ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA.


NV YoRK, July rs, 1911.
The steamship CALEDONIA, Captain McKelver ar
rived at Boston at o'clock yesterday in thirteen days
from Liverpool, including detention at Halifax. The
news by her is fifteen days later, and Of decided
Importance
The British Parliament was prorogued by the
Queen on the 22d ult, and an immediate dissolution
and new election ordered That election pro-
ceeding amid intense excitement when the Caledonia
sailed and the general aspect OF the returns was de-
cidedly adverse to the Ministry, who will maniiesy
be beaten, and can no longer avoid resgning a full
House Of Commons consists OF GAS members Of which
345 chosen by England proper OF these 3O3
and from Scotland have been heard from, and the
result is
Liberals Of all shades 1853
Conservatives ditto l45
Ministerial majority IA Tory gain g. equal to Is diff
ference. 1t is expressly admitted by the Ministerial
| organ (Glohe) that Wing majority sufficient to
carry repeal ofthe Corn Laws now he hoped for.
Loud complaints of bribery are made by the discom-
fitted
The City of London has returned two members Of
each party, by close vote, as follows
Aid Wood, wing 6,3l5 Mr. Masterman, tory 1889
Lold J. Russell, 6,22l Lyal do G,29o
| Atwood, 62i2; Pattson, GOO; Crawford, 6I065,
PRIME, COLI
So tory heads the poll and Lord John squeezes in
by nine notes.-the lowest of those elected. Here is
disastrous wing loss Of two members.
But Lord Palmers,on has Jared much worse in at
tempting to carry Liverpool, There the poll closed
Lord Landon, Tory, 500
/ Mr.. Crosswel, do. 5192
! Mr.. Walnesley, W., 46i7
Pord Palmerston, 443l
Lord P at the foot of the poll, and beaten 1861
votes by the lowest Tory Was ever a high Cabinet
Minister tenibly demolished 2 He has since been
i returned for Tiverton
The other Parliamentary members of the Cabinet
have all been returned after some fashion.
Terrible riots in connection with the polling took
place at Liverpool, Blackburn, Carlisle, and many
other places. At Liverpool the Irish residents
on the Wing side, and the shrcarpeners on
the Conservative were the principal combatants,
to the number Of many thousands The Irish
appear to have been the aggressors. The Globe
Tavern, and another kept by Mr. Casement--boh
Conservative rallyiDg ponts-were furously attacked
and shattered; daughter of Mr.. Casemcn, was badly
hur, by stone, when her father fired upon the mob
and badly wounded four persons one of them danger
|
prison but he cannot be harmed, even though death
ensue, At. Carlisle two persors killed Ina
dozen instances it became necessary call out the
military; and at Blackburn to charge the mob with
fixed bayonets. Many persons have died of excite
meni, exertion, and passion.
The commercial news is satisfactory in one respect
there have been heavy sales of cotton, the market is
active and there is clear advance Of ls ct per h.
or nearly 81 per bale American generally. The
yarn market had improved at Manchester, and this
advance bids fair he maintained.
In Grain there ID little change. The prospect Of
the growing crop had been improved by rains,
and is considered at least fair.
Money is in demand, owing to the enormous loans
sought by France Austria &C.. to the expenses
of their ornaments last year. The current rate
is fully FIVE per The French loan has been cut
down from $3.50 100000 francs to half that sum, or
about S42,O0O0O0
There is nothing of decided intcres, from Continen-
tai Europe. A new Royalist Ministry has been or
gnnized in Portugal. The Jacobns of France
pining for another General War and some of the Mi
nsiry incline 10 them, but Louis Philip is adverse
There is nothing of consequence from Agiers.
The Turkish Empire is dssolving. The insurgents
in Gambia maintain their ground, and new combina-
tons adverse the dominion Of the Porte are form
ing in all the European Provinces The throne of
Ohio toters to its fall unless upheld by the West
ern Powers
From China there is overland Mail, but ii is
hard to say what the intelligence amounts to- The Eng
lish sending forward more troops both from home
and India but there is droll Proclamation from
Commissioner Yang, setting forth that the English
desire only recommencement of the Trade, where
fore il is decreed that the Trade is opened at Wham-
poa A corresponding rumor asserts that the Eng
fish ships have dropped down the River mile and a,
half from Canton. Can this mean any thing
have no room for domestic There is sill
" fabrication in a Sunday paper importing that
band of Canadians were Friday night attempting
to berate Mcleod at Lockport There is no posi-
blity of its truth.
Yours, HAROLD.
