THE NEW PARLIAMENT.

The following brief analysis exhibits the strange va-
riety of character contained in the newly-eluted Parlia-
ment of the United Kingdom. It is as great a curiosity
in its kind as Noah's Ark, or the Tower of Babel. We
find in it—
MEN OF DIFFERENT COLOURS, viz. :-1 Green,l Grey,
1 Scarlett, 2 Browne, 1 White, and 1 Sombre.
BIRDS AND BEASTS, as will be presently seen, and,
TAYLORS and BODIUNS Sze. &c.

The disposition of the electors seems to have been as
strangely various.: for example, those of Barnstaple,
Sligo, New Ross, and North Salop, were most sangui-
nary. all of them crying out successfully for Gore, while
those of Shoreham were for Goring. On the other
hand, the voice of the Tories for Middlesex and Breck-
nockshire, and of the Liberals of London, Southwark,
Halifax, and Kendal, is peaceably echoed through the
Woods. The wishes of the Dorsetshire people
repose quietly on Banhes; those of the Fermanagh
Burghers float upon a Brook; those of the Wick Burgh-
ers' are reflected in a Loch ; and the inhabitants of Eve-
sham and North Salop look pleasantly towards the Hills.
The Elgin Burghers are delighted to have got in their
Ifay this season, as they had lost it for several years.
The electors of Frome are very appropriately under the
guidance of a Sheppard.

The good citizens of Waterford trust some to a Reade,
whilst others look confidently to Christmas for the
accOmplishrneut of their wishes.

The people of West Norfolk, in the true spirit of Con-
servatism, have put their interests in a Bagge—those
of Stamford trust them to their Clerk—those of Bridge-
water to their Forman—those of Cirencester to their
Master.

The votes of Newark and North Leicester were caught
by winning Manners.
The electors of Radnor have their Price.
Hertfordshire employs a Ryder, Bury a Walker, and
West Surrey a Trotter. The Member for Cashel re-
mains Stock still.

North and West Worcester return reall y Knights of the
shire.

Winchester looks vigilantly to the East, Dublin to the,
West, and South Durham watches the Vane. • -
Cambridge refers its matters to LAW.
Corrickfergus confides in its KIRK.
The Tories of South Northumberland were summoned
by a Bell, and have agreed to concentrate their voice in
its clapper.
York sends forth its new Member, Mr. Yorke, with
the premonitory counsel, " Remember, I am York t 6."
North Devon, Bath, and Newcastle, are respectively
represented by a Buck, a Roebuck, and a Hinde.
A Bear (Bruen) dances in front of Carlow, a Hogg
bristles up for .Beverley, and a Fox has stolen into the
Tower Hamlets.

Tewkesbury, Galway, and Newport have chosen Mar-
tins to twitter in their behalf: The electors of Dudley
have sent up Hawkes to pounce upon their opponents.
Peterborough has chosen from its swamps a long-necked
Heron, and the amphibious folks of Dartmouth a Seale.
Thq sportsmen of South Leicestershire let loose again
their Tory Packe in the purlieus of St. Stephen.
Tipperary has shut up her interest in a Cave, and the
temperance men of Kilkenny have not yet discharged
their Butler.

Foreign influence would seem to have-intrigued itself
into some parts of the empire ; else, why should a
Fleming sit for Hants—why should Roscommon throw
herself under French protection, or Hastings under that
of licll9nd?

The men of Carnarvonshire have raised their Pennant,
Westminster has chose a Leader, and Wexford, though
weak in numbers, displays Power.
Scarborough has guarded itself with a Trench.
Gateshead takes shelter beneath a Hutt, Guildford
behind a Wall.

Linlithgowshire, Maidstone, and Weymouth, each
trusts to a Hope.

North Wilt; (of Green-cheese celebrity), and Maldon
have been guided in their choice by the dimensions of
their Representatives, quality being of minor considera-
tion, so they have selected one Long, the other Round.
Christchurch is proud of having sent the only flower
to Parliament—a blushing Rose.
The imprudent constituents of Wigan, Bradford, and
Worcester must have a care to the disposition of their
Members. The first is Crosse, the. second Hardy; and
the third TVille.- None of theSe qualities are suitable to
the steady purpose of legislation.
The Speaker, whether conservative or Liberal, who
may have- to control so heterogenous a mass as that of
which the above is a 44nnile, will need every -partiOq of
wit that lies unll7l2ifig , (.1- C. P.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. • .

SIR—As the words I used at the Blacknall Railway-
Meeting seem to be viewed, erroneously, I desire it to.lie
expressly understood, that I did not mean to convey
an impression or to insinuate that money was expended
among Members of Parliament, .for know of no such
circumstance; but that I had no doubt a great deal of
money was laid out for expenses incurred in soliciting.
Members to support or oppose the passing of 16ilway
Bills, as was suggested by the question proposed•to me
at the rneeting.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,

TORY MISSTATEMENTS.
TO .TILE EDITOR OF THE _.SUN.

San—Will you allow me to draw your attention -.to. a
gross mis-statement (to use a mild 'term) put forth in"
Adhektcwd's Magcizine for July, and also in the Cohnial
Magazine; in both of which a table of the comparative
rate of daily wages in England and other countries (care:
fully excludinc, America) is given, and the wages of an
English agricultural labourer stated •t 6 be' Is: 10d., or
lls. a week. The wages in this county (Devonshire) are
95., and there has been no variation during the last five
years, though corn .has varied in price from 40s. to B.os.
(so much for cheap corn making low -wages). In some
other counties, it is well known, the wages are only Bs.,
and even less. Perhaps the constructors of the table in
question will. mention the counties in which wages are
13s. and 14s. a week, which they must be, to make the
average ils. The statement that the millions in this
country, who are dependent on agriculture, use on an
average 51. worth of manufactured goods each-arinnally,
is too absurd to impose on the most credulous. . - •
I am, Sir, yours, &c.,
A SUBSCRIBER. •

A letter of the 30th ult., from Bucharest, in the
Moniteur- Parisien, gives the following particulars of the
late disturbances at Braila :--:-"Parties of Bulgarians and
Servians, united in arms under a leader named Datitsch,
declared to the authorities of Wallachia their determina-
tion to cross the Danube and give succour to their fel-
low-countrymen, who had been ill-treated by the Turizs.
Notwithstanding the opposition of the magistrates, these
men raised a standard, issued proclamations' and began
to conduct themselves in a manner which threw the
whole of the inhabitants into a state of terror. The
troops of the garrison not being sufficiently strong to re-
press the insurrection, the people of the country Were
called in, and they came armed with all kinds of rude
weapons. The magistrates, thus finding themselves am-
ply reinforced, informed the insurgents that they were
at liberty to go over the river in a Greek vessel pointed
out to them. They accordingly marched down to the
shore, and thus lost their vantage-ground. They had
necessarily to pass through the quarantine building, and.
when they were once within it the gates were closed be-
hind them. On reaching the vessel they were unable to
make use of it, as her sails and tackle were all taken out,
and in fact they were caught in a trap. The troops and
their irregular auxiliaries fell upon the deluded party,
and they were soon entirely subdued, with the loss of
about twenty killed and wounded."

HAMBURG, AUGUST 20.—The corn is all
got in in Southern Germany. The Bavarian farm-rs
boast how rich they have become. Only in the Pala_
final the harvest is not remarkable for abuudauce or
good quality.
