BradIauSh on British Politics.
NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Charles Brad
laugh has written a letter concerning the
prospects of the Radicals inthe coming gen
eral election in England. He says it is
probable there will be more Conservatives
elected and fewer Wings, but the COnServa-
tives will have to promise some very radi-
cal measures in order to get returned. The
next Parliament will show a sturdy Rad
lcal band. For the first time in English
history the working miners will probably
be represented in the House of Commons.
They have at least three efficient candi-
dates, Mcdonald, Burt and Crawford.
There is now a Radical party growing, and
l believe this party which has mustered a
gallant little band, even in the Parliament
just slaughtered, will be strengthened so
materially in the Parliament about to be
elected, that it will not only be strong
enough to prevent the Conservatives from
retaining office for any long term, even
suppOsing they should win it, but will be
able so materially to modify the Liberal
programme that Whigism of the GranI lille
type might as well perform hari-kari.

LONDON, Jan. 27.-SpeculatiOn cOntin-
ues in regard to the reasons which caused
the government to decide upon dissolu-
tiOE of Parliament. Some declare it was
brought about by discussions in the Cabi-
net others that Gladstone has been sum
mmed before the Court of the Queens
Bench for not standing for reelection
after accepting office in March last. The
utmost interest is manifested over the cleo
items, and much activity is displayed in
preparation. 1t is believed the general
election viii be completed by the 10th of
February. Both parties are confident of
success. The betting is now in favor of
tie Liberals.

lsiOn with another express train. Sixteen
PERSONS were killed, a number severely in
JIred and several coaches demolished.
English Politics.
The Pail Mall Gazette declares it has
good reason to believe that the report
that Gladstone has been summoned before
he Court of Queens Bench is unfounded.
The Times says the simple truth is the
was unable to withstand the an
nOyanCe caused by its repeated defeats since
the beginning Of the recess, and it deter
mined to win the country by a bold dash
and promises Of reduced taxation.

Death Of Livingstone Confirmed.
Herr Bremen, the German explorer of
Africa, in a letter to DR. Petermann, of
GOtha, dated Zanzibar, says Livingstone
died on the 18th of August. This date
differs from that of the previous report, but
all doubt has been set at rest by an official
dispatch received by the Government to-
day from Zanzibar. This dispatch states
that Livingstone died in
LObiya, after crossing marshes with water
for hours above his waist. The sufferings
of his whole party were terrible, and ten
of them died in consequence.
