COURT OF CHANCERY. _ The Lord Chancellor sat at twenty minutes past ten o'clock. LORD CREW V. FROUD. Mr. AGAR brought on this case, that had been de cided some time ago by his Lordship, modifying an injunction that had been granted by Lord Eldon, on behalf of the plaintiff against the defendant, restrain ing him from cutting timber, upon the subject of costs. His client did not understand that the Court had given costs against him. His LORDSHIP remembered most distinctly having given costs against Mr. Frolic?. IN THE MATTER OF EURO, A LUNATIC. In this matter the lunatic, formerly a Purser in the Navy, is in a lunatic asylum, at Newcastle-upon- Tyne; his brother was appointed the Committee of his person, and he has been in prison for nearly 12 months,- the application now therefore was on the part of Mrs. Thorn, a sister of the lunatic, that the Committee might be removed, that he might pass his accounts, and a new Committee appointed. Mr. HEALD appeared for the petitioner, Mrs. Thorn. Mr. Twiss and TREE were for the Committee. Their client had no objection whatever to be re moved from the office he held, provided he was re spectably so discharged, and that Mr. Linsey paid the costs of this petition. Mr. Linsey had been for a time the solicitor of all parties, lunatic, committee, and petitioner ; he had got Mr. Warburton to arrest the Committee for a charge Mr. W. had against him fo r the maintenance and protection of the lunatic, and, as was alleged, for the purpose of himself getting into the receipt of the lunatic's half-pay of 701. a year, till he had discharged his own bills of costs amounting to between 5001. and 600/. Mr. Linsey had been in receipt of the half-pay for several years, and he ought to have paid Mr. `Warburton. It was further contended, that the petition of Mrs. Thorn was, in fact, the petition of Mr. Linsey, Mrs. Thorn being a poor woman living in Scotland. HORNE was counsel for Mr. Linsey. lie disclaimed any interest, except a desire to have his bills paid. They had been taxed under an order of Lord Eldon, and he had no objection to go before the Master to have them re-taxed. His LORDSHIP desired it to be understood, that he threw no imputations on the character of the Committee in removing him, but being in prison he was not to be any longer continued in the Committee, therefore the Court now removed him. It further ordered, that the half-pay should go to the mainte nance of the lunatic. That so far as the petitioner prayed the removal of the Committee, he should Pay the costs, but that of the other parts— such as prayed that Mr. Linsey might be let into the receipt of the lunatic's income, &c. the Committee should have the costs ; and that as Mr. Linsey might eventually be responsible for th e whole of the costs, if the Committee thought Proper, he should be at liberty to bring forward his charg e s against Mr. L. by a distinct petition. I > l THE MATTER Or GRECIORY TAE TURNER, A LUNATIC. Mr. CHING presented a petition in this matter on behalf of a person named Coburn, who stated him self to be the gardener of Sir Gregory, which prayed to hav e th e amount o f hi s d e b t o f 921. pa id to hi m for wages. It prayed other things, but which the Learned Counsel did not insist upon. Dr. PRILLIMORE begged to interpose on behalf of the committees, with a petition which prayed for an order to refer t he petition which Mr. Ching had r isen to open to the Master, for scandal and imperti nence, and that the petitioner might be ordered to Pay the costs of such parts as might come under that denomination. He deemed it right to state the Prayer of that petition a little more fully. It prayed that the petitioner might have the opportunity of trying whether Sir G. had been truly and honestly found to be a lunatic; that the two keepers from the madhouse, who had had the charge of the lunatic might be restrained from giving evidence on that trial; that the petitioner, either by himself, his attorney, or counsel, might be at liberty to enable himself to !earrk all the tricks and contrivances of Sir Gregory's keepers, &c. (Laughter.) The petition brought forward the most barefaced and scandalous charges against a great , nuinber of most eminent and distin guished personages, amongst whom the Lord Chan cellor had the honour of having his name inserted. It was impossible that the comnaittees could permit this petition to be brought. forward without having it referred, for scandal and imper tinence. Nobody could doubt that it in fact was the petition of Sir Gregory himself, or of his attor ney, Mr. Corbett. Mr. Cutts' admitted the petition had been im properly framed, and that he neither was instructed 'nor would he lend himself, to support the greater part of the petition. His LORDSHIP understood that there were no funds yet of the lunatic, and that therefore the part of the petition which prayed the 921. to be directed to be paid to the gardener was premature, so that it would have to be dismissed as to that part. It was nest for Mr. Chine- to say whether