These relate to the corresponding concepts/properties in MQ Series, for more details read the IBM documntation on MQ Series. In oversimplified terms:

• priority is the message priority - a number that indicates how important the message is
  
  sequence is simply a unique number of the message, but can also be used to unpack multi-part messages in the correct order
  
  correlation id is the identity of the message associated with the current one, for example the message to which the current one is a reply
  
  put date and time are when the current message was sent
  
  group id is an indicator of the fact that the current message belongs in a group of messages - all messages in this group have the same group id
  
  offset is a byte offset from the beginning of the message where the text begins
