THE FEVER IN IRELAND.

&Jun.—The town of Sligo has suffered mote than
gay other from the maligtsant fever. A gentleman
arrived in London states, that not of a population
not exceeding 13,000, upwards of 1000 persons have
fallen victims.

Betratsr.—Aecountarnm Belfast state, that the
fever still rages in the counties of Down and Antrim.
This dreadful •nalady has attacicrd almost every
house in Downpattick ; the Clergyman of the parish,
the Rev. Mr. home, has been one of its victims. It
begins to spread in Belfast, but not with the malig-
nant symptoms that have appeared in other places....
The following mode of prevention Os recommended,
as having stood the test of experiment handful
of salt being put on a plate, pour over it a penny-
'tworth of oil of vitriol ; shut the windows and doors of
the mom for some time. It produces a great sinfike,
and is the most effectual preventative to infection.
DERUY, SEPT. 9.—We lament to state, that the

fever, with which we have been so long and so se-
verely visited• in this City and suburbs, is not .übsicll
ing. Its ravages still proceed unchecked ; every day
produces new cases; it has taken its course among
all ranks of society, and some of our most valuable
fellow citizens have (Allen its victims. Bit among
the poor, as may naturally be expected, its progress
has been most destructive. The tents which have
been erected for their reception still continue crowded.
Although on Thursday last twenty-nine persons were
discharged as convalescent, and on Saturday twenty-
six, still one hundred and eleven remain uncured,
and most of them in danger ; not is there any imme-
diate prospect of their numbers being dimiciblied,
from the frequent daily applications to the Commit-
tee.—These tents have been erected now four weeks,
and only fourteen persons. poung and old, have died
within them during that period. Within the last
eleven days, 59 coding have been given to the puor.

A singular wager was decided at the United Mines,
in Guennap, on Friday se'nnight. RICHARD CM, D.
WICK, Esq. and Captain HADDEV, of the Inniskilling
Dragoons, engaged to descend by the ladders to the
bottom of the above mine, which is 10, fathoms
from the surface of the earth, and return in two
hours, for a wager of 100 guineas. They accom-
plished the undertaking in 42 minutes within the
time; taking half an hour to descend, and 48 minutes
to ascend. fhey were accompanied by another Gen-
tleman and some of the Captains * the mine, durirg
their subterranean expedition.
