GREAT BEITAIN.-The topic absorbing
all others in interest is that of the elections
for the new Parliament. The present which
is the fourth Parliament of Queen Victoria
and the sixth of the Reformed laments,
was elected in July. 1852. under the auspic-
rs of the Earl OF Derby. then at the head of
the Tory administration. Ii would not, &C
rorlng to the S-pt-nnial Act. die in natnr-
al death until the goth of August. 1859. (the
,iayat which the writs for the new Parliament
were made returnable.) but since the year
1926 no Parliament, according to Mr.. bod,
has approached its extreme limit The pres
ent Parliament. if dissolved without anv ma
terial delay. will have failed to attain the
age of five years BY some four or five months.
The Russell Parliament. elected in July and
August, 1857, lasted years months and
twelve days; and the Parliament which placed
the late Sir Robert Peel in office in the
year 1871 lasted as long as five years and
eleven months. or very near six years
This was the longest OF the Reformed Par
liaments. the shortest having been the first
elected at the end of the year 1892. the age
of which was one year and eleven months
only. 1t will be found that the average du-
ration of the six Reformed ParIiamen,s elect
ed from 1892 to 1852 has been, as nearly ~
possible, four years.
FRANCE.-The French Legislature has
passed the bill granting to Marshal Pelis,ier

so the proposed measure Of preventing all
BOurse operations by cOulissiers or out door

sion on these points several members of the
Coucil gave proof of much talent, and, still
more strange, Of some independence.
On the 9th at noon a great crowd was COL
lected in front Of the entrance to the Tuil-

quence Of the unexpected appearance of a

peror would order the plans to be revised.

THE SUGAR SPECULATION IN CUBA.-
A late circu1ar from Havana states that the
sugar spectators are united in one interest,
controlling the crop of Cuba, to prevent de-
cline in price, and they will regulate their
shipments in conformity. They will it is
stated, be able to sustain themselves and their
position for several months, probably; they
will die hard, and towards the end of the
present delivery those that are in possession
Of what may remain will have 10 come down,
and that with destructive fall, unless pre-
vented by timely prudence.
1t appears from the classification ofpa-
tents granted last year, that New England
with about one ninth of the population of the
country, has one third of the patents.