he would consent to have the whore of the petition dismissed with costs, or whether he wou ld rat h er go i n to the Mas ter's Office upon the reference prayed by Dr. Phil limore. Mr. CHING consented to the petition being wholly dismissed with cost". VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT• EX-PARTE ;WELTON 1W THX MATTER or COLEMAN. Arguments were resumed upon this petition to day. It appeared that a commission of bankruptcy issued against Messrs. Coleman and Winans, bankers at Ludlow, and that subsequently another commission was issued against the four partners in the Leominster bank, with which Coleman was also connected. Coleman was, of course, included in this latter commission. The object of the present petition, which was presented by the assignees under the Leominster commission, was that the first com mission might be superseded, so far as related to Coleman. Mr. Ross and Mr. MoNTAGUE appeared for the petitioners, and st a t e d, t h at the i r cl i ents were p l ace d in circumstances of great difficulty. They had already administered a large portion of the effects of these four bankrupts, they had paid 6s. Bd. in the pound, and had entered into the several contracts by which they made themselves liable to actions at law, and suits in Chancery, and yet it was clear that they i had no ti t l e whatever tinder their commission, inasmuch as a sec o nd commission ssu:ld against a person, already t h e object of a subsisting one, invalid.was It was l ate l y t h at they ma d e t hi s discovery, when a coTnhvoeyancer was employed to t.tm,ad draw up some deeds. them that they bad no : conveya ncer at once told that it would not be safe for any person to cont ra them.. Under these circumstances they .claimedemtthee assistance of the Court, offering at the s ame siupersetdoeddefranytalefl the expenses that might be incurred in ' conse quence h of the first commission being manner prayed for. The it involved considerable amount, as it appeared that the debts o of the Leominster bank were 91,0001., whilst a claim of not much less than 71,0001. was made under the Ludlow commission. Mr. HEALD and Mr. WAKEFIELD appeared' for the respondents, and argued that it wo u ld b e mani festly unjust to interfere with a commission which had been properly issued, and thereby to disturb the rights of creditors claiming under it. The assignees under the Ludlow commission (the first one) had commenced actions at law for the r ecover y o debts due to the estate of Coleman and Winans; they had also a suit i n Ch ancer y n ow pending; so that the effect of superseding their commission would be to put an end to all these proceedings, to the great da mage of the joint creditors of Coleman and Willans. Mr. Russ was aware that some inconvenience of that nature might be the result of the measure which the petitioners prayed ; but then they were willing to indemnify the respondents for any loss that might be thus incurred. The VICE CHANCELLOR said, that the [pat diffi- U. 1. inner. r 10. cults in the case was this--It the Court were to supersede the commission as against Coleman, leaving, it in force as respecte s d Willans, - hoW could the assig nees under that commission declare in an fr.',3:l at law against any person indebted to the joint estate of Coleman and Willans2 His Honour promised to examine all the authorities on the subject, and give his judgment as soon-aspossible. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. John Alfrey, an insolvent, having come up on his petition to be discharged, the Court took occasion to advert to a letter, which stated that Mr. Norton, who appeared as the insolvent's attorney, had em ployed Alfrey, whilst in prison, to solicit business from the other insolvents. As the opportunity pre sented itself of investigating this charge, by examin ing the party on oath who was represented to have acted as agent, the Court now expressed its deter mination to proceed to make such inquiries as should satisfy it whether Mr. Norton had, as was al leged, acted in contravention of one of the most im portant rules which had been laid down by the Court. Mr. Norton declared his willingness to have the insolvent examined concerning any of the statements made in the letter which was transmitted to the Court. The Insolvent was then examined, and swore posi- Lively that he bad been employed by Mr. Norton previous to his arrest, but that since his committal to prison he had not been engaged in any business for Mr. Norton, nor had never solicited business for him. The COURT expressed itself perfectly satisfied with the result of the Insolvent's examination, and considered that the imputations against Mr. Norton were wholly unfounded. Mr. Norton solemnly protested that the whole charge against him was fabricated, and proceeded from jealousy. The COURT considered itself bound to take advan tage of the opportunity which presented itself for investigating the charge against Mr. Norton, but was perfectly satisfied with' the explanation which was given.

