ENGLISH ELECTIONS.

LONDON, April IA correspondent o
the Times at Berlin says: 'Tn the highes
official circles the prospect Of q Libera
victory in Parliamentary elections in Eng
land is regarded with no small fear anG
trembling. The universal belief in Ger
many is that the peace Of Europe would
be much more assured under Tory thar
under Wing government"
The defeat at York city of James Low
ther, Conservative, Chief Secretary fol
Ireland, is received with wild delight by
Home Rulers and Nationalists in Ireland,
Sir John Lubbock, Liberal, defeated at
Maidstone, will probably stand for Rad.
Of Harrington, Liberal, being successful
In Northern Lancashire, the latter having
been elected for Radnor District and
not for Lancashire, as previously an
nounced.
The Saturday Reriau independently,
says: "The constituencies could not have
given q much more decided answer to
Lord Beaconsfield's appeal, but why they
have given 1t, nobody can exactly say.
Very probably may electors were tired Of
the Government merely because II had
been six years in office. But there are
some things the elections have placed be-
yond contest. They show that the pub
licans have not exercised the influence 1t
was expected they would; that the Liber.
ais were not divided by crotchets; that
their party organization is much improved,
and that the Moderates have, as a rule,
neither abstained nor gone over, but have
voted with this party"
+ LONDON, April 4.-The 0bserrT, Of this
morning, says: 1--WE understand there
will be no decision as to whether the Gov.
eminent shall resign at once or await an
adverse vote OF Parliament until the exact
number OF the Liberal majority is ascer-
tanned. After the result OF the polling on
Friday became known o special meSsen-
ger was sent TO Baden Baden with dis
patches for the Queen. We have reason
TO believe that Mr.. Gladstone disapproyes
OF the arrangement suggested in various
quarters that he accept q subordinate
Office in the new administration. He still
adheres to his intention OF not resuming
Office, but will cordially support the recog-
nized liberal leaders, Earl Granville and
and the Marquis Of Harrington. The re-
ports current about the composition Of the
new Ministry are decidedly premature as
there has been no consultation between
the Liberal leaders on the subject.
We mention the following rumors as
possessing certain amount Of probabili-
ty, although resting as yet on no basis Of
ascertained fact: It Is said that the Earl
ofDerby will be offered foreign office.
II he refuses, as is probable, the office
will be assigned to Lord Kimberly. W.
E. Forster will be Minister OF Colonies,
Goschen, Chancellor OF Exchequer; Lord
Cardwell, Secretary OF War; Mr.. Childers,
First Lord OF Admiralty; Sir VIM. Yer
non Hareourt. Sir Charles Dixie and
Mr.. Fawcett, as representatives Of the ad-
vanced section Of the party, will occupy
seats in the new Cabinet. Lord Rose
berry, It may also be taken for granted,
will hold an important post in the Liberal
administration.
