The large ship Ben Nevis, sailed from Liverpool, with emigrants on the 28th ult., now thirty-five days out.

Since writing the above we have seen the following dispatch brought by the Africa:
Cholera on Board a Ship Bound to Galveston. –

The ship Ben Nevis, from Liverpool for Galveston, with four hundred and forty German emigrants on board. Had put into Queenstown on account of cholera. Seven persons died on the passage, and seven after her arrival at Queenstown.
As the Africa sailed from Liverpool on the 7th inst., we presume the Queenstown mentioned, must be on the coast of Ireland.
