FETE CHAMPETRE IN THE GROUNDS OF CAMPDEN
HOUSE.—One of the most brilliant and interesting
fetes of this season was held on the 10th inst., in the beau-
ful grounds of the fine old Palace of Campden. House, be-
longing to W. F. Wolley, Esq , and which about two years
ago was entirely destroyed by fire. The ruins of a house,
rich in memories of kings and queens and other great and
celebrated characters wh , have lived in it, are always inte-
resting, but, in this instance, the great popularity and
princely hospitality of the present proprietor, Mr. \Volley,
who, on Thursday last, received his guests in the grounds,
because he had been burnt out of the house, lent a moe
touching and even affecting peculiarity to this fete.

Hudson's Bay Co.'s Monopoly and Canada.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN.
SIR,—I thank you for the insertion of my letter on the
Bth, and again recur to it. By the advertisement of the
International Financial Society, they claim, No. 2, " The
landed territory of the company held under their charter,
and which extends over an estimated area of more than
1,400,000 square miles, or upwards of 896,000,000 millions
of acres."

Should the Government, against the rights of the Crown
and people, sanction such a claim, the knell of British
supremacy in Canada will soon sound, for as sure as such
an illegal and unjust monopoly would be granted, Canada,
loyal as she is and desires to be, will secede.
The British Minister and the British Parliament have
been forewarned. In 1858 I visited all the cities of Canada
on the subject, and know the feelings of all classes well.
