FOREIGN .5- COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE WEST INDIES. The royal mail steam-ship Severn arrived at Falmouth on Monday. She brings dates from Tampico to the 29th of September. Vera Cruz to the Ist of October, Havan nah the 9th, Nassau the 13th, and Bermuda the 22nd, seven passengers, 1,005,475 dollars, 166 serons of cochi neal. She brings also important rews of the British-flag being insulted by Santa Anna. The dates run respectively as follow :—Jamaica, October 9 ; Barbadoes, October 4 ; Demerara, October 4 ; and Trinidad, October 3. The crops in all these islands, with the exception of Barba does, where complaints are made of the want of rain, ap pear to give favourable promise. At Demerara the plan tation Malgr'e Tout had sold for 114,000 dollars. The firm of Hamilton and Co., of Dublin,were the purchasers. The biddings on this occasion are said to have been spirited, and indicative of improvement. A new manure has been discovered in a cave at Dry Harbour, consisting of the excrement and refigure of bats, covering to a considerable depth, a very extensive surface. It has been analyzed, and is like .y to prove, from the chemical nature of its ingredients, a valuable commodity. Whilsto'n the subject of agriculture, we may advert to a case of Immigration, in which Mrs. Carter, of Troy Plantation, Trelawny, has acted a very distinguished and exemplary part, having imported and located on her pro perty thirty Europeans, and applied their labour, for eighteen months, most successfully. The immigrants have retained their health during that period, and are now comfortably and permanently settled. The lady in ques tion has obtained the bounty in such case provided by the Legislature: We may here notice a report which is gaining ground in this city, that the Government intend removing the greater number of the regular troops from the several West India island, proposing at the same time to place the miiitia under more strict and military discipline. NEW SOUTH WALES Their lordships came into court at twenty minutes past three o'clock, at which time the inner and outer bars were unusually crowded. The Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General, Messrs. Brewster, Freeman, White side, M'Donogh, and several others of the counsel re tained in the prosecutions, were in court. At half-past three o'clock the grand jury came into court, and handed down the bill. The Clerk of the Crown read aloud— self and fellows—George Frederick Brooke." One of the Jurors—My lord, I beg to express my dis sent from that bill. The Chief Justice—What is your name? Juror—My name is Richard O'Gorman. The Attorney-General—My lords, I have now to move that the defendants be called upon by their recognisances to appear. Clerk of the Crown—Crier, call Daniel O'Connell. Mr. P. Mahony said that Mr. O'Connell would be there in a few minutes, but the court was so crowded that it was next to impossible to get either into or out of it. The Rev. T. Tierney, C. G. Duffy, and T. M. Ray having answered to their names, Thomas Steele was called. Mr. Steele rose. and, after one or two ineffectual at tempts to arrest the attention of the Court, he proceeded to speak as follows :—My lords, I stand before your lord ships in a peculiar position—one differing from that of the other traversers, as I, my lords, intend to defend myself on the present occasion, as I successfully did on a former trial, and I strongly object to be prosecuted by the present Attorney-General. (Loud laughter.) It is no laughing matter ; it is a matter closely connected with the due administration of public justice. I object to the Attorney-General, for he has manifestly prejudged my case, while the jury was sitting in consideration on it. I do net now speak for the rest of the traversers, nor do I know what their wishes are, but for myself I sincerely hope that he will have the sense of propriety, or I should rather, perhaps, say, the common decency, to retire from his functions in the present case, and leave me to be pro secuted by his highly-gifted, patient, and well-tempered colleague, the Solicitor-General. (Mr. Steele resumed his seat amid peals of laughter.) Mr. O'Connell, accompanied by his son, Mr. John O'Connell, here entered the court, and was accommoda ted with a seat at the side bar. All the traversers having answered to their names, The Attorney-General said—l have now to apply to your lordships, the defendants having appeared, to order that they do plead within four days from the present. The 60th Geo. 111., cap. 4, see. 1, expressly provides to that effect; and I beg to refer your lordships to an exact precedent in a case which came before this court in Ja nuary, 1831, in which a similar order was made—l allude to the King v. O'Connell. The Chief Justice—What is the condition of the re cognisances? The Attorney. General—lt is to appear in person. In pursuance of the recognisances entered into by them they have all appeared, and now I call on them to plead in the time I have specified, in pursuance of the 60th Geo. 111., which enacts, " that when any person shall be prosecuted in the Court of Queen's Bench for any misdemeanour, either by information or indictment, there found, or re- i moved into the said court, and shall appear in term time in such court to answer such indictment, &c., such de fendant shall not be permitted to imparl to a following term, but shall be required to ple a d or d emur th ere t o A general registry u n d er th e new arms ac t w ill t a k e place at the ensui ng quar t er sess i ons th roug h ou t I re l an d. within four days f r o m th e ti me o f hi s appearance , an d i n default of his so pleading, &c., judgment may be entered The extensive boltin g mill s o f B a ll ynona, near Middle against him for wan t o a plea."

