Before Mr. Justice GA2 E LEE and Mr. Baron VA UGH AN. ) Daniel Robinson, aged 29, was indicted for man slaughter, in killing and slaying his father,William .Robinson, at Seven Dials on the 2d of Januiry last: . Mary Robinson, mother of the prisoner, and.wife . of the deceased, stated with great agitation and dis 't6t her husband and son were both shoe makers, and both came home drunk on the night of the above day, so , much so that they could not lindreSs themselves assisted . thfAti, and when 'the son wss shifting his ,shirt and could not get it off, he then tore it from the wristbands. The father 'said, "that's 'right, tear it;" the son` replied, " teary Ours." The father then pulled - of his ow n shirt, jumped . out of bed, and saying, " Come on," advanced towards the son in a fighting attittide: Afte', a feW blows the father seized a' shovel, and the son a basin of water, which he threw a t hi s father; the pieces flew from the inantel piece find struck the old Mali' on the face, and one bad wound ..was inflicted on the arm; witness en deavoured to appease the old man, who was 72 years old, and very violent when in liquor; he flourished the,fire-shovel, and ,said with:violent language that he would split the prisoner's skull, and was with the greatest difficulty restrained; he went imme diately to the Middlesex Hospital, and remained there for 16 days when he died. By Mr. ADOLPHUS.—He seowed the greatest sorrow when he found that he had hurt his father, saying that he wished it had been his own arm in stead of his father's ; he was exceedingly fond of his father. The house surgeon of Middlesex Hospital depos ed, that the death of the deceased was occasioned by a cut in the elbow joint, which led to suppuration and a tendency to mortification. The prisoner, -who wept bitterly during the trial, put_in a written defence, in which he deeply de plored the accident, and d ea th of his father. They were both badly intexieited, and he recollected very little of the occurrence. . Mr. ApoLpßus cailed . several witnesses, who gave the priioner an excellent character for mildness to his parents. • Mr. Baron VAUGHAN summed up the evidence, and the - .fury after a few minutes' deliberation, re turned a verdict s of ".Guilty," but recommended the prisoner to mercy, on account of his previous good charaCter.

CANNING'S SPEECHES. "RIDGWAY-LONDON. The Speeches of Mr. Canning have just issued from the Press. They appear under circumstances which impart to them an authenticity and a value beyond any collection of-speeches which have been published in this country. Of the speeches of our eminent Parliamentary Speakers (with the excep tion of those of Burke);- there is no -authentic record to which posterity can refer as a satisfactory test of their Statesmanlike views and eloquence. Chatham is only - known by tradition, and by the assurance" given to us of the powerful effects which he some times produced. The speeches of Fox have been 'collected, and although in some of them the vigour of his -masculine understanding is preserved in its glowing perfection, yet the record transmitted to us of his eloquence, is not, upon the whole, quite equal to the living reputation which the orator enjoyed. The speeches of Erskine and Itomilly have indeed been preserved in a suitable form, but then the re nown which they obtained was rather the reputation of lawyers than the more exalted renown of states inen. Windham's speeches and those of the immortal Pitt, have been published ; but here again, from the circumstance of their speeches not having been re vised by themselves, as well as from their deficiency in the most attractive requisites of oratory—imagina tion and fervour—we doubt whether the perusal of their speeches will impress upon the mind of the reader of the present day, a sense of their merits cor responding to that which was entertained of them during the lifetime of the orators. What imparts to the present publication of Mr. Canning's speeches a' value surpassing that of all those Statesmen who pre ceded him, is, that he really possessed an assemblage of oratorical endowments—a capacity for wit—for argument—for classic elegance—for historical illus tration—not surpassed by any of the eminent men whose names we have enumerated. Add to this, he was judiciously sedulous of his own fame in his lifetime. He corrected his speeches, and the pre- Sent collection of them has been edited by a Barris ter (Me. Therry), who engaged in the task of editing his speeches with the express sanetion of 4r. Canning. Besides other qualifications, Mr. Therry has brought to the performance of the task which he has undertaken, a great admiration of the orator whose eloquence he records. To the first volume of the work, a " Memoir of the Life of Mr. Can liing," by Mr. Therry, is prefixed. In preparing this llemoir, through the kindness of some surviving friends of Mr. Canning, lie is enabled to state many circumstances relating to Mr. Canning more accu rately than they have hitherto appeared. These cir cumstances relate principally to the family of Mr. Canning—to his early friendships—his first entrance into public life—his habits of composition and speak ing—and the circumstances of his death. From the ,navy interesting passages which the Memoir contains, we subjoin a few extracts. After giving a table, exhibitive of