LATE NEWS FROM EUROPE.
New YoRK, Thursday, July 80.
The steamship GREAT WEsrERN came up to
our wharf little past | o'clock to-day She
left on the l4th, and has of course been Is days
coming over. Her dates are eleven days later

The political intelligence is decisive Of the
fate OF the British Ministry. The Tories are
every where triumphant. The Wings concede
majority OF 80 in the House, the Tories claim
near lo0-and the victorious party is generally
nearer right than the other The Tory tally is
as follows
Conservatives, 345
Liberals, 259
Tory majority, sc
Daniel o. ConneH and his colleague Hutton
haze been defeated of Their return from Dub
lin by about $50 majority The poll is as fol-
lows:
West, (Cons.) 1850
Grogan, (do) 1888
O'Connell, (Rad.) 1902
Hutton, (Whig) 1862
This is terrible blow TO the Repeal cause in
Ireland. Belfast has also returned two Tories
over Lord Belfast and colleague.
But the hardest blow to the Ministry was
dealt by the great constituency of the West
Riding of Yorkshire, where Lord Morpeth is
defeated, as follows;
Lord Morpeth, (W,) l2,0so
Lord Milton. (do.) l2,o3l
Mr.. Wortley, 49, 65
Mr.. Denison, 127S0
Thus the Secretary is at the foot of the poll,
where he has always been at the head !; and
Mr. Wortey, the twice defeated Conservative,
stands at the head. So it is all over.
