GIMTLIMEN, THE Event contemplated in my former Ad -a. dress to you, as likely to create a VACANCY in the REPRESENTATION of your COUNTY, having now taken place, it becomes my duty to state, that the numerous and cordial assurances of support which I have received for Mr. RUSSELL, inspire me with the utmost confidence that, on the day of Election, your Suffrages wilt justify the offer of his services to fill that Vacancy. I beg leave to renew my assurances, founded upon those which Mr. Russell has repeatedly expressed to me, that if he should attain the high honour to which he aspires, • Le will earnestly devote himself to the important duties with which it is connected ; and I may add my conviction, that he will, by his conduct in Parliament, effectually re present that independence which has constantly charac terized the Freeholders of the County of Durham. There has not been time for any answer from Mr. Rus sell to my communication of the step I had taken on his t e half, but I do not doubt his immediate return to Eng ld on the receipt of that communication.

If they had been, they would not have subjected:me to the con-. elusions which have been pretended .by some, and appear to have beets really drawn by others, respect ing the spirit of my intercourse with :Lord Syron. l have been represented as a man capable of violating the confidence of friendship, and giving an unfavour able portrait. of a hest who had treated me with nothing but kindness. 4.wi1l venture, to affirm, 'Sir, "that nothing, to a pemon of my turn of mind, could be more impossible. No" man holds in greater horror than I do the violation of the sub iisdem trabibus— the sacred enclosnrsof private . .wails. I have - not even dared,.in my time, to enjoy the delight I should have found at more than - one table, purely because I knew that it would be inipossible for'me afterwards, as a public man, to hold any opinion of my host but a gratefsil 'one: - 'lt might be expected that I should despise an' accusation of this sort ; but people do not despise 'half as much as is pretended; and l confess it has vexed me, with all its absurdity. One does not like to be:thought ill of by any body, much less to be subjected to the hazard of it in the whole heart of a commiinity I thought of leaving my book . to answer for me, and not taking aay notice of the misrepresentation, unless repeated after a sight of it ; but thousands will have read the extracts who wily not seethe book ; and it is on their account that I shall trouble,yon with some further remarks. I will put noose in illustration of my position with Lord Byron, and shew the cruelty of it besides, as affected by his 'character in particular. Suppose a rich merchant invites another merchant out to set up a joint concern with him ; and suppose the latter a Man with a wife and large family; and at the lowest .ebb of his fortunes, .The rich merchant advances 'the other two hundred pounds to bring him out (taking care nevertheless to - get a 'bond for it from a friend); and • after he 'is arrived, the loss of the beloved friend who gave this bond forces the poor man to accept- from the rich one farther 'sums, from time to time, amounting in. ell'tO otke. hundred more. The joint-concern in the meantime goes on, but is trifled with by the invitoris even injured by him in a variety of ways, is suffered t . .') be calumniated. and undermined by him with his friends, and finally is abandoned by him in the course of the year for an expeiiment in a remote quarter, and:apart from any consideration or:the , person iitvitedlout. 'lt is true, the rich man declines receiving his part of the profits of the concern ; but it is only because they turn out to be`,.nothing like what he expected; and when he leaves it, and might still do . it . ,service, and so keep his own proposed work dive, he never has .another NI" ord- of communication with 'the parson' whom he invited out, and whom he had found destitute ; and left so.

