THE RIGHT HON. GEORGE CANNING.

truou THE LTV tIiPOOL ADVERTISER.)
.Our readers will perceive by the following Wier,
that Mr. Canning's resignation is no longer a matter of doubtful
rumour. The confirmation of this report will be received, we be-
lieve, with regret by most of our readers; since even the Opposi-
tion party, busying 'no hope of returning a representative of
their own principles, can feel no gratification in parting with
one who (it is universally admitted), has executed the duties
which his connection with the town imposed upon him ,in the
mostiactivn and impartial manner. . Something, too, we may
persume, will be felt by all, at 'the dissolution of a eonnedion
pito long a • standing, in which the talents of the one party,
and the steady attachment of the other, reflecting reciprocal
honour, have excited mutual pleasure . and satisfaction, It has
been confidently asserted that Mr. liuskisson has consented to
offer himseltas Mr. Canning's successor,:-, •

" TO THE FREEMEN OF LIVEItVOOL!

",Foreign gfike, Jan. 2.1, 1823.

" GENTLEMEN—Finn months' experience of the occupa,
thins of the department which the King has been graciously
pleased to confide to me, combined with the, anticipation of
that increased pressure which the approaching Session of Par-
liament will bring with it, forces upon me the reluctant con-
viction, that I 'should no Wager be able tozive to the import-
ant duties of a representative of Liverpool, that degree of at-
tention which would satisfy your just claims,. and my own
conscientious estimate of them.
" After much hesitation, and with a feeling of deep regret
(for know you will give me credit,) I have thought • it
right to declare this conviction to you plainly and openly.
It is far better both for you and for me that the failure which
apprehend as too probable, should be prevented than re.
method.
" I surrender into your hinds, therefore, a charge which
during the ten yearn that I have had the honour to, hold it, I
May preauMe to say I have fulfilled with earnestness and 'fide-
lity.; but in which .I sin nevertheless fully aware bowmueh
my endeavours have been aided by your encouragement 5 how
many of my omissions have been overlooked by your indul-
gence ; andbow greatly my services (such as they were) have
.been overpaid,by the repeated and increasing manifestations
of your regard and good opinion.
,You will not, U hope, find •it • difficult to provide a sue-
coma better qualified to serve you. Whoever may be the ob-
ject of your choice, he nifty flepend on my co-opersition on any
occasion on which 'I can properly and usefully aid him ; and
you may be assured of the pleasure with which' I shall, avail
myself of every such opporthnity, to testify my grateful re-
membrance of a connection which has been the. pride of. my
public life, and which nothing could have induced me, during
the continuance of my public life, to relinquish, except
semi of duty that forbids me to retain a trust, of- which I
cannot adequately discharge the obligations.
" I have the honour to be, with the :sincerest gratitUde, re-
spect, and attachment, Gentlemen,
" Your obliged an faithful servant,
" GEORGE CANNING."

MATU OF DOCTOR JlUTTON.—Yesterday,
died, at his house in Bedford-row, CJIARILES
HUTTON, LLD. F.R.S. &c. in the 86th year of
his age. This venerable character will be' re-
membered with gratitude, as long as useful
science is duly appreciated ; perhaps no name
can be, mentioned, either ancient or modern, that
has so successfully promoted those
,branches of
mathematical knowledge, snort conducive to the
practical purposes of life, as Doctor IlurroN,---
Ile has ,been an eminent author for upwards of
sixty years, and, during forty of that period, he
discharged .the arduous duty of Professor of
Mathematics, at the Royal Military'Acadetny,
at Woolwich, with the highest honour to himself
and advantage to his country. lIiS improvements
in military tactics have greatly promoted the
success of the British Artillery and Engineers
for the last half century, and have even been
acknowledged and adopted by several of the
first Professors on the Continent.

SUOGLCAL IMPROVEMENT.--A. most ingenious
instrument has, we understand, been lately con-
trived far taking up the subclavian artery. ,This
operation, hitherto unsuccesful in the majority
of instances, solely from the difficulty of passng
a ligature round the vessel,may now be performed
the aid of the instrument we allude to, with
the same expedition and facility as on the most
superficial vesse4by the ordinary aneurism needle.
The credit of this invention is due to Dr.
BrIINE, Surgeon of the Dublin City Militia.
After a series of years, spent in close attention to
the subject, this gentleman, it is stated, has suc-
ceeded in discovering the exciting cause of anima-
tion ; the nature of that subtle, effect itself ; and
the wt'of the system to which it legitimately
belongs. He intends, us we are informed, to
proceed to London in a few months, to give to
this important discovery that extent of publicity
which for many reasons this country is not cal-
culated to afford.—(Duklin Pryer)
