In the above calculation there are included eight doubtfuls. Of these we give four (viz., Mr. G. Morris, Sir G. Bowyer, Mr. Horsman, and Sir J. M'Kenna,) to the Liberals, and four (viz., Lord Elcho, Sir R. Peel, Lord R. Montagu, and Mr. iloebuck,) to the Conservatives. There is a double return of two Liberals for the one seat in Athlone, but on the other hand, Mr. Callan is returned for both Dundalk and County Louth, so the balance is preserved. There is already one vacancy since the General Election, caused by the accession of Lord St. Lawrence (Galway borough) to the Peerage as Earl of Howth.
