F. FITZPATRICK, Rector of Shercock, has been collated to the living of Bailieborough, in the room of the Rev. C. C. BERESFORD, deceased. This appointment gives entire and general satisfaction, and shows in a most favourable light the just discrimination of the Lord Bishop of Kilmore, for a more pure-minded and efficient clergyman he could not possibly select. The Rev. Mr. LOYD has succeeded to the Rectory of Shercock. PRESBYTERIAN MISSIONARY SOCIETY--A meeting of this society was held in the Presbyterian Chapel, Farnham-street, Cavan, on Tuesday evening. The Rev. Mr. KIRKPATRICK attended as a deputation from Dublin, and detailed in a clear and interesting speech the working and prospects of the society, and urged his hearers to more active exertions in behalf of the cause he advocated. The meeting was well attended, and all present were highly pleased with the proceedings. SUDDEN DEATH--On the night of Monday last, the wife of a farmer named M'GOVERN, within a mile and a-half of this town, suddenly took ill after retiring to bed, when she called to her husband for a drink, and having received it, gave him a blessing, and reclined herself in an apparent position for repose. About the hour of one or two o'clock it was ascertained that she had been getting worse; spiritual and medical aid were sent for; but ere any assistance could be given, the woman expired. She had been in the possession of good health for some time previous, and was in the best of spirits on that evening. ASSAULT AND RESCUE--We have been favoured with the particulars of an attempt to seize upon the crops of a tenant by R. M. HASSARD, Esq., for rent, under an affirmation decree, and of a subsequent rescue and assault by the country people. We are aware of the bad feeling that has long existed between Mr. HASSARD and his tenants, and are averse to meddling in such matters; but our duty, as a public journalist, compels us to give a condensed account of the present transaction. On Friday last, Mr. HASSARD, who resides in Bailieborough, proceeded with his son and two bailiffs to the lands of Shancock to execute an affirmation decree on the goods of a tenant named Owen CLARKE for the amount of a year's rents due at November, 1847. The seizure was made upon a field of oats in the stook; but no sooner was it acomplished than a number of labourers gathered and drove off Mr. HASSARD's party, threatening them with greater violence should they return. Mr. HASSARD then went to Capt. WILCOX, R.M., who granted warrants for the ringleaders. In his absence a Mr. JACKSON, a receiver under the court, laid a seizure upon the same field for the sum of £15, due by CLARKE to him also for rent. It appears CLARKE held two farms--one from Mr. HASSARD and one under the courts; the former he did not till this year, but the latter he did. When Mr. HASSARD went to look for his rent he was obliged there to seize upon the crop grown on the second farm, which Mr. JACKSON would not suffer to be removed until his demand was satisfied. The rioters having been apprehended on Saturday were bound over to take their trials at the ensuing quarter sessions. On Monday Mr. HASSARD returned with his men to complete the seizure and remove or sell the oats. When he appeared on the ground, CLARKE's friends, who had been on the look- out, assembled, and marching into the field, two deep, armed with pitchforks, reaping hooks, &c., declared they would resist the seizure. Mr. HASSARD, however, persisted in his intentions, when a scuffle or fight ensued, that at one time was very alarming. Mr. HASSARD received a stab of a pitchfork in the side, which was happily warded off by a parcel of gunpowder and some flints he had about him. He also received a blow of a billhook, which perforated his coat, glancing down sideways without doing further injury. The bailiffs were cut and bruised, one of them receiving a serious wound in the back of the head. Mr. HASSARD was urged by some of his party to discharge a brace of pistols he carried, but was dissuaded by his son, a boy of seventeen years of age. At this stage Mr. HASSARD and his men beat a retreat to Bailieborough, hotly pursued by their opponents. The police immediately went in quest of the rioters, eighteen or twenty of whom they arrested between that and next morning, many of whom were amongst those who had entered recognizances on the previous Saturday. We have been supplied with their names, but we have not space to give them insertion. Another curious circumstance connected with this affair remains to be told. The oats which was in disp ute, and which Mr. JACKSON held for his demand, was carried off at night by a large body of people, while he slept. This was done with such silence and agility that no noise was heard, nor was there the slightest trace of the oats to be found in the morning, although there had been £40 worth in the field on the preceding night. The above are the particulars as they have been forwarded to us; we cannot vouch for their authenticity, but we believe them to be in the main correct. OLDCASTLE UNION--(From a Correspondent)--At a meeting of the Oldcastle Board of Guardians, held on the 22nd instant, Mr. LANGEN, lately a colour-sergeant in the army, and an Englishman, was appointed to the situation of Master of the Workhouse; and Mr. FORSYTHE, a pensioner, was appointed to the situation of Porter.
