The King, contrary to expectation,' will not
come to town this clay; but will hold his Coun-
cil at
,Windsor. - Parliament will be further pro-
rogued, and the new Ministerial Arrangements
are .expected to receive the Royal ..Sanction.
Upon the remains of the late Minister, whose
lamented death has caused these new arrange-
ments; the tomb Was yesterday finally closed.
To the account of the melancholy ceremonial
which on this occasion took place, we have only
to add our ardent and sincere prayer—Peace
to the manes of George Canning !—Morning
Post.

The lasi funeral honours have been paid to
our departed Minister, and the tomb has closed
on the victim of patriotic devotion. He now
lies by the side of the great and mighty, Whose
place he supplied in the service of the State with
scarcely inferior powers, and with superior for-
tune ; for, however manly the struggles of the il-
lustrious Master (whose friendship patronised
his youth, and whose principles formed his mind)
with the difficulties and dangers of the period in
which he lived, it was the fate of Mr. Pitt to
perish, ere his country had' been restored to pro-
sperity and peace. His closing hour was one
of deepened anguish,, :and, his last aspiration al
most breathed despair— :Pow different has been
the destiny of his disciple. I. He had shared in all
the conflicts of .his great predecessor—he had
fought side by side with him, against foreign an-
archy and domestic treason, he had perhaps par-
taken of his despair—but he survived to
perpetuate his policy, to -ensure; and to en-
joy its triumph. He survived, to see the perils
which had broken down the hopek of a mighty
mind, vanish away before the firm and unbending
assertion of his principles. He beheld Conti-
nental despotism overthrown, and- the establish-
ment of universal peace—he watched the birth
of nations, and promote& their growth; . and,
what was still dearer to His heart, .be .turned the
influence which the success and wisdom of his
plans conferred upon his country, not into an
engine of aggression or a source of unlawful.
aggrandisement, but into:an instrument of, general.
happiness. He
.extingnished throughout the
world that jealous dread of. British greatness,
which bad enable& the individual. enemies of
England to rouSe, the nations against her. His
country was the adiniration and the terror—he
made it the love—of mankind. With the power
of a giant, if he " used it as a giant," it was only
in acts of universal beneficence. Go wherever

you will, to-the East -or to the West, through
the 61dl or the new world, and you will find' the

ACCIDENT TO THE COTIK GAS WORKS.-
Tuesday morning, at 'a few minutes after seven
o'clock, the iron hoops of the large water tanks
at the Gas Works suddenly gave way, froM the
weight of the vessel, with its contents; nearly
180,000 gallons of water covered before it a con-
siderable- portion of the boundary Wall, but with-
out injury to any other part of the works, it bay-
ing fortunately burst at the . side next the river.
Most providentially, the;men who had been em-
ployed about it were for a few moments called.
off to another part of the concern, and no per-
son was near it to be injUred—'a circumstance
which
.has has not, perhaps, before occurred
since theyformation of the isiorks.Sortthern

COACH ACCIDENT.—On Friday afternoon,
the coach which left Preston at three o'clock was
overturned in its passage to Manchester, when
one of the passengers was dreadfully injtired, and
the driver had his thigh-bone broken. 'The ac-
cident took place near the toll-gate in Brindle,
where there is a sudden turn in the road, occa-
sioned, according to our information, by the ra-
pidity with which the coach was proceeding.--7
The passenger most injured is a servant girl, who
sat upon the roof on the side on which the coach
fell. The coach was dragged a few yards after it
fell, and the poor young woman's leg being at
that time under the iron railing, was lacerated in
a dreadful manner. A messenger having arrived
in Preston with the unfortunate intelligence, Mr.
Clbug.b, one of the proprietors; lost not a mo-
ment m proceeding with Mr. Lodge, the sur-
geon, to render every possible assistance to those
who might require surgical aid. The driver's
thigh was set when our informant left the spot,
and Mr. Lodge Was in consultation about am-
putating the limb of the poor woman. The
driver's name is Ball. He is a partner in the
coach, and keeps the Cheshire Tavern, in Bridge-
street, Manchester. About an hour after the ac-
cident the young woman's leg was taken off, but
notwithstanding the best skill and attention were
bestowed on her case, she died shortly after the
operation. 'The unfortunate young woman was
servant to Mr. Clayton, bOot and shoe Maker, of
Sugar-lane, in.,this town. Mrs. Clayton her-
self was on the
,coach, and had her collar-bone
broken. • The proprietor,sent her to Manchester
on the next coach; with a woman to attend on
her, but she now lies at home dangerously ill,
and, we fear,' not likely to recover , A servant
girl of Mr.*Holden, who keeps the Pig's Head,
in the pork shambles, in this town, was alSo- on
the coach, and got much shaken ; shy was.scon-
veyed home in the next coach, and is Considered
but just out of danger. A child that was with
its mother inside,,-was also much hurt. An in-

quest was held on the body of the girl on Satur-
day, and a verdict of cc Manslaughter" returned
against Mr. Ball, the driver. It is stated that he
was driving at the time at a most furious rate.
Thi unfortunate man is however beyond mortal
account, for he expired on Sunday morning, and
his remains were deposited in the New Burial
Ground, in Rusliolme-lane, yesterday. Besides
his thigh, his leg and arm were broken, and one
of his eyes knocked out,-21/anchesier Mercury.
