. , OPINIONS OP TILE MIMS.
"We regard the work before us, the Silent Friend,' as a work
embracing most clear awl praitical Views of a series of complaints
hitherto little understood, and passed over by a ma;ority of the me-
dical 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'eur minds, that we not.only.recommend, but cordially
wish every one who Is the victim or past folly, or suffering from
indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."—Age and

TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN.
Sin,—Will you do me the favour to publish, in your next
paper, the inclosed letter. As the dispute between Mr. Denison and
myself has become a matter of public observation, and as he has
thought fit to charge me with conduct unbecoming a gentleman, I
think it right that the public should be informed of the opinion of one
who was an eye-witness of all that occurred, and to whom I am
personally unknown.
Mr. Denison, I am sure, will be satisfied to find from this voluntary
testimony that, in the opinion of indifferent parties, he had no just
cause of offence

" The anthorS,of the Silent Friend' seem to be thoroughly con-
versant with the treatment of a class of complaints, which are. we
fear, too prevalent, in .the present day. • The perspicuous ttylo 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 to it a, carettil perusal."—Era.

I am yours, obediently,

PARRICIDE AT GRENOSIDE.

A most frightful instance of the fatal effects of passion
and family dissension occurred on Tuesday, in the village
of Grenoside, near this town. It appears that Thomas
Marples, and his son, of the same name, lived and worked
together, and were garden tool-makers. They lived, it is
stated, without any female in the family, in a miserably
dirty house, where the cooking and other domestic ope-
rations were attended to by the old man. About ten days
ago, the old man made a shovel for a woman named Nay-
lor. The price of it was 4d, ; and on Tuesday last he
went to receive the money. The woman then paid him
only 2d., alleging that his son owed her 2d. The
father grumbled at having to pay his son's debt, and
went to the shop where his son was working, and re-
proached him with it. What passed there is not stated;
and, so far as we can learn, no other parties
were present. The son, however, took from the fire a
piece of red-hot iron, of which he was forming a rake,
and thrust it at the old man's abdomen, which it en-
tered to a considerable depth. The wounded man went
to the house, which was adjoining, and went to bed.
Medical aid was obtained ; and information of the fact
being conveyed to the police, Wilson Overend, Esq.
went to Ecclesfield that evening, to take the man's de-
position. His injury, at that time, however, did not
appear so certainly to be fatal, as to induce Mr. Overend
to take the deposition. The next morning, he was re-
moved to the infirmary, where he grew rapidly worse; and
when Mr. Overend attended on Wednesday, and his depo-
sition as a dying man was taken, he stated that he and
his son had been on bad terms, and that when his son
had thrust the iron into him, he again put it into the
fire. The same night he died. The bowels protruded
to some extent from the wound ; and on a post mot tem
examination, yesterday, it was found that, in at least one
place, the bowels were burned through by the hot iron.
The coroner, being from home when information of the
death of Marples was sent to him. did not receive the
notice till Thursday night. He has fixed the inquest for
this day. The son is in the custody of the police, and,
we understand, expresses great contrition for the crime
into which his passion hurried him.— Sheffield Iris.

DEPARTURE OF MR. CARUS
WILSON FROM JERSEY.

