The TiMei frankly admits beim disappointed
with the result et ihe elestiemi yesterday. The lib Mel
'majority will Mill emend 110. turd this will be thought
enough ; but had the mustier followed the eumeaple of
the tow which, greet sad math have, as ade-
clared with overwhelsatag hirer is favour of Yr. Mad-
ame's's Ina pelt", the majority would have hem semi
greeter. With, however, a balance of lib fa Ms to
the future ham of the Bowe of Ommeoms will be able
to enforce the legislative proposals of hie grower:meat
ith at least sefikdeat weight.
The BnwY, am the other head. comithas the readt et
the pogiege yesterday to be highly satisfactory ; sad the
bressihrif hears the yoke of the country prostouseisit it-
self with Wormed cinema is favour at conservative
principles.

Bit= reams ZLIOITONS.
The Deily Xswe mays that the kyless coercion which
great landlords, and manateeturere, and clergymen whose
real is without knowledge, have practised at the late elec-
tion, ham provoked the retaliatory lawlessness which ham
assumed the form of street fighting, mutilation, and mur-
ders in some frisk and in more English towns. The
lowest class have been taught, by the °sample of their bet-
ters, that the time of election is • time of suspended law,
in which the victory belongs to the host-filled puree,
or the longest roll of dependents ; and they seek to redress
the balance, or avenge defeat, by appealing to overpower-
ing numbers and the strongest arms. The passionate ex-
citi meat which the harangues of Mr. Murphy, and others
like him, have produced baa added fuel to the fins and
fanned the dame. The only effectual preventive ad tumult
will, the Lady News maintains, coedit in an entire reform
of our electioneering system, and in the suppression of
those acts of intimidation and corruption in which certain
members of the dames calling themselves higher have ►een
shamefully and ostentatiously bury.

ODWIRITATMI

ON INTRRIAL POLIOT.

The army of Yr. Disraeli, the Peat says, shows mere
instead of less confidence in the saute and versatile strate-
gist who leads them ; their orgeni•ation is admirable, and
the general election, U it has diminished somewhat their
numbers, has added to their ranks not a few adherents
whose names end position will make them count as court
cards in the game. With these adventure the conserva-
tive party in opposition ought still to have a great share
in the direction of imperial policy, and to be able to exer-
cise a sensible, and probably a beneficial, influence on the
administration.

TIFF OPENINO or Fl

The Triegreph expresses a hope that the Queen will
lend the lustre of her station and personal assistance to
the ceremony of opening parliament. Even as a stately
pageant of our political life, the opening of such a house
at such an epoch deserves to be rendered complete. The
mpty QUOIN must seem more unsatisfactory than ever,
when nothing but its occupancy is wanted to restore the
half-forgotten splendours of that which is still the most
august and ancient assemblage of lawgivers in the civi-
lised world. Technically, of course, the Queen is always
present ; but this time her people will hopd to hear her
own yoke, and not the Lord Chancellor's, and in this de-
sire both puha* unite.
