FROM TNt VCR[ IFIZIALN AVOIII7 11.

With the most painful feelings, we have to record the particulars
of tie lamented decease of Mr. Canning. He, the Prime Minister
of England, now lies stretched on the bed of death, and presents
teethe nation an humbling lesson on the uncertainty of all eart►ly
possessions, and on the unavailing power of the num c salted mentar.
attainments. The Statesman, who yesterday comma aced a career
of glory, which commanded admiration in many, and exited envy
in othets--this orator, whose arguments convinced, as t►e &COMM
flowed from Lis tongue, and to whom an admiring Senate listened
with delight—the active friend of civil and religious liberty,
and of an effectual and etterhive retrenchment—the Minister who
was a favourite both with his Soveteign and the People, is no inure.

TRc.ll THE CALEDONIAN 14tItelnlY,_AUQUST 11.

The grievous calamity for which the public were so well pre:
pared, and which all but too confidently anticipated, has at length
befallen the country: the ittght Honourable 640111011 Cauxraoa
is nu more. lie caviled without a struggle, and almost with-
out a ugh, a little before four o'clock ou Wednesday morn-
ing. This most melancholy and distressing event has spread
a deep gloom over the whole face of society ; and with the ex-
ceptin of those few base and malignant spirits in whom the bitterness
of political animosity isnot appeased by that which extinguishes the
hatred of other men, there is not an individual by whom this
afflicting visitation of Pnotrtoence has not been feleas if It had been
a private deprivation. Never did we hear such deep lamentation,
never did we witness such sincere and heartfelt sorrow for the Inn
of any public man. Every one seems struck with dismay, and in
the oetteral grief and sorrow which is felt all meaner thoughts and
c.incttrns have been for the moment quenched.
