ANGLO-CELT JULY 27, 1854 DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF KILMORE This week, we feel regret at having to announce the death of the Right Rev. John LESLIE, D.D., Lord Bishop of Kilmore, Elphin, and Ardagh, which occurred at Kilmore Palace, about twelve o'clock on Saturday last, the 22nd, from a very severe attack of crysipelas in the head. His lordship was in the eighty-second year of his age, and was consecrated Bishop of Dromore in 1812--translated to Elphin in 1819-- and, under the Church Temporalities Bill, took possession of Kilmore in 1841. By his death there will be a considerable accession to the revenue of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, his successor having to pay a large per centage of his income, from which the late Bishop was exempt, and there will also be a saving of the sum the board had to pay to equalize the income of Kilmore with that of Elphin. His successor will have to pay a charge to his executors of £13,000 for building the see house, the late Bishop having been made, by a special act of Parliament, to stand in the position of builder. His lordship was a most worthy prelate and much respected by his clergy. _____________________________________________________________ Lord Farnham arrived on Saturday last, at his delightful residence, Farnham house. We were delighted to see that his Lordship and Lady Farnham were looking remarkable well, and what we have heard of them since confirms us in the impression which appearance produced. ACCIDENT AT CAVAN CHURCH--On Tuesday last a part of the scaffolding, used in the additions that are being made to our church, gave way, and two men, NUGENT and REILLY, were thrown from a height of about sixty feet. They were at once conveyed to our county infirmary, where it was ascertained that NUGENT's leg was fractured, and that REILLY was very little injured. He has gone out of the establishment and NUGENT is recovering well. ______________________________________________________________ CAVAN MILITIA--The Marquis of Headford, Lieutenant of this county, has been pleased to appoint Thomas G. J. PHILLIPS, Esq., of Glenview, to a Lieutenancy in the Cavan militia, vice John GUMLEY, Esq., resigned. REJOICINGS IN BALLYHAISE--On Monday night last the Rev. John MATHEWS returned to Ballyhaise, after a months absence, quite restored to health. It was eight o'clock when he returned, and yet the parishioners, all in a moment, assembled, and collected materials or a very fine pyramid fire, the blaze of which, our correspondent tells us was "awfully grand." Not a pane of glass in the town was illuminated; Mr. A. of this sect vied with Mr. B. of that; Mr. C. the radical emulated Mr. D., the tory, in showing by their demonstrations the attachment they felt towards their old pastor. Messrs. GILLIS and PRUNTY regaled the multitude with spirits and ale, after which all retired in good order, having first satisfied themselves with dancing to the tune of "You're welcome home, my darling." THE WEATHER--THE CROPS--For the last four days nothing could be more propitious than the weather. Dry, sunshiny days, in a haymaking, fruit-growing are all that could be desired, and the people in our neighbourhood are taking advantage of them.... _______________________________________________________________ COURT FOR RELIEF OF INSOLVENT DEBTORS IN IRELAND-- David BROWN, late of Latt, in the county of Cavan, labourer.
