than 455 poor, friendless, young females were rejected trom
want of FUNDS and room, making a total of 3,087, who have
been sent away in five years.
The new home the Committee wish to form would be for

Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the
destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the
nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches.
At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor
from all parts aro admitted, the only condition being that
they are homeless and ,starving. The Manager &c.,
receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young women, children, and orphans
are, for want accommodation, refusedadmitta,nce, andhave
to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To
meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda-
tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the
work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required.
Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it
is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur-
pose will allow, to give broad and coals to poor families
in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and
accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give
shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really
starving ? The smallest donation will he most welcome,

TEETH. AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.--
The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all
deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETII are of
vital importance from availing themselves of the services of
a dentist. In t. practice founded n 1830, and now ex ending
over greater pt, -t of the kingdom, an experience• unequalled
has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi-
tive sufferer a 'tem of dentistry perfect In its absolute
freedom from pain, a speciltte pertaining only to our prac-
tice, and fo• whica .• •r Majesty has granted her royal letters
patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all
stumps, however decayed, Zhe supporting instead of extrac-
tion of loose teeth until they occome firm and useful in mas-
tication, and he utter absence of all and every operation, so
that the most. nervous person can be supplied without lea of
pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur-
able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced.
Consultation free. Teeth from ba. Sets from p to 25 gs.,
warranted.

The Fenian Raid into Canada.

O

NEW YORK, June 2.

The following are the despatches and particulars
received here respecting the Fenian raid into
Canada :

" TORONTO, CAN,., Friday, June 1.

" At 6 o'clock this morning startling intelligence
reached this city that the Fenians, GOO strong, com-
menced crossing at Fort Erie at 3 o'clock by means
of canal boats and a steam tug, and by 5 o'clock
were all safely landed and in possession of Fort Eric,
which was evacuated by the look-out party, two of
whom were captured. They immediately, on land-
ing, hoisted a large green flag, and beneath its folds
gave lusty cheers for the Irish Republic. The in-
vaders cut the telegraph wire to prevent communi-
cation with the interior, not only at Fort Erie, but
aGtratlniedbTrriudngke,omfriqc-iiicallis,, however,he a
ppirsoasteihllof
th e intact.F e aThens,
ran off four locomotives and all the rolling stock
they could get hold of. The intelligence was pub-
lished here at 7 o'clock, and created the wildest ex-
citement among the citizens and troops, who were
just embarking for Port Colburne as the news was
read. The bulletin boards of the newspaper offices
are surrounded by an eager crowd, and the most
intense excitement is prevalent among the people.
The military authorities at once seemed to arise to
meet the emergency, and in a few minutes the
streets were covered with uniformed and armed men
hurrying to the general rendezvous for orders. The
47th Regulars leave this morning, as well as de-
tachments from other commands. It is said that
some of the artillery will also leave for the Niagara
frontier, and that the cadets of the Military School
will be brigaded with the 476. The cadets con-
tain many ex-soldiers of the United States army,
who are delighted at the prospect of again taking
the field. A despatch just received announces a
collection of Fenians at St. Albans, moving on Mon-
treal. Tire general impression is that Fort Erie is
merely occupied as a feint to cover a land invasion
by Ogdensburg or St. Albans, and a naval advance
from Chicago upon the western frontier. American
neutrality is severely censured, and people declare
that the Government is in collusion with the
Fenians. General Napier and his staff are very ac-
tive, and great enthusiasm existed among the troops
when they left by the boat. Many hundred citi-
zens bade the men good-bye on the deck amid loud
and enthusiastic cheers. The mail and other boats
on the lakes will be used to ship troops. Report
says that the entire volunteer force of the country
will at once take the field. A despatch says a large
body left Buffalo via the river road, marching on
Clifton, this morning. Refugees from Fort Erie
report the burning of Lovewine's-bridge of the
Grand Trunk Railroad, five miles west of Fort
Erie. A despatch from Prescott reports the Fenians
collecting at Ogdensburg, and the people expected
some kind of an attack to-night. Three regiments
from Montreal go to the Lower Canada frontier."
4, ELMIRA, N.Y., Friday, June 1.
" The sth Maryland Cavalry Regiment and part
of the Fenian army of invasion, under command of
Colonel Dennis Donahue, passed through this city
to-day, en route to Ogdensburg.
number 60
men. While waiting for the eastern train they fell
to fighting among themselves at the depot. No
deadly weapons of any kind were used. Many had
their heads damaged, and blood ran freely. Dlost
of them are young men, and many were in the
rebel army during the war. They had with them
six cases of muskets and eight boxes of rations and
ammunition, marked ' H. D. Markley, Potsdam,
St. Lawrence Co.' They were very enthusiastic and
sanguine of success. A report from Corning says
that 600 Fenians passed through that village to-day,
en route to Buffalo. The news from Canada created
much excitement among the Fenians here."
" SUSPENSION-BRIDGE, Friday, June 1.
" At midnight last night the authorities of Clif-
ton, opposite here, were advised by telegram from
the United States district attorney at Buffalo that
the Fenians were on the move. Later intelligence

