LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 22, 1436. A correspondent, who signs himself " Mentor," has sent us a communication, which will be found in another part of The Sun, on the subject of Lord BaoucH AM ' S Law Reforms. He very sensibly observes of them, that their great object has been " to effect the greatest possible good with the least possible expense, and by abolishing all impolitic monopolies, to establish a sound and prudent system for the promotion of our national welfare. The nature and character of such alterations must have the greatest tendency to ameliorate our legal jurisprudence, and thereby conduce to the happiness of the whole community." There is no man of the present age—scarcely even of any age—to whom the " community" is more indebted for the various im provements he has introduced into our system of juris prudence, than to Lord BROUGHAM. To say that his Reforms have been all of a practical character, is to say but half the truth ; for not only are they prac tical in the strictest sense of the term, but they are marked also by a sagacity, a soundness of judgment, a simplicity, and directness of purpose which BENTIIAM himself never surpassed, if he have equalled. Had not these been their broad, unquestionable characteris tics, never would they have been able to bear up against, and weather, the storm of abuse and obloquy which the maniac rage of party let loose against them. They would have foundered at the very first stiff blast of faction that swept over them. But though Lord BROUGHAM have already done much in the way of simplifying our judicial system, he has yet much to accomplish—many abuses, and absurdities without number, to remove ; and in attempting the removal of these, he must make up his mind to encouter a fierce opposition from the prejudiced and the interested— from those who are purblind, and those who are blinder than the mole. But his Lordship, in the pro secution of a praise-worthy object, is not the man to permit himself to be daunted by obstacles, no matter how imposing a form they may assume. He is made of " stubborn stuff," as all Reformers should be, who desire to benefit the community. He feels that he has a great--a sacred—a paramount duty to perform, to himself and his country ; and this duty, whether in office or out of office, we are convinced he will most rigidly fulfil. We shall take an early opportunity of reverting to the subject of Lord BROUGHAM'S legal Reforms. Our readers will find in another part of The Sun of this day, the copy of a letter from Sir FRANCIS BURDETT to the Electors of Westminster, on the subject of his recent " scrimmage" with the great Agi tator. Sir FRANCIS'S letter is a very poor affair— so miserably poor, that it would indicate a want of self-respect in any Journalist to examine it too closely. The most charitable, and we believe the most equitable way in which to regard it is, to look upon it as the production of a well-meaning man who has had the misfortune, like the Episcopal patron of GIL BLAS, to outlive those faculties for the high ex ercise of which he was once distinguished. Such language from any person, save one who in his day, rendered such services to the cause of the people, we should at once denounce as senile twaddle, in which reason, argument, and truth found no place. Were we seriously bent upon examining the contents of thi s letter—upon analysing its state ments—upon collectin g its meanino : , and comment ing upon it (which we are not), we should have n o difficulty in attaching to Si r FRANCIS BUR- - -9kTr.,,,a stigma much_ more reprehensible than ,:t.--..---- ' • ....„ , , ,tlroy ,_ ,., el attributable to him from the errors of a fac -0,-,---tit3in,- '.., ing dotage. Were we so minded, we could t ill t '''''' -pro:te, to the. satisfaction of Sir FRANC IS' in his more -- sane 2-noirfin' ts,- that DANIEL O'CONNELL has done ' ' ' l- -iilbre to - benefit Ireland and her Catholic population, of all i.s.iknks and classes, than any other one individual riltt ... - - l`J _ ever did before for the people of any country, by means ' e qually_accordant with a spirit of peace, and social order. We could make him fully sensible that the declaration of O'CONNELL himself, with respect to the trivialness of what he had accomplished, could not for an instant outweigh the importance of his public services. Mr. O'CoNNELL may say that he has done nothing for his country ; but were he to do so publicly to-morrow, there is not a man of common understanding in Ireland who would believe him. ' Sir FRANCIS BURDETT talks as if the Catholic gentry were alone benefitted by the passing of the Catholic Emancipation Bill. The Hon. Baronet would not have so spoken in 1806. But Sir FRANCIS BURDETT ought to know that as men do not live by bread only, so neither do they derive all the blessings of life from accession to office. Is the consciousness of political and social equality nothing ? If so, why are the people of England presumed to be happier, because their Constitution renders them eligible to the highest