The chief items in which the falling off occurred were imported spirits, im ported tobacco, post-office collection, and auction duty and licenses. Before the arrival of the Liberator, Mr. CLEMENTS, in an eloquent speech, moved the fol lowing resolution on the subject of the O'Connell Com pensation Fund : Resolved—That the Loyal National Repeal Association hold it a paramount duty, at this moment, to apply all its weight and influence to the suceessful furtherance of the National Collection for the O'Connell Compensation Fund, fixed for Sunday, the 19th instant : on that occa sion the Members and Associates of this National Body are especially expected to co-operate personally and ener getically with the respected and patriotic Clergy of their several parishes, in securing results for this imperative measure worthy of the crisis and the cause. Dr. GRAY seconded the resolution, which, after a few words from Mr. Steele, was carried amidst the loudest acclamation. " A True Bill for The SOUND.—The number of ships that passed the Sound in August, 1843, was 2,369, viz,—From the North 1,198; from the Baltic, 1,171. Of these the English were, 635, viz.—from the North Sea, 390 ; from the Baltic, The Paris correspondent of the London Standard states, that there will take place, in the course of the en suing month, an extraordinary creation of peers. The list is already decided upon, and presents no fewer than twenty-four names. A very lengthy address to the people of Ireland, signed " Daniel O'Connell," was agreed to. It exhorts the people to judge calmly of the position in which Ireland is at present placed, and represents the giorious results that are to flow from a repeal of the union. It deprecates the idea of any intention on the part of the repealers to esta blish Catholic ascendancy, in such language as the follow ing : SPEED OF AMERICAN STEAMERS.—The steamers that ply between Kingston and Montreal, when passing through the Cedar Rapids, runs at the rate of sixty miles an hour! The new steamer Knickerbocker, made her first trip from New York to Albany (160 miles) in seven hours and 33 minutes. " A Catholic religious ascendancy is, if possible, more easily demonstrated to be futile. In the first place, the very principle of the repeal of the union would allocate to purposes of charity and education the ecclesiastical state revenues as each of the present vested interests should terminate. The value of a state church ascendancy is to get at the state revenues, and, as those revenues would, as they fell in, go to the state for ascertained pur poses of education and charity, there would be nothing to make the Catholic hierarchy desire an ascendancy for their religion over any other. The money being disposed of, the ingredient of ascendancy 'could be blotted out for ever. The New York papers contain accounts from the San - wich Islands, which state that Admiral Thomas had ar rived at Honolulu, when he had annulled all the acts of Captain Lord Paulet. They have also a notice from Senor Granja, Mexican Consul-General there, that by decree of the Mexican government the frontier custom houses of Taos in New Mexico, Paso del Norte and Pre sidio del Norte in Chihuahua, were entirely closed to commerce. MARRIAGE OF THE EMPEROR OF BRAZIL. —This event took place on the 4th of September last, at Rio de Janeiro • the Brazilian-Neapolit an squa d ron h av i ng ar rived the day before from Naples. Rio de Janeiro was very gay on the occasion ; for, having been some time looked for, almost all the respectable people in the empire bad congregated to partake in the festivities and general rejoicing. The city was illuminated at night, and fire works resounded through and bespangled the sky. Her majesty's brother accompanied his sister ; and the Princess Januaria, the emperor her brother. People began to her princely wedding taking place.