Mr. CANNING was in the habit of spending a few

family follow him to the grave.

It is not supposed it will be news to any of our readers, when we
announce the death of Mr. Canning ; for the intelligence of the
has a flight so rapid, that it is probable the calamity will be known
ere this over the whole kingdom. For this disastrous event the
public were prepared ; but. notwithstanding, some people did fondly
cling to the hope that his constitution might probably rally, and his
valuable services be continued to the country during the present crisis
of its state. The mow ning for his death will be sincere, lot it was part
of Mr. Canning's system to give freedom to the nation; and mete
kindred, tongue, and people, looked to the principle of the British
• Goys filament as the means by which their emancipation was to be
finally accomplithed. While he presided at the Councils of oer
Government, there was not a tyrant but trembled on his throne—
there was not a slave but whose heart beat high with hope of liberty.
Freedom and enfranchisement was proclaimed every w►eet: a
bright and glorious prospect for England, and through her, Inc the
whole catch was opened to mankind. A new era was com-
menced, when it was hoped all the blessings would be realised
of universal emancipation; but, alas! Mr. Canning I• now deid,m4
all these glowing visions are dimmed. It was he who stood a huh
wark to protect the country from the dominion of that faction whuk
repels all reform and innovation—which stigmatizes freedom as
anarchy—and the end, aim, and perfection of whose system, is to da
vide society into two classes, the one to consist of despots, and the
other of their victims.
