Colonel Stone, that Major McFarland, who Their loss was variously stated, but prob- iwas sent to cover their retreatddeclored ably did not exceed four hundred of all l that he would have resigned his commission ranks. On the other hand, General Riall lost upwards of five hundred, of whom two fifths were killed or missing. Of nineteen officers of the 100th who went into the action, fourteen were killed or disabled, with one hundred and ninety non-commis- sioned officers and men. The seven companies of the Royals suffered still more severely, eleven officers and two hundred and seven rank and file being returned as killed, wounded and mis- sing. Altogether these two battalions lost four hundred and twenty-two officers and men out of a total of only nine hundred and fifty - and on the whole, Riall’s force was 5 reduced by more than one-third. Two days later the British general was compelled to destrcy his works and abandon his position upon the left bank of the Chip. awa in conseqn -.- -.- of a turning moment irected against his right flank. The re- doubt at Queenston was likewise evacuated, and he leisurely retired upon Fort George. He had already been deserted by nearly the whole of his Indians, and by many of the militia, who were alarmed for safety of their families. The invading forces ad- vanced to the summit of Queeiistun Heights, whence they menaced the British position. Here they remained perfectly inactive for several days. On the night of the 12th Major Evans advanced with Sad~ leir’s company of the 8th, numbering only thirty-four rank and file, to reconnoitre prisoners. His retreat was intercepted by General Swift, of New York Militia, with one hundred and twenty volunteers, who was also upon a scouting expedition, and a sliar skirmish took place, in which Evans lost six men and the American leader Was killed. The movements of his opponent next morning led Riall to believe that an at- tempt would be made upon the depot at Bur- lington, and having increased the garrison of the three forts at the mouth of the river to 1,554 efl‘cctives, he resumed his retreat to- wards the head of the lake with only :36 officers and men of all arms, while the Americans at Qiieenston were firing minute guns for their dead general. The same day Colonel Henry Scott advanced from Burling- ton with six hundred of the 103rd, leaving the two boy-companies and some invalids and militia in garrison there, and joined Riall at the Twenty Mile Creek, where the united force oncamped upon the heights. The prospect of a successful defence of the forts if resolutely attacked was not great. Fort George possessed no means of resisting an assault beyond a. single bad row of pickets, and certainly could not have re- pelled the force under General Brown’s com- mand had he ventured to attack it. The others could then be easily reduced in suc- cession by bombardment. For more than a week Brown lingered upon the brow of Queenston “mountain,” gazing anxiously out; upon the blue waters of the lake below in the vain hope of catching a glimpse of Chauncey’s squadron speeding to his assistance. From time to time his columns wound down into the plain and crept with- in distant cannon-shot of the batteries of Fort George, and as often retircghto their tents again without accomplishing anything. During all this time they did not even suc- ceed in establishing an effective blockade of the British works. Upon one occasion two British field-guns gslloped out of Fort George and shelled their rear-guard, and the same day five of their cavalry vidcttes were surprised and carried off by militia lurking in the woods along their line of march. The women and children in the farm houses and fields by the wayside conspired to mislead and halllo the detachments sent in pursuit. Meanwhile a levy en. masse of the militia from Long Point to the Bay of Quinte had been proclaimed, and in a few days Riall was joined by upwards of a thousand men of different battalions, “ many of them fine serviceable fellows,” but badly armed and undisciplined. A goodly number of these marched in from the London district. Those who had temporarily deserted him rapidly recovered from their panic, and a coiisulerahle number of stragglers was cut 011‘ by them in the vicinity of Queenston and St. Davids, and many descrtcrs were brought into the British lines. On the other hand, the course of the American militia and Indians was marked by pillage and rapine. “ The whole population is against us," wrote Major McFarland of the 23rd U. S. Infantry. “ Not a foraging arty goes out but is fired on, and frequent- y returns with diminished numbers. This state was to have been anticipated. The} militia and Indians have plundered and burnt everything." Willcocks’ battalion of Canadian refugees seized the opportunity of I wreaking summary vengeance upon their loyalist enemies. Old men and boys wore gent as prisoners to the United States, and women maltreated. iieforo crossing the river, Gen. Brown - had intimated that he expected to be in a position to invest Forts George and Missas- sauga on the 10th of July. This engage- ment he might have fulfilled to an hour had I if the commanding officer had not been dis