The Changes in the Present Parliament.

The existing Parliament was begun and holden
on the 31st of May, 1859, and has therefore been in
existence five years and seven months. During
this brief period a change has passed over the per•
sonnel of nearly one-fourth of the House of Com-
mons, for no less than 154 of its members have been
removed by death, resignation, promotion, and other
causes. The prospect of a general election at no
distant period may render of soma interest the an-
nexed history of the losses sustained by the present
Parliament from the time of its assembling to the
close of 1864 :
