BELFAST. August 2l.-The hopes OF a
restoration OF quiet, which were excited
yesterday by rather more peaceful state
OF affairs, have not been realized. The
condition OF the city was worse than
ever last night. The authorities are
powerless against the depredators,
though supported by an armed force of
fully 5000 men. School-houses have
been destroyed, and it is with the utmost
difficulty that some churches are pre-
served from sharing their fate. Grave
mismanagement on the part Of the au-
thorities is suspected, and the general
dissatisfaction is so great that respectable
citizens intend to form vigilance COM
mittees for the arrest and summary pun
ishment Of offenders.
