The subjoined letter has been 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 effbrts in the sacred cause of tem-
perance, I am anxious to increase the donation of 201. to
50L, 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 " [hat the meeting to be held on the
2d instant (this day), which is announced as a meet-
ing of the Conservative electors of Dublin in general,
is, 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...weisting should
~,nvey the mind of the collective body of Conserva-
tive electors on the mecca ro, ”I.lot. oh. met-Tang had
been called."
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 Warder 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 he 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 :—" 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.) lie 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 stropg. enough for them.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. JAMES J. HAMILTON, M.P. for the county,
seconded the resolution.
JOBN 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 resolu-
tion, and recommended that a subscription should be
at once entered into.
Mr. Fox, of Longford, proposed the third resolu-
tion. The object of it was to re-construct the Re-
gistration Society.
This resolution was adopted, and arrangements
were made for opening a subscription list.
THE STORM—DESTRUCTION OF A SHIP
BY FIRE.
DUBLIN, Nov. 3.—The gale continued, although
with some abatement, yesterday afternoon, and even
still it is blowing with considerable violence occa-
sionally.
About half-past three o'clock yesterday afternoon,
a large brig, timber-laden, from Canada, which had
suffered severely in the bay of Dublin, made way
into the harbour of Kingston, but, being unable to
drop her anchor securely, was drifted by the wind
into the old harbour, where she went aground beside
two of the vessels wrecked yesterday. About nine
o'clock last night, a fire was discovered on board
one of those vessels, the Kingstown, of Liverpool, a
fine barque, bound for the African coast, with a
general cargo. The crew had left the vessel previously,
and the' exact cause of the fire has not been dis-
covered. The alarm was at once given, and the con-
stabulary force, with the crews of some vessels in the
harbour, including the Stromboli war steamer, came
to render assistance in extinguishing the flames. But
all their efforts were unavailing. The Kingstown
burned to the water's edge, and only a small portion
of her cargo has been saved. On account of the
proxftm • *fy of 'some of the other wrecks, it was found
extremely difficult to prevent the flames extending to
them ; but fortunately they were saved by the per-
severing exertions of the gallant tars of the Stromboli
tipd other vessels.
The devoted vessel was in floats at midnight, and
