TLere is a very decided change of opinion in the Canadian press in re'ation to the contest now being waged in the neigh- bouring States, The Toronto Globe, which, perhaps, of all the Canedian press sympathized most strongly with the North, gives the feilowing reason for the change of tone:

The insolent bravado ef the Northern press towards Great Britsin, and the insn!ting tone assumed towards these Pro- vinces, have unquestionably produced a maiked change in the feeiiugs of our people. Wien the war commenced, there was only one feeling of hearty sympathy with the North, but now it is very diZ-rent. People have lost sight of the charveter of the struggle in the exasperation exeiied by the injustice and abuse s.owered upon them by the party with | Wiieh they sympathized. | rintain cord’al sympathy towards those who are pouring in- sults continually up » you.

Anotoen Barrie— Repose or tus Regets.—There wa- fanother battle op the night of the [¥h, at 12 o’clock, between a kedersl force, 250 strong, consisting of the 22d Lilimois re gin ment, under Col. Dougherty, accompan'ed by Lieut. Col. Raw- son, of the 11d Liiacis regiment, The rebel force is estinuted at 600 to 700, commanded by Col. Hunter, of Jf. Taompson’s army. The Feleral troops were victorious, routing the enemy, killing 40 and taking 17 presoners, Our loss was one kilied. Capt. Nolerman, with 80 monnted men, left Bird’s Point at 6 o'clock on the 19th for Coarleston to jein the forces under Col They met a party of

| vernment of the Colony; of every circumstance connected

'with the dismissal of the late Ministry, and dissolution of

the House of Assembly ; and, above all, of the causes which

iled io the riots aud loss of life during and after the late Elections.’

Such an inquiry, [ earnestly hope, will take place, for in ‘my Opinion the time has arrived when the events which have ‘occurred in Newfoundland ought to be brought under the notice and consideration of the Crown and the Imperia! | Parliament.

D.ctor Dalton, whose name is also affixed to the Petition, is fully aware that the riots, disturbances, and destruction of

property, at Iiarbor Grace, in his Diocese, have been carried ,to a fearful extent during the years 1859-60-61, and, I am

It is not in human nature long to | sure, he ought to be as anxious as [ am for an investigation, |

_particulariy when [ state that at a meeting of the late Execu- | tive Council, held on the 30th October, 1860, they having | been, during Mr. Kent's administration, informed by Mr. | Pinsent and the other Magistrates that a much greater -amouut of riot and intimidation would be resorted to than at the former Election, unless the Distriet be protected by a | Military force, resolved that it was their ‘ full determination to use all the authority they possessed to secure to the con- stituency of tlarbor Grace the free exercise of the fran- chise,’ and requested the Governor ‘ to command all the force at bis disposal to secure so invaluable a privilege and to pre- serve the peace of the District.’

Cxnada have received orders from the Home authorities |‘ fu!l investigacion of my conduct since I assumed the Go-!_ jf tho rent is reserved in sterling, the price of the

Besides, those people /who pay the high rents—from 2s. to 3s. an acre, ho'd very short leases, the terms specified varying from 21 to 40 years. According to Mr. Howe's statement of the award,these people are entirely cut off from the enjoyment of any benefit which the Commission might confer. Ie stated that the award was not intended to affect the properties of those Jandlords whe issued leases under and up to 40 years. There are many such tenants on the property owned by the heirs of the late Hoa. D. MeDonald,and on the property owned by Mr. Douso. The award will be a blank to them—they must jog on in the old way, and do the best they can for themselves in their dealings
