   FATAL ACCIDENT.--On Thursday evening last, a poor fellow named Patt M'Clain, employed as a labourer at the Roman Catholic cathedral, now being built in this city, fell from the scaffolding and was dreadfully bruised. He was immediately conveyed to the County Infirmary, when he died in the course of an hour. An inquest was held next day by Thomas Dobbin, Esq., J.P., and a verdict returned accordingly. On Sunday the Rev. Mr. O'Brien made a moving appeal for the widow and orphans, which was nobly responded to, and a collection of £12 12s. 7d. taken up. This is a case worthy the sympathy of the humane and charitable ; and contributions are still thankfully received on her behalf by the reverend gentleman and Mr. Hugh Treanor, treasurers to the cathedral committee.

   MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.--On Saturday, 3d instant, as a carrier was passing up the main-street of Portadown, from the railway station, his cart shaft caught hold of the cloak of a respectable female, a Mrs. RAMSEY, about 65 years of age, and dragged her under one of the wheels, which passed over her skull. Head Constable GUTTRAGH (Lurgan) and the police, with Dr. BREDON, were immediately in attendance, but every effort of Mr. BREDON's skill proved unavailing. The sufferer who was forthwith removed to the house of Surgeon M'LOUGHLAN, who was most unremitting in his attention towards her until next day, when death put an end to her suffering. No blame can be attached to the carrier, who was walking at the head of his horse quietly along the street at the time.

   On the night of Tuesday, the 29th ult., a scutch mill, the property of Mr. WM. JACKSON, of Ballymagerney, near Loughgall, was burned to the ground. We understand that this is the third time it has been burned, and is supposed to be the work of an incendiary.

Kirk, Esqurs., leave this city for London to give testimony before the committee of the House of Commons, in favour of the Newry and Enniskillen Railway.

The noble Earl left again in the evening for Crom, accompanied by several of the gentry of the neighbourhood.
   ENNISKILLEN FAIR—The fair of this town was held on Saturday last, and was pretty well attended. Milch cows brought reasonable prices; but beef was not much sought after. Fat pigs were in good demand, and sold freely at advanced prices. Horses and sheep were stationery.