offices in the State ? Why are they congratulated on official victories of which a large proportion of them are never to gather the fruits ? Sir FRANCIS alludes in rather unsavoury terms to the O'CONNELL tribute. This is a standing topic with the Tories. We always hear of rags, and nakedness, and misery in conjunction with the tribute : how strange then that we never hear of such subjects when the quarter-day arrives for paying off the pensions of the mendicant aristocracy who live but to demoralize and pauperize the country ! We never hear of hunger and thirst, and the squalor of Irish indigency, when Church cor morants are to be fed—when the members of a dis solute oligarchy are to be gorged with plunder—and when subsidies are to be levied for the support of Ger man princes. If the Irish poor be in so distressed a condition that it is disgraceful to receive their pence voluntarily offered, how atrocious must be the criminality of those who wring shillings from them against their inclination, sometimes to the shedding of their blood ? It is time to get rid of this cant about rent. When Mr. O'CON NELL arms the collectors of it with pistols charged by himself—when he sends them forth at day-break to watch the first opening of the cabin door, and so surprise the peasant in an unheeded moment, in order to ruin him by the compulsory collec tion of his pence—then shall we admit the jus tice of not only railing against, but of restrain ing him. But O'CONNELL is not priest enough for the. adoption of this method of propagating the light of a pure Christianity. He must be converted, and become a parson before he can attain this moral emi nence. But Mr. O'CONNELL may make his mind very easy on this matter. The Tories rail against the rent, because it is an incontrovertible evidence of O'CoNNELL's influence in Ireland. In this day's Sun will be found certain documents, under the title " TORY MAGISTRACY," well worthy of serious consideration. Those who wish to see a happy illustration of the working of that system, which invests the Lords Lieutenants of Counties with the appointment of Magistrates, will peruse these docu ments with interest. People sometimes express sur prise that there should appear to be so much Tory influence in the counties. They do not consider that the main source of this influence is the Magistracy. The Tories having been in possession of the Government with little intermision for 70 years, have carefully ex cluded from a seat on the bench of Magistrates, almost every man whose political opinions did not square with their own. This they accomplished in an indirect and underhand way. They appointed none but their own creatures Lords Lieutenants of coun ties ; and none but the creatures of their creatures— no one who could not produce a recommendation from a Lord-Lieutenant was ever put into the Commission of the Peace. What has been the consequence ? These Magistrates so appointed—a great proportion of them calling themselves ministers of the Gospel, too—have been the bitterest opponents of reform. Through every channel by which they could make their in fluence bear against the spread of liberal opinions, and in support of the old system of abuses, has their power been felt. In private, and on the bench—whether in the employment of a trades man or labourer—in granting licenses to pub licans, in distributing the. patronage of the county by appointing to numberless petty offices—con tracting for the building of bridges, gaols, and other things of a like nature—the cause of Toryism was steadily kept in view. With respect to the county of Middlesex, the evil has now reached a point at which it is indispensable that it should be stopped, and an entirely different plan pursued. We see that the business of the County is at a stand-still, for want of resident Magistrates to perform it. Can it be presumed that the Metropolitan County is unable to furnish a sufficient number of gentlemen competent to discharge the duties of the office ? This will not be maintained. Mr. HUME states that some months ago he recom mended to Lord JOHN RUSSELL 20 gentlemen as fit and proper persons to act as Magistrates. How comes it that none of these have been appointed ? Did the Secretary of State object to them ? By no means. The Noble Lord highly approved of them, and used his influence with the Lord Lieutenant to get them appointed, but could not succeed !! ! What must the country think of this ? Ate its interests to be thus sacrificed to a false delicacy ? We trust that the county electors, as well as the metropolitan vestries, will, without delay, present petitions to his MAJESTY, and to the House of Commons, for the redress of this shameful grievance. In another column will be found a letter from a Roman Catholic Bishop, which shews in what estima tion PETER DENS is held by the Catholic Church. Dr. CARRUTHERS says he never heard either of old PETER or his book till they were both resuscitated by M'GIIEE and O'SULLIVAN at Exeter-Hall. We have received the whole of the Paris papers of Wednesday. They do not contain a word of news to which we can attach the shadow of importance. The secession of M. HUMANN from the Cabinet conti nues to engross the attention of the political circles of Paris, probably because it is supposed that he will be soon followed by some of his colleagues. There are. but two Members of the French Cabinet for whose retirement we are particularly anxious. 