LAW INTELLIGENCE. -(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. BOUCHER V. BUCKLER. I Ili sßbsitiP stated, that in this case three gen tiemea, named Boucher, Buckler, and Protheroe, took a lease of a colliery in Monmouthshire, in 1821, tor 21 years. It appeared from the affidavit of Mr. Protheroe that the parties never intended personally to work the colliery, but to make it advantageous by letting. All the cir cums t ances o f t h e case supporte d this affidavit, the situations, residences of the par ties, &c. Immediately on getting this lease they let the colliery for six years to another gentleman ; before this under lease had expired, Boucher and Buckler died, and their representatives, with Mr. Protheroe (the original lessee), were the parties now before the Court; and they entered into an agreement to let the colliery to a Mr. Williams for another six years. The original landlord then com plained that a level had been driven into a part of the mine not originally demised, and which had been agreed to be let . to Mr. Williams. Mr. W. refused consequently to take possession. A meeting was next held by Mr. Protheroe and the two representa tives (Messrs. Boucher and Buckler), to consider Whether legal proceedings ought to be instituted to Compel Mr. Williams to take possession; and the result of that meeting was, from the nature of the agreement that had been entered into, Mr. W.'s pe cuniary circumstances, &c. it was deemed advisable that no proceedings should be taken. An offer was then made by another gentleman to take the col liery, at a rental that would yield 3501. each to the three parties. Mr. Boucher refused to let at a less sum than would yield to him 4001. The other two felt certain that they could not get a higher tender than had already been made, and determined, at all yents, to let their shares of th colliery, which they did, Mr. Boucher then filed his bill against all the other parties, and prayed for an injunction to restrain the implements, working of the colliery, and use of the tools, Plissed the motion for the injunction; and his Lord ship also thought that if he were to grant the injunc tion he would do great injustice to the defendants, and great unkindness to Mr. Boucher himself. The issuing of the injunction would stop the working of the colliery, would drive away the customers, and t hrow the premises into a state of; dilapidation, and, tithe same time, leave the lessee responsible to the „ n ginal landlord for the rent; and therefore the 1 -ourt di sm issed the motion with costs. IN THE MATTES. OF ritAxic, A LUNATIC. Mr. WAKEFIELD stated that this was the petition of Sir Wm. Cooke, the Committee for a reference upon the subject of repairs. It prayed that a person might be ordered to survey, inspect the estates of the lunatic, and report what repairs ought to be made. Mr. HORNE appeared on the other side, and sub mitted that the terms of this proposed reference Were too large. His LORDSHIP knew, from his own experience, that taking a walk over estates, with this view, was not unattended with considerable expence. Mr. HORNS observed, that estates perambulated With this view ought to have clods of gold. He had ao objection to its being referred to the Master, to inquire and state what necessary repairs ought to be effected. Sir CHAS. W ETHERELL presente d anot h er pet i t i on in the sam e matter, which stated that some time ago an in junction had issued against one of the tenants, named Bur gees, res t ra i n i ng him from cutting down timber, and which prayed that the Court would order this tenant to deliver up the possession of the farm he held. Mr. PARKER appeared to approve this petition, on the ground that it asked that which a Jury alone could declare. Sir CHAS. Went ZRELL had no objection to make a re ference to the Master, to inquire whether any proceedings should be instituted with a view to torn Mr. Burgess out of Possession. Mr. PARKER agreed to this reference, and Hie LORDSHIP directed it accordingly. WINDSOR, AUG. 12.—This forenoon, the 1(114,3 , accompanied by the Lord Steward, the Hon. Mr. a nd Mrs. A.