Great Orm's Head, Jan. 22. 7 —At four p.m. one ship off Jere, homeward bound ; she did not, however, show .her number. This is a literal picture of the state of the case between Lord Byron and myself ; but the worst part of the spirit of it remains. I had Oarcely put up under the same roof with his Lordship. (and ,the nature of that occupation of a floor in his house is explained in my book, and was very different from any thing like entertained by him as his guest) than our " host," if he is so to be called, commenced his claims upon our delicacy by writing disagreeable letters about us to his friends. When I subsequently remonstrated with him on this subject, he answered me that it was his way, and that he had " libelled his friends all round." It is true I did not know of these letters at the time; but his libels of his friends were very soon manifest: the symptom was not encouraging; and the tempers he thought fit to try upon me in my poverty, pre. pared further for what I had to expect. This was almost in the very first days of our intercourse. 1 had hardly been under the roof with him at Pisa, when a very distressing communication from Eng land forced me to urge him upon the subject of the intended work, and to beg as it were, in charity, the assistance which he ought to have come forward within pursuance of his own proposal. He thought it sufficient to answer, that his friends had already been " at him," to persuade him to have nothing to do with the work; and he was wanting enough to his dignity to taunt me with making him a party to certain distresses which had been communicated to me in the letter from England, though he knew how much they were bound up with my own, and had had my confession that I had assisted to cause them. This, however, is a matter which it is im possible to enter into, and which does not, of neces sity, belong to the question. I only allude to it, • that I may shew the melancholy of my position with him from the first, and how" sure he was to make me feel it. In this manner his first contribution to his own work was made to appear a sort of forced obligation, though he was delighted to have the opportunity of printing it; and though, in the sanguineness of the moment, and the non-experience hitherto of what confirmed our forebodings, we slid our best to entertain a good,opinion of him, and to make others partake of it. Most calamitous was it on every account that at this early juncture of our intercourse, my beloved friend, Mr. Shelly, was torn from me. I was thrown per force, on Lord Byron for his assistance : he even offered it; and bitter indeed, for the first time in my life, was the taste I then had of obligation. The specimen I have mentioned in my work will suffice, and may be repeated. My family lived in the most economical Italian manner, and tried hard not to force me to apply to him for much. In fact, I ap plied to him for little, and he put me under the ne cessity of asking even for that in driblets, and for those he.sent me every time to his steward. My cheek seems to burn against my paper as I write.— Yes, I have to confess that I have tasted indeed the bitterness of that prophecy of the poet's addressed to himself, that he should know " how hard it was to ascend the steps of another person for bread."— Let the exquisite mortification of confessions like these, excuse me with the happier and the more in dustrious—l may add, with the healthier and the better taught : for the commonest rules of arith metic were, by a singular chalice, omitted in my education. I do not agree with the writer, who spoke the other day of the " degrading obligations of private friendship." God forbid I should be such a traitor to those whose friendship elevated while it assisted me, and whom it is a transport to me, when ever I think of it, to have been indebted to. I see beyond that. But I am bound to say that I have not the less altered my practice in that particular ; and not the less do I agree with the eloquent after saying of the same writer, that it is " comely, and sweet, and exquisite," to be able to earn one's own sufficiency. I only think, especially in behalf of those who can enjoy leisure as well as business, that it should not be made so hard a matter to do so, as it very often is, by the systems of society and by the consequences they have in reserve for us, even before we are born, and in our very temperaments as well as fortunes : and I think also that the world would have been losers, in a very large way—far beyond what utilitarians suppose, and yet on their own ground—if certain men of lively and improvi. dent genius, humanists of the most persuasive order, No. 11,036.