talons of artillery arrived from Hamilton, being
disposed for active service. The alarm is very ge-
neral along the river. Families are flying to this
side by every possible conveyance; The rumours
that the Fenians are at Chippewa are unfounded.
All was quiet there except the scare of the people.
No Fenians were within nine miles of there.
Another rumour was prevalent in Canada that the
United States forces had arrived at Buffalo, which
had a tranquillisingeffect. Great confidence is mani-

festal in the disposition of the United States autho-
rities. The people are confident they will be able
to take care of the force now on Canadian soil, pro- i
vided no reinforcements are received. The impres-
sion prevails among the most intelligent people that
this movement is merely a feint to cover a more de-
termined movement elsewhere, probably on the line
of the St. Lawrence. Canadian troops are now
stationed all along the river to prevent the crossing
of reinforcements. Suspension-bridge is strongly
guarded, and careful scrutiny made of all passen-
gers. There is no possible chance of any successful
issue of this invasion. Had the Fenians improved
their opportunity this morning they might have
possessed themselves of the entire Canadian side of
the river from Fort Erie to Ontario. It is now too
late ; they cannot retreat without a fight. There
will,probably be an engagement to-morrow morn-
ing Motile Canadian officers manifest any enterprise."
" TORONTO, C.W., May 31, 10 a.m.
" About 4 p.m. yesterday it was telegraphed from
Buffalo to this city that bodies of Fenians were
gathering there, and that they meditated a sudden
attack upon the province at points along the
Niagara. With this also came the news that the
manager of the Great Western Railroad had been
requested to stop trains going to the bridge. This
looked like a fight on the part of the Fenians, and
Caused a little pleasant excitement in thiS city.
Night came on, and nothing was added to the
news. Men gathered in groups to laugh over the
news and discuss the chances of a fight ; and some,
believing that time was everything with the Fenians,
and that, therefore, they would act quickly,
gave their opinion that it was possible those mis-
guided men would cross the Niagara at the break
of this day, but the left bank is still free of them.
Early to-day Lieut. -C 01. Durie, Assistant Adjutant-
General to the volunteer force here, received a tele-
gram directing him to have all the force in readi-
ness for permanent duty. This is all that has been
done so far. The Government is said to be fully
aware of the intentions of the enemy, but whether it
knows the points of attack or inroad remains to be
seen. There is no alarm here, for the cry of wolf'
has been so often raised that men do not believe in
his coming. Trains are running to the bridge as
usual, but all the surplus rolling stock is being sent
to Hamilton, that it may not be seized by a sudden
raid of the enemy lurking about Niagara."

A mass of bewildering and contradictory rumours,
wild as the projects and speeches of the Fenians
themselves, have reached the New York Times, and
other journals, which have just come to hand. The
American papers head these telegrams characteristic-
ally as " Despatches from everywhere, telling all
sorts of stories," and " Despatches from everywhere
contradicting all those previously sent ;" while the
final summary of the New York Times is headed
" Nothing done yet, but great things going to be
done." This may excuse us from trying the reader's
patience with four or five columns of ridiculous
despatches, of which the editor says, " Any effort
to put them into intelligible shape or coherence
would be waste of time. There isacarcely an asser-
tion which is not speedily contradicted by another
equally positive, so that the perplexed reader is left
in a state of dazed dubiousness little short of in-
sanity." As this is not a desirable state for English
newspaper readers, we shall merely quote the most
prominent rumours. From Buffalo, on June 1, they
telegraphed that "Fort Erie, in Canada, has been
captured by the Fenians, 3,000 strong, and 2,000
are marching unopposed through the interior."
From St. Albans we learn of the arrival there of
500 Fenians. Another telegram of June 1, from
Cincinnati, furnishes supplies and munitions of
war :

Cincinnati, Friday, Juno 1.

