TIIE LATE
LORD CANNING. •
Earl GRAN S ILLE rose, and, with evident emotion,
said he had to inform their lordships—and
painful duty —that the house had lost one of
of its most distin-
guished members. That great, just, and eminent man,
Lord Canning, was no more. Under Divine Providence and
the exercise of the great abilities he possessed he had
strengthened the dominions of his Sovereign and his coun-
try ever a vast and important empire. He had sacrificed
not only his own life but that of one more dear to him in the
work. He was sure that their lordships' feelings would
be in unison with his own. (The noble earl seemi totally
unable to proceed further, and resumed his seat.)
CREIXSFORD, in the absence of his noble friend
Lord
(the Earl of Derby)f said he was quite sure the house'
would deoply Byrapsthise in the irreparable loss that the
country had sustained iit the death of the noble earl. He
wordS` to express the feelings which
