Out of the 658 there have been already re turned 646 representatives. Twelve more alone re main to be added to the full number completing the Commons House of Parliament. And of those already returned (that is of the 646), according to the I imes, 380 are Liberals and 266 Conservatives—leaving to the former, therefore, 114 as a clear majority. Against this statement, however, of the chief organ of the Liberals, there is the counter-statement put forward by the chief organ of the Conservatives. The Standard's assertion being that the Constitu tionalists number already, out of the aggregate of 646 members even now returned, not 266, but 270 —a calculation which would show the clear majo rity of the Liberals to be not fourteen, but merely half-a-dozen in excess of the square hundred. The Standard, however, simply contents itself with setting forth this statement. It refrains from de monstrating by a very simple sum in arithmetic how it is that it arrives at this quotient. It undertakes to give no detailed analysis of the electoral returns already accumulated in the hands of all. It goes fur ther, nevertheless, than simply claiming 270 of the members now returned as avowed Constitutionalists. It expresses the greatest confidence that ten out of the 12 seats yet to be filled up, will be filled up by sup porters of the Government. So that, in that case, 280 out of the 658 being Conservatives, the Liberals would have a clear majority of 78 altogether—instead of either 6or 14 over the 100. Now, as usual, the truth, we believe,will be fouud in between these two ra ther rash and extravagant calculations—between the rose-coloured statement of the Liberals in;the Times and the rose-coloured statement of the Standard in the name of the Conservatives. The clear majority secured to the Opposition as the result of the General Election now upon the very eve of its completion, will, as we feel assured, and as we have often before now stated in so many words in these columns, be as nearly as possible upon the turn of the hundred. It was a clear majority of between 70 and 80 in the last Parliament. It will have im proved upon that in the new Parliament, as we have all along anticipated by a gain of between 20 and 30 altogether. The Spectator, we see, calcu lates to-day a just possible absolute majority of 101 —though it adds, " the real majority, we still believe, will exceed 105." Remembering the predictions which were so very confidently indulged in, when the elec tions commenced, by the more sanguine antagonists of the Government, the result thus arrived at partakes very much, indeed, of the character of a collapse. Mr. GL.-.DSTONE was to enter the house with a clear majority of 200. That was an assertion often in dulged in. The Conservatives were to be, in racing phrase, just simply nowhere. The Opposition had everything before them. The Leader was to be in stalled as a sort of Parliamentary Dictator or Politi cal Lord Paramount. The dwindling down of the Tory Party was to be a something utterly ludicrous and contemptible. The actual result has not, however, by any means realized these extravagant anticipa tions. The majority attained is conclusive as to the settlement of the question of the Irish Church —not off hand, but with all due deliberation and Parliamentary formality. But, while it it is so, it must, in simple honesty and jus tice, be conceded to the Conservatives that they make anything but a mean and contemptible show ; that on the contrary they still prove to absolute de monstration that they are a very considerable power in the State ; that they are foemen worthy of the steel of the Liberals ; that they confront their anta gonists with ranks which are not nemerically insigni ficant, any more than they are either undisciplined or disorganised. Mr. GLADSTONE will have now in 1868—as Sir R. PEEL had in 1841—a great, and at any rate for the time being an united party at his back, numbering, up at the lowest calculation, some 379, or thereabouts—giving him now in this matter of the Irish Church, as it gave Sir ROBERT PEEL then (seven and twenty years ago) in the matter of Protection, a clear majority of 100. But while these are the immediate probabilities on the one side there is the all but certainty on the other that Mr. GLADSTONE, so entering the House with that clear majority of 100 on the one sole question of the Irish Church, will find himself confronted in regard to all other ques tions by a very formidable antagonist, indeed, iu the person of Mr. DISRAELI at the head of his two hun dred and seventy odd Conservatives or Constitu tionalists I Mr. DISRAELI so confronting him, at the head of that formidable body of Constitu tionalists, in his capacity as Author of the last Re form Bill and as undisputed leader still of the country gentlemen of England ! A Conserva tive Statesman who has shown himself, by this last enormous measure of Parliamentary Reform, —which he has passed so very recently and so triumphantly—to be no obstructive, and who has yet at his back a serried mass of followers numbering up very nearly 280 altogether ! An antagonist, therefore, in no way to be contemned even by a Leader carried in on the heads of the people, and having upon one great question alone (the most prominent and urgent question of the hour however) a clear majority in his favour of 100 in a house of 658. No wonder, when the results of the General E!ection come thus to be scrutinized and analysed, no wonder that with a phalanx of 270 or 280 Conservative Representatives owning his authority as their leader ; no wonder we say that Mr. DISRAELI prefers not to be relegated himself to the House of Peers.

