we certainly may, that the Orkneys will return a follower of Mr. Gladstone. Making this assumption, they have turned out as follows :- England, roroughs Counties ...... 465 seats. U niversities ...

The grand total shows 316 Conservatives, 78 Liberal Unionists, 191 Gladstonians, and 85 Parnellites. It should, nowever, he added that of the 78 Liberal Unionists, some five or six are said to have given in their adherence to Home-rule since the last Election, so that if they can be counted on at all, it is only on the ground that they will perhaps now again incline towards the victorious party, to which they adhered in the great division of June 8th, seeing that of Home-rule in Mr. Gladstone's sense there is no immediate prospect.