But I did not sit dow n to this letter, Sir, to take up your time with theories. 1 have written even more than wasvanencieyssainrytevf.ocrout7h.see r 7 e v a i l tii aofnylohpe b7iroickrif it which was to say-that nob o d y has a right to judge o P rd st .ll -' Byron ro it in question; a f of r n e d n th i th p e a a t s r p r ti i a p r 7t.oextet againstcts otit whatso ever,st unproduced by , an acquaintance with the work I may put a case in the n - iezto time, if I please; and ask the reader what he think s , on the face of it, of my claims on Lord Byron as a partner, invited to set up a work with him under all the cir, cumstances, and of my right to speak as freely to the vublic of him, as- he spoke secretly and under hand of lite. But for`a complete view of the case I must refer him, (if he chooses to judge the matter) to the book itself, • and to all the evidences it con tains, for me or against : for of one thing he may be certain—that every jot of it' is true. I love truth with a passion commensurate to what I . think its 'desirableness, above all other things, for the se, curity of good to the world; and if I did not, I shonld love it the trouble it saves me in having but one story and one answeffOr all men, and being a slave to nobody. I have a word, however, to add, with regard to those who have hitherto thought fit td - make Objec tions to my book, without knoWing the whole of it. —Some of these, I have been told, are really con scientious men, who are kind enough to entertain an ill opinion of me with pain ;' . .and I can believe that partial extracts might possibly have led them into that opinion. Ail that I complain of in this case is, that they did not sufficiently think of their conscientiousness, when they expressed the opinion without knowing all I had to say. Some of them, I believe, have - already become sensible of their mistake; and are waiting to do me justice:— As to the other anonymous writers, who have at tacked me in a different spirit, I concede even to them the possibility of their having come to a similar conclusion, out of the same partial de gree of knowledge. I will at present not stop to in quire how far they were led into It 'by motives of their oWn.• tut -I warn them how, upon a better acquaintance with the work, they renew the same kind of attacks ; as, in that case, I shall be compell ed to let the public see, not only the whole amount •of what - I have to object to them on my own part, bat what their pretended hero thought and said of them on his, And this, if they insist upon it, it will only be less easy for me to do, that it is to spare them in - the mean time. I will then answer both their verse and their prose, if they please; and :the public shall see who has the worst of it. Though I have told nothing but the truth, I am far from having told all the truth—and I never will tell it all. Common humanity would not let me. But I .will not have my very forbearance turned against me by those Whose sufferings 'Would be tragic to themselves only, and comic to all the rest of the world. It has been said that I undervalue the genius of Lord Byron, and think too highly of myself at the same time. I belieVe, that when I speak seriously, I am in the habit of using a tone of dedsidn and. Confidence, which may produce mi . sta.kesi on that point. It is owing to my having some decided opi nions,And an exalted view-of what may be done for the world ; and it was the absence of such views in Lord Byron, and the presence of an eternal persi flage and affectation, that led me to think of what was petty instead of great in him, and perhaps really made me undervalue his genius. I can only say, that I heartily wish his head may have deserved all the laurels that were stuck about it ; to the con. cealment of his coronet, according to some, who nevertheless can never separate the two ideas. My own talents, unfortunately (if I may speak of such things), I am not so conscious of, as I am of their having fallen far short of what I once hoped they would turn out. I have many infirmities, and nothing great in me but my sympathy with man kind. It is for this only I desire 'any honour I pre tend to; and this, I allow, I cannot shut up, as I would an opera hat, and convert it into a piece of deference to the circles. After all, Sir, I had no intention in writing my book but to give a true portrait of Lord Byron, as of a human being interesting to the times he lived in, and worth painting at any time. My spleen came across me, I own, as I called him to mind ; if I had been actuated by ordinary motives, I should have done it when I first returned to England, and made, as the phrase is, "a good deal of money by it;" which is what, in the ordinary sense of the phrase, I cannot be said to have done now. My bookseller had pleased me by advances of money ; and it was a series of circumstances connected with that liberal treatment, which finally led me to make the book what it is. I have related them in the preface, if any body thinks it worth his while to know them. I wish, in his good nature to others, and hi exceeding notion of mine, Mr. Collmirn had not hazarded doing me a very painful disservice with my readers, by omitting, in its passage through the press, a concluding line or two in my notice of Mr. Theodore Hook. I had no wish to say any thing at all of Mr. Hook, and could, with pleasure, have omitted the whole notice of him, had Mr. Colhurn wished it. But after my pleasanter recollections of him (as they now stand unqualified in the book), ir became doubly necessary not to omit the drawbacks I had to make on a writer of his outrageous descrip tion ; and my account of him, instead of ending with the two or three words now concluding it, should have terminated thus :—" That I wished he had stuck to his humours and farces for which he had real talent, instead of attempting to cut up a great man for the hounds, and taking a silver fork and a seat at a great table for the refinement that he has missed." I have only one opinion more to guard against, which might be caused by something in my book itself; to wit, the face which the engraver in his hurry has been pleased to thrust upon me, and which might lead people to suppose that I am not only capable of calumniating my host, but of walking MI with his tankard. I have no pretensions to hand someness—my face is rescued from insignificance solely by thought; but I must really be allowed to say, that there is nothing in it which ought to take me to liow-street. I am, Sir, your obliged and sincere servant, LEIGH HUNT. MEETINGS OF CREDITORS.