the pedigree of Mr. Canning, Mr. Cherry proceeds to narrate a most amiable trait in his private character " It is, perhaps, opportune to state that Mr. Can ning took the earliest occasion of relieving his mother from the necessity of obtaining a maintenance by the public exercise of her talents. With an affection, truly duteous and exemplary, he not only applied a portion of the means allowed him by his family, for the prosecution of his collegiate studies, to her sup port, but devoted to that praiseworthy purpose the first fruits of his public services. When he retired, in 1801, from the office of Under Secretary of State, he was entitled to a pension of 5001. a year; instead of appropriating that sum to his own uses, he re quested to have it settled as a provision on his mother. His attention to his mother throughout his whole life was most kind and affectionate, and will be contemplated with delight by those who love to appreciate the private qualities which - endear, in pre ference to the more glittering, though not more substantial or admirable ones, which dazzle and astonish. Mr. Canning not only paid a yearly visit o his mother at Bath, where she resided, but made it a rule, which he invariably observed, to write to her every Sunday. So strictly did he observe this rule of addressing a- weekly letter to his mother, that, during his embassy at the Court of Lisbon, even when opportunities of intercourse between Portugal and England did not occur sometimes for several weeks together, he neiertheless wrote his Sunday letter, so that his packet often conveyed four or five letters together to his mother. These letters his grateful parent preserved; and she delighted in reading them in the circle of her friends at Bath." The commencement of Mr. Canning's acquaint ance with Mr. Pitt presents an interesting and novel feature in the Memoir. Hitherto much uncertainty *veiled as „to the manner in which Mr. Canning was first introdUced to the acquaintance of Mr. Pitt. " The commencement of his acquaintance with Mr. Pitt, though somewhat curious in its circumstances, is attributable to the same honourable source from which he derived all his distinction in after life—his own talents. The celebrity of those talents reached the Minister. Mr. Pitt, through a private chan nel, communicated his desire to see Mr. Canning. With this requisition, Mr. Canning, of course, rea dily complied. Mr. Pitt proceeded immediately on their meeting to declare to Mr. Canning the object of his requesting an interview with him ; which was to state that he had heard of Mr. Canning's reputation as a scholar and a speaker, and that if he concurred in the policy which Government was then pursuing, arrangements would be made to faci litate his introduction, nto Parliament. After a full explanation between Mr. Pitt and Mr. Canning, of the feelings of each on all the important public questions of the moment, the result was, on Mr. Canning's part, the determination to connect himself politically with Mr. Pitt ; and on the part of Mr. Pitt, the offer of a seat in Parliament. He may have confided this determination to Mr. Sheridan, or possibly . may have consulted him; but even the assertion, so frequently made, that 'Sheridan's ad vise mainly influenced him in this important step, is sustained by no competent authority. This ac quiescence in the proposal of Mr. Pitt, Mr. Can ning's friends knew to be consistent with his previ ously avowed and conscientious conviction, as when he had no motives of interest to sway him in adopt ing that conviction, and very strong ones to dis suade him from it, he had uncompromisingly ex pressed it in the Whig circle in which he principally moved, and by which, in the, ordinary course of events, it was natural he should have expected to be introduced into Parliament." The duel with Lord Castlereagh is touched uptni with great deliCacy. All the circumstances connect-. ed with this painful topic are detailed with great im partiality, as well as with more accuracy, than in any narrative of the, transaction which has hitherto ap peared. The Memoir, althoiigli evidently drawn up with a view of illustrating the Speeches, throws some new light on the various political negociations and changes of Administration . in which Mr. Canning took a prominent part. The circumstanc es o f hi s connectiopublic nwith for the first time. F rom t h e Liverpool, are also h ere state d firs to accurately enn to the attractive and curious details with which the Me moir abounds,. we make the following selections on topics of leading interest : AIR. C ANNING ' S MODE OF CORRECTING HIS SPEECHES " AS to .11r, Cannines - mode of correcting 'his speeehes, of which a fac simile representation is given in the first volume ;*—it would appear from the corrected proofs of them, in the possession of the Editor of this work, that the process of correct ing his speeches had been to him a, very arduous and This specimen of the newly invented art of Typoli thography, is not only curious, but really astonishing, and does high credit to the ingenious originator of it, Mr. W. Ross.. Mr. Canning bad made some corrections, which could not be conveniently written on the - margin, on a 'se parate slip of paper. This paper was of a softer kind than that of the proofs--of course the writing became thicker, by the spreading of the