OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

" We regard the work before us, "‘ The Silent Friend,' as a
work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com-
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know.
We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend,
but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffer-
ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."

" The Authors of ' The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly
conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to
those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot
fail to recommend it to a careful perusai."—Era.

OPENING OF NOVEMBER TERM.
DUBLIN, Nov. 2.—Very different was the scene
presented in the Queen's Bench this day from that
which had been witnessed at the opening of the last
November term. Then the monster prosecution was
impending, the Crown lawyers were preparing to
open the campaign, the country was to be astounded
with the "awful conspiracy," and the Crown agents
were managing the jury lists.
What a change has since occurred ! The judgment
against the State prisoners reversed, the Crown pro •
secutors foiled and defeated, now keep aloof from pub-
public observation in the Hall; and Mr. O'Connell
triumphing over his prosecutors, is hunting with his
beagles in the Kerry mountains.
There was no change whatever to-day amongst the
judges. The rumours on this subject were entirely
unfounded.

The Term was opened about one o'clock, with the
usual formalities. There were not many mere spec-
tators, who usually attend on similar occasions.
The Lord Chancellor held a bar levee this morning
at his house in Stephen's-green, which was attended
by all the judges, the Attorney and Solicitor-General,
and the leading members of the bar.

,

His Lordship took his seat on the bench, and the fol-
lowing gentlemen were called to the bar, having been

NEW QUEEN'S COUNSEL.—The following gentlemen
were called to the inner bar :
Isaac Butt, Esq. ; A. Edward Gayer, Esq. ; Henry
George Hughes, Esq. ; Boyle Keller, Esq. ; John
George, Esq. ' • George Battershy, Esq., LL.D. ; Mathew
Baker, Esq. ; Joseph Radcliffe, Esq., Judge of the Con-
sistorial Court.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENOIT.
Mr. Justice Perrin took his seat on the bench about
half-past twelve o'clock. and the gentlemen about to be
called to the bar took the usual oaths before him.

MS LORDSHIP intimated to one of the gentlemen
whose name appeared in the list (Mr. Long, of Pem-
broke-street), that although he was then sworn, he was
not to be called until Wednesday next, and added that
on that day the benchers would consider a memorial
sent in by him.
Christopher Nelson Duffe, Esq., was sworn into the
office of Clerk of the Rules, in the room of Patrick Cos-
tello, Esq., retired on full salary, pursuant to the late Act
7 and 8 Vic.

W►n. Chr. Knox, Esq., was sworn in Assistant-Clerk
of the Rules, under the same Act.

Mr. Justice PERRIN congratulated both gentlemen, in
highly complimentary terms, on their appointment.
FEDERALISM—MR. O'CONNELL.
'The following letter has been addressed to the
Kerry Examiner, by Mr. O'Connell :
" Darrynane Abbey, Oct. 30, 1844.
" Sir,—l have read your article in yesterday's
Examiner, headed' Federalism,' and I feel very much
obliged to you for the civil and kind things which you
have said of me in that article. To be sure I have been
working for upwards of forty years in the popular cause;
and though I have often opposed the popular sentiment
for a time; one way or other the people have ultimately
come round to my opinion, and such temporary dis-
agreement has only tended to augment the public confi-
dence.

" If there be any difference of opinion between me and
the people at large on the present occasion, which I am
not disposed to believe, yet the time is not come when
any explanations can be given or received, for this sim-
ple reason—that up to the present moment there is no
plan of federalism before the public. The federalists
have been invited to declare themselves in precise and
specific terms—they have not as yet done so; when they
shall have declared themselves it will be the duty of
every public man, whether at the press or as connected
with the Association, to declare fully and freely his sen-
timents upon that plan.
"At !present those 14 ho assail federalism assail the
creature of their own imagination, without, however, in
general going so far as you facetiously have done, by
converting a federal Lord-Lieutenant or speaker into
an auction bellman; a transformation that may easily
account for your hostility to federalism in the abstract.
" My object, at present, is to set you right as to some,
matters of pre-existing fact. In order that you may
understand me, I subjoin the following passage from your
article. I take up the paragraph with the following
words:—' We have been robbed of our nationality, and
we, repealers, demand its restoration in all its pre-
existing amplitude.'
Then, to show your notion of the pre-existing
amplitude' of our former Parliament, you may add these
words:—
" A Parliament sitting in Ireland, to govern only the
affairs of Ireland, and not daring to think of matters of
imperial policy, would be converting Ireland into one
great borough, and constituting our Parliament a muni-
cipal corporation on a large scale—that is not the sort of
Parliament secured to us in 1782?
" Now, see how you mistake—how totally you mistake
the fact—that was precisely the Parliament secured to
us in 1782.

