The Parliamentary elections are nearly
over and the result will be known in a few days.

bers. The ministry will not have majority OF more
than two OF three at most for this section OF the

election are IN many respects instructive auo I'M

of the last tory Government are excluded from the
new House: Mr.. Henry Sherwood, who was SonCl-
tor.General, Mr. Cayey,who was Inspector Generai,
and Mr.. J. H. Cameron, who was Attorney Gen