With a box of Holloway's pills and attention to its accompanying direc tions, he may feel thoroughly satisfied that he can safely and effectively release himself from hie miseries without impairing his appetite or distressing his digestion. By aiding natural nutrition, this excellent medicine raises the bodily strength to its extreme limits, and banishes a thou sand annoying forms of nervous complaints. An occa sional resort to Holloway's remedy will prove highly salutary to all persons whether well or ill, whose diges tion is slow or imperfect, usually evidenced by weariness, listlessness, and despondency. REMARKS. There is hardly any change in the distribution of barometrical pressure to be reported. There has been a general decrease, which does not exceed Min. at any station. Temperature remains almost unchanged. The winds over our islands are light from between N.B. and S.E The strong N.W. wind reported from the S.W. of France the last two days has subsided. Overcast and cloudy weather still continues, with a great deal of fog in the S. and W. ANOTHER MATTEL —A letter was published in the Herald in reference to Mr. Gladstone's opinions on the Irish Church a few days back, purporting to come from Mr. J. D. Coleridge, Q.C. The gentleman who forwarded that letter now writes to say that he has ascertained " it was written by Sir J. T. Coleridge, the chairman of Mr. Gladstone's committee, and not by Mr. J. D. Cole ridge, Q.C." TRIALS OF ORDNANCE.—Tho Ordnance Select Committee continued their trial on Friday of Colonel Inglis's wrought-iron gun-carriage for training heavy guns through small portholes. The carriage endured the tremendous shocks of twenty-five rounds from the 10-inch rifled gun with 401 b. and 6013. charges. The recoil was checked by the hydraulic buffer, which answered admi rably. Some of the new 10-inch shrapnel shell were also proved in this practice. VALUABLE LOAN. —A very remarkable result of the late Exhibition at Leeds has occurred in the generous proposal of Mr. Alexander Barker to allow the whole of his valuable contributions to the Exhibition, consisting of twenty of the most interesting and beautiful paintings, of the Italian schools of the 15th and 16th centuries, old bronzes, illuminated missals, drawings, ttc„ beautiful examples of porcelain and majolica, and carvings, to be left for exhibition at the Mechanics' Institute of that town for one year, gratuitously, and even without any conditions beyond such as are absolutely necessary for the safe guarding of his art treasures. Mr. Barker's desire and hopes are, that from his example other owners of works of art will permit them to be exhibited from time to time at the institution, for the benefit of the working classes, to whom the sight of good works of art of all kinds will be of the greatest service ; thinking, moreover, that food for the mind is as indispensable as food for the body— a fact too little heeded in our groat and populous seats of industry. BROKEN ENGLISH.—In glancing over some German papers the other day, we noticed this advertise. ment in Addisonian English, looking very queerly among the uniform German type :—" In a respect. German family two minutes outside the Holstenthor finds a young English or Frenchman, a fine furnished up rcom with or without board for a low price. Apply to the expedition of this paper." Now, if any " young English" did happen to want a " fine furnished up room," only " two minutes outside the Holstenthor," this must have been a great chance. Upon the whole, we think there must be more broken English in the world than any other broken language—more even than " broken China." Mr. Buffum once said he had seen in a Paris restaurant the dish ris de veau h la financiere, which is, of course, simply "Sweetbread a la financiere," literally translated for the behoof of English patrons into "The smile of the calf to the female capitalist." Compared with this last, the advertisement of the ":respect.lGerman family "is English of Gibbon and Goldsmith.