A great improvement has taken place in the representation
of domestic and faMiliar subjects on a small scale. There is
an entertaining variety of figures in this natalconversazione,
and they are all tiro actively emplored in asserting their own
privilege of speech, to allow it to each other.

We do not remember to have met with any work of this
Artist before, but he posseSSes merit that well entitles him to
notice. There is much mechanical shill displayed in this
picture, but we conceive that the Poacher ought to have
shown more of the subtle rogue than of
.the stupid clown in
the expression of his countenance. • .

GENERAL ELECTION.-TitINITY COLLEGE.
' MR. CROKER..-.MR. PLUNKETT.

(From The Patriot, a respectable Journal of Dublila.)

Secretary CROKER is, as we have. al-
ready stated, aCamtidate for the Rept ee,ntatiuu
of the University of Dublin in the
• next I'arlia-
rneat. Some few (lays since an active canvas was
commenced by the friends of Mr. CHOKER on his
behalf in the College Courts;
,and site arrival of
that Gentleman in town► yesterday enabled him to
proceed personally to the completion of this ob-
ject. From the information accessible to us, Mr.
CROKER way, we think, and Most sincerely hope,
repose in little short uf• a positive certainty of his
arriving at,the distinction to which he aspires.—
In any canvas of the Learned Body of our College,
Mr. CHOKER would have indeed, in- the affections
of many, the admiration of more, and the esteem
of all, the best earnests of success. His preten-
sions are not the culture of the hour—they are not
of exotic growth, or of an extrinsic nature ; they
er•e local, but not merely so ; they were fixed in
youth, and have strengthened with manhood.-
- Mr. CHOKER WAS the early friend, the elegant
collegiate companion, of several of the most dis-
tinguished members of that Corporation whom
it is now his honourable ambition to represent in
Parliament. His name must ever be associated
with their most pleasing recollections—his wit,
I►is pleasantry, his social ►banners, his suavity,
sweetening the relaxations from the graver pur-
suits of claSsical and scientific knowledge, will be
long remembered by his cotemporaries of Trinity
College. And now that the amiability of the
youth has matured into the worth of the man;
now that Mr. CHOKER has progressed, by the force
of his accomplishments and talents; from the
lege to the Senate ; from the Academic Berich to
the Ministerial Seat ; now that the Scholar has
merged into the Statesman, that the learning of
the one expands and brightens the abilities of the
other ; now, we say, that the late ornament of the
University is also an ornament to his country, who
so -fit to be a Representative of either as
WILSON CROKER

Let us not. be understood as measuring Mr.
CHOKER'S pretension to the honour he is desirous
of attaining by the mere standard of his private
worth, though few men possess more ; nor yet by
any parallel between them and his claims upon
the early friendships of several of the present
distinguished Heads of our University. It is upon
other grounds that we consider Mr. CaoKErt a
flinch more eligible Representative than -the pre-
sent Member, or, indeed, any other Gentleman.
No person, we do conscientiously believe, could
he .put in nomination, whose pretensions could
be put iii competition with those of Mr. CHOKER,
in many essential points of consideration. - His va-
rious talents, and their public usefulness
zeal in the public service, which never intermits;
his unwearied attention to his official and senato-
rial duties ; his capacity for business, his conde-
scending superintendance of its minutest details,—
his abilities as a statesman; all these • place Mr.
CHOKER prominently forward to therchoice of those
whose suffrages he courts, and all these, coupled
with those personal considerbtions which must also
influence a large portion of -the Collegiate Body,,
will give, we trust, when the time shall arrive
that is to determine their choice, to the Members
of Trinity College a Rep rc3cntative useful.to the
public and worthy of themselves.

Let us see how a contemporary of some weight
Canvasses the pretension of Mr. CanKER to the
honour of representing Dublin College. The
following passages we take from The Even-
ing Post of:Saturday. We need not say how
different are the political opinions, the poli-
tical principles, generally,. of the Conductors
of that Print from ours. But in this instance,
as in inany others, we give to The Even-
ing Post full credit for the liberality as w,ll
as the talents that distinguish its writings. We
will not say that the complimentary expressions
of these paragraphs are drawn from The Post as
compulsory tributes to candour and to truth. We
shall not •be either so uncandid or unfair, as to
detract from the liberality that has likewise plainly
suggested them : • .

" Pretensions are based either upon talents or services.—
That Mr. Plunkett has great talents, none will question. He
is au able and astute Lawfer ; and, though only an occasional
Visitor of the House of Commons—though he may he heard,
at intervals, in that Honourable Assembly—he was not, ex-
cept in cheering the Minister, on the War, very materially
felt. As a Representative for the College, we dare say he
was well; but is it not as good fur that Corporation to bare a
roan, who, from his Political Appointment, must be always
on the spot ? We will not presume to answer this question;
but, when that of talents really occur, we cannot consent to
put Mr. Crolier's pretension so far in the back-ground as
the partisans of Mr. Plunkett would seem to place it. On the
contrary, we veritably believe, that Mr. Croker is a man of
very considerable talents—that be has great eloquence—
great readiness, and it is acknowledged on all hands that
there has been se.dont such a Secretary to the Admiralty.
Here then are his services, to which' Mr. Plunkett has no-
thing to oppose, &c. &c.
" However, we shalt not discuss, at least for• the present,
the respective merits of these, Candidates. But we cannot
help observing that there is one thing very'inueli in favour of
the Secretary of the Admiralty—namely, that his manners
and deportment are popular ;' that he comes to the Univer-
sity as being at one tune a distinguished and pleasant Mem-
ber of the Body—that he has nut that coy! and repulsive
pride, which sometimes, it is .true, is an attendant, and a
very ill-favoured one, on great talents, but which is as often
found to be the companion' of an insdierit and supercilious
temperament. At all events hauteur isqvit the necessary at-
tribute of Genius."