. _ .
450,000 rounds of ammunition were shipped from this
place to New York, and 150,000 to Chicago, and 80,000
muskets to Buffalo, within a few days, which it is reported
were intended for the Fenian.

Boston, Friday, Juno 1.

The newly-raised Fenian cavalry regiment, under com-
mand of Colonel Icontoi, late of Mosby's guerillas, is a part
of the expedition from this city.

The Fenians say that General Fitzhugh Lee will com-
mand the cavalry wing of their army of invasion.
They further say that the blow will be struck early next
week, probably on Monday.
Buffalo, N.Y., Friday, Juno 1.
It is reported here that the Fenians have captured
Sarnia and Windsor.

Toronto, C.W., Friday, June 1.
Thero is not a word of truth in the reported capture of
Sarnia and Windsor by the Fenians. Everything is quiet
in those places.

The military authorities here are on the alert, and troops
are moving to the exposed points.

Boston, Friday, June 1.
In addition to the Fenian cavalry regiment, the Third
Fenian Infantry, Colonel Conner, 1,200 strong, have left
this city for the Canada border.. Transportation for the
cavalry regiment was paid through to St. Albans by a
citizon of Boston.

Detachments of United States troops from Fort Warren
and Independence, also from Fort Preble, aro under orders
to leave for the northern frontier.

Toronto, Friday, Juno 1.
The Fenians have evacuated Fort Erie, and are moving
up towards Chippewa.

Elmira, N.Y., Friday, June 1.
Sixty Fenians, en route to Buffalo, passed through this
city to-day. They had nothing with them but havresacks.
They got into a free fight in the rear of tho depot beforo
starting.

Boston, Friday, June 1.

Major "Mahan, who served during the war itt the 9th
Massachusetts Regiment, has been commissioned a briga-

They then moved down the Niagara River towards
Chippewa, halting at this place, where rumours prevailed
during the forenoon of the advance of Canadian troops.
Breastworks have been hastily constructed,. and at this
hour reports of the Canadian advance are regarded as so
important that drums are beating to arms and troops as-
sembling in line of battle. Shots are heard in the distance.
A man just come in wounded in the leg.
Skirmishers are pushing to the front. Flankirg columns
are moving out at the double-quick, and every preparation
is being made for an engagement expected upon a doubtful
rumour.
The American shore is lined with spectators. Crowded
tugs and small boats are flying up and down the river.
There is tremendous excitement all along the frontier, but
no measures have been taken to prevent communication
between the two sides.
Fenians and strangers are crossing and re-crossing the
Niagara-in skiffs. Canadian families are fleeing as from
the wrath to come.

The United States steamer Michigan lies at Black Rock,
opposite and in full view of the Fenian lines. Her gun;
firing a salute for General Scott this forenoon, frightened
the Canadians for a time out of their wits.
The Fenians are thoroughly armed, but ununiformed and
lacking supplies.

There are rumours of another crossing of Niagara with
artillery to-night.
Fenian movements will probably be decided to-night.
There are rumours that the Fenian are now crossing
the St. Lawrence.
Two telegrams received thi4 morning, one dated ten
o'clock, Windsor, the other at Detroit, state there are no
Fenian movements at those points, and the stories current
all day of a crossing effected under fire aro without foun-
dation.

The position the invading army occupies at present is as
follows : —Colonel O'Neill, who is in command, is stationed
at Negliggen's farm, near Fort Erie. With him are the
Thirteenth Regiment -of Tennessee, Colonel O'Neill
Seventeenth Regiment of Kentucky, Colonel • Starr;
Eighteenth Regiment of Ohio, Colonel J. Sewel ; Seventh
Regiment of Buffalo, Colonel Hay ; and a detachment
from Indiana.

Fort Erie is a village of 200 inhabitants, opposite Black
Rock, and is entirely unfortified.

It is said that the Irish along the Canadian border are
flocking in large numbers around the green flag, but from
this side the task of going over is a difficult one. The
Americans conipel all boats to come to.

