New YORK, June 1.-The cholera,
which is now spreading among the
passengers of the steamers Union and
Peruvian, appears to be of a very
severe type; but the facts will be bet
ter known in day or two. The re-
port of Dr. Bissell, Deputy Health
Officer, at quarantine, dated yesterss
day, 31st ult., says that, since the
Peruvian's report, the admissions to
the hospital ship had been thirty, and
the deaths ten. Seven of the persons
who died were from the Union, and
three from the Peruvian We learn
that the reports of cholera in this
city published in the morning journals
are without foundation. vT

NEW YORK, June 1.-Itis stated at
the Fenian headquarters in this city
that the commander of the expedition
against Canada just undertaken, is
Col O'Neil, of Nashville, Tennessee.
The Fenian circles ramify to all the
Provinces, and are understood to be
acting in concert with their brethren
on the American side. This, it is
supposed, will tend to overthrow the
confidence of the authorities in any
endeavor to resist invaders by the aid
of the militia. As for regular troops,
there are but six thousand Of them, of
whom large proportion are in full
sympathy and fellowship with the
| Fenians. There is therefore reason,
according to official authorities here,
to anticipate an early uprising of the
Canadian population, and the frater-
nizing of the Brotherhood of the
British soldiers with the people, as in
the days of the Broicades in Paris.
It is also claimed that not only the
Irish inhabitants of the Provinces,
but the French Canadians, are con
nected with this conspiracy, and will,
at the proper time, add their co-opera-
ton. 1t is possible, therefore, that
this occupation of Fort Erie is but an
attempt to direct attention, while a
blow more decisive will be struck at a
more vital point of the British en-
pire in North America. In that
event we may expect to see the
| lower st. Lawrence responding at an
early day to the call of the Fehians
& SYRACUSE, IN. Y., June !. Quite a
number of Fenians, last evening and
this morning, some bound East and
some West, officers connected with
the movement, are busily engaged
forwarding more men. Quite an ex-
citement prevails here.