—New York Times PRIMARY EDUCATION (IRELAND). —The Hoye, Commission on Primary Education met on Thursday, the 26th instant, at the offices of the Commission, 46, Upper Sackville-street, Dublin. There were present—the Earl of Powis, the Earl of Dunraven, the Bishop of Meath, Lord Clonbrock, Master Brooke, Rev. Dr. Wilson, Rev• B. M. Cowie, Mr. Dease, Mr. Gibson, Mr. Stokes, Pro - fessor Sullivan, and Mr.' Waldron. The secretaries' Messrs. Alay and Dnune, were in attendance. I ffl The Bisholi of Ely has written a letter lii reply to Itt Nichols, the churchwarden of St. Clement'p Church, Cam. bridge, in, reference to the correspondence which has boon going on as to the choral celebration "of the Blessed Sacra. ment at St. Clement's Church, for the repose of the soul of the late most reverend father in God, Charles Thomas, Archbishop of Canterbury," In the correspondence the Vicar of the church is designated "Father" 'Ward, and the Curate " Father" Wood, On November 18, the Bishop writes to Mr. Nichols as follows ;—" Palace Ely, November 18, 1868—Dear Sir, 1 have to acknowledge your second letter referring to the special service said to have boon held in St. Clement's Church on the 3d of November. Assuming the statement you have received to bo true, I cannot hesitate to express my entire disap proval of the Vicar's proceedings. The system of intro ducing doubtful doctrines into the services of the Church by means of unauthorized hymns, anthems, and introits is not to be justified on any principle of loyalty or honesty. Yon are, however, probably aware that a decosion of the Court of Arches has been given to the effect that prayers for the dead have not been forbidden by the Church of England, and you will therefore see that there may be a legal dialculty in dealing with the question which you have brought to illy notice. If, however, it is thought that the law of the Church has been transgressed by Mr. Ward, it js competent for you or any other parishioner to take proceedings against him in the Ecclesiastical Court of the Diocese, and I shall consider it my duty to facilitate such proceedings.— I am, dear Sir, your faithful servant, E. IL ELY," Wo under stand that the parishioners will cake the matter up, and that any subscriptions for that purpose will be thankfully received by Mr, Nichols, RAILWAY STATISTICA In compliance with an order of the House of Commons certain railway statistics have just been issued, from which it appears that the total number of railway accidents in the United Kingdom for the year ending December 31, 1867, was 106, causing a loss of 35 lives, and injuries to 757 people. Of these collisions, 05 happened to passenger trains, and 11 to goods and mineral trains. Up to the 31st December, it appears the number or passengers in England and Wales amounted to 259,598,982, the number of trains run was 5,224,846, the gross receipts from passenger trains amounted to £15,208,130, and from goods trains to £18,190,092. In Scotland the figures shew a gross receipt from passengers of £1,428,037, and from goods traffic of £2,581,883, In Ireland the receipts from passengers amounted to 947,387, and from goods traffic to £772,390. The authorised capital of the English railways amounts to a total of £536,056,151, of which £400,073,180 was, by shares, and £135,982,971 by loans. In Scotland the autho rised capital was £70,363,006, of which £52,915,650 was raised by shares and £17,447,356 by loans. In Ireland it was £36,434,251, of which £28,458,610 was by shares and £7,975,641 by loans. RAILWAY SIGNALS, An important series of experiments were made on Thursday on the North-Eastern Railway system, with a view of testing various methods of communication between passengers, guards, and drivers, which have been devised in view of the adoption of one general system in April next, when a provision of the kind becomes compulsory on railway companies. Four experimental trains were run, and the general managers and other officials of the Great Northern, South-Eastern, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, Midland, London and North-Western, North-Western, and other companies were present, and travelled in the trains. At eleven a.m. a London and North-Western train of twenty-five carriages, trucks, &c., was fitted at Malton with a cord apparatus attached to a whistle on the engine. This line was slender, and required to be cut or broken at the point of danger, the severance of the string liberating a spring lever which blew the whistle. This train ran from Malton to Scarborough. At Scarborough a South-Eastern train was entered, and a return journey was made to Malton. The train was a mixed one, and of the same length, and was fitted with Preece's electric couplings, as in use on the South-Eastern. At Malton a North- Eastern train was taken, fitted with Brown's semaphore invention, moved by a cord over the window, and signal ling the driver and guard, as well as marking the part of the train whence the alarm is given. This system has been in use on certain North-Eastern trains for ten months, and has done good service. At York a short London and North-Western train was waiting, fitted with a different electrical communication, which it was proposed to take to Harrogate. The results of the observations will lead to a conference with the different managers, and form the basis of a suggestion to the Board of Trade for a uniform system of signalling pas- senger trains. THE ABERGELE CORONER.