The A'rrORNEY-GENERAL stated that its object was
to place Roman catholic charities on the rine footing as
those of protestant dissenters, which had not hitherto been
the case.

Mr. HENLEY thought the erplanation of the A -
General no important that he moved the recommittelWorle
bill, in older that its provisions might be further considered.

into committee upon the bill when a lung and somewhat
debate arose upon the wording of the first clause,

THE CHURCH .1471 DIVISION IN THE LORDS.
The division on Tuesday night &bows that while
the chards rate abolitionists have this searion lost round in
the House 4 Commons, they have ea•lewhat unproved
their paition in the Upper House.
In HZ@ the result of the division an the bill was ea
follows:

Present. Proxies. Paired. Total.
Fur the bill
Against .....
—the majority against the bill being 151, in a house at 275
peers. Thu year it was, we believe, arranged that proxies
shouli not be used, and therefore the niunbers stood thus :
_ .

Present. Paired. TotaL
For the hill
Against
—being a ruajurity of 87, and an increase of five in the
number of peers supporting the hill.
Of the peers who were absent in 1858 there were Zi who
voted for it on this uccaaion. Two—the Duke of Newcastle
and the Earl of Airlie—who then opposed it, have now voted
and spoken in its favour ; while Inrd Talbot de Malabide has
left the abulitioeists, end voted against them. Thirteen
peers who emmorted the Lill in 1858 were absent on Tues-
day, namely, au, Duke of Bedford, Marquis of Meade'.
Marquo ileaditert, Earl Fortescue, Earl Scar-
borough, VlacoAlllC Stratford de Radcliffe, and Lords Deere,
Dormer, Laufferin, Ossiolphin, Holland, Londeelsorough, autl
]fanners; but there is no reason to suppose that these
noblemen have changed their views on the question.
Twenty-Ms pears absent in 1858 have now voted against
tar bill ; while 74 who voted against it then have not re-
puted the vote. Samna of those have voted for the &d-
-aisies of the Jews to parliament, and for the abolition of
nthdatan' money; and the supposition is, therefore, not
usivamonatio that their absence on this ansision may be
preliminary tea future change of vote.
