tion, marching down the main road toward Fort
Erie, keeping close alongside on the Buffalo and
Lake Huron Railway.
"It was deemed certain that the main body of the in-
vaders under Col. O'Neill had evacuated Fort Erie, after
tearing up the railroad abut a mile above, and had started
for Chippewa, taking the North Western Md.lroad. Act-
ing on this supposition, the two battalions of regulars were
pushed forward in the direction of Fort brie as an advance
column, while the Volunteers, under the general command
of Col. Booker, protected their rear and kept open the line
of communication with Fart Colborne. On the arrival of
the advance of the leading column at Fort Eric, shortly
after daylight, it was found that' the snemy had evacuated
the place, but. that instead of having marched for Chippewa
they had made a feint movement in that direction, having
marched about four miles down the Chippewa road, and
then striking into a cross road cut through the limestone
ridge road leading into Ridgway. Orders were then sent
back by the officer in command of the regular forces to Col.
Booker to hold his command well in hand and pro-
ceed to Ridgway, where he was to take up position on the
ridge, and act entirely on the defensive. Meanwhile the
advance column was to retrace their steps, and attack
O'Neill in his rear. Acting on these orders Colonel
Booker pushed forward, expecting to reach the ridge at
eight o'clock, which he did, but not in time to take pos-
session of the coveted position, for the enemy bad reached
Hoffman's tavern just in time to seize the position before
the volunteers arrived. As the Queen's Own battalion de-
bouched into the plain, and were advancing towards the
position designated for them tooceupy, they were suddenly
met by a scattering fire from a clump of low bushes, which
was soon found to be the skirmish line of the force under
O'Neil. This upset all the preconcerted arrangements be-
tween the two columns of Canadian troops, and the Queen's
Own were compelled to take up a poor position behind a
fence exposed to a galling fire, the 13th Battalion advancing
rapidly to their support. All this time the enemy were con-
cealed in a small wood on the ridge. Before the volunteers
had fairly formed an ensign belonging to the first company
of the Queen's Own was killed by the enemy's skirmishers.
The order for an advance was then given by Col. Booker,
when three distinct charges were made by the volun-
teers, each being repulsed by the enemy, who then came
out for the first time and chargediupen the Canadians,
throwing them into considerable confusion, and causing the
order to retreat to be given. The invading force pursued
the Canadians about a mile, making, however, no decisive
demonstration. By this time the volunteers had reformed,
and fell back in good order on Port Colborne, the main body
reaching that place about half-past 11 o'clock.
The same messenger who carried Col. Booker his
orders also carried information from the officer in
command of the regular force to the effect that a
small body of Fenians were on an island in the
Niagara River, and were supposed to be fortifying.
He recommended that a tug be sent round from
Port Colborne, with whatever troops could be mus-
tered, and an attack made.
-
"His suggestion was acted upon, and the Danville Ar-
tillery, under Capt. Richard S. King, and the Port Col-
borne battery, Capt. L. M. Cullum, who were armed with
swords, bayonets, and muskets, were at once despatched in
the tug Robb, when the vessel ran round the coast, land-
ing the force about four miles below Fort Erie, on the
Canadian bank of the Niagara River. As soon as the com-
mand had disembarked they marched into the country,
meeting with no opposition. After a tiresome march of
nearly eight miles they came up with a straggling portion
of the enemy, who were engaged in plundering the coun-
try, and acting under the protection of an annexed force of
Fenians. A spirited attack was made, which resulted in
the capture of .66 of the invaders, and the little band of
Canadians, numbering little over 90 men, immediately
started 'for the tug with their prisoners. The guard of
Fenians, however, endeavoured to rescue their comrades
by making another attack, which was successfully repulsed,
and the affair would undoubtedly have proved a perfect
success had not about 20 of the Canadians become detached
from the main force, and were surrounded and captured.
Capt. King, in endeavouring to recapture them, received a
severe wound in the ankle, and was left on the field.' I
learn since my arrival here that he has been brought to
this city and the foot amputated. The Port Colborne
troops eventually reached their tug with all their prisoners,
arriving at the Port about 6 o'clock."

"From a cursory examination of these prisoners, 1 judge
them to be on a par with those brought into Port Colborne,
being a wretched-looking lot, 'totally deficient in uniform,
and composed of the roughest-looking specimens of
humanity. Some few of them.are dressed in Confederate
grey." •

