Extract of a letter from an Officer in the ^.9th'Regiment, dated
Quebec, 14th December, 1826: " The 79th gave a splendid entcr-
tainment to Lord DALHOUSI/4 and the principal Scotsmen% Quebec,
on St. Andrew's day. We had everything Scotch that could he
thought of—cockyleeky, haggis, sheep head, oat cake, and excel-
knt Highland whiskey, which was drank, by way of dram, out of
a sinter quaigh. Our pipers gave us several reels. However, the
great attraction of the day was old ,Serjeant TMOMSUX, in his 95th
year, and who was Gen.Woera's orderly at the battle fought with
the French near this place in 1759. Serjeant Tinam.ou was born
in Ross-shire, and is a must wonderful man at his time of life. lie
is employed in the Ordnance Department, and attended this office
daily, and prefets this to enjoying his pension without working for
It. lam told he regularly dinis once a year at Lord Damieustes.
At our dinner his Lordship proposed his health, and said he had
worn the kilt before any one in the tress-room was born. We
cheered Serjeant MORISON 7, be rose and said, with a firmness and
distinctness which surprised every one, ' Your Lordship's good
health, and the Honourable Corps of Highlanders.' He pressed
one of the bagpipes to his bosom, and shortly went away, his feel-
ings getting the better of him. He served in the old 78th, or
Fraser's Highlanders, which Corps and our own are the only two
that have worn the kilt in Quebec.

An elegant Entertainment was given at the Colony
House, Demerara, on Friday evening, the Bth December last, by
a select party of Gentlemen, to the Officers of the 27th Enniskillens,
as a token of their esteem and good will at parting. The guests
assembled about nine o'clock, and dancing commenced at a little
before ten, and was kept up with spirit until an advanced hour.—
This distinguished Regiment has been stationed in that Colony
nearly three years, during which both Officers and privates have
been on the most friendly footing with the inhabitants.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SPARRING AT THE TENNIS COURT.

Jem Ward, whose claim to the Championship of England seems
to be still undisputed, took a benefit yesterday. The setting-to was
excellent, and the business done promises additional sport for the
Fancy.
Jem Ward and Jem Bums closed the games, by an admirable
set-to, in which the improvement of Burns, both as to person and
science, was strongly demonstrated.
Ward then announced his anxious wish to make a match with
any man in England, for any sum front one to three hundred
pounds; but more especially with Crawley, or Big Brown. He
knee, Brown had said that he would not fight fur less than five
hundred pounds; although upon what principle he fixed that price
on his talent, he could not divine. His friends were ready to back
him against Brown for three hundred, and if any other sporting man
would stand two hundred with him, as a bet, he would meet
Brown on his own terms, for there was no man is England whom
' he would sooner fight—(Cheers.) In conclusion, ke thanked the
Court for their kind support.
Harry Holt appeared on the part of Brown, and said he was
authorised to make a match with any man in England for him for
5001. but not for less—(cries of—He does not want to fight at all !)
That he dces mean to fight (said Harry), the best proof is, that I
will match hint for 5001. I agree that any man who means to
claim the Championship ought to fight for any stAte. from one hunt
dred upwards, though not fur less; but as Brown will not come
down in his terms, it only remains for Ward to meet him ; and as
Ward's merits were well known, it was to be hoped patrons enough
of the London Ring would he found to back him against the well-
breeched champion of Bridgnorth—(Applause).
Gy axerrs AND Raciest Maatex.—Gybletts, in the course of the
sports, announced that his money was ready to make a match with
.Reuben Marten, for 501. a side, and a place of meeting was forth.
with settled for arranging the preliminaries.
Cutting AND O'Nitai.—.The third deposit for this fight was made
good Last night at the Half Moon Tap, Leadenhall-market. O'Neal
was, present, but Cannon remained in close training at Staines,where
be will have the honour of being "at home to his friends" over .
an " out-and-out" good dinner.—Betting 7 to 4 on O'Neal.
New Marcm—Samuel Lbrkins was last night matched against
William Abbott, to fight within so miles of London, for 501. a side.

In the course of last we k the inhabitants of Deal
subscribed upwar'ds of one hundred pounds, for the immediate re-
lief of the poor, chums the late inclement season.

COURT OP CHANCEWT, Pi& 4.

- '
The LORD CHANCELLOR vas occupies.' with business
in his ptivate room till nearly eleven o'clock. Oo coming
into Court he proceeded to give judgment in several
cites which had been appointed for this morning.
wassiaee 111/ ♦ WA ID IN CHANCINIT.NAN N. INCUMNION.
His LORDSHIP. in reference to this case, said, I have
looked over the Master's report, and find that the young'
Lady for whose marriage the consent of the Court s
now sought, has, both in possession and from tutu*
expectations, a considerable fortune. It was stated to
me, that the Gentleman was a surgeon, and I see no
reason for thinking otherwise than that be is a persoti
of great respectability. It was also further stated to
me, that his father intended to take him into partner-
ship ; but all I can find is, that the young man is to be
taken into partnership some time or other. This "softie
time or other" is, however, an extremely vague anti
undefined period; and I cannot help thinking that the
father, if he wishes his ion to enter into partnership
with this young Lady, ought not to postpone his son's
partnership with himself to some time or other, but
should admit him into it without delay. If, therefore,'
he will take his son into partnership immediately, I hire
no objection to the marriage of these young people.
Mr. Wocorino—As boom as we have heard freak Ow cersatry,
we wilt communicate the result to your Lordship.
The LORD Camicestoft.—litis young Lad' has a
♦ery good fortune, and if the young man Were taken
into partnership with his father, I should be disposed to
relax some of the conditions by which it has been fet-
tered in the settlement which has been shewn to the
court; because it has always appeared to me extremely
desirable so to arrange the- fortune, that the parties
might have an opportunity of disposing of it in a man-
lier which would best suit their mutual benefit alter
ritatriage.
