ATTEMPT TO UPSET AN EXCURSION'
TRAIN.

DUBLIN, MONDAY.
Full confirmation has *arrived of a diabolical attempt
to upset a railway excursion train from Londonderry to
Enniskillen, ou Friday night.

There were 800 persons in the train, including the
Earl of Enniskillen, the Hon. and Rev. J. C. Maude,
and several clergymen of the Established Church.
One of the engine-drivers was killed ; another had his
leg broken ; and the Earl of Enniskillen received some
contusions.

The upset of the engine was caused by large blocks
of stones. .

The excursionists belonged to a Protestant associa•
ion, and had dined at Derry.

The coroner i 3 now holding an inquest.

Lord Londonderry has offered a reward of five hue.
dred pounds for the discovery of the miscreants con.
cerned in this horrible outrage.

ANOT.EIER ANOMALY OF THE BEER ACT.

The framers of the Beer Act were compelled to make
this concession to common sense that parties who
could only obtain the sustenance necessary to support
nature at public houses should, under certain restrictions,
be allowed to receive refreshments in public houses on
Sunday. It was assumed that the designation, " tra-
vellers' would cover all the varieties of individuals
composing this class. Unluckily it does not. A few
weeks ago a publican in the vicinity of Smithfield was
placed at the bar of a police-court, charged with selling
refreshments at an early hour on Monday morning.
It turned out that the
p..arties served were
i drovers ;
and as their labour consists in great part n moving
backwards and forwards along the roads, they were
held to be travellers, and the publican escaped. Last

dockyard labourers ; dockyard labourers cannot
squeezed into the category of travellers, and well
e
t-
ingly the accused was fined, and found liable in
ace"dts
and dismissed with a cautionary threat. Novrie the'
eye of common sense the case of the drovers and the
dockyard labourers is perfectly identical. Both are
compelled to labour at night—both have to labour at
a distance from their homes—both require refreshments
at hours when most of the world is asleep ; and both
can only procure those refreshments at a house
of public entertainment. But the drovers come from
the country to the town—and the dockyard labourers
only pass from one part of an overgrown metropolis to
the other. It is, therefore, held that in the sense (or
non-sense) of the Act, the former are travellers, said the
latter not. And as the egregious framers of the Act
have only conceded to common sense and common hu-
manity in the case of travellers, the dock-yard labourers,
compelled to toil under cloud of night, in all weathers,
amidst river sludge, are to be denied their necessary
refreshments. This the necessary consequence of a law
enacted to compel the working classes to certain out-
ward formai observances of days and seasons, by men
who know nothing of the times and modes of labour
which the necessities of the poor compel.them to adopt.
The Pharisees of our drawing-rooms and saloons ought,
before they are allowed to hamper and annoy the honest
poor by their enactments, to be compelled to share for a
season in the labours of the poor, in order that they
might have some conception of the plivations which they
entail upon their victims, and the possible consequential'
of such privations.—. Daily News.
