THE Riots AT BELFAST IRELAND.-The
riot, mere mention Of which was made in
the telegraphic summary of the Europa's
news, took place between the Roman Catho-
lies and Orangcmen, on Sunday afternoon,
at the funeral of n woman, the daughter of n
member of the Catholic Gun Club. A fight
soon commenced between the procession of
"mourners" and the lockers on, and was car
ried on with great terocity for nearly nm hour.
Men, women and children participated, the
fair sex making themselves especially con-
spicuous in procuring supplies of stones and
other missiles for the male combatants. The
victory might he claimed by both parties, as
each was about equally disabled. On the
following Wednesday the warfare was re-
sumcd, and private houses, and churches of
different denominations sacked by the rioters.
The attention of Parliament has been called
to those bloody feuds.

RUST IN WHEAT.-The Directors of the
st. John IN. b. Agricultural Society, in their
repor; for the year l84s, make the following
remarks MS one Of the causes of rust in wheat.
They observe that the ideas are thrown out
rather as supposition than m opinion, and
arc designed to excite inquiry:
"'rhe oat draws nutriment from the earth
by side roots, which spread ouer the ground.
The wheat plant has similar rootlets; but in
addition thereto, when about to head, sends
down tap root into the earth, for the pur-
pose, it may be presumed, of procuring that
additiona! nutriment which its large rich ear
requires; and this tap root has been known
to 20 down to the depth of four feet. We
may observe, that up to the time of sending
down the tap root, the wheat is the hardest
and thriltiest of all the cereals, but afterwards
the most liable to disease. This delicacy is
readily accounted for when we consider that
land is generally undrained-that not more
than few inches of soil get the benefit Of
sun, air and manure, and that, therefore, the
root must encounter in its downward travel
nothing but disappointment. 1t comes in
contact with the cold clay, or sour, wet sub
sol, turns back in despair and dies. In ac-
cordance with tho laws of nature, insects or
rust, which is itself fungus, or vegetable in.
sect, come to finish the work of devastation
on the dying plant. The forlorn farmer rails
ut the climate, and cries out that his wheat is
killed BY rust, while in fact it has died from
starvaton-from the want Of that food which
as a p.ovident husbandman, It was duty to
have provided for it."

in possession Of ndvices from that post to
the 29th ult. The news is very interesting.
Gen. Johnston was about to be relieved from
the starvation which threatened his army, by
the arrival of the supplies sent forward from
Fort Laramie by Col. Hoffman; and Captain
Marcy's command had been heard from, and
was within two hundred miles of Camp Scott.
The Mormons have stopped their flight at
Provo, one Of the strongest of their settle
ments, about forty miles from Salt Lake
City. Gen. Johnston intended entering Salt
Lake city us soon MS Col. Hoffman arrived,

DIVISIONS AMONG THE MoRMoNs.-The
latest accounts from Salt Lake City indicate
that there is by no means that unanimty Of
sentiment among the Mormons which has SO
often been noticed among them. 1t is said
that several of the leaders are by no means
satisfied with the peaceable surrender of ex.
Governor Young, and that but for the me-
nacing attitude of the troops, there would
probably be violent outbreaks among them
This fact, coupled with the continued armed
occupation of the passes by the Mormon
troops, should warn the government not to
withdraw the army until unequivocal evidence
either of submission or evacuation has been
obtained,

and while, as legislative body, we acknowl-
edge that they have done many good things
it will nevertheless be both private and n
general good, for these public servants to
take II recess during the hot weather, first
that the public mind may resume its peaceful

commend ipecacuanha as a cure 70. drunken.

Ipecacuanhn has the extraordinary property
Of stimulating the whole system, equalizing

tions, and indeed, assisting each organ of
the body to perform its function, and TO re-
store it's tbrmal state. lpecacuanha can be
taken with perfect safety rs an emetic; on
that account it is preferable to tartar emetic.
believe the administration of half drachm
Of ipecncuanha as ar emetic to be cure for
periodical drunkenness. tits observed that In
the intervals between the periods of these
attacks the person is quite sober, and often
remains so for two, three or four months, or
for longer time. When the maDia comes
on, the intense desire for alcoholic stimulus
is 80 strong as TO render the sufferer subject
to no control, and, from the sensation of de-
preston and sinking, he can look upon nlco-
holic stimuants as his only remedy. When

tbs WEST Is THE SEAT OF EMPrRE.-Ca-
leb Gushing, in his late speech nt Boston,
paid the following elegant and striking trb-
ute to the West:
"Jealous Of the South! Such would not
be my theme, II the demon Of sectionalism
had so far possessed itself Of me. should
not strive to draw the attention Of Massa-
chusets away from the only real danger Of a
sectional nature which threatens, and 10 fas-
ten her attention upon an imaginary ope.--
Nor by the comparatively small section Of the
Union lying between Mason and Dixon's
line and the Gulf of Mexico is the sceptre Of
the power in this Union to be held hereafter;
but by those vast regions of the West, State
after State, stretched out like star beyond
star in the blue depths Of the armament, far
away to the shores Of the Pacific. What is
the power Of the old thirteen, North or South,
compared with that Of the mighty West!-
There is the seat Of empire, and there is the
hand Of imperial power! Tell me not ofthe
perils Of the slave power and the encroach.
ments of the South. Massachusetts and
South Carolina together will be as clay in
the fingers of the potter, when the great
West shall stretch forth its arm of power,
rs ere long it will, to command the destiny
of the Union"

HEALTH AT THE SouTH.-Great aprrehen-
sons are felt in the Southern States that the
coming summer will be very sickly one,
and that the dreadful scourge Of yellow fe.
yer, from which the South was 80 unusually
exempt last season, will return this year with
greater violence Than ever. This fear is
based upon the fact that the long continued
freshets, at this particular time, are likely to
breed febrile diseases. Nearly one fourth OF
the land on the Mississippi, from Vicksburg
down to the mouth of that river, has been
oveflowed for many weeks, and all the
swamps, bnyous and lagoons at the South
are gorged with stagnant water In the in.
teriors of Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia
the freshets have been unprecedented.

There was great excitement in Nicholas

Arnold, the wifo murderer. The mob had
succeeded in getting the Jail door off of the
hinges before it was quelled. Several order.
loving citizens interceded in behalf of the
prisoner, and order was finally restored, up
on the promise that Judge Goodloe would
hold Arnod's trial next Monday.
A guard of eight men was posted around
the Jail doors. Another rush was made to
get at the prisoner, when four Of the guard
stood their ground with cooked guns, deter
mined that the mob should walk over their
dead bodies before they would swerve from
their duty.
Arnold had two thousand dollars upon his
person, which ho offered to the jailor il he
would procure him rial Of sirychnine.
