FURTHER PARTICULARS.

Since our last, the cholera has appeared in a more lenient
form than when it first broke out at Kirkintilloch. Though
the number of new cases had been great, they have been gene-
rally checked by vigorous medical treatment at the very outset.
To-day, up to four o'clock, there had been reported five new
cases and two deaths. The boy Thom, formerly mentioned as
being very ill, died on Wednesday night. The following arc
the persons who have died :—The boy Thom, who expired on
Wednesday night, Mrs. Duncan, who was taken ill at two
o'clock on Wednesday morning, and died on Thursday morn-
ing. A man of the name of Gardner, took ill on Wednesday
at mid-day, and died at eight o'clock in the evening. Two of
his children, a boy and girl, have also died. The girl was
seized at the first breaking out of the disease ; but the boy was
only attacked last night and died this morning. The sixth in-
dividual is the gardener of Major Berry, who also resided at
Hillhead. All the cases that have occurred can be distinctly
traced, from one to another, to the house in which the disease
at first appeared. Every thing has been done by the Board of
Health which could be resorted to for their cure and comfort
during their illness ; and a room has been allotted in Mr. Mar-
shall's Inn, where all the necessary medicines are kept in a state
of readiness for immediate use.

By the latest accounts we learn, that ten more deaths have
taken place, and that the disease, though it continues to spread,
has assumed a milder form.—Forty cases were said to have oc-
curred up to yesterday evening.

EDINBURGH
(From the Edinburgh Evening Courant.;

All the ordinary political topics of the day have been unfor-
tunately superseded in this quarter by the dread of cholera,
which has been raging for a week past in Musselburgh and the
adjoining districts. On this subject the most alarming and
exaggerated reports are in circulation, which are found, when
inquired into, to have no foundation in truth. As far as we
can learn two cases of cholera occurred here yesterday. One
of a man in the West-bow, who is a dealer in bones and rags,
and of dissipated habits ; he was in the practice of traveling
the country in prosecution of his trade, and it is known had
been in Musselburgh within fifty hours of his being taken ill.
There is, we understand, no hope of his recovery. The
other is the case of a woman residing in Anderson's close,
in the West bow, one of the most confined and dirty
lanes in the whole city. She was conveyed to the
hospital, and the proper remedies being applied, she is now re-
covering. It is not ascertained that she had any intercourse
with Musselburgh or any other infected district. There is, we
hear, another case at Southfield, in the parish of Duddinston,
of a woman, who had been at Musselburgh in consequence of
the illness of some of her friends, and who was seized on Mon.
day last, very soon after her return. She was conveyed to one
of the hospitals in this place, where, we understand, she died
yesterday. There has been one fatal case at Leith, of a man of
the name of Baxter, a shoemaker, of the most dissipated habits,
who, it appears, also brought the infection from Musselburgh.
The strictest precautions, however, have been adopted to pre..
♦ent the communication of the disease ; and as no new case
has since occurred, it is hoped they will be successful.
