LIVERPOOL.

The cholera has at length unmistakeably appeared in
Liverpool. There have been ten cases on board of the
Silas Greenman, now in this port, and bound with emi-
grants to New York. Three have proved fatal, and
there are three more patients in a state of collapse, from
which recovery cannot be expected.

GREENWICH.
Active measures are being taken thoroughly to cleanse
and purify the several parishes comprised in the Green•
wich union, as being the best means to the prevention
of cholera. Dr. Milroy, medical inspector of the Gene-
ral Board of Health, on Friday attended a special meet-
ing of the board of guardians, to hold a conference with
and that, if
the medical officers, in the course of which various mea-
sures of precaution were brought under discussion. Re-
solutions were agreed to, that the medical officers of the
union should act as a kind of sanitary inspectors ; that
they should report every case of nuisance that could be
discovered in their several districts ; that they should

with peculiar effect on the
biliti moral and social responsi-
bilities of medical men, and rejected the common impu-
tation that, as a body, they were inclined to scepticissa
and doubt. From the peculiar nature of their studies,
and their constant contemplation of disease and death,
they might sometimes pay too much attention to secton•
dary causes, and forget the first great cause • but it was
not true, in these days at least, that the medical profes-

Miss CiatiirsamtmE.—We ( Galignani ) have receivea
two letters from Genoa, complaining of the miSrepre-
se atations o fthe conduct of Miss Margaret Cunningham
contained in the letter.of "An Englishman," copied int
this journal from the Post, which is calculated to crest
an unjust preju dice against that unfortunate young lady.
The Englishnut a states that she distributed the probi-
bited tracts at Lugliano, the day previous to her dotal:
so at Benabbio, and that she was assaulted by the en-
raged peasantry with stones in consequence. This it
Genoa correspondents assure us, is unmitigated er
-
hood. Miss Cunningham did nothing of the kind, nh*
o
would she have distributed any tracts at all, but that e
was in entire ignorance that her so doing was an offence
against the law. Under such circumstances, every go-
nerous mind must extend its sympathy to the unfortunate,
) captive, and join itia the hope almost universally expressed
of her speedy dieliverance from • the =legumes.