Mr. Canning's funeral will take place on Thursday next, at one o'clock, in Westminster Abbey. It is to be strictly private. The rela tives, the colleagues in the Cabinet, the Secre taries, and medical attendants of the deceased Minister, have alone been invited to attend in Downing -street, to go from thence in procession to the Abbey. Many friends having, however, expressed theil wish to pay this last tribute of respect to Mr. Canning 's memory, they have been requested to meet the procession at the Abbey ; and they will wait its arrival in the Jerusalem Chamber, where they will be admitted, through the Dean's house, by tickets, which will be delivered to them, on application to Mr. Jarvis, the undertaker, 139, Long Acre. The offers of carriages to attend the funeral have been declined ; and the carriages of those who are invited to Downing-street will alone be permitted to attend. THE MARKETS.--(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE. The report of English supplies last week was moderate, but of Foreign Oats extraordinarily large. This morning there are short quantities of all descriptions of English Corn fresh up, but more vessels continue to come in from abroad with Oats. There is a heavy trade for Wheat this morning, and such samples as are not superfine may be bought at rather lower prices than on this day se'nnight. Barley meets a dull sale at last quotations. There are scarcely any Beans at market. New White Pease come in rather freely, and sell at 40s. to 455. per quarter ; Grey Pease continue scarce. Although the market is so very full of Oats, yet the factors stand out for the same prices as last Monday, and in only a few instances have they submitted to take less money. The Flour trade is very heavy, but the top price is unaltered. PRICES ON BOARD or SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) -s. -s. Beans; Small (new)... 505. 53e. White (old) Red (1826) ... 50s. 544.

CANNING. EXTRACTS FROM THE SUNDAY PAPERS. (From the John Bull.) • Ardently adMiring Mr. Canning's powerful abili ties, it was always with the deepest regret we found ourselves called upon to censure his public conduct. His last association with the Whigs was his crown ing fault—if he had kept himself aloof from a coali- tion with men whose politics and principles formed the nerer-ceasing subjects of his ridicule and con . tempt ; if be , had gone into retirement instead of taking office in company with them, we should have been able to add to our respect and affection for him as a father, a husband, a relation, and a friend, the tribute of our admiration of his public character. But God's will be done ! (From the Atlas.) The melancholy circumstance which has kept our countrymen on the watch for the last week, and which, in the page of history, will mark the year 1827, will serve to show how far the destinies of nations are influenced by the fate of individuals. If ever a man was snatched away at a moment when the interests of his country seemed to depend upon his welfare, surely this may be said of the late Minister; and yet, perhaps, a few months will show us that the tide of public affairs has continued to flow in its accustomed channel, and that the star which seemed alone to guide us from unseen rocks and dangerous shoals, was only more brilliant than many others that will appear to answer the same purpose, with equal usefulness, though far inferior splendour. The events of the life of Mr. Canning, and more peculiarly the later incidents of it, are calculated to invest his sudden disappearance from the theatre of the world with a remarkable character of solemnity, and to impress on the heart, with overpowering force, those lessons on the vanity of human expecta tions, which, except in moments of excitement, fall upon an idle ear. To conquer and to lose the fruits of victory is hard. The whole of Mr. Canning's life has been one arduous struggle between the energy of his talents and the circumstances of the times.— Among the leaders of events he has always seemed a man too many—he has shone a meteor, brilliant in deed, but as if in want of a regular orbit. Just as the force of public ()Onion and the disposition of af fairs had at length drawn him into a path of glorious usefulness, his light is extinguished. The most me lancholy of all spectacles is to observe high aspira tions and great endowments struggling for a sphere of honourable and patriotic exertion, and in the mo ment of attainment to see them broken down by bodily suffering, and finally sink unde.r_ the weak ness and perishableness of mortality. The past week has been a favourable season for exaggerations of all kinds. We can easily understand and make allow ance for the natural expressions of a fresh sorrow; but the language of a recent epitaph is seldom im partial, even when it is not dishonest. In the few words we shall say of the character of the late states man, we shall attempt a nearer approach to the calm decisions of history. It is difficult to forsee the effects of his sudden loss on the conduct of the national interests. Whe ther by the accident of the times, by the advice of colleagues, or as the result of his own enlightened mind and excellent disposition, the late Minister had certainly been fortunate in establishing a good sys tem of things, both as respects our foreign relations and the domestic concerns of the country. That system will probably remain in force whoever may succeed him, as it is most