IL0RD BERESFORD RESIGNS.
THE MAN WHO "MADE SIGNS" IN
 THE ROYAL PRESENCE.

HIS acton creates TOuticaA bf0eze-En-
 thusiastic Reception to Editor O'Brien
 on His Return to Dublin-Isabella and
 Her Intrigues-Other Foreign Matters.
 LONDON, Jan 21.-The resignation of Lord Charles Beresford has raised quite a breeze both in political and club circles and in the columns of the press. A portion of the . Tory press condemn the action of the intrepid sailor as redecting upon the naval administra- ion, but the other Conservative newspapers Ire sufficiently outspoken to declare their be- lief that the present system of carrying on the naval department of the government forced lm to resign as means of disclaiming any responsibility for the methods and shortsighted economy just now prevailing in the admioalty office. Foremost among the newspapers sup porting Lord Beresford's action is The St James Gazette, which is ever ready to stand ID for the Tory position when excuses for it Ire possible. Lord Beresford's popularity with the masses, by reason of his conspicuous yallantry during the bombardment of Alex andria, his disregard of the tradition, on the occasion of the last naval review at Spithead, that a man may not be a man in the presence of thequeen, and his independent criticism of the naval administration during the last two years, is enormous, and public opinion is largely in his favor, even in the absence of anything like an explanation of his course in the present instance. People generally con- demn MT. Goschen's opposition to Lord Beresford's schemes for increasing the eff ,iency of the navy and England's defenses, ostensibly on the score of economy, and it is likely that the chancellor of the exchequer will find himself confronted with the necessity for more lucid explanation of his premises than he has hitherto evinced disposition to youchSafe
