It seems almost certain that the Greenock seat will be

retained by the Unionists. That, at least, is the upshot at present of the investigation, the corrected numbers being now given as follows :—Sir Thomas Sutherland (Liberal Unionist), 2,942; Mr. Bruce (Gladstonian), 2,887; majority for the Liberal Unionist, 55. Votes were apparently counted over twice in some instances, and in others the numbers had been wrongly added up. The number of Liberal Unionists elected to the new Parliament is now 47. The result of the polling in Orkney and Shetland was declared yesterday after- noon as being, for Mr. Lyell (Gladstonian), 2,624; for Mr, Younger (Liberal Unionist), 1,617; majority, 1,007. This completes the elections, and leaves Mr. Gladstone a majority of 40 on any exhaustive vote.