—The Lanced con gratulates Dr. Evan Pierce on the high estimation in which he is evidently held at Denbigh, where he has now been elected mayor for the third year in succession. Re- membering the adverse criticism of which, as coroner in the melancholy catastrophe at Abergele, Dr. Pierce was the subject, it must be peculiarly gratifying to him to receive so complete a proof from his fellow townsmen of their satisfaction with his conduct of that most difficult and painful inquiry—a satisfaction that is now universally entertained. REPORTING EXTRAORDINARY.—Before a member has finished his speech in the House, the greater part of it is not only written out, but actually in type in more than one newspaper office. Without the system of "short turns " in reporting, this would, of course, be impossible. One peculiarity of the " turn " system is, that great pains need be taken to avoid mistakes arising from the " turns" of different men being accidentally transposed. To prevent this, each man, ere he begins his report, heads his first slip of transcript with his own name and that of the reporter who has preceded him, thus : " Jones follows Brown ;" and he adds similar words to the last slip, thus : " Smith follows Jones." These words are of course set up in type for the guidance of the printer ; and it sometimes happens that they find their way in con sequence into the newspaper itself. On one celebrated occasion, Mr. Disraeli, who was depicting in glowing words the dangers to society arising from some act of the Liberal Government, exclaimed, in the midst of his peroration : " Then, sir, what follows?" This question was unexpectedly' answered in one morning paper by the remarkable words, " Green follows Robson." • • There are many good stories told respecting the Gal lery. Many have doubtless heard of the old reporter who in the midst of a dull debate, suddenly called out for the Speaker to favour the House with a song. Another gentleman, engaged in the House of Lords, having heard one statesman of repute state that another had introduced a bill "with indecent haste," headed his report with the words " Charge of Indecency against Lord So-and-so ;" whilst a third, who had been told that profane language was on no account to be admitted into his reports, once destroyed the effect of one of O'Connell's finest pieces of oratory by printing the word " damned," when used in its most legitimate sense, in the form in which it usually appears in our police reports.—Chambers's Journal, The Norwich Liberals have decided on petitioning against the return of Sir-henry Stracey. Mr. Sergeant Dallantine has been retained - for the prosecution. The Archbishop designate of Canterbury has in vited tho Very Rev. Harvey Goodwin, D.D., Dean of Ely, to preach the Latin sermon at the opening of Convocation. Mr. George Lyall, formerly M.P. for Whitehaven, will be the now Governor of the Bank of England, in the room of Mr. Sheffield Neave, deceased. A Court for his formal election will be held on Wednesday next. A Dublin jury bas awarded £2OO damages to a man-plaintiff in the caso of breach of promise. This is a most unusual case, a man being generally solaced by a shilling. By an action in the Court of Common Pleas, the astounding fact is recorded that, at a banquet at the Nov Moat Market, King's-cross, 180 gentlemen, to use an Ame rican phrase, "got outsido of" 521 bottles of wine. The library of Dr. Longley, the late Archbishop of Canterbury, is to come under the auctioueer's hammer next mouth. He had an immense collection of valuable theolo gical works, as well as works of gJneral literature, the former of which are of little use to his family, as none of his sons took holy orders. 46 A Grateful Curate," writing to the Leicester Journal says that among the good traits of the late Bishop of Peterborough's character was the following :—lt was his custom ovary Christmas-day to send to those curates in his diocese who were burdened with large families and slender means a cheque for five or ten pounds, This was onclosod in a l e tter expressed in the most courteous And delicate terms, To the copra° of a few days the long line of houses opposite to the General Post-office iu Pt, Martin's-1e- Grand will be removed ? the whole of the property having been purchased for the Government, On the Bite now occupied 107 the heusea buildings will be ,precte4 fpr Post-ofilee purposes, the v at Inereroo of bilMillßSO hP,T* ing racked word . eitohded acurnmodatin nbsglutoly 4egesary,„ CCM t üithn HER MAJESTY.

