"Oa Thursday morning, the Bth inat., we started from

800 yards from the fort, Noe. 7 sad 8 were sent up to Briga-
dier-General Welpole in front of the guns, and were ordered
by him to skirmish without rapport, and to advance till they
cams within right of the gate olthe fort, and to open fire. It
was supposed by those concerned that this movement was for
the pmpar of preventing the rebels in the fort from escaping
by gets rsistrild to, and that Major Wilkinson would
make an attack on the weak wand and that the rebels, driven
before him, would naturally think of leaving the fon by the
gate. Acting on this supposition, Captain Grove, of No. 8,
adored his nom to fix bayonets, so sa to be ready to reedy,
the robed should they attempt to bolt by the way egenified.

The 42nd, who, along with the Pettier's, had bents the
brunt of the hostile are, had 42 killed and wounded ; two
gallant young officers mortally wounded, Lied/ear C.
Douglas and Alfred Jenkins Bromley ; one odlow overtly,
Lieutenant Cockburn. ; seven non-commiseloned oaken
and men killed in salon ; 32 non-oonimisekeed officers
and men more or lees wounded, two of tree
wounded soldiers since died of their wounds. The
93rd Highlanders had a low men wounded and the
79th also • few. Lieutenant Harrin=if Major Rem-
mington's Troop of Brill Horse l was severely
wounded by a masked bell. Only think of t, these brave
fellows kaled, all these bear fellows wounded, and for
nothing, nothing achieved by it, nothing gained by it, the
fort and the enemy abandoned se we found them.
" Next morning the fort wee cleared out (not by es,
for they did not 'glee us another chary, but by themselves) ;
they bad bolted during the stillness and &rimer of the night.
It was perfeap es well that they did go. Perhaps if
they had stood, and we had gate at ft, it would
have been in the manner of the pored* day and with
the err expenditure of British blood. I may it was
&obliges as well that they didn't stick to their post, for
we know that there are persons, seen In the British army
who won't be advised, who won't era learn by experience.

was • few more such men se Mr. Bowyer to have both very
soon in fall sad most useful operation. (Cheers.) He wished
that gestleman health, long lite, and promerity to complete
that invaluable task which he had so nobly and so sumer-
toll_y begun. (Loud cheers.)
The UKAIRNIAN IA proposing prosperity to the institu-
don, stated that although the present was the first anniver-
sary dinner the institution had been upwards of five years
in extreme and bad been gradually improving, and extend-
ing rtes sphtire of usefulness every year sines Its first estab-
liAmseet. The average annual number of Marta was 110.

sums/ to him a most ex • fact that sen
me @tilde 200 regularly corresponded with Mr. Bowyer and
W caws, and not one of these men had failed in his
new field of exertion. (Loud cheers.) Then was only one
drawback to this ntocesa, and that was that the sabscrip-
tion list was by no means adequate to the expenditure. The
subscriptions were about 3001, while the expenses exceeded
8,0001.; and the oily way in which the balance was kept
was by the magnificent list of donations last year (2,6001.) •
but notwithstanding which the Institution was 081 to debt'.
He Mold that, on the present 0001111i015, this defect would to
a rest Went be remedied. The reformatory movement
had mile pregmes during the last few years but the
only Oleg was that the public had been even so
len in becoming asavbced of its reality. They had seemed
to think it was fronded on some recondite theory,
instead of the dm* maxim of "Train up a child, he."