BEST METHOD OF PROTECTING
BUILDINGS FROM LIGHTNING.
Were our houses, magazines,
and ships, built of
iron, or did they consist of a framework of iron
filled up with stone, brick, or wood, they might bid
defiance to the ravages of accidental or wilful fire,
as well as to all the lightning of the tropics. Strike
WhCre it might, the deadly fluid would be conducted
quietly to the ground. In the meantime, however,
we must have recourse to a less perfect sy3tem of
protection, till advancing knowledge and receding
prejudice shall have introduced iron buildings, and
iron ships, as well as iron ploughs, iron roads, and
iron bridges. As the conducting powers of lead, tin,
iron, zinc, and copper, are as the numbers, 1-2--
2.4-4 and 12, copper is the best material for con-
ducting-rods. The quantity of metal in the rod
should not be less than what is (*Wail-led in a cylinder
half an inch and two=tenths in diameter, The me-
tallic rod should be flattened rather than round, so as
to have the greatest surface that is consistent with
strength. The conductor then formed, should com-
municate with all the detached masses of metal in the
building, such as leaden ridges, gutters, and metallic
pipes. It should be placed as near the wall as pn3,.•
sible, and pass directly into the ground. It should be
attached to the most elevated point of the building,
and if the structure is to consist of numerous ranges,
such as the new Hopes of Parliament, long, pointed
rods should project from the most prominent parts into
the atmosphere. In place of adopting the usual
method of external conductors we would recommend
the introduction of a vertical iron bar into the thick-
ness of the principal walls of the building. These
bars should comittUilit*P with a horizontal wall-plate
of iron uniting the whole, and fpnp. thi q wall-plate
should rise all the external conductors which ata is
project into the atmosphere. These iron plates and
bars might be so tinted as to form a sort of carpentry
which would add to the strength of the edifice.—

from Dunhall to Exeter, two trucks were loft at. Help
station, when Stiles got off the truck on which he was
riding, to perform his duties at the station, and the en-
gineer stopped this engine to enable him to do so.
After stopping the engine, sanr4 Of the trucks moved
forward by thir own force. Shortly thew the Engin.eer
heard an alarm, and on getting off to see the cause, found
the deceased jammed between the outside framing of
two of the trucks. The deceased called to the engineer
to go a-head, and they moved on ttip engine as promptly
as possible and released him. He was taken to thp
tion.house, and a surgeon sent for ; but before he ar-
rivii deceased begged to be taken home, and was
placed in a Chan, cz. liig truck and brought to Exeter.

At a wardmote held in Broad-street Ward on
Monday, Mr. Henry Marriott was elected to the Common
Council in the room of Mr. Moon, lately elected Alder-
!,n au of the ward of Portsoken.

There was some slight abatement of the storm this
morning; but up to the moment of writing (three
o'clock), the gale continues with considerable force.
In Kingstown harbour there are three vessels on
the West Pier. One, a barque, the Kingstown, be-
longing to Horse-fall and Co., of Liverpool • br;g,
from Archangel to Gloucester, totally dismasted and
waterlogged ; and a schooner ashore in the old har-
bour, the sea breaking completely over her.,
There is also a large vessel dismasted, and at anchor,
near the Grey Stones, beyond Bray Head, and a brig
in a dangerous state in the same direction.
The river Liffey was in a very disturbed state all
day. Little or no work can be carried on, either in
the loading or discharging of the vessels. The
" stavedores ' and coal-porters engaged in working on
the river, last evening, were obliged to leave off,
owing to sea sickness, produced by the.rocking of the
vessels.

Trade has been almost at a stand-still during the
last three days. All the vessels of the City of Dublin
Company are lying in the river with their cargoes.
The Iron Duke mail-packet left the pier at Kings-
town last night, with thirty passengers on board. She
had some difficulty in getting out, but, once the piers
were passed, this noble vessel pressed on, and, at the
rate at which she steamed, it is calculated she made
her journey to Liverpool in fifteen or sixteen hours.
The Urgent packet did not leave the harbour this
morning, with the inland mails for Liverpool, and at
an advanced hour of the day she still lay at the jetty,
waiting for an abatement of the gale, to start for her
destination.

The Holyhead mail-packet, which should have left
Kingstown at half-past nine this morning, still re-
mains.

The secretary of the City of Dublin Company states
that, unless the gale becomes stronger than it is at
present (three o'clock p.m.), the Princess mail-packet
will attempt the voyage to Liverpool at the usual hour
of sailing, half-past six o'clock this evening. Several
passengers are booked, and satisfied to try the voyage
in the Princess.

subscriptions for Father Mathew.
Lord Heytesbury has subscribed 501., Lord Eliot

Mr. John Langan, of Liverpool, 50 guineas.
Sir Arthur Clarke has received from the Rev. Sir

The subjoinel letter has beea received from the
Earl of Cork :

"Hamilton-place, Oct. 30, 1844.
" Dear Mr. Leahy,—l received your letter of the 27th
this morning, and as I feel that every person who is in
any way connected with Ireland is called upon to remove
the pecuniary difficulties of Father Mathew, in conside-
ration of his zealous efforts in the sacred cause of tem-
perance, I am anxious to increase the donation of 201. to
501., as we owe (I repeat) a debt of gratitude to Father
Mathew, which can scarcely be repaid.

