The election for Mid-Durham has resulted, as every one knew

it would, in the return of the Gladstonian candidate by a very large majority,-2,094,—Mr. Wilson (Gladstonian) polling 5,469 votes, against 3,375 given for Mr. F. Adolphus Vane-Tempest. The last contest was in 1885, before the Home-rule question had arisen, and the majority then was still larger,—namely, 2,554,—so that the majority has dwindled by nearly 500 votes. But this may either be due to Liberal Unionist votes, or to the absolute confidence of the Glad- stonians in their victory rendering their poll a light one.
