their figs and bands of music. A sm.ll platform
had been erected outside the Hill, whereon the MAltt a
appeared to receive the nominations. Dr. HARRINGTON
proposed Mr. LAWSON as a Et and proper person to re-
present this City in Parliament. Mr. DOBINSON seconded
the nomination.

Alderman Sr J. GILPIN proposed Sir JAMES GRA-
HAM, which was seconded by Mr. RICHARD LOVIIIIIL.
Colonel Luourztorora then addressed the people at
considerable length—he doubted not that the suppott I
he hsid been promised would enable him to maintain
his cause with success ; one objection, but surely not aI,
good one, had been brought him, that he was a stranger.
If he happened not to be very well known to them, he
hoped before long to be able to claim a better ac-
quaintance. He approved of the Corn Bill, which
unfortunately did not pass, and was favOurable
to all the measures of the President of the Board of
Trade. He concluded by recommending moderation
and good temper in the contest. Sir James was inter-
rupted repeatedly during his speech by the opposite
party, which he bore with good humour.
Mr. LAWSON, on .presenting himself, was received
with marks of great applause, which continued during
a loag speech, in which the Gentleman stated what his

conduct he meant to pursue if he was so fortunate as to
obtain their favour; that he was favourable to the ma-

but as e sential to it ; that he was a zealous advocate
for a Reform in Parliament and Roman Catholic Eman-

the plivileee afforded by Lis cloth, accepted the chal-
lenge of Mr. G—y.

PIiItNAMBUCCI. JuNz 29.—We have been in a con-
siderable state of alarm, in consequence of the discovery
of a conspiracy, which had for its object the formation
of a RepublicattGovernment, the murder of the General,
and other authorities. The Custom House was to have
been burnt, and the town given up to plunder. Fortu-
nately tranquillity has not been disturbed; and, as there
have been several imprisonments, things will go on as
usual. Several prisoners, from vessels captured by the
privateer, were put on shore here on the 15th instant ;
amongst them the master of the Novo Triumfo da
Inveja, who states, that he was taken two days after
sailing from Rio GI ande do Sul, and that he supposes
his b,i3, wish other prizes, was unt to the Island of
St. Thomas.

DREADrur. Firm—Between one and two o'clock this
morning, a very alarming fire broke out upon the pre-
mises of Mr. JACKSON, corn dealer, Rotherhithe-lane,
which in a few minutes spread throughout the premises,
and before any adequa e means could be used to check
its progress, burned the house down to the ground and
damaged some premises in the rear. No accident to
life occurred.

Yesterday morning. between ten and twelve o'clock,
the house of Mr. Anderson, surgeon, Great St. Thomas
Apostle, was entered by the street-door by some of
those lurking rascals who watch every opportunity
to commit depredations. The c.nly loss sustained on
this occasion was the usual silver things used at the
breakfast-table, consisting of five or six teaspoons,
sugar-tongs, salt spoons, a butter-knife, Acc. In the
same apartment from which the thief succeeded in
extracting the above. was other plate more valuable,
only co►ered over by a green baize cloth. -

. THE LATE MR. CANNING.

At nine o'clock yesterday evening the crier toll I
intended to contain the remains rf the late 31iiiittee,.
,having been etimpleted, it was conveyed by several cl
'Mr. Jastvis's men to Downing-street; and although it
was dark at the time, a number t f persons collected
otrside Mr. JAitels's house, and when the coffin was
brought out, the, followed it to the residence of the
late Premier, in Downing-streeta On its arrival there
it was carried into the stirring Mtn, Where the body has
b.en decosited since it was removed from Chiswick-,
and a leaden plate with *short inscription having bee„
soldered on the shell, the latter was placed in the outer
coffin; on the lid was a brass plate, upon which was
engraved the isscription in full. Moose the inscridtion
appeared the coat of arms of the late Premier, with the
following motto-41 Ne cede malls sed conrrt.4 At
half past ten o'clock Mr. JARVIS proceeded to the Teti•
dente of the Duke of PORTLAND. in Cavendish•tqualf,
for the purpose of receiving final instructions relative
to the funeral, and getting a list of those N blemen
and Gentl. men who are to follow to the grave the re•
mains of the late Premier. The number of applicwitnis
for tickets to attend the funeral into the Abbey already
exceed 800.—The coffin, which is of English oak, is
covered with Lich crimson velvet—a distii.ction which;
with the exception of Ministers cf State dying while in
office, is conferred upon none but the Nobility.—The
Funeral Service will be read by Dr. Imam), tl,e Dean

of Westminster.

