The late Mr. lIUSKISSON'S LETTER to the
EDITOR of Mr. CANNING'S SPEECHES.

" Downing.street, March 18, 1828.
" I very much regret I did not in due time acknow-
ledge your kind attention in transmitting to-me a copy of
Mr. Canning's speeches. On the day on which you
called in Downing.street I was summoned to a Cabinet at
the moment of your visit.

" Understanding that there were some parts of the
work to which► you wished to call my attention, I was
anxious, before I expressed my thanks fur this valuable
addition to my library, to have found time to have perused
at least those portions of your hook. Unfortunately, I
have since been so overwhelmed with official and other
public duties of an urgent nature, that it has not been in
my power to look into the work. I hope to find a little
leisure fur this purpose during the approaching recess at
Easter, when I have no doubt that I shall find that you
have executed the task which you had in►poeed upon your-
self with a zeal corresponding to the sp►r►t and feelings
which first induced you to embark in the undertaking.
" You must allow me to add that it is to me a great
gratification that you have recorded the private friendship
and political attachment which subsisted so long, without
interruption, between Mr. Canning and myself, in a work
which is destined to convey to posterity the remains of
his splendid talents as an orator—to exhibit his principles
as a statesman—and to show with what energy sod suc-
cess he carried those principles into execution as a Minister
of the Crown.

" 1 have the honour to be, Sir,
" Your very obliged and humble Nervant,
" R. Therry, Esq." " W. HUSKISSON.

CHURCH REFORM.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SON.

Sia,—Your able remarks upon Mr. Hippo's letter
call forth my hearty thanks. I have your list of pluralities
before me for the county of Durham. I shall in a short

time send you the emolument received by each person,
and also by the Preltendaties, a useless set to the
State which endures them. Will the starving people
of England in the present day allow those luxurious drones
to wallow in abundance, and neglect their parishioners ?
Are not three-fourths of the population against them ?
Will the clerey be permitted to pass their time at water-
ing places, and leave their churches to the care of a curate
at the annual stipend of 100/. a.year ? Reverend Gen-
tlemen of the College of Durham, the day is arrived when
you will no longer be permitted to hold more than one
living; and it is to be hoped that will be the means of
making the Church more respected ; not holding out
wealth as an inducement for the sprigs of nobility to enter
it. May every town in England meet and assert those
grievances—redress they will be sure to obtain. May
you be rewarded for your impartiality, is the wish of
A CONSTANT READER AND AN ENEMY
TO CORRUPTION.

THE KING'S OWN.—Of this popular talc of
the sea by Captain ItlaaavaT, a contemporary remarks,
" Whether the author feels himself quite independent of
the service we know not ; but it is clear that he is a sea.
man, and not either a purser, doctor, or marine officer ;
sod it is equally clear that he lays about him, careless
where his blows fall, and utterly reckless of comequences.
tie is a man of genius, tro, a novelist of no common order
—skilled in the construction of a plot—in the dramatic
delineation of character, and especially in the description
of those animating and absorbing incidents which so often
arise, in his hazardous profession. He is the Seaman's
Le Sage; and whether he describe the character of the
common sailor; the uneasy condition of the middy,' the
toiling hopes of the lieutenant, or the anxious authority of
the captain, it is impossible not to be struck at once with
the entertaining character of the sketch, and the truth of
the representation."
ViENN&, OCT. s.—There was a great agita-
tion on 'Change to-day on account of the events at
Brussels, and great losses were sustained yesterday even-
ing. Our • accounts from the Hague come down to
the 24th September in the afternoon, and state that
the Dutch troops were entire masters of Hruvels, and
that Prince Frederick had male his entry into the
city. This caused the funds to rise ; but to-day, on the
receipt of contrary news, which was confirmed by the
French Journals of the Mb, the funds again declined
considerably. The incalculable consequences of this un-
successful attack make a very great impression on our
merchants; they excite lively apprehensions that the in-
surrection in the Netherlands may spread further, and in