'These are the Duke de BROGLIE and M. PERSIL. The departments of War and Justice could not be worse filled than they are at present ; albeit, there are but few points of comparison between the two Ministers. M. de BROGLIE is unquestionably a man of much abi lity, great acquired information, and tolerably straight forward in his views. But he is the dupe of R usstA, and therefore a dangerous guardian of the dignity of France. M. PERSIL is a man of no fixed political principles ; his opinions of the merits of any question depend upon the sentiments of the KING, for whose sovereign wisdom, as well as power, the Minister of Justice entertains the most profound reverence. The Chamber of Deputies was engaged during the sitting of Tuesday in the discussion of a project of law for the repair of the vicinal roads of France, which, according to the report of the committee whose duty it was to enquire into the general state of the public roads, involves interests more important to the national welfare than the immediate laying down of railways. The Court of Peers are still engaged with the trial THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 1836 of the prisoners of April. The trial of FIESCIII will, it is reported, commence on the 30th inst. The time calculated for its continuance is about ten or eleven days at the utmost. In this country such a Lila would not occupy three 'days ; but the French Courts of Ju dicature conduct their proceedings with an apparent view to the protraction of justice. Days are spent in putting the most frivolous questions ; and to be present in a French Court of Justice is to witness time spent by legal functionaries in learning every thing but the facts necessary to the determination of a trial. The accounts from Bayonne are to the 17th inst. ; but we learn nothing from them of which we have not a superabundance nearer home—namely, vague opi nions, based upon as vague probabilities. CORDOVA is said to be almost as destitute of money as the Car- lists ; and what is still stranger, desertions on both sides are becoming more frequent than they ever were before. In fact it appears as if a considerable number of the belligerents wished to exchange sides, and re fight their battles under opposite banners. Don CARLOS is still at Onate. PARIS, JAN. 20.--The naval preparations at Toulon are not discontinued, and it is still believed that an expedition to the Levant is intended. There are at this moment in the roads, and ready for sea, six ships of the line, the Mon tebello, Scipio, Triton, Ville de Marseille, Nestor, and Al gesiras, and the Iphigenie and Artemise frigates., The Tri dent of the line, and the Cybele frigate will soon be ready, and the Galalhe will be in the roads in a few days. It seems certain that all the smaller vessels which are now fit ting out, will be attached to the squadron now in the roads. The half official letters from Vienna by no means agree with what some journals say of the sentiments of the Austrian Government with respect to Spain. Far from confirming the pretended refusal to admit the agents of Queen Christina, announced by the Swabian Mercury, they on the contrary speak of two letters written by the Emperor to that Prince, and of the conciliatory intentions of Prince Metter nich. 7 With respect to the affairs of Don Carlos, notwith standing the intrigues of Russian diplomacy, and the impor tunities of the Italian Court, they are in the same situation at Vienna as before. The Emperor refuses to furnish any further subsidies, orders severe measures against the emigrants who came to his dominions, and openly blames Charles Albert. One of his Ministers, in reply to some recent importunities, answered that Austria has nothing to do with Don Carlos till he shall be at Madrid. Some Carlists who have escaped as by a miracle from the massacres at Barcelona, and who have arrived at Toulon on board the Sylphe brig, Capt. del Cosamel, are going to be sent for the present to Avignon.—Messager, Jan. 20.

