IRELAND.

DUBLIN, AUG. 26.
Something I he a reign of terror still prevails in
Tipperary. Mr. William Scully, brother of the
member for the county of Cork, travels about on
business accompanied by tw o armed policemen, who
keep a sharp look-out at cross roads, short turns,
and in the neighbourhood of walls and hedges.
He always carries arms, and takes care that the
road he is to take is not known. He mistrusts
every one, even the postman who is obliged to
place Mr. Scully's letters and papers on the ground
before he comes within pistcl-shot. It has been
suggested that it would be more prudent for this
gentleman to change his residence than to be ex-
posed to such tremendous risks. It will not be easy
to evade the persevering, patient hatred of his
enemies ; but it sometimes happens, even in Ireland,
that " threatened people live long."
A medical gentleman residing in Carrick on-Suir
has been threatened because, en being summoned,
he gave evidence at the inquest on the remains of
Michael Maguire, who was murdered for taking a
farm from which another man had been evicted.
The medical gentleman marked out for assassination
because he told the truth en his oath is said to be
remarkably humane, giving his time and medical
skill gratuitously for the relief of the poor. Thus
the best benefactors of the people are doomed by
this horrid system of assassination.
All the landlords in the Glen of Aberlow have
received notice, by a placard posted on the gate of
Captain George Massey Dawson, of New Forest.
Hayes, son of the notorious Michael, has had the
audacity to send a memorial to the Lord-Lieutenant;
praying that he may be released from prison, on
the false pretence that he is in a dangerous state of
health. It is supposed that his object in malinger-
ing was to get out of prison in order to assist his
father to evade the police. In the same neighbour.
hood a man was charged with having in his posses.
sion a " pike" of the true Mitchell stamp, said to be
a relic of '4B, which he kept " for the protection of
his kitchen garden." He was deprived of the wea-
pon, but, in consequence of the good character he
received, the magistrates did not punish him farther.
In the county of Longford the constabulary have
collected 50 stand of arms from the people, some of
them in fine condition. They consisted of guns,
pistols, swords, and bayonets. In the course of their
search for arms they found a set of mail bags lost
so far back as October, 1859, and which contained
money to the amount of £lOO. They were found
in the house of a farmer named Murphy, and they
are in a good state of preserv.ation.
There is a set of young women in the South
Dublin Union workhouse who are incorrigible
savages. They have been imprisoned several times
for outrages, and nothing seems capable of reclaim-
ing them. On Sunday night the mistress of the
probationary ward locked up the girls es usual in
their dormitory at the regular hour, 7 o'clock, when
there was no sign of anything wrong. Between 10
and 11 o'clock they piled up the beds and bedding,
set fire to them, and, having escaped through a ,
window, they looked on from the yard at the opera-
tion of the flames. Property to the amount of £4O
was destroyed before the fire was discovered, and
had it not been extinguished in time a number of
lives would have been lost. They confessed the
crime, and seemed to exult in it with the most
brazen impudence. It .is surely an abuse of the
poor-house system to be pampering such persons in
idleness and vice!

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING TEE
WEEK.

(Rom the Registrar-General's TFreekly Return.)
The deaths in London now exhibit that increase which is
usually seen in the bills of mortality at this season, when
diarrhoea or summer cholera is a prevailing complaint. In
the week that ended last Saturday they rose to 1,254. If
the deaths from epidemic cholera in the 34th week of the
year 1854 are excluded from the returns on which a com-
parison is based, it may be shown that the mortality of last
week exceeded by 60 the average mortality of corresponding
weeks in 1852-61, after correction of the latter is made for
increase of population.

In the first week of the current month the deaths from
diarrhoea were 59; in the second, 116; last week they were
123. A large proportion of these 123 cases occurred to in-
fants, for only 15 deaths from diarrhoea were returnee as
having occurred to persor.s above three years of age. The
disease NI as fatal in 6 cases in the sub-district of St. John,
Marylebone, in 6 in the West sub-district of Islington, in 5
in Mile-end Old Town West, in Bin Popar, and in sin the
second sub-district, Waterloo-road. Besides the deaths re-
ferred to diarrhoea, 7 from cholera or choleraic diarrhoea
were returned, and these also were chieflyarnongst children.
A. man, aged 36 years, died at 374, Caledonian-road, of
English cholera, after seven days' illness. A child, aged
four month:, died of " scurvy ; hydrocephalus since birth."
There were 9 deaths in the week from smallpox, two of
which were those of adults. Typhus and scarlatina were
fatal in nearly equal numbers of cases, the former in 69,
the latter in 68; diphtheria numbered 16 deaths; measles
declined to 39.

Last week the births of 942 boys and 908 girls, in all
1850 children, were registered in London. In the ten cor-
responding weeks of the years 1852.61 the average number
(corrected) was 1772.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height
of the barometer in the week was 29,803 in. The reading
rose from 29.65 in. on Sunday to 33.04 in. on Saturday.
The mean temperature of the air in the week was 59.6 deg.,
which is 1.1 deg. below the average of the same week in 43
years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day
temperature was 74.8 deg. on Tuesday ; the lowest night
temperature was 46.8 deg, on Saturday. The range of the
thermometer in the week was 28 deg. The mean daily range
was 17.1 deg. The range on Sunday was 5.4 deg. ; on Tues-
day it was 25.4 deg. The difference between the mean dew-
point temperature and air temperature was 3.5 deg. The
mean degree of humidity of the air was 89, complete satura-
tion being represented by 100—the point attained on Sunday.
The wind was in the north on the first two days ; afterwards
in the south-west and west. Rain fell to the amount of
1.57 in., of which no less than 1.27 in. fell on Sunday (the
17th). On that day there was rain almost without inter-
mission till midnight. The thermometer in the sun rose
to 122.7 deg. on Tuesday. The mean of the highest tem-
perature of the water of the Thames was 94 deg.; the
mean of the lowest was 61.8 deg.:

FRANCE TO HAZY.

(From Punch.)
Italians, you but waste your breath,
The right you cry for stands no chance;
You raise the shout of "Rome or Death I"
And " Death I " is the reply of France.
Yes, death, my friends, for I am strong;
France is resolved to have her way;
Her will is law which, right or wrong,
The weak must perish or obey.
Your claim of Rome I must refuse
For I don't want you to become
Tco independent, and I choose
To keep you underneath my thumb.
But death's a boon I wont deny,
If you desire to bite the dust,
Brave, then, the might of France, and die ;
If die you will, then die you must.
My Bourbons I dethroned, 'tis true ;
But therefore cherish not the hope
That I shall ever suffer you

To do the like, and doff the Pope,
His power it suits me to maintain,
My cannons guard the Papal chair;
You pray for liberty in vain :
Attempt to win it if you dare.
The Eldest Daughter of the Church
Must needs defend her parent's Head,
And keep the Pontiff on his perch,
Although upon your necks he tread.
Creeds may by her be turned to sport,
Or dogmas carelessly ignored,
But France must Popery support
As an Idea, with the sword.
To suppliants what I did not grant
Claimants from me shall never wring;
To stern demand of course I can't

Think of conceding such a thing.
Honour forbids me to concede,
To menace, what is justly due;
Then how you strike for Rome, take heed:
Death is your portion if you do.
A generous nation am I not ?
Of progress don't I lead the van?
Befriend the struggling patriot ?

And vindicate the Rights of Man P
Ah I yes, but I must domineer,

So cannot call my forces home.
Then death to every Volunteer
So bold as to advance on Rome I
