CHAR 'TER of GEORGE CANNING The close of the Session of 1827 was soon followed by a lublic calamity, which again dismembered the Government, ,nd disappointed all those hopes which the genius and !nlightened principles of Mr. Canning had raised in the British nation. Parliament had no sooner separated than his able Minister issued orders to the heads of different de )artments, that they should transmit to him accurate and detailed accounts of the expenses connected with their seve ral establishments, with a view to the reduction of our na tional burdens : on the 15th of July he became seriously indisposed ; but after a few days of rest he determined to resume his official duties, notwithstanding the remonstrances of his medical attendants : on the 25th he retired, for change of air, to the beautiful seat of the Duke of Devonshire at Chiswick ; but the fatigues and cares of office, with the desertion and bitter hostility of his Ministerial colleagues, acting on a frame naturally irritable, and enfeebled by recent illness, hastened his dissolution, just when the ebullition of that hostility was contributing to develop his genuine con stitutional principles. His disease terminated in a severe inflammation of the bowels ; and, after suffering the most excruciating tortures, he breathed his last, on the Bth of August, in the same room where his great predecessor, Charles James Fox, expired. He was buried in Westminster Abbey, at the foot of Mr. Pitt's grave, and his funeral, though private, was attended by a large concourse of noble and estimable personages, among whom there was scarcely one to whom the illustrious deceased was not endeared by the ties of relationship, or the recollections of friendship and kindness. The public character of Mr. Canning was clearly seen in the altered policy of our Government, - both foreign and domestic, during his connexion with the 'Live...pool Ad-, ministration ; his ambition, like that of Chatl;ain, to whom: as a minister and statesman he bore the nearest resem blance, was lofty and imperious ; but it was directed to noble ends—to the glory of his own country and the advancement, through her greatness, of the best interests of other nations ; his anxiety was that all should benefit not only by her commercial pr os p er i ty, but by the bles sings o f her Constitution ; and when he was constrained to wield her thund , :rs, it was only to check the spirit of despotic tyranny, and to keep Great Britain in her na tural sphere as the protectress of those who aspired to , freedom. He exhibited a splendid - contrast' to certa i n cha , iraCters of the present day ; who, .having entered on public :life as the advocates of liberal and patriotic sentiments, haves 'degenerated into bigoted defenders of antiquated opinions, and selfish supporters of intolerable abuses ; Canning , on the cont rar y, th oug h party i n t ros ? ace d him into tire senate, and Tory principles long sc!.ce.red to him a place :n the Administration, gradually iraiii!)ed, and became insensi bly influenced by the free spirit. of the British Constitution ; until at length, enlightened by experience, be cast off the trammels of that oligarchy, with which early ambition had associated him, but to wltich he owed no natural allegiance. Being determined to uphold the noble fabric reared by our forefathers, he contemplated with horror any attempt to en danger its foundation, or to alter its character ; but when he found that the principles which he once professed began to threaten its safety, he abandoned them as far as he thought expedient ; and, conciliating his political opponerqs without submitting to their dictation, he availed himself of their assistance to carry on his measures of regenerr.tioti. England .regretted in him the most accomplished •Jrator that the enlightened spirit of the ago had yet produced ; and the liberal portion of Europe mourned over the toss of his moral influence, as a great ealamity* to the vr. orld at large."—History of England, by the Rev.

Captain Kerr represents the ice as being much more f orm id a bl e t h an l ast year, and up to the mid dle of August the total impossibility of penetrating it from the Woman Islands North, to Cape Walsingham South. He did himself, a single ship, find an opening to the south ward, and succeeded in getting in with the West Land, but was under the necessity of returning immediately, and has no doubt, that had he continued twenty-four hours longer, he would have been completely beset. From the time he took the ice it was almost four weeks before he got clear again. The ships not seen since August, were expected to have taken the ice to the Northward. The weather was exceedingly boisterous when Captain Kerr left the ice. EAST INDIA HOUSE, OCT. 19, 1836.

