" The Fenian invasion of Canada has come to a speedy

Saturday, in which the Fenians did no discredit to the
Irish reputation for uncalculating courage, they retreated

to alonethe
re-
gards education in workhouses, it demands that clear
evidence should be produced. That
evidence wad
produced by various speakers at the meeting of yes-
terday in St. James's-hall, especially by Archbishop
Manning. At a time when the public is more than
usually occupied by important questions, foreign and
domestic, it was but natural that his speech, which
was reported very impartially and correctly by the
Times, should also have been reported very briefly.
That speech, however, presents in the most con
deused form the evidence which your article de-
manded ; and his argument being a cumulative one
its force depends mainly on its continuity. I shall
not, therefore, lain sure, appeal in vain to your justice
if I ask permission to recapitulate, in the fewest
words possible, the chief of the facts to which he re-
ferred. The public once convinced that a real and
deep injustice exists, we shall not have long to wait
for a remedy ; and the State, which intends what is
right in this matter, will take care that its enact-
ments are not any longer eluded. The facts to
which I have alluded (selected out of many more,
and authenticated by Parliamentary returns) are
the following :—•
" 'l. As longago as 1849 theßoman Catholicbody
did what it could to correct an evil which -exists
chiefly in consequence of anal-administration. Mr'
Stokes, on the part of the late Cardinal Wiseman,
applied to the guardians of the Marylebone work-
house for permission to send the Roman Catholic
children in that workhouse either to the Roman
Catholic orphanage of North Hyde or that of Nor-
wood, engaging that they should he supported there
with no further workhouse aid than that of a capi-
tation grant, and that they should remain subject to
inspection. The answer was that the law did not
permit of such an arrangement. On being asked
what law prevented it, the guardians replied,
through their secretary, that they had no further
answer to give. They admitted that they had 56
children born of Roman Catholic parents. Now,
let us come to the last five or-six years.
