The Times of this morning gives the following analysis of
the siumber of new Conservatives and Liberals who, up to the presetit time, have started for various boroughs and counties, and of the -number of Conservatives and Liberals retiring altogether from Par- liament—
" New Conservative candidates New Liberal candidates
Majority in favour of the new Conservative candidates
Conservatives retiring Liberals retiring Majority in consequence of Liberals retiring 38"
It is not stated whether this account is weeded of candidates who have started and again withdrawn ; and at the best it can be of no great value, as the fact of a candidate's " starting" affords no pre- sumption of his winning. The only certain thing about it is that there will be a rare expenditure.
