IRELAND,

THE IRISH MLIAITIA.—A circular has been addressed
to the colonels of the Irish Militia, preparatory to the en-
rolling and training of that force. Thirty thousand are
to be enrolled; about 6,000 will be embodied next spring,
and it is supposed that 15,000 will be called out for tram-

ing this present autumn.
THE LATE RALLWAZr ACCIDENT.—In a letter, dated.
" Florence-court, Sept. 19," the Earl of Enniskillen refer-
ring to the accounts of the late outrage, denies that the
" expeditlbn was entirely of a party and Orange charac-
ter. In the first place, he says, there were neither flags,
ribands, nor music ; had such been used, he would have
taken no part in the :affair. Secondly, one-half of the ex-
cursionists were not Orangemen it was composed of
every Protestant denomination, the gentry? merchants,

and ✓inhabitants of Enniskillen and its neighbourhood.
The visit to Derry was in return for one paid to thetown
of Enniskillen on the opening of the railway between the
two towns, and "occasioned by those feelings of ancient
connexion and friendship which have been preserved for
centuries between Derry and Enniskillen. The Earl
further pleads that his chief reason for accompanying the
" expedition " was to prevent any display of party feeling
on the occasion. A correspondent of the Dublin .Evening
Mail, writing from Enniskillen on the 19th, maintains
that there is but one opinion there, and in the county of
Tyrone, on the nature of the recent outrage, and it IS
liis—" That it was a deeply-laid conspiracy to send 700
or 800 Protestants to au untimely grave. We had not
'et here in the morning an hour when it was broadly
r.sserted through town that we would not all return as we
went. Every precaution was used along the line by the
railway company, except sending a pilot engine: The
man who was killed well knew that some trap would be'
very

aid for us ; and, conjecturing where, was going at

slow Irate when he met with the obstruction. An ordinaiy
train ,passed about 40 minutes before us, all right. None
of our party displayed flags, banners or colours, kit we
were Protestants, and that was enough. I saw Lord
Enniskillen yesterday. He is confined to bed, of course,
but going on as favourably as his best friends could wish.
Mr. Younger is able to walk about; the two enginemen
who were conveyed to Derry are still alive, but one whose
leg was amputated is, from loss of blood, in a most
critical position." The Lords Justices have issued a pro-
clamation, offering a reward of £2OO for the apprehension
of the parties who maliciously placed several large stones
on the line of railway between Enniskillen and London-
derry, near Trillie. The coroner and several of the magis-
trates are still investigating into the facts connected with
the outrage. Mr. IVl`Kenna, of the Crown Solicitor's-office,
has arrived in Trillic, by order of the government, to assist
in the investigation. The Londonderry Standard of
Saturday contains the following additional particulars ;
"The evidence against the prisoners is, generally speaking,
that of their having used threats towards the Protestant
excursionists, and hinted at the catastrophe which would
happen on their return from Londonderry. Evidence of
such language having been made use of by them was given'
at the inquest by a woman who, sitting knitting in a field,
chanced to overhear their conversation. It appears that
for many months past the most bitter feelings of enmity
have been entertained by the navvies against the Protes-
tants of Ballinamallard, Trillic, Enniskillen, &c. Rows
have at various times taken place, and on the'l2th of July,
1853, they threatened to pull down the church of Ballina-
mallard and destroy the entire town if Orange flags were
hoisted on the sacred edifice. On that occasion, the com-
motion was so great that an extra force of constabulary
had to be called in to preserve the public peace. Threats
of vengeance have since been repeatedly uttered by the
navvies, and the worst possible feeling has existed between
them and the people of the district. On Tuesday, Lord
Claud Hamilton, Charles Eccles, Esq., J. Vesey, Esq., and
some other local magistrates, attended the inquest, in order
to render any assistance which their experience of the
people might enable them to give the coroner. By dint of
laborious exertion, the two engines have been raised from
the bottom of the embankment. A temporary line of rail
was laid, in an oblique direction, along the face of the
slope, by which means the engines were drawn up to the
main line, and brought it to the workshop at the Derry'
terminus. It is expected they will he ready for their usual
VA IA it kw bpi'.