Shakespeare in one of his Plays uses the term " lodged," which, as every ploughboy in this part of the kingdom knows, is applied to grass, &c. thrown down by rain or wind—but this not being known to ens of the bard's commentators, he expended many learned con jectures upon it, and failed at last in developing its true meaning. A similar dilemma occurred at our late Assizes : --one of the witnesses spoke of 44 the purgatory." This was a puzzler for the gentlemen " learned in the law," until a local phylologist explained that it meant a recess under the fire for receiving " the ashes of the grate"—and the word was no doubt adopted with allusion to the place assigned to separate spirits by a particular denomination of Christians. When the explanation was given, Mr. Baron Vaughan seemed much amuse4,—and observed, with his usual good humour, that he hoped the parties in the suit would " soon be out of purgatory."— Worcester Journal. The houses building on the site of Carlton Palace, and forming the east side of the intended entrance from Waterloo-place to St. James's-park, are already elevated to the first story. They are on a line with the east side of Waterloo-place, and with the old houses of Pall-Mall, so that there is no improvement of this latter street, with respect t 3 width, in contemplation. It is curious to reflect upon the vicissitudes of St. James's-park. In the reign of Henry VIII. the site of the park was a marsh . ) , field, with a hospital for lunatics, standing where St. James's Palace now stands. Henry pulled down the hospital, and erected the Palace. Charles 11. conceived the plan of adapting the grounds to a Royal residence. He destroyed the old Mall (Pall-mall), used for the game of Mall, and planted the present Malls or long walks of the park. He drained the grounds by cutting the canal, and contrived an av i ar y, which still goes by the name of the Bird Cage-walk. In the canal was an island, called Duck Island, with an establishment of water-fowl, formed for the purpose of giving the witty St. Evrentond the sinecure of manager of the Island and its inhabitants. The Horse Guards was then a mean wooden building, standing in wretched contrast to e, splendid White Hall opposite. The present building (the Horse Guards) was not erected till the reign of George 11., the design being by an archi tect named \Tardy. Buckingham House was built by Sheffield, Duke of Buckingham, the admirer of Queen Anne, who being rejected, married her sister, a natural daughter of James H., by the daughter of Sir Charles Sedley. The Duke was profligate and eccentric, and Pennant relates his giving a dinner to all the most infamous sharpen of the day, at Mary-le-bone ; and, after a gambling bout, he took up a glass of wine, and drank— " May as many of us as remain unhanged next.spring, meet here again." Buckingham House was settled on the Consort of the late King, by the Parliament. STANLEY DE COURCY IRELAND.--This unfortunate man's sonnexiona in Ireland are highly respect able, and it was solely for the purpose of sparing them any shame, which they might have feii from his misdeeds, that he assumed the name of Samuel Wilson, at his trial at Croydon ; and in this view the officers of the Mint fully concurred, and did not even attach the alias to his name in the indictment. It was also understood that the final sentence of the law would not be carried into effect, what ever was the result of his trial, as the Mint officers were only anxious to get him out of the country. Having got his affairs, early in life, ii.vc,ived in n Chancery suit, he came to London to prosecute it, and with every prospect of success. I: is a singular circumstance that, an the event of that aurcemg, he will become entitled to the reversion of a very coLsiderable sum of money, accumulating in the hands of Ole Accountant-General of the Court of Chancery. Soon after he came to London his resources failed him ; and his friends, anxious for his return, stopped their remit tances, hoping that the want of means would compel him to quit the metropolis. But he was not to be forced, even to his good, and continued to live " by his ways and means," until the discovery in 1825 of his extensive plans of swindling. He was confined in the House of Correc tion, Coldhath-fields, and there became acquainted with some of the extensive gang of coiners, so loag the object of the exertions of the Mint to detect. After his discharge from prison, nothing was heard of him until his detection in Isabella -place, near the Coburg, almost in the very act of coining. Ireland' s d aug h ter w i ll, i t i s sa id, b e a ll owe d to accompany her father to the place of his transportation. Little doubt is entertained that Ireland will, in New South Wales, if that be the place of his destination, retrieve him self; for, educated as he was for the bar, he possesses the means within him of acquiring an honestindependenee.— Times.