A few days ago, we announced with approbation and praise that the Ministry had granted an honourable dis tinction to M. Laurent de Garcias, member of the French Chamber of Deputies, and one of those who have most favoured the unfortunate Spaniards whom ill-fate has con demned to wander in penury and want through foreign lands. There are others to whom, in our opinion, the Government ought to give signal proofs of esteem and gratitude in the name of the Spanish nation. If we are told that in expressing such a wish we are actuated by a personal, though noble, attachment, or at least by a feeling common only to a small portion of our countrymen, our answer will be an acknowledgment of the truth of the ob servation ; since, if we have to be grateful for favours re ceived by us and our companions in toil and misfortune, our country ought to be equally so, since they were conferred upon her in the persons of her sons. If the benefactors of the once exiled Spaniards had been united by private friendship to those whom they so kindly relieved, gratitude could be expected only from those who had been thus fa voured. But they distinguished Spain, the enlightened and liberal portion of Spain, and with generosity and regard, assisted a small and perhaps least meritorious portion forced by misfortune to take refuge in a foreign land. _ _ The hand which relieved, the voice which honoured the expatriated, assisted and exalted, not a few private indivi duals, but a noble cause and a nation. Pausing to name one or two persons, we will say that the English Lieutenant-General, Sir Thomas Dyer, holding the same rank in Spain, ought to have been replaced in the list of our officers, in which he was in 1814, and again from 1820 to 1823. Besides the merit of liberally relieving the Spanish exiles, this most generous supporter of their cause possesses that of being the first who, as an ally, landed in our country in 1808, and of bestowing considerable sums on our charitable institutions, when he revisited us in 1821. We find, however, that by a decree of the 30th of De cember last, this excellent person is justly reinstated in his rank ; but we repeat our wish to see him distinguished with one of those honours which cost nothing, but which, given in a seasonable moment, are highly valued. Merits similar to those so justly rewarded in our friend M. de Garcias have been displayed by the Eng lishman, Mr. F. Freshfisld. It is incredible how much the Spaniards owe him, and to add to his merits it must be related how much he had to en dure from that discontented ill-humour in which the unfor tunate are so apt to indulge. We are aware that this de serving person must be surprised, and, in our eyes, with reason, that Spain has not yet shown him the slightest mark of her gratitude for all he has done for her sons. Engaged by a thousand affections to the Spanish name, which we would not have stained with ingratitude, we submit this subject to the notice of the Government and to the public opinion ; and, if we cannot obtain anything else, we shall at least have marked out to our countrymen some of the benefits conferred upon us, not for our own per sonal merits, but because we were Spaniards and Liberals —benefits for which every Liberal Spaniard ought to be grateful. TALES OF THE AItTIC VOYAGER.—The pre sent perilous situation of our countrymen, ice -bound in the Northern seas, has given renewed interest to this work, which narrates with great pathos and power the perils and pursuits of mariners in those fearful regions —the geo graphy and natural phenomena of a wonderful and unfre quented part of the globe, where every object is a marvel and a mystery. The author, who is a friend of Captain Scoresby, has often been a voyager in the scenes he so forcibly describes. Indeed, of the few modern writers who have successfully delineated the lives, pursuits, and eccen tricities of seamen, the author of these admirable tales is, perhaps, the most remarkable, not even excepting Captain Marryat. While, at one moment, the various mysteries and secrets of the mighty deep are unfolded with awful effect, at another, the reader is amused to his heart's content with the playful humour of the writer, which is of the spirit and quality of Washington Irving, combined with incomparably more force and vivacity. We may acid, what we believe is not generally known, that the popular drama of the Wreck Ashore," and several others, have been taken from this most interesting work, which, we are glad to ob serve, is now, like so many other excellent ones, published in three cheap four shilling volumes.

Monday last being the day fixed on for the entertain ment given by the inhabitants of the town and county of Galway to the Honourable Member for Dublin, at an early hour the streets of Tuam, where it was determined on that the dinner should take place, were crowded by the gentry of the surrounding country, as well as by thousands of the peasantry who flocked to pay their tribute of respect to the Liberator on his arrival amongst them. This was the first visit paid by Mr. O'Connell to the town of Tuam ; and never was there greater enthusiasm manifested on any occasion than on this. The inhabitants vied with each other in marking their sense of his services, and their de voted attachment to his person. A large triumphal arch was erected from the Town-house to the opposite side of the street, tastefully decorated with branches of laurel and of palm. From almost every window hung banners with appropriate inscriptions, all expressive of the cordial wel come with which they hailed the presence of their great deliverer. Bonfires blazed in every street ; joy was upon every countenance ; loud and hearty as they were fervent were the cheers for Mr. O'Connell. At