EXPERIMENT WITH THE GREAT BRrrAIN.-Thls
levathan monster OF the deep was placed for a few
triing repairs IN one OF the dry docks connected
with our harbour, on the 9Th instant as there was
but slight spring tide on that day, very short
draught OF water was necessary to get her in with
safety; but alter every effort, by trimming Goals,
bles, anchors, Nc, II was found that she was draw
ing at seven O'Clock on the morning of the day alud
ed TO, ii feet inches aft and IL feet inches for
ward. Captain Hoskins on seeing this gave direc-
tons to draw bolt out of the bow, and allow the

THE ELECTIONS IN GREAT BRITArN-The cleo
tlons which have taken place OF late do not indicate
the popularity OF the government. The place of the
late Mr. Somes, the great ship owner has been filed
at Dartsmouth by an opponent OF the Government
AT Abingdon the Attorne y-General narrowly esca-



two in the field, and yet he poled within twenty
eight OF the ministerial candidate. In West Suffolk
a candidate pledged to oppose the Free-trade theo-
rles OF the government and bound TO maintain the
present corn-aw, was successful. Mr. Fitzroy Kel-
ly has had a narrow escape, at Cambridge, and so
uncertain was the contest, that preparations had
been made by the sitting member for Windsor to
vacate; and make room for him. The official ma
iority in his favor only H. AT Exeter, the May
nooth conduct of the Government was fiercey as
sailed, and the returned member was pledged to op
pose sucha policy tor the future. All this indicates
beyond mistake that the Governments popularity is
on the wane Attention is now being turned to the
register The present Parllamentis approaching its
term OF existence, and the next struggle cannot be
more than ayear, or, at the furthest, couple OF
years distant 1t would be premature to speculate
on the result. year or two may make difference
in the beating of the national pulse; but Judging
from present appearances, the star of Sir Roberts
popularity is setting.
