BELFAST.

Daring Monday evening the streets were crowded,
the shop-windows were all secured by shutters, but, we
are glad to state, no disturbance of any consequence
took place, and up to two o'clock this morning all had
been comparative quiet. A party of Lancers patrolled
the streets in the evening, and after dark the police were
stationed in such points of the town as was thought
most advisable, in order to check any disorder if at-
tempted. Mr. Tracy, R.M., remained at the police-office
till a late hour last night, lest his presence might be ne-
cessary in conjunction with the civil power.

LIMERICK (CITY).
The excitement throughout the city continues una-
bated; and, after my dispatch last evening tho mob tra-
versed all quarters in search of such of the Roman
Catholic electors as were pledged to support Mr. Russell,
and used such intimidation as to cause many to give
way through terror, rather than sacrifice not only their
property but the lives of themselves and families. Lieu-
tenant Knatchbull, 3d Dragoon Guards, was one of the
officers badly wounded in the conflict yesterday. Mr.
Barron, stipendiary magistrate was also struck, and Mr.
T. Russell, brother of tho candidate, was knocked down
and maltreated.

The mob gutted the residences of seven respectable
electors. This day they visited the " liberties" to inti-
midate the votes, but were repulsed by the military.
Two fieldpieces of artillEry were called into requisition in
addition to the other force; and the magistrates held a
meeting, the result of which was the publication of the

HEALTH OF LONOONDURING THE J'VEZir*
(From the Register-General's Report.)
The week that ended last Sa.urday brought a 0,01-
siderablo accession to the mortality of London, wil'cu"
rose higher than it had been in the eleven weeks Pwe"
ceding, In the week ending 3d July, with a Mc"'
temperature of 59.7 deg., the deaths registered '‘Yere.
937; in last week ending 10th July, with a mean Will.
perature of 70.9 deg., they Were 1,080, showing an
crease Of nearly 100.
In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1842-5(
the average number of deaths was 889, which, with 0,
correction for increase of population, will be 978: The
present return, therefore, shows a mortality greater
than the estimated amount by 102. The average tem-
perature of the corresponding weeks was 62 deg. 'l'ool
these facts it seems reasonable to draw the inference,
that a sudden increase Of heat above the average, to the-
amount of nine degrees, has shortened the lives of more
than a hundred persons.
A comparison of the returns of the last two weeks st?'
pears to show that extreme heat has been unfavourable
to the young and the old, while with regard to the middle'
aged its tendency has been ben, ficial, except to such of
these as were labouring under consumption. In the
week endiug 3d July 416 children died under 15 years,
last week the number rose to 505, exhibiting an increase of
21 per cent. ; in the previous week 187 persons of 60
years and upwards sunk under disease, last week the
number was '203, showing an increase of about 9 per
cent.; whereas the deaths about the middle age decreasel'
from 383 in the former week to 349 in the last. But if
will be observed that the number of fatal cases of OW'
sis among persons between 15 and 60 years rose frail
110 in the preceding week to 127 recorded in the present
return.
Still comparing the facts of the last two week, it
appears that ' there is an increase in the epidemic
class, arising partly from scarlatina, and partly from
a greater prevalence of diarrhoea; that diseases 0f
the brain end nervous system numbered in both
returns 131, while those of the digestive organs rose
from 59 to 74, and those of the respiratory organs from
91 to 122. This important increase in the last-mentioned
class is due to a greater fatality of bronchitis and inflam-
mation of the. lungs among children, for while only 39
of the young :Jed in the previous week of these diseases,
they carried off 63 in the last.
In the York-load on the sth of July, the son of
gardener, aged 7 years, died of 44 asci:es and albuali"
nuria supervening on ecarlatina." Three fatal twee
of scarlatina have occurred in this family,. andea"
other member of it is not expected to live', 'OO
making inquiry (says Mr.
,Child) respecting Abe
drainage, .1. find that the cesspools empty them-
selves into the front of the houses, and there the refuse
lies for want of a proper sewer to carry it away. HaVitil{t.
had an interview with the landlord upon the subject,
am told that he has made several applications to the
Commissioners of Sewers, and has paid heavy rates since
they have had.the matter in their hands, yet he catthet
get assistance in any way.
Twenty-four deaths occurred last week from shall"
pox; two of these in the Small-pox Hospital. The !el'
lowing are the particulars of the latter:—
On sth July. a woman, aged 21 years, from William.
street, K nnington, died of "small pox, confluent,.ll°'
protected (14 days)." -
On the 7th July, a tin-plate-worker, aged 28 year*
from West Ram, "smell-pox, -confluent, unprotected
(14 days) "
In Lambeth, at 5, Heathfield-place, -Mason-stieet,' 00
7th July, a gentleman, aged 22 years, died of "debility
consequent on small-pox." He bad been vaccinated is
childhood, and .was discharged as cured from the Small'
pox Hospital on the day before his death. At 13, Cock'
pit-yard, Bt dford row, on the 9th July, the son .4:4 a
horea-keeper, ag'd 6 months, died of "diarrhoea (2
weeks), convulsions (2 days), small-pox (12 hours).;l3et
vaccinated." Mr. Goodhugh states that "the tattler
assigned as a reason for having neglected to vaccinate
the child, that he did not know where to take him-" °l2
the 2d July, at 15, New Gravel-lane, Sbadviell, Abe
daughter of a coal whipper, aged 8 onths. died °f
" small-pox, confluent (12 days), unprotected;" and oa
the 7th July, in the same lane, the son of a butcher;
aged 10 weeks, "small-pox,' vaccinated- without effect.
Mr. Ross, tholiTistrar of -the 3rib-district, makes the
following remarks:---" I regret that I have again to4ect-
turn two deaths from small-pox, and there are a'goat
number of persons suffering from the disease in my dis-
trict. When the pestilential cholera WAS decimating-the
Population of this vast metropolis, the Government
deemed it expedient to appoint district visitors to admi-
nister astringent-medicine to"those suffering from the die
ease in its diarrhceal stage, and well I know that by
this
judicious step -thousands of lives were saved. MI
then is not some measure now taken to stay the pro:
gress of this loathsome disease, such as the appointment
of every legally qualified medical - practitioner as 'or
cinator?"
Three deaths are attributed to the excessive heat of
last week; the particulars of. the cases are as follow:-••
On sth July, at 13, Wellington-row, Haekney-road,
road, the son of a box-maker, aged 6 years, died of con'
vulsions from ceup de-soleil (36 hours)."
On 6th July, at 14, Thomas-street, Bt. Olive, ill
daughter of a lighterman, aged years and 8 months, die'
of coup-de-soleil; congestion of the lungs."
On 7th July, at 12, Dock-street, Whitechapel, a jour'
Heyman sugar-baker, aged 36 years, died of "exhaustion
produced by heat."
The following eases were also registered last week:--'
At 8, Plough-court, Whitechapel, on sth July, a sweep'
aged 46 years, from " anthrax (10 days)." Six periwig',
aged respectively 'lO, 11, 14; 17, 23, and 24 years, were
drowned accidentally in bathing; 3 were drowned in the
River Lea, at Hackney (2 oh the -411,- and one on the
aBnthd 2on the one on the sth, in the Thames, at Putney;