THE TORY MEETING AT THE ROTUNDA.

The Rev. Tresham Gregg, and his section of the
Orange party, have announced their dissent from the
project to get up a subscription for reviving the Tory
Registration Society. The managers of the meeting
have refused tickets to the members of the " Protes-
tant Operative Association." In consequence of this
indignity, the " Operatives" held an extraordinary
meeting yesterday, and adopted the following resolu-
tion, declaring " that the meeting to be held on the
instant (this day), which is announced as a meet-
ing of the Conservative electors of Dublin in general,
i 4, in fact, nothing of the sort, being confined exclu-
sively to a very small section of the same ; and they
protested, on the part of the members of their Asso-
ciation, against the idea that such a meeting should
convey the mind of the collective body of Conserva-
tive electors on the objects for which the meeting had
been called." . _

thought is free; but it certainly could not, and, there-
fore, did not dare to act on matters of imperial policy.
It had no kind of power or control over, or interference
with the colonies, or with the treaties between Great
Britain and foreign powers, or with the appointment of
the British Ministry, that is, in point of fact, with the
nomination of the Executive power in the country.
" Do not imagine, that in describing the powers of the
Irish Parliament as they reaily were (and as you say they
were not) that I deny its efficiency or its ability to pro-
tect the interests and promote the prosperity of Ireland.
I say directly the reverse. From the moment at which
it shook off the trammels of the British Legislature it
showed its efficacy, and demonstrated its utility in the
protection of all Irish interests—of Irish agriculture,
commerce, and manufactures.
"Having thus set you right upon an important fact,
you will, I am sure, not think I do so in any spirit of
hostility—my sentiments towards you are quite differ-
ent. I know that you have toiled for and suffered—se-
verely suffered—in the public came, and Ido not heti-
tate to say that the popular party in Kerry have no
treated you with sufficient gratitude.
1, however, think it would be well if you, as well as
others, postponed the discussion of federalism until it
had assumed f form, shape, and presauee '—it might then
be attacked or defended for what it really is—at present
every anti-federalist makes his own giant before he kills
him.

in a reformed state ; and if it be, if it shall affect to take

Wtly among the Irish people.
&it federalism icri43, ciisq 14e uiuch bi ter than the

c,i;rnst in foreign trgatieq, rind in colonial affairs. The
modes of that interference would requivemuch conside-

" The federal plan will, in all probability, appear very

vgtimentative, and conciliatory ; and that
every mode of inducing rational and patriotic men to
join the present Association should be resorted to.
There is nothing derogatory in the most strenuous and
171Ost supplicatory efforts to combine the Irish gentry of
every p4rsua.siori with the people in the pause of
their common country.

IRISH PROVINCIAL COLLEGES.

The following letter from Mr. O'Connell, in reply
to an invitation to attend the meeting to be held in
Cork on the 13th inst., appears in the Cork Reporter
of yesterday :

" Darrynane Abbey, Oct. 30, 1844.
"My dear Sir,—l beg leave to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your letter of the 23d inst., and to express my
extreme regret that it is utterly out of my power to
attend t' e meeting in Cork the 13th of November. Had
the meeting been held a week later, I should have been
able to disengage myself, and to attend it ; but it is now
utterly out of my power to do so, which, I again say, 1
much regret.
" You are quite right in saying that no one can be
more conscious of the importance of the purpose of the
Provincial College Committee than I am ; but, indeed,
you are much mistaken in thinking that I can essen-
tially contribute to its success. I wish it were so, be-
cause I am perfectly ready to do all in my power to for-
ward that object, and you have only to point out in what
way you think I can assist in the establishment of a
Provincial College, and you may be quite sure of
my adopting that course. I am, however, not so san-
guine as you seem to be of the importance of the Minis-
terial declaration of last session. Good words are cheap ;
but there is a wide difference between verbal goodness,
and goodness in action, and I believe that distinction
will be religiously observed by the present Ministry. I
know of no Ministry likely to be one whit more sincere
or more active in doing good to Ireland ; and, without
introducing politics, I may be permitted to say, that the
time is perhaps not distant when we shall be able to look
to our own affairs without any reference to Ministerial
plausibilities.—l have the honour to be, my dear Sir,
your faithful servant,

