but an indifferent supply, and pikes rather firmly main-

but there is evidently a disposition to effect sales where
Purchasers make their appearance. The falling off in the
delivery from the West India Docks last week from the
'corresponding week last year was very considerable, up-
wards of 800 hhds., making together with the two pre-
vious weeks a falling off of nearly 1,900 hhds. The Bar-

THE LATE MR. CANNING.

(From the Morning Herald.)

CHISWICK, THURSDAY EVEN;;;C‘.

During the whole of Wednesday the intimate
friends of Mrs. Canning were anxiously waiting for
the moment when the state of her health would per-
mit her to withdraw from an abode which must ever
be to her the source of the most melancholy recol-
lections. The Duke of Portland, her brother-in-
law, remained with her all day, and assisted her
daughter, her son, and her favourite attendants, in
the pious office of administering consolation to this
afflicted lady. Dr. Holland was in constant attend-
ance on Mrs. Canning. It was not, however, until
this morning that wearied nature found that repose
of which she stood so much in need. Upon the re-
turn of the Duke of Portland this day from London,
he was agreably surprised to find some slight im-
provement in her health, and it was agreed that in
the evening Mrs. Canning, the Marchioness of Clan-
ricarde, and their attendants, should repair to Lon-
don, to take up their residence for the present at
Portland House.

Lord Seaford, the early and intimate friend of Mr.
Canning, has been at Chiswick all this day. It will
be remembered that his Lordship, when Mr. Ellis,
attended the late Right Honourable Gentleman in his
duel with Lord Castlereagh.
This evening his Grace the Duke of Devonshire
arrived at Chiswick House. His Grace expressed
the greatest concern for the state of Mrs. Canning,
but he did not see that lady or the Marchioness of
Clanricarde. His Grace remained only a quarter of
an hour, and returned to London.
Several inquiries were made this day at the Lodge
after the health of Mrs. Canningand the Marchioness
of Clanricarde. The messengers came principally
from the Ministers and the intimate friends of the
late Mr. Canning. Lady Mary Bentinck visited the
afflicted party in the course of the day.

NINE o'cLocr, P.M.

By previous arrangements, the private carriage of
Mrs. Canning, and that of the Marquis of Clanri-
earde, were in attendance as soon as it became dusk,
and this moment Mrs. Canning and the Marquis and.
Marchioness of Clanricarde have stepped into one,
whilst their female attendants follow in the ether.
The two ladies were dressed in the deepest mourn-
ing, and were closely veiled. Mrs. Canning was so
feeble as to be unable to ascend the carriage with-
out assistance. The blinds of the carriage were
closely drawn. They left Chiswick House by the
private carriage way, which terminates at the public
road, close to the Horticultural Gardens, and, fol-
lowed by the carriage containing the attendants,
they proceeded slowly to Portland House. It is the
intention of Mrs. Canning to remain in the mansion
of her brother-in-law, until her health shall be so far
repaired as to enable her to go to Brighton, where a
house has been for some time taken and prepared for
the reception of herself and .her late husband. The
house is situated on the Marine Parade; it is a cor-
ner house, commands a full view of the sea, and be-
longs to the least pretending class of mansions that
are to be found in that district of Brighton. The
Duke of Portland, and young Mr. Canning, remain-
ed at Chiswick House until the arrival of the un-
dertaker (Mr. Jarvis), who, with some of his men,
attended at half-past nine o'clock, and commenced
the operation of soldering down the coffin. This
was effected at half-past ten o'clock, when the coffin
was brought from the house, and placed on a hearse
drawn by four horses. The hearse then proceeded
slowly to London.

DOWNINQ-STAEKT, TWELVE O'CLOCK AT NIGHT.
Preparations have been made at the late Mr.
Canning's official residence in this street, for the re-
ception of his remains. The hearse, bearing the
leaden coffin containing the body, has just arrived.
The coffin was then removed into the house, and
deposited on a table in the middle of the great dining
room, with the head towards the windows. The
coffin was covered with an ample pall. A pair of
wax tapers was placed upon each of three adjoining
tables, and the diminished light which they diffused
over the spacious apartment was assisted by that of
a French lamp, which was placed on the left side of
the coffin. The most solemn silence reigned through-
out the house. The light which was furnished by
the tapers and lamp was not sufficient to dispel the
gloom in which the mournful scene was wrapped;
nor were those outward appearances of woe at
variance with the feelings which were likely to be
raise;l in the breast of the spectator who remembered
that there now lay before him the insensible and
almost mouldering remains of the eminent person
who, but a few months before, was the centre of all
happiness in that very apartment of death. The
confidential servant of the late Right Honourable
Gentleman, and some of the undertaker's men, will
sit up all night in the apartment.- We believe that
it is not yet determined whether strangers will be
admitted to a view of the coffin. We have not been
able to learn whether or not the funeral is to be pri-
vate. If custom prevails, the ceremony will be of
a public nature.

The appearance of the body of the deceased at
different times after death, gave rise to some surprise
amongst those who had seen it. Immediately, and
for some hours after the e.:tinction of life, the features
were so fallen, that the persons most accustomed to
the presence of Mr. Canning were unable to trace
the least resemblance between his living countenance
and that of the lifeless body. However, in the
course of Thursday an alteration, that appeared ex-
traordinary to those who witnessed it, became visible
in the face, which by degrees re-assumed the placid
expression that it wore in life. Several applications
were made in the eoursq of yesterday, by artists, to
take masks of the face of Mr. Canning, but they
were all met by a peremptory refusal. Whilst upon
this subject, it may be necessary to recur to the state-
ment which was made in Thursday's paper, relative
to the last hours of Mr. Canning's existence. We
mentioned that for some hours, to within a short
half-hour of his death, he suffered excruciating tor-
tures, and as we communicated this fact exclusively,
it has been supposed that our account was erroneous.
We have taken some pains to ascertain the truth on
this point, and we find that there is a number of per-
sons about the mansion at Chiswick, who can un-
fortunately bear testimony to the fact, that Mr.
Canning's cries of agony were heard at a distance
beyond the house.
