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 May ; at Drogheda, 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 likewise 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. NEWMAN'S SUCCESSOR.—The Provost and Fel-

blishment for a debt due by Mr. Wilson, and three of the
men in the employment of Dr. Quarry were special bai-
liffs in the attachment. 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.