Some years ago a fund was attempted to be raised for the purpose of purchasing or erecting a building suitable for the use of the Institution, but owing to adverse circum stances, though strenuous efforts were repeatedly made for the attainment of the object, the amount of the fund did not increase to an adequate sum, and the friends of the cause had almost begun to despond, when you, Honourable Sir, appeared amongst us, and by generously appropriating to this object the proceeds of your Lecture on the Holy Land, delivered in Livery -street Chapel last Wednesday evening, you have not merely added to the fund, but re newed the energies of the desponding, and inspired all the members and friends of the Institution with the hope, that ere long the mechanics of Birmingham will bo in posses sion of a building which may be called their own. Honourable Sir, as the representatives of the Members of our Institution, we beg to communicate to you, in a spirit of the highest admiration of your talents, and the warmest esteem for your character, their individual and united thanks, hoping that you may long continue to enjoy health and strength of mind to persevere in the laudable, virtuous, and philanthropic course you have so ardently pur sued as a senator, a public instructor, and a public bene factor.

AMBOYNA TOOTH POWDER, for cleans ing, beautifying, and preserving the Teeth.—This Powder is as pleasant in the application, as it is excellent in its effects; it speedily renders the teeth white and smooth, it fortifies the enamel, and prevents the accumulation cf tartar : and even where the enamel has been im paired by the application of pernicious dentifrice, or by any other means, it will renovate it in a manner to be credited only by those who experi ence or witness its efficacy; it prevents those teeth which are already partly decayed, from becoming worse, and cleanses, beautifies, and pre serves these that are sound ; it imparts to the breath the most delightful fragrance, and to the gums, that florid redness which indicates a healthful state. The A MBOTNA LOTION Is a concentrated preparation, and con tains all the desirable qualities of, and is particul,lrly recommended to be used with the Powder, when the teeth or gums are in a bad state, namely spongy, sore, or apt to bleed, symptoms which proceed from scurvy, and which tlis Lotion will never fail to remedy.

CHALLENGE---CLONMEL.—As other towns have been challenging their neighbours to produce rivals for their beauties, we cannot remain silent on the merits of a real beauty of this town. But, reader, our phenomenon is not of the fairer part of the creation —no, it is the " rale broth of a Tipperary boy," and we will stake our Editorial crow-quill against that of any member of the " fourth estate," that no town in Ireland will produce a rival for Martin Power. The far-famed Martin Power, a " sky farmer," of great notoriety, but of Bacchanalian fame still greater, is now seventy-two years of age, for the last fifty years of which he has drunk, on an average (for it fre quently exceeded) thirty glasses of whisky per diem. On one occasion he drank twenty-three pints of cider in less than an hour ; on another, he and four others, between four o'clock in the evening and daybreak the following morning, in a house where they were hired to make cider, consumed sixty-three gallons of that beverage, together with two quarts of spirits, of which, our life on it, our friend Martin had not the least share. On another day he drank to him self four quarts of raw whisky, and no later than Saturday last he became " a case" for his Worship the Mayor, having taken, according to his own admission, 40 glasses, an excess of 10 beyond his usual complement. Our hero was never known to be ill an hour, or in bed after four o'clock in the morning. It is not a fortnight since he walked a dis tance of 40 miles, and his youngest child is but four months old. Now, calculating the 30 glasses a day for 50 years (as to the other items we will throw them in as a " the total will be found to be 137 hhds. 23 gallons (about as much as would float a man-of-war), the average cost of which might be, as the lowest calculation Bs. per gallon, as for many years of the above period it was 16s.—thus, then, on the " leprous distilment" this man had expended 3,42 11. 125., which, if realised, would make him an inde pendent man ; whereas, at the present moment, be could not command, perhaps, the odd shillings of that amount. There may be some of our readers sceptical of the fore going facts, but we can assure them that the " character" is well known to us, and that what we have above recorded has been corroborated by his own acknowledgment, and the assurance of the gentleman in whose employment he now is, and of whose family ho has been an ancient follower.