missed from the service. Having been joined by several companies of the Gleugarry Light Infantry from York under the ever-active Fitzgibbou, Riall ad- vanced the same day to» Ten Mile Creek with his left wing, composed of militia and Indians, extending as far as DeCew’s Falls, and menacing the rear of the American posi- tion by way of Lnudy’s Lane. The entire male population immediately flew to arms, and jotned him, actuated by a spirit of in- tenso hostility towards the invaders. His scouts found their way into St. Davids, Queenston, and even Chippewa, harassing the enemy’s pickets, and picking up strag- glers. His apprehensions were, however, at the same time, aroused by mysterious negotiations on the part of his Indians with their kinsmen in the American service, and a raid from Detroit upon the defenceless settlement at Port Talbot, which was ruth- lessly destroyed, compelled him to detach the Oxford battalion of militia and some Indians in that direction, as a precautionary measure. On the 20th, leaving about 300 men in possession of the abandoned redoubt on Queenston Heights, Brown advanc- _ed with the remainder of his army within two miles of Fort George, where he encamped and began to collect materials for siege batteries. He appears to have entertained the hope that by this movement, the British commander their outposts, in the hope of taking a few might be induced to hazard another engage- ment with inferior numbers, to relieve the garrison. Two days later, Riall succeeded in concentrating in advance of Twelve Mile Creek, 1,700 regular troops, including the Gleugarry Light Infantry and incorporated Militia, 700 Lincoln Militia and an equal number of Indians, in readiness to pounce upon the flank and rear of his adversary should he attempt the actual investment of the forts. Fort George was at the 'same time garrisoned by4000fhe Royal Scots and 260 of the 100th, Fort Missassuaga by 290 of the 3th, a company of negro volunteers, and a few artillerymen and artificcrs, mak- ing an aggregate of 400 persons, while Fort Niagara was occupied by 550 men of the 4lst, and fifty artillerymen. Nearly one- fourth of the garrison were, however, upon the sick list, and many others too young to be of much service. It was ascertained that; General Brown had been joined by considerable reinforce- ments since the action at Chippewa, and that he brought over nearly the whole of his supplies from Lewiston, where he had col- lected many boats, thus avoiding the neces- sity of preserving an uninterrupted line of communications with Fort Erie. Recon- noitring the same afternoon, with thirty picked men, Captain Fitzgibbon obtained an excellent view of his entire army spread out in the plain below, from the summit of Queenston Heights. As he watched their movements, their tents were struck, and their retiring columns filled the roads, extending from De I’uisaye’s hous‘ within cannon-shot of Fort Georgee without a. break to the village of Queenston, a distance of more than five miles. Lingering too long in his covert, lie was discovered by their light troops, and hotly pursued-almost to the the British out;- posts upon the Ten Mile Creek. That night the American army again encamped at Queeuston and the British advance-guard was pushed forward to Four Mile Creek. The next morning General Brown receiv- ed a despatch from Sackett’s Harbor, in- forming him that the American squadron was still closely blockaded there, and he immediately retired behind the Chippewa. Relinquishing all hopes of co-operation on the part of the fleet, he describes his inton- tions to have been to discncnmber his army of all unnecessary baggage, and having lull- ed his antagonist’s suspicions by his retro- grade movement, to makc,a rapid march upon Burlington. He entertained no doubt of his ability to cope with the British army in the field and to march in any direction through the country, but based his hopes of reducing the forts entirely on the arrival of Chauncey’s squadron with heavy artillery. Unfortunately for the suc- cess of his plan, Sir Gotdon Drummond arrived the same day at York. bringing with him from Kingston 400 of the second battalion of the 89th, under that sturdy soldier, Colonel Joseph \Varton Morrison, who had won the hard-fought battle at Chrystler's Farm the autumn before. The two flank companies of the 104th, complet- ed by volunteers to the number of sixty rank and file each, had already been sent forward to strengthen Riall, under the com. mand of their fiery-hearted Lieutenant. Colonel, his nephew, “'illiiiiii Drummond. Further reinforcements, consisting of the Regiment De \Vatteville and detachments of other corps were likewise on the way from Kingston, leaving that important post al- most without s. garrison. One of Drummond’s first acts was to order the discharge of all the very young, as well as the old and weakly militiamen, with the double object of relieving the the American fleet been in sight. Contrary ’ strain upon his supply of provisions, and to the advice of his engineer officers, be setting them at liberty to gather their hay. deemed it necessary to wait for siege-guns, and wrote an urgent despatch to hasten their arrival.

