paragraph ; and 1 have also the authority of the police-officers for stating, that it is false from beginning to end. I did not re turn from the pawnbroker's on Thursday night to St. Giles's watch-house, but I went home. I now proceed to notice a paragraph which must have emanated from either gross folly or unkindness. It is this : " He (meaning myself) was then taken into custody at eight o'clock yesterday (Friday) morning, by order of Mr. Halls, to whom Furzeman had com municated the result of his inquiry at the pawn broker's. _ The prisoner was ordered to be . lodged in a room in the watehhouse, and in consequence of a visible alteration in his manner, it was deemed ex pedient that some perso n should continue with him during the whole of yesterd a y. Hi s manner , w h en custody, while it evinced but little f, ti ve r ae s sl t i na gt taken the for s into e tai e ti meso candid,' as to ra i se an im pression horrible d eat h o f hi s age d mot h er, in his favour. On his second apprehension, however, his Conduct underwent a remarkable change. He appeared lost and confused, and con tinually trembled, as though he was affected with the ague." On reading the above, I certainly was " lost and confused," and could scarcely credit my own senses. I did not believe it possible that so unfounded a statement could have made its way before the public, ir, a Journal laying claim to respectability. It is a falsehood that I was . ever taken into custody after my discharge on Thursday night, at the house of Mr. Halls. I was not apprehended on Friday, nor was I lodged in the watch-house of St. Giles's that day, and therefore it could not have been deemed expedient " that some person should continue dur ing the day, to prevent thy laying violent hands on myself." The whole paragraph is an abominable invention. But to proceed :—lt is asserted that it was with great reluctance I was induced to go to the Gower (Montagu) Arms to view the corpse. I certainly was at Mr. Lett's house on Friday, and was asked, with my son, if we would see the mangled remains of my poor unfortunate mother, and I pro ceed to give as correct a description of what occur red on that occasion as the recollection of a spec tacle so harrowing to the feelings of a child will al low me :—I did not " protest strongly" against viewing the corpse of my unfortunate parent. I stated that my wife had expressed a wish that I should not see the body, or follow it to the grave, be cause I was so very unwell on my arrival at home on Thursday night, and also on Friday morning. When the body was exposed to my view, Mr. Halls said to me, " As you are now over the body of your de ceased parent, I ask you if you ever saw this article (producing a sort of miniature painting) before ?'' I replied to him, " As there is a Supreme Being, I solemnly declare, so help me God, that I never (lid :" my feelings, no doubt, were sensibly acute on seeing the remains of a beloved parent, but it is not true " that I was like an insane person." After viewing the body on Friday, about the middle of the day, I took some tea with my son and Furze man, and I started at six o'clock ih the evening, in a chaise, with Furzeman and Gardner, for Twicken ham. It was proved there, by Mr. Foote, of Twickenham, and others, that I was at Brentford, as I had stated, on the Tuesday morning, and I sup pose it was not deemed necessary to go further, and we did not proceed to Longford, but returned to town about one o'clock last night. I trust that those newspapers which have given circulation to the false statement will give my contradiction. THE LATE MR. GRAHAM. The American Papers state a melancholy in stance of the danger attending the indulgence oi • impetuous temper, and of the criminal absurdit)• of the system of duelling —The case alluded to is that of Mr. Wm. Graham, who was shot in a duel at New York, on the 28th of November last, by a Mr. Barton, with whom he had some silly quarrel at a convivial meeting. The fate of Mr. Graham may possibly interest some of our readers, in consequence of the fact of his having been at one time a resident of Plymouth, and connected with the paper (since discontinued) called the Plymouth Chronicle. He was a native of America, and was destined for the law, but '' a truant disposition" led him from serious studies, and at an early age he left his home for England. In the year 1810, he landed at Plymouth, and 'brining an acquaintance with Mr. Redding, the editor of the Plymouth Chronicle, he was engaged to assist that gentleman in his editorial labours. This occupation, however, not answering his expectations in a pecuniary point of view, he, after some time, relinquished it, and urged by a pen chant for the stage, he made application to the then proprietor of the Plymouth Theatre, Mr. Foote (father of the celebrated actress), and solicited employment as au actor. Mr. Foote, finding him a fine gentlemanly young fellow, with a good edu cation, gave him an opportunity of trying his his trionic talents: and Mr_ Graham made his debut in Frank Heartall, in the Soldier's Daughter, at the Old Plymouth theatre. He supported the character in a manner which gave reason to ex pect that he might eventually become a good actor ; but he had, amongst many obstacles to contend with, a strong American accent and mannerism ; and, therefore, Mr. Foote, con ceiving that the young man's talents, if employed in another line, would lead him to prosperity with more quickness and certainty than could be expected from a pursuit of the stage, advised bin) to turn his attention again to literature. This advice would probably not have been followed but for an .occurrence which put choice out of the question. Just at that time America de clared war against England, and an order came down to Plymouth, to place all Americans •in durance vile. Mr. Graham was, with'consider able difficulty, kept out of the way of the police officers, and enabled to make his retreat to Lon don, where, owing to an introduction furnished him by Mr. Foote, lie became acquainted with the late Mr. Purdon, who assisted him in his literary pursuits, and, dying, left him a fortune of upwards of 1,500/. This fortune, however, he soon contrived to dissipate, either by unfor tunate speculations, or by gaming—and he was again driven to his pen for support. H e con tinued for some- time reporter for some of the London papers, and finally he left England for his native country, and became assistant editor of the New York Enquirer. In that employment he continued to the time of his death.—Ply mouth Journal. IMPROMPTU ON DR. COOK'S EPITAPH ON DR. IC ITC HEN.

