The following brief memoir of Mr. Canning, abridged from a biographical sketeh in the Liverpool Albion, we doubt not, will be ac ceptable to our readers : Mrv Canninn; was the lineal descendant 6f the elder branch of the Cannings of Gar- vagh in the county of Londonderry. He was born in (he year 1770, and consequent ly was 57 years old at his death. i , Mr. Canning's father having displeased his family, by an early union with his mo ther, whose, death dt a very advanced age, vyjjs announced a' short time ago, was cut oft from his paternal inheritance, which passtd bv! will, to the late Paul Canning, Eso. of Garvagh, his younger brother, and father of the present Lord Garvagh. Mr, Can ning, the elder, after his marriage, came to London, and entered himself as a student of, the Middle Temple, from which he was called to the bar. He-was a gentleman of very considerable literary attainments, and like this highly gifted son, had a talenl for poetical torhposition, and some of his ver ses have been very much admired. He di ed in April, 1771, leaving his son George an infant, x ounc: Canning was brought un ot his uncle, whose fulnl- trust reposed in him was dis- v sanctioned, increase in a double ratio to trie abi- charged with the most exemplary kindness X'.77 f 1rPnblc to discharge them. an(, fi(ei,y.: At &n eary ae e ws gftn, t That the whole system is wrong from the foun- : .iB :i r ' .Aaition and contrary to the "dictates of mture to Eaton, .hat great school of eminent men, i-.and'al'L'tiie warm .feelings of 'humanity, a few here, among other companions of cong.- ' rv' tf'woi'ds will be amply sufficient to proved All 3 r ''A '80Uice-,tLaK out own individual labour and exer C;iv 'tirii)s foV.the sunnoi t of life: tends in every in- vtc linns lor.ine supnon ' .

At Eton, Mr. Canning gave very decided indications of that pure classical taste of which his ripe years exhibited so many specimens, and of the poetical vein with which his speeches continued to the last to be so deeply imbued, though more serious and important avocations h.id long disabled, it pot disinclined him, for the tormal cul titration of an art of which few bave display ed! earlier or! more promising specimens While a school, he planned and edited we oeneve, out certainly contriDutetl most largely to, that very lively little work, the Microcosm, of which he wrote ten pjpers, (the whole number was only forty) and lurntshcU a portion ot other two. Nine of the papers contributed by young Canning were in prost, the tenth was a poem : and considering his ago, a very wonderful one. on the slavery of Greece. from hiton, Mr. Canning proceeded to Christ Churqh, Oxford, where the fame of the first dawning of his talent had nrenar. ed for him a welcome, which the cold and contracted notions of its members denied to tne maiureo giones or the orator and the statesman. fMr. Cannino's csreor t rw ford was a splendid fulfilment of the high promise he had given at Eton. His attain ments while there, and the high character which h afterwards maintained, are the more wormy ot remark, because that nre- epeity of talent of which his early years es- uU..j,.u.i wnuiaiiian fiampie, is oy no means the necessary nor the ordinarv i.r- curspr of solid ami lasting mrrif. Tho rip. verness whie is displayed in early.youth, is very geneii.il!y followed bv mediocrity in manhood, and he who admired as a boyis barely tolerated when riner vearshavp sub jected the value of his compositions to se- vereriesis. uut the genius of Mr.Canntn iiis; entering ita-.waiw' itne accession ,ri is r engtb w hich tne Va ft k of t he bpposi t fan were to receivevi from;- the taje'ita of At r Canning was proudly .announced; AVe do not recollect an occasion when high- n compliment was paid to" any youthful aspi rant, from the incidence: of his talents a lorte. And. M'ben we consider that' Mr- Cannlno'sfatnilviWas bv no means one of - r - j j DoweV;or of fortune, that his Either was but a barrister of no high standing whileV alivx, and hail then been dead and forgot teti for tvvenW vearji, that the son" was al liVrL to no'reat Tamil v.- and destitute of - - - private fortune, we must be prepared to attribute no ordinary share of sagacity to the Uiends oi Mr. rox on tnts occasion, in discerning in the student of two & twentv, he seeds of those statesmanlike Qualities which have grown up and borne fruit in such abundance since. Mr. Canning was not, however, destined to swell the number of Mr. box's followers. lie is said to have consulted his friend Sheridan on the offer of a seat in Parliament being made to him, and tHe latter, on being ap pealed to, in respect to the side of the house which it was mot suitable to choose. is reported to have advised him, with much frankness, to go to the right which opened an equally wide field for the display of his extraordinary powers, while it also opened the wav to that station in the councils thp countrv. without the possession of . j . . r which their owner eould not expect that they would ever prove of much "advantage to himself or to the state.whose whole influ ence was at his command, a much better reason for his joining Mr. Pitt than can be found in a piece of advice which, from the political views oi its author, he could hard ly look upon as sincere. Subsequent to his quitting the University, Mr. Canning kept terms tor some time at Lincoln s inn ; he was never, however, called to the bar. In 1793,hecame into Parliament as member for Newport, in the Isle of Wight, which was vacated by Sir R. Worsley for that purpose. With that strong sagacity which was a distinguishing feature in his charac ter, with the modesty, also, which is a ne ver failing accompaniment of genuine abi lities, Mr. Canning seems to have been determined to acquaint hinself peifectly with the forms and usages of the House of Commons before he took an active share in its debates. In consequence of this re solution, we do not find that he spoke at all during the first session that he sat in Parliament. In 1796 Mr. Canning became an ostensible member of the administration, of which he was, thenceforward, to become the most distinguished ornament ; he was appointed one of the Under-Secretaries of State for the Foreign Department under Lord Grenville. Onr that occasion he va cated his seat for Newport, and was re turned for Wendover. In the session of 1796 7, subsequent toappoihtment as Under-Secretary he made a brilliant display of talents as a speaker on the question of the Canning continued in office until the retirement of Mr. Pitt in 1801. On the reiurn of Mr. Pitt to office, Mr. Can ning was appointed Treasurer of the Navy, which office he held until the death of that illustrious statesman in 1806. On the dissolution of the Ministry of Mr. Fox Mr. Canning came once more into of fice, as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. On Mr. Canning's rejoining the admin istration, he was nominated ambassador to Lisbon, an appointment which he was prin cipally induced to accept, on account of filiate scenefcauf strict a 'fV , lj ' ' ' VV.1C Tint kf ftnmmnn I- 1 ' l'l :c .rL veHlnp. ihP oiom nent evils of the astern mm.

