THE GENERAL ELECTION IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.

The following Nationalists have been returned by Irish Constituencies in addition to th« list which appeared in our last issue :—: — Louth South, Mr. J. Nolan ; Wexford North, Sir T. Esmonde ; Donegal North, Mr. O'Poherty ; Kerry West, Mr. O'Donnell ; Armagh South, Mr. Campbell ; King's County (Birr Division), Mr. Reddy ; Cork South-East, Mr. Crean ; Dublin South, Mr. Mooney ; Leitrim North, Mr. P. A. Mcllugh ; Kildare North, Mr. Leamy ; Tyrone East, Mr. P. C. Duggan ; St. Patrick's (Dublin), Mr. W. Field ; Westmeath, Mr. Kennedy ; Meath North, Mr. White ; Mayo North, Mr. O'Kelly.

In the Dublin South contest the Nationalists succeeded in winning the seat iD consequence of a split in the Conservative camp Mr. Mooney, who was successful, polled 3668 votes. The Right Hon. H. C. Plunkett (C), the furmer member, received 2854 votes, and Mr. Ball 1333 votes. The landlords ran an Independent candidate owing to Mr. Plunkett appointing a former Parnellite to the secretaryship of his department, and showing a generally conciliatory spirit towards the Home Rule party.
