PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE.

HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY.

This committee re-assembled yesterday Mr.
Labouchere in the chair.
The first witness called was ,

Mr. Roche, who, in reply to ques,ions by the
chairman, said he had been residing in Canada for
the last 16 years. He held an s tuation there
as fourth clerk in the Provincial Secretary's Depart-
ment of the Canadian Goverinn-nt,' and had re-
ceived written instructions to plac, li'mself in com-
munication with this committee. Be had been in
correspondence with persons connected with th:)
fur trade, and he had draw❑ up some memoratAa
on the subject.
Mr. Ellice suggested that the evidence in chef
should be given viva voce.
Mr. Roche, in reply to the Chairman, said he
had never been in the Hudson's Bay Company's
ter itory. But be was able to state generally what
were the mineral riches of the territcoy. There
were :valuable copper mines and malachite, &e.
By Mr. Christie—The feel ig of the 1 eop!e of
Canada was adverse to the Hudson's Bay Company,
and they thought that they had no right to hold
exclusive posses ion over such an extensive district.
By Lord Stanley —The Canadians generally
thought that territory ought to be annexed tto
Canada.

By the Chairman—He believed it was not ex-
act'y the feeling of the Canadians that Vaneouvet's
Island should be attached to Canaria, but they
should like to see it thrown open as a colony and
settlement. _ _ _ _

By Mr. Grogan—Be thought the feelirgs of the
Cana-Han people in resp,. ct to the territory were
the same as those of the old French Canadians on
that subject. The Canadians would prefer trying
the old prairies for settling to the uplands on the
Ottawa.
By Mr. Christie—He believed the Canadians
would like to see the Hudson's Bay Company
abolished altogether.
By the Chairman—When there was competition'
in the fur trade, there was confusion and disorder
and the introduction of spirits ; but spirits were
introduced now. With regard to the relations
between the Indian and whites in the American
territory, he was aware there had been a good deal
of bloodshed ; that was chiefly c.mfined to Oregon.
By Mr. Grogan—ln point of fact the Indians iu
Canada were increasing in number, intelligence,
and wealth, and were settling down as agriculturists
—they had communication with the whites.
• By Mr. Ellice—There was no fur trade carried
on by those whites and Indians in C•nada. He
Phould put an end altogether to the sale of spirits
for the sake of the Indians.
The room was cleared in order that the commit-
tee might decide as to the reception of certain
written documents which the wi.nes.s had with him.

On the parties being again admitted,
Mr. Roche, in reply to questions by Mr. Clyis-
tie, said ho wished to put in a petition front the
Red River settlers to the Parliament of Canada,
praying for the annexation of the Hudson's Bay
Company's territory to Canada. He said it wm
only a copy of the petition ; but the petition itself
had been signed by from 800 to 1,000 people. .
Mr. Ellice objected to the reception of such a
document as evidence—it was a most unusual

course.
Mr. Roche, in reply to Mr. Christie, said that a
committee of the Canadian Parliament was now
sitting to inquire into the questions broached in
that petition, and into the subject of the Hudson's
Bay Company's charter generally.
By Mr. Ellice—He did not know by what au-
thority the Colonial Legislature assumed to inquire
into charters granted by the Imperial Parliament
with regard to territories not belonging to them,
unless it might be to ascertain the effects of those
charters, and whether they conflicted with the
rights of the province of Canada.
The Chairman then thanked Mr. Roche for his
evidence, and he withdrew.
Captain D. Heard was the next witness. He
said he had beex in the service of the Hudson's
Bay Company for the last 23 years. He com-
manded some of their ships. He said, in reply to
questions by Mr. Ellice, he had been 23 years in
the company's territory, and ho never saw more
than one whale in all that time. He believed
there were no fish, and if there were the ice would
render their capture impossible.
By Mr. Christie—The company had never sent
out any steamers, nor did he think it would be
practicable. He was aware there was an Arctic
expedition, and that they had sent out steamers,
but be was not aware of the result. If a screw
steamer were sent out it would depend on the state
of the straits whether it would shorten the passage.
Sometimes ships were detained six weeks in the
straits without being able to move. The distance
from London to Hudson's Bay was calculated at
3,500 miles • it was farther than to Montreal, and
t ..more difficult passage altogether. He did not
know the value of his cargoes nOr the rates of in-
-surance. The tonnage was about- 520 tons. The
borne cargoes usually consisted of furs and oils and.
stone ballast. The outward cargo consisted of
manufactured articles, and tea and sugar and blan-
kas. There never were any applications from the
merchants at York to send home tallow or any
other produce, instead of the stone ballast they
were obliged to carry to steady the ships, owing to
the lightness of the articles which formnithe home
cargoes.
Mr. Miles was the next witness. He said he bad
been sent out to Vancouver's Island I y the Hud-
son's Bay Company as inspector of accounts. Ho
thought the soil of the island was superior to that
of England ; there was a large quantity of tinit er
and of coal ; the fisheries would be valuable in
course of time ; he thought there was every neces-
sary in the island to form one of the finest colonies
in the world ; the soil and climate were good, and
there was abundance of timber, coal, iron, and
fish. After describing the route be took through
the territory of the Susohatua, and the peculiarities
of the various districts as to climate and products,
the witness concluded his evidence.
The committee then adjourned until Thursday
next.

