dated November 80. 1865, containing the fol-
lowing account of the rise, progress, and dis
appearance of the cholera at that port Cholera
first appeared on the 10th day Of October, and
was doubtless introduced by an arrival from
Paris, where the disease was at its height, of
about nine hundred German emeigrants on
their way to New York. There were about
fifty deaths from cholera at Havre, principally
among the poorer classes in the environs
During the last ten days Of November not a
single case had been reported, and the chief
health officer pronounced the city free from all
contagious disease, and had been instructed to
delirer clean bills of health to vessels leaving
that port

THE FENIAN FUND.-The balance sheet Of
the books of the "Irish Republic" showing
the receipts OF the Fenian Brotherhood from
all sources during the month ending October
2S, just published in the New York papers,
causes no little surprise, as indicating the enor-
nous strength of the organization in the United
States, and even in the British Provinces.
1t nils about six newspaper columns, in
small type, and foots up by the hundreds OF
thousands. Not one in thousand Of the best
informed among our citizens had any idea Of
the extent OF this Fenian movement, and it has
suddenly acquired in the eyes of many, a dig.
nifty which it never before possessed. The re.
ceipts from some cities are very large.
For instance, among the credits to various
Circles in Chicago are the following. for the
month ending October 18th District $1,000;
Twenty first District, $1,000; Chicago District,
5000; Malloy, $780, Chicago District $4,000;
and, altogether, the annual receipts from this
one city cannot be less than one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. But the feature of this
exhibit which creates so much talk is the re-
turn from the British Provinces. With q eau
ton, the necessity Of which is evident, the
names Of those through whom the money was
transmitted are omitted. Among the items are
