TIE IRISH ELECTIONS.
The Parliamentary elections going on in Ire
land. seem to have been productive Of many riot
Gus demonstrations. The nomination of candi-
dates took place in Belfast on the 18th, and the
Whig of that city remarks
The behavior Of the frenzied mob, which danced
and shouted and waved its bludgeons, was such
thata band OF dangerous iunaucs es aped from
an asylum could not have thrown reason and de-
cency more completely aside. One would have
thought. looking on that hell Itself was empty,
and all the devils were there. The scene was
simply shocking. Men forgot their human ma
ture. and were turned for the moment into wild
beasts.
A correspondent Of the London Times, who was
an eve witness Of the "scrimmage," adds
The scene that presented itself ON the opening
Of the door was tie most extraordinary ever wit

men Of stuuted growth, ike the lowest class Of

THE CHOLERA.
The number Of deaths by cholera at Alexan-
d-ia on tie 18Th Of July was dtty.hve. The cpl
demic sd sensibly diminished at Cairo and in The
surrounding villages The number of deaths at
Cairo on the 18th was forty three.
A correspondent OF the Levant HerGsi, writing
from smyrna on the 3Oth June, says The news
OF an outbreak Of cholera at Alexandria has pro-
duced aimost panic throughout smyrna during
the past week. The Austrian LlOyds' steamer,
whscb arrived here from Egypt on the Esd was
n consequence Of the intelligence, refused pra.
tque and nearly three hundred Of her passengers
were transferred TO the laZarettO, the remainder
being cCnfned on board the vessel herse t at the
qua antue mOOring ground oil karatash. Nearly
the whole Of these were runaways from the cpl
demic aud private letters report that thousands
bc-iles had fed from the smItten town 10 every
port whittier transport could be found. There Is,
however reason to believe that the alarm which
had led 10 this exodus was greatly In excess of
the real danger, as my own private advices state
q az the disease was almost wholly confined 10
the ieahs, whose manner Of living frequently
exposes them at this season TO dysenteTy and
other allied forms Of illness Up to the Oath inst
no thoroughly authenticated case Of death from
cholera had. am assured occurred amongst the
Frank population of Alexandra, and the disease
had not at that date spread 20 CairJ. In the
former town, however, universal alarm prevailed,
and as fear works half the mischief in all mala-
dies Of this kind, it is not improbable that the
panic will bear its usual trait in this way"
THE DIFFICULTIES OF MAMMALIAN IN MEXICO.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: "A private com.
municaton IRON Mexico, which has just come TO

raj entertained as 70 the position of the Empe-
ror Macmillan. When the Emperor entered