in addition to the high official stations of First Lord Camels-
Mauer of the Treasury and Chancellor, and tinder Treasurer of the
Exchequer, the following are a kw of the offires, political, lireney,
and charitable, which the late eminent Premier Sited at the period
el Isis decease : He was Receiver-General of the Alienation officer
Member for Seaford, an official Trustee of the Museum,
and one of the few Family Trustees of the same National Inintu-
thea, a Member of the Privy Council, one of the Council of the

Mr. Canning is dead !—the respecter of the rights of Engt.h.

public duty—another noble •ictim has bled i n the altar of inno.
rable ambition. And yet it is a glorious cause, for the furtherance
of which a man may be proud to live—for the sake of which he
need not fear to die.

It is about eight weeks since she writer of this memoir last my
Mr. Canning. His constitutina had been much shaken by the vie.
lent attack he bad undergone in the spring, the consequence ofa
cold caught at the Duke of York's funeral At dinner, Mr. Canning
looked care-worn anti enfeebled ; but as the &pion was approach.
ing to its close, his friends fondly looked forward to a period of
comparative repose, which might gradually repair his shattered
constitution.—But how little repose is ever in reserve for the Prime
Minister of the King of England !
Mr. Canning bad always Acorn the writer particular kindness.
in the recollection of vehicle I now derive a melancholy consolation;
and on that evening, as his guest's departed, I remained accidentally
last in the room, and when I wished him " Good night, and fare-
well," !leashed " When I left town!. " In three days." .• Al"
said he, "so soon ?. Then good bye ; I shell not see you again." I
shook him tenderly by the hand, and said, " GOD bless you, Sir;
for as I looked in his pensive, though beaming, countenance,
marked the impression which disease had left, and care tstaldfsM,
upon his "faded cheek, yet under brows of dauntless courage anti
consid pride," the sad thought started across my mind that
perhaps, indeed, I should not see bins again.
And now, in little more than one short month afterwards, with
bitterness do I lament the fulfilment of that presage. I mown for
a public calamity—l mourn for a private losskr a friend departed
—for a stay removed. Yet he has left a glorious example. I line
heard of his fault'', but I sever saw them ; and if I saw them sot
when he was alive, I will not hear of them now that he is dead.
Farewell then, accomplished acholar, profound statesman, as.
equalled orator !—in humour unrivalled, is argument saanswered,
in eloquence irresistible!,
Few, but bright, have been the days of,thy triumph ! Dark is tie
ur that summons thee from hence ! Foe a short moment thus
but adorned the eminence to which thine high destinies had malted
thee, and the universe is filled with the effulgence of thy farm.
So Hercules, having by virtue achieved imperishable rerowo,tt
the close of his career, in pain and suffering, toiled up the IMP
of CEte, and perished in the blaze of the funeral pyle which Muni
labours had constructed.

A FRIEND TO THE DEPARTED

When the i, •diligence of Mr. Canning 's illness arrived at tie
Park un Wednesday last, Lord Wellesley, deeply impressed we
the impending calamity, ordered an entertainment which had bets
prepared for Mr. Lamb, Mr.Wilmot-Honon, the Knight of Kern,t
and several distinguished persons, to be postponed. His Excellent/
also postponed the introduction of the Lord Mayor and Shea!
Elect, which had been fixed for Saturday,wod also the cuemooy
laying the first stone of the King's Bridge, which had been ap
pointed fur Monday. We are not surprised that a community of
genius, and the long personal friendship which subsisted betwom
these illustrious persons, should render the danger or death of Mr.
Canning a subject of poignant regret to Lord Wellesley.—Doai
Patric*.

" The death of Mr. Canning bas produced the most general sod
profound sensation here. No news since that of the battle a

In the first momenta of alarm and doubt, it was generally believed,
or at least asserted, that his death was owing to poison. The ne
dity with which his decease followed the first announcer:twit of id
Indisposition—the vioient hatred he had inspired the Apostobni
party with—the dread they had of the effect of his measures, lec•
were the grounds upon which this very absurd opinion was based
The most intense anxiety is now manifested here, to know eke
