From England.

We have received by the Cambria letter from an
American in London, OF July 3D. 1t is very brief and
does not furnish many extracts for the press. The
writer had visited the Lake of Klarny, and soiourned
an hour at the far famed cottage of Kate Kearney and
took from the hands of her granddaughter glass
OF the rale crttur'the ''mounlain dew"-:niyed with
fresh goats milk He says he had seen no spot either in
Europe America romantic as this neglected part of
the Emerald ISLE He describes the attachment of Ire
land TO our country OF the deepest character He had
never heard unknd remark made relative to the Pres
ldent or the war with Mexico Indeed, public sympathy
is decidedly with US.
In the recent elections for Parliament the Protection
sts have been almost utterly annhated-at least as far
as the elections have off The towns and boroughs
in England have all voted, but the counties were to
choose their members during that week Out of 800
members heard from, the eetrade party has secured
1893, the Protectonsts 65 and the Peees 67 Sir Rob-
ert has had glorious triumph. He says, the spirit of
England is almost progressive in its character as that
Of the United States The voice of reason--the voice
of the multitudes ruling The grain crops everywhere
promise to be abundant and the potato yet free from
the infection which blghted t last year.

The Memphis District OF Tennessee.

the election of Harris (whg) in this district but it
counts without its host The "Memphis Monitor of
Friday evening settles this question:; and to make "as
surance doubly sure" have letter this even
ing, written Saturday the lh, from Mr. Stanton the
member elect" who states his election by majority of
25 votes The last letter from Tennessee says we have
lost the State by er-confdence. The wings were
perfectly quiet until within few days of the election,
acknowledging all the while that they would be beaten
We then looked and them the desperate
exerons; and we fooshy considered those exertions
as nothing than the certain indication of their COM
ing defeat" Ths is valuable lesson which ought not
to be thrown away upon us.)
The congressional vote in Tennessee, therefore,
stands at six democrats five wings The Philadelphia

slyy Wanted of commanding the vote of Tennessee
when the election of President should go the House of
