MR. CANNING'S FUNERAL

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 %ting,l
be prepared immediately adjoining the font of tilat in
which the remains of Mr. Purr were deposited. .1t
this consultation, the Dean renewed his offer f 11:e
Jerusalem Chamber, as a waiting-room for those I tie-at
of the late Premier who may be admitted by the
tickets ahovementioned; and he also offered his private
parlour for the accommodation of such of the Corp
Diplom:ague as may choose to attend the funeral.—
The Dean likewise strenuously urged the friends of
Mr. CANNING to accept the services of the choir upon
the melancholy occasion ; but this was declined, en the
ground, that they wished the funeral to be as unostes•
tatious as it possibly could be, consistently with the
rank of the deceased —The coffin is covered with trim•
son velvet, and very handsomely studded and decorated
with wrought brass ornaments, highly burnished and
lackered.—The folio% log is a copy of the In,ci ;pi ion :

Ma. Cam atm.—By the recent demise of the Right Honourable
George Canning, a solemn and sublime lesson has been read to the
world, a lesson which, though studied in tears, and written in the
awful characters of death, may be productive f much:gond. Drat
is the greatest republican, the tyrant democrat, the scorner of ruts
and titles, the leveller of orders and distinctions, the great readier,
who feelingly persuades us what we are. No living man stood 600
as Mr.Cannning stood. He was not merely the Minister of the grand
country in the world, but he was the silent and successful eerie
tionizer of almost all Europe. He was insensibly breathing a breath
et life over the dark and chaotic waters which survived the. Warr('
the French revolution—he was slowly animating the crippled &

almost dead body of freedom on the Continent; asid,”sinitscl
exposing the country to the hazard of another war, was pull
driving the chariot wheels of monatchy into the path of a
and constitutional policy. Yet his policy, as he said !linnet
was decidedly English. lie wished to make England truly gfe•:-'
he wished to unshackle her from all monopolies—to mike her ;ah
free—to gradually cause her bread to be cheap.—tu give peace and
happiness to Ireland—to lessen the expenses of ativetnmeu:, a.l.lfs
reduce the burdens of taxation. Of all these things he bit gives
promise ; yet when kis mind was ready with the great plan, mulls
bead prepared for the glorious accomplishment,
AU that's bright must fade,
T►e brightest still the fleetest ;
MI that's sweet was made,
But, to be lost, was sweetest.
