MORNING SUN

IRELAND. --.

DUBLIN, Nov. 2.—lt appears that Mr. Lefroy is to
obtain the Judgeship rendered vacant by the retirement
of Mr. Justice Johnson. Baron Foster, it is stated, is to
go to the Common Pleas, as the successor of Judge John
son, and Mr. Lefroy is to become the Junior Baron in tho
Exchequer, in place of Baron Foster.
The appointment of Mr. Lefroy—the most thoroughly
Orange partisan in the country —to a Judgeship com-
pletely throws off the mask put- on by Sir Robert Peel,
Lord do Grey, and Lord Eliot, at the formation of the
Tory Ministry.
At the Orange meeting held in Marlborough-green,
in this city, in 1829, Mr. Sergeant Lefroy declared that
the passing of the Catholic Emancipation Bill would ab-
solve the Protestants of Ireland from their allegiance.

In the autumn of that year, the late Chief Baron Joy
waited upon Mr. Sergeant Lefroy, and intimated to him
that the Duke of Northumberland, then Lord Lieutenant

of Ireland, considered him so decided a partizan that he.
would be unfit to act as a Judge of Assize in place of
one of the Judges who hail been unable, on account of
illness, to go circuit. In consequence, Mr. Lefroy at
once resigned his sergeamtcy.
Yet this is the man whom Sir Robert Peel, Lord De
Grey, and Lord Eliot, after all their professions, consider
fit to fill the judgment-seat in Ireland ! Even to the
Tories, such an appointment is utterly disgraceful—it is

•
really infamous.
OPENING OF TERM.
November Term commenced this day. The Lord
Chancellor, Sir T. Sagden, presided in the Court of
Chancery. Twenty-five new Barristers were admitted,
seven of whom took the Roman Catholic oath. The

new Chief Jiistice of the Queen's Bench (Mr. Penne-

father) did not appear in Court.
THE NEW CORPORATION.
Yesterday the Lord Mayor was detained for a con-
siderable time at the Assembly-house after the adjourn-
ment, the crowd in the surrounding streets being so
dense that it was with great difficulty and delay his car-
riage could be brought to the house ; and to induce the
vast multitude to disperse, he presented himself at the
front window, dressed in his scarlet velvet robes and
cocked hat. This was xhe signal for cheers that wero

perfectly astounding. The -street presented a most
animated appearance, the windows, to the very topmost,
being filled with spectators, principally ladies, who, by
waving of handkerchiefs, marked their participation in
the general feeling. After an interval of some minutes
had elapsed before comparative silence could be obtained,
his Lordship addressed the mu'.titude. Ile said it was n
great day for Ireland.—(Great cheers.) lie wondered did
they know him as Lord Mayor.—(Cheering.) That day
was one of triumph for the principles of civil and reli-
gious liberty, and that, too, in a spot where they were
never heard of before. Were there, he asked, any tee-
totallers in the vast assembly which he saw before him ;
and, if so, he trusted they would celebrate that triumph
temperately and good humouredly, and that they would
imitate his example by emptying their glass in the
evening, but they should recollect it was only to be
filled with water.—(Cheers and laughter.) Oh ! what
a great day that was for old Ireland, when the Lord
Mayor of Dublin was a Repealer. It was only a fore-
taste of what they might expect for their country,
when she should enjoy their own independent and pro-
tective Legislature.—(Loud cheers.) lle begged of his
friends, after the triumph they had achieved, and, as.
he was fatigued by the labours of the day, to retire
peaceably and quietly to their respective homes, promis-
ihg them that it would not be the last time they should
have the pleasure of seeing him.—(Cheers.) • -
The Lord Mayor then descended and entered his pri-
vate carriage, still wearing his robes. It would be ut-
terly impossible to describe the enthusiasm with which:
his presence was hailed by the people ; the successii'6
peals of acclamation which rapidly followed on each
other were literally deafening. But here numbers were
doomed to disappointment ; not only those, the great
bulk of the assemblage, who had in vain expected a pub-
lic procession, notwithstanding every assurance to the
contrary, at least for the present, but thousands who had
congregated in College-green, particularly about. the
statue of King William. Instead of taking this course,
his Lordship, with whom was his secretary, Mr. O'Neil
Daunt, proceeded up William-street, passed through
King-street South, and across the Green to Dawson-
street. There the_carriage stopped before the Mansion-