desirable it should. It is even likely, so far from their being a change of sys tem, that there will be no material change of men. Lord Goderich has been commissioned by the King to fill up the blank; and instead of attempting to supply the deficiency by a single individual, each Member of the Cabinet will probably be called upon to lend his best efforts to close up the odious va cuum. Collectively, they will no doubt form an able and efficient Ministry. They may seem to want a leader, to urge by his example and encourage by his voice ; but should they find themselves supported by public opinion, we doubt not that they will ad vance steadily and without flinching to the accom plishment of the great and useful measures which were only contemplated by their late distinguished chief. (From the Sunday Times.) Death has, since we last addressed our readers, struck a noble quarry ; and exacted one of the greatest victims which the country could spare for his insatiable altar. George Canning is no more. Another Prime Minister has fallen a sacrifice to the anxieties of office, and added another to the four who have succumbed in so short a time—Fox, Pitt, Londonderry, and Liverpool. What an awful lesson to ambition. Of the three last, including himself, he was by far the most distinguished for talent, elo quence, energy, and liberality. He, in fact, embodied the rising hope of the human, species; and the blow which has been struck by his death will shake " Earth's young Republics" like an earthquake, and fill with mourning not this country only, but the whole civilized world. His measures are before the world, and have controlled the world. An emanci pated hemisphere bears testimony to their wisdom-- the progress of Constitutional principles among Con tinental States proves their efficacy—whilst the staunching of Christian blood in the East has sur rounded the death-bed of the expiring Minister with the prayers and blessings of an half-extermi nated people. The death of such a man would have been a heavy loss at any time, and of such a man, holding a high office, a national calamity; but at this moment the loss of Mr. Canning will be felt still more intensely. Since he last came into office he has been distinguished as the framer of a liberal line of policy before unknown ; and having at length become the leader of his Sovereign's Coun cils, he was no doubt prepared to give the utmost extent of practical value to what had been before confined by circumstances to the enlightened mind in which it was engendered. To Mr. Canning, liberated America, Constitutional Portugal, suffer ing Greece, and expectant Ireland, looked with earnest hope for assistance and support. A sum mary of what he has accomplished during the short time since Lord Castlereagh's death, will best exemplify the vis animi of the deceased Statesman, will best demonstrate the claims lie has left to the world's gratitude ; and best pourtray the blank which his loss has occasioned. He detached Eng land from the cruel chariot-wheels of the Holy Alli ance, almost before the families of that body could look round them and discover the hand which set her free. The invasion of Spain was rendered, by Mr. Canning's dexterity and spirit, little more noxious in its result than it was defensible in its origin; and the world saw contrasted an outrage by France en the Spaniards, with a blessing conferred by England on the Americans. Constitutional Portugual has been upheld against the House of Bourbon, by diplo matic skill and military energy, so directed and justified as to protect the civil rights of the people of that kingdom. The spirit through which the whole south of Europe must one day vindicate the liberties of man, has been kept alive, and ready for seasonable exercise, by the mere notoriety that Mr. Canning was Minister. At home, whatever has been attempted by his Government has been at tempted well. The principles which he would have realised, had life been granted, were those under which the poor man's food would have been in creased, and the national expenses considerable econo mised. So much for his public character as regards the teno r o f hi s F ore i gn Di p l omacy . In his more do mestic capacity of Minister and Statesman the loss will be equally felt. " Who ' "is the gen era l quest i on, "can ad equa t e ly su pply hi s place ?" " No one," is the universal reply. We " shall not look on his like again," is the common exclamation. He might be called, like Cassius, one of the Ultimi Romanorum— a relic of the great school of Burke, and Sheridan, and Fox, one of the age of giants gone by, who sur vived the golden age of demi-gods to live in an age of brass; or, to use the words of Ossian, the " Sons of little men." In an intellectual point of view, the deceased Statesman was one of the most gifted in dividuals of the present age; he was the possessor of an almost unequalled union of grace and genius, of powerful and brilliant imagination, and the most correct judgment. As art orator, Mr. Canning pos sessed talents of the most striking and first-rate cha racter. Gifted by nature with an easy and elegant flow of language, and a ready command of all the graces and flowers of rhetoric, his speeches will ever be read with admiration of the highly classic spirit which breathes throughout them,the graceful figures with which they arc adorned, and the accurate rea soning he adopted in arguffient. In private life and its endearing and sacred