As early as seven o'clock on Friday morning crowds
of persons were to be seen in the vicinity of Gloucester-
street, along the Esplanade and on the Pier. At eight
o'clock the concourse was immense, and a few minutes
after that hour a carriage was seen to leave the gaol-
yard, but it only contained Mr. Wilsen's and the gaoler's
luggage, as Mr. Wilson positively refused to ride. Im-
mediately he was seen the crowd gave an immense cheer,
and several English gentlemen, after shaking hands with
him, joined in procession, and upon all sides around
him; the crowd also followed in the rear. All along
Gloucester-street and the Esplanade, more persons
joined in, cheering at every step. It was laughable
to see the chop fallen countenances of the police
as they stood upon the Esplanade, and the hearty,
cheers given by the multitude when they were recog-
nised by them.—" Hurrah for the Habeas Corpus,"
" Hurrah for Wilson, the people's champion," resounded
on every side. Upon the Pier, the crowd was so great,
that it was with much difficulty a passage could be
effected; every place was filled; even the walls, the
rigging of the shipping—all had occupants. The cheer-
ing was almost continual the whole of the time of Mr.
Wilson's walking down the North Pier. Oa arriving near
the steps, at the Pier head, a large party of gentlemen
shook hands with him, congratulating him upon his forcing
open the prison doors in defiance of the Jersey authorities,
and by lawful means—many hearty wishes for his suc-
cess were given him. The cheering was still continued;
Mr. Wilson now turned round, and facing the people
said, " Brethren !—(Cheers.) Brethren !! —(Cheers.)
Brethren ! ! I—(Still cheers.) Silence being restored,
he said, " God save the Queen !"—(Tremendous cheers.)
Silence again procured, " This is the triumph of the
Majesty of the Law over a tyrannical faction."—(Long
continued cheers.) After bidding adieu to his friends,
Mr. Wilson stepped into the boat in company with the
gaoler, and renewed cheers echoed again and again. His
stepping on board was the signal for further demonstra-
tion, and even in fact, all the time the Monarch was in
the harbour, after she had left and was in the roads,
cheering came from the pier, and was responded
to by those on board. We have seen Bishops,
Lieutenant-Governors, and whole regiments arrive
and depart, but never do we remember
seeing such an assemblage of persons as was
congregated on the pier, upon Mr. Wilson's departure!
When the States' deputies, Messrs. Dupre and Godfrey,
pushed off to the steamer, they were bid adieu by hisses
and groans, but not one hiss, nor even one groan, did
Mr. Wilson receive in the whole of his road from the
gaol to the pier. A number of the honorary police were
present as spectators. Centenier Chevalier made his
retreat from the pier long before Mr. Wilson arrived;
and even little Manuel, the policeman, told his friends
ho was afraid to remain! We were sorry that Mr. Le
Sueur, the constable, was unable to be present on this
interesting occasion, feeling convinced that if he had,
he would have been astounded at the sight. However
his brother, Mr. Frs. Le Sueur, left by the same steamer
for London, being the bearer of all his bright hopes on
the Habeas Corpus affair. There' were between three
and four thousand persons present —Jersey and Guern-
sey News.

FRACAS AT THE PARIS BOURSE.—The Revue de
Paris contains the following :—" The abuses which we
have from time to time pointed out in the sale of pro-
mises of railroad shares, produced a few days back,
at the Bourse, a scene highly disagreeable to those
who were affected by it. One of the companies
formed to send in tenders for a railway voted
by the Chambers had long since declared that its
lists of subscribers were closed ; and, in consequence,
the persons who had delayed too long to make appli-
cations for shares paid a premium to procure some.
However, the agents who live by the negotiations that
are transacted in the coulisse, beheld with dismay that,
day after day, fresh coupons of these promises, which
could no longer be procured at the regular office, were
poured into the market. Suspicions were excited, and a
sharp look-out was kept, which ended in the head
clerk of :the company's banker being caught
in the very fact of selling these promises with
a premium. The unfortunate fellow was at once at-
tacked, seized by the collar, abused, and threatened.
In an instant the Bourse looked like a field of
battle, so great was the rush on the delinquent.
The banker himself happened to enter at the mo-
ment, and, being recognised, he was surrounded,
and would have been assailed, and probably ejected
from the hall, as the principal delinquent, if the
messengers and garde municipal on duty had not inter-
fered and rescued him from the grasp of his assailants
This scene produced a painful effect on the minds of
all present ; and at present the new railroad com-
panies are obliged to declare in their prospectuses
that they will carefully abstain from all operations that
are not strictly regular ; that the projectors will
not levy any exceptional profits, at the expense of the
shareholders ; and that the money paid in by the su.b-
scribers shall fructify for the profit of those. paidwho. it,
and not of the persons receiving it.

