the northern division of Bucks, where

Gus by a majority of POS, gain of 299
votes. OF the five elections the Tories
have been successful on only ene-Slea-
ford-where Mr.. Chaplin went before
his constituents on his appointment to
a ministerial Office, and his return by
an overwhelmingly Conservative con-
stituency was foregone con clusion,
though his majority was re-
duced far below the expectations
of his friends, and the figure
conceded by his opponents. The Lib
eral press taunt Joseph Chamberlain
numerically on his recent eharacteri-
cation of these elections as a miniature
general election, which would Indicate
by their results the outcome of the next
general appeal to the people. and are
disposed to regard him as a wonderfully

withStanding the almost unanimous
hostility of the British press to his pre-
tensions, NAV be explained on very
material grounds. There is no doubt
that very considerable portion of the
funds which have been put to so many
questionable uses in the recent French
elections were subscribed in London,
presumably by the French colony in the
English capital, but by no means
wholly. for if ever full list of the sub
scribers shall be disclosed it Will be found
to include not few London spectators
and financiers. at least one English peer
and several members of the house of
commons. of whom no one would ever
dreamed as being likely to interest
themselves actively in French politics.
Gen. BOulanger owes great deal to the
romantic libarality of women. One
French lady Of rank, residing in Lon
den, sold her Jewels in order to make
him present of the proceeds, and an
other confesses to have run herself into
debt to swell the generals finances.
Until the result OF the second elections
BOulanger continued to be lion
lied in certain quarters. Visions of
another Napoleon II. seemed to have
filled the head of many English host
esses. They were proud to meet the
general; they acknowledged him III
public with evident pleasure at his con-
descensiOu in recognizing them and
seemed to believe that they would be
bright stars at his court when he re-
built the TuillerieS. The people
