LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 31.

As the onetime—with the exception of Orkney—
are now complete, and mweyeaterday gave a summary
of their remits in Scotland, let us now glance at their
consequences on theother sideof St. George's Channel.
The results of the Irish elections may be taken as
conclusive on the three questions which were on all
hands regarded as fairly put in issue by the
to the constituencies of that portion of the kin
These questions may be fairly stated as: Con deem
in Lord Deaue's administration; the soainteneatee
and extension of Tenant-right as it exists in Ulster=
and the ascendancy of Catholicism in the repre-
sentation. On each and all of these the electoral
voice of the country has been pronounced distinctly
and decisively. Ireland repudiates all sympathy
with Toryism, refuses to march at the bidding of the
Tenant-League, and has not thought fitjto make any
material change in the relative proportions of Pro-
testant and Catholic members who are to represent
her interests in parliament.
The Tories claim among their gains seven Irish
seats—Dublin, Belfast, Armagh, Monaghan, Wex-
ford, Wicklow, and Youghal. On the other hand
their lows are almost as numerous, Cork, Carlow,
Clare, Galway, Sligo, and Newry, leaving as a balance
in their 'favour exactly one. In the late House
of Commons Lord DERBY numbered forty-one
Irish supporters; in that which is likely to meet in
the month of October next he may reckon upon
forty•teu. In other words, two-fifths of the repre-
sentatives of Ireland are to be numbered among the
enemies of cheap food, free voting, and religious
equality; while three-fifths have been returned
pledged to the advocacy of these great principles.
Had England, with her many advantages of wealth
and enlightenment, done as much in the common
cause, how many years of anxiety and toil might
have been saved in the political life of the nation ?
As competitors with the Tories for popular favour,
it should be observed that the Whigs seem to have
fared as ill on the other side of the Channel as on
this. Every man who was known to have been in
any way connected with the late administration was
peremptorily cashiered. Neither Sir W. Souza-
'VILLE, Mr. REDINUTON, Mr. lfleu.ew, nor Mr.
Huoites ventured upon the hustings, but silently
withdrew in despair. It is a fact of no ordinary sig-
niticance. and one which is not likely to be soon
forgotten.
Paramount in social and practical importance to
the great bulk of the enfranchised classes in Ireland
stands what is popularly termed the Land Question ;
and no little curiosity was felt by many as to
the result of the electoral struggle in this respect.
The noise which had been made by a few individuals
some months ago as leaders of the Tenant-League,
and the circumstance that several counties, especially
in Ulster, were to be contested on the principles in-
volved in that exciting controversy, led certain
superficial observers to conclude that a serious
change in the representation might possibly be
accomplished through this influence, and that the
alliance between the Presbyterians of the North
and the Inman Catholics of the South, which had
been so recently inaugurated, would be found fertile
in political maul's.
To those who had noted the progress of events
more carefully, however, it had become manifest
long before the dissolution of Parliament, that the
immature bond of union between the two religious
sections was already broken—that the Praibytsrian
party believed themselves to have been abandoesti
by the Catholics for sake of sectarian and excludes
acme--and that the paralysis of mutual distrust bed
