It cannot but distort his judgment. May we hope that now, having, as the French express it, emptied his quarrel, ho will be all the better man, cleansed of much perilous stuff souring his tamper and spoiling his manners. THE LONDON REVIEW.—Mr. Cobden'S demea nour on this occasion, whatever the merits of the question, is most improper. He simply defends his client by insulting the counsel on the other side. "Hero we have," he pleasantly remarks in his letter to Mr. Delane, " an exhibition of those qualities of mind which characterise the editorial management of the limes —of that arrogant self-complacency, that logical incoherence, and that moral bewilder ment which a too long career of impunity and irre sponsibility could alone engender." These are strong words, In employing them to a private gentleman Mr. Cobden flings aside the conventional restraints of his generation. In the heat of the moment he is either going back to the days of Cobhett or travel ling forward to the days of universal Yankeedom.

IRELAND, DUBLIN, DEC. 19. The numerous friendsof Alderman John Reynolds met yesterday at the Commercial Buildings, in order to take measures for presenting him with a testi monial. The chair was taken by Alderman Moy lan, High Sheriff of the Queen's County. He said the object of their meeting was to present Alderman Reynolds with a testimonial that would mark their sense of his great services and merit. It was sur prising what an amount of time he gave to public duties. The Catholics of Ireland owed him a debt of gratitude for the part he had taken in open ing the Ballinasloe Workhouse to the Sisters of Mercy. Alderman Carroll declared that they would be unworthy of the name of Irishmen unless they endeavoured in some way to reim burse Alderman Rey nolds the heavy expenses which he had been put to in his contest with the bigotted portion of the Guardians of the Ballinasloe Union; actions had been brought against him, and he had suffered in his purse to the amount of £l,OOO. He also reminded the meeting of the exertions of the alderman in opposing the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. Mr. Barry, Q.C., spoke forcibly in favour of the claims of Mr. Reynolds as the champion of Irish Liberalism for nearly 40 years, during which he had displayed consummate ability, un daunted courage, and unvarying consistency. The learned gentleman recounted at length the prin cipal facts in his political career—in connection with all the great changes in the progress of Liberal principles in this country. Sir Colman O'Loghlen, M.P., Sir John Gray, Mr. O'Dris coil, and Mr. D -..vitt spoke warmly to the same (Met. A committee was appointe.i and a subscrip tion opened, when a considerable amount was sub ecribed an the spot. Alderman Moylan, Sir John Gray, Alderman M'Can, Mr. J. Dunne, Mr. E. Fox, and Mr. Devitt were appointed tr. - ,asurors. The munificent bequest of ;he late Mr. Drummond —amounting to £2o,ooo—to found a school for the education of the children of the orphan daughters of soldiers, has been securely established for the object intended by the testator. Not only has the amount of the bequest been paid into the Court of Chancery by the executors, but a echemo for the future management of the charity has been approved by the Master in Chancery, printed, and circu lated. The school will be managed, as nearly as possible, on the plan of the Royal Hibernian Mili tary School for soldiers' sons.

The ship Joh n Bun y an, of Liverpool, 1,129 tons register, belonging to Messrs. Houghton, Smith, and Co., has sustained damage est imated at £3,500 by a collision in the Mersey, just after the completion of a return voyage from Quebec. The:brig Stephen Watson, of Sunderland, of which Mr. Alexander Waters is the owner, has be come a total wreck on a voyage from that place to London, laden with coals. On Friday last, when pass ing the Gunfleet, the vessel misted stays and went ashore. The crew, eight in number, staid by the ship as long as they could with safety, trying to get her off, in which they were assisted by the crews of four fishing smacks, but in vain, After saving many of the stores and materials, they were taken on board the Lord Howe smack and landed at Harwich. The estimated loss of the ship is £9OO. She was insured at £1,400. On Monday the ship Spray, of Montrose, John Burnett, master, was stranded on the Cross Sand on her voyage to London, laden with flooring boards. The crew, consisting of six hands, were obliged to abandon her anti, taking to a boat, were picked up by the William and Ana, of Hartlepool, and transferred to a fishing smack and then to a lugger, which ltretled them safely at Lowestoft, but with the loss of nearly all their clothing. The value of the derelict vessel was £BOO. In the heavy gale of 3d Deeemb; the brigantine Albert, be longing to George Busby and others, of Liverpool, sus tained serious damage on a voyage from Gottenburg to Lon de/I,lam with deals,The sea running very high the deck load of timber broke adrift and some part of it was washed away. The remainder was thrown overboard with the view to save the ship. A signed of distress was hoisted, which brought to their assistance a smack that was seen in the distance. The ship was then about 25 miles from the Texel. She was eventually towed into Yarreouth,part of the distance by the smack, and has sustained damage to the amount of £BOO, while the loss of cargo is estimated at £l3O. John Campbell, one of the crew, fell from the rigging during the storm and was drowned,a boat having been in vain put off to save him Again, on Friday, Dee. 4, the iron steam collier James Dixon, 833 tons burden, Wm, Wale master, on leaving the Tyne, bound for Louden, was run ashore at the mouth of the Tyne, having first come into collision with the brig Heloise.

