My reason for d ...faring this is, lest Gentlemen should +gine that I should be the first to petition Parlianient, and if they should feel themselves aggiseved by waiting fur me, they may lose the opportunity that is afforded them. I have beard that a certain degree of sadicule is cast upon me fax having been the first p.rscol to declare to the county my own personal unpopdarity. I certainly have done so, and alter the explanation have here given. I certainly think I need not be afraid to bear the consequences.

MR. H. THORNTON•S DINNER. The Gentlemen in the Borough, in the interest of Mr. H. Thornton, assembled on Tuesday, to the number of ne.it 400„at the Horns Tavern, Kennington. Lieutenant Colonel GatriltaLt, Commander ot the First Regiment of Surry Volunteers, wts in case Chair. The health of The Kiez, titz. was drank. Mr. H. THoameon's health being giver, that Gentleman rose and thanked his conuttuents for having now returned him no less than seven timer to Parliament. He remembered, that when he First offered himself for the Borough, having waited on the Representatives of the then deceased Mr. Thrale. it was observed to him, that he certainly would succeed (as indeed he did) by a great ma• jo. icy, for that the Borough approved of a mercantile charaßer. and that his family name would be a re commendation to him; that he probably also would conic in a second time, possibly Ithird ; .1 lite, young mm," it was added.

Mr. Threle, be believed. was a very honest poli tician ; he was truly, and to the end, that independ ent and disinterested man. wLicli. in the last of his advertiseinents (an advertisement which Mr. I'. happened to have recently seen) he had represented himself to be. He huh relive, yielded too much to that treating system, which, by the later deci sions of Parliament. and by the virtue of the leading Gentlemen of the Borough, had now been neatly exploded He had, however, descended to no im. worthy means of cultivating dick favour; be had not been used to flatter, even nom the hustings s be had been the associate or men of name and talents I and Mr. Thorntin was happy to pay this tribute to his memory. in the nesting of many conneetions of Mr. Unite. who now sat near him.