ink, The difference thus occa4 sinned in the hand 'writing is exactly imitated ; and a Note to Mr. liuskisson serves to show the usual appearanCe of Mr. C's ,band in epistolary correspondence, even painful occupation. From the sensitive refine ment of his taste, which sometimes bordered on the verge of fastidiousness, he not only directed a proof sheet to be sent to him, but sometimes even re quired a second and a third revise of that sheet to be submitted to his inspection. Frequently in his pro cess of correction, he would , restore a phrase which at first he had either altered or erased ; and, in some instances, his alterations were not manifest improve ments. At least, on some occasions, what certain passages of the speech gained in accuracy, they lost in vigour, and in spirit of expression. The principal advantages derived to'his speeches from his revision of them, was the imparting to them an extreme beauty and precision of style and sentiment—the clothing of the figures of eloquence, with which his speeches abound, in a perfectly appropriate drapery of language--•and the arranging of his argu ments in an intelligible; clear, and logical form. He sometimes interpolated a few sentences, in the proofs submitted to him for revision, but did so rather for the purpose of conveying his meaning with more force and fullness, than either of retract ing or qualifying what he had originally and really uttered in debate. To such a degree - of polish and of nicety had he refined his style, as not only to ap pear incapable of saying any thing that was vulgar, but unwilling even to avow the authorship of any ex pression that was not contained within the precincts of an elaborate harmony. Sometimes he would even reject an idiomatic term, and have recourse to a periphrasis, to avoid it. For instance, rather than be heard to utter ' cat's paw,' (a perfectly idioma tic phrase), he would say, the paw of a certain domestic animal;' and to escape from the direct use of the term ' Quixotic,' he would preface its introduction by an apologetic circumlocution; speak ing of the thing to which he wished to apply it, as an enterprise remantic in its origin, and thank less in its end, to be characterized only'. by a term borrowed from that part of the Spanish literature with which we are most_ . LAST ILLNESS AND DEATH. " On Wednesday, the Ilth - of July, Mr. Canning, went to . WiMbledon to a Cabinet dinner, at the Lord Chancellor's, where, having made himself wa rm with exercise, he sat for some time under a tree in the open air. The next day he complained of a slight feeling of rheumatism; but it was not till the following Satiirday that it became so serious as to make him keep his bed.. He was confined there nearly a week; but on Friday, the 20th, was, suffi ciently recovered to be enabled to go to the Duke of Devonshire's villa, at Chiswick, which the Duke had lent to him for change of air. From that time to the Ist of August, though lie was well enough to come occasionally to his residence in London, and to ride out, yet he made little progress towards re covery. On the 30th of July he paid his last visit to his Majesty, and on the 31st he came, for the last time, to town, ,and transacted business for a few hours with several official gentlerneo, On his return to Chiswick that evening, he dined in company with some friends, and retired early to his bed, from which he was destined never again to rise. On the 2d and 3d he was in very cheerful spirits, and on the evening of the latter day he transacted business with Mr. Herries ,for three hours, - It was .;bout two hours after that gentleman bad left him, that he was seized with excruciating pains in the side, which gave the first striking indications to those around him of his alarming condition. Two hours afterwards the Medical Gentlemen arrived, and he was bled largely. From that time till I;is death his sufferings were, with few intermissions, so acute, that he could hardly be said to be in the full possession of his facti4ies. •He was, however, at times, tolerably, if not entirely collected; and at those times. as well as in his wanderings, he expressed concern at the inconvenience which his illness might occasion to the business of .Government, and gave frequent indications that his King and Country anxiously occupied his thoughts. On the Sunday before his death, he remembered the day, and ex pressed a wish that his daughter should read prayers to biin—(a duty which he himself, in his busiest moments, never omitted to perform to his whole household, whenever he was prevented from going to Chtirch)—but a feW minutes after he had ex pressedlithis wish, the . train, 'which had for a time partially subsided, returned with great violence, and with it returned like Wise the wanderings of his mind. In the course of the evening of this day, on some religious observation being made by one of the attendants, he declared his, hope of salvation through the merits of his Redeemer, Jesus Christ.' The two last days, his strength* and his pains dimi nished in like proportion, and, having been senseless for some - hours, he breathed his last, without a groan, a little before four o'clock on the morning of the Bth of August." SUMMARY OF HIS CHARACTER AS AN ORATOR. " He had studied with a quick and congenial feeling those severe and eternal models—the remains of