COMPLETION OF THE CHARING-CItOSS RAIL WAY*--It is understood that this important me tropolitan railway will be open for public traffic on the Ist of Janua r y, Th e compan y have not yet received the certi ficate of Captain Tyler, the Government inspector, but, Judging from tho results of the tests to which the bridges and other portions of the line wore subjected, there will be no difficulty upon this point. The company are therefore making th e n ecessary arrangements for the opening of the railway .on New year's Day. The station at Charing cross will probably not be finally completed before March next, and until this is finished the public will not derive the full benefit which the railway will afford for the through. p oss enger traffic. It is also anticipated that a section of the railwa y will requ ire to bp widened before the local and throuedi traffic can be efficiently worked. The portion of t h e line betwe en Charing -cross station and the point the C a nnon-street branc hes diver g es has three lines where of rails; but the part on the main lino between the cast and west junctions of the Cannon-street branch has been built with only two lines. Over this portion, a distance of some two or three hundred yards, an additional lino of rails will be required, but that partial widening can be carried out at any time before the Cannon-street extension is completed. The hotel at Charing-cross will not bo ready for business • until May or June next. The total outla y upon the whole lino between Charing-cross and London-bridge, including the City extension, will about £3,000,000, but the surplus land, the property of the company, may be set down at someth i ng a pproaching half a millio n .

Yester day my cavalry attacked that of the enemy in one of the passes of the Clinch Mountain and was pur suing them vigorously. Couriers from Knoxville arrived here last night. The road is clear, a man having arrived here yesterday. The official reports state : General Longstreet commenced his siege opera tions against Knoxville upon the 18th ult., and raised the siege upon the 4th inst., retreating to wards Bristol, via Harristown .Railway to Rich mond, and south from Bristol, along the north and south banks of Holston River.

The Confederates, in strong organised bodies, are impeding the navigation upon the Mississippi.- President Lincoln has issued a proclamation that, in consequence of receiving reliable information that the insurgents were retreating from Tennessee, under circumstances rendering it probable that the Federals cannot hereafter be dislodged from there, and esteeming this to be of high national conse quence, he recommends'the people to return public thanks. General Butler has issued a proclamation saying, the recruitment of coloured troops having become a purpose of the Government, and as the best use dur ing the war for able bodied coloured men, both for themselves and their country, is to be soldiers, Go vernment officers must not employ negroes to work at higher wages than soldiers' pay. Every possie hie provision will be mode for negroes. Congress met yesterday. The Democrats were divided on the choice of a candidate for a speaker, and Colfax, a Republican, was elected speaker of the house. This secures to the Republicans an opponent of standing committees.

PROCLAMATION OF THE PRESIDENT, NEW YORK, Dec. 9, Afternoon. Accompanying President LII3COII3'S Message is a proclamation, suggesting the following terms for the reconstruction of the Union : An amnesty will be granted to persons in rebel lious States who take the oath of allegiance to the United Slates, and an oath to support all the acts passed by the Federal Congress, and all proclama tions issued by Mr. Lincoln since the rebellion, in cluding the Emancipation Proclamation. This latter oath, the President observes in his Message, is subject to the modifying and abrogat ing power of legislation and supreme judicial deci sion, if one-tenth of the legalised voters of any re bellious State take the oaths above cited and form a Republican State Government. Such Government will be recognised and receive constitutional protec tion from the Federal Government. Persona who have held office under the Confede rate Government; those who held rank in the army above the rank of colonel, or in the navy above the rank of lieutenant; those formerly holding judicial positions, or who resigned the Federal service and joined the rebellion ; and those who have treated coloured soldiers otherwise than as prisoners of war, are exempted from the amnesty. The proclamation does not refer to the States which throughout the rebellion have maintained the loyal Government. Mr. Lincoln says that the mode proposed in the proclamation is the best the Executive can suggest, but it must not be understood that no other possible mode would be acceptable. The Message declares that foreign relations are friendly, but, beyond the accompanying proclama• tion, contains nothing important. NEW YORK, Deo, 10 (Morning). President Lincoln's proclamation accompanying the Message grants not only an amnesty but a full pardon and restoration of the rights of property, except slave property, to those taking the oaths described in the proclamation.

