TEI LATE RIOTS IN BELFAST.

Although the riots have ceased (says the Northern
Whig of Saturday) we shall in all probability for many days
to come have to record the lamentable results of the meat
dreadful saxes. We have this morning to mamma two
more deaths--John Milliken, shot in Browsetreet on
Tuesday week. and Neal Fagan, shot at Thomson's Bank on
the Thursday following, in the sanguinary encuunterbetwees
the ship carpenters and the navvies!. Both awe are exceed-
ingly painful, not only in result, but the manger in which
the unfortunate men received their wounds. Milliken
was a poor, hard working labourer of good character, sad
beyooll all question—and we have minutely investi-
gated the circumstances—took neither ant nor part I. the
riota. His family were in such poor circumstaaee• that on
the morning of the day on which he met hie death his wife
could sot give him • few peace to percher his breakfast., so
as to avoid the neeessity of hie returning borne. Helmet to do
so, and while paining aloes the street to his own home he
was struck by a hall which entered his lueits, and from the
time of admission to the hospital, it was well known
that the period of his dissolution was, sooner or later,
at hand, and that he could not live. The appearance of
his poor wife and children at the inquest yesterday wee
melancholy in the extreme. They had hardly a frag-
ment of clothing upon them, and had no means for the
interment of deceased. Dr. Moore, house surgeon to the
hospital, end Mr. Canning, one of the jury, collected in
thePospital and among the jury • few pounds to assist
the poor woman in her painful position, for which she
seemed to be extremely thankful In the other case,
which terminated fatally last eveaing—Neal Fagan,
shot at Thomson 's Bank on Thursday—the circum-
stances are also painful. He was, so far as we
can learn, one of the navvies who did not leave work,
but being at the place at the time of the occurrence, he
received a mod dreadful beating with sticks sod stones,
and was shot mid left for dead. From the time of his
admission to hospital he was totally ioseneible. An in-
quest will be held on Fagan this day. The town yesterday
was perfectly quiet. Mr. John Jelldt, comer, held en
inquest in the General Hospital, on the body of IliMiken.
The jury freed the following verdict—" We Sod that the
said John Milliken died at the General Hospital, Belfast,
from a gunshot wound received in Brown-skeet on Tues-
day, the 16th inst., and that said shot was fired by some
person at present uoknown."

THE SUSPECTED MURDERER OF MR. BRIGG&
The Bremen, which arrived at Southampton yesterday
from New York, took out the news to America of the dis-
covery of the murderer of Mr. Briggs. The Bremen left
Southampton for New York on the 20th alt. Muller, the
suspected murderer, sailed in the Victoria on the 14th ult.
When the Africa, which has just arrived, left Boston oaths
17th inst., the Victoria bad been out 34 days. It was ex-
pected that she would be from 40 to 50 days on her pas-
sage. She is very old and slow and laden with iron, and
at this time of the year it was expected she would be
beealroed ; easterly winds have, however, prevailed io the
Atlantic for the last few weeks, sod these ought to have
helped the ship aloes, but there is no OCCiflioll for any sun
prise even if we do not bear of the arrival of the Victorian
New York for another week. _

preparations of cocoa either attractive to the taste or acceptable
to the stomach : the nut was either supplied la the crude gate
