IRISH RAILWAYS.
ACCIDENT ON TIIE ULSTER RAILWAY.—On Tues-
day evening, after the half-past seven o'clock train,
with passengers and goods' had arrived at the termi-
nus at Belfast, the trucks containing the goods were
as usual detached and sent back to the luggage depot,
where a number of other trucks or lorries were at
the time being unpacked. Unfortunately the men
upon the lorries, which were in motion, could not get
the break to act with sufficient effect to prevent a
collision with the stationary trucks, and the latter
were violently driven against by the whole weight of
the advancing train, which dashed almost completely
through them. Two men who were engaged un-
packing the latter at the time of the collision, were
seriously injured. One of them, named Thomas
Al‘Cord, was knocked down by a puncheon of rum,
which fell upon him, and had to be removed before
he could be extricated from his perilous position. The
second, a man named Dunlop, sustained a fracture in
one of his limbs. A man named Robert Willis, who
was in the act of putting the break down on the lor-
ries, was thrown down and severely injured.
ACCIDENT A VOIDED.--An accident, which might
have been attended with serious consequences, occur-
red on the Ballymena Railway a few evenings since.
It appears that on the train reaching the junction the
Carrickfergus passengers were surprised by seeing the
engine, which should have been attached to their por-
tion of the train, passing on, and finding themselves
in a few minutes moving rapidly down the incline
towards Carrickfergus, without either on engine in
front, or the guard, or any other servant of the com-
pany in the train. At tirA they were not aware of
their peril, but soon after became alive to their un-
plea,ant situation. A young man, named APPerran,
one of the second-class passengers, climbed out of
the window to the roof at the risk of his life
—the speed being at least 30 miles an hour at the
time—and succeeded in getting the break put on
barely in time, otherwise the train might have run
into the houses at the end of the Carricktergus station.
We understand that a full investigation into the oc-
currence will take place, pending which the guard
has been suspended.
VIADUCT OVER TUE RIVER BOTNE.—It is in-
tended that the centre span of this monster bridge will
extend 250 feet, and the spans on either side 125 feet.
Its height over high-water mark will be 90 feet, to
allow vessels to pass to and from the quays of Drog-
heda. It had originally been contemplated that a
pathway would be formed for the public on the via-
duct; but it has been definitively settled upon that
such will not be the case. The structure must be
completed within 18 months from the time of declar-
ing the contract.

STRIKE AMONGST THE SEAMEN
OF THE NORTH.
SHIELDS, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.—We have been
visited to-day by a body of at least 2 000 seamen from
Sunderland, who are on strike. They demand s
standing wage of 4/. 104. a London coal trade voyage
during the winter months, 3/. 10.. during the summer,
and 31 a month and small stores foreign. At two
o'clock in the afternoon they met the Shields
menin the market-place, South Shields, forming a
formidable body of above 3,000 men. After stating
their grievances, the speakers proposed, and the meet-
ing adopted, resolutions condemnatory of the Mercan-
tile Marine Act, which the seamen say " tickets them
off like a parcel of Mexican slaves." After the meet-
ing the Sunderland men were escorted out of the
town by the Shields seamen without any disturbance.
This evening a large meeting, composed solely of
Shields men, has been held in the market-place, South
Shields, when it was resolved to join the Sunderland
men in standing out for 4/. 10 a voyage. They will
march over to Sunderland to-morrow to a large meet-
ing that is to be held on the Town-moor.
The great body of the men have been on strike in
the Wear since Saturday night. Two large meetings
have been held in Sunderland during the week, and,
though the men have been patrolling the streets, and
bands of them are watching the ships to see that now,
go on board at lower wages, there have been no acts
of violence or breaches of the peace.
Communications have been sent off to Hartlepool,