three o'clock the streets of Tuam were literally one living mass of human beings, and we think ourselves under the mark, in estimating the numbers at 50,000 souls. A little before five o'clock a shout from the crowd proclaimed the near approach of the object of their regards, and never did we hear a heartier welcome given to the Hon. Gentle man in any part of Ireland. Mr. O'Connell having par taken of luncheon at the Archbisnop's, proceeded at about half-past six o'clock to the Mitre Hotel, in his progress meeting with the most ardent demonstrations of popular enthusiasm which hailed his arrival. Here follows a description of the dinner, at which not less than 400 persons were present. The publication of the report of the speeches is postponed. MEETING AT SLIGO.—On Monday a meeting of the in habitants of the county and town of Sligo took place. There could not have been fewer than THREE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED persons present. A great many of them were the frieze-coated men of the county, substantial far mers and freeholders. The utmost unanimity, and most spirit-stirring enthusiasm pervaded the whole assemblage. A requisition, to which were affixed no fewer than one hundred unexceptionable signatures, was originally pre sented to the High Sheriff of the county, Mr. Thomas Jones, attorney-at-law. That functionary, however, declined to convene the meeting, on the alleged ground, that the re quisition was not sufficiently " respectable" to justify him in convening his bailiwick. The requisition, which was thus characterized by the sheriff, was signed by five deputy lieutenants and two members of Parliament. _ _ In the absence of the sheriff's official sanction of the meeting, it was specially convened by the following Deputy Lieutenants :—Sir James Crofton, Bart. ; Fitzstephen French, Esq., M.P. ; Edward Howley, Esq., J.P. Shortly after one o'clock the chair was taken amid the most enthusiastic cheering from every part of the large as semblage, by Sir James Croften, Batt., of Longford House, county of Sligo, who briefly stated the object with which the meeting had been convened—for a purpose so con stitutional and strictly loyal, that it struck him with amazement how an individual could possibly be found, holding a rank and station in the county, who had suf ficient hardihood to treat the original requisition as the High Sheriff had treated it. Richard Everard, Esq., in an eloquent speech, called the attention of the meeting to the resolution and address, which he had the honour of proposing. The following is the address which, with the resolution, was adopted unanimously. TO HIS EXCELLENCY HENRY CONSTANTINE, EARL MULGRAVE, LORD LIEUTENANT-GENERAL AND GENERAL GOVERNOR OF IRELAND. MAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY,-We, his Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the freeholders and inhabitants of the county and of the town of Sligo, by public requisition in county meeting, duly assembled, offer to your Excellency our most cordial congratulation on the happy results which have attended your government of Ireland. We feel and acknowledge that to the wise and liberal policy adopted by his Majesty's Ministers; to the just, firm, vigorous and impartial administration of your Excellency, are to be attributed the present peaceable state of the country, the total disappearance of the agrarian insurrections, which, under a different system and under other governors, were of such fre quent recurrence ; aid, above all, that confidence in the due administration of justice with which our people are now, for the first time, so generally inspired. Sincerely do we hope that his Majesty's Ministers, unmoved and uninfluenced by the clamour, or the calumny, or designs of a disappointed and fallen faction, will steadily persevere in the same line of enlightened policy, and thereby still more ensure the public peace, attach to his Majesty's government and person the affections of a generous people, promote the general prosperity of the empire, confirm the stability of the monarchy, and secure the legitimate line of succession to the throne. To you, my Lord, individually, we tender the expression of our most profound respect and regard, and through you we beg to have conveyed to his Majesty the homage of our de voted loyalty and attachment, together with our most dutiful and grateful thanks, for having selected as his representative in Ireland, a nobleman who, in another government and dis tant clime, proved himself well qualified to fill the most ex alted stations, and to direct to a happy accomplishment mea sures of the most momentous importance. A COUNTRYMAN MURDERED AND THREE OTHER{ DAN. GEROUSLY WOUNDED. SLIGO, MONDAY, JAN. 18.