— Conine/ Advertiser. A farmer of the old school, residing in the neigh bourhood of Wallingford, having had occasion to visit the metropolis, on his return was asked by some of his friends in the market-room if he had not experienced much diffi culty in finding his way about London ; his reply was, " Nae, dye zee, I did nae two zixpeny rides in a blunder buss I"—Reading Mercury. GENUINE ELOQUENCE.—One man, whom I saw sitting on the ground, leaning his back against the wall. attracted my attention by a degree of squalor in his appear ance, which I had rarely before observed even in Ireland. His clothes were ragged to indecency—a very common eir , cumstance, however, with the males—and his face was pale and sickly. He (7,id not address me, and I passed by ; but, having gone a few paces, my heart smote me, and I turned back. "If you are in want," said I, with some degree of peevishness, " why do you not beg?" " Sure it's begging I am," was the reply. " You did not utter a word." " No Is it joking you are with me, Sir ? Look there!" holding up the tattered remnant of what bad once been a coat : " Do you see how the skin is speaking through the holes in my trousers ? and the bones crying out through my skin; Look at my sunken cheeks, and the famine that's staring in my eyes I Man • alive ! isn't it begging I am, with a hundred tongues."—Lcitch Ritchie's Ireland, On Wednesday morning, about nine o'clock, an im mense body of fire was observed herofrom to burst out from the Cliff at Holworth, accompanied with a prodigious vo lume of smoke ; the fire was extensive and vivid, and the column of vapour rolling up the cliff presented a most inte resting sight, and attracted the notice of several individuals on the Esplanade at Weymouth.

Night Schools are regu larly open, wherein the young mechanics are instructed in Readin g , Writing, A r ith me ti c , E ng li s h G rammar, F l i nc h , Latin, Mathemati cs , Drawing, and Moral and Experi mental Science : there is also an excellent Scientific Library, the books of which are read with the greatest avidity. Honourable Sir, allow us to express our admiration of your eloquent and beautiful description of those scenes in the Holy Land, which had the effect of kindling in our minds images of grandeur and beauty which we can never forget—images so vividly pourtrayed to us, that even in remote years we shall be enabled to create enjoyment for ourselves by recalling them to our memory. In conclusion, permit us once again to thank you, on be half our Institution, and to venture the hope that your ex ample will not be lost on our fellow -townsmen, and that the next time you address the body of our members, it will be in a Hall erected partly by meaus of your highly talented and philanthropic exertions. MR. BUCKINGHAM'S REPLY TO THE DEPUTATION FROM THE MECHANIC'S INSTITUTE OF lIIRMINGHA)i. Sins—l receive, with feelings of the purest and most unalloyed delight, the address which you have just read and placed in my hands. To receive the public expression of app ro b a ti on f rom an y c l ass o f our fellow-countrymen, is an honour of which the noblest and most exalted by wealth and station may be justly proud, and which the wisest and most virtuous may be ambitious to enjoy, without endan gering their independence, or risking the diminution of their worth. But if the approbation and gratitude of any one class can be more acceptable than of another, it must be in a case like the present, where he on whom you bestow that honour has no pretensions of title, wealth, or power, to recommend him to your favour, and where you, who con fer the reward, can have no hope of future benefits or ad vantages from the eulogies you express. Believin g y o u, therefo re , t o b e as sincere and disinte rested as men can be in the expression of your thanks to me, for the humble services which I have been enabled to render you, I accept them with a pleasure of the highest kind, mingled only with a regret that my power of aiding your excellent object and design is not equal to my will ; and that my means of serving you are limited to labon_ring for your benefit, as the only way in which I can add to your funds. As was said by the early Apostles of our faith, I may repeat the expression--" Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have I give freely unto you." Of the sincerity of my desire to promote, by all the means in my power, the formation of