Thu Flow or Immigration.?The
steamship Charleston, whioh arrived in
Charleston Tuesday morning, brought
209 moro immigrants. Major F. Mel
obere, Mr. F. Yon Saaten and others
conferred with them and took steps to
provida plattes for them. The most of
them were young men, (there were no
women in the crowd,) and were flue
types of manhood, being very robust
looking. The majority of them had
been in the United States for some
time, and had been transferred from
Ward's Island to Custlo Garden, whence
they were sent hither, their passage
money being paid before starting.
There was little or no money amongst
them, us they had been out of work for
some time in New York, which was the
cause of their being quartered at Ward's
Island. The mojority of them were la?
boring men, who had worked in ma?
chine shops, mills and on farms iu tho
Northern States, but had been thrown
out of employment by the severity of
the times. Tbey appeared anxious aud
willing to work, and expressed u desire
to know at onoe what disposition would

A Sad Occurrence.?A white woman
named Caroline Newberry, living about
live miles below the town of Union, was
burned to death last Friday. She was
standing with her back to the fire and a
child belonging to another woman iu
her arms, when her clothes caught fire,
and in a miuute the flames enveloped
hor. Throwing the baby on the bed,
she ran out of the house, but before
assistance arrived she was so badly
burned that she died soou afterwards.
On tho followiug day tho child was
found dead iu thu bed whero it had
been throwu. At tho ooroner's inquest
a sad coudition of affairs were disclosed.
It appears that tho mother of the child
could not give her baby sufficient nour?
ishment in consequence of herself be?
ing almost starving, and she had gouo
iu quest of food, leaving the baby in
the care of the woman who was burnt.
Ou tho return of the mother tho excite?
ment iu thu house was so great that eho
merely threw the olothes over the child.

Nearly all tho newspapers have this
year omitted that formidable lookiug

Facts About tue British Pahlia
ment.?Tho British Parliament which
bus been dissolved by Queen Viotoriaat
the instance of her' premier, was the
eighth of her reign, and mot on the
10th of December, 1868. It would not
have attained the constitutional limit
of sevon years uuMl 1875, but siuoe
1826 only one Parliament has existed
for rnoro than six years. The longest
Parliament recorded in English history
was that elected in 1661, which existed;
nearly seventeen yeare, and the shortest!
that.elected in 1830, which only lasted!
fivo months and twenty-six 'days. The1
House of Cummous now consists of 658j
members, of whom 493 are from Eng?
land and Wales, 60 from Scotland, and
105 from Irolaud. The number of1
electors on the register iu June, 1872,
was 2,574,039, numely: 2,094,781 in
England and Wales, 255,751 in Scot-1
land and 223,507 iu Ireland. Since
1872 all elections for members of Pur
liumeut must bo by ballot. Whon the
