The polling contiuues to be unusually heavy. The Conservatives and Unionists have attained 1,518,131 votes, the Home Rulers and Labor candidates 1,598,237. The net gain of the Home Rulers is 36 seats. The Liberal Unionists have lost 15 seats, including Greenock, and won six. The Times expects a majority in favor of Home Rule of between 20 and 30. Orange demonstrations were held all over Ulster yesterday, to protest against Home Rule. A shot was fired at the returning officer at Newton, smashing the pipe in his mouth. There is an impression that it was intended to shoot Mr Leigh, the new member. Freeman's Journal predicts that Mr Gladstone wiil have a majority of 50. It urges that Ireland must be made independent of the domination of priests, and demands their legal suppression. Boston Irishmen have subscribed £2500 towards the expenses of the McCarthy party. It is believed that Mr Gladstone will have a large majority, The Times says there will have to be another election next year to a certainty, and that the Unionists will have to prepare to battle for the integrity of the Empire. The Chronicle thinks that the Liberal revival is due to he timpulse given by the trade unions. Speculation is already rife as to the new Ministers. It is thought probable that Mr H. H. Fowler will be Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr Labouchere Home Secretary, Lord Carington Secretary for the Colonies, and Mr Shaw LeFevre Secretary for Ireland. In the Edinburgh election Mr Gladstone polled 5750, and his opponent (Col. Wauchope) 5077. Mr Gladstone won 11 seats to-day. The Liberals gain the Acrington division of Lancashire (Mr- ,). JT.

The railway was cut near Clare to prevent a special train, conveying voters

i reaching the place in time. Precaution I had been taken, however, to send a detached engine on ahead, and this saved the train. The engine was c .psized, but the three men on it escaped unhurt. The Liberal ery throughout the Midlothian election was " Vote for the Grand Old Working Man." The Tory cry was " Vote for a Resident and the Church of Scotland."
