THE ORANGE RIOTS AT BELFAST.

(BY RARCTRIC ratemurn.)
DUBLIN, FRIDAY EVINDIC.
The rioting, which has been going on in Belfast
for several nights, assumed an alarming aspect this
morning. About four o'clock, after the police had
gone to barracks, the mobs came into collision, and
fought with bricks and bludgeons, and even used
guns. Many persons were injured ; a girl was
maimed by a blow of a policeman's gun, and a man
was shot through the leg. A nunnery was wrecked,
and the windows of Si. Patrick's Burial Society,
besides those in a number of private houses, were
smashed. The workers in factories swarmed the
streets this morning, and a renewal of the riot is
expected to-night. The magistrates met to-day to
make preparations for its suppression. The mili-
tary will be called out.

DIIBLLW, SATURDAY MORNING.
Rioting again took place last night in Belfast.
A mob having wrecked a presbyterian and a Wes-
leyan chapel, she Orangemen retaliated by attack-
ing .the residence of Dr. Dorrian, the coadjute
Roman catholic bishop, and a penitentiary belong-
ing to the nuns.
The celebration by the apprentice boys of Derry
of the relief of that city also caused disturbances.
The apprentice boys walked by torchlight at night.

"It is very generally believed," says the Dublin
correspondent of the Time, "that Lord Carlisle left Ireland
on Tuesday evening for the last time, or that if he returns
it will only be to bid farewell to a people who regard him
with an affectionate esteem such as few of his predecessors
have ever enjoyed. Although his retirement is not
officially announced, it has for some time been bet too
evident that his health was giving way beneath the bushes
of office, and this canoe increases the grief which is fell in
every quarter of the country at the possible loss of a viceroy
who has ever proved himself the friend of Ireland. Sevenl
of the papers speak of it as certain, and indicate as his enc.
cisme the Duke of Devonshire, ' whose name,' says one
journal, ' suggests so many high qualifications, social, poli-
tical, and personal, that we are sure the whole country
would rejoin to hear that he had accepted the post. But,
whoever fills it, he =mot easily win more general and un-
feigned respect or mere cord al esteem than Lord Carliale.' "
