THE LATE FATAL RAILWAY COLLISION—
FURTHER INTELLIGENCE.
TRILLICK, SATURDAY NIGUT.—The jury empaanelled
on view of the body of poor Mitchell, the stoker, who
was killed, owing to the obstructions on the Enniskillen
Excursion Train, sat for a considerable portion of to-day,
Mr. Orr, coroner, having arrived from Omagh.—Some
medical gentlemen and other parties were examined,
after which the inquiry was adjourned to Monday morn-
ing, when it will be resumed. Mitchell's remains will
be removed to Derry to-night by the down train. Seven
parties in all are in custody, on suspicion of being impli-
cated in this affair, but no evidence, we believe, was
adduced at the inquiry to-day directly to identify any of
them with the perpetration of the foul deed. Their
names are—Hugh and William Harkin, William Lynch,
Roger Murphy, Francis Mthialion, William Flanagan,
and John Morran. We are happy to add that none of
the accused parties belong to this part of the country, as
they are all platelayers or " navies" working on the
line.

The place selected foi the execution of this nefarious
plot plainly demonstrates that a wholesale destruction
of human life was expected to result. About a quarter
of a mile on the Derry side of Trillick station there is
an embankment to the height of upwards of thirty feet,
over which, when the train came in contact with the
obstructions, both engines were precipitated, the links
which connected them with the train being providen-
tially broken. The second engine dashed on the first,
and poor Mitchell was crushed to death between them.
There is also a viaduct at the embankment, from the
parapet of which the stones (one weighing nine cwt.)
were moved on to the line. Lord Enniskillen, who was
riding on one of the engines, was scalded and bruised,
while several of the excursionists have sustained injuries
consequent on their leaping out of the carriages when
the shock was felt. The engines remain as they fell,
at the bottom of the embankment. No retaliation
was attempted by the excursionists, as they were all
dreadfully alarmed. Isaac Collins, engine-driver, as before
stated, saved himself by leaping off the engine. The
driver and stoker of the second engine sustained serious
injuries. Two engines were despatched (one from Ennis-
killen, the other from Omagh) on the state of the excur-
sionists becoming known. One of them brought a num-
ber of passengers to Enniskillen early on the following
morning.
Henry Darcy, Esq., of Necairn Castle, was the first
who brought the intelligence of the disaster to Ennis-
killen, he having availed himself of a car which was in
waiting at Trillick station, to reach town, where he
arrived at twelve o'clock. Ile lost no time in having
all the available vehicles in Enniskillen sent to the sta-
tion, to bring up the passengers, many of them, how-
ever, walked home during the night, others sought re-
fuge in the neighbouring villages, while not a, few Were
brought to Enniskillen the following morning by the
train. When the state of affairs became known in En-
niskillen, the greatest alarm prevailed among the inhabi-
tants, as there were few but had relatives among the
excursionists, and the general anxiety had not entirely
abated until all the party arrived on the following day.
Every thing is at present going on satisfactorily. I will
send further intelligence as soon as possible.
The body of Mitchell arrived here by the goods train
on Saturday night, and was interred in Muff church-yard
yesterday.. The funeral was attended by some thousands
of our most respectable fellow citizens.
John Armstrong, engine-driver, and Neil Griffin, fire-
man, who sustained injuries on the occasion, are now
at the County Infirmary. The left leg of Griffin is shat-
tered at the knee. The medical gentlemen met yester-
day, and decided on amputation, but the unfortunate
man would not submit to the operation, so that death is
certain, as mortification has already set in. This poor
fellow is a Roman Catholic.
John Armstrong, the engine-driver, has sustained a
fracture of the thigh bone. • The leg is greatly swollen,
but hopes are entertained of his recovery.
It is remarkable that Armstrong, from some cause,
could not get his engine inworking order when the train
left Dromore road. When asked could he assign any
reason for this he replied, " none, unless the inter-
position of God, for this greatly lessened the speed of
the train.
On Sunday morning several stones were again placed
on the line of rail near the spot where the engines were
upset. The "life guard," however, cleared the rails of
the obstruction, and no accident occurred. One of the
plate-layers says he was fired at here, but his statement
must be received with caution.
Every precaution was taken by the railway officials to
against an accident, as six watchmen were placed
apart on every mile along the line.
Scarcely any
guard
of the country people would render as-
sistance, although one fellow was paid liberally for
bringing a little water, and another was paid to bring a
door to carry off the sufferers; they did not return.
Lord Enniskillen took up his abode in a peasant's house
for the night.

