members Is kent out; and the representative of the
Grcys, Lord Howick is ANONYMOUSLY defeated.
The proceedings ~ the declaration Of the polls for
West Yorkshire and Northumberland have been
as interesting as any IN the course OF the election
Apart they are curious taken together, uoubly So
Gro chiefly Lord Howick WAS ike himSelfto tie last
It's speech consisted of icrcmiid over the snort
. notice. of Ar. Baker CrcsswCll's having stolen a
mach upon him, aud Over the corruption and tyran-
ny OF the county, and the roachery of Nosthumber-
lands Duke, who FIRST let him understand that he
meant to tolerate him still, aud then patronized Mr.
CrCSSwcIl Instesd. With undoubted intelligence
much right feeling, and more honesty OF intent than
consistency of purpose, Lord Howick sometimes has
done and said things that have procured him TO bc

be observed IN passing, perhaps his SucceSSiu, anita
Sonlst, Mr.. "Jf;,ey, has scarcely received his for
the fulness Of generous feeling which distinguished
| his bearing. Adverse parties have Wed with each
olEer in rendering honor the manner in which the
rejected member tor West Yorkshire turned deient
into victory over circumstance and made his last
act OF surrender one Of the most imposing of his ca.
rcer. Thus two Of the most remarkable young no.
U.es who have taken part in public affairs retire
for while. Both will be missed. Lord MOrpeth's
growing power OF generalization, the habit OF mas
terlng his subjects, his force Of language and happy
knack Of illustrating, will I've wanting 20 the friends
who have counted upon his support Lord Howick

and, rare quality IN the irresponsible legislator per-

men who gave substance and soul TO the party con
tests Of the day.
With these, more notable victories, the Tories
have achieved many more. Their majority may be
counted, when all Is done, certainly not less than
20. Ii the Irish returns somewhat restore the bal.
ancc, Orange energy, lass.tude among the Liberals
arising from WEAKNESS of the stock agi,atons and
disgust at the Irish Chancery Job, have probably

IN Dublin Itself, will effect little for the Wings The

The contest of the election in Ireland is not so
called by any fgurc-It is a real struggle, in many
! places almost amounting TO civil war. Force and
s,ratuSgm are often the means for securing the re-
turns. The fight for the capital was characteristic
OF the country: the popular party charged with
/ using open and iaw!ess violence; the Tory party
! backed by the expiring Corporation with resOrting
! u Chlcanery. The suJller engine prevailed: The
