"DUBLIN, 14th April, 1856. "The undersigned having made due enquiry from the most trustworthy sources relative to the character and attainments of Professor William G. Allen, have much pleasure in recommending him as a gentleman of high attainments and honorable character. I. G. ABELTSHAUSER, Clk. LL.D. Trin. Col. Dub. WM. URWICK, D. D. 40, Rathmines Road, Dublin. JAMES HAUGHTON, 35 Eccles-street, Dublin. RICHARD ALLEN, Sackville-street, Dublin. JONATHAN PIM, 22, William-street, Dublin. JOHN EVANS, M. D. 38, Richmond-street, Dublin. R. D. WEBB, 176, Great Brunswick-street, Dublin. JOHN R. WIGHAM, 36, Capel-street, Dublin." From RICHARD D. WEBB, Esq. of Dublin. "DUBLIN, 3rd November, 1858. "DEAR MR. ALLEN, "Your name was familiar to me long before I knew you personally. I had often heard of 'Professor W. G. Allen,' who, while connected with the Central College, in the State of New York, and respected there as a man and a teacher, was obliged to leave his native country for the offence of marrying a white lady of respectable family and great excellence of character, who is now much liked and esteemed by her numerous friends in this city. I became acquainted with you soon after your arrival in London; and particularly during your residence in Ireland I have had nearly as much opportunity of knowing you as any of your acquaintances here. I can truly say, that you have earned the hearty respect of all who know you (of whom I have any knowledge), by the industry, energy, and self-respect you have evinced in the course of a long and difficult battle with those adverse circumstances, with which a comparatively unknown and friendless stranger has to contend, in his efforts to effect a settlement in a strange country. Your conduct has been industrious, honorable and in every way deserving of esteem and sympathy. Some time since, in the columns of the 'Anti-Slavery Advocate,' without hint or solicitation on your part, I took the liberty to speak of your course as I do now; for amongst all the colored Americans with whom my interest in the Anti-Slavery cause has made me acquainted--and many of whom are my own personal friends--I have known none more deserving of respect and confidence than yourself. "Yours truly, "RICHARD D. WEBB." * * * * * Hav
