Mr. Canning sailed yesterday niorWng frcm north, in
the Yost-office steam•packet, Harlequin, 'Captain Skinner,
on his return to London. Ile was accompanied :o the
place of embarkation by the Ltsl Mayo-, Colonel Shaw,
Sir Colin Campbell, Doctor Hunter, &c. The party
breakfasted with Sir Edward and Lady Lees, at their villa.
near llowth ; after which Mr. Canning asc tided the hill
to visit the scenery, with which he appeared mooch de-
lighted. About eight o'clock, the Right lion. G ntleman
embarked under a grand salute of :el guns, fired from the
hill ; from the favourable state of the weather at the time,
and which has continued, there is litt!c doubt but he has
crossed the channel in about six hours.

On Friday, Mr. Canning having expressed to the Lord
Mayor his admiration of the city, sent the splendor and
beauty of .its buildings, his Lordship assured Mtn that he
ytouhl carry away a very erroneous MIK. ssien of the state
of Dublin if he believed it to be prosperous—and added,
that he could present to him a picture of misery, of which
he could hare but little conception, if he did nut actually
see it. The night lion. Gentleman declared, he only
wished to know the truth, and on the following day he ac-
companied the bent Mayor to the buildings of the Men- •
dicity Society, in Copper-alley (the whole of which he
minutely int:wend), and subsequently through several of
the most distressed parts of the city, where he saw a
'dense unoccupied umi wretched population. The misery
he witness( d seemed to make a cop impression en his
mind, and it is to be hoped will not lie forgotten when die
state of Inland comes to be discusstd in the Cabinet or the
• Legislature.
1 On Savirday Mr. Canning visited the cathedral of
St. Patrick, where he was reeeived by the Hon. and Rev.
Dean Ponsonby, who conducted him over it, and pointed
out such objects as were worthy of observation. Swift's
monument attracted his most particular regard and atten-
tion. lie also closely viewed the original teaselated pave-
ment lately discovered. On 4pitting St. Patriek'a cathedral
Mr. Canning set out for Carton, the magnificent seat of
his Grace the l)uke of lA'inster, from whence lie went to
the ROM= Catholic College of Maynuoth, and having
visited that establishnunt, toweled to the Viceregal Lodge
to dinner.

Thus ling terminated the visit of Mr. Canning. If he
had a political objcet in view, he c. rtaiuly was very suc-
cessful hi t hiding curiosity and avoiding discovery. We
shou:d have mentioned that he left his card at Dr. Murray's
on Saturday.