Foreign-office, Jan. 9, 1845.
My Lord,—The French Ambassador has deliveied to
me a dispatch from his Government, in which M. Guizot
describes in strong terms the feeling which has prevailed
for some time past in the French Chambers, and
generally in France, relative to the right of search.
After detailing at length the reasons which have induced
him to arrive at such a conclusion, be suggests to her
Majesty's Government the expediency of appoinang a
joint Commission, for the purpose of inquiring whether
means may not be discovered for the suppression of the
slave-trade as effectual, or even more effectual than those
afforded by the treaties which confer the mutual right
of search.

A copy of this dispatch is enclosed for your Ex-
cellency's information.
M. Guizot correctly states, that when, at the close of
the year 1843, the Count de St. Aulaire tanncuneed to
me the intentions of the French Government to propose
certain measures which they felt satisfied .would be
found preferable to the exercise of the right of search,
and better calculated to attain the objects in view, I at
that time informed the French Ambassador that my con-
viction of the sincerity and zeal of M. Guizot for the
abolition of the slave-trade would induce me to receive
any suggestions from him on the subject, and to submit
them for the consideration of her 'Majesty's Government.
Your Excellency may assure M. Guizot, that her Ma-
jesty's Government attach no special value to the right
of search, except in so far as it affords an effectual means
of suppressing the
,slave-trade.
They are indeed aware that the exercise of this right
cannot fail to be attended with some inconvenience, and
they would willingly see the adoption' of any measures
which would be as effectual for the accomplisliment of

an
pro-
posed which could safely be adopted as a substitute for
the right of search. And when M. Guizot recollects
how earnestly the people of this country have desired
the abolition of the slave-trade, and the enormous sacri-
fices they have made, and are daily making, to secure
the attainment of this object, he will not be surprised if
we hesitate to abrogate treaties, the stipulations of which
have been found efficient, until we are satisfied that the
measures about to be proposed will be attended with
equal success.

Tr abstain from inquiring into the causes which have
led to the great change of sentiment in France respect-
ing these treaties, which up to a recent period the French
Government had united with that of her Majesty in
pressing on the adoption of other nations.
Be these causes what they may, I fully admit that such
engagements, if not executed with cordiality and zeal by
both the contracting parties, must become less likely to
answer the purpose intended, and their value be greatly
impaired. It is unnecessary, therefore, to dwell on the
means taken by her Majesty's Government to remove all
reasonable grounds of objection to the exercise of the
right of search, and on the care with which the instruc-
tions recently delivered to the officers engaged in this
service have been prepared. The mere fact officially de-
clared by M. Guizot, that the Government, the Legisla-
ture, and the people of France earnestly demand a re-
vision of these engagements, while they profess at the
same time an undiminished desire to attain the objects
for which they were contracted, would afford to her
Majesty's Government a sufficient reason for agreeing to
the proposed inquiry.
But in assenting to this suggestion of M. Guizot, ycur
Excellency cannot too strongly impress upon his mind
how much will depend on the character of the peisons
who may be selected as Commissioners, in order to in-
spire the necessary degree of confidence, and to insure
any useful result. It appears to her Majesty's Govern-
ment to be indispensable that the Commission should be
composed of individuals of high station and enlightened
views—men perfectly independent, and well known for
their attachment to the great cause of freedom and hu-
manity. _
- -

It must clearly be made known that the object of the
Commission is not to get rid of the treaties, but to ascer-
tain the possibility of adopting measures by which they
may advantageously be replaced.
It appears essential also, that whatever substitute' may
be proposed, if any be found, should be considered in the
first instance only as an experiment, but by which the
operation of the treaties in this respect would necessa-
rily be suspended, until its success or failure had been
made manifest.

