Ise: publication are in Edinburgh 6; in Leith 9. Thy
cases still remaining are—in Edinburgh 83 ; in Leith
87 ; in Newhaven 1. About the end of last week the
epidemic broke out in the village of Loanhead, and
from the parish of Lasswade there have been 29 cases
ripened, Of which 18 have proved fatal. These
were nearly all colliers in Loanhead, living within
400 yards of each other. From Crookston, parish
of Stow, one fatal case is reported, that of
an itinerant hawker, who had left Edinburgh a few
hours before being taken ill. In Alusselburgh as well as
Portobello we are informed that cholera has appeared, in
several cases fatal, but as yet there has been no authentic
return from these places. There have also been seven
cases reported in tke parish of Liberton, four of which
have proved fatal. The sheriff has issued a circular to
the inspector of the poor of each pariah in the county,
ri quiring him to make' a daily return "of the cases of
cholera in his pariah, properly authenticated. The 24
cases reported from Leith on Monday were chiefly in the
centre of the town. In Edinburgh a great proportion of
the victims resided in some part of that long line of over-
crowded streets, extending from Croft-an-righ, near
Holyrood, to the Grass-market and West Port. Among
the new localities in Edinburgh is the Water of Leith
village, where the disease first appeared on Monday.

ON
POLISII BALL AND CONCERT AT GUILDHALL
THE 16TH INST.—Another meeting of the committee
for conducting this annual entertainment took place at
Guildhall on Tuesday, under th© presidency of Mr.
Holt, the deputy chairman. From
some of the members present, and the reports made by
various quarters, there is every also received from
reason to believe that the
of
exertions of the friends Poland will, as usual, be
crowned with success. A
most distinguished list of
patrons and patronesses, headedby her Royal Highness
the Duchess of Kent, was laid before the committee by
Lord Dudley Stuart, and his Lordship handed likewise
to the treasurer several donations which be had received
for the benefit of this benevolent undertaking. Every
to
precaution has been takenfacilitate the comfort
and convenience of the visitors; a, separate saloon,
brilliantly lighted and embellished with shrubs and
evergreens, having been prepared, in addition to the
other refreshment rooms, for th numerous company
expected on the occasion. The excellence of the core
cert, under the able direction of Mr. Benedict and Mr.
Lindsay Sloper, forms of itselftahfreat attraction, com-
prising as it does the names of
, xTiossst
Demoisnent vocal-
ists—Miss Poole, Mrs. Weiss
Ransford, Miss Messent, Misses A. and M.7'illiMarniss
Miss Dolby, and Miss Miran; Mr. Sims Reeves,
Mr.
W. H. Harrison, Mr. Charles Braham, Mr. Whitworth,
Mr. Weiss, Signor Burdini, Mr. Williams, and Mr.
Frank Bodda; and no small feature of this musical treat
will be the performance of the celebrated artiste, Mon-
sieur Chopin, who has never as yet been heard before
the public in London. Several distinguished persons
have signified their intention to honour the ball with
their presence ; and when the gay sebne presented on
the evening of the fete, in the splendid hall hung with
flags and banners, brilliantly illuminated, and filled with
a diversity of rich dresses and gorgeous costumes, can
be imagined, it is not surprising to see it, as it has ever
been, fully and tashionably attended by the votaries of
the dance, and many other persons anxious to testify
their feelings in a just and right cause.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Bowel Complaints and Cho-
lera do not always arise from foulness without the sys- i
tem; if the liver be in a sluggish state, or if the diges-
tive
functions be improperly performed irritation of the
bowels is sure to ensue; and if the blood be not properly
decarbonized, in consequence of the lungs being ob-
structed by impurities, that vital fluid passes through
the system charged with a disease engendering principle.
The Vegetable Restorative Pills, prepared by John Kaye,
Eici., of Dalton-hall, near Huddersfield, have
become
celebrated throughout the world as the most effica-
cious medicine ever discovered for ridding the system of
all impurities, for opening obstructions, for removing
acrimonious and redundant bile (the chief cause of cho-
lera), and for causing the fluids to flow in a healthy and
natural order. At the same time, these Pills strengthen
the stomach, aid digestion, and renovate the whole sys-
tem. None are genuine unless Mr. Kaye's coat-of-arms,
and a fac simile of his signature, are printed on the di-
rections for use wrapped round each box. Price Is. lid.;
2s. 91; or 43. 6d. each box. To be had of all . •