telations, Mr. Canning bears the repute of having been estimable and ex emplary. The friends of his youth were attached and devoted to him, while he is said to have been gaining rapidly on his friends of more recent acqui sition. It is stated on authority that Mr. Canning had long been in a bad state of health, and the ex treme anxieties which have attended ,his career during the last few months, must have greatly aggra vated the disorder under which he laboured. During the excitement of action, he appears to have borne up against the ills which assailed him ; but since the closing of the last Session of Parliament, and the comparative calm which that event occasioned, he has been observed to have been .depressed and drooping. It may be, as is the case of highly ' tempered steel, that men of Mr. Canning's fine mind are more exposed to injury than those formed of ruder materials; but we believe that in the late deplorable case, as in many others, the man has been sacrificed to the Minister; and that, had the same timely attention been bestowed by Mr. Canning on his bodily health, which men in ordinary circum stances would have paid to it, elen at the expellee of what formed by far the more prominent object of his care—his public duties—he might still have been spared to the hopes and wishes of the many admirers of his genius and knowledge. Of the general ac count which has been given of Mr. C.'s illness, de tails will be found in other parts of our Paper; and it is melancholy to reflect how liable individuals, in exalted stations like his, are to be lost to their coun try from want of the necessary care of their health. It will be recollected, that to the late Lord London derry no medical assistance • was summoned until a short time before the dreadful act which terminated his life was committed, although it cannot be doubted that his health had been in a highly dangerous state for some considerable time; and - with regard to Lord Liverpool, the blow which threatened to deprive him of sense, if not of life, actually fell on him with out his having had recourse to medical advice at all. It is said openly that Mr. Canning died of a broken heart in consequence of the calumnies lavished on him. We do not believe it. Can it be imagined that Mr. Canning would have cared one jot for all the foul and putrid calumnies which the common sewer of the Press, and the diseased and pariar caste of society, could vomit againt the foot of the rock of public confidence on which he stood?— Away with such imbecility ! Mr. Canning had been too used to an atmosphere of scorching per sonality, poured in all its blaze reciprocally on all public men, during that age of giants, the French Revolution, to more than laugh at the paper pallets of the pigmy insects who have lately tried to attract attention to their ant-hill by the bustle of their microscopic motions. AVe will not degrade the de funct Statesman by surmising that he condescended to any other feeling for such trash than contempt. It is but too true, however, that be sank, like some of the fabled demi-gods, Bellerophon or Theseus, un der the weight of the gigantic but glorious task he had conceived and undertaken for the benefit of mankind. It is but too true, we fear, that his phy sical powers were overwhelmed between the Allan lean cares of the business of the world. There is one great satisfaction (and it is of both a political and moral nature), that the great Statesman died fully possessed of the friendship and confidence of the King. It is stated, on undeniable authority, that no friend or brother the most attached could have ma nifested more earnest anxiety than the King conde scended to demonstrate for his dying Minister. An individual much esteemed by his Majesty was the repeated messenger of his Royal inquiries and soli citudes to the sick man's chamber. What we have further to state is, if possible, still more affecting to us as men, and interesting to us as citizens. We have been informed that, in some of those intervals, when the suspension of pain, or of the insensibility produced by the narcotic remedies resorted to, left the mind of the sufferer at liberty, not merely did he recal, with diligent recollection, the subjects of public interest which had habitually occupied him, but he recommended the prosecution of the present system of British policy, at home and abroad, with eloquent and affecting solemnity, to be conveyed, as _a dying prayer, to his Royal Master. It is said that he obtained a Royal promise to the above effect be fore he breathed his last, and that it contributed greatly to the ease of his dying moments. But whe ther this be the case or not, the deep and irremov able anxiety of Mr. Canning on topics which could never more affect his worldly fortunes, bears ho nourable evidence to the sincerity of his patriotism, and to the lofty character of that ambition which possessed and sustained him at the last. This no ble conduct revives the memory of Greek and Ro man worthies. In contemplating this deep-rooted patriotic feeling, and especially connected with the misgivings out of which it mainly grew, we recal Cicero's sublime description of the death of a Ro man Statesman : Vidi, etiani vidi et eam hausi dolorern vel acerbissi mem in vito cum Caius Marcellus abstraheretur e sinu gremioque Patrice ; quo quidem tempore, ille moriens, cum jam ceteris ex partibns oppresssa mens met, Extre mum Sens= Ad Memoriam Reipublieze Reservabat !"

