THE DIVISION LIST.

IN the division by which the House of Commons
agreed on the morning of April 4 to go into com-
mittee upon Mr. GLADSTONE'S resolutions, 600
members, exclusive of tellers, took part. In
this morning's division the numbers were
five less, viz., 595. The majority against the
Government in the former case was recorded
Li 56, but two Liberal members having accidentally
voted with the noes instead of the ayes, the majo-
rity really was 60. In the division of to-day the
majority against the Government is 65.
It will be seen, on referring to the list, which
appears elsewