Canning took formal of the president on the 13th inst and, since he has left this city, probably not to return, we may say of we believe, with perfect truth, that during his residence here, he has, by the plain simplicity of his manners, his urbanity, and his hospitality, acquired the respect and esteem not only of the resident inhabitants of this city, but of all our citizens whose public duties or private pursuits have caeionally brought them to this metropolis.

She had hardly passed cape Rouge, about 4 when she was discovered to be on fire- A quantity of fuel had been placed on the right side the boilers, under which it is supposed some particle of fire must accidentally have fallen. When Mr. Knper (who had taken temporary charge of the boat, the master having lately left it,) was first alarmed, the fire seemed trifling he hastened upon deck to direct that water should be poured down without delay; but on coming up, was astonished to find that the flames had penetrated the gra- tings over the engine room, where luckily 5 puncheons of spirits had been of which instantly caught fire burst and spread over the deck, communicating the blaze to several crates and hampers The horror and confusion of the scene at this moment may be imagins ed, but can harJly be described.

I hesc violations, or, more properly speaking, outrages, it will be recollected, became so frequent, as to oblige the venerable propiietor of the place, a short time since, to prohibit pviblic parties from resorting thither. Having, however, with his usual urbanity, departed from ibis rule in the present case, it is sincerely hoped that every good citizen will use his endeavors, and, if necessary, aid the marshals of the day, in preserving and preventing a repitilion of the injuries spoken of, For the information of those who may be disposed to unite in the celebration on this occasion, we will mention that the I steamboat Washington will stop at Alexandria, at half past nine a. m.

and take passengers to and from Mount Ver Don, at gl each. The subscribers to the dinner will dine in Alexandria. A slip which wc received yesterday from the office of the Norfolk Herald, states the death of licut. J. M.

Daniel ilazcn, a black boy, was exam' ined early this week before judge Davis, for having killed Thomas Perry, the cook of the schooner Agawam, bound to Boston, on the 18th day of May The vessel was between eape May and cape Nichola Mole, when the quarrel i took place.

I he bov and cook were of- i ten quarrelling together, and one day, af- i ter a violent dispute, the boy went be' i low and brought up a knife sod some o- I (her articles. He then told the cook he I was ready for him when the latter made a pass at him with a rope, and i struck him over the, shoulders. They closed, and presently the blood ran co- piously. The cook was found stabbed in the right arm, above the elbow, and tho a surgeon from on board the British 1 sloop of war Speedwell, examined the wound, yet he died in about 12 hours. Hazen was committed to take his trial a for manslaughter.

Considering that Iturbide has been denounced by them as a traitor and usurper, the congress have shewn the most signal evKlenc.es of kindness and magnanimity They have passed a detree permitting him to select the place of his banishment, which, it is true, they had no right to deny him but they have also allowed aim twen y-five thousand dollars per annum during his own and eight thousand dollars per annum io his family, after his death.

Bob frerebee, a negro man, belonging to the estate of the late Wilson Butt, esq.

of Norfolk county, who ran away about six years ago, during which time he hat! rendered himself notorious and even formidable for his daring outrages, anti who was the chief of the party of outliers in the neighborhood of the Great Bridge by whom so many atrocious outrages have been committed, was apprehended a short time since and committed to jail Among other offences a Hedged against him, was the murder of Mr, David Man riing, in 1818. Mr. Manning was at work in his corn field when he was shot by some person concealed in the adjoinwoods and fell dead. The murderer escaped unperceived at the moment, but racts were afterwards disclosed which Fastened the guilt upon Bob Hob, however, contrived to elude the of justice for five years, arid was Anally taken by He was yeserday brought up for trial, before a court of magistrates of Norfolk couny, for the murder of Mr. Manning, and lpon due examination of the evidence, tc was found guilty, and sentenced to be lung on Friday the- 25th of July.

It will hardly be credited that in this eminent peril, characters were found so inhumanly depraved as to avail themselves of the common distress to plunder their fellow sufferers, li has however been reported tu us, and we fear upon good authority, that tluwas the case, and that some of the first who landed detained the boats, regardless of the lives of those who remained on board, and commenced a most brutal a late hour ol the dav manv were yet brutal state of intoxication, uttering the most lerocious execrations and threats against the proprietors of the vessel. ft is but justice to Mr.

We are sorry to find that the boat was not insured, and that he. thereby, sustains a heavy loss, independent of the properly he had on board beine a principal owner Mr. illard of Sheffield, is said to have lost property to the amount Mr. Cartier and Mr, hranchere, of Chambly, were also sufferers.

The destruction of this boat will prove a serious inconvenience to the public, as by means bf her a regular communication with I.ake Champlain had been opened, and Mr. Kuper spared neither pains nor expense to render accommodations equal to those of any other boat of her class. Mr. Kuper expresses the utmost gratitude to the propiietors of the steam boat lelegraph, for their alacrity in sending that boat to their assistance several pen ttemen ot Quebec, also rendered him their services. I'he boat drifted as the tide rose, and was last seen off St Augustine, neatly burnt to the water's edge.

Hitherto the steam boats upon the St. Lawrence have been singularly fortunate, this being tb-j first serious accident which has occurred. it is unnecessary for us to appeal to the feelings of a public, always keenly alive to the calls of humanity, in behalf of the unfortunate strangers who, by this cruel accident, ate left destitute.
