At King's Lynn, on Wednesday, the Conservative candidate, Mr. A.

W. Jarvis, was declared returned by a majority of 255 over his Gladstonian opponent ; for Mr. Jarvis there voted 1,423 electors, for Mr. J. H. Sanders, the Gladstonian, 1,168. At the July election, the majority for Mr. W. Bourke was 271; but, of course, Mr. Jarvis was not likely to bring so large a proportion of the voters to the poll as the old and long-tried Member who served so long as Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and who is to go out to Madras as successor to Mr. Grant-Duff.
