NR. CANNING'S FIRST POETICAL PRODUCTION.

The earliest production of the muse of Mr. CANNING
was a prize poem written while he was at the school of
the Reverend CUARLIS RICHARDS, at Hyde Abbey
House, near Winchester, befote the future politician had
attained • his fourteenth year, at which time be was re.
moved to Eton. The subject of the poem is the altar
piece in Winchester cathedral, painted by Wane, and
then just put up—the subject •• Camay raising Lazarus."
The poem was publicly recited in the school by the
young poet. It has sever been printed ; and it is doubt-
ed that even a copy of it exists at present. The foil 'w-
ing lines are quoted from memory in a provincial paper,
by a Gentleman who was at school with Mr. CANNING.
and had at the time.a copy of the entire. The entire
puce may be estimated from them—ex pale Hercteent.
They refer to MARY, the sister of LAZA RUS, and MAR-
/11A, in the act of silent adoration :
" The beauteous Maar, on the turf reclined,
Poor' forth the strong effulgence of her mind,
So heat I seen, when on the verdant mead
Young Arm. first the hours resplendent lead,
The opening clouds a gentle moisture pour,
And 'midst the sunshine drops the silent shower."

We mentioned lately the death, at Smyrna, of J. K.
FISHER, E.q. iesidecit partner of the secpectAle hoi.se
nt that city of M KERR, BLACK, and FISHER: we
r.ow copy the lollow•iug eulogium on that Gentleman
ham the Oriental Spectator, published at

" SM•SKA, Auo. 11

" The English commerce of Smyrna has just now sustained a
severe loss in the person of Mr. J. K. FISI4IIII, partner in the
house of Kass, Buser, and Figura, who died of a few days illness.
Ilerchants of all nations have felt It their duty to render the last
tribute of respect to his memory; and all of them have expressed
the most profound regret for the death of a Gentleman so highly
4"4 dewtyrdly esteemed. Mr. J. K. Flamm, who united much mo-
desty to consummate commercial knowledge,was particularly distin-
guished by great firmness of character, combined with a generosity
heart which gained him universal esteem and affection. His
numerous friends hem cordially sympathise with his funny on thi.
melancholy occasion."

The beautiful new stone bridge over the Serpentine
in Hyde Park continues an object of daily admiration.
£'e promenaders are always struck by its neat ap.
pumice, and pleased with the facility with which
they pass over the sheet i f water.

T. JAM tee PA RK.— YesterdAy morning hundreds of
persons collected round the building in St. James's Pen k
in which the steam engine has been erected, for pumping
the water out of the Canal, in consequence of a number of
binds being employed in pulling the whole of it down, as
it was supposed some dreadful accident had occurred by
the bnrsting of the boiler as the roof was just fi.ii 'bed. On
irquiry we were informed, that several Ladies, whose
back premises look into the Park, were annoyed by the
noise and ste.oke. This building has been erected at no
little expence. What means will be used to empty the
Canal is not known, but it is hardly possible for the
ks to go on without the water being pumped out.

THE THEATRES.
DEJJEY-LEANE THEATRE.
The Comedy of A Cure for the Heave Ache waafew
formed at this Theatre last night, for the purpose d
introducing *Mr. Jonas, late of Covent' Garden Theatre,'
for the first time, in the character of Young Rapid. IC
Ss scarcely necessary to say, that the audience re.eived
him in his new domicile with an unanimous weleoMe.
Mr. JoNas's merits, as a pea former. are too well known
and appreciated to neeJ any commendation from us at
the present day. It is sufficient to say, thst he doesbot
appear to hare lost any of his vivacity by being trans-
plaoted Irons the Garden. He kept moving, as usual.
much to the amusement of his auditors. Liar w played
()Id Rapid, if not so well as MUNDEN, cert.siuly with
much gravity. Tie other characters were respectably
sustained. Mr. J. BLAND appeared for the first time
out these boards, as Caspar, is Der l'reischutx. The
character was wellsust.iord. •
