It is singular that Mr. CANNING died in the same room as the late CHARLES JAMES Fox. lieve that the gross and .vulgar. attacks to which . he has been, without a day's intermission, ex- posed, and which made the nation blush to think that her high places were polluted by men who could condescend to such unworthy means of warfare, were the work of cool malignity, aware of the success with which it would be attended. 'We 'cannot believe that the titled ruffians who poured, out day after day their coarse abuse on one who must, more than any one circumstance, have felt, the mortification of having to be considered as opposed to enemies so unworthy of him, aimed their blows in the guilty consciousness of their effect on their enemy. But if we admit that i they betook themselves to calumny and rnisrepre -I:;entation, if they fabricated the constant lie with la less fiendish design than that to which we have alluded, it is not the less true, that they have murdered Mr. CANNING. He has been as much destroyed by these wretched creatures as if they had held the poisoned cup to his mouth, or struck their victim with a dagger to the heart. In his full vigour and strength Mr. CANNING might have treated their efforts. with contempt. but enfeebled by , a long illness, from which it was obvious to the most superficial observer he had never sufficiently recovered, he was in that state of morbid excitability which left him pecu liarly open' to the attacks to which he was neces sarily exposed. He has thus fallen under the blows of his. mean. and wtorthless enemies, who have now the satisfaction f . 4nowing that they deprived the country of tim,frwhose elevation was such a humiliation to them: p ving, as it did to the nation, the low estii hich was taken of their capacity. 4111 et When we think of th s th e na ti on h as sustained, and of the caus o which we are to attribute it, we cannot restrain our indignation. It is grievous to know that a life so valuable to England and to Europe should have been thus taken. But the hour at which we write forces us to pauie.--Sye must reserve to anoth e r ti me what we have to say on this event. CHISWICK, TwO O'CLOCK THIS DAr. (FROM 017 R CORRESPONDENT.) The intense anxiety excited among all the household at Chiswick House, and the neigh bourhood, by Mr. CANNING'S illness, seemed, if possible, to deepen towards its close. A short time before his death he became compa ratively collected, and free from pain.— Mrs. CANNING was with him throughout the night—indeed she hal scarcely once left his bed-side since the commencement of his illness— and towards . morning, about ten minutes before his dissolution, became so overpowered by tthe result of a few broken sentences, addressed at intervals to her by Mr. CANNING, that she fainted, andwas removed insensible from the room. She had scarcely quitted it, when her husband, whose energies appeared to have rallied for an in aant, suddenly relaxed, stupefaction ensued,and he died without a struggle. There is one truly affecting circumstance connected with the closing moments of Mr. CANNING'S life; he expired, it seems, almost on the instant that his wife had quitted the room, yet, up to this hour, she knows not that she is a widow. At prisent the answer to her almost momentary enquiries is, that Mr. CANNING is still in the same state: Every stratagem, in short, that kindness or inge nuity can suggest, is made use of in order to prevent her from resuming her station beside her husband's bed. As soon as the fatal event had occurred, mes sengers were dispatched in every direction.-- It appears, however, that Prince LEOPOLD was not apprised of it, as a servant of his arrived early this morning to inquire after Mr. , CA N- N I NG'S health. The Duke of PORTLAND was the first ac quainted with the melancholy intelligence, on hearing which he instantly set out for Chiswick, where he still remains. The shock throughout the neighbourhood and to the numerous visitors, when it first became generally known, vas incon ceivable ; many disbelieved the fact, so compa ratively flattering were the accounts of last night; besides, it was remembered by some that even Mr. CANNING himself had shared in the defu sion ; and as late as three o'clock yesterday, had been heard to say, " If I get over this day, I think I shall do."—would to GoD it had LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(THIS DAY.) she had fallen on -crocicery-ware the wound inigh:_r SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) 4 THE GLASGOW S have been inflicted that way. t; COURT OF CHANCERY. s t , This was the case for the prosecution. ..

