BOSTON, j une 3.-A meeting OF rem
ans was held this afternoon, at the head
quarters, on Hanover street, which was
quite numerously attended. The
speaker made strong appeals for money,
asserting that volunteers were in alum
dance, but without liberal contribu-
| tons they could not be sent to the
front. About $1,000 in money was
raised.
CoRSwALL, C. W., June 3.-The Fe-
| mans are concentrating here in force.
No demonstrations have been made by
them yet.
MONTREAL, G. E., June 3.-Two regi-
ments of regulars and about 5000 volun-
teers, and three batteries ofartillery and
sixty field officers from the war sloop
| Pliades, now in the harbor here, lett
| here last night; and, a naval brigade to
| protect the Cornwall canal. A large
number of sailors are to follow. There
are two men-of-war on the way from
| Quebec 10 this city.
| New York, June 4.-The Fenian
army withdrew from Fort Erie early
yesterday morning, returning to the
American shore, IN the best way they
| could. Thirty-two of their number
were captured by the Canadians. Two
thousand Fenians are reported oppo-
site st. Johns, threatening Montreal,
and two or three thousand are near
Cornwall. Heavy reinforcements are
| hourly arriving at Montreal. Two Bril-
fish men-of-w war are en- route from Que
| bee for that point. The Fenian camps
| in the vicinity of Ogdensburg and st.
| Adams are quiet. Reinforcements are
arriving hourly.
The Collector ofthe Port of Ogdensburg
received instructions yesterday to pre-
vent any crossing to Canada. Every
effort is being made by the authorities
| to preserve neutrality. From every
part CT the country the Fenians are
moving for the border, notwithstand-
ing the disasters. Governor tenton
general government orders it. Gen
eral Sweeney left Albany yesterday for
| Pottsdnm. The sale of bonds at Rob-
erts' Headquarters was quite brisk
Yesterday. The news of the surrender
of Colonel O'Neill was not regarded as
| a disaster, and the movement of men
went on as briskly as ever.
BUFFALO, June ALI quiet on the
Niagara. The arms of the captured
Fenians are on board the Michigan.
Also their colors and those captured by
them at the battle of Ridgeway, which
the Canadians call Limestone Ridge.
Buffalo is filled with special reporters
from all parts of the country, but there
is absolutely nothing transpiring at
this point, The Express this morning
saws: While we had assuredly in this
city some two or three regiments of Fe-
mans, we'll armed, equipped and drilled,
and while liberal detachments have been
reaching here from abroad during the
past week, amounting tomore than an
other thousand, the whole augmented
army in the field only amounted to
about one thousand men. Where the
balance are il is difficult to understand.
1t is stated that among the three or four
thousand troops at Fort Erie yesterday,
not Catholic Irishman was to be found
al officer of the force was
Irish.
A gentleman just from the other side
| states to us positively that at the
battle of Ridgeway only four OF the
Canadian volunteers were Killed ana
about twenty-five wounded; three seri-
ousIy. The report in the papers that
tction-no such officer being with the
| force. In fact the only officers killed
or wounded on the British side, so far
as is known here. are Ensign McEash-
ern, killed, and Routb, of the 18th Ba-
tallion, seriously wounded. Lieuten-
ant Campbell had an arm broken by a
| bullet. Captain j. B. Bousted, of
| Toronto, the "Queens own" was not
dangerously wounded; Ensign Fabry,
leg broken, is doing we'll. General
Meade and U. S. District Attorney Dart,
! will arrive at Pottsdam by this noon,
and will look after General Sweeney
and his base of supplies. The report
that Head Center O'Day had been ar
rested on Canadian soil is untrue, but
he is not visible to the naked eye on
this side. A ridiculous rumor is pub
lished by the Post, of this city, that
Kingston had been captured.
| WATERTowN, N. Y, June 4.-Gener-
al Meade and staff passed here this
morning, en- roIte north. General
| Sweeney and one hundred and fifty
Fenians were on the same train. The
United States Marshall here, seized nine
| boxes of arms and accoutrementsI on
| Saturday evenings train. All IS quiet
north of Ogdensburg this morning.

patch OF last night says: The royal

Quebec with the Canadian Tooth, or
Prince of Wales regiment, together

Nj the threatened point. The Cana

| A special to the Herald from st. AL
bans, VT, the 18th, says another compa-
ny of United States artillery from Fort
Independence, arrived this morning
The United States authorities are using
every effort to preserve neutrality. Inc
Fenians are preparing for another
movement.

mond, dated 4tlI, says:
The village is filed with British vol
unteers. Reports are current of an eH-

18th Highlanders is located at st. Alex
ianCler, a short distance hence.

ment of the Fenian invasion has rapid
lly subsidized. Everywhere the exposed
points are all fully prepared for any

larity.