public Institutions for the acquirement and diffusion of useful knowledge, the best proof I can offer is this—that, in the sister town of Sheffield, whose manufactures are of the same class and description as your own, and which I account it an honour to represent, I have never yet paid it a visit as its repre sentative, without adding, by labours similar to those which I have exercised for you, some oonsiderable sum to the funds of its Mechanics' Institution ; that, in every town I visit, I am glad to extend a similar privilege to such In stitutions, wherever I find them ; and that, during the two last sessions of Parliament, I have laboured with the great est assiduity to procure the passing of two Bills—the one to facilitate the formation of public walks and public gardens, for the healthy recrea ti on an d en j oyment of the working classes, for whose pleasure and admiration the beauties Of this lovely world were as much created as for the rich ; and for the formation of public Institutions, for literary and scientific information, and for the general de, veloprnant of the intellect of the humbler classes of society, whc have hearts to feel and minds to understand, as well as those who are above them In station, and who require only the due cultivation of the sentiments and faculties to prove themSOVOi as fitted for rational and intellectual pleasures AA the noblest in the land. w subsistence o R r y In this cour se , o f en d eavour i ng to obtain for myself and injured family an h onest and independent subsistence c a a l e nown thoseto bp e labour ow forers obtained,t b which l i f r o b r t alone o bread, e d , benefit ancl of u att r h m e b oy n same ees timefl low 1 t i while exercising countrymen n their t9 men when ever t h e opportun i ty presents itself, by y I shall still per severe ; as I find in it the double pleasure of bem i defeat ron_ e hopes aCtGa pers persecutions, t n i l o y m* t oppressors, o drivem who et intended, able o an early grave ; an d w bi le 1 am diffusing information among others, to gatiloi, stores of valuable k now l e d ge an d ex perienoo fuf AlYself• With the d a il y acqu i s i t i on, therefore, uf valuableinformati on on the one band, and the daily en listment of friendly sympathies in my views on the other, I shall return to my place in Parliament with greater zeal and greater power than ever, to advance the interests of those industrious classes, in whose prosperity I shall ever feel the deepest concern ; and among them, I can truly as sure you, that the Mechanics of Birmingham will never be forgotten.

Colonel Thompson, in a letter to the Secretary of the Hull Reform Association, makes the following amongst many other remarks, on the subject of markins newspapers transmitted through the post :—ln the Morning Herald of the 20th September, are some statements connected with the marking of newspapers under the Newspaper Postage Act, involving the conduct both of individuals pointed out, and of the Liberal Members generally, on which the editor has been invited to insert a counter-statement, with the name of the author ; and as he has declined complying in any shape with the custom of the press on like occasions, I have a right to assume that there is a political object in keeping up the misrepresentation, and that there is conse quently a political object in exposing it. It is intimated in the paper mentioned (last column of second page), that the Members who assume the title of Liberals were too busy in attending to some concerns of their own, to mind those of the people on this occasion ; and the Member For Kilmarnock is particularly pointed at, as not " ha`,7ing thought it worth while to secure to the public, •ven the small privilege of marking a paragraph in a netvspaper sent by post." If the writer of the article had possessed as good op portunities of knowledge as I had, he would have known that the Member for Kilmarnock made a most pointed re presentation on the subject to ale House, and specified an instance where a London Newspaper addressed to him dur ing one of his cloak:11 contests, was charged fifteen shil lings in consequence of a paragraph in it being marked. And to prove that I do not speak without what the French call connaisance de cause, I was the man that marked and sent him the paper, containing a paragraph favourable to his election, and which he would very probably have been glad to see at the expense of fifteen shillings, if he had known of it. Whether this was the handywork of some re tainer of the Post Office of opposite political principles, is never likely to be known. But what may