LOSMON, FRIDAY, JULY 30, 1852.

Nothing—beyond the decision of the electors a
Orkney—remains now to be learnt in reference to
the character of the new Parliament. The returns have
been Carefully collected, with the solitary exception
specified, from all parts of the United Kingdom, and
something "like a rational estimate may therefore be
at length formed 'as to the relative strength of parties
on the re-assembling of the Legislature. Several of
our contemporaries have calculated the result of Lord
DErtuf s appeal to the country, but all of them evince
the bias of their political prallections in the extra-
vagant obliquity of their deductions. According to
the - Morning Post 275 Liberals subtracted from
289 Derbyites, leave just fourteen as the
majority for the Ministerialists I According to
the Morning 'Jerald 269 Liberals subtracted from
leave no less than forty-two as the
311 DerbYit'- -.7
majority for the Blinisterialists I
Upon the opposite
hand, the estimates wade by the organs of the Liberal
party afford a Pr°
!meet proportionately encouraging1'
to the Opposition. According to the Daily News,
there are 285 Derbyites to be arrayed against 293
Liberals, leaving
a majority of eight to the anti-
Miriisterialists ! According to the Morning Chronicle,
there are merely 286 Derbyites, and fully 367 Libee
rals—a calculation yielding acttuallryoceeigedhityn-goneupaosnthea

somewhat more secure, and therefore a somewhat

more credible system, the giving

the Derbyites, 271 to the Liberals,
"doubtfuls," or as it designates them generally, the

Liberal Conservatives. Since these returns were re-
ceived others have arrived in rapid succession, so that
we are enabled to form some more comprehensive
idea as to the relative force of the numbers ranged
on the side of the Government—on the cross benches
—and on the benches of the Opposition.
Our calculations we believe will be found, on
scrutiny, to approximate more closely to the truth
than anythat could have been previously advanced—a
more accurate' conception of the matter being in fact
more attainable just now than was practicable under
previous circumstances. In another part of this
evening's impression of our journal will be found an
accurate list of the newly elected representatives. It
will be observed that the Members have been there
simply claisified in two columns as Liberals and
migisterialists. According to this rough calculation
there will be found exactly 653 returned, these 653
being thus divided—

It; would be iropossible, however, to rest altogether
sitibrled wi:h no cs!irnate ficaling thus loosely with
the douidul astabers—already referred to as the
Liberal Conservstives. Separating this section of the
new-House of Commons from the mass of thorough-
going Liberals and thoroughgong Derbyites, we
