FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT

LONDON, AUGUST 2, 1852
The elections are over, and the complexion of the
new Parliament may be pretty nearly ascertained
No absolutely correct party classification of the men,
bers yet be made, but the following appears to
be very generally concurred in. The division is
into the three great sections of Liberals, Peelite
Conservatives, or Freetraders, and Derbytes Pro
tectionists and it must be remembered that it was
as decided supporter of return to duty upon
imported grain that Lord DERBY took Office; that a
new Parliament has been summoned and elected
with view of ascertaning the feelings of the con
stituencics upon this question; and that upon the
decision, as shown by the result, Ministers have en-
gagged to shape their future course This result is
very nearly as follows. There have been elected
