DUBLIN.

On Thursday, Jan. 8, an assembly of the Fellows, Scholars, Masters, and Doctors of the University was convened in the Theatre, Trin. Coll., for the Election of Two Members to represent the University of Dublin in Parliament. At ten o'clock, the Provost of Trinity College, accompanied by Barth. Lloyd, Esq., the Assessor, took their seats in the Hall; Frederick Shaw, Esq., A.M., Recorder of Dublin, was proposed by the Rev. Dr. Wall, Senior Fellow of Trinity College, and seconded by Richard Warren, Esq., K. C.; Thomas Lefroy, Esq., LL.D., was proposed by the Vice-Provost, and seconded by the Rev. Dr. Prior, Senior Fellow of Trinity College, and his claims were further advocated by John Mc Caul, Esq., A.M.; Mr. Pollock, an ExScholar of Trinity College, then stood up and

proposed Edward Berwick, Esq., as an advocate of Reform in Church and State, and a determined opposer of the principles professed by his Majesty's present ministers: this proposal was received with the utmost marks of disapprobation-shouts resounded from all sides of the Hall, and parties of the Undergraduates appeared decorated with orange and blue ribbons, and carrying orange flags, whose ardour in resisting the nomination of a Candidate on radical principles overcame for a considerable time every effort to restore order. For three hours Mr. Pollock continued speaking, amidst repeated interruptions, pouring forth the usual common places against Toryism, tithes, union of Church and State, &c., and dealing very largely in personal invective against Dr. Lefroy, whom he accused of ignorance of the law, place hunting, inefficiency as a member of Parliament, absence from his post, opposition to the education commission, advocacy of abuses, &c. &c. At length he retired, and Mr. Moses Gray, a Scholar of Trinity College, and an Undergraduate, was put forward to second Mr. Berwick; but, before he was allowed to speak, the Provost, according to Act of Parliament, demanded security for the expenses of the election. For this the party was not prepared they declared that the clause of the Act referred to did not apply, because Mr. Berwick, although not present, had consented to be named as a Candidate, aud they demanded time to procure securities. The Provost waited for half an hour, and as no securities appeared, he stood up and pronounced Dr. Lefroy and Mr. Shaw duly elected to serve in Parliament for the University. The elected members then returned thanks, in speeches which were received with enthusiastic cheering. Mr. Shaw's speech was listened to with marked silence, and produced a deep impression on the whole assembly. The design of those who attempted to propose Mr. Berwick, does not appear, indeed they had any design beyond that of causing confusion.-A letter from Mr. Berwick appeared in the public prints the day after, disclaiming all knowledge of their intention, and declaring that had he been aware of it, he would have saved the University from the interruption their proceedings had received, and himself from the appearance of intolerable presumption.
