THE CHOLERA.—The Lemberg Gazette says—
" We can affirm that hitherto no trace of the cholera
has appeared in Galicia, and that the general state of
health in the kingdom of Poland (except in the Rus-
sian Government of Kieu, where, however, it is on
the decline) has not given any reason to be appre-
hensive, nor has any precipitate precautionary mea-
sures been adopted.
MOSSUL, OCT. 31.—Just as we were thinking our-
selves safe, the cholera has broken out among us, and
the persons attacked have almost all immediately (lied.
The Pacha has at once forbidden the sale of fruit in
the barracks, and has removed the troops to some dis-
tance from the town, under tents. The appearance
of this pestilence fills all men with consternation,
especially as we have scarcely any medical men. In
fact, in Mossul itself, there are only two.
MUNICH.—THE Swiss FUGITIVES.—The King of
Bavaria has issued an order, that during the next
month collections shall be made in all the
Roman Catholic churches for the Swiss fog':
tives who have fled from the canton of Uri
or who have been expelled, as well as for the widoWS
and orphans of those who have fallen in battle.
RHENISH PROVINCES.—STATE OF THE WEATHE.
—The tributary streams of the Rhine have carried
such quantities of ice hither, that on the 19th De'
cember the bridge was carried away here. It is stated
that the communication between Cologne and Deutz
is to be kept up during the whole winter, by two
steamers.

tion in eating and drinking. In Taurus, where it
had again appeared, recent reports state that it had

DUBLIN, DEC. 24.—THE PROCLAMATIONS.—An
extraordinary edition of the Dublin Gazette, issued
this morning, contains copies of the proclamations
which were dispatched by last night's post to the
several' counties and districts which have been pro-
claimed in accordance with the provisions of the
newly-enacted Repression of Crime Bill. Means
have been taken to have the proclamations univer-
sally circulated by to-morrow morning, so that all
parties may have early notice of the intention of the
Executive to lose no time in carrying out the mea-
sure to its fullest extent. It is expected that another
proclamation calling in arms will shortly follow upon
the initiative step of yesterday.
Meanwhile few of the gentry seem disposed to
insitate the example of Sir Richard O'Donal, who,
despite threats and denunciations, continues at his
post, resolved to discharge the duties of a landlord
although his life should par the forfeit of his temerity.
A letter from Cavan, published in the Mail of this
• evening, thus refers to the flight of another resident
proprietor :
• " Mr. William Humphreys, of Ballyhaise-house,
and all his family, passed through this town to day on
their way to Dublin, there to remain until this reign
of terror is put an end to. This gentleman enjoys a
noble fortune—resided constantly on his estate—spent
. his entire income in works of usefulness—kept some
hundreds of labourers in constant employment—sold
off his hounds and hunters last year, and dedicated
the expense of this part of his establishment to the
use of the poor—aud devoted his entire time to the
labours of the relief committee during the period of
• famine. His lady, with her own hand, fed the hungry
•--clothed the naked—educated the children of the
poor—clothed and fed them—gave them constant re-
•munerative employment—and had them taught in
knitting, spinning, and needlework. Her kindness to
the poor around her knew no bounds. What has been
the reward conferred by a grateful people on these
amiable persons ? Why, just this :—They were
escorted by a large body of constabulary from their
own house for several miles, on their route to a place
of safety. I have heard that it is Mr. Humphreys's
intention to discharge every person at present in his
employment ; in fact, to stop all works going on upon
his demesne."