He was then in his iorty-third year, an active, brave, resolute, and skilful soldier, who had seen war in Egypt, Holland, and the “'est Indies, dur- ug a quarter of a. century of military life. ' When he arrived in the mouth of the river at daybreak next morning, he learned that the situation had materially changed. I General Brown had retired to Chippawa, ed, for the purpose of watching his move- ments and picking up stragglers. His en- tire division was immediately placed under arms, and General Scott. with his own bri- gade, accompanied by Towson’s company of artillery with three guns and the whole body of cavalry and mounted rifleinen, was directed to march upon Queenston, and if he encountered the enemy in force, to re- port the faet at once, when he would be supported by the entire division. Near Table Rock there stood a small tav- and Riall had taken advantage of this fact em kept by a Mrs. “'ilsou, which had .35. to push forward this brigade of light troops the night before, to seize the important strategic position near Niagara Falls com- mandiug the junction of Luiidy’s Lane with the Portage Road, with the intention of supporting it that morning with the whole of his division. At nightfall on the 24th, the disposition of the British forces was the following:â€"The First Brigade, Colonel Henry Scott commanding, composed ofa de« tachment of the 19th Light Dragoons. half a. battalion of the 8th, and seven companies of the 103rd, with two 6-pound field-guns, lay at Twelve Mile Creek; the ‘Second Brigade, Lieut.-Colonel Tucker, consist- ing of half a battalion of the Royal Scots, half a battalion of the 8th, the second battalion of the 4151:, and a wing of the 100th, with a detachment of Royal Artillery in charge of two Ell-pound and two 6-pound field-pieces, occupied the mouth of the river, and bald just been joined by Colonel Morrison with his detachment of the 89th ; the Third, or Light Brigade, Licut.-Col. Pearson, was made up of a troop of the 19th, Major Lisle, the light companies of the 3th and lO3rd, the Glengarry Light Infantry, and the incorporated Militia, en- camped at Four Mile Creek ; the Fourth Brigade, Lieut. Col. Parry, consisting of three battalions of embodied militia, and a. body of Indians, formed the right wing of the British line, stretching along the Twelve Mile Creek as far as Dech’s Falls, while the flank and four battalion companies of the Royal Tcots,and fourbattolions of embodied militia, with three 6-pounders and a howit- zer were held in reserve under Lieut.-Col. John Gordon. This seems a. formidable. force on paper, but the Royals, Sth, and 100th, weremere skeleton battalions. The latter could muster but one captain, three subal- terns and 250 effective men, while the others were very little stronger. The militia regi- ments wero'wcak in numbers, and miserably armed and equipped. On the evening of the 23rd the whole of General Brown’s army once more encamped in the plain between Street's Creek and the Chippewa, but a battalion of riflemen and a. regiment; of militia were still posted on Lewiston Heights, having their pickets ad- vanced as far as Youngstown. Their prin- cipal magazine of supplies had however, been removed to Schlosser. At midnight Colonel Pearson received crders to advance with his brigade, number- ing about 800 of all ranks, and by seven o’clock on the morning of the 25th he had taken possession of the high ground at Lundy’s Lane without encountering the slightest opposition. At; the same time instructions had been issued to Colonel Scott to move upon the same point from Twelve Mile Creek at three in the morning, but these orders were subsequently count- ermunded, and his brigade remained in their quarters until afternoon. In the course of the morning Riall rode forward, accom- panied only by Lieut.-Col. Druinmond and a small escort, and joined Pearson. These movements induced an immediate change in Drummond’s plan of operations. Colonel Morrison, with the 89th, a. detach- ment of the Royals, Lieut. Hemphill, and one of the 8th, Captain Campbell, with two 24-pound brass field-pieces, Lieut. Tomkins, was directed to march by way of Quecnston to the support of General Riall at Lundy’s Lane, while Limit-Col. Tucker, with 500 men of the Royals and 4lst, and Some In- dians, advanced along the other bank upon Lewiston, accompanied upon the river by a number of boats manned by seamen under Captain Alexander Dobbs. Tucker's col- iiinu arrived at Lewiston about noon, and drove out the garrison after a trifling skir~ mish, capturinga hundred tents and asmall quantity of other stores. The light company of the 4lst and the detachment of the Royals were then brought over to Ouceiiston and added to Morrison’s column, increasing it to about 800 officers and men. After a brief halt, the march was resum- ed, and towards six o'clock a dragoon rode up in haste to meet General Drummond, who was near the rear of the column, and still several miles from his destination, young man; “that is what]. mean bearing a message from Riall, stating that the enemy was advancing in great force against his position. Upon receiving this alarming intelligence, the general rode rapidly forward, and on reaching Lundy’s Lane, to his intense surprise and disappoint. coped the generalldevastation of the frontier. As the head of Scott’s column approached this house, several British officers were ob- served to come out and mount their horses. Some of them instantly galloped off and dis~ appeared behind the belt of woods beyond, but one elderly man halted in the middle of the road, and coolly surveyed their moveâ€" ments until they came within musket-shot, when he saluted a party of American officers riding in front, and rode rapidly after his companions. 