IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Dee. 19.
The numerous friends of 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 Mop-
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 Reynolds 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 ler gth 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-
coll, and Mr. Devitt spoke warmly to the same
effect. A committee was appointcu and a subscrip-

tion opened, when a considerable amount was sub-
scribed JII the spot. Alderman Moylan, Sir John
Gray, Alderman Wean, Mr. J. Dunne, Mr. E,
Fox, and Mr. Devitt were appointed treasurers.
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 scheme 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. Tee following gentle.

THE SATURDAY REVIEW.—The professed enemy o
anonymous journalism, haVing an anonymous and ilti- a
congenial journal at his disposal, immediately
printed his own rejected effusion, while he care-
fully suppressed ell mention of the answer which he -
had received. At the same time.
~he privately ad-
dressed a second letter to the editor of the 7zrnes,
with the interesting information': that the whole
correspondence would be published in the world-
renowned columns of the _Rochdale Observer. Most
persons have, in the course of their lives, seen an
angry w-ornan—perhaps a seaside lodging-house
keeper—delivering her sentiments in a high key
with the most unreserved freedom, and at the
same time grasping
the door-handle. AV hen
the victim of her elcquence at last finds a
pause for explanation or apology, the door
is slammed in his face, and he has to argue
with vacancy, or to console himself by writing a
letter of complaint to the Little Peddli.ngton
Observer.

to Mr. Delano, " an exhibition of those
mind which characterise the editorial managemese of
of the 7intes—of that arrogant self-complacene"
that logical incoherence, and that moral bewilder-
meat meat which a too long career of impunity and irre-
sponsibility could alone engender." These are strop..
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 Cobbett or travel-
ling forward to the days of universal Yankeedom.
As long as an anonymous press is an English insti-
tution, so long will such behaviour be reprobated by
the good sense of educated English people.

SHIPPING DISASTERS.--The official intelligene°
which continues to arrive daily at Lloyds' shows
how disastrous have been the consequences of the late
both in loss of life and property, especially in the coastline-
trade. The-ship John Bunyan, of Liverpool, 1,129 ton;
register, belonging to Messrs. llaughton, Smith, and Co.,
has sustained damage estimated 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. Oa Friday last, when pass-
ing the Gunfleet, the vessel misted stays and went
ashore. The crew, eight in number, staid by the ship as
leng as they could with safety, trying to get her oil, in
which .they were assisted by the crews of four fishing
smacks, bat in vain, After saving Many of the stores and
materials, they were taken on board the Lord Howe smack
and landed at Harwich. Tho 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 Cress Sand on her voyage to London, laden with
flooring boards. The crew, consisting of six hands, were
obliged to abandon her and, taking to a loaf, were picked
up by the William and Ann, of Hai tlepool, and trans`ierred
to a fishing smack and then to a lugger, which landed 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 December the brigantine Albert, be-
longing to George Busby and othere, of Liverpool, sus-
tained serious damage on a voyage from Gottenburg to Lon-
don,latlenwith deals:rho sea running veryhigh 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 signal of distress was hoisted, which brought
to their assistance a smack that was seen in the distance.
The ship was then about 2.5 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 £3OO,
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, Dec. 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. There she remained for a week and then broke
her back ; no laves were lost. In the collision the pilot of
the Heloise fell overboard, but was picked up by a boat of
the steam collier. The barque Abraham Barker, 400 tons,
and of which Mr. E. L.Scharffenorth is master and owner,
on a voyage from St. John's, New Brunswick, to
the Bristol Channel, after riding out a storm in
Barnstaple Bay, has found a haven in Newport docks,
after receiving damage to the amount of £3OO, and losing
a man who had fallen from the rigging. The ship vir,,u 5
