The insurances of property in Belfast against rioting now total £10,----000,000. During the past six weeks the rate of insurance has increased immensely.
The Government is said to be mobilising a brigade of troops in Ireland under the guise of interdivisional manoeuvres, and to be embarking a strong force of cavalry at Avonmouth.
A detachment of the Royal Marines is further held in readiness to assist the Irish police.
