pected under the circumstances.
They, Of course, would like to come to the
city as soon as possible, bnt all expressed an
entire willingness to remain in quarantine as
long as 1t was deemed necessary for the pro-
lection Of the city. There was no sickness
on board the vessel, all the sick having been
removed to the Nightingale, and no new case
had occurred to-day.
From the statement made to me by the
surgeon of the ship and by DR.. Burdett,
deputy health officer, there can bo no doubt
as to the nature of tho disease with which
this ship has been infected.
The vomiting and purging, rice-water dis
charges, sunken features, blue surface,
shrivelled skin, with loss Of its elasticity
and the muscular cramps, tell the story but
too plainly that it is Asiatic cholera.
Very respectfully, &c,
LEWIS A. SAYRE.
The surgeon Of the Atalanta states that
the majority OF her passengers were emf
grants from Switzerland and the southern
part of Germany, and that they came by the
way of Paris where the cholera was raging)
to Hnvre, and while there several died in
boarding houses, attended by the Govern
ment physicians.

entertained of the speedy disappearance o.
the malady.