CANNING. —T h e loss of such an individual to the country, at the present juncture, even his adversaries must admit, is a calamity greatly to be deplored, and the vacancy not easy to be supplied. Had it pleased an all wise Providence to have spared him to witness the effect of the liberal course of po licy he has introduced—to have perfected and brought into operation his plan for reducing th e expenditure, and lightening the public burthens— he would have enjoyed undivided popularity, as the liberal minded portion of his opponents would doubt less have obliterated all former recollections of what they termed political inconsistency, and have esteem ed his labours for the national benefit as an ample atonement. Unfortunately for the country it has been otherwise decreed. He who firmly held the helm of state amidst the storms and convulsions of party strife or clamour, has sunk to everlasting rest, and the tear of public sympathy will bedew his grave. But— " Can storied urn, or animated bust, ":sack to its mansion call the fleeting breath ? "Can honour's voice provoke the silent dust, " Or flatt'ry sooth the dull cold ear of death ?" (From the Leeds Mercury of Saturday.) The death of the Minister will excite deep con cern and alarm throughout the nation. Very seldom has any one man concentrated upon himself so many hopes and expectations as Mr. Canning. The Mar quis of Rockingham, whose tenure of ministerial supremacy was as short as Mr. Canning's, was much inferior to him in talents and in personal distinction, though superior in moral dignity : their situation in some respects bore a remarkable correspondence, each having triumphed over a bigotted Tory faction, who had long held the reins of power, and each consti tuting the point of union to an Administration formed in some degree of discordant materials : but there was this distinction between the two Premiers, that whilst Lord Rockingham combined under him men superior to himself in abilities, Mr. Canning rose above his colleagues it much in talents as in place; and we pray Oft there may be a still greater difference in the result, and that the present Administration, agreed as its mem bers are on the most important questions, may maintain their union, and continue to administer the affairs of the country. We certainly shall not equal Mr. Canning with Fox and Pitt, either in point of talent, or in the importance which they derived from the critical circumstances of the country; but, with the exception of those great men, it would be diffi cult to name another in modern times, upon whose existence so much seemed to hang, and whose disso lution created such universal anxiety.. We do not say that Mr. Canning has not left behind him men his equal in genius, but he has left none who ap proach him in the qualifications of a statesman— none who unite so extensive a capacity with a judg ment so solid, and a practical experience so valuable— above all, none who enjoy in nearly so high a degree the favourand confidence of their king and country. It might seem a mysterious providence, that men of the highest accomplishments and attainments should be so frequently cut off in the very midst of their usefulness, if it were not obviously designed to teach us " what shadows we are, and what shadows we are pursuing." Mr. Canning's character, political, moral, and in tellectual, is too large a subject to be discussed in the scanty limits we could now allot to it. The state of our columns will sufficiently account for the postponement of our remarks on' this head till next week ; and it may be, that a review of the charac ter of the deceased will be writ4cri with more calm impartiality, when the first shock occasioned by the news of his death has subsided.• We would now merely indicate, that his character assumes very dif ferent features at different periods of his life; that his splendid talents long lay under a clbud ; that he was far less respected, and less entitled to respect; when in a subordinate than when in a leading sta tion ; that, with a naturally generous and amiable disposition, and with a fine perception of what was due both to himself and to others, there were cer tain defects in his temper and moral qualities, which sometimes compromised his dignity, and entailed upon him very disagreeable consequences; but that, when circumstances called him to the post for which nature seemed to have destined him, and when he was released from the trammels in which he had before acted, the higher qualities of his character at once developed themselves, and he entitled himself to the admiration of his country, of Europe, and of the world. (From the Pottery Mercury of Saturday.) DEATH QF THE RIGHT HON. GEORGE CANNING. Statesman, yet friend to truth ! of soul sincere, In action faithful, and in honour clear ! Ennobled by liiinself, by all approved, . .. - Praised, wept, and honour'd, by the muse he loved. It is this week, our melancholy and unexpected duty to announce the death of a man whose loss has left a blank in every department of life in which he moved, which it will be difficult to fill up ; that man is the Right Hon. George Canning. His actions need no eulogy from us ; there is no need of our penning even a summary of the claims which this distinguished and deeply lamented statesman has upon the memory of his countrymen. His career was too splendid not to attract the eye of all. His genius —and his genius alone, gave hini a name rich in honours in every civilized nation of the world.