NEW WING TO THE MIDDLESEX HOUSE or DETEN- 1
TlON.—This morning IL Pownall, Esq., (the chairman)
and several of the county magistrates inspected the now
female wino of the prison, which it has been found
necessary, in consequence of want of room, to erect in
connection with the old building. The wing forms a
square and contains 35 additional cells, which are light
and airy, and fitted with all the modern appliances.
Particular attention has been paid by F. 11. Pownall,
Esq., the architect, to the ventilating of the building
generally. The flooring of the bath rooms and cells
have been laid by Orsi and Arraani with white and
brown metallic lava and Seyssel asphalte. The chapel
contiguous to the wing is undergoing considerable
alterations with regard to light and ventilation, and the
old unsightly framework of the seats has been removed,
thus giving the building the aspect of an ordinary

OPENING OF ST. GEORGE'S HALL,
LIVERPOOL.

LIVERPOOL, Tuesday.—This morning there Wa3 again
a very meagre attendance. Considering that Elijah was
the oratorio announced for performance, it might have
been expected that, notwithstanding the high prices of
admission, there would have been a better muster • but
the " higher classes" of Liverpool have never manifested
much love for oratorio music—a fact sufficiently exem-
plified, if proof were wanting, by the scone of yesterday
morning at the finale to the Messiah. The hall this
morning was certainly not more than a third part filled.
The instant it was known that the Queen would not be

Present at the opening there ought to have been a re-
arrangement of the plan of operations. An " inaugu-
ration" by the mayor and council of the borough,
although a very interesting local event, affords nothing
to attract the nobility and gentry of the surrounding
country, after the manner of festivals generally. 14s.
is a formidable sum fora single admission into any estab-
lishment. Had the price been half-a-guinea it would
have been enough in all conscience, and the eclat of a
full attendance might have been secured, to say nothing
of the result as regards the local charities. As it is, the
festival must prove a failure in a financial point of view ;
indeed we shall be very much surprised if a heavy loss
will not be occasioned by it to the corporate estate.
Contrary to all expectations, Elijah, upon the whole,
went off splendidly. The chorus was really magnificent.
One and all seemed inspired by the glorious music, and
laboured zealously to develope the choral wonders of
this most sublime work.

MABKET NEWS--(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

To-day's market was very scantily supplied with all
kinds of English wheat. For all kinds the demand was
firm, and most of the factors refused to sell, except at an
advance in the prices of Monday last, of from is to 2s per
quarter. The business doing, however, was not extensive.
We had a good inquiry for foreign wheat, and the quota-
tions had an upward tendency. Floating cargoes were held
at 2s more money.
The barley trade was firm, at very fall prices ; but malt
commanded scarcely any attention.
We had a good inquiry for oats, at fully Monday's cur-
rency.
Beans, peas, and flour were firm. The top price of Eng-
lish flour was 555 per 2Slbs.

From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)

SUGAR.—Demand has not improfed for colonial, and
prices have further declined for brown and lower sorts,
although a less quantity has been offered for sale. Of duty
paid foreign supplies have been extensive; but holders sub-
mitting to some reduction occasioned operations to be on
a larger scale. Prices are supported for floating cargoes
of foreign, there being many buyers for export and the
United Kingdom. The better sorts of yellow and refining
British Plantation Sugar support previous terms, a good
demand existing; other kinds however have been dealt in
with reluctance, and rather declined.

vious year by 4,000 tons. Prices are supported for good
to fine yellow and grainy, which are in good demand, with
a limited supply.

to 46s for ord. to fine ord. About 3,000 bags have been '

blackish loaf lld to is 20, and strong to pekoe sorts is 3d

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

NEW LIGHT ON WINGA ISLAND, WEST COAST OF SWEDEN.

The Swedish Government has given notice that the
Lens apparatus of the fourth order, placed on the new
lighthouse at Winga, was lighted on the Ist inst. It
stands 90 feet above the level of the sea, being the same
height as the fixed light.
The Light of Buskar, situated inside of Winga, has been
altered to a red light from seaward, bat white from the
fairways within the rocks.
Also, that a reverberating apparatus has been fitted to
the lighthouse of Holmogadd, consisting of 14 strongly
placed reverberators, which illumine the whole horizon,
with. the exception of that towards Holmoland, between
N. 25 deg. and 55 deg. E., by compass, the elevation of
which is the same as the old light, and came into operation
on the 9th inst. In consequence of the situation of the
dangerous shoal which extends two miles S.S.W. from the
southern point of Holmogadd, ending in a flat rock, in 5
feet of water, called Gaddsynton, S.S.W. W., by corn-
pass, from the lighthouse, the light has been strengthened
in this direction, which it therefore illuminates the
strongest.
