GEORGE WOOD, Secretary.

The statistics' which nave been published in several
newspapers touching the probable results of the
general election ought to be received with the
utmost caution. No one can doubt that Mr. Glad.
stone will have a majority, but the expectations of
many journalists that he will have over 400 sup-
porters must be taken CUM gr ano sails. For in-
stance, two respectable Irish journals, who represent
both parties, have fallen into a most absurd error.
They state that 299 seats are uncontested.by Con-
servatives, and in the next sentence they assure
their readers that 236 Liberals are sure of election,
Who will fill the remaining sixty-three seats is not
stated. But the fact is, that there are but 191 seats
uncontested by the Conservatives • per contra, there
are 106 seats uncontested by the f.iberals; therefore
the Liberals have a majority of 85 before even the
polling commences. The hopes of the Conservatives
will doubtless be in the divided state of the Liberal
party; as witness the metropolitan elections. In 1865
not a single Conservative was returned in the metro-
politan boroughs. Now, through the perverse-
ness of several ambitious nobodies, the
Liberals are in danger of losing one
seat. in Lambeth, Finsbury, the Tower Hamlets,
Hackney, and Marylebone. ;Thus there are five seats,
which the Liberals have always counted upon as safe,
jeopardised by such men as Littler, Homer, and a
host of others, whose names have never been heard
of outside the borough; Instead of the Liberal
party adopting the motto of their City friends: to
16 Unite and Conquer," they are playing into the
hands of their opponents, who have hoisted the
maxim " Divide and Conquer."