On the Coroner's Inquest, it appeared in evidence, that the deceased, while stationed under the eastern portico of the Bank, quitted his post, leaving his firelock in his sentry-box, and went to the sentry at the western portico, who, on observing him, said, " You are taking it rather coolly ;" to which the deceased said, " I am going to take it coolly ;" adding, that " this drilling is enough to make a man do what he would not wish to do." —He then returned to his post, and terminated his ex istence as above. The disease of his mind is manifest, and that what affected him was imaginary—for it appears that he had never been sent to drill, though he had been threatened with it. He bore a good character in his corps, and his name never appeared in the book of defaulters. It is worthy of remark, that the brother of the deceased, who was in the marine artillery, put an end to his existence, and that his sister also committed suicide. The deceased, be fore the committal of the fatal act, scratched on the wall of the Bank, with his bayonet, the words, "E. Hearne, 56th regiment." The Coroner's Inquest brought in a verdict, " Insanity." He was 28 years of age.—Dublin Freeman's Journal. THE WHITE BEAR OF NORTH AMERICA. —Nature has distinguished this animal by peculiar charac ters. He feeds entirely on fruits during summer and autumn, and it is at those seasons that the 'lndians go in search of him in places where fruits are abundant, and de stroy him. When the cold weather commences he pro ceeds to hide himself in the hollow of some tree, or in a hole which he digs for himself in the earth. Here he re mains completely motionless, apparently under the influence of the soundest sleep, for the whole of the winter. He sustains himself by sucking his paws, from which the fat with which his body is covered seems to pass for his nourishment. The Indians discover his abode sometimes by means of dogs which scent him, sometimes by the place which his breathing marks in the snow, and they destroy him without his making the least resistance or even motion, so that a single pike or lance is sufficient for the purpose. In the spring, the season when he quits his den, he in the first place exerts himself to regain possession as it were of thoSe natural powers which have remained suspended or paralysed during the whole winter. He cleanses himself by purgative and diuretic simples, which nature points tut to him with more clearness than they are indicated by our physicians aud botanists. As, however, so long an abstinence, and this succeeding pur gation, must necessarily have weakened his stomach, and it is consequently necessary for him to follow a light regi men, he commences with fish. The manner of his con ducting his fishing is truly extraordinary. Sitting on his hind paws on the bank of a river or a lake, he continues so perfectly motionless that be might be :uistaken for a burnt trunk of some tree, which frequently deceives even the keen and practised eye of an Indian himself. With andrl skillf fish which his right paw he seizes withincr u e: i l d ib e l r e h c i e s le e; ! e ty s, a h them on the bnk unsuspectinglyli'lle pass n he has o b ta i ne d a p l ent if u l sup plya for his table, he re g ales himself on a • port i on o f i t, an d conceals the rest, that he may have sure recourse to it, as aispetite serves, during the day : be appears perfectly to know that morning and evening are the only times for fish ing. He afterwards proceeds to a more substantial fare, to the flesh of beasts which he hunts, or finds dead, and at length he returns to he is a to his diet of fruits.