The prisoner, Mary Brooks, who was yesterday con victed of the murder of her female child, was in a frantic state for some time after leaving the dock. The intimation that she would be confined for life ap peared almost to deprive her of her senses. She was, however, in some measure, consoled with the as surance of her husband and friends, that they would, as early as possible, endeavour to get her again into the care of her family, by giving security for keeping her in safe custody. She appears to have led a life of mis fortune. She 'was some years ago, the subject of a crim. con. action, brought by her husband._ She is the mother of eight children, who are all dead ; one of them was the result of an illicit acquaintance. A great unhappiness has existed between her husband and herself, which doubtless led to the fatal act. Since her trial, her conversation has been perfectly consistent, and exhibited a warmth of feeling and intellect, perfectly irreconcilable to the commission of murder. She still wonders at her own act, saying that she meant only to destroy herself. James Billings, 19. 117016 Woodharn, 26, and Mary Shirley, 21, were indicted, the first for hurglariously stealing from the house of Daniel Carter, at Battersea, two silk scarfs, and a pelisse, in May last, and the two females for receiving the same, knowing them to be stolen. The Jury found that Billings was guilty of stealing in a dwelling-house to the amount of 405., and acquitted the two female.. . Mr. Justice Gasmrs sentenced the prisoner to seven years' transportation. William Stephens was indicted for stealing a mare, value 5/. 10s. on the 21st of May last, the property of James Fuller.—Verdict, Guilty. The Learned Junag observed that on the first evidence he should have had little doubt that he had been brought into it by others ; but by endeavouring to prove an alibi, he had added perjury to his other offence. Sentence of death was recorded against him. _ _ . _ noizel Oclee was indicted for robbing James Hurley on the King's highway, putting him in fear, and stealing from his person six sovereigns and some silver. The Jury then returned a verdict of " Not Guilty." STAG HUNT ON THE LAKE OF KILLAR NEY, ON SATURDAY LAST. (Extract of a Letter.) The weather has been excessively wet here since last I wrote you. Friday was so very much so, that the hunt was postponed until yesterday, which was also very unfavourable. However, (as Mr. Wilmot Horton must leave here on Monday for London) Lord Kenmara and . his distinguished visitors, attended by several other parties, set off from Ross about twelve o'clock. The passage through the Old Weir Bridge was highly interesting, as the utmost efforts of the several boats' crews were necessarily exerted to haul the boats up against the current. This ob stacle being speedily overcome, and all the boats being properly arranged, Mr. O'Connell gave the signal, by firing a gun from his fine barge " the Erin." In a short time the cry of the hounds was heard reverberated by a thousand echoes, and soon .a noble stag made his appearance, bounding along the sides of the lofty mountains, at the long range, followed by the dogs in full cry ; the scene for two or three hours after this exceeds all description; at times a view would be got of the pack dashing into or from a deep cover; now ascending the steep de clivity of the mountain, then for a moment a view of the stag; again he would be hid among the glens and lofty trees, the pack also hidden from our sight, hut their sweet music always heard echoed and re echoed, until the stag at length, anxious to refresh himself, took to the soil, and crossed the upper lake, near Coleman's Eye, and crossed to Cromeglaun. Being headed here, he iv-escaped to the long range, and having come on a hind in lair, he prac tised a stratagem very usual with these animals, drove the hind out before the hounds, and escaped; the hind was,shortly hunted down to the Boil, and !ming taken, was brought to Lady Kenmare's barge, who ordered her to be again set at liberty, and being enlarged, swam to the shore and ascended her native mountains, amidst the cheers of the spectators, who were all highly delighted. I was most happy to perceive the hunt seemed to afford the greatest gratification to Mr. W. Horton, and the distinguished party in the boat with Lady and Lord Kenmare, amongst whom I recognized our talented and highly esteemed Representative the Knight of Kerry, and his son.—As Mrs. W. Horton, Mr. T. Horton, &c. remain here for some time. I understand it is Mr. O'Connell's intention to have another hunt the latter part of this week, or early next. Mr. W. Horton expressed in very animated terms to Mr. O'Connell, his high admiration and delight of the hunt and scenery.—Cork Chronicle.