happen to one political party may happen to another ; and the wise and desirable thing would be to remove the evil altogether. • . I assure you, that as to the Chancellor of the Exchequer saying it wou ld b e b etter to l eave the matter to the discre tion of the Post-office, with the rest of what is added in the Herald, he said, so far as I am capable of giving evidence, nothing of the kind at all. When urged to admit in the most guarded terms the drawing a line down the margin of a paragraph, he utterly refused and rejected the smallest approach to concession. What he did say was, that he thought Members of Parliament might be allowed to re ceive newspapers marked ; a thing nearly useless to them, unless they are also allowed to transmit newspapers marked into the country, to say nothing of the gratuitous privation of the rest of the community. CHURCH-RATES.—On Friday morning a meeting was held at Royston, Essex, called by the churchwardens, for the purpose of making a rate for repairs of the church and the expenses of the service. James Wortham, Esq., the senior churchwarden, took the chair, and made a state itnent of accounts, from which it appeared there was an ar rear of about 30/. He stated the estimate of the necr-„_ sary repairs to be 8.51., but thought it better that o - ,;iy a portion of that sum should be included in the ariount he now called on the parishioners •to raise ; and,, therefore, proposed a rate of one shilling in the pound., This motion was seconded by the junior churchwP.Yden. An amend ment was then proposed, that tub further consideration of the question should, be adjenrned until fourteen days af ter the end of th e next sesbion of Parliament. The feeling of the meet:v, was decidedly against the rate, and on a di vision taking place there appeared upwards of seventy for ft° amendment, and only six against it. The rate was thus lost by a large majority. A Noble Lord, accused of unfair dealing at cards, is said to have levanted ; and the Club at which the oc currence is said to have taken place, is about to be broken up. The following is given as the Club-scene :—A party were playing whist ; and when one of the players, the Noble Lord, had shuffled the cards, Mr. placed his hand on the pack, and called for the groom -porter. When the latter entered, the room, Mr. -- desired him to bring paper, wax, and tape. These were brought, and Mr. then, directed the waiter to seal up the packet, to keep it 611 the next day, and then lay it before the Committee. At six, next morning, the Noble Lord left town for the Netherlands. An affair of honour of a very ludicrous character took place at South Molton on Thursday. It appears that the dapper medical gentleman of that ton most particular as to th e ma k e, co l our, and f i t o f his kids s . waggish young att orney ; res idi ng there, see i ng his friend gloves on the table, took the liberty of inserting a por tion of lampblack into the fingers of them.

The lawyer immediately put in bail, but the doctor's ire was so raised at the denoue ment of this last outrage, that he declared he would re main in prison for ever rather than give up his power of calling his antagonist to an account for his behaviour, and he was consequently eommitted,in default of bail—Exeter ~Flying Post, INGENIOUS CONTRIVANCE.-1)11r1W, seasons of drought millowners entirely dependent oaVvater power have frequently been compelled to suspend, 'their business half the time they should be at work.

Yesteulay morning, between seven and eight o'clock, a Young woman, named Mary Collins, was taken to the N0 . .1h London Hospital, in Upper Gower -street, apparently I ,ifeless, and with her clothes completely saturated with blood. It was ascertained that, she was labouring under the effects of a violent kick on the lower part of the ab domen, which bad been inflicted on her by her husband, an Irish labourer, who has since absconded. The wretched sufferer was left by the inhuman brute lying senseless o n the floor of the room 'where she lodged, in Colebrook-court, Fitzroy-market, and would have bled to death but that a stream of her blood flowed underneath the door of the room across the landing-place, and into the apartment of a fellow-lodge r . Her death is momentarily expected. DEATHS FROM BURNING.