will from time to time present themselves cannot
be doubted, since the country is naturally rch and
its situation on the highway from Europe to Mica
ragua together with the fact which appears to be
admitted that an abundant supply of bituminous
coal is obtaineble in the Bay of Samana, can
scarcely fail from this period insure its rapid pro-

The Poll of au England.
From the London Herald, August 1871
friend has handed n valuable document
which he entities, The Poll of all England" 1t
consists Of careful collection Of the votes given at
the late election each side, in all the counties,
cities, and borougbs Of England and Wales. And
the general result appears to be,
Conservative votes es..................... l33, 23l
Whig-Radical votes. .................... .l2S, ,744
The first question that will naturally be asked,
And we must say that it appears to US to be con-
structed on an honest and fair principle. Take
few examples In Liverpool, the compiler does not
oppose Mr. Turner, who stood at the head Of the
poll, to MIR. Ewart, who stood at the bottom.
He compares Mr.. Mackenzie, the lowest Of the
two conservatives, with Mr. Cardwell, the
highest Of the two whig-radicals. In London,
no takes Mr. Masterman, on the one side. and
Lord John Russell on the other In Mddlesex he
bears in mind that the contest between Mr.. Os-
borne, on the one side, and the Marquis of Bland
ford on the other. He, therefore, passes Lord
Robert GrosveHor, who united some Of the votes Of
each party, 1t may be complained that Finsbury,
the Tower Hamlets, &c., occupy no place in the
calculation. They could not have any place, mas
much as they had no conservative candidates, and
the conservative electors did not poll. But the
weight thus lost to the whig radical scale, is far
more than c0unterbalanced by the forty or fifty
divisions Of counties which were silent, because no
whig or radical chose to brave poll. If the libe
raj journals" like to amend this table, by giving
the constituencies to each member returned, they
will find such table far more against them than
the present one. The Scotch and Irish votes have
not been given. The polls in Scotland were few,
and in most cases they were contests between wings
and radicals. AS to the Irish polls, it would, of
course, be an absurdity to introduce them into a
table intended to show the mind and choice Of the
people themselves, and not of their drivers.

The government, as we are informed, will avail
themselves of the interval up to the opening of the