The Learned Judge passed the sentence of the law in the usual form. The prisoner appeared quite unconcerned, and was removed from the bar with less appearance of feeling than was evinced by many of the fair specta tors who thronged the Court. After the prisoner's removal the Foreman of the Jury, forwarded a recommendation of mercy, on the grounds of the prisoner's youth, and the prisoner's good character. The application was seconded by the prosecutrix. The LEARNED JUDGE said it would give him heartfelt pleasure to attend to the application, if, upon a review of the case, he fouhd it consistent with his public duty. Edward Baker was indicted for killing and slay ing James Backhurst in a pugilistic contest on the 9th of last April. Eli Chandler, C.

Lambert was indicted, under Lord Ellen borough's Act, for cutting and maiming Eliza Moore, with intent to kill her. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutrix, that she keeps a little shop at Nutfield, and occupies a small house, the shop was fastened up for the night on the even ing of the 18th April ; the prisoner came and knocked at the door; it was about half-past eight. Witness went and opened the door and the pri soner came in and asked for a hat. , Witness had no one in the shop, but went into a little store-room adjoining, where prisoner followed her. He then followed her into the shop again, and said that he wanted a rummer glass. The prisoner knew that the glass was kept in the little room. Wit ness went in, took down a glass, and asked if it was that size he wanted? he replied no, and put out the candle. Witness went into the kitchen for a light, and came back into the room, and prisoner pointed out a glass on the shelf. As wit ness was reaching it down, he gave her a vio lent blow upon the b ac k part of her head, and before she could turn round he gave her an-I other, and the candle dropped out of her hand; she tried to ward off the blows from her head with her arms, but he kept striking her, and she then cried " murder," two or three times ; the prisoner kept beating her till she fell, and afterwards she had several blows over her arms and shoulders; she received one blow on her temple which cut Tight into her skull, and another very, deep one in her forehead. Witness afterwards showed' these cuts to Mr. Webb the surgeon. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—No other I surgeon came ; did not know that the prisoner's i father sent a surgeon to her. No words had I passed before she was struck; the prisoner's hat was 'knocked off; witness did not know that she knock ed it off before she received a blow; it was found in the room ; he, prisoner, had been in the habit of dealing at witness's shop; she fell over some Icrockery ware, after she had received several] blows. Did not know whether the prisoner put, out etc candle on purpose ; but thought it was l adcidental, witness's head fell against the crockery ware. There were a few.pans broken. Re-examined.—Prisoner did not pay for the hat, or take it away. She had received the blows before she fell. Never attempted to strike before she re ceived the blow. The shutters were up. It was usual for other persons to come at that hour at night to make purchases. Thomas Fuller, labourer, knew the prisoner. On the 14th April prisoner owed him 16s. On that evening, about eight o'clock, he said, that after their folks (meaning the people at the house where he lodged) were gone to bed he would pay witness. 'About half-past eight o'clock witness went to Mrs. `Moore's house, and saw her bleeding. He then found, outside the house, Underneath the :window, a piece of an iron haime (harness), which he gave to his brother. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—Witn ess saw ,prisoner at his house on the night in question; he had no iron or stick with him then. Mrs. Moore's house was about two minutes' walk from prisoner's house. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) William Fuller, brother to the last witness, was pre sent, and received the iron haime. He had a candle, and found a little blood upon it. The instrument which the witnesses found was here produced. It was very heavy, and had been broken off about the middle; it was a part of a cart haime, a piece of wood cased with iron, and had a jagged end when, it was broken, on which part the constable said he 'saw blood. MARYLEBONE OFFICE. CONCEALMENT OF CHILD-BIRTH Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—Saw pri soner at a public-house about ten minutes before eight, on the evening in question, and he had no instrument them; he was a very peaceable man, and 'lived in the village before that time. A wretched and enfeebled looking female, named Elizabeth Richards, 39 years of age, was brought before Mr. RAWLINSON this morning by one of the beadles of the parish of Marylebone, charged with concealing the birth of a child. Mrs. Ann Mary Prior, 135, Oxford-street, stated that she had been for some time back visiting at Mr. Jones's, tailor, Cavendish-street, whose house was lately burned down. For the last twelve months she saw the prisoner there, who lived as servant maid, &c. with a Mr. Cramer, a lodger of Mr. Jones's; witness observed lately her size increase to such a degree that she felt convinced she was in the family way, and communicated her suspicions