TUESDAY, Two oTt.occ.
Th-re is every appearance of the day's sport being very
indifferent, two of the races appointed having just gone off,
with a probability of another. Rigmarole is drawn for
the Plate, and Sir John Shelley and Mr. Nowell have paid
for the 100 sous. Sweepstakes. The occasion of this de-
falcation in the sport (which is generally comparatively
short in the first October Meeting) may be traced to the
absence of a considerable nutniwr of the best horses, who
have been at the different country meetings. Many are
al-living, and to arrive from Doncaster and other places, to
be ready for the second October Meeting, for which the
entries are 11UMCTOUP.

The following may be sailed to the list of arrivals :
The Marquis of Exeter, Earl Camilla, Sir John Bog, Major
Peer, 111. P., Ron. Mr. Duncionhe, Mr. Maw:bottom, &c.
A match has been matte for Thursday between Lord
Exeter's Recruit, Bst. 71h., and Lord Anson's Heroine,
Sat. Mb., to rust the T.Y.C.

EMIGRATION TO CANADA.—(From }be lansgart Free
l'resx of Sept. 20.)—We give the following letter, in an-
swer to a petition from an Emigration Society here, which
we transmitted, by special request, to Earl Bathurst, Se-
cretor) to the Colonies:—

" Downing-street, Sept. 27, DM.
" Sir—l em directed by Lord Bathurst to acknowledge the re-
ceipt (ripply letter of the 21st September, and 1 ant to a quaint
you, in reply, that the subject of emigration was aubntittted, in the
course of the last Secrion of Parliament, to the consideration of a
Committee of the House of Commons, whose report and evidurce
are now b,fore the public.
" It will be for Parliament, in the course of next Session, to con-
sider, whether it may be expedient to adopt any measure with re-
apeet to emigration ; Lot, in the meantime, as no funds whatever
have been voted by Parliament, to facilitate the emigration of
bodies or individuals, his Majesty's Government have not the
means of affording encouragement to persons proceeding as ratters
to his Majesty's dominions in North America, beyond a grant of
land which they will receive on applying to the Governor of the
Province, proportioned to the means of cultivation, which, they
may demonstrate that they respectively possess. Far the sante
reasons, it must also be distinctly understood, that fret passages are
no longer by his Majesty's G,,veznonent.
" I am, Sir, your obedient servant.