The New York World publishes the following from
a Clifton, Canada West, correspondent, June 3 :
" After the close of the engagement, or rather series of
skirmishes, which were wonderfully exaggerated, that took
place yesterday, the Fenians began to retreat towards the
river, and although the forces under the command of Col,
Peacock were in position to intercept them, they succeeded
in reaching the bank, and quietly and leisurely crossed over
in canal boats about 3 o'clock this morning. It is reported
that the United States' steamer Champion assisted several
hundreds of them while crossing ; but the report needs
confirmation. The principal engagement took place at
Ridgway, a station on the Buffalo and Lake Huron Rail-
way, and began about 8 a.m. The Fenians abandoned the
fortification thrown up at Fort Erie, a point of no conse-
quence whatever, and took to the bush at this place, where
they were rather indiscreetly attacked by the Queen's Own,
of Toronto, and the 13th Battalion, strengthened by one or
two other corps, all raw and untried. After about an hour's
fighting, the volunteers, as they admit themselves, were
forced to retreat for want of ammunition, after suffering a
loss of about 50 killed and wounded. The Fenians did not
attempt to follow up this success, doubtless from the fact
that the regulars, under Colonel Peacock, were but a few
miles to their right, and might succeed in getting to their
rear. The whole of the fighting was done by the volun-
teers, and much dissatisfaction was expressed by them in
regard to the regulars. Colonel Peacock's command were
bivouacked within eight miles of the battlefield, from► 8
o'clock the previous night until after the termination of the
engagement, and it is difficult to account for his inactivity.
He Ntas surely not properly informed of what was going on.
Much praise is due and is given to the volunteers for their
gallant conduct during the day. They acquitted themselves
with great credit, and behaved like veterans. Some 40 or
50 Fenians wore captured, who will be properly attended
to. The Fenians on leaving marched a number of priso-
ners taken in a skirmish from Capt. King's corps, of Port
Robinson, down to the river, w here the colonel of the
Fenians affectionately bid them good by, with the assur-
ance that they would return in two weeks with a body of
20,000."

PROVIDENCE ROWOR NIGHT REFUGE,
F
HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN,
14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.O.
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, aro 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, refusedadmittance, 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 bread 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 be most welcome,
and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf
SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will be
grat2f ally received by the Rev, D. GILBERT D.D. No 22,

The obsequies of the Canadian volunteers slain
at the battle of Ridgway took place at Toronto
on the sth. Business was entirely suspended, and
the city draped in mourning.
The Buffalo Courier gives the following doubtful
list of Canadians killed and wounded in the engage-
ments :
"Lieut.-Cel. Beaumorth, killed; Capt. Richard S. King,
Port Colborne, Welland Battery, two wounds, in the ankle
and joint, since brought over to Buffalo and leg amputated
by Dr. Climer ; John Haverson, of Port Colborne, Welland
Battery, in the knee ; J. Bradley, Welltind Battery, in the
knee ; William Tavoy, of Toronto, wounded in tho knee;
Malcolm M'Eacherg, of Toronto, killed ; Chas. Lugsden, of
Toronto, mortally wounded; Corporal Newborn, of To-
ronto, killed; William H. Vandorsmissen, of Toronto,
through hip."
A Boston paper of the 6th says :
"The colours of the Queen's Own battalion, which were
captured by Colonel O'Neillin the engagement on Saturday,
aro now on board the Michigan. Colonel Lowery, of the
47611 Regulars (British), commanding at Fort Erie, visited
the cutter yesterday afternoon, and asked to have these
colours delivered up to him. Colonel O'Neill positively re-
fused to do so, claiming to have surrendered unconditionally
to the American forces, and that the colours are in the cus-
tody of General Barry, commanding the district of Ontario.
The colours are still in our possession. A request for the
surrender of the Fenians was refused. General Barry has
removed all restrictions on travel from this city to Fort
Erie,•the ferryboats now running regularly. The repairs on
the Lake Erie and Huron Railway aro in rapid progress,
and trains will, no doubt, begin running by to-morrow
forenoon. The English troops are quietly encamped in
tents at Fort Erie, and the smoke of their camp fire can
bo seen distinctly from this city."
On the 3d General Meade issued from Buffalo
strict orders to preserve the neutrality laws.
The Irish priests in Canada had appealed to
their congregations to resist the invaders.
Several of the Fenians shot at Fort Erie were re-
ported to be deserters.
It is stated in a Toronto despatch that Colonel
Booker, who commanded the volunteers at Lime-
stone Ridge, had been relieved from his command.
lie had offered his resignation, bait was not acted

At New York on the sth there was intense ex-
citement among the Fenians. A placard was pa-
raded in the streets which stated that 5,000 la-
bourers were wanted, transportation gratis.

The New York World of the 4th sums up the
Fenian " fizzle" as follows :
" The Fenian invasion of Canada has come to a speedy
and inglorious end. After a spirited and gallant fight on
Saturday, in Which the Fenians did no discredit to the
Irish reputation for uncalculating courage, they retreated
to the Niagara River before nightfall; made themselves
drunk by liquor taken on empty stomachs in the early part
o ; lost their resolution before morning ; at-
tempted to recross the American side ; and were captured
in the attempt by the United States authorities, in whose
custody they remain. The first act of this drama—conceived
in folly, displaying gallantry in its progress:--ends in a
fizzle, to be followed probably by a trao.edy."

Boman Catholic Education.