Canning was.always open to correctien, and received any suggestions for the improve ment-of his speeches in the most courteous man ner. Of this disposition we will give an instance. In one of the speeches which he delivered (hiring theelection in 1818, he combated the doctrine of universal suffrage, and contended that " an unlimited extension of the right of suffrage would dissipate and exhaust its virtue;" illustrat ing the idea by the old simile of the circle caused by the stone cast into the water. Unfortnnatelv, however, the orator had used the word stream, instead of water, and the sentence read thus : " As the circle that spreads from the stone cast into the stream extends itself till it embraces the whole surface of the pool, and is lost in its own diffusion." The word stream caught the eye of the late Mr. James Williarason, who was somewhat of an eccentric character, and who broke out into a criticism on the phrase.— " Stream, sir !—nonsense, sir. Bow can a stone make a circle in a stream, sir ? A stream runs, sir ; and how can you make a circle by throwing a stone into running water, sir ?" This hypercriticism was mentioned to. Mr. Canning, who admitted that the word water would be more 'appropriate than stream, and it was altered ac- Tordingly, The Right Honourable Gentleman inquired, every i day pig ti',e;conlinuan ce of th e election, after the ()Wale, as he gOod-lininoredly called him, and asked whether he had, suggested any more alterations in his speeches. Mr. Canning had a very high opinion - of the talents of the gentlemen who report the proceed ings of Parlianient for the metropolitan journals. Itt coseausaion on the tobject of reporting, he remarked, that the reporters mu s t h e c l ass i ca l scholars, " for,"said he, " I have frequently observed, that classical quotations Which had been imperfectly or incorrectly made in the hurry of speaking, are generally correctly given by the reporters in the newspapers." He , was then asked, which of the London journals bethought gave the best reports of the parliamentary de bates. "I am sorry to say," replied the Right -Honourable Gentleman, " the Times." This conversation took place in 1820, when the Times was opposed . to the administration of the day, and particularly. to Mr. Canning,who . waS a leading member of the Cabinet: The pieceding anecdotes of Mr. Ca'nning are stated from our own. personal knowledge. The anecdote which we are about to mention we heard related since his death. It will be in ithe recollection of all our readers, that Mi. Canning was, in 1822; appointed to fill the 'important. station of Governor-General of India'; and that he visited Liverpool, in August, in tinit year, for the purpose of taking leave of his friends and constituents. He resided, during his visit, at Ser.:- forth-house, th e seat of Joh n Gl a d s t one , E sq . near Crosby. On Friday, the 30th of Aug., a grand farewell dinner was given to the Right Hon. Gentleman in the Lyceum News-room. On the Morning of that day, Mr. Canning received a letter from his old and tried friend, the Earl of Liverpool, offering to : him, On his own 'terms, the office of Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, which had become vacant by the'sudaen death of the late Marquis of Londonderry. Gratifying as this unconditional tender of office was to his feelings, the circumstance of its reaching him just on the eve of the farewell dinner caused no little embarrassment to the Right Hon. Gentleman. In this delicate situation he confided the secret .Of the letter tb afi Iton. Gentleman .who had joined him at Seaforth-house, and.who had long enjoyed a large share of his confidence. They walked down together to the sea-side, oil the sands of which they discussedthe propriety of keeping the secret of the actual tender of office at home, in order that the farewell dinner, appointed to take place in the evening, might not lose its in terest from the disclosure. The secret was kept, the dinner went off with eclat, and Mr. Canning delivered on this occasion one of his most brit ' liant orations. His valedictory address wasbeau.. tiful as well as affecting; and the bulk of the company, when Mr. Canning departeder,,ti ywell, th a t e e fromh his s facethe no more. thought w o y, ghtt e hat re t c h o i lee s t hou e l e d ‘ when he came to the part of p h;:s speech in which he alluded to the hope which the chairman had expressed, of yet seeing tils great talents employed in the service of ins country at home, Mr. Canning seemetil to speak with unusual hesita tion.
