THE IRISH AND ASGLO. SAxoSIsM. we have
seen a correspondence between several promi-
nent Irishmen Of this City and JOSEPH bRENAN'
ESQ. formerly Editor Of The IrishnaH, Dublin,
wherein the latter is invited to lecture on an
elo- Sazonisna,' with especial reference to EN-
bassador Lawrence's late Speeches in England
and Sir Henry Bulwer's corresponding Speeches
in this country. Mr.. Brennan accepts the invita-
ton, but in terms and temper which lead as to
apprehend that he will win more immediate plau-
undertaking j: is very proper to remind these
dinner speech makers that the Anglo-Saxon is
but one element in American character and
achievement-an important and valuable one,
doubtless, but by no means exclusive nor the only
one that could not well be spared. We under
stand that JAMES 7. BRADY has been ecturing on
this theme out of the City, and we should like to
hear him IN it. May it not be arranged Mr.
Brennan is a man able to handle the subject if he
will govern his temper and not underrate the in
teTectual caliber of bis auditory. 1t is absurd
nay, it is unworthy-to pretend that Mr.: Law
renee meant any dsparagement OF Ireland or
Irishmen in talking Anglo oaxOnlsm at two or
three public dinners in England bat 1t is very
well to tell that part of the story which did not
come in his way on those occasions. Keep cool,
Mr. b. and do yourself justice

DEATH OF Mr.. GARDISER-Proceedisgs in the
u. s. Circuit Court.-At the opening Of the U
8. Circuit Court yesterday Mr.. J. Prescott Hall, |
u. s. District Attorney, addressed the Court for
some time in allusion TO the death OF the late
Alexander Gardiner, Clerk Of said Court. A
short career of proper attention to his professional
studies, said Mr. Hall os strict integrity, OF def
erence to his superors in age, Of regard for his
own position, and the just expectation oil his
friends, gave US ali right to suppose that his
after life, had he been spared, would not only
have been respectable in itself, but OF fair exam
ple to others Yet in a moment, in the twinkng
of an eve, he has been cut down and added to
the long list of those who have passed away, like
the leaves of autumn, never to return. On mo-
ton of Mr. Hall, the Court then adjourned, and
the cause of it's adjournment was ordered to be
entered on its minutes.
The funeral of Mr.. Gardiner took place at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon, from Rev. DR. Be-
delrs Church, corner of feminist. and Fifth av
and was largely attended by the members of the
Bar and the friends Of the deceased

Office of Clerk of the U. s. Circuit Court, vacated
by the death of Mr.. Gardiner his son, Nh
John Nelson.