to Mrs. Evans, Mr. Jones's niece, who lived with him, in order to put them on their guard. Witness, bow. ever, did not charge the prisoner with it, nor did the latter tell her of it of her own accord. Mrs. Louisa Evans, 25, Great Ogle-street, knew the prisoner for the last twelve months. She lived . with Mr. Cramer all the time at Mr. Jones's till she left him on Tuesday week, and came to live with witness, with whom she has lived since. Witness's husband was in the country at the time, and has not yet returned. The prisoner left Mr. Cra mer in consequence of a quarrel which she had with his son. She was to have gone to her mother's, but the latter was about to change her lodging, and not having got into a new one, the prisoner remained with witness. On Thursday last, witness was out during the day, and on her return in the evening found the prisoner very ill. Witness suspected at first she was with child, but she never asked her, nor did she tell voluntary. She was walking about the room when witness came in, and said she was very unwell, but that she (witness) need not be alarmed. Witness, however, went immediately, not- I withstanding the prisoner's remonstrances, for her mother, and on her return the prisoner informed them, that she was delivered of a still-born child. She was not in bed like any other person, nor was any person presentat the time. She slept with witness that evening, and told her that she had made preparations beforehand, but that she did not expect the time was so nigh. Witness did not see the child at all. Catherine Richardson, a decrepid old wid ow, mother of the prisoner, who lives at No. 38, Cleve land-street, said, that a good many years ago her daughter had a child, not now living, but was never! married. Witness knew for two months back, that the prisoner was again with child ; and spoke to her upon the subject, but never asked w ho was the father. The prisoner had pro vided some linen and things beforehand. Witness went at ten o'clock on Thursday evening, by Mrs. Evans's request, to see the prisoner;. when she ar rived her daughter told her all was over, that she had been insensible for two hours, without any per on being present, as Mrs. Evans was out all day, a nd that the child was still-born. Witness handled the child, which was quite perfect, but did not observe any marks of violence upon it to lead her to think that it was strangled at the birth, or otherwise ill-used. Witness was not judge enough to know from its appearance whether it was still born. She did not afterwards call in a doctor or the Coroner. Witness carried the child to be buried next morning (Friday) at St. James's, Clerkenwell. There were other people in the house. On the prisoner being asked why she did not call the people of the house to her assistance, she (said that being only a week in the house, and in the circumstances in which she was placed, she felt ashamed of doing so. Mr. RAWLINSON then ordered the prisoner, who was in an extremely exhausted condition, to be ,taken to the workhouse, to await a Coroner's In quest, and thereafter to be brought back to the Office.

Elizabeth Muggready stated, that on the 14th of April, she saw Mts. Moore the night she was hurt, and that on the Mond a y following, she found a hat in the store-room ; there was blood on it at the time. [The hat was here produced and identified.] John Field lent the prisoner a hat on the night in question, about nine o'clock.; he came to witness's house, and said he had had a scramble and had lost his hat; the prisoner came without a hat. Thomas Killner, publican, lived at Nutfield. Prisoner lodged with him. Saw the prisoner on the above night, about 20 minutes past eight o'clock. He came in, and asked for a candle to go up stairs. He was up stairs about ten minutes. When he came down, he appeared as if he was buttoning his frock. He went out directly. Witness did not see him afterwards, as he never returned to his lodgings. 14# Mr. CLARKSON.—The prisoner always bore a good and peaceable character. 'Mr. Robert Webb, surgeon at Bletchingley. —Examined Mrs. Moore ; she had several bruises en her head; witness saw her at a little after nine o'clock. There was one eery large wound on the right side of her head. it was cut and violently bruised. On the forehead there was a deep wound, on which there was no bruise. It was completely through to the bone. It was just above, the right eye. There were two wounds on the left side of the head as well those contusions. The prosecutrix was in a dangerous state for several days. By Mr. CLARKSON—The danger was from a con cussion of the brain from the bruises. The instru ment produced might cause such cuts without a bruise. The jagged end might have produced such a cut where there was bone to resist it. Witness did not know thg spot where Mrs. Moore fell. If, The harvest in Sheppy has commenced this week, and the crop come down very heavy ; from the high price of canary wed, many of the farmers in that 1914 ld have been induced to grow a good deal of that kind of grain, the soil being very favourable for it, and the ex periment promises a rich reward.—Maidsione Journal. 10,1 The wheat harvest commenced in the neigh bourhood of Canterbury at the beginning of this week, and owing to the beautiful weather we have hitherto had, it has come down very fast.