The following letter
has been addressed to the
Times :—" Sir,—your leading article of the 12th
June on Roman-Catholic Education is a proof that,
in our happier day, great questions,
religious and
social, have passed into a region
past
timesu. nlttrouunbegleduivboyeatiihye
polemical animosities of
asserts those great principles of justice and fair deal-
ing for which alone a Roman Catholic has a right to
contend. As to the matter of fact, especially as re-
gards education in workhouses, it demands that clear
_evidence should be produced. That evidence was
"produced by various speakers at the meeting of yes-
ttrday in St. James's-hall, especially Archbishop
Manning. At a time when the public 1=:: ninre 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-
densed 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, I am 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
1. As long ago as 1849 the Roman Catholic body
did what it could to correct an evil which exists
chiefly in consequence of mal-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 be 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.
2. Availing themselves of a law passed through
the efforts of Mr. Lyall in the year 1864 for the
certifying of Industrial Schools in connection with
the Poor-law Board, Lord Petre and others, acting
on behalf of the Roman Catholics of London, made
application to at least 12 London unions, request-
ing that the Roman Catholic children in their
workhouses might be sent to North Hyde or Nor-
wood, remaining, of course, subject to inspection.
The answer was a refusal. The documents are at
this moment in the keeping of the Poor-law Board.
3. A poor Roman Catholic woman, dying in
the prison of Milbank, made a written declaration,
attested by the prison authorities, constituting the
Hon. Mr. Charles Langdale the guardian of her
three children, in the hope of thus securing further
education in her own faith. After her death they
were placed in the workhouse. Mr. Langdale ap-
plied personally for the children, more than once
undertaking their charge on his own resources, and
engaging that they should remain open to inspec-
tion. The answer was a refusal.

" 4. In Aug., 1859, the Poor-law Board, which,
I believe, has acted with justice in the whole matter,
issued its celebrated " order," directing the masters
of workhouses, on the admission of orphans, to
ascertain, when possible, the religious creed pro-
fessed by their parents, enacting that no other creed
should be taught the children till they are 12 years
of age, and ordering, a thing of paramount im-
portance, that a " Creed Register" should be kept.
The Poor Law Guardians either refused to act on
this order or frustrated it by passive opposition. In
London, this course was taken, Ibelieve, universally,
although the law officers of the Crown expressed
their opinion that in issuing that order the Board
had not gone beyond its powers.
" 5. In 1861 Mr. Ewart moved for a return spe-
cifying the religion of the inmates of workhouses.
The Catholic children in the London workhouses
that return stated to be 382 in number. The Roman
Catholic clergy had, with all their efforts, succeeded
only in visiting 103. The remainder had been kept
from them.
" 6. But that return, as regards Roman Catholic
children, cannot possibly have recorded anything
like their real numbers. It shows thatin the metro-
politan workhouses the adult Roman Catholics are
to the adult Protestants as one in seven. There is
not the slightest reason to assume that among
children the populatio n of Roman Catholics is smaller.
Much more probably it is larger. Now, in 29 schools
(workhouse, separate, and district) the number of
children is returned as being 7,780. Reckoning the
Roman Catholic children as one-seventh of that
number, they must be more than 1,100, of whom
but 103 were visited by their clergy.
" 7. Roman Catholics,when they complain of this
wrong, are sometimes invited to name the children
whose positions they consider unjust. But their
specified complaint is that, while they have a thou-
sand means of knowing that the little captives exist,
all special knowledge is, as to individuals, in multi-
tudes of cases withheld from them by the perverse
but persevering ingenuity of guardians. Let a Creed
Register be kept, and the invitation need not be
made a second time. This is what the 'August or-
der' commands.
" 'B. All that is permitted is this—a visit' on
the part of the Roman Catholic priest in order to
give instruction' to any Roman Catholic in-
mate of a workhouse who may choose to send for
him. But who is there, Catholic or Protestant,
who does not know that thOse who most need the
services of a clergyman will often be the last to
send for him? What, then, is to be expected from
a frightened child surrounded by a large majority
who perhaps hold his faith in aversion ? Who is
ignorant that the casual visit' of a clergyman is

instruction,' if adequately given, is not education?
rtahnettetmeattatmme
Men, and yet more children, are made by habits,
not by maxims, or even catechisms ; and a child
must be brought up in a certain atmosphere of re-
ligion if his faith is to live. It is for this reason, no
doubt, that your article on Catholiceduheaavteiownorrkei
marked that if what has been stated can be proved
Roman Catholic pauper children
should
houses or schools of their own. This is not a mat-
ter for special pleading ; such clerical visits are a
farce. The Rev. Mr. M'Quoin writes to say that
he has, under many difficulties, been visiting at a
workhouse—that of Plasket—for eight years, once
a week ; and ends by stating that out of 14 chil-
dren of Roman Catholic parents four had just in-
formed him that the remaining ten had turned.'
The meaning of this turning' of children in a work-
house may be illustrated by the case of a little girl)
