THE CHOLERA AT LIVERPOOL.-MORE DEATHS.

Notwithstanding that every possible measure had
been adopted to prevent the further outbreak of cholera on
board the hospital ship Jessie Munn, to which vessel •
portion of the Helvetia apassengers had been transferred,
three more deaths have taken place on board the Jessie
Munn. As soon as the cases were reported to the work-
house officials the bodies were removed to the landing
stage, where they were placed in a hearse and conveyed at
once to the cemetery at Walton for interment. On Tuesday
evening three more cases broke out on board the same ship,
and Dr. Trench, the medical officer of health for the borough,
is of opinion that additional medical aid is required, and
adds that the crew and officers on board the ship are
almost paralysed with fear. Several extra nurses and four
men have consequently been despatched from the work-
house to the infected vessels. The work of fumigating the
Helvetia still goes on, and a large number of the beds have
been destroyed. The healthy Germans who have been re-
moved to thegovernmen t emigration elieds atHirkenhead con-
tinue well. On Tuesday night in order to prevent overcrowd-
ing in the German lodging-houses, 200 German emigrants
were conveyed to the workhouse, where they were accom-
modated for the night, and yesterday morning they went
away.

-
Later advice' state that about ten o'clock yesterday
morning application was made for twenty additional beds
for the Jessie Munn, as several fresh cases had broken out,
one of which terminated fatally in the course of the day,
while one or two were notexpected to survive the night. In
spite of every effort to prevent it, cholera has broken out in
the depot at Birkenhead, and yesterday afternoon three of
the German emigrants at that place were attacked with the
disease, and its reported that one of them, a female, is in
a most critical oondition. Several mime and some me-
dical gentlemen were at once sent from Liverpool to the
depot at Birkenhead.
A German lodging-house-keeper, named Fould, was
yesterday tined by the local magistrates 20a. and costa for
having an improper number of emigrants in his house.

THE HEALTH OF LONDON. —lt appears from the
return issued by authority of the Registrar-General that in
the week that ended on Saturday, May 5, the births re- I
gistered in London and twelve other urge towns of the
United Kingdom were 4,351 ; the deaths regi.tered, 3,416. I
The annual rate of mortality was 29 per 1,000 persons
living. In London the births of 1,003 boys and 099 girls,
in all 2,062 children, were registered in the week. In the
corresponding weeks of ten years 1856-65 the average I
number, corrected for increase of population, was 2,074.
The deaths registered in London during the week were
It was the eighteenth week of the year ; and the
average number of deaths for that week was, with a
correction for increase of population, 1,322. The actual
return exceeds the estimated number by 223. Whooping-
cough was very fatal ; the deaths by it rose to 113. This
complaint carried off 10 children in Islington. There
were 4 deaths from whooping-cough in the sub-district of
St. Mary, Paddington, 4 in that of Kensington-town,
4 in Kentish-town, 4 in St. James', Clerkenwell, sub-

Gloucester-court, Mile-end Ohl-town, the daughter of a
sugar-baker, aged 5 years, died " suddenly of English
I cholera." (Inquest).
LICENSED V tirry•LLEn.s. ASYLUM.—The annual
festival of the friends and supporters of this valuable and
highly successful institution took place yesterday after-
! noon, at the Crystal Palae.•, when about 1,600 of the
members of the association dined together, under the pre-
I sidency of Mr. J. Foster, of the firm of Foster and Sons,
export merchants. Mr. B. Lee Guinness, M.P., was to
have taken the chair, but unfortunately was prevented
from doing so in consequence of ill-health. After
the usual loyal and patriotic toasts the chairman,
in giving the toast of the evening, " Success to the Licensed
Victuallers' Asylum," expressed his regret that the recent
severe pressure of parliamentary business, coupled with
an enfeebled state of health, had prevented Mr. Guinness
from taking the chair, as was his intention. Me,
however, with great liberality, had contributed the sum of
five hundred guineas to the funds of the institution. The
objects of the asylum were too well known, and the vast
amount of good had been so publicly recognised that it
was unnecessary to enlarge on those points. The alms-
houses now consisted of no fewer than 160 separate and
distinct habitations, and it bad become the largest asylum
in England. The secretary then proceeded to read
the list of subscriptions, which amounted to nearly
5,00 W. The health' of the chairman, that of Mr. Guinness,
and the various officers connected with the institution,
were then given and responded to, and the proceedings ter-
minated. The musical arrangements were conducted by
the artistes connected principally with the Alhambra, and
were highly effective.
VALDE OP METROPOLITAN PROPERTY.—In the
course of a long compensation case, heard yesterday before
the High Bail of Westminster (Moffatt v. the Metro-
politan Railway), the jury awarded 1,1631. for a leasehold
house and the business of a baker in York-street, West-
minster. Mr. Lloyd, for the company, complained of 'demand
made for " three years' " pronto as a lease compensation,
as most preposterous, and whet no railway could bear.
The rent was 511. on lease, but such had been the late rise
in all metropolitan property, that it was worth 1001. a year,
The claim was 2,3001., and the jury gave 1,1631.
