LONDON. Aug. e.-The opening OF the new
British Parliament has been marked by a
strange smoothness in comparison with the
heated discussion OF the general elections. AS

everything between the two great parties was
arranged beforehand by the whips so that
when Mr.. Peel was proposed "a Speaker all
went Is tremendously as though there were
no two parties In tho State. The members
have since been sworn In. and. contrary to ex-
peotation. no objection was made to Michael
Davitt, several Tories having threatened to
oppose his taking the oath. on the ground that
he was convict who had not completed his
time OF course 1t was pure malice as Davitt
was released on ticket OF leave. and his time
has long since expired. The great battle

The number Of elections petitions which
have been lodged against Tory members has
been further increased this week. and shows
to what desperate straits the party was driven
to maintain its position In tho country. The
most significant objection Of all Is that against
Mr.. Balfour. whose agents are charged with
wholesale treating and bribery" Besides
this. some Of the voters. by an unexampled
display of cunning. voted three times. while