We know not that it ever fell to our lot to conve\ to our readers, more afflicting, and at the same time, more unexpected intelligence, than that which this paper will be the bearer of. The insignia of mourn ing which encircles these pages, will tell at the first view, that a great one in Britain has fallen—Not merely a great one; no, the greatest, and most re nowned of the statesmen of our country, is no more ! the Glory of the present administration is departed ! Mr. Canning has been suddenly and unexpectedly removed from the stage of life ! The sun of Europe's freedom is hidden from our view by the dark cloud of death !—Evanescence is inscribed upon all worldy things ! What is the life of man ? it is but a vapour which appeareth for a little time, and then va nisheth away. Last Friday, he was the King's favourite, the Prime Minister of England ; and was in some sense, the arbiter of the destiny of the world ! Revered, honoured, admired, and all but worshipped, by thousands, who, basking in the sun shine of Royal favour, looked up to him, as the man whom the King delighted to honour, and as the channel through which was showered down those honours and preferments which Majesty only could bestow—in one short week how great the dif ference ! he has been laid upon a bed of sickness, and is now clasped in the cold arms of death. Mourn! Britain ! mourn ! another fatal blow, Has dashed your hops, and laid your Canning low. Weep ! Freedom ! weep ! and, with the hallow'd tear, Bedew his corpse, and sanctify his bier. Let not our readers think we are saying too much. Our hearts feel the poignant infliction, and deeply do we lament his loss. Portugal, Greece, South America, nay the whole world, will feel the blow, and most of all his native country, for who will not mourn to see— From Britain's councils, in untimely hour, Such useful talents prematurely torn ? It is well known, that there were many traits in his character—many essential points in his policy, which we could not but condemn; but there were many others which merited the approbation of every Briton. We mourn Mr. Canning's loss, when we consider the enlightened course of foreign policy which he pursued, but, most of all,. because it puts an end to those bright anticipation.s, „which we were beginning to entertain, of future benefits, which in union with his new colleagues, we fondly hoped he would be the means of conferring upon the nation. Those bright prospects—those holeyon an- , ticipations, are dimmed, if not blaste . 'ley are obscured, if not destroyed. Mr. Canning lived to see his name en in the highest list of fame; he lived to set his foot upon the necks of his enemies; he attained the summit of his ambition, and then—all the light of his glory is extinguished by death ! But The lustre of his name shall not expire, Till tombs are bursting, and the world's on fire. The particulars of his illness and death will be found in our second page, at great length, together with some observations from the London papers, on' the probable effects of this melancholy bereavement, and to these mournful details we must refer our readers. The great important question ; a question of amazing interest, in the present situation of England and the world, the question which is almost in every man's mouth, is this—Who is to fill Mr. Canning's place ? where is the Elisha that is to catch Elijah' falling mantle ?—When Lord Liverpool's affliction rendered him incapable of continuing to bear office ; all eyes were at once turned to Mr. Canning, the King pronounced him most worthy, and the nation approved the choice; but who is there now ? The talents of Mr. Brougham point him out as the most efficient successor to his former rival. (From the Sheffield Tory Paper.) We have made every effort to put our readers in possession of the circumstances relating to the ill ness and decease of the Prime Minister. At a mo ment like the present, when death has levelled the hopes, and blighted the glory of the Premier, all ani mosities, arising from political differences, ought to be forgotten in one universal emotion of sympathy over the prostrate energies of this highly gifted genius.—As to his intellectual endowments, there can only be one opinion—every man must ac knowledge that his talents were of the very first order, and we cannot contemplate the extinction of a mind so gifted with any other feelings than those of the sincerest regard. (From the Glasgow Courier of Thursday-) Mental grief and anguish has accelerated this catastrophe. So much for unnatural Coalitions ! The London Papers that were loudest in his praise, are the foremost to point out a succcessor—the Marquis of Lansdowne ! Whatever change is brought about, it will be complete. While we deprecated the coalition that Mr. Canning had formed, and while we condemned some of the measures which he pursued, or was forced to pursue, still recollecting him as a statesman and as a man of the brightest talents and the highest acquirements, we deeply re gret the danger which threatens Mr. Canning's life ; but, c onsidering the course which he has of late pursued, we do not think his loss, as a Prime Minis ter, will be felt by this country. (From the Caledonian Mercury of Thursday, Aug. 9,) DANGEROUS ILLNESS OA MR. CANNING.