REPEAL AGITATION

At a meeting of the Irish Conservative Peers and mem-
bers of parliament, held at the Earl of Wicklow's, on the
17th of June, 1843,
It was unanimously resolved—That this meeting deeply
deplores the present alarming state of Ireland.
That they consider the multitudinous assemblages now
taking place in various parts of -Ireland to be dangerous to
the public peace, and calculated to create well .founded
terror in the minds of her ✓Majesty's well-disposed subjects
of all classes in that country.

That in consequence, the Ordinary occupations of the popu-
lation are suspended, and the public mind kept in a state of
painful and dangerous excitement.

That under these circumstances the undersigned noblemen
and gentlemen feel it to be their duty to declare, individually
and collectively, their anxious desire and firm determination
to use their best exertions, in co-operation with her Majesty's
Government. for the purpose of upholding the law, preserv-
ing the public peace in that part of the United Kingdom,
and allaying that dangerous excitement to which they have
referred.

It turns out that several Irish Magistrates have been. re-
cently superseded in consequence of forged letters having
been addressed to the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, stating
that they wished to be added to the catalogue of "political
martyrs." In each case the names of the parties so misrep-
resented have been restored to the Commission.

We hate heard, on authority on which we feel disposed to
place reliance, that the government intend to apprehend
O'Connell, and have him tried for high treason, and that
their object in filling the country with troops is to preserve
the peace when such an occurrence may take place.—Derry
Standard.—Though we copy: this paragraph, we need not
say, we give it no credence.
Tit LAW: COURTS-MARTIAL.—The following, we are
informed, are the verdicts and sentences of the courts-mar-
tial held last week, for the purpose pf trying the soldiers of
the 15th regiment, accused of improper conduct in connexion
with the late attack upon the Ilanchester police ;7-rSerjeant
Lawrence Nolan, against whom there were three charges,
were acquitted on the first and third, and found guilty on the
second ; and was sentenced to be reduced to the rank and
pay of a private soldier. Privates James Rooney and Dennis
Tracey were found guilty, and each sentenced to four
months' imprisonment: and Privates James Bullock, James
Webb, and William Thorp, were acquitted.—Manchester
Guardian.

The epidemic amongst cattle is very pi evalent at present.
One gentleman, residing in the neighbourhood of Middleton,
county Cork, lost last week no less than seventeen head by
this disease.—Dublin Statesman.

MURDER AT BR:kV:GIL—On Monday, the sth instant, as
Andrew and Moffit, sons to Mr. William Moffit, of
Legacurry, were returning home from the fair of Befagh,
county Tyrone, they were attacked near the town, by two
brothers, of the name of Montieth. and others, who assisted
them in beating the Moffits in a most cruel and inhuman
manner. Andrew died the next day, and his brother lies
dangerously ill. The Montieths and Malts are neighbours,
and had some dispute in the fair, but the Montieths, not
being satisfied, raised a party to aid them, and attacked their
opponents. An inquest was held on the body of the de-
ceased, by Joseph Orr, Esq., coroner, when a verdict of
wilful murder was returned. Two persons were arrested and
committed to Omagh gaol, charged with being principals or
accessories.—Newry Telegraph.
13.3.tiV- qF igv.LAND.—At the general half-yearly meeting
of the Proprietors of Bank Stock, the Governor presiding, it
was stated in the report, " Thgt it is the opinion of this court
that a dividend of 4 per cent. hi; mqrie to the proprietors of
Bank Stock, for the half-year ending •;s4th nit." The Goyer7
nor then addressed the meeting and said, in making this
dividend the governor and directors announce with regret
that, to make it, a further reduction of the surplus fund, to
the extent of £13,000, will be necessary. The amount taken
front that fund last halt-year being, as then anticipated,
about £15,000, makes a reduction from the rest of about
£28,000. This deficiency has occupied the serious attention
of the governor and directors, but they have not thought it
expedient, at present, to recommend an alteration in the rate
of dividend. The report was adopted, and the meeting ad-
ourned.
