THE CHURCH.

  Yesterday the Earl of BELMORE passed through this city for Lord CALEDON's residence.  His Lordship changed horses at WILTSHIRE's hotel.

NEWRY AND ENNISKILLEN RAILWAY.

  We understand WM. PATON and WM BLACKER, Esqrs., are noticed to attend in London to give general information in a Committee of the House of Commons relative to the merits of the Newry and Enniskillen Railway scheme, and more particularly that part of it between Newry and Armagh.  WM. DARGAN, Esq., the respectable railway contractor is also to go, whose general information on such subjects will be of great importance.  ROBT. M'ENDOW and WM. KIRK, Esqrs., have also been noticed.  The former gentleman's connection with the Ulster Steam Carrying Company, and knowledge and experience of the general traffic of Armagh and neighbouring towns will be most valuable; the latter gentleman will furnish information as to the advantages of this line to the bleachers on the Callon river, and the inhabitants of Keady.  We are almost quite certain that a Committee of the House of Commons will report favourably on this line, when a proper representation of its merits is laid before them, which the above gentlemen are eminently qualified to do.  The Newry committee have made a wise selection as far as Armagh is concerned.  The common sense of the inhabitants of both Newry and Armagh ought to be aroused and applied to this all-important branch, for both ought to regard it as a matter of the utmost importance--the carrying out this scheme.  It is a cause of regret that the inhabitants of Armagh have not been as active as their Newry neighbours in forwarding this undertaking.

ARMAGH POST OFFICE.

  WM. PATON, Esq., Seneschal of Armagh, has received the following letter from Colonel RAWDON, M.P., in answer to the memorial lately forwarded from this city, respecting the closing (of) the Post Office on Sundays :--
  General Post Office, 4th April, 1845.
   SIR,--The Postmaster-General has had under consideration the memorial forwarded by you, from the inhabitants of Armagh, praying that the Post Office at that place may be partially closed on Sundays, and his lordship commands me to acquaint you, that as it appears to be the general wish of the inhabitants, he has directed that the Armagh Post Office may be closed on Sundays, between the hours of 9 a.m., and 8 p.m., (the Letter-box being kept open as usual for the receipt of stamped and unpaid letters,) and that there be only one delivery by the letter carriers on that day, at 7 a.m.
  His lordship directs me however to add, that if any complaint is hereafter made on the subject of the change, the matter must be reconsidered.
   I am, Sir, your obedient, humble servant,
   THOMAS LAWRENCE.
   Colonel Rawdon, M.P.
   3, Great Stanhope-street, London.

  FAREWELL DINNER.--On Monday last, a number of the friends of Mr. James Alexander Henderson gave him a public entertainment, in the Newry Arms' Hotel, on the occasion of his departure from this town for the scene of his future public labors--Belfast.  At 6 o'clock, upwards of 30 Gentlemen, of all deno-minations--belonging chiefly to the mercantile and learned professions--sat down to dinner.  The viands included every rarity of the season—the whole served up in the very best style.  The wines, too, were excellent and in profusion.  It is not necessary to enter into a report of the after-dinner proceedings, particularly as the marked compliment thus conferred on their youthful guest, by so many of his respected townsmen, emanated entirely from feelings of esteem for his private and personal character.  It is sufficient to say, that the sentiments put forth and the speeches delivered were highly flattering to the individuals to whome [sic] principally they had reference.--Newry Telegraph.

  DARING ATTACK AND GALLANT RESISTANCE.--On Tuesday, about twelve o'clock at noon, six or seven armed men attacked William Ryan, Esq., of Ballymackeogh, near Newport, in the county of Tipperary, upon his own land, and severely beat him.  Mr. Ryan, on perceiving the assassins coming towards him, made to a small house to defend himself, the door of which they broke in, and a desperate conflict ensued.  Mr. Ryan fired his double-barrelled gun, and, it is believed, either shot or wounded some of them.  The party, however, by their numbers overpowered him, and beat and cut him in a desperate manner, and then retreated.  The Newport police having received information of the outrage, three of them accompanied by Carbery Scully, Esq., J.P., and Mr. Lewis, the active sub-inspector, pursued the ruffians, and after a chase of six miles, came up with them near Cappamore, in the county of Limerick, when a little battle ensued.  Six of their guns, and Mr. Ryan's double-barrelled gun were taken from them.  All the fellows are known and from near Nenagh.  Mr Scully the magistrate, Mr. Lewis and the police behaved most gallantly.  One of the police is dangerously wounded.  Mr. Ryan is out of danger.--D.E.