-Evfry day teaches us impressive lessons of the precarious and evanescent tenure of worldly greatness, and the utter insignificance of human ambition and human power. The proud Premier of England, the highly. gifted and popular Minister, with whose fortunes the best interests of the civilized world had becdme in some measure, identified, and to the stability of whose Government the liberal and enlightened of all countries looked forward with anxious and ani mating hope, has been struck with an alarming, and, we fear, mortal disease. A heavier misfortune t h an the death of Mr. Canning at the present moment it is impossible for us to conceive; and it is with a corresponding intensity of emotion that we regard this unexpected and afflicting visitation of Pro vidence. (From the Dublin Morning Post of Thursday.) We do not hesitate to say, that not only these countries, but the world, would suffer a severe loss by the death of this Minister. We think a better order of things was beginning to manifest itself; and we believe it was his determination, by degrees, to break up the desperate system under which the country has so long groaned, and by which the people have been brought to a state of misery and starvation. He has, at all events, shaken it, and we scarcely think his successor, whoever he may be, will dare attempt to re-establish it. (From the Dublin Morning Register of Thursday.) The news by the mail, yesterday, spread anguish and consternation, for which we do not recollect a single parallel. It is not true, however, that the illustrious Statesmen, whose mourners would include the lovers of liberty and human happiness in two worlds, is no more. The report of a cold-blOoded and sanguinary paragraphist in an Evening Paper, is without any foundation, derivable at least from any arrival yesterday, from first to last. The packet of this day may announce the fatal and disastrous event—but no tidings of it were received by express or otherwise at a late hour last night. In the event of the extinction of this great spirit, what will be the effect upon England— , what upon Europe, or the two hemispheres ?—lt were hard to tell ! The wisest are thunder-struck and in despair. Let us, however, persuade ourselves, that there is some ground of hope and consolation in the wisdom and integrity of a Lansdowne. To the Noble Mar quis, of course, all eyes are turned, as the person most fitted, by powers of mind and weight of cha meter, to take the Premier's chair. There will be five hundred idle rumours, until the arrangements are finally completed; but we would . venture to stake no small forfeit, that if it should unhappily turn out that Mr. Canning is no more, or is beyond recovery, Lord Lansdoi be placed at the heal of the Cabinet. The name of Mr. Peel is, of course, in the mouths of some restless and turbulent lac tisnists ; but we are much mistaken if Hon. person had not a greater chance of an in',:z-en tial appointment under the past, than under what is destined to be the future directorship. of British Councils! (From the Freeman's Journal of Thursday.) ALARMING ILLNESS OF MR. CANNING.-.--At en early hour yesterday morning, an express arrived in town from the Post-office Agent at Liverpoci, an nouncing the melancholy intelligence of Mr. Can ning's expected dissolution; and in a short time afterwards, the regular mail brought a full confirma tion of the fatal change which appears to have taken place in the health of the Right Hon. Gentleman.— The most deep and intense anxiety prevailed throughout the city during the day ; and up to a late hour last night, rumours of the most disheartening description were afloat. . . The benefactors who have earned al - A.:won the ad miration of provinces, kingdoms, and empires, will not sink to the grave_unlatnented even by those who may have been placed beyond the sphere of their beneficence; but, when Providence removes -from the world men, whose genius illustrated ; whose phi lanthropy encompassed, and whose solicitude pro tected the world itself, the sorrow of mankind must be.as boundless and universal as the virtue of which Heaven bereaves them. To Ireland the demise of Mr. Canning would be, indeed, an occasion of pro found and lasting. sorrow. She was robbed of Fits william, when that virtuous n - ian meditated her pa cification and disenthralment ; but, the removal of a Viceroy who would have made her happy had he been allowed to remain, could scarcely have wounded her more deeply than the termination of a life from whose commencement and progress she had cause to expect full,. although tardy, atonement. Mr. Canning, although one of the people, will not be regretted