— " In the second place Catholic ascendancy would be ut. terly impossible—for this reason, the Irish Legislature would be, two parts out of three, essentially Protestant. It is true that a majority in the House of Commons might be Catholic; but there necessarily would be a very great number of Protestants in that house. The Corporations of -Ireland, having Catholic majorities, have returned almost all the liberal Protestants who sought to be elected. Besides, the Protestant portions of Ireland would return Protestants. On the whole, therefore, no measure inju rious to Protestants could possibly pass the House of Commons unless the Catholics in that house were false— basely and shamefully false—to the principles they have ever avowed; and even then no such measure could pass that house without a vivid resistance from all the Pro testant members, and from all the Catholic members, who were liberal and conscientious. In short we are deeply convinced that any Catholic ascendancy measure would be, of necessity, rejected by a majority of the Irish House of Corn mous." speculate on ano Globe. The packet-ship Switzerland, brings dates from New York to the 22d of October. The commercial advices possess no peculiar novelty. The stocks were rather heavy. The return of Mr. Ryan, one of the Illinois commissioners, to Europe, is announced in the papers now received, and great satisfaction expressed that he had succeeded in the object of his mission for raising funds to complete the Illinois and Michigan canal. The acces sion of Messrs. Barings, Hope, and Co., Maigniac Jar dine and Co., and Rothschild to the proposals made, was accompanied, however, with certain conditions which have to be ratified and carried into effect by the Governor of the state of Illinois. In the meantime those houses have agreed to advance 121 per cent. on the canal bonds held by themselves, and on fulfilment of the conditions refer red to 191 per cent. more. It may be noted, however, that probably not a cent. of the 121 per cent. will be so advanced until the agent they have sent out shall have reported. For the rest the compact of these houses is not pretended to be binding on the other holders of these canal bonds. But they reserve the option to themselves of hereafter registering canal bonds t o eight tim es the The amount of rent was upwards of thirteen hundred pounds. A deputation of the Law Clerk of Dublin waited upon Mr. O'Connell to-day, and presented an address to Mr. O'Connell, accompanied with £lOO, to help to defray the expenses of the approaching prosecu tions ; the deputation, who were received most cordially, intimated to the learned gentleman, that they intended contributing a further sum tor the same purpose. amount of their actual subscription. That is, should they see an advantage to be obtained they would purchase in the market bonds held by those not parties to the pre sent scheme, and so increase their interest. The certifi cates representing the new advances are of course and of right to take precedence in the order of payment of the original canal bonds. 100 men ALES IRE L AND. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH-MONDAY r From our Second Edition of Tuesday. last.) The court was crowded to excess all day, it being un derstood that Mr. Barrett's counsel would move for a mandamus to compel the magistrates of College-street Police Office to take the informations tendered against Mr. Hughes, the government reporter. Mr. M`Donagh, Q.C. made the application, and argued at great length in support of his motion. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed the motion, be cause he believed it was not made bow' . fide, but to pre judice the administration of justice. He did not wish to oppose an investigation, but to prevent the present ac cused parties being sent before the grand jury as witnesses before they had either ignored or found the present bills; when they had done either one or the other he had no objection to a bill being sent up against Hughes, and that his original information might then be sent up, but he earnestly entreated the public not to allow their minds to be poisoned beforehand. (The learned gentle man was much excited in tone and manner.) The Court finally ordered bills to be sent up against Hughes when the present bills against the traversers were disposed of. The grand jury adjourned shortly before five o'clock. Only one witness was examined, Mr. Vernon, and it is not likely that he will be up again. Not a single member has been absent on any day from its sitting to its rising. It is impossible that a finding can be had before Wednesday. WEDNESDAY. The court was very much crowded throughout the day, as it was generally rumoured that the city grand jury had brought their labours to a close. Messrs. Steele, Ray, Duffy, and others included in the state prosecutions, were in attendance.