All reports of attack on Chippewa or other islands are
without foundation. About five p.m. a detachment of 300
men, under Colonel gay, moved down the river towards
Chippewa, below which place,a bridge is said to have been
burned this day. The object of this movement is unk-nown
unless it be for the purpose of intercepting -British troops,
1,500 of whom are said to have just arrived at the Suspen-
sion-bridge.

An attack by morning is certain, and the result is
anxiously looked for. At the highest computation there are
not more than 1,300 Fenians, and no artillery is visible, if
they possess it.

All through the day scouting parties have been arriving
at the camp with provisions and horses. Colonel O'Neill
returned a horse to Mrs. Douglass on being told she was a
widow woman, as well as sixteen to the Niagara-street
Railroad Company.

From later accounts the Fenian army is said to be pre-
paring to move into the interior.

General Sweeney is not here. It would seem that the
present movement was an independent one.

Chicago, Friday, June 1.
Sweeney's advance is received with joy. Ten thousand
people were congregated in council in a few hours of ter re-
ceiving notice, and pledged themselves to support the
Irish army. General Lynch and staff passed through this
morning.

Suspension-bridge, Mount Eagle House,
Friday, June 1.

There is a report here, well authenticated, that 1,500
Fenians crossed at Buffalo last night to threaten Fort Erie,
and in default of a supply of rations to burn the place.
Tho fort surrendered.
Six or seven miles of the Grand Trunk Railroad was
destroyed.

The Fenian are supposed to be moving towards St.
Catharine's.
Groat alarm exists in Canada.
Montreal, Friday, Jane 1, 8.30 p.m.

_ .
I have received a telegram from Ottowa, stating that
Government has been informed that 6,000 Fenians are
marching from Fort Erie to Fort Colborn, for the purpose
of destroying the locks of the Welland Canal. They will
be encountered to-morrow by troops and a battery of Arm-
strong guns, under Col. Peacock.
The eastern frontier is strengthened to-day, although the
movements there are regarded as feints. Plundering and
burning are marking the tracks of the invaders. The Reeve
of Fort Erie is reported to have been shot by Fenians while
reading the Riot Act- The Government officials say they
are kept well informed of all the Fenian movements. The
troops from this city left this evening, apparently with much
enthusiasm, and threatening to give no quarter.
Albany, Friday, June 1.
There are many rumours afloat here respecting the Fenidla
movement on the frontier, but nothing has yet been heard
at the Executive Department or by the Adjutant-General.
Montreal, Friday, June 1.
Reports have just reached us that a large body of Fenians
have seized the arms at Rouse's Point, and are now march-
ing on the British fort at Isle tin' Noix. About 300 men
reached St. Albans this morning. Two large bodies of
troops are now leaving—one to reinforce the garrison at
Isle aux Noix, and the other that of St. John's. The
Fenians have burnt a bridge at Fort Erie, and cut four of
the telegraph wires there. Many exciting rumours are
flying about Toga.
The Government has just received information that the
United States gunboat Michigan has intercepted reinforce-
ments to the Fenians, and landed at Fort Erie this morning.
Those who have lauded are marching pell-mell towards
Chippewa, about four miles from Niagara. Troops from
Hamilton are marching to capture them. Four hundred
more Fenians have arrived at St. Albans since this morn-
ing. A battery of Armstrong guns and two wings of the
25th and 30th Regiments, in addition to those mentioned
in my telegram of one p.m., will leave in an hour to meet
them.

THE LIFEBOATS ON THE IHIgH COAST.—The
National Lifeboat Institution has just sent a fine now 32
feet ten-oared lifeboat to Skerries, near Dublin, in lieu of
the boat previously on that station. Last week the insti-
tution also forwarded a new boat to Wexford. The cost
of that lifeboat was collected among gentlemen connected
with the Civil Service of the Crown, through the exertions
of Mr. James A. Dow and Mr. Malcolm Goldsmith, of the
Admiralty. The institution has now 28 lifeboats on the
Irish coast, on which it has expended about £14,000.

in the domestic affairs of foreign countries. Never-
theless Courts which participated in the acts consti-
tuting the Germanic Confederation were entitled to
examine whether the changes asked for were not
calculated to compromise the established order of
Europe.
" So far as we are concerned, we should have de-
sired for the secondary States of the Confederation
more intimate union, a more powerful organisation,
a more important part—(applause) for Prussia
greater homogeneity and strength in the North; for
Austria the maintenance of her great position in
Germany. (' Very good.')
. "We should further have wished that Austria
could have ceded Venetia to Italy in exchange for
an equitable compensation (' Verygood, very good')
—for if, in concert with Prussia, and without heed-
ing the treaty of 1852, she waged war upon Den-
mark in the name of the German nationality, it
appeared to me just that she should recognise the
same principle in Italy, as completing the indepen-
dence of the Peninsula. (Applause.)
" Such are the ideas we should have endeavoured
to promote in the interest of the repose of Europe.
It is to ba feared, now that the fate of arms alone
will decide, in face of these eventualities, what is the
attitude suitable to France.

" Ought we to manifest displeasure because Ger-
many finds the treaties of 1815 powerless to satisfy.
her national tendencies and to maintain her tran-
quillity ?

" In the war upon the point of breaking out we
have only two interests—the preservation of the
European equilibrium, and the maintenance of the
work we have contributed to build up in Italy.
(` Very good, very good.')
" But does not the moral force of France suffice
to preserve those two interests? Will she be obliged
to draw the sword to make her voice heard ? I do
not think so. (Fresh marks of assent.)
".If, despite our efforts, the hopes of peace are not
realised, we are nevertheless assured by the declara-
tions of the Courts engaged in the struggle, that,
whatever may be the results of the war, none of the
questions affecting us will be settled without the
consent of France. (' Very good, very good.')
" Let us remain, therefore, in a -watchful neu-
trality, and strong in our disinterestedness, animated
by the sincere desire of seeing the peoples of Europe
forget their quarrels and unite in the pursuit of
civilisation, liberty, and progress, let us remain con-
fident in our right and calm in our strength. (Pro-
longed applause.)

44 NAPOLEON."

Royal Geographical Society.

An ordinary meeting of this society was held on Monday
evening in Burlington House. Sir Roderick Murchison,
who was in the chair, announced that the Duke of Edin-
burgh had that day been elected a fellow of the society,
and he made some remarks on the fitness of his royal high-
ness, as a great traveller, to become one of their members.
Among the other gentlemen announced as having been
elected fellows was Mr. Charles Kean.

Mr. MARKIIAM read a paper on the clearing away of
forests on the hills in the south-west of India, and on the
effects produced thereby in dessicating the interior parts
of the country. He stated that the mountain range which
forms the backbone of that portion of India, rising to a
height of 6,000 feet, arrests the clouds blown from the
western ocean by the monsoon, and that there is, in con-
sequence, an abundant rainfall during those months,
amounting in some places to as much as 200 inches. The
mountains were formerly covered with forests, which, as
Mr. Markham observed, diminished the evaporation, and,
by retaining the moisture, diminished the dessication
during the dry season ; but, latterly, the forests have
been to a great extent cleared away for the cultivation
of coffee, tea, and of the ehincona tree, and the effect is
becoming very sensibly felt by diminishing the quantity of
water and increasing the necessity for irrigation. The sur-
face that has been deforested was stated to be eqiial to the
whole extent of Ireland ; and Mr. Markham pointed out
the importance of compensating for the loss of the mois-

In the discussion of the paper, Sir WM. DENISON, Go-
vernor of Madras, confirmed the statements
of Mr. MarkVernor for many yearsh
am,
whom
he complimented for having in-
troduced the cultivation
of the ehincona tree into the

western parts of India, which, in the course of time,

constructing reservoirs for the purpose of irrigation. Mr.
Craw furd denied that the clearing away of trees would
increase the amount of evaporation, and he instanced
i
Java as being without forests, and yet possessing a suffi-
ciency of moisture. Sir Henry Ravvlinson, on the contra,
adduced the plans of Mesopotamia and parts of Persia rjars
instances of countries that had been reduced from a state
of luxuriant fertility to barren deserts by the clearing away
of the forests that once covered them. Sir Roderia Mur-
chison adverted to the geological character of the moun-
tains iu the southwest of India. Ile said that the gneiss
rock of which they are composed was among the oldest of
the geological series, and that, from its hard structure, the
rain would drain off it rapidly. •
A second paper, by Colonel SEELE, was then read, "On
Medimval Travellers to China," in which he had collected
from the writings of old travellers variousthaeflcmit:nr:s
