THE NEW HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The following list which we have compiled from different sources, gives the names, religion and politics of the newly returned Irish members of the Imperial Parliament. Ireland formerly returned 105 representatives, but smce the diefranchisement of Sligo- and Cashel, the number m 103, of the*e there are 30 Conservatives, 15 Liberals, while the Home Balers, outnumber both together, being 58. The elections generally were remarkable for the number of old members unseated, but the most notable was the contest for Louth, in -which an ex-Cabinet Minister Mr Chichester-Fortescue— who had represented the borough for 27 years, was beaten by Mr Alexander Sullivan, the editor and proprietor of the Home Rule organ, the ' Nation.' Mr Fortescue was an enemy to Home Eule and Tenant Right, and in his place in Parliament had proposed measures in regard to Ireland " more stringent than any that htid been brought forward at any time within the memory of man." Under these circumstances, it is scarcely to lie wondered at that the people of Louth should select in preference Mr Sullivan, whose pen I and tongue have been for the last decade fighting the b ttlcs of Home Rule and Tenant Right.