Independent of the value evidently attached by Mr. O'Connell to delay, we can well imagine the im portance his legal agents would attach to getting posses sion of the list of documents submitted to the Grand Jury:; and still more of the names of witnesses tendered for their•examination, and sworn to give evidence, when called—and it is, therefore, that the Attorney-General felt bound to resist—a motion that would have the •effect of laying bare to the traverse& agents the whole case of the Crown. These motions were postponed until Satur day. On Saturday Mr. Whiteside, on behalf of the defend ant, Charles G. Duffy, moved, that the copy , of the in dictment furnished to this defendant should be amended, by having the names of the witnesses endorsed upon it. The A ttorney-General opposed the motion, on the ground that the indorsement formed no part of the in dictment. The Court refused to grant the application. Mr. M`Donough, Q.C., moved for a copy of the caption to be added to the copy of the indictment furnished to his client. The Attorney-General opposed the motion, and Sir Coleman O'Loughlin arose to speak in its favour. The Court, however, adjourned the further discussion till Monday (yesterday). ir. (From our Second Edition of Tuesday last.) Dunus, Nov. 6th, Half-past 8 o'clock, p.m The following are the proceedings this day at the CONCILIATION HALL. LOYAL NATIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The usual weekly meeting of the Association took place this day in the Conciliation Hall, which was crowded in every part. The chair was filled by P. Lalor, Esq., of Tinnekill, ex-M.P. for the Queen's County. THE TRIBUTE BRUTAL MURDER.—On Wednesday a caretaker be longing to James Grove White, of Kilburn, Doneraile, I Esq., named Lockwook, was placed on the lands where tenants of Mr. White were in arrear, and who he was afraid would remove their crops, and that on Wednesday evening Lockwood went out to inspect the grounds, to see that the crops had not been, taken off. Nothing further was known of him until the following day, when his corpse was discovered in a ditch. The skull was com pletely beaten in, besides wounds on several parts of the body.—Cork Constitution. THE STATE PROSECUTIONS.—The indictment against the repeal leaders embraces a period of nearly nine months —commencing with the meeting. At Trim, on the 19th of March, 1843 ; and, travelling through the other mon ster meetings in the following series, viz. :—At Mullingar, on the 14th of May ; at Cork, on the 21st of May ' • at Longford, on the 28th of M a y ; a t D rog h e d a , on the sth of June; at Kilkenny, on the Bth of June ; at Mallow, on the 11th of June •, at Dundalk, on the 29th of June ; at Donnybrook, on the 3d of July • at Baltinglass, on the 20th of July ; at Clontibret, on the 15th of August ; at Tara, on the 15th of August ; at Lougbrea, on the 10th of September; at Clifton. on the 17th of September; at Lismore, on the 24th of September; at Mullaghmast, on the Ist of October. It like w is e charges the defend ants with a conspiracy to hold the meeting at Clontarf, on the Bth of October ; and includes several meetings at the Corn Exchange. THE CONSPIRACY.—UnwiIIing to " predicate the guilt of the parties charged," or prejudice the public mind against them, we dismiss their case entirely from consideration, and turn our exclusive attention to that tar more important disclosure of which we have, in the speech of the Attorney-General, the first authentic intimation made by any member of the Irish government—namely, the portentous reason for the great and resistless arma ment with which the country is filled, and the sudden, prompt, and decisive suppression of such public meetings as that intended at Clontarf. We now learn, on official authority, what was long a matter of the clearest inference indeed—but to the public at large, of inference only—the existence in Ireland of " As wicked a conspiracy as ever yet was entered into against the peace of the country." This statement, coming from such a quarter, and on such an occasion, implies the discovery of the conspiracy on such sure information, as enables the government to counteract its devices, and to bring its contrivers and in struments to public justice.—Dublin Mail. STATE OF FEELING AMONGST THE PEASANTRY OF TIPPERARY AND LIMERICK.