Sunshine and fsir weather were suddenly fol-
lowed by dark lower:ng cloudy, and before the
afternoon was far advanced a drenching rain fell.
This unpropitious change in the skier infinenc, s was
sufficient to deter many intending lady visitors to
reserve Clem. elves for Thursday—the Cup Day—.
when her Majesty and Court will be present. Still
the Heath was numerously attended ; the effect of
the railway on the gathering, was, however, appa-
rent in the comparatively scanty muster of vehicles,
and the increased number of pedestrians.
The Grand Stand was crowded, and notwith-
standing the inclement weather the assemblage of
ladies was p•Thaps scarcely below the average. In
the Queen's Stand and Private Stands were many
fashionable visitors, but we shall reserve our list of
distinguished persons until the Cup Day.
Under the active superintendence of the Earl of
Bessborough the arrangements for carrying out the
business of the meeting aee—as they invariably are
at Ascot of the most efficient des'ripti.n.
The rac'ng, it will be seen from the appended
detailed account, was marked by incidents of much ,
present interest and prospec•ive importance. The
success of Arsenal over Strathnaver caused the old
queston of, " Who was second for the Derby'?" to
be revived, while the horse was much tallied ablut
afterwards in connexion with the St. Lsger, for
which event 20 to 1 would have been taken about
him. Clydesdale, the winner of the Bit nnial Stakes,
is likely to play an important part in the Derby
betiiugof 1858. Altogether the racing was in fa
your of the fielders " the Stakes" being carried off
by a veri'able outsider, Claude Lorraine, who was
backed for small sums only at prices ranging be-
tween 100 to 8 and 100 to 5.

MILITARY RACES AT WARWICK.

-------- -
Our attention has been called to the official programme
of a series of events which are full of interest and excite-
meat to the sporting world, naniely,araceewhich
is fixed to take place, at Warwick, on m
the eting
23. d and
24th of September next. A leading feature
in this ,
affair is the rivalry of officers of the. French and
English armies and navies, who, having recently
tested their skill and strength in some. steeplechase con-
tests at La Marche, are about, with the aid of several
members of French Jockey and other clubs, to renew
the competition upon an English racecourse. The War-
wick Race Committee have not only expressly guaran-
a
teed 150/. towards the expenses of the meeting, with
view of securing so important a fixture, but taken upon
themselves additional responsibilities, amounting to
4001., whilst the town of Leamington guarantees 1501.
The first day's sport will consist of six events, the prin-
cipal of which, bearing the characteristic designations of
the Alma and Balaklsva Stakes, are to receive the aid
of liberal subscription tram the borough of Warwick.
There races n ill be confined to officers in active service
by land and sea. Two handicaps are thrown open to
tree members of certain specified clubs in both e i
countr ;
and in t /co other races jockeys will ride. The seconds
day's running is upon an equally extended scale. There
are an Inkerman Stakes and an handicap to each, of
which Leamington adds 501. of public money
topol Stakes, and another handicap—all four races being
confined to French and English officers. There will be
a third handicap, bearing a cognomen specially compli-
mentary to the " Hero of the Redan," and to which
will be appended 1001. from the receipts of the stand,
and also a plate of 501. given by the committee. The
Leamington Courier says, " We are assured that several
linndrett pounds have already been collected among
military gentltmen in furtherance of the objects of this
meeting, thus tecuriog the bonus announced for each

particular event in the programme, independently of
whatever amount of subscriptions may be locally col-
heed. Such a reunion of sportsmen from all-patte of
England and France, folowinz PO cloeely upon the-heele
of the usual September Meeting at Warwick, is Iwell
calculated to induce a I,rge number of visitors to prolong
their temporary sojourn in this neighbourhood. At the
late affair at La Marche, it was an English officer—
Captain Craven, of the Ist Life Guards, and nephew of
Earl Craven, of Combo Abbey—who bad the honour of
being the winner of the Great Military Steeplechase ;
but is only fair to state that two French noblemen,
Vicomte de Lauriston, and the Duke de Grama•ont.
Caderousse, who figured on the occasion, rode remark.
ably well."