by the people alone. When those who fattened upon the produce of national in dustry, betrayed and insulted the King, because he refused with them to desert principle and insult the nation, Mr. Canning did not hesitate to stand in that breach to -which his Monarch called him, and replace by aristocracy of virtue, the usurpa tions of an aristocracy of pride, selfishness and cor ruption. For this Royalty itself became his debtor, and the obligation must have been creditable to both, inasmuch as it was not alloyed by any compromise of the interests—but confirmed and applauded by the suffrages of the Nation. That which was obse quiousness before, soon became faction. The fawn ing and wily courtier, who would bait) tied the Monarch's shoe, while the Monarch permitted him to ride rough-shod over the people, became instan taneously the assailant of the Government—and he whose application for a sinecure found its way into the Foreign Office during the old regime, was. singled out from amongst the discarded crew, to de tiounce the expenditure in Downing-street. Never did a more cowardly, talentless, and vindictive fac tion disgrace the country, than that which was spawned by the political death of Lord Liverpool. (From the Irishman of Wednesday.) Rumour says that this very distinguished Minis ter died on Monday last, at the hour of four o'clock in the evening of that day. There is no official do .!ument in town of that very painful and distres sing event ; but we should be playing with the feel ings of our readers, if we flattered them with the hope of recovery—his exhausted constitution—his tge—and the malignity of the disease with which he has been attacked, almost forbid hope. Perhaps it will not be considered any departure from that re spect in which we hold the talents of this very emi :tent individual to say, that he has died when his plitical fame had risen to the highest point of ele ..ation, and that if it pleased Providence he should live, such are the difficulties of the Empire,--such the difficulties of the situation in which any Minis., er of England is ever placed, that the hopes so , anguincly entertained of good and substantial ad :antages to be expected from his Administration .night have been disappointed, and Mr. Canning, in 1828 or 1829, be numbered among the common, oxperimentalists of the day. EXETER, (Thursday evening.)--The death of Mr Canning has caused a sensation of the deepest sor :ow here. In the reading-rooms, and at the bar, this feeling has been very strongly expressed. Dovica.—The sad news of Mr. Canning's death 'ins created geat sensation here, and every mark of respect has been paid to his memory by hoisting the flags half-mast at the• public offices, and in the vessels in the harbour. FORGED LETTERS OF CREDIT. A system of forgery has been lately detected in Portugal, where it has been carried on to a my .treat extent, by a person who passes himself off in -4ome places as the Hon. Mr. Howard, and in others is. the Hon. Major Stanhope. When he adopts the former name, he describes himself as the nephew of Lord Howard de Walden, and says that he is a Captain of the Lancers; when he is a Stalles hope, he represents himself as a near relative to the late eccentric nobleman. He has by impudence of tddress contrived to get into his possession consider-- Able sums of money from some of the first firms in Portugal, who believed him to he a gentleman of rank, fortune, and character, until they found that the recommendations which he presented to them were all forgeries, and that. they were robbed of their money. He managed to put letters directed-to the houses in question into the Pest-offiee in London, -ind to reach the destination of those letters as soon As the letters themselves; and he contrived to be the bearer of the duplicates, and to follow them up oy an immediate application for cash. The letters which he forged were to the following effect :-- London, 7th Eebruary, Oporto. Sir,—We have this day given to the Honourable Mr. Howard (a gentleman of the highest respectability, and of noble connexions in this country, and who has been ad vised by his medical attendants to visit Portugal for the be nefit of his health) a letter of credit upon you for the ,um of 250/., which you will be pleased to pay to him on 1 1 our account, and which we hereby pledge ourselves to pay. We are, &c. - BARCLAY, TRITTON, and Co. This depredator has obtained sums of money by similar means at Lisbon, Brussels, Rotterdam, and the Hague. Some of the London bankers were astonished at receiving acknowledgments of the letters presented by the Honourable Mr. Howard, as the schemer designated himself. The police have received orders to look after and the following description is given of him :—A slight figure, be tween five feet seven and five feet eight, fair com plexion, very light hair, slightly marked with the small-pox : has lost a front tooth, sometimes wore mustachios, and is about 33 years of age.