To the news from Constantinople already given; we add the following details, furnished by the Augsburgh Gazette, in a letter dated Bth Dec.,. in the evening : " Messrs. Guilleminot and Stratford Canning had quitted the Porte at two o'clock in the afternoon, and at five they were out of sight. The north wind still detained M. de Ribeaupierre at the entrance of the canal. Before they left their hotels, the Ambas sadors of the three Courts had repeatedly asked for their passports. The Reis Effendi caused them to b.e answered that the Porte would m a ke no diffi cu l t y in delivering firmans to them if they could show orders from their Courts for the step they were going to take ; otherwise it must be ignorant of their de parture, though it did not intend to throwany obstacle in the way of it. "However, orders were given underhand to respect vessels of the Ambassadors. It had not transpired that they met with any difficulty. M. de Ribeau pierre, it is said, gave his two colleagues, before hi , .; departure, the assurance that if the Porte respected in its full extent the Convention of Akermann, and did not, by some inconsiderate step, compromise the protectorate of Russia over the two Principalities, the Russian Cabinet would conscientiously execute the Convention of the Gth July." The Gazette quotes from the Journal des Dela 13 and other papers the lists which they give of the future Ministry, on which it remarks :—" Our readers see what the public Journals contain on the day of yesterday (sur la journee d'hier.). The illoniteur says nothing." (From the Constitutionnel of Friday.) WaasAw, DEc. 20.—(Private Correspondence.) —The Polish army, 40,000 strong, and well dis ciplined,—a part being • old soldiers, is on the eve of: setting out to join the great Russian army about to enter Turkey. . The staff of the Quarter-Master-General Traavenstrauch, has already departed with the advance-guard, consisting of foie: regiments of lancers, under the orders of Prince Adam de Wurtemburg, grandson of Prince Czarto riski, and of the brigade of General Count Krako wicki. The division of Lieutenant-General Count Stanislaus Potockis will follow immediately after ; and a division of cavalry, commanded by Lieut.- General Weissenhoff. The corps in reserve is under the orders of Lieut.-General Count de Krasinki, with a considerable park of artillery. Although, consistently with the Constitution, the Polish troops cannot be employed out of the king dom, they have solicited the favour of participating in the glorious struggle against the oppressors of Christianity; and they have insisted the more ear nestly, as perhaps, on the result of this struggle de pends the future condition of our unfortunate coun try. The opportunity now presents itself of reali zing the hopes held out to us by the Emperor Alex ander. I mean the re-establishment of the inde pendence of Poland, a condition on which depends the future repose of Europe, and universal peace; for such a re-establishment would dispel the appre hensions of all the other great powers, :yid get rid of the apparent necessity of keeping up large standing armies. Such a re-establishment would, in fact, re , pair the wrongs done to our nation, and make firm the balance of power, without, in the least, compro mising the interests of any. When the emancipation of Greece is spoken of, the question of restoration and reinstatement of the noble Sarmatic nation deserves serious vonsidera don, and ought to be maturely deliberated by every one of the Cabinets. The King of Prussia, united in interest .with the Autocrat of Russia, must be fully convinced of this truth ; and we do not entertain the least doubt but that this Prince would make great sacrifices for the accomplishment of so great a work. The marriage of Prince William, son of the King of Prussia, with Princess Eliza Radziwill, the issu e of one of the most ancient and princely houses of Poland, and descended from the race of the Jagel lons, as well as the journey of the Prince to St. Pe tersburgh, afford, at this moment, ample grounds for conjecture. The Poles, in particular, conceive new hopes from this singular coincidence of circumstances. It is said that the Cesarowieli and Grand Duke Constantine, General-in-Chief of the Polish Army, has recommended to the clemency of his brother those Poles compromised by the Russian conspiracy„ and it is expected that the latter, after judgment is pronounced by the High Tribunal of the Diet, will obtain a pardon. Thelish army will be extended along the fron triers of Gallicia and Boukowine, as far as Chcczim, there to await the further developenient of the plan of operation. In this position it will be easy to procure provi sions for our troops from the fertile districts of Gal, licia, for our fellow.countrymen, the inhabitatif:s of that country, are animated with the same lmpes and patriotic feelings, and will be happy. to see the na tional troops in their neighbourhood.
