DEATH OF MRS. DUNBAR.--This
distressing event took place at the Palace, Armagh, on Monday morning
last. The immediate cause of death was brain fever, brought on, it is
reported, by the shock occasioned by the sudden death of the late
Marquis of Waterford. Dr. Cuming was in instant attendance upon the
deceased lady, and Sir Henry Marsh had also been called in, but medical
skill proved unavailing. Mrs. Dunbar was the wife of George Dunbar,
Esq., of Woburn, and niece of his Grace the Lord Primate, to whom she
was much attached, and with whom she and Mr. Dunbar generally resided
for a good part of each year. By all who knew her, Mrs. Dunbar was much
esteemed for her gentleness and amiability, and much sympathy is felt
both for Mr. Dunbar and his Grace in the sad and sudden bereavement.
The funeral will take place on next Wednesday, and the remains are to
be interred at Woburn. The Messrs. Frizelle, of Armagh, have charge of
the funeral arrangements.--Newry Telegraph.
====================
It is said that the Rev. J. Flavelle, rector of Loughgall, and formerly tutor to the late Marquis of Waterford, is to get the parish of Mullabrack, vacant by the resignation of Lord ohn [sic] Beresford, now Marquis of Waterford.--Ulster Gazette. ================
PORTADOWN MONTHLY FAIR.--At our fair on Saturday last, which was well attended, we had a good display of all descriptions, prices were high, especially for dry cattle. The supply of pork was large and well disposed of. ================
TANDRAGEE MONTHLY FAIR, on Wednesday last, was unusually large. Black and milch cattle maintained their late high prices. Good springers and strippers were in brisk demand, and others of inferior quality met ready purchasers at their full value.--Young stock were also in lively request. Of pigs there was a large market. The demand for weaned suckers and young stores was very animated. High prices were offered for some pigs nearly ready for slaughtering. This fair is now becoming an important mart for the farmers and dealers in the neighbourhood, and is likely to increase rapidly. ================
TENANT-RIGHT.--At a sheriff's sale, by Wm. Hardy Eyg. [sic], under-sheriff of this county, held on 11th inst., £300 were given for the interest in a licensed house and sixteen acres of land, situate at the Annaghmore station of the Dungannon and Portadown Railway. ================
FREEMASONRY.--On Thursday evening some members of the Masonic body assembled in Mr. Harcourt's hotel, Tandragee, where they had invited Brother Thomas M'Dermott to partake of a supper, which was served up in good style. They took this opportunity of showing their respect for, and taking their leave of, Brother M'Dermott, who is about to emigrate to America. The health of the guest of the evening was received with all the honours. Several choice songs were sung during the evening. the following Nos. were represented by several members, 79, 105, 119, and 336. =================
THE DUKE OF MANCHESTER'S ESTATE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN WHIG SIR,--I have refrained
from sooner noticing the reports in your papers of the 22d and 20th
March of the proceedings at the Bluestone and Portadown meetings, in
order to give ample time for the "memorials" (mentioned in the
resolutions) "to be presented to his Grace;" but, finding they have not
yet been forwarded, I can no longer keep silent, and, therefore,
request you will have the goodness to give insertion to this letter in
your columns.
It is not true as stated in your reports, that " the country is at present in an excited state,"--that I, " or the other officials of the duke," used any influence, directly or indirectly, to prevent those who chose from attending the meetings--or that I, "circulated the false and malicious libel on that part of the country, that I was in the habit of receiving daily, or weekly, threatening letters, for the purpose of sheltering myself from the results of my official acts," &c. As to the case of Lavery (the only referred to) the facts are:--He paid, against arrears, &c., when he got occupation, in 1851 and 1852, the sum of £107. Legal proceedings were lately taken against him, there being two years' rent due, and on quitting possession he was allowed, in money and rent remitted, £137 4s., although he never made improvements in buildings or otherwise. He has since written to me, saying he omitted asking compensation for eighty- seven perches of drains he alleges he made, and for lime, most of which was put on the land seven or eight years ago. Further comment on this case I consider unnecessary. His statement that I was offered £15 an acre is untrue. It contains 18A. 3R. 3P., and is now being let to others at Lavery's rent, and for £5 per acre, by which his grace loses £43 9s. I beg to say I shall not reply to any further articles which may appear in your paper on this subject.-- Your obedient servant, J. S. O'BRIEN. Tandragee, 20th April, 1859. ===================
