THE CHOLERA AT LIVERPOOL.

FCRTHER DEATHS AMONG GERMAN EMIGRANTS.
(From the Liripuol Mercury of this day.)
_ _ .

•
The news received from the Helvetia yesterday
is, we regret to say, not of a reassuring character.
Ti. frightful disease appears still to linger among
the unfortunate German emigrants, and seems to
hide the skill of the medical men to eradicate
it Late on Monday night Mr. Carr, the governor
of the workhouse, received information that three more
deaths had occurred among the emigrants on board the
Jessie Munn, the ship lashed alongside the Helvetia for the
reception of cholera patients, and that the bodies were re-
quired to be brought on shore. Mr. Carr at once directed
that the hearse should be in readiness to meet the tender ;
sad at '2 o'clock the bodies were brought on shore and
transferred to Walton for interment. The three persona—
s man, Rolltall, awl child—who have succumbed to the
disease are Germans. Yesterday afternoon information
was given to the parochial authorities that another
German emigrant had died on board the Jessie Munn.
There are now three Germans on board the Jessie Munn
suffering from cholera. They are in charge of the nurses
tent from the workhouse ; but we understand that Dr
Trench has intimated that there is a great want of addi-
tional medical aid. The crew and officers seemed to
be panic-struck, and in consequence considerable diffi-
culty is found iu dealing with the COWS under treatment.
In view of this state of affairs, Mr. Carr offered the assis-
tance of eight men from the workhouse, who at once
volunteered to go on board the Jessie Munn to render
what assistance they could in carrying the sick, kc., and
helping to disinfect the Helvetia. These volunteers
went on board last night.
Arrangements have been made for the reception of those
German emigrants who are well, and who were on board
the Helvetia at the emigration depot at Birkenhead. The
work of cleansing and fumigating the Helvetia will be com-
menced to-day (Wednesday).
A number of Germans still continue at the workhouse ;
and we regret to say that, notwithstanding the precautions
which have been taken, cholera has broken out amongst
them. Several lodging-houses in the town resorted to by
Gemians are still very much crowded. The health officers
are keeping a strict supervision over them, and in many
caseswhere more than the proper number is located steps
we being taken to clear the houses.
Large numbers of German emigrants still continue to
arrive in town. On Monday night 191 Germane arrived at
Lime-street station from Hamburg, ria Hull, and late the
same night about 300 arrived at Tithebarn-street station
from the same places.

" I have reason to believe," writes the Paris
carrespondent of the Times, "that the ministers had not
%fly knowledge of what the Emperor was going to say to
the labourers of Auxerre, and that they are as much taken
bI surprise as the public at large. Twice on Thursday
evening the Emperor had an account given to him by a
coaidential person of the manner in which M. Thiers's
'Patch was received in the Legislative Corps ; and he was
Particular in inquiring as to whether those who applauded
were the majority. He could hardly believe it when as-
'end repeatedly that the house was unanimous in its ap-
Probation. He remained silent for some minutes as if in
reverie, and then abruptly dismissed his attendant with
the words, ' Raison de plus, raison de plus.' He spent the
rest of the night walking up and down his room, or writ-
-14, and did not retire to repose till long after daybreak.'
