principal northern lines contemplated, are the
Londonderry and Enniskillen extended ; and a

series of lines running from Belfast, with the
intention of connecting the Ulster and Connaught.
For this, the Ulster and Midland Great Western
Companies apply for a bill to enable them to sub-
scribe conjointly. A scheme .fOr a line running
from south-east- to west is also put forward; the
Waterford and Kilkenny railway being extended
(by a separate company, however) from the latter
city to Maryborough, where the connection will be
taken up by the Great Southern and Western to
Portarlington, and thence by a junction to Tulla-

from which place a line is suggested inter-
ecting the Midland Great Western at Athlone or
Ballinasloe, and continuing on to Sligo.' A num-
ber of short lines are also. to be applied for in the
neighbourhood of the metropolis and elsewhere.

REPRESENTATION OF CLCNIIEL.— Amongst the
additional names mentioned, are those of Mr.
Nicholas Maher, late member for Tipperary ; Mr.
Bianconi, the extensive car-proprietor ; Mr. John
O'Connell, Mr. Waldron, Mr. Bagwell (both landed
proprietors in Tipperary), and Mr. FrancisMeagher,
a highly talented member of the Leinster bar.

SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—CONFESSION OF MUR-
DER.7---A young man named Thomas Jarrett, an
Englishman, residing at Smithdown-lane, Edgehill
Liverpool, surrendered himself last night at Sack
ville-place station-house, and stated that he shot
young man, named Thomas Williams, ah
Englishman, and residing near the Edgehill stp-
lion, on the 9th instant, at twelve o'clock, noon.

quiries by the police from the authorities at Liver-
pool.

THE LATE FLOOD.—Patrick's bridge, Cork, has
been pronounced unsafe, even for foot passengers.
The quays are also dangerous, and such was the
force of the current that many parts of the channel
of the Lee have been deepened nine and ten feet.

Subscriptions for the relief of the sufferers are
being collected, and already, from 3,000 to 4,000
tickets for food, fuel, &c., have been distributed.
The destruction of six bridges, and four deaths by
drowning, are reported on the Blackwater.

THE CHOLERA ON BOARD THE KOSSIITH.—The
patients have been removed to the hulk provided
at Queenstown for their reception, and measures
taken to purify-the ship. From Monday to Wed-
nesday five deaths occurred, but subsequently no
new cases broke out. A man living in the village
of Whitegate, who went on board the Kossuth was
seized virulently on his return home, and died.
There are at present in the vessel five cases of cho-
lera, under treatment, and seven of diarrhoea. In
answer to the inquiries of the Mayor as to quaran-
tine regulations, the following reply has been

" Sir,—l am directed by the Lord Lieutenant to acknow-

his Excellency of the arrival in Cork harbour of the ship
Kossuth, with 650 emigrants on board, many of whom have
been attacked with cholera of a most malignant type ; and
to acquaint you that his Excellency is unable to take any
steps upon the suggestion of the Town Council, respecting
quarantine, it appearing by a communication recently re-

The CHOLERA SHIP IN BELFAST.—We.
Whig, have to announce what, no doubt, our readers
in Belfast will receive as gratifying intelligence,.
that the ship Guiding Star, with its mutinous
Crew and infected passengers, left our roads at two
o'clock yesterday, in tow, of the powerful tug
steamer Independence, for Liverpool. Since our
last publication seven further deaths have taken
place among the passengers, making a total, up to
yesterday, of twenty-two deaths, while eighteen re-
main under treatment in the cholera wards of the
Union Hospital, of whom some are in very peril-
ous circumstances, and not expected to survive.
It is a source of gratification that from Monday
evening no further death was reported from the
Union Hospital—the fatalities that have taken
place since having occurred altogether on ship-
board.

ATTEMPT TO UPSET A RAILWAY TRAIN.-0/1 Sa-
turday last as the quarter past seven o'clock p.m.,
train from Dublin, on the Dublin and Belfast
Junction Railway, was passing about a mile be-
yond Dundalk, at a place called the Red Cow, near
the Castletown Railway bridge, it experienced
a sudden and smart shock, evidently occurring
from some obstruction on the line. A little further
on, the like occurred again, and at about two hun-
dred yards distance, a still more violent and dan-
gerous jolt. These indications induced extreme
caution and watchfulness on the part of the driver,
and not without great necessity, the night being
very dark, for on passing quietly on a little further
another shock was felt, and had the train been at
its usual speed, it must inevitably have been
thrown off the rails. and pitched down over an em-
bankment at least one hundred feet high, in which
event the loss of life would be disastrous in the
extreme. It was found on examination that four
iron chairs, of the kind used we believe in attach-
ing the iron rails to the wooden sleepers, were
placed on the rails, at distances of about two hun-
dred yards apart, and apparently for a designed
and malicious purpose. The escape of the train
from being capsized over the embankment, is
almost miraculous. As far as can be at present
ascertained, the two first of these were thrown off
the rail by the action of the life guard attached to
the engine, and the third had been driven be
tween the line of rails. Most providentially no
accident or interruption of the traffic occurred, and
the train was enabled to pass on with safety to
Belfast.

SHIPWRECK OF THE " CALIFORNIA" EMIGRANT
SHIP.-A correspondent in Achill sends us (Daily
Express) the following particulars of this melan-
choly event :—" Achill, Tuesday night.—There has
been a very sad scene at the colony to-day. The
California, emigrant ship, which left Sligo on the
18th of September, was wrecked about 150 miles
from land, on Friday morning last. The passen-
gers, consisting of men, women, and children, and
crew, left the vessel in three boats, two of which
arrived here (one at Duoch last night, and the
other at Dugert this morning), with sixty persons,
about fifteen of whom have died, some at sea, and
some since landing. The survivors are in the
hotel, hospital, and private houses in the colony,
in a most pitiable condition. We have heard no-
thing of the third boat, but it is likely she is safe,
as her crew were well supplied with provisions, a
compass, &c, . Those poor creatures in the colony
had notA drop of fresh water on board, and suffered
dreadfully from thirst. The vessel sprang a leak,
and went down immediately."