—Last ni , litthree se parate inquisitions were taken in succession by Mr. Payne, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, before the same Jury, on the bodies of as many persons, all of whom had met their deaths from burning by accidents completely distinct. The improvements in the Royal gardens of Belgium have proceeded rapidly under the superintendence of the King's English Conservator. Her Majesty is said to be very desirous of spending two or three weeks at Clare mont, and the King will probably bring her over next Spring. The parish of St. Giles, Cripplegate, In the City, is renowned for the many local antiquities associated with objects of public interest which it contains,. In the church yard lie the remains of Milton, Benuraont, Fletcher, and Massinger ; and amongst the old. p'irish records is shown the signature of Oliver Cromm:ll, and that of Ri‘th, his wife, on their marriage, writt(in in a bold and legiLle hand. The sites of the houses of. Prince Rupert and General Fairfax are seen in the neighbourhood of Moor-lane ;at the back of a baker's oven in Red Cross -street is the ori ginal Half-moon Battery ; the finest vestige of the old Lon don wall is in the churchyard ; and the Crown public-house, in Red Cross-street, still exists, where Alilton and other sturdy republicans of his time, used, to associate in the hours of his relaxation from the pursuits of his school, which he kept in the neighbourhcmd. MademoiseTie Taglioni was exhibiting to a French Royalist, few days ago, a cl asp , which the Duke of Or leans given to her at C(Jmpiegne. It is a rather pretty store, of little value, and the aresent i s certa i n l y not a loyal one. "Le cadeau est } hen digne de lui," observed M. de L*.'" 4 ' 'to Mdlle. Taglioni, " mais n'est pas digne de vous." THE LATE GALES.— Accounts of total or partial wrecks during the very boisterous weather that has' latterly prevailed continue to pour in from all quarters. Almost the whole coast of England has been affected by them ; but we arc happy to say that, with the exception of the melan choly wreck of the Clarendon, and one or two other in stances which we have mentioned, the loss of life has not b2en so great as was, under the circumstances, to be feared. IRISH MAIL PACKET.—On the evening of the 10th inst., the rixen, Evans, delivered the last Irish mail, and proceeded up to the new packet station at Hobb's point, and took the first Irish mail from thence to Dun more on the morning of the 11th. The packet boats be tween Milford and Waterford were originally established in the year 1787, nearly .50 years, and up to the 15th of April, i n th e year 1824, sailing cutters of about 80 tons, hired by contract, carried the mail•bag and passengers. From the latter period four steam-boats, of about 80 horse-power, were put on the station, and have continued so ever nine © most regularly and successfully, and without any accident or casualty of any moment. It is generally supposed that the expenses of the crew and wear and tear of each packet stand the Post-oflice, on the average, between three and four thousand pounds per annum, and that the receipts hi therto will not average the expenses of one packet ; but an. increase of passengers may now be obtained by a greater convenience of embarkation. —Cambrian. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 17. We have had a dull market to-day. Sales, 1,500 bad, at a decline on last week's prices of and 4- Per lb. THE VIVID.—A paragraph havir.ig gone the round of the London papers stating that th! Ls vessel had sustained great injury, and was in an almost sinking state off Yar mouth, during the gale on Wednesday night last, and nirni lar reports bei ng currentere, we feel it incumbent upon us to state that this versel returned here yesterday. If the Vivid had sustained the injury described by the London Press, she could 'not have returned to Hull laden, as she was, with a l =arge and valuable cargo of mer c h an d ise, and PrenatiP.-1 to the eye so little effects of the storm. —Hull (1441 7-ver of Tuesday. Tuesday afternoon a couple o f fellows, whose names it was impossible to learn, purchased a horse at Bell isle for the Sharpe's-alley (Cow-cross, Smithfi e ld) con sumption, as the having beaten and goaded the wretched animal a theßigrygge Well s - road, it could go no farther, s far and it sunk to the earth, immediately opposite Ottey's Ita lian warehouse. The inhuman fellows finding that, after a shower of blows, the poor horse could not get up, it was despatched by a blow on the head with a pole-axe, and car ried away upon a knacker's cart. The scene, altogether' created the utmost feelings of disgust. MURDER. —On Tuesday,, at Carrington, a fellow named Perry was committed to take his trial for the.wilfril, murder of W. Renshaw, a lacemaker, who was stabbed in the abdomen by Terry &ling a scuffle. (V/ NEW WORK BY PROFESSOR HOPPUS. Now Ready in 2 vols. post octavo. THE CONTINENT IN 1835.