Yesterday the spinners of the respective mills were informed of the resolution. of the proprietors, and, by to-morrow night, tin less unconditional submission is made, 370,000, [Spindles will be at a stand ; and for the sake of 450 spinners, 3,150 piecers, reelers, .winders, carders, warpers, &c. will be thrown. idle,and 4 repetition of the former dreadful sufferings en dured by those unfortunately dependent. on the spinners will be the result. This week nine strange spinners have been set by the leaders as a watch on Abercromby-street-mill, to intimi date any new hands, if they should be engaged. None of the new spinners who were taught at the former strike, or are unconnected with the coin hination, have of course received warning ; and is determined by some of the proprietors to fill their works with new hands if the strike is persisted in. If the number of persons idle belonging to the leather trade were Lobe considered a criterion of its prosperity, it seems at present in a ['eery unsatisfactory state ; but there are Fr.,:uEr.r. cir cumstances to be considered, which may go a ;mat way in accounting for the apparently large number of superfluous bands at present roaming , through all parts of the country. The journey men curriers take the management of the trade into their own hands, fix the number of appren tices, and make regulations which must be strictly obeyed, or the result is, the journeymen will be put out of the pale of " the society," and heavily fined before they are again. admitted into its bosom ; and as for the employer, if he infringe on the rules of the London committee, his workmen leave'him in a body, and he is left to manage his business as he may. The conse 4uence is, that there . are hundreds of men, women, and children, doomed to perpetual tra elling, and subsisting on the relief. given by hose in work. Only the best hands are retained by the employers, and the men are frequently assessed 10s. a week to support the idle, who tramp" from town to town the whole year round, and live in this vagrant manner. Many have. been on the road for years, and having . got used to this idle life,. do not desire work.

HORTICULTURAL SOClETY.—Yesterday a meeting of the Members of the above-Society was held in Regent -street, J. ELLIOT, Esq. in the chair. The meeting was fully attended. A paper has been stuck in the meeting-room, stating the satisfactory manner in which the fete had gone off, but attaching blame to the purveyor foi not providing for 3,000 persons as he undertook, to do. Several new members were ballotted for. A fine collection of flowers and fruits were on the table, and after the members present had (partaken of the latter the meeting adjourned. LORD CIIIEF JUSTICE HOLT.-When Holt was Lord Chief Justice, he committed some enthusiasts to prison. The next day, one Lacy, who was of the same persuasion, went to his house, and asked to speak with him. The porter answered his Lordship was not well, and could not be seen. Lacy insisted that he must speak to him, for he was sent to him by the Lord. When this message was delivered, he obtained admittance. " I come," said he, from the Lord, commanding thee to grant a noli pro sequi to his faithful servants, whom thou hast unjustly committed to prison." " Thou canst not certainly have come from the Lord," replied Holt, " for he would have sent thee to the At torney General, knowing very well that it is not in my power to grant thy demand. Therefore thou art a false prophet, and shalt go and keep thy friends company in prison." Numbers of ruffianly fellows are to be seen every day with bull-dogs, and other savage dogs, which are so trained, that the moment their Mas ters point at any object, they snap at it. The, suburbs of the Metropolis abound with nuisances lof this description. On Monday last, as four ivagabonds, whO had, it was said, just been duck- Ihunting, were passing along Pentonville with four bull-dogs, one of them pointed at a fine mare in the gig of a medical gentleman, who re sides in Aldermanbury. Tho dog instantly ran lat the mare, and bit her in the leg, and were it not for the skill of the driver a desperate acci dent would, probably, have occurred. As soon 'as the fellows perceived that they had done mis chief, they turned. down a street with a horse ; laugh. They are, however, all of them known the Police all 'dog-stealers.
