July 6, The result ot the Greenock election, the first returns of which gave Mr J, Bruce a majority of 44 (not 1040 as at first cabled) over Sir Thomas Sutherland, is still doubtful, as it is alleged that heavy impersonation was indulged in, The Times, commanting on the results SO far as recorded, states that it is evident Mr Gladstone will sweep neither London nor the provincial boroughs,

Mr \V, O'Brien is seriously ill at Cork, the result of tlio election outrage,

The polls in tho constituencies are unusually heavy, and the majorities continue narrow.