The successful autumnal season at the Italian Opera closes on Monday next. Miss Neilson commences an engagement at the Prince of Wales's Theatre, Liverpool, on Monday. She opens in " Rosalind." Miss Amy Scdgwick has recovered from her in disposition ; she, however, has received another shock by the death of her mother.

Miss Kate Robertson, lessee of the Brecon Theatre, died on the 25th. Mr. Howard Paul has offered Offenbach £l,OOO to write him a sequel to the " Grand Duchesse." Mr. Paul Herring, the veteran pantomimist, died a few days ago. Mrs. Hermann Vezin's illness precludes the fur ther representation of the " Rightful Heir" at the Lyceum for the present. On Monday next Mr. Bandmann appears as Othello for the first time. Miss Hazlewood announces her benefit at Sadler's Wells on the 7th of December, after which evening the theatre will close until Boxing-night. Mr. Toole and Mr. and Mrs. Billington are act ing to crowded audiences at Liverpool. Mr. 11. J. Byron has written a new drama en titled, " Not Such a Fool as he Looks." It is to be produced at Manchester, the author sustaining the principal part. (Fram the Sunday Times.) It is currently reported that Mr. Bandmann will shortly marry Miss Milly Palmer. Mdlle. Carlotta Patti gave her first concert a fa days ago at Versailles. Miss Glyn is now giving a series of readings at the Westboarne Hall with great success.

The last piece said to be written by Rossini is a fantasia for a military band, entitled " La Corona d'ltalia :" it has been already played at Florence. CHILDREN'S REVIVALS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. DEAR SIR,—I notice in your paper of to-day a n article on the above subject, and as I was present at the services held in the Metropolitan Tabernacla I think it is only fair that you should hear the cor rect version of the matter. It would appear from your article that Dir. Spurgeon was the lecturer ; this was not the case , as the services were conducted by the Rev. Pason Hammond, of America, who is well known for his success in children's services. I certainly heard nothing of that threatening hell-fire style described by you, but I did hear loving entreaties from Mr. Hammond to the chil dren present, which did not appear to be without effect. As to the crown of thorns worn by the lecturer, that could only have existed in the mind of your informant, as that exhibition did not take place at any of the services. Mr. Hammond did, however, make use of a magnetic hammer and nails, showing how easily the little tacks were attracted while th e larger nails refused to move, thus illustrating th e , readiness of the children to attend the preaching of the word. I certainly see no harm in such an tration ; it appears to me to serve the lecturer: purpose better than an hour's dissertation, that purpose being to fix the attention of his juvenile hearers. As to the excitement, I saw none of the 1161 " 11 signs ; no one fainted, and the lecture was not 1 . 11 : terrupted (in my hearing) by any screams of chil dren or the tears of women.