— Never did a statesman depart from the stage of earthly existence more beloved and more lamented; and so long as splendid talents, united with public virtues and private worth, are revered and beloved, so long will the name of Canning be cherished in the hearts of Britons. (From the Berwick Advertiser.) DEATH OF MH. CANNING,—The death of Mr. Canning has plunged the country into the deepest consternation and sorrow. The loss of a man of his talents would at any time be a national calamity, but it is peculiarly so at the present crisis, when not withstanding the'unparalleled vituperation, scurrility, and abuse heaped upon him by the Ultra-Tory press, he, under the auspices of a discriminating and en lightened Sovereign, and assisted by some of the most intelligent Statesmen of the age, had just en tered upon a career of liberal policy calculated to promote not only the best interests of the British Empire, but of the civilized world. What the con sequences may be we will not presume to anticipate. We trust his Majesty, in appointing his successor, will display the same manly and independent spirit that he (lid on a late trying occasion. The melancholy tidings cast a gloom on all de scriptions of people here, even on those who gene rally take very little interest in politics. Imme diately after the arrival of the mail, by order of the Mayor, the great bell began tolling. (From the Bucks Chronicle.) That we are among the number who greatly de:- plore the loss of Mr. Canning, we frankly confess. Independent of his talents, which we always ad mitted, even when we regretted their waywardness, and the levity with which they were accompanied, we have, of late, respected his disposition from the liberal choice he made in the selection of his col leagues in administration. Uniting in himself qualities of different kinds,he kept together characters which, without him, might not have coalesced. He was the key-stone of the arch; and we shall rejoice if our fears should prove unfounded—and that his re moval may not disjoin the structure he had reared. (From the Caledonian Mercury of Saturday, Aug. 11.) This roost melancholy and distressing event ha% spread a deep gloom over the whole face of society ; and with the exception of those few base and malig nant spirits in whom bitterness of political animosity is not appeased by that which extinguishes the hatred of other men, there is not an individual by whom this afflicting visitation of Providence has not been felt as if it had been a private deprivation. Never did we hear such deep lamentation, never did we witness such sincere and heartfelt sorrow for the loss of any public man. Every one seems struck with dismay, and in the general grief and sorrow which is felt all meaner thoughts and concerns have been for the moment quenched. A few short months have only elapsed since this illustrious statesman was elevated to the highest place in his Majesty's Councils, and by the firm and stedfast support of his Sovereign, enabled to organize an Administration composed of men prepared to co operate with their Leader in his great and enlightened plans for promoting the prosperity and welfare of his country. What difficulties he had to surmount, what opposition he had to encounter, what ranco rous calumny to endure, the world needs not be told; but he was sustained by the unalterable confidence of his Sovereign, by the cheering support of the nation, and by the energy of his own lofty character, and he tri umphed over all the despicable artifices and cabals of his enemies. Anew era seemed to havedawned ; •the change was hailed with acclamation by the friends of liberty in other countries; and Britain once more resumed her proper rank among the na tions, as not only herself free, but the protec tress of the free. But, alas ! for human hopes and human greatness, the sky which was lately so bright has been overshadowed by a dark and threatening cloud, while the most resplendent orb in our political firmament has been extinguished for ever. A catastrophe like this reads an awful and impressive lesson to individuals as well as nations, and warns us, in the day of prosperity and glory, not to forget the frail and precarious tenure by which the noblest blessings of this world are enjoyed. What Mr. Canning was in mind, in genius, and in character, is known even to the humblest of our countrymen ; to what a pitch of greatness and re nown he might have raised his country, had Provi dence been pleased to prolong his life, it would indeed be difficult to over-estimate. But, unhappily, his glorious race is run; and our only consolation now is the retrospect of his splendid career, and the con soling conviction that his name will be inscribed in the brightest page of his country's annals. With that name how few are there which impartial history can ever bring into competition ! The scholar, the wit, the orator, the statesman, the patriot—the beloved of his country, the friend of his Sovereign— the stay and hope of the liberal and enlightened of all nations—to say nothing of those kindly affections and zealous attachments which shed a benignant radiance on his private character;—these are an assem blage of qualities and advantages such as only fall to the lot of a few of those happy natures , iiiii:forgealln g .......,,,.