" My dear this post received your circular—if
I possibly can I shall attend your meetings, as I consider
the object to be one of the most interesting and important
questions to which the attention of the public and of the
Government can be called, and from the very satisfactory
and liberal statements made by Sir Robert Peel on the
subject, during the last session, I feel that we may en-
tertain the most sanguine expectations of success.—Be-

THE TRACY PEERAGE.—The Leinster Express of
yesterday contains the following On Monday
last an inquiry was held at Cistlebrack Churchyard,
before Captains Tibeaudo and Warburton, George
Newcombe, J. W. Tarleton, and Samuel Sheane,
Esqs., Magistrates, relative to the genuineness of
the tombstone, by which James Tracy, Esq., proves
his title to this long-disputed Peerage; and which
the House of Lords decided in his favour, subject to
their proving of this stone. A great number of re-
spectable people attended to give evidence, as well as
to hear such a novel inquiry. Mr. John Rafter, a
stone-cutter and builder, prived that the four pieces
of stone produced must have originally been in one—
they all corresponding with the grain, brealis, and
letters, when laid together closely to form one stone
—and it was his opinion that the said stone was the
original one belonging to the family, placed there as
a tombstone ; in which other witnesses also con-
curred, and signed declarations to thateffeot."

IRISH PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE.—The Irish Gene-
ral Assembly, at their late meeting at Belfast, came
to a resolution to disconnect themselves from the
Belfast Academical Association.
PRIVY COUNCILS AT DUBLIN CASTLE.

It is pretended that the meeting at the Rotunda to-
day is adverse to the Peel Government; but the real
design of the requisitionists, including a dozen or two
of Orange lawyers, is to aid the Government, by pro-
curing funds for the registry.
Tickets of admission were refused to the reporters
of the Liberal journals. The meeting was a hole-
and-corner affair.
A third edition of the TVartler contains a report of
the meeting, which we abridge :
Mr. HAMILTON, as chairman, addressed the meet-
ing. He said that the representation of the city of
Dublin was to him a matter of peculiar interest. He
recollected the struggles he had himself made in con-
junction with the Conservative electors, and the noble
exertions they had made, and made successfully, to
rescue the city from the other party. The object of
the present meeting was to revive the feeling which
had prcduced such valuable results. There were ru-
mours afloat of the intentions of Government towards
the University, and in other respects; but for his
part lie did not believe them. Nevertheless, if such
rumours were well-founded, he maintained that the
proper way to counteract the threatened evil was, as
he had said, to obtain the proper position on the re-
gistries.—(Hear.)
ISAAC BUTT, Esq., moved the first resolution as
follows :—i° That we have heard, with deep regret, of
the great number of Conservative electors at present
unregistered in the city of Dublin, and we deem it ne-
cessary, at this crisis of public affairs, to call the atten-
tion of our Conservative brethren to the importance
of their at once arming themselves with the elective
franchise, without which they render themselves
as a body ineffective, and deprive themselves of
the political power necessary to render successful
their opposition to any measures introduced in Par-
liament contrary to their principles, or detrimental to
the true interests of the united empire." For his
part, however, he was rejoiced that so many Conser-
vative electors existed that might now be registered.
—(Hear, hear.) He felt confident that the exertions
now called for would be of an enduring quality, be-
cause they were based upon principle. He cared not
what the flag hoisted by the adversary might be ;
they were strong enough for them.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. JAMES J. HAMILTON, M.P. for the county,
seconded the resolution.
JOHN BARLOW, Esq., moved the next resolution
—" That the efforts made by the repealers in this
county, at the recent registry sessions, to place their
supporters upon the list, added to the compact now
believed to exist between them and the English
Whigs, in a struggle for power, renders it necessary
and desirable to counteract the effects of their exer-
tions and such alliance, which can alone be resisted
by united and vigorous efforts upon the part of the
Conservatives of this country, to regain their position,
on the registries throughout Ireland, of late, unfor-
tunately, on their part neglected."
Admiral OLIVER was the seconder of this resoln-
tion, and recommended that a subscription should be
at once entered into,
Mr. Fok, of Longfbrd, proposed the third resolu-
tion. The object of it was to re-construct the Ile,
gistration Society.
This resolution was adopted, and arrangements
were made for opening a subscription list.

in Richmond Female Penitentiary."
A second Privy Council was held on Friday, when
a proclamation was issued, under the new Grand Jury
Act, ordering the grand jury of the Michaelmas
Term to divide the county of Dublin into three road
districts, and also to fix the salaries of the surveyors of
each district at 1301. per year ; the consideration of
the salary to be afterwards payable, and the scale of
augmentation to be reserved.

one of those vessels, the Kingstown, of Liverpool, a
fine barque, bound for the African cost, with a
general pug°. The crew had left the vessel previously,

covered. The alarm was at once given, and the con,