—A writer in the Carlow Sentinel, who has been sojourning for a month in the counties of Tipperary and Limerick, for the purpose of ascertaining the feelings of the peasantry on the momen tous events that are now passing in the political world, states as the result of his conviction, that "in these counties there is not the least mystification in the declara tions of the lower orders. They told me confidently (he adds) that the time had come for the total downfall of Protestantism and English rule, and for the consequent restoration of the forfeited estates; and in these expecta tions they are fortified by old legendary prophecies of the most wild and sanguinary description. The restoration of the forfeited estates is their darling theme on every oc casion, and the final expulsion of all the Protestant sects, without distinction, is looked upon by them as a neces sary step to the full enjoyment of ' Ireland by the Irish.' There cannot be a doubt that an ultimate appeal to rebel lion is cherished as a certainty by the peasantry, that they are regularly made up for it, and speak of it, without the least disguise, as " only a question of time.' In several instances they regretted deeply that O'Connell should have MR.

Affrays have taken place between the men of Dr. Quarry and those of Mr. Wilson, who were keeping possession of the upper rooms, and the ma gistrates have been frequently engaged in hearing charges of assault, threats, and rescues for the last month. On Saturday, about two o'clock, Mr. Wilson left town on the Charleville coach, leaving two fellows named Carroll in charge of the rooms which he held, and after seven, Mr. George Foster Delany joined them. Shortly after eight o'clock Dr. Quarry and some men attempted to go up stairs to see if all was right, when the former was met near the top by Thomas Carroll, who opposed his going up, and a scuffle ensued, when Carroll called out to his brother Denis to bring a blunderbuss, which being done, he pre sented it at Dr. Quarry, but it missed fire ; he then caught it by the butt end, and struck the Doctor on the head and shoulders, by which he was knocked down the flight of stairs. Then Donoghue, one of the assistants of the Doctor, came up, but got a tremendous blow from a sharp instrument, which knocked him down, and rendered him for a time insensible ; when he recovered lie saw Carroll striking Dr. Quarry on the head with a " saw buckle." The rest of the party seeing the Doctor so brutally used made an attempt to go up, when Carroll fired down on them, but hit no one. Smith, the apprentice, went down to the office and brought up a large pistol, which he dis charged at Carroll without effect, when the fire from the top was quickly returned, but fortunately without effect. Crowds of persons were now collected outside the mill, attracted by the report of shots, and Dr. Quarry being brought down to the store, a messenger went to the King street station for the police, when constable Daniel Cud more went to the residence of Captain White, J. P., who immediately came to the mills with a party of the police force. Captain White, Cudmore, and O'Connell, then went up stairs, when they saw Thomas Carroll with a blunderbuss presented and loaded, and Dennis Carroll a sword in his hand, and Mr. Delany, all three of whom they arrested. Dr. Harris, who lives opposite, being sent for, came over, and at this time Dr. Quarry was Quite sensible, remarking to Dr. Harris, that he feared he was very much injured, that his right arm was broken, and that his head was very painful ; he then desired himself to be placed on a bed, which being shortly done, he be came quite insensible, in which state he remained that night, and all Sunday, when he expired at seven o'clock. He has left a widow and five young children. An inquest was held on the following day, when the following verdict was returned, " We find that Dr. Michael Quarry came by his death on Saturday, the 4th November, 1843, in consequence of wounds inflicted by Thomas and Denis Carroll, George Forster Delaney being present, aiding and assisting thereat." These three persons were then handcuffed and sent to gaol, and Mr. John Wilson has also been arrested as an accessary before the fact, and sent to Bridewell.—Cork Paper.