pressive of his approbation of the concession of

ed, he did not place much confidence.

against the Ditties on Coals and Culrn, carried coastwise.
Sir G. HILL presented a petition from the City of London-

Mr. PROTHEROE supported the petition.
Mr. LUSH;NGTON said,
,that the subject had been fre-

hardship on the Merchants of Bristol, the petition Was or-
dered to he on the table, awl to be printed.

Mr. CURWEN hoped his Hon. Friend would not press the
Bill this Session, as it was, in his opinion, more lil ely to be
injorious than beneficial to the country.
Sir C. MONCK made several observations in favour of the
Bill, and urged that he had heard no intelligible reasons for
withdrawing it.
The Hot/se then went into a Committee, and the Report
was ordered to be received to-morrow.
CITY PE"I'ITION AND FUNDS.

Sir W. cuwns called the attention of the House to the
Petition resyecting the Faints of the Corporation it London,
and the order of the House for their production. He entered
into several explanations to slew what expensive undertak-
ings the City had entered into in the building and improving
ofjails, which the inhabitants were not bound to do, and ar-
gued that it was not fair or just to cal4for the papers tlva had
been moved tor. In the time of Charles I. 99,7811. were grant-
ed by Parliament for building Newgate and other prisons,
which proved that the Corporation were not bound to find
funds for such purposes. lie therefore moved that the Peti-
tion of the City•of London, of the sth May, he referred to a.
Select Committee. _ .

Sergeant ONSLOW said, this was the last resort of the
City of London, who had protracted, by all manner of means,
complying with the order of the House of the .20.1 i of Feb-
ruary, fur producing their accounts : and now it must be evi-
dent, that if the Committee were to be granted, the Session
would be over before the Report could be made, and the
House woulll be unable to go into the charge of the misap-
plication of their funds. He should therefore move the pre-
vious question.
The question being put,
Sir J. SHAW made some observations in defence of the mo-
tion, and the conduct of the Corporation.
Mr. ‘VROTTEST,EY also supported the original motion.
Sir M. W. RIM.EY thought if the Corporation would nut
press fe.- the additional stun of money which they had applied
for, and fur which a Bill was before the House, it would be a
strong argument in favour of the motion, which he was in-
clined to support.
Mr. H. SUMNER thought the Petition the most extraor-
dinary that ever was presented. The Petitioners prayed to
he heard by Counsel against the orders of the House calling
for information. He had charged them, in plain terms, with
having embezzled '53,0001. by appropriating it to purposes
totally distinct from what they ought to have applied it to;
and now-they come to the House to demand 31,0001.'f0r com-
pleting a prison ; which he hoped they never would obtain.
Would the'City sit down under this imputation, instead of
vindicating their conduct by producing their accounts ? He
thought it was only the City of London who would have
dared to come to the House with such an application without
the accounts in their hands; and the manner in which the
application had been made, and their conduct respecting the
Orders, were the niost disrespectful-and contumacious
.that
could he. He alluded to the conduct of the Cimino!' Coun-
cil, in submitting the order for the accounts to Counsel ;' and
to his (Mr. S 's) sobsequent motion, that the accounts be;
produced forthwith, which lrid brought forward the Pet;tion,
the only object. of which was to evade the Orders of the
House.. Why should the wealthiest part of the community
he exempted from contributing- to the exnences of criminal
jails, while every other part of the country was botthened
with rates for sucli.ourposes? As to the accounts, he knew
that they.were all drawn alit, and only wanted to be copied,
which could he dour in two hours. The Petitiith was
to ire-
- relit these Accounts fe,m being produced; it was unexaut.
pled, and he should oppose it.
Mr. BF.NNF,T said he understood them funds were private
property, and under the protection of time Court of Chan-
eery. Any Member of the Corporation ,might go into the
Court of C hancery awl clai to its protection for them ; • aud,
therefore, he did not think it fit that the ll•inse shoolci
as if it had the power of that. Court, by arbitrarily calling for
such accounts. il.s "should support the motion.
Alderman WOOD asset ted that the Cor:airation hail not
embezzled one shilling of the Bridge He u-e Estates, out of
which the 53,0001. had been taken They had:lent the mo-
ney to the Commissioners of Sewers, and it ‘:.ould he re-
tattled. As to the 3.1 oaol. for the prison, it had been raid
out at the express recomme-dation of that House, the Co•a.
inittee having reported that the l'isw Prison was nu' su ti-
cieutiv large.--He was sorb the House would be perice.ly
satisfied, if they would allow this Petition to go to a Coat.
