The Parlamentary Elections, in the United Kinudom, Spectat Correspondence of The Chicago Tribune, Lonxpox, April 15—The Parliamentary elections are all but over, leaving results as- tonishing to the victors as well as to the van- quished. ‘The Conservatives have been beaten at all pojuts; Lord Beaconsfeld’s Government has been slgnally overthrown; and, before this letter can reach you, the telegraph will have announeed the accession of n Liberal Ministry to ofticw, Tho ups aud downs of polltical life have thus recelyed 0 new fliustration, A feeling prevails at the moment that we have reached the end of the official career of England's latest Prime Min- fster. Indeed, Lord Be nconsfield’s years and falling strength make ft seem far from prob- able that he will ever hold office again. Be thatas it may, such hopes as. his party build upon himare known to rest ono frail ten- ure. What remains of his career, oficial or otherwise, ean little affect the world’s estl- inate of this distinguished man, who begun life on n threelegged stool in an attorney's olfice, and rose to the highest office In tho realing who, during a most trying perlud in international aifalrs, has shown himself a statesman equal to great emergencies, and now goes Into retirement the most famous of his countrymen, ‘ The present revolution, apart from tho ef- foct it may have on Britlsh polley, has been attended by circumstances which will keep {t memorable In party annals. As 1 have al- ready hinted, it las been to both the great parties more or less surprise, In London which from a varicty of cuuses ls most of the time in a fog as to the state of politient feeling in the country~a Government victory was confidently daticlpated, The Metropolis fg enshrouded kian atmosphere of imperial, uillitary, and stock-Jobblng interesta,—an at- mosphere partleularly prolitic of political mirages, such as that which represents the filibustering spirit called dingolsn as an arti: ele of national faith, Ln most other parts of the country, however, n change of Govern- ment was foreseen, although doubtless it was not foreseen that the verdict of the electors woukl be so erushing and conclusive, ‘The Liberals counted sately on wresting many sents from elr opponents; but none the Jess the overwhelming victory in store for them was ao revelation to them as well as the Tories, A Honse of Can- mous majority which nay be roundly stated aa Mean hardly have entered into tholr wildest calculations, As for the Covern- wunt, thelr situation to-day is partientarly painful. ‘They were never tired of repeuting the stntoment thatthe country was ut thelr back; and the country, ft turus out, hes been at thelr back, but not with tho amiable inten- tions they had fondly supposed. On them, and on their friends on the Cantinent, the event has fallen Hkea thunder-clap Ina clear sky, The Cabinets of Berlin and Vienna were at no pains to conceal thelr confident hope and expectation that Lord Benconsteld ant tis collengnes would bo returned tri- amphantly to office, ‘Thele lusplredt journals were #0 ottlspoken In their preforences, and so curiously cock-sure in tone, Urat the result of tho elections was bound to have, for the mmonient at Jeast, 0 disconcerting effect In oftl- chil elreles ut those Capitals. In short, iths safe to say that hobody, elther at home or abroud, was quite prepared for the clean aweep that has taken place. : In one respect the present elections, viewed almply as 8 party competition, are eaiinently: satisfactory: they are conclusive, The votlnge public hag known its own tulnd thoroughly well, and has given tts suffrages ngninst 0 Tory Government without ambiguity or hes- itutfon, Seldom, i¢ Indeed ever, has poputur sentient found less equivocal expression in thig country. ‘The conntics as well as (be towns, tho agricultural pouilattons as well as tho arthian, have contributed to the Liberal miceess, ngtand has joined with Seotland, Tretand, and Wales fn declar! ni fora change in the administration of affalra, On that polut all parts of the United Kingdom are itn Inrmony! and it must help to reeonelte the Conservatives to loss of oles that their re- trement has been so plainly insisted upon, itis perhaps only natural that they should nttribute what appears to them an wureasons able revolution tou deslro for a change, tar the mere sake of ehanne Tn the Tess Intell. gent chiss of voters, But change has no charms for people who gre contented; and a fatrer view of the matter wilt bo to credit the electors of the United Kingdom with sub- stiniial reasons for belug dissalisied with Consorvallve polley, both at homo and abroad, Conservative administration at home ites too open tho chargy of neglect, or at ieant of indiiferenees and Conaervae tive policy abroad, while it y lay clahin to approval for its vigour, be wu habitual tendency to run counter te the cousclunce of the country, All this has been felt with doubly force shinee Lord Derby and Lord Carnarvon abandoned the Cabtnet. With the Imiperiaiiain whieh ts understoad to have been the dominating {dea there since that date, the people have no sortot sympathy; andthe men who went to the polla with dreams of Liuperlalism, they have sent back thoroughly uwake to Demdcratie reallltes, ‘The clectlon-relurns up to this mornin) show a net Liberal gain of 100 geats, which ig equal to 918 votes tit a divistow, ‘wo or three Isolated elections have yet to take pihee, which will not alleet the result already obtained, Making allowance: for the Con- servatlye majority in the late Pibtianent, the Liberal mafortty in the now Parliauient iy admitted by the Conupevatlves Yo wont to 174, Inehudlng the votes of the Dish Home Rulers, which ave set down ua 03 Tadepend- ently of Homeltule votes,—or Supposing that the Home-Ruters should vote with the Consorvatlves in wdiviston,—the Liberals wil! still haven clear majority of 45, Curiously enough, the Conservatives have held their erotitul better in Ireland than in the sister- tngdoms, fi Scotland, for example, where Me.
