THE NEW PARLIAMENT.

The whole of last week was fraught with the
greatest excitement throughout the country, charac-
terised as it was by the Parliamentary contests in all
the boroughs. Up to Saturday morning there had
been returned (including Mr. Shirley for the Don-
caster division of the Wes 's Riding, and Sir Richard
Webster for the Isle of Wight, whose elections were
announced that morning), 129 Liberals, 127 Con-
servatives, two Independent Liberals, and 18 National-
ists, and the total number of votes recorded in the
contested elections had been: For the Liberals,
755 308; for the Conservatives, 729,541; and for the
Na'ionalists 14,839. In England, the Conservatives
had polled 667,399, the Liberals 639,199, and
the Nationalists 3489; in Scotland. the Liberals
107,274, the Conservatives 497,747; in Wales, the
Liberals 3650, and the Conservatives 2520; in Ireland,
the Conservatives 20,835, Nationalists 11,350,
Liberals 3695. There were eight unopposed returns
on Friday, of which seven were those of Nationalists,
the eighth being an Irish Conservative, Lord Arthur
Hill, for West Down. In Friday's elections, three
single member boroughs—Wednesbury, Shresysbury,
and Scarborough, each returned a Conservative in the
place of a Liberal, while Woolwich—a new borough—
also returned a Conservative. All the Scotch con-
stituencies in which elections took place on Friday,
including Glasgow with its increased representation
of seven members, returned Liberals, and Nottingham
also returned Liberals for all its three seats. In
London constituencies, Battersea and Clapham each
returned a Liberal, while bsth divisions of Kensington
returned Conservatives. A Liberal was displaced by
a Conservative in the Isle ot Wight, and three new
English county divisions returned Conservatives, and
two returned Liberals.
