—The Government of Ontairo are preparing for a big reid on the Dominion Treasury ; andthe Toronto Globe says the Domiuion Government must grant no further demands of the Maritime Provin- ces unless they are prepared to give dollar for dvilar to Odatario.

Sergeant Allan’s Reminisences.

It is, of course, pleasing to the gallant old soldier to fight his battles over again, and the larger the audience to see and hear him do it the better. Sergeant-Major Allan must have been highly pleased and gratified last evening. The number of | those present in the Y. M. C. Hall was greater than at any previous lecture; and as the gallant Sergeant-Major delivered his ‘round unvarnished tale,” the closest and most appreciative attention was paid to what he said. Lieut.-Col. Beer, ocenpied the chair; and the large detachment of our Orty Militia, in uniform, made the gather- ing quite bright and military in its appear- edce, Sergeent Ailan briefly dercribed in his own inimitable ways, the battle sieges and fortunes in which he took part from the time he enlis'ed in the famous 20th regiment of Royal Pasiliers uantit the close of the Crimean war. Some of the pictures he drew were relastic, toa ghastly degree, of the horrors of war; others were highly amusing; and the tenor of the whole lecture was to show that our troops in the Crimea suffered as much on account of the mismanagement of their leaders as from

frequently applauded. Charles Palmer, Esq , woved a vote of thanks which was! seconded by Judge Reddin, and passed | unanimously. It was pleasing to see the | band of the 82nd Battalion with their pew instruments, aud to hear their sweet music | before and after the discourse.

A Noxrta Lake correspondent writes ;— “The long locked for trot between Mr. D. Mefonis’ Zain, and Me Kennedy's Happy | Jack, came off on North Lake onthe 16:h inst.