'lhey found the landlady ner- vous, but communicative. She expressed her regret; that they had not. advanced with greater speed, as they iright h we easily ' captured the whole of her late guests, and estimated General Riull’s force, which she ; described very circumstantially, at double its actual strength. The sound of many bugles was heard in and beyond the woods, and Scott at once despatched a staff-officer to demand reinforcements. The remainder of the American army being already under arms, it was immediately put in motion. The exact strength of Brown's division at that date is difficult to ascertain. Ho ad- mitted the loss of 320 officers and men in the action at Chippewa, but it has been stated to have been considerably greater by a. friendly writer. Fort-y or fifty more had been killed or taken in skirmishes since : a small garrison had been left as Fort Erie, and a detachment sent to Schlosser. He had been three weeks in Canada, and his force must have been somewhat reduced by the disease and fatigue incident to a campaign in the field. His regular regiments had been considerably diminished by desertiou, no less than six deserters having come into the British lines in a. single day, while his militia had probably suffered in a. still great- er degree from the same cause. He distinct- ly stated that the whole of his Indians had left him. (To BE CONTINUED.) Canadian Bosses in England. The following extract from the London Daily Graphic will be read with interest: “ At a time when Canada is ask- ing the mother country to consider the question of a preferential tai‘ifi‘for Canadian exports, it; may be of interest to know that one export from the Dominion to England is increasing and thriving. It is horseflesh, the market for which in the United States has been closed to Canadians by the Me- Kinley tariff impost of 30 per cent. on the declared value. It now pays better to ex- port the horses to England, where, although the cost of collecting the horses and of bringing them over is considerable, the very good prices paid for them makes it fairly worth the while of the importer. The horses which pay the importer best are heavy draught horses, but those imported by Mr. R. W. Ffolkes, ofActon, and which are for the main part hacks and carriage horses, realize very good prices. At the last sale, which was the sixth, the prices averaged £65, and the highest price realized was 160 guineas. Among the horses sold by Mr. Ffolkes yesterday Were : Florence, a bay mare, sold for 75 guineas ; Emperor, a black gelding sixteen hands high, for 80 guineas; Tom and Jerry , brown goldings, a. pair of well-matched carriage horses, for 140 guineas ; and Boston, bay gelding, for 110 guineas. The horses are farm bred, and are bred generally from English sires.” â€" w W Badly Tangled. “ Chi-chi-children,” began a. timid young man, who had just been appointed superin- tendent of the Sunday-school, “of course you are all familiar with thestory of the swallow that wliuled J onaliâ€"-erâ€"-er~-f mean the swalc that wallowed J onahâ€"-â€"erâ€"â€"erâ€"â€"thut is, the whale that Jonahedâ€"umâ€"umâ€"the Jollow that wouahed the swaleâ€"I meanâ€"erâ€"the jail that swallowed wonaliâ€"erâ€"erâ€"gugâ€" gugâ€"” (chokes). “ I presume, brother Sims," said one of the teachers kindly, “ you mean the Jonah that swallowed theâ€"erâ€"erâ€" that isâ€"â€"-” , “ Ye-yes, sir,” responded the timid .n .

A quite thrilling incident occurred on the straight stretch of line of the New York d: New Jersey railroad, the other afternoon. As a passenger train was roceoding at full speed a 16-year-old girl 1e t her half dozen companions in the roadway that runs near the track and stepped quickly in front of the locomotive, which was not more than '300 feet away. She was laughing defiantly, facing the l locomotive, standing fairly between the l rails, and the engineer know that she was bent upon mischief and not upon suicide. He made the passengers jump on their seats with the blood-curdliug whistle that he sent out of his engine, but the girl between the rails snapped her fingers and danced derisively. The engineer had to stop the train or rim over her. Of the two evils he chose the one be supposed to be the least. His fire- man did not agree with him, but there was no time to argue the point. When the locomotive washrought to a standstill its pilot was hardly 5 feet from the girl’s skirts. “ I told them you’d have to stop," she said. “ I knew you duren’t run over me.” Then she laughed and run after her companions.
