Three fatal cases, said to be cholera, Lave oc-
curred at Haddington—one of which, a dissipated old Loan,
and another a low abandoned woman. They were all three
inmates of the Nungate, the most unhealthy locality in
Haddington, being liable to inundation from the river when
in flood. The connection between cholera, diarrhoea, and
typhus, is so intimate, that it is very difficult to ascertain
whether the above cases from Haddington be what is called
the real cholera or not.—Caledonian Mercury.

There are at this moment 200 prisoners in
the county gaol, a number far greater than was con-
templated when the gaol was erected. On Sunday
morning, Mr. LAVENDER, the Governor, received infor-
mation (from one of the prisoners) that fourteen or
fifteen of the prisoners had bound themselves, by an oath
on the Bible, to support each other in an attack on the
turnkeys and other officers, with a view to escape. He
deemed it right, in consequence, not to suffer the
prisoners to assemble in the chapel, and to obtain the
assistance of a detachment of the 85th Foot, now
stationed in this city, as an additional guard. The fortu-
nate discovery of the plot however rendered it abortive,
for no attempt was made. As the application for the
soldiers came while they were attending the service at the
Cathedral, their leaving that place suddenly, and assembling,
caused no little sensation in the city,—Hereford Journal.
