lesson, bringing Liverpool dates to April l.,
arrived here at midnight.
The elections absorbed public attention in
England. Nearly all the contests in the
boroughs were brought to close on the 20th
ult. and the result has proved disastrous to
the conservatives, Golden, Bright, Minor
Gibson. Mail. Layard, Fox, Cardwell, and
many other opponents of Lord Palmerston
administration have been defeated. In fact
the Government has achieved a complete tri-
umph.
Diplomatic relations between Sardinia and
Austria will. it is said be restored sooner
than expected. The Times says that the in
tervention of the British and French govern
ments for the arrangement of the existing
differences between the Austrian and Sa dim
ian governments, has been iavorably received.
SPA1N.-A dispatch from Madrid Of March
24th says; "The disposition to war is still
continuing The offers Of Mexico do not
satisfy the demands of Spain. The circum-
stances of Count Walewsh having addressed
q note to the Marquis de Turgot, wherein he
approves of the conduct Of Spain, is of no
small influence on the steadfast behavior OF
the Spanish Cabinet
CmINA.-Hong Kong dates are to Febru-

THREE DAYS LArER.
The Steamer Arabia arrived here yesterday
from Liverpool, bringing three days later news.
The triumph of Palmerston in the election is
quite as positive as it appeared by the previous
mail His gain may be set down in round
numbers at about fifty votes in the House o.
Commons This gain is found in the return
to the House of some twenty-five called
Liberals instead of Conservatives, and Of a.
many members who viii support the present
Premier through thick and thin, instead o.
independent men, who. while following him
on some things, are pretty sure to oppose hin
wherever, as in the Chinese question, the idea
if moral right and wrong is Involved. Such
is the result with the four hundred and seven
ty members already elected and we see nc
reason to suppose that the hundred and thirty
five yet to be returned will materially chang,
the aspect of the House. We regard LORD
Palmerston, therefore. as sure of such
steady majority as will render him, for a tim,
at least, virtually the dictator of England.
1t is said that something was contributed
to this result by report, set on foot by the
Ministry, that the Chinese Emperor had dis
approved of the conduct of Governor Yek
and had ordered him to make peace with the
English upon any practicable terms This
report was set aaoat two or three days before
the arrival of the Oriental mail Wher
that mail came to hand the report proved t,
be groundless but as an electioneering tricl
it had already answered its purpose. 1t now
appears that, instead Of making peace, tn,
Chinese will fight to the last-N Y. Tribune