house. His Lordship having alighted, entered the Man-
sion-house, went through some of the apartments, and,
re-entering his carriage, proceeded to Merrion-square,
where thousands had already assembled to await his
approach.
At about half-past three his Lordship alighted from
his carriage, and entered his house amid the most en-
thusiastic outburst of popular joy we ever witnessed.
After silence was restored, his Lordship took off his
hat, and addressed the people for a few minutes to the
following effect :
" A greater revolution has never occurred than that
which has been this day consummated. Fifty years ft,,.0,
who would have ventured to say that I should be Lord
Mayor of the City of Dublin ? Yet I now address you
as the Chief Magistrate of this great metropolis. Let
them, then, tell me, if they dare, that I won't carry the
repeal of the Union, and that I, who am now the
Catholic Lord Mayor of Dublin, elected by the popu-
lar voice, shall not have the still greater honour of
being elected to serve you in the, Irish Rouse of
Commons. Yes, I shall yet address the Speaker of
the Irish Parliament in College-green.—(Tremendous
cheers.) Now that I am the guardian of your
rights, it shall be niy diity to use every energy to
promote and advance the interests of your city, to
encourage morality, and discounteaance vice. In doing
so, one great means shall be to use my utmost endea-
vours for the spread of teetotalism. Oh ! give me my
honest teetotaller. My friends, you have gained a great
and a glorious triumph—you have gained that triumph
in a manner worthy of yourselves—your triumph is one
of peace—that of liberto over oppression—of reli3Ons
equality over sectarian exclusiveness. In your. Struggle
for this great end no riot, no tumult, no bloodshed has
characterised your proceedings—there is nothing to cloud
your joy. Enjoy, then, your triumph in the same spirit
as that in which it has been achieved. This is, indeed, a
great day for Ireland. We can triumph' over the ene-
mies of our country without injury to any man—without
insult, or molestation, or offence. We want to be su-
perior to none—we are now their equals in everything,
and it is not for us to seek for more—we never
wanted more—we are satisfied with equality-we now
have it carried into practice. (Loud cheers.)
lam now your chief magistrate—to me you have en-
trusted the peace and tranquillity of your city.' I 'iced.
not tell you that in that capacity I will, to the utmost o£
my power, exert the strictest impartiality, and in every-
thing, I know, I can rely on your support and cordial
co-operation.—(Cheers.)
His Lordship retired from the balcony amidst the most
deafening cheers. The vast concourse, whose conduct
on this day of national triumph had been marked through-
out by the most exemplary order and inoffensive demea-
nour, then retired, and the most perfect tranquillity'
reigned in the city during the remainder of the evening.
THE NATIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
The weekly meeting of this body was held to-day at
the Corn Exchange. Shortly before one o'clock the
Lord Mayor entered, and was received with loud and
prolonged on the motion of his -Lord-
sip, Awas called to the chair.

ORANGE OUTRAGE ON MR. MURPHY.
The worst feature about this outrage is, that it was
perpetrated under the impression that it was a Boman
Catholic Prelate that the miscreants had in their hands,
and that it was
an aged and helpless Divine that they
were thus ill-treating and insulting. We are not enabled,
at present, to point out the chief perpetrators of this
nefarious act ; all we know is, that a number of the
gentry of Tipperary and the neighbourhood assembled
at Caber that day, for the rate::.
We understand that Mr. Murphy has made a fall
statement of the whole.proceeding to Lord Eliot, who
received him courteously, and, of course, pr,,mised
n
redress ; but what can he expect from 'A Govein_nic.rt.
