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 occa sioned 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.

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 my- self 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 pos- session 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 of- fered £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.
