THE THREE-YEAR-OLD PARLIAMENT.

The Daily News, in an article under this hearing, notes
that the House of Peers has been deprived by death Of
fifty-eight of its members. Their names are :—The Duke
of Northumberland ; Marquises—Camden, Exeter, Lans-
downe, Salisbury, and Waterford ; Earls Bantry,
Bathurst, Beauchamp, Brownlow, Camperdown, Car-
digan, Chesterfield, Craven, Donoughmore, Gainsborough ;
Harrington, Kingston, Kinnoul, Lanesborough, Lime-
rick, Mayo, Moray, Pomfret, Rosebery, posse, Rosalyn,
and Shrewsbury ; Viscounts Clifden and Gort ;
the Bishops of Hereford, Lichfield, and Rochester; Lords—
Aveland, Bayning, Brougham, Byron, Calthorpe,
Carington, Clinton, Colchester, Cranworth, Dunfermline,
Feversham, Fitzhardinge, Gray of Gray, Glenelg, Kings-
down, Llanover, Monteagle, Northbrook, Plunket, Pol.
wadi], Ponsonby, Rivers, Vernon, Wensleydale, and
Wrottesley. In this long list the two oldest peers
were the Duke of Northumberland and Lord Brougham,
both of whom had completed their 89th year ; the
two youngest were the Earl Brownlow, who died at
24, and the Earl of Harrington, whose death was
announced at the early ago of 21. These, however, were
exceptions to the long life which is usually enjoyed in the
peerage, for the average age of the 58 deceased lords is 67
years. The earldom of Cardigan has become merged
with the inarquisate of Ailesbury, and the following nine
peerages are extinct :—The earldom of Pomfret, and
the baronies of Bayning, Cranworth, Dunfermline,
Glenelg, Kingsdown, Llanover, Ponsonby, and Wensley-
dale. These have been far more than counterbalanced
by the creations, which in so short a time have not
been equalled since the days of Earl Grey and
Lord Melbourne. Twenty-five new peerages have
been added to the list, an average of eight every year.
Ten were made by Earl Russell, viz. :—Earls Dartrey
and Kimberley, Viscount Halifax, Lords Barrogill, Cler-
mont, Kenry, Meredyth, Monek, Northbrook, and
Romilly. Twelve owed their elevations to Lord Derby:—
Lords Brancepeth, Cairns, Colonsay, Fitzwalter, Hartle-
mere, Hylton, Kesteven, Lytton, O'Neill, Ormatbwaite,
Penrhyn, and Strathnairn. Three patents have been
issued by Mr. Disraeli :—The earldom of Feversham, the
Viscountcy of Bridport, and the Barony of Napier.
The mortality in the House of Commons has been con-
siderably less than that in the Lords. Only 22 membeis
have died, viz. :—Mr. G. R. harry, Mr. Crossland, Mr.
Dillon, Hon. J. C. Dundas, Lord Dunkellin, Sir M. Far-
quhar, Mr. Foot, Mr. F. D. Goldsmid, Sir B. Guinness,
Mr. Ilanbury, Right Hon. H. Herbert, Mr. E. James,
Colonel Lowther, Mr. Mackie, Mr. C. W. Packe, Lord
Palmerston, Mr. Lort Phillips, Mr. Scholefield, Mr. Steel,
Mr. Treherne, Colonel Lloyd Watkins, and Mr. Wick-
ham. The oldest member was Mr. Steel, 82; the youngest
was Mr. Barry, 42. The average age of the deceased
M.P.'s is 58. Changes from a variety of other causes
have been very frequent. For instance, 23 mem-
bers have become peers, either by succession or by
creation, 19 have been unseated on petition, 12 have re-
signed their seats, and 12 have accepted jadgeships. Thus
SS new members have been returned, while 50 others have
been re-elected on their appointment to office. The
numerous contests have had very little effect upon the
balance of parties. The gains, however, have been on the
side of the Liberals, and victories have been won in many
constituencies of size and importance. The Conservative
gains, fewer in number and less significant, were almost
uniformly made in small boroughs.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

BEDFORD.—The Conservatives have selected Mr. E. L.
O'Malley (son of the eminent Queen's Counsel) to join

WESTMINSTER.

POLICE 1117TELL1GENCE.-THIS-D4Y.

DISTURBING HOSPITAL PATIENTS.—J. Flaherty,
in Irish labourer, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt
with being drunk and disorderly at the Middlesex
Hospital.

Mr. Henry Custard, superintendent and secre-
tary of the Middlesex Hospital, said that, hearing a
noise in the cmirtyard of the hospital, he wait out
end found the prisoner, who was drunk, making a
great disturbance, much to the annoyance of the
patients, and threatening and trying to strike the
porter. The sister of the hall accident ward came
out and complained that the prisoner was disturb-
ing the patients, and as he refused to go away he
;ave him in charge.
The prisoner said that Messrs. Holland and
Hannen, the contractors, had some work going ou
at the hospital, and he went to see Mr. Hall, the
foreman.

Mr. Tyrwhitt told the prisoner that it was shown
that he was drunk.

The prisoner said lie was not drunk.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner had no right to
go to the hospital and make a disturbance and
annoy the poor people who required rest, and he
would have to pay a fine of 108. or seven days.
STEALING PROVENDER.—Charles Wedge, horse-
keeper in the employ of Messrs. Ledstone and
Scarlett, butchers in New Bond-street, and Fre-
derick Simpkins and Robert Brown, the former a
carman and the latter a labourer, were charged
before Mr.. Tyrwhitt with stealing a quantity of
horse provender, the property of Messrs. Ledstone
and Scarlett.

It appeared from the evidence that Mr. Scarlett,
having noticed the bad condition of one of his
horses for some time past, and suspecting all was
not right, communicated with the police, and Henry
Dawson, an energetic officer of the C
watched the prisoners, and succeeded in detecting
them in stealing provender from the prosecutors,
which ought to have been applied to their horses.

Mr. Sayer, from the office of Messrs. E. Lewis
and Co., Great Marlborough-street, who appeared
for the prisoners, declined to address the magistrate
on the prisoners' behalf, and Mr. Tyrwhitt com-
mitted them for trial.

DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE IN THE STREET.—Wm.
Maguire, a powerful man, was charged with the
following disgraceful outrage ;
John Petit, waiter at the Royal Standard Music
Hall, Vauxhall-bridge-road, said At half-past
four o'clock yesterday afternoon I was walking
along the Horseferry-road, Westminster, when the
prisoner came up and hit me and knocked me down.
Mr. Arnold—You w, re walking along the Horse-
ferry-road when this man came up and hit you and
knocked you down. You must have seen him be-
fore cr something I should think.

Complainant—lndeed, I had not. Ile was quite
a stranger to me. I had never seen him before,
nor spoken to him. I gave him no provocation of
any description. After I got up from the first blow,
he forced me down again, and then I defended my-
self.
Mr. Arnold—Was he sober ?
Complainant—lle was not, but he kept pitching
into me after I persuaded him to go away.
Williiam Thomas, messenger at the Chartered
Gas Works—Defendant followed one of the men,
and tried to pick a quarrel with him. He came
into the works, and the watchman shut the
gates ; then the defendant turned round and struck
the complainant, who happened to be passing.
Defendant, i❑ reply to the charge, said I—have
just recovered from a bed of sickness ; I am sure I
don't know what I was doing yesterday afternoon,
but I feel that I must have been knocked about
very much.

Mr. Arnold—You seem to have knocked this man
about very much tco.
Defendant—l am very sorry, but I don't remem-
ber it.
