Foreign Summary.

2 tralasian that the hopes entertained tbs
0 the cholera would be confined to the basi

S appointed. 1t has made its appearance

] can get away. At MsrseilIes the NOR
tally has been largely in excess Of tn
; first accounts and it has now appeare'
at Toulon, where its ravages are consid
, cradle. With the southeastern seaboar'
, OF France thus infected, il is feared tha
its passage to England is only question
of time, and the apprehensions which
we're quieted when il was believed TO b'
retiring eastward are now revived wher
the epidemic is found to be steadily di'
recting its course to the west.
The cattle plague RACES with diminish
ed fury in Great Britain and on the con
tinent of Europe. Lord Granville los
l29 out $50 of his milk cattle kept at g
farm near London. The nature of the
disease is monopolizing much attention
but the general opinion is that it is atmos
pheric and of typhoid character. The
iron-water cure spoken of as having been
so effectua in Russia has been exploded
All public traffic in the skins of diseased
animals is prohibited and warnings gen.
orally held out to parties in charge o.
them to manipulate diseased cattle as lit.
as possible.
The following, coming as il does from
the New York correspondent OF the Lon
don Times, is rather Unexpectedly truth
fnl:
at has been alleged that the Federals
retaliated upon Confederate prisoners
How is it that if they did there is not
one word of evidence extant in proof OF
II ! How Is 1t that not complaint was
ever made by Confederate prisoner of
his treatment? With reference to the
assertion that 'Confederates lay rotting
on Johnsop's Island il may be sufficient
TO say that not one particle of proof is
offered in support Of the statement, and
that Lieutenant General Hooker, who
was in charge of The department in which
Johnson's Island was, assures me that
he personally saw that the prisoners were
well housed, well fed and we'll clothed !;
and he challenges any one to produce an
atom of evidence TO the contrary. AS
sertion against assertion, the word of the
officer in command must be as weighty,
one would suppose, as that Of an officer
who spoke from hear.sy, and who never
visited Johnson's Island. AS to the proof,
it is all on one side 10 this affair.""
Statements W b reference TO the
Fenian movements continue to excite
the public Of England, and to interest
the authorities. II seems generally to
be admitted that matters are fast APP
preaching climax, There is no doubt
of the truth of the reports of the great
numbers and bolduess of the organized
bodies of Fenians A correspondent of
Sanders News Letter, Dublin paper,
says:
"Snce the termination Of the Ameri-
can war every steamship which arrives
off Cork Harbor, on her bomeward voy-
age from New York or Boston, lands Oh
these shores large numbers of young
men, who had served in the Republican
army, who carry revolver pistols, rifed
guns, daggers, ard short swords, which
they openly expose in their perambula-
tions through the city of Cork. Those
arrivals are ever ready to intrude their
conversation on all with whom they meet,
Boosting of the preparations making in
America by the Fenian Brotherhood for
TIE invasion of Ireland"
The country papers in Ireland con-
tain the most exciting reports from A
merica relative to the action about to
be pursued by the Fenians here. An
extract from enc letter is published stat
ing that the writer, in concert with a
great many deliverers of Ireland, would
reach that country almost as soon as the
letter would be delivered. There is no
doubt whatever that much needless ex-
element exists as TO the immediate de-
signs of the Fenians in Ireland, and
much less question concerning the fool
ishness of believing the reports said To-
have come from America.
THE PIRATE SEMMEs.-A correspon

is travelling down South, met the pirate