To a Commission thus constituted and thus in-
structed, her Majesty's Government could not only en-
tertain no objection, but would be disposed, in common
with all who sincerely desire the early and complete
abolition of this detestable traffic, to look with hope and
satisfaction.—l am, &c. ABERDEEN.

GUIZOT TO THE COUNT ST. AULAIRE.

Paris, Dec. 26,1844.
M. le Comte,—Last year, about this time, I requested
you to call the attention of Lord Aberdeen to the im-
portant question of the right of search, and to the power-
ful motives which led us to desire that the two Cabinets
should concert together with the view of substituting,
for this mode of repressing the slave-trade, a new mode,
which, whilst equally efficacious for our common object,
should be free from the same inconveniences and the
same dangers.
To this communication which you made to Lord Aber-
deen, his Lordship answered, that being perfettly con-
vinced of my sincere resolution to labour perseveringly
fur the suppression of the trade, any proposition made
by me would be received by him with confidence, and
examined with the most scrupulous attention.
If since that time I have abstained, M. le Comte, from
treating of this important affair in my official corre-
spondence with you—if I have delayed sending the in-
structions which I had announced to you—it certainly
has not been that the Government of the King have lost
sight for a single day of the object which they had to
propose to themselves, or that their convictions had be-
come less strong. You know the various causes, inter.
nal and external, which, by obliging us to devote all our
efforts to urgent questions, have made it imperative on
us to suspend the negotiation, the opening of which in
London you had been charged to call for, on the ques-
tion of the means of repressing the slave-trade. The
time is now arrived for resuming it.
As I have already mentioned to you, M. le Comte,
our conviction of the necessity of having recourse, in
concert with England, to a new mode of repressing the
slave-trade, is undiminished and profound. All the
events which have occurred, all the reflections which
have forced themselves upon us, since this question was
raised, have made us feel more strongly the necessity of
modifying the system actually in force. In order that
this system should be effectual and without danger, it is
not sufficient that the two Governments are animated by
reciprocal goodwill and confidence. Constantly liable
in its application to oppose, cramp, and injure private in-
terests, often legitimate and inoffensive ones, this system
keeps up, in the minds of a numerous class, active, and
necessarily rough in manners, a source of initationwhich,
though it may sleep for a time more or less long, may by
an unforeseen accident at sea, or by the slightest disturb-
ance in the political relations of the two States, be at any
moment developed, inflamed, extended and transformed
into a powerful and formidable national sentiment. This
ei
nairnsgft oa

being so, the system of the right of search used as a
means for repressing the slave-trade is more dangerous
than useful ; for it compromises, at one and the same
time, peace, good understanding between the two coun-
tries, and even the success of the great cause which it is
intended to serve.
This, M. le Comte, is not a mere conjecture, it- is a
fact which experience has now demonstrated. During
ten years the reciprocal right of search has bees ac-
cepted and exercised by France and by England with
common consent, and without any declared feeling or
any manifestation of mistrust or of repulsion. Owing
to causes which it is useless to revert to, the case is now
different. The feeling of the Chambers and of the
country is strongly averse to this system. Not, M.
le Comte, that France is at present more indifferent
than she was some years ago to the horrorr of at slave.
trade ; but a conviction exists in France (and the (10.
vernment of the King shares this conviction) that it is
possible to find other means quite as effectual, more
effectual even than the reciprocal right of search, by
which this infamous traffic may be reached.
In order to obtain the co-operation of the country and
of the Chambers—their earnest, active, indefatigable
co-operation—for the repression of the trade, the adop-
tion of a different system is henceforth indispensable.

Affairs in the course of that day.
After reading that dispatch with attention in my pre-

the views therein taken by your Lordship respecting the
engagements entered into by the two Governments for
the suppression of the traffic in slaves. He admitted
likewise that since the conclusion of the treaties of 1831
and 1838, a great change had taken place in the opinions
