The English Elections.
In the Parliamentary elections held yes
terday, the Conservatives gained one seat
in Belfast, Dover, and Grayesend and
Northampton. The Liberals gained the
seat for Dumfrieshire and one for COven-
try. Home rulers were elected from Drog-
heda and Wexford. In the last Parliament
those two places were repry sented by Lib
erals. The Marquis Of LOrne is returned
from Argyleshire. The first report that all
the Liberal candidates were elected in
Glasgow was incorrect. Later returns
show the Conservatives gained one Of the
seats. So far, 40 members of Parliament
have been elected. OF this number 22T
are Conservatives and 193 Liberals and
home rulers. The Conservatives have
been chosen for 81 seats occupied by the
Liberals in the last Parliament, and the

Views of the Press.
The Times this morning says: 1T is now
evident that the country has returned an
adverse answer to GladstOne's appeal. The
elections in Ireland may show unlocked
for results, but nothing is likely to restore
the losses of the Liberals in Great Britain.
Disraeli is bound to accept, if the Govern
ment, following his example in 1865, re-
signs without awaiting the reaSsembling of
Parliament"
The Post in an editorial Of a similar
strain SAYS: s'The blundeTs Of the Govern
ment are far more than was expected. Its
exercise of power has been rs absolute As in
discreet. 1t is immateTial whether the ad
verse results of the elections are due to the
dissatisfaction of the country at the past;
they are certainly regarding the policy of
the Government in the future.

with the decision, as he is bound TO do, and
will follow constitutional precedents set by
Peel, Melbourne, and others, under similar
| circumstances. They met Parliament with
the royal speech and either resigned
thereupOn or submitted to formal
defeat. Not only is the field lost,
but it Is lost most decisively. Defeat is to
be attributed to Mr.. Bruce's unpopular

party for side issues, such as the Education
| act, female suffrage, the perIniSsive bill,
etc, the deeds, and not unnatural displaa-
| sure at the violent language against society
used by supporters Of workingmen's candi-
dates, and lastly, want of tact and SYM
