tie (Mr. L.) took that opportunity, before the close
of the Session, to implore his Majesty's Govern-
ment to take into their most serious consideration
the condition of that colony, with a view to conci-
liation and amendment.

Sir GEORGE MURRAY expressed himself
very anxious to take every step to allay the irri-
tation which at present existed in Canada, and he re-
gretred that the seeds of that irritation were sown
long before tale arrival of Lord Dalhousie in that
Colony. A Committee had been appointed to enquire

Mr. HUSKISSON thought the appointment
of the Committee to inquire into the state of
the Colony would be productive of the greatest
benefits to the colony. He defended the conduct of
the Governor in dismissing the Militia Officers, as
they, according to Lord Dalhousie, were guilty of mi-
litary insubordination, but be (Mr. H.) at the same
time considered it a hardship that persons hold-
ing military rank in that Colony, should be re-
strained from exercising their civil rights, and he

thought that the statements in the petition deserved 1
the consideration of Parliament and of his Majesty's I
Government, with a view to the amelioration of the
condition of that Colony.
Sir J. MACKINTOSH said that the alienation
of the feelings of the people of Canada from this
country was owing rather to recent events than to
any defects in the system adopted at the time
of the annexation of that Colony to Great Britain.
During the last years the temper of the Colonies
was changed, and he could not but think that there
must have been something in the conduct of the
Governor, or of those by whom he was advised,
to cause that estrangement.
Mr. J. E. DENISON enison thought that the
grievances arose less from the system than from the
manner in was administered.

[LEFT SITTING.]

TATTERsALL's Tins DA Y

A considerable number of Turf's-men, mustered to day,
but the betting was far from being brisk. It will be seen
that Bessy has risen half a point since Thursday, and
bids fair to stand a good favourite, although it is thought
that the Colonel will be first at starting; the betting Le-
tween them is now 11 to 10 on the mare. The following
is the closing list :

SPARRING, THIS DAY.

Alic Reid took a sweetener to-day, in preparation for
his twisting of to-morrow with Bishop Sharp. He looked
in pretty fair condition, and tirst-rate confidence. The
Bishop, we hear, is " as well as can be expected,", and
his friends are backing Lint at a shade above sto 4. The
attendance was but thin to-day, aid consequently the
takings but limited. Lew Latham and Sam Foote opened
the pleadings, and were followed by Sheen and Smith.
The latter received two such ticklers, that being a tailor
he could not come again, but was carried off nearly sense-
less by Jem Burn. Ned Stockman and the Woolwich
Baker shook hands, and made play ; the Baker was pretty
nearly overdone although underdone in a trial for the
throw:; Ned challenged him 50/. to 401. ; Doughey
wanted to fight for a purse to-morrow. Ned then chal-
lenged any man of 9% stone. Bitton and Harry Lancas-
ter then mounted for a scene, and produced lots of laughter
and grimace. Bitton is still dropsical, though so fre-
quently topped. Clements and Young Ward (no relation
to Jan), then took possession of the mufflers. This bent
produced more laughter than can be easily conceiv ed.
Both were novices and moved like the beam of a steam-
engine. Clements was a giant, and was evidently a good
mower. He Nvi 1 1 never shine or strike as a pugilist, and
had better rest contented with the coppers which he
bagged. Seroggins and Hagerty—A rattling bout, and
both best alternately. Seroggins drew plenty of applause,
but looked in vain for the coppers, which showered but
slowly, till Jack became an orator and left with half a hat
full. Harry Jones challenged Tom Reidie for 231., having
forfeited 101. to him a short time since from illness.
Reidie accepted the challenge, and will stake on Thursday,
at the Queen's Head, Lincoln's Inn-fields.

Tom Spring then took up the argument with Jem Burn.
They make a tine display, and had considerable difficulty
to make a hit, and tapping ensued for some minutes. Jem
however began to bustle, and Spring caught him a queer
one on the proboscis, which drew the liquor of life in
abundance. Tom Spring certainly deserves support at the
Castle as he never refuses it to his brothers at the Court.
Charley Jones and Mahoney then furnished a little amuse-
ment, and were loudly applauded, as they both sparred and
stopped well. Alec Reid returned thanks and complained
that they (the other party) had not let him know when
the fight was to take place ; the place, however, was well
known to his friends. The fancy deprted pretty well
pleased with the sports.
