[united press association.] IRISH- TROUBLES. There were tremendous riots in Belfast on the night of the 13th between the Catholics and PnjtßStmnj; during which four taverns and a number of <1 welling houses were wrecked. The police and soldiers charged the rioters several times, and at last succeeded in d«aring the streets. Among those wmnded was a sergeant. His injuries are said to be mortal. A constable and several civilians were severely hurt. The fightiug was..done between the police and the Orangemen, the latter assailing the officers because they prevented the Orangemen from attacking Catholics. A policeman named Garstein is among those who died from his injuries Two civilians, M'Dutton and M'llroy, were shot dead, and fifteen persons were sent to the hospital. The police garrison has been largely inceased. The wreckage caused by the rioting resembled the effects ef a tornado, the men, women, and children who were struck down were bruised and bleeding ; but still cries of defiance and threats of revenge were raised. The Protestants were beaten by sheer numbers, and many of their houses were afterwards raided. Twenty-three prisoners while on their way to the police station sang " Rule Britannia," and cursed Parnell and Sexton. On the morning of the 14th the head constable at Waterford forced a private soldier to attempt to arrest two Orangemen, a father and son. Dnring the struggle that ensued both Orangemen were killed. The Nationalist meeting at Stewartstown on the same evening, was attacked by a mob, and the Riot Act was read. Several police wete injured. Government declined to grant an inquiry into the conduct of the police. On the occasion of the iccent election in Londonderry, the Viceroy's order summoning the inhabitants of Londonderry to deliver up their arms and ammunition before July 25th, has been discharged. The United Ireland of July 9 says that the truce with landlords is shattered and the Irish people have not the least intention to estrange the English masses. It would be impossible to produce a more eloquent example of policy of ramming English rule down Irish throats than is afforded by the appointment of the Irish Viceroy, the Marquis of Londonderry, inheriting, as he does, the blood and name of "Cut-throat Castlereagh." The Freeman's Journal says the appointment is ominous of coercion, and Irishmen must be prepared for this. The Loyalist press of Ireland is delighted over the appointment of Londonderry as Lord-Lieu-tenant. FOREIGN NEWS. Despatches from Berlin of July 28th, say that Herr Schwartz has been compelled to terminate his explorings in the Cameroon couutry owing to hostile natives. He has, however, concluded treaties with several chiefs, giving Germany authority to establish a protectorate over that part of- the country governed by them. Herr Fisher, the African explorer, reports that he had reached Wanga, north of Pagano, with the remnant of his expedition, after a journey of extreme hardship, lasting 32 days. The members of the expedition suffered from hunger. Of 230 natives who went with the party, 57 died from disease, or wounds received in battle. Herr Fisher has secured valuable botanic specimens.
