MR. CANNING.

The workmen were yesterday engaged in digging
the grave for the late lamented Premier. The ne-
cessary license having been obtained from Dr. Ire-
land, the Dean of Westminster, on .Saturday last,
immediately upon the reecipt of the letter from the
Dean, who is still in the country, the sacred ground
in which so many of the illustrious dead repose, un-
derwent an examination for the purpoie of ascer-
taining a.vacant spot. It was intended that his
coffin should be placed as close to that of Mr. Pitt
as was possible, and it was at one time thought that
room enough would be found at the head of that
statesman ; but, on removing the flag-stones, it was
discovered that such intention could not be carried
into execution but at the risk, if not certainty, of
disturbing the sacred ashes of some illustrious indi-
vidual of olden times. The remains of Fox are de-
posited about 20 feet from those of the other cele-
brated statesman, and very near to his coffin the
grave that is so soon to close upon the late Premier
is now preparing.
No further instructions have as yet been received
by Mr. Jarvis, the undertaker, for the completion of
the necessary arrangements for the funeral. That
ceremony will, as we stated before, take place on
Thursday morning next. Cards of invitation to
attend upon that solemn' ceremony were yesterday
issued ; they are, however, confined to the late Right
Hon. Gentleman's colleagues in office, his personal
friends, and some few other official personages,
among whom, we understand, will be all the Foreign
Ambassadors now resident in this country. Numerous
applications from persons of the highest respectability,
who are desirous of paying this last act of respect to
the late Premier, have been made to the undertaker
for cards to obtain admission' into the Abbey.
Yesterday afternoon, the Dean of Westminster
came to town, for the express purpose of meeting
those friends of Mr. Canning who have the direction
of his obsequies; and a consultation took place in
the Abbey, at which it was finally arranged that the
grave should be prepared immediately'adjoining the
-foot of that in which the remains of Mr. Pitt were
deposited. At this consultation, the Dean renewed
his offer to- the Jerusalem Chamber, as a waiting-
room for those friends of the late Premier who may
be admitted by the tickets above:mentioned; and
he also offered his private parlour for the accommo-
dation of such of the Corps Diplomatique as may
choose to attend the funeral. The Dean likewise
strenuously urged the- friends of Mr. Canning to ac-
cept the services of the choir upon the melancholy
occasion; but this was declined, on time ground, that
.they wished the funeral to be as unostentatious as it.
possibly could be, consistently with the rank of the
deceased.

We understand that it was ordered, on the sug-
gestion of Mr. Jarvis, the undertaker, that matting
should be laid on the floor of the Abbey, so that the
attendants might not be subjected to those serious
consequences which ensued upon a late Royal fune-
ral in St. George's Chapel, at Windsor.
The coffin was nearly completed last night. It is
covered with crimson velvet, and very handsomely
studded and decorated with wrought brass orna-
ments, highly burnished and lackered. The follow-
ing is a copy of the inscription :
DEPOSITUM,

The Right Honourable GEORGE CANNING, one of
his Majesty's Most Hrmourable Privy Council, First
Lord Commissioner of his Majesty's Treasury, Chancel-
lor and Under Treasurer of the Exchequer of Great
Britain and Ireland, and a Governor of the Charter
House, &c. &c.•

Born 11 th April 17'70.
Died Bth August 1827.

MR. CANNING.—It was finally determined
yesterday morning that the fungral of this eminent States-
man should be as plain and private as possible. The
friends of the deceased will follow in twelve mourning
coaches. The stone under which the remains of the
Minister will be deposited was taken up yesterday. Mr.
CAN:info will be laid at the feet of Mr. PITT, in the
north transept.

Lord Colchester, and the Hon. Captain
Abbot, R. N. arrived at Inverness on Saturday last. On
his progress through the Highlands, his Lordship minutely
examined the Parliamentary roads and other public works.
On Monday his Lordship took a short trip in Mr. David-
son's yacht in the Caledonian Canal, of which work he
expressed a big!" opinion ; on Tuesday lie left Inverness to
visit the noble family of Sutherland at Dunrobin Castle.
BOW-STREET.— MR• O'CONNELL.-- This
gentleman, it would seem, is actually about to carry the
threats of legal hostilities with which he has for some time
past been menacing the London Courier evening news-
paper into execution. A few minutes anterior to the
closing of this office, on Wednesday night, a gentleman ap-
peared before the sitting Magistrate, G. R. MINsHULL,
Esq., in order to swear an affidavit,- testifying that
the certificate annexed, containing the names and de-
scriptions of the printer, publisher, and proprietors of the
Courier, was obtained by the deponent from under the
hand of the proper officer of the Stamp Office, Somer-
set-house, whose duty it is to give such certificates.
The Magistrate, on looking over the affidavit, at first
doubted whether be should swear it, remarking that lie
could not see of what use it would be. The gentleman
explained, that he was. merely complying with a request
contained in a letter that lie had received from Mr. O'Con-
nell, who, he took it for granted, would seekdree thattion
to of
which 'he could make no use; Mr. o,
the applicant, he said, was to send these documents to Ire-
land the instant the affidavit was sworn.—Mr. MitrsHum.:
Very well, Sir, I'll swear the affidavit, and you may make
whatever use of it you may think fit.—The oath was then
administered, and the applicant departed.