It had torn his int err-rely to resent a eviiitinn on the subjeet, which he was bound to do. He had been sometimes also charged with supporting the Wet Docks, to •ha prej a lic.: t.f *e Borough. The Parliament, he said, Gal we'll drawn that subject as much as peesilin! trern 1:i -o scine locally connected with the metropolis, by Ala pointing a Committee of Members, not item e-ie ! in the tomorion, by whose report they had been guided. lie had no conneetion with the Wet Docks, or share in them ; he had, leivionar. bleu instrumental in recommending a clause ill Cumpt- , .- sation; and. as a commis..ioner of compensation, hid thought it bin dory to bestow much tint and trouble arm the business. He had neird as over fault imputed to him, that of not being suiliciently 'dive in his own personal oinniss. lie lio n , how. ever, made every day what his Hon. Friend, the Colonel in the Chair, would deem a long day's match ; he had usually walked for at least so oi eight hours, everting himself as mulch as his bodily strength permitied him, and had Imo-ever, h? con fessed, felt a little unwilling to convert rie digni fied business of an elention. into a sort of toot-race. It was further said by some (this indeed was a very light objection. but he would give a grave answer to it), that he had been full long a Mem ber. and that others should take their turn. if it were true (as was sometimes assumed), that in pro poruou as men aoe long in Parliament. they fore their independence, and their political integrity and purity of character, there would undoubtedly be much reason in chnoisig fresh aid fresh Mem bers ; he would, howev er , ve nt ure t o affi r m, th a t he ha d grown more and more sensible of the high importance of placing his political character above suspicion ; and he could now look them boldly iii the face, and my, that he was conseiou, of wit having converted the sacred trust which they had conimitnd to him, to the purposes of either private emi.lument or personal am bition. He felt also, dist expesien.e in Parlia ment was of some value, and he was persuaded that the same to-Ing must be 'fest of his Constituents. Mr. Thornton tn,a adverted generally to his poll- tical opinions. He had professed to be a man of independence. He had done this, not with a view of affeding a preeemnence over other persons, but because by this language he hest explained his own peculiar opinions. Ever since be had been in Par liament, he had lamented the too great prevalence of party spirit. There had usually been an Opposi tion Patty, which had pursued (es he did not doubt), the public good, according to their own views of the subject, b u t who seemed to consider thei. own ad vancement into power as the best means of promot ing that public good. They had often urged po pular topics ; they had been zealous in pursuing public delinquents • they had been useful in ex posing the errors o f the Government. and had been a check upon them ; but they bad often exaggerated their tanks ; they had inflamed the popular discon tent ' • and bad too much countenanced men d is posed to fa ction. l'hey appeared to him to have embarked in a too systemnto warfare with the Government, and to have considered the gaining of a question as the carrying of a post, and to have hoped, by gaining post aster post, at length to take the Citadel. By playing the game of politic, in this warmer. alley seemed to bassi net to ad very constitutionally ; fur the British Constitution, as he understood ir, re cognised no regular Oppconioa Party, formed in battalion, and always 'ding against the Govern. merit. 11 sometimes happened that a young Mem ber of the House of Commons used the term of " Opposition Benches." or n Opposition Party" in his speech, and when he was guilty oi this inadver- 1 tence, it was common for me Speaker to interpose, and to observe to him, that this was not Parliatnent ary language, for that the House knew of no such thing as Opposition Benches, or Opposition P There was undoubtedly a bench in the House appropriated to the Members of Administration. hut all the other pans of it were assumed to be filled by Mambas. ezetcising a fair. impartiol, deliberate judgment, tar the meanies twooght before them, without reference to party.— Tome ancient rules indicated, in some degree, the true nature and spirit of our Constitution. Men engaged in parry were tempted to swerve from the path of rectitude. They were tempted to represent objets as practicable, which they themselves, if they were in power, could not accompliel ; to describe evils as avoidable. which they themselves could not avert ; to encourage discontents, which, if they were in Administration, they would wish to quiet; and to identify thennelvelwith persons, from whom, if they were become the Executive Government, it would instantly be found necessary to separate. There was also this inconvenience in yielding to the violence of party spirit, that if a coalition should take place, as it sometimes must, with individuals who had been uniformly and vehemently opposed, it would appear to the public that some sacrifice of con sistency had taken 'dice, and it would be well if a third party, a thousand times more violent, ex. travagant, and unconstitutional in its ptinciples, del .tot arise and defame the leading chnraeters in the state, instead of complaining merely of the too great prevalence of party sphit among us. He was very far from wishing to degrade, in this manner, all the leading charntiers which this count, y had produced. He believed that those who had been vielent as party-mess, might often do good service to the public, es men in office. He had thought favour ably, in many respells, of the condud of the late Ministry, when in power, and had proportionally given them his support. Men entering into Mi. now'', menially assumed the charafter of Ministers. One of the chief points on which he had dittoed from those Gentlemen, hid been a point to which they had been inclined by their opposition princi ples. liy a course of service as Oppositionists, they acre naturally led to conceive too much of them selves as hiving a right to office, though they might in terms allow the King both to nominate and dis miss His Miaisters. According to his judgment. it belonged to the King to appoint the Administra tioa, and it was the proper province of Parliament a f terwar d s t o judge of their conduct, and of the legislative measures proposed to them. He was, therefore, aaxinus not to do any thing which might indireetly operate as a negative on their which he shetdd carry with him to the new P.-- !lament. He should judge of the measures the present Administration as he had done of ;: • last, with candour and fairness. He trusted that p- - ceeding on the•eprimeipi ts, I.e should be found at .:11 times consistent with himself Hr should be tits ...id ftithltil both to the pr. re s of the Crown, and the rights of the pople, t' teigh he might not 1....4r faithful and true allegian:o t Any patty.

We noticed in our Paper, 4 few days !go. the origin of this Institution. T.ie p•intary ohj.l. ere understand, is to encourage and reward thalassic* of ottr native Artists, by opening, annually, a Poe- LIC EXHIBITION fsr the sale of their predations 4 to excite the emulation and crertiNts of the younir,i Artists by Neu out 4—and to endeavour to tom a Poetic GALLERY of the works of British Artists. Such are the avowed Atli laudable purp sees ethical thoystriotie DireCtors are desirous to accomplish. At the dos: of their ti:st Exhibition, in itily last, the Governors had the gratification to finsijheir la: boors crowned with as much success as most sanguine of its promoters :Gold have anticipated The Pidures that were s!)1‘.1 anger their auspices. in t'.e British G4Uery (free e.f cxxi-rise to the artist.), amounted to near :;.1 McQuaid poem's. _ _ To found a firm basis for future professional im provement, was the next and grand point Inwards which the Institution had bent their attention. in aid of the younger stud-ors in painting; midair* no time might be lost. the plan was adopeed of opening the Gallery in ape minaret months, as it school for the studying and copying the works of the ancient masters ; and, in order to carry die judicious measure into elle& several of the Go vernors of the Institution, who are in periession of some of the finest produkioaa of the old master* were solicited to give assistance to the execution of this plan, by the loan of one or more of their piCtures, so as to form a coUeaion of a few of the Hoeft specimens in each class of the art, for the study and imitation of the students.
