DUBLIN ELECTION.

(From the Dublin Patriot of Wednesday.)
Glorious triumph of reason over prejudice ! ! Mr.
Croker is elected by a majority of Nine. At the conclusion
of the Poll the numbers were-- •

For Mr. Croker 98
Mr. North 2g
Mr. Lefroy 22
so that the united number for the two liberal Members,
Croker and North, were sixty-seven, while intolerance and
Lefroy could only muster twenty-two. Mr. Crokerre-
turned thanks to the electors, for the honour just conferred
upon him ; and as our Reporter left the Hall, Mr. North
was proceeding to address the electors. Sergeant Lefroy
retired previous to the state of the Poll being announced.
Some votes were tendered by Scholars, who had ceased to
have the right of election, according to the rules of the
College. - They were all disallowed by the Assesscr.

LATEST FROM THE EXPERIMENTAL

SQUADRON,

The Vigilant ketch, Lieutenant Meredith, arrived on
Saturday from a cruise to the westward, having com-
municated with, and brought dispatches from, the Ex-
perimental Squadron, under Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas
Hardy. We learn by her, that the Sapphire, up to
the 9th instant, proves the next best ship to the Chal-
lenger ; and that one day she even beat the latter off
the wind, but it was very light. The Columbine
is said to have beat the whole squadron on the same
wind. The Columbine is only great (and then not
equal to the Challenger) on a wind, in strong breezes
and very smooth water ; but with any sea or swell
is not equal to the other corvettes. The Wolf is cer-
tainly the best of the corvettes, and on one or two oc-
casions has beat the best of the squadron. The
Satellite and Acorn are fine ships, but as yet they have
not hit upon their trim. These two ships took in fifteen
tons of additional ballast in Bantry Bay, and it served to
improve the Acorn, but not the Satellite. It appears that
the Trinculo, 18, Captain Patton, stands no chance with
any of the squadron on any point of sailing ; and that the
Alert, Captain Burgess, though ship-rigged, is the worst
of all, being frequently hull down at the close of the day.
The Pyramus, 42 (flag ship), is beat by all the squadron
on a wind, except the Alert; and off the wind by all ex-
cept the Alert and Trinculo. On Sunday the 4th inst.,
it is said they had heavy weather, when the Challenger
the Trinculo and Alert hull
started a-head, then the Sapphire, Wolf, Satellite, and
with close-reefed topsails ; and during the trial tacked under
dCc°lwunn,'biinnea'bonuetaifilyveeqhourausl ;.
They appear to have started
that sail (without baling down the jib, or easing off the jib-
sheet) in a heavy sea..—. Plymouth Journal.