MORTON is enabled to announce that, thromh the medium of Professor Pepper's World of Shadows, a "GHOST CLUB" is nightly held at the CAN TER BURY HALL.

At pre sent, the two orders of Slavery—the Slavery of the South, and the " White" Slavery of a more boastful civilisation, receive emphatic illustration ; and these lite pictures will be rapidly replace iby others. The pages of Shakspere and the elder Dramatists, of Scott, Hood, lngoldsby, Dickens, &c., &c., in turns, furnish subjects for illustration.

BY TELEGRAPH VIA. HALIFAX, NEW YORK, Dec. 10, Afternoon. President Lincoln's Message says that the British Government, as was further expected, has exercised its authority to prevent the departure of new hos- tile expeditions from British ports. The French Emperor, by similar proceedings, promptly vindi cated the neutrality which he proclaimed at the beginning of the contest. Blockade questions have been discussed and accommodated in a spirit of frankness, justice, and national goodwill. Oar Prize Courts, by the im partiality of their adjudication, have commanded the respect and confidence of maritime Powers. An important question, involving the maritime jurisdiction of Spain in the waters surrounding Cuba has been debated without reaching agreement, and it is proposed to refer the question to the arbi tration of a friendly Power. The rights of aliens in America are partially defined by treaties with some Governments. In no instance, however, is it stipulated that in the event of civil war foreigners residing within the lines of the insurgents are to be exempted from the rule which classes them as belligerents, in whose behalf their Governments cannot expect any privi leges or immunities distinct from that character. Such claims, however, have been put forward on behalf of foreigners residing here the greater part of their lives. The Message states that the receipts during the year from all sources, including loans and the balance in the Treasury at the commencement of the year, were 900,000,000 dole. The disburse ments during the year were 895,000,000 dols. The receipts from the Customs were 69,000,000 dals., and from the internal revenue 37,000,000 dols. The amount received from loans was 776,000,000 dole. The disbursements in the War Department amounted to 590,000,000 dole., and for the Navy Department to 63,000,000 dole. Over 1,000 vessels have been captured since the blockade was instituted. The naval force consists of 518 vessels, 75 of which are iron-clads. 100,000 freed slaves are in the Federal service, half of them bearing arms. MT. Lincoln declares that whilst he remains in his present position he Shall not attempt to retract or modify the Emancipation Proclamation, nor return to slavery any per son who is freed by that proclamation, or by any act of Congress. The Message further says : " In the midst of other cares we must not lose sight of the fact that war power is our main reliance, and that to that power alone we can look for a time to give confidence to the people in contented regions that the insurgent power will not overrun them. Until that confidence is re-established, little can be done anywhere for what is called ' reconstruction.' Hence our chief care must be directed to the army." President Lincoln's proclamation contains the following additional provisions for State Govern ments formed in accordance with the terms of the proclamation ; " State Governments may make any provision in relation to negroes which shall recognise and declare their permanent freedom, provide for their educa tion, and which may yet be consistent as a temporary arrangement with their present condition as a laborious, landless, houseless class. State Govern ments may retain the name of the State, and the same boundary, constitution, and general code of laws as existed before the rebellion, subject to the modification made neeessary by the conditions of he proclamation," TEC BRAZILIAN AND RIVER PLATE MAILS. BUENOS AYRES, Nov. 12 The long-talked-of National Debt Bill has at last been passed. Holders of claims, &c., against the late National Government will, on proving their demands, be entitled to receive 6 per cent. bonds, which, it is thought, will be ultimately introduced on the London Exchange. The currency has suffered a still further deprecia tion, owing to the rejection by the Chambers of the bill authorising a foreign loan. The discussion of the bill excited strong party feeling. The measure was rejected, from the conviction that if the loan was obtained in England, even on the most favour able terms, so long as the Bank was left under ffi7 tho control of the Government the publ ic had no under cient guarantee that the proceeds o f the loan would be applied for the purposes for which it w as made.