But the fire of that genius, which at once illuminated and warmed, the splendour of that eloquence which was never heard without delight, and the pulses of that heart which so lately beat high with hope, are quenched for ever; Death has put his eternal seal upon all that we once loved and admired; and we have now only to bow with reverent humility under that disaster which has for the present eclipsed the prospects of nations, and deprived the cause of liberty all over the world of its greatest, most powerful, most in trepid, and most eloquent champion. (From the Scotsman of Saturday.) Mr. Canning, the gifted and talented man, the be loved friend, the popular Minister, is ne more I In th sudden and unexpected removal of our Premier from e transient stage of existence, England, Europe, Hu manity, has sustained a heavy calamity. Genius has lost a son—the civilized world, at a critical pe riod, a most influential friend. Every one truly in terested in the welfare of his species, feels as if he had lost a brother. For five years the humblest loves' of his country has been able to breathe freely—to sleep in confidence—withoutfear of spies, informers, arrests, or imprisonments ;—every one has been able to enjoy his own thoughts, since opinion, compared with what it was, has been free—traducing and vili fying the worthy had ceased to be creditable with authority or grateful to power ;—talent and charac ter have been gradually resuming their true stations, and a healing and benign spirit had so spread its in fluence through society, that, although reptiles still existed and were even busy, the absorbents of the nation had acquired such healthy conditions that they would not receive the poison. But in this mo ment, which can hardly fail to be one bordering on despondency, the patriot feels as if the load which he felt removed from his breast by the death of a Minister in August 1822, were about to be replaced in con sequence of a similar event in 1827. The one tn.i nister had lowered the name of England abroad, as well as the standard of political rectitude at home, while, if motives are to be inferred from acts, his great aim was to oppose or thwart every thing, in every quarter of the world, that tended to meliorate the condition of his species. The other speedily broke the chain which bound England to despotism, made her stand forth, as of old, the friend and ally, if not the champion of national freedom; and having restored his country to her good name abroad, he gave peace and confidence at home—rooting out disaffection from the land; and, by means of justice, forbearance, and kindness, binding the people to the throne, and the king to the people. No wonder, hen, that results so grateful to benevolence, so credi table to talent, as these, should have become gall and wormwood to men whose superiority over people was to be maintained only byseparation, by heapingscorrt and contumely on all below them—by encroaching 3n their rights, wounding and irritating their feel ings—and then, after generating misery, not only exclaiming against discontent, but also taking the knife and the cautery to a disease, produced by themselves, and which was to be cured only by hav ing recourse to a simple and inoffensive regimen.— This is the language which we employed in February IBl7—it is doctrine which was inculcated by Burke in his better days, which has been inculcated by an enlightened press for about half a century, and and suffering , to the which Mr. C ann i ng i n th e year 1826 — a year w hi c h , for British histor y —subjected depression has test n o o f Paiei experience. in For this practical illustration of the principle that a Government known to mean well will always have a patient and affectionate people Mr. Canning, had he done no thi ng e l se, would have deserved immortality. But the public proceedings of the last few months have proved beyond all doubt that, from the death of Lord Londonderry, Mr- Canning has been struggling with his late colleagues for a sounder policy, both foreign and domestic. the veil, it may be said, has just been rent which concealed the brighter and better part of his cha racter. In shaking off the Holy Alliance—in recognizing the infant liberties of Southern Ame rica —and, beyond all, in striving to carry Eng land through a crisis, by means of knowledge and right, instead of ignorance and coercion—by adopting sound principles of trade, instead of resorting to temporary expedients—by introducing economy for waste into the finances, and securing Ireland from convulsions by elevating the law above faction, and (in design at least) removing all political disa bilities on account of religious opinions—Mr. Can ning offended so often and deeply the ignorance and bigotry of colleagues, who would have their unen lightened will, or in other words, their short-sighted and paltry notions of exclusive interests, bear down the laws, and supplant the conditions of our moral and physical nature, that, fortunately for him and his country, they at length broke out into open mutiny; and then it was he gave proof that, in spite of old connections, he was ready to ally himself with knowledge and intellect, and to fight the battle of the country against mere rank and pre judice. Now, however, it is apparent that he had been worn out with the previous struggle—a result which happens oftenest to those endowed with the finer sensibilities of our nature—but for him who could throw off the coils of habit, who could realise so much good, and who occupied his_last moments in conceiving so much more, there is surely, now that the mortal coil is thrown off, a reward in another and better life, of even a higher nature than the admira tion and gratitude of his country. We have seen a halo around him at the close of hie earthy career ; and we will not look backwards for spots that may have been seen on the disc of a luminary, whose set ting radiance has been so pure—se intensely brilliant.