an cient eloquence. His elegance of expression was fastidious, without weakening its force; his wit was not so elaborately—concentratedly brilliant, as She ridan's, but it was more prompt, redundant, and disposable; aHd, if it may be so said, more logical— whilst his ridicule, inimitably poignant, was ever governed by high breeding and good taste. Mr. Canning's reading was_ extensive and various, and his fancy flitted over history, fiction, and external nature, with quickness and felicity ; for illustration, citation, or metaphor. He had the tact to discern, and the dexterity to expose, what was weak or ridi culous on the adverse side—the art to push an oppo nent's simile, or analogy, ad absurdzon—or to disco ver grandeur in what was meant for reproach (as in his retort that Proteus, with the versatility of his shapes, was in every shape the god); and, in fine, to lay bare by rigorous syllogism, a fallacy in the envelope of a sophism, or loose phrase. Who has ever reached him in those clever movements, and heppy inspirations, which stamp the talent of debate ? " Mr. Canning not only meditated his speeches, but composed carefully (whether on paper or in his" memory matters not) the passages of effect. His exquisite sense of the elegance of -style—of the pre cise.yalue of words —and of :oratorical collocation and cadence—will be felt and admired in the speeches revised by him—and discerned in those that remain in a state less perfect. His printed speeches present the orator with rnore interest and fidelity, than any other published speeches, excepting Burke's, who wrote his for the press, fortunately for posterity and his own fame. Mr. Canning, however, will not be found always equal to himself; but as it is the con dition of mediocrity not to exceed—and its privilege not to descend below itself-..soinequality is the at. tribute of genius —from the father of poetry and eloquence down to this day. D Person and delivery are considerable parts of the orator. Mr. Canning's height was of the heroic standard—his form united elegance and strength— his dress was modern, without pomp or foppery— his motions and pace firm and elastic—with a cha • racteristicr individualising disregard of all studied grace. His countenance was moulded in the hap nglish style-- come l y , e l egan t, an d simple— gracefully, ra th er than- stron g ly, d e fi ne d —the expressive and mantling as he spoke, with the I li l le e et c p fare h r a ofi ng l s of sentiment and emotion—the eye large 'and full, and if not charged with the lightning's flash, yo; . beaming with intelligence—,the voice strong, flexible, and slightly muffled, so as to impart a softer melody, with ou t affecting its clearness. His port, as he spok e , was -sometimes negligent—often admirable- , -evincing a proud consciousness of the s u periority of his cause, or the power of his elo quence. His action in one respect was objection able—he wielded_ his arms alternately and vehemently without variety or grace, and spoke occasionally with his arms crossed. The first of living portrait painters* has represented him in a frock coat, with his arms crossed, on the'floor of Parliament. But though the likeness is perfect the portraitavantshistoricattitude, aspect, and expression. The artist took the orator ,wbo could launch an epigram or a retort—when he might have gone so much higher.. Possibly, this Sir Thomas Lawrence. negligent action of Mr. Canning was indulged in to avoid the theatricalism of manner with which Lord Chatham was reproached—and which betrayed, too palpably, art and preparation in Sheridan. It had the effect, too, of giving an air of unpremeditated inspiration to his most calculated strokes and pass ages of most elaborate splendo ur . B u t his delivery, on the whole, was at all times effective, and, with the occasion, impassioned and electrical. " With the sensibility of his temperament, and his order of mind, Mr. Canning must have possessed pathetic power. But the exercise of this is scarcely within the range of the elo quence o f P arl i ament. His sensibility, joined with hi s d e li cate sense of personal honour, rendered him impati ent , some times, of petty outrages in debate —and s o gross i n theirlet them he in injustice,beforgotten. " Had Mr. Canning devoted himself to literature, that of his country must have been adorned by hi m . In prose, his early compositions, and some una vowed pieces in the maturity of his talent, are worthy of his fame ;—his State Papers remain as recoil upon th e i r aut h ors—but models in their kind. His pieces, in verse, indi cate a resemblance to the genius of Pope. He would have excelled, like that illustrious poet, in polished diction, keen satire, and strong traits of ridi cule and character. He would have equalled Pope in elegiac pathos, and surpassed him in lyric spirit. But the tomb has closed, in its darkness and si lence, on the Wit, Orator, Patriot, and Statesman." The elegant form in which the work is got up is highly creditable to the publisher, In this respect it surpasses any edition of speeches which have hitherto been published. Altogether we regard the publication of this work as a valuable and substantial addition to the stock of British literature, and in a department of British literature, too, which, before its appearance, was deficient in works of sterling merit.