Of him it might be truly said, nihil quod ttti git non ornavit i to the driest and most "uninviting subject he could impart inter est, and, like the fabled Aurora, his muse dropped roses wherever she winged her night, but his ornaments were neither pro f';if, nor inconsiderate nor idly "applied. His decorations did not'like the ivy round the oak, overlay and weakein his subject. In their utmost seeming luxuriance, they were exquisitely adapted to the great end of the 8peak r-the conviction and persua sion of his auditors. To this all his figures however numerous or complicated, Were in strict subservience. Many who have not heard Mr. Canning, and who have but imperfectly studied his orations, have beet? inclined to regard him as a man of words, as a Reclaimer rather than as a rea soner : but 'this opinion which was- equal ly held by inconsiderate judges in respect of Burke and Sheridan is unfounded. Mr. Canning's mind like his conduct had no trash about it. His sentences were as pregnant with ; thought as they were re plete with hirmony. . . There are many of Mr. Canning's pub lic acts to which we have not even advert ed, and those to which we have adverted we have been under the necessity of pass ing over slightly. Ot the steady and con sistent manner in which he advocated the question of the slave trade, and his early anil. continued attachment to the cause of the Greeks, we have already spoken. His continued advocating the cause of Catho lic emancipation is equally worthy of no tice. The charge of inconsistency was never, indeed, more misapplied than when made against Mr. Canning, who in the long period of thirty-five years that he sat in Parliament, never abandoned one ques tion to which he had once attached him self. Mr. Canning married, in 1790, Joan, daughter of he late Gen. Scott of Belle vue, near Edinburgh, and sister of the" Du chess of Portland, who was married to the Duke, then Marquis of Tichfield, at the same time.' The issue of this marriage as a son, whose premature decease, in 1820, we have-already noticed, two other sons, one present at the death of his father, -(a captain in the Navy,) and the. o'her a student at Eton, and one daughter married to the Marquis of Clanricardv in 1-825. For all that the highest wishes -of human -ity can aspire to, he has lived long enough.

In 1816, he vvas appointed President of the Board of Control, and in 1822, Governor. Genera! of India. No sooner had Lord Londonderry fallen, than all eyes were turned towards Mr. Canning, and he re sumed his place at the Foreign Office, with an unanimity of approbation, among the nation at large, hardly lss markeif than that which accompanied his elevation to the last step in the ascent of a subject the Premiership of England. The period between his return to tbe Foreign Office and his death, has unquestionably been the splendid portion of Mr. Canning's politi cal life 5 and while the reason is obvious, namely, that since that period he has been free to prosecute those plans, which his de liberate judgment told him were most con sistent with the welfare of the nation,which best con'ribufed to the honor of England, and to- the general advancement of liber' v, intelligence, and happiness every where, we are compelled, if we would maintain a character for fair and impartial judgment to admit tnat to the converse, to the re straint laid upon his wishes and his ac- tions.during the previous part of his course I I - ..i" -i l ! 1 . . is rainy atiriuuaoie wnaiever inconsisten cy or impropriety '.ve may discover in it. Of the recent changes of Administration, which the much lamented, illness of Lord Liverpool rendered necessary, it is unne cessary to say much. Whatever fhe op position, in either House of Parliament, whatever their advocates out of Parliament mar bave said, Mr. Canning was the onlv man in the kingdom to whom the people of rne-ann inoKeti up as a tatting successor to Lord Liverpool. Mr. Canning is so re. cer.tly departed from us, fhat we can hardly Lvet speak of him, but as of one who l stil f existing and present ; and, even had a much longer interval elapsed, we do not pretend .that we sbguht: have been a ble to speak of one, wjfom we Kave so long reganled with feelings of affectionate ad miration, with the stern and rigid im par tiality which the truth f history demands. . Considered in the light of iB Author, Mr. Canning presented points tn th rri tic.; His acknowledged pieces are extreme- most unfair, to jud; etches which were than tffey were ioV- ors nothir.g but the easy task of following up ideas which they h.dnot tbe merit of originating. There was one question which he left unsettled, and to the settlement of which many years may yet be 'requisite ; but that was not his question, earnestly and honestly as he labored to own it. Those acts of policy which are to hand down his nameas a patriot and a minister, tne recognition or&outh America, the pro tection of Portugal, the restoration of Greece, he uig!it have seen all completed, had he been spared a few months longer : but he died with the proud satisfaction! mat tne foundation was so solidly and se curely Ihid, that to meaner hands might safely be intrusted the task of raising The superstructure. It has been.said, that for his country he has not lived long enough he has not. But how long must he have lived to induce his country to say that" he had lived long enough ? So part when he would, in her grief, she would have complained of his being subject to the laws of mwtality, for When would she hnve been " conteut to purl with one She so highly valued ?