—At a place called Banada, within three miles of the village of Tubercorry, which latter place is about sixteen miles distant from the town of Sligo, the murder of a countryman named Roddy was perpetrated on Wednesday last by a policemman named Black, under circumstances of the most deliberate atrocity. Black is, I understand, an Orangeman, and the - deceased was a Roman Catholic. To this difference of religious persuasion alone can the murder of the latter be traced. The details of this barbarous and cold-blooded murder, as elicited at the coro ner's inquest, were as follows. On Saturday a jury of farmers of the surrounding district was sworn. The following is a summary of the evidence ta ken by the Coroner : On Wednesday last a party of the Revenue police, amounting to 12 in number, and commanded by an officer, proceeded in the direction of Tobercorry, on an information which they had received on the subject of private distilla tion in that district. On arriving at the place described they observed an old man walking at some distance from them, with a small keg on his shoulders. They pursued and immediately overtook this individual, but found upon examination that the keg contained only water. In consequence of their disappointment at finding the contents of the keg strictly legal, it appeared that they maltreated the old man, upon which a number of the country people assembled ; and, inflamed by the represen tation of the old man, assailed the police at a distance with stones. The police then charged upon the people with fixed bayonets, and wounded three of them—two very seri ously. The country people fled, and the police returned in the direction of their quarters. One of their body named Black lingered behind the rest and seeing the deceased, Roddy, in an adjoining field, took deliberate aim with his musket, and shot him dead. . _ The daughter of the deceased was examined upon oath by the Crown, and deposed to the fact as here stated ; so lemnly declaring besides, that so far from the slightest pro vocation having been given by her father, he was " clamp ing " turf at the time together with her, and had not taken the slighest part in the previous conflict. When Black fired the deceased was in the act of completing a turf-stack, and the next moment after she beard the re port, she saw her father " jumping up ever so high into the air, and then falling, with a shriek that went through her, into the bog-hole beside them." Her identification - of Black, as the murderer, was of the most perfect description, and under circumstances of very considerable difficulty. Black usually wore large black whiskers ; but these he shaved off completely on the day of the inquest, and took his place in a line of upwards of 20 of the revenue police, who marched out upon that day to Banada. She did not delay an instant in recognizing him, but pointing him out im mediately, exclaimed—" There he is ; I know him well, though he has strove to disguise himself ; I'd know him to eternity ! " The Jury found a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Black, who was stripped of his arms, and marched off in custody to Tubercorry, from whence he was subsequently removed to Sligo gaol, in order that he may stand his trial at the ensuing assizes.---Dublin Register. INQUEST AT SHANDRUM.—This inquest was brought to a close at four o'clock on Sunday morning, when the Jury, who had retired at nine o'clock on the preceding evening, after having been charged by the Coroner, brought in the following verdict :—" That the deceased, Terence Sweeny, came by his death in consequence of a gun-shot wound from one of several shots from a party of police, fired in discharge of their duty, and while repelling a tithe infuriated assem blage." HomIcIDE.—A Correspondent of the Limerick Times gives an account of the Coroner's inquest on the body of a man, said to be a Rockite. The verdict returned was— " That the deceased, Michael Ward, was shot dead by George Reed, in defence of his life and property." TITHES—CONTEMPLATED COUNTY MEETING.—We are quite warranted in stating, from various sources of in formation, and from communications which have reached us through different channels, that a general, if not uni. versa], conviction, is now entertained by the whole body of the Tory and Conservative gentry of the County, that the period has arrived when it is not longer possible to postpone the consideration in a full county meeting of the nature anl extent of the existing evil, and of the most efficient means of providing for the spiritual wants of the members of 'the Established Church, without an intolerable pressure on the landed interest.—Cork Reporter. The (Orange) Mail says, " Lord Mulgrave has expe rienced another defeat in Kerry, where the High Sheri ff has refused to call a meeting to congratulate his Excel lency upon the successful efforts he is making to bring ruin upon the country. Mr. Browne, a Roman Catholic Deputy Lieutenant, has undertaken the task ; but the result will be, as it has been every where else, a total failure." [The event will prove our contemporary a false prophet.] REPRESENTATION OF CLO N MEL.—In consequence of the sudden death of Dominick Ronayne, Esq., the late Member for Clonmel, we understand that Mr. Richards, the Solicitor-General, left town on Saturday evening, with a view of canvassing the electors.—Dublin Freeman.
