ELECTION DIBTI7IIBANCES AT LEAMINGTON.—
Party feeling here rune high, and several disturbances have
occurred swing to the warm dentonatiutioaa made in favour
of Lord Derr, the liberal candidate. Late on Wednesday
night the doors of the Angel Hotel (a tory brae) had to be
closed, ari • senor fracas seemed nnineet, and the few
persons who won the colours of Sir Charles Mordant and
Mr. Wise being attacked and bonneted. Bills bearing the
uasm of the conservative candidates had been stuck up on
the resided the hotel, they wen in turn covered by Lord
Dasean'a, and the letter were torn down. Fighting next
eared, all the wisdom of the hotel were broken, and
several people were injured. As our panel was bang des-
patched there was a fight near the scene of the first disturb-
ance. It is expected that an attack will be made on the
Regent Hotel, and • large body of special constables have
been sworn in in anticipation. Several stones were cinema
with only too much effect. One or two of the leaden were
captured, and a woman among the number. The polling
began this morning.
THE ELECTION FATALITY AT OLDHAM.—Oh Wed-
many the adjourned heroes% upon the bed, of Wm. Mellor,
aged 25, who wan kicked to death during the heat of the
Oldham election on Wednesday last, wee held before Mr.
Whitehead, deputy °error. There ware five persona in
custody charged with being concerned in the outrage—
namely, Edward Hague, Robinson Jewitt, Edward Wood,
John Felder, and John Chapman, jun. A large number
of witnessea were examined, including Mr. Bradbury,
surgeon, who oxide • post mortem examinatioa of the
body, who was of opinion that death had resulted from
the violence to which the deceased bed been subjected. It
was shown that Mellor was kicked violently by the prisoner
Hague whilst lying on the ground; and after be got up
he was followed and again struck and kicked, Hague still
taking • lesediug part a the assault. The only parties
identified as taking part in the assault were Hague and
Jewitt. The coroner, in summing up the evidence, told
the jury that if they same to the oirclusion that the
deceased had been killed by the violence be received from
any of the prisoners, they would next have to consider
whether there was anythieg done by the deceased to pro-
voke the assault made on him. If they found that there
win, their verdict moat be one of manslaughter, but if not
it meet be one of wilful murder. The jury returned a
verdict of wilful murder genet Hague and Jewitt.—

LIBERAL GAIN& —The total number of members
now returned is 564. The double return for Dumbarton-
shire would make the strength of the new House of Com-
mons 659, hut Mr. Carbone Hardy's election by two con-
stituencies leans that number by one, and in the atones
of casualties in the meantime the new home will meet
as 658 member'. There are yet 74 members to be re-
turned, of whom about me-third are being voted for
as we write (Thursday forenoon). Of the 584 Ord
elected. 342 are liberals and 242 ereervatiees. The
liberal majority is thus at present 100. To-day's elections
will tell whether this is to be very slightly or tolerably
largely decreased, but we gather from the polling rehires as
yet before us that the reduction will be very inconsiderable.
If Mr. Disraeli eau view these results with complacent
satisfaction, we OLD only say that so can we, and for once
there is • thorough unanimity of sentiment between the
member for Backs sad the liberals of the United Kingdom.

MEETING OF THE NEW PentlAMENT.—There is
much speculatkie in various quarters in reference to the
time which will probably be appointed fur the re-assembling
of the new parliament. There does not 'appear to be any
explicit regulations upon the matter, but circumstances
which have attended the last three dissolutions may enable
those who are curious or interested to come to scour-Imin
on the subject. On the 6th July, 1846, Lord John Russell
became prime minister, and retained that position until the
27th of February. 1852, when the Earl of Derby succeeded
to the office of First Lord of the Treasury. On that day
the noble earl made his first ministerial statement to
the House of Peers. On the lit of July in that year
the parliament was dissolved. The new parlia-
ment re-assembled as There:lay, November 4th,
under the auspice* of Lord Derby, who was prime
minister. Oe Friday. December 3, Mr. Disraeli, who was
Chancellor of the Exchequer, made his fiaancial statement
On that budget the ooseervative ministry was wrecked, and
the Faded Aberdeen became Prime Kintner on the 26th of
December in the same year. The next dissolution of par.
'lament was in 1857, during the administration of Viscount
Palmerston. A majority of 16 whist the government on
the question of China induced the noble lord to dissolve the
parliament. and the dissolution took place amordiegly on
the 25th of March. A new earbament was called to meet
on Thursday, April 30, and oe that day the Ant session of
the new parliameat of Queen Victoria assembled at West-
minster "for the dispatch of bushier." It lasted until
April, 1859, by which time Lord Derby had agaio become
prime minister. In that month Mr. Disraeli brought in his
Reform Bill, and it was defeated, the numbers being—For
the second reading, 291 ; alistiostit.33o. Duthie defestLord
Derby dissolved the parliament ow Saturday the 23rd of
April. On the 7th of Jane the new parliament mom-
hied. bat very soon after the commencement of its meow,
Lord Derby, who was still prime minister, was defeated on
• vote of want of confidence, moved by the Marquis of Her-
tingten. the present Linder-Secretary for War. Lord Pal-
merston then took the helm of goveroment, and carried
through the parliament elected under the atrophies of Lord
Derby until the sod of the resiol which ha. just expired.

tion, end the wilts for the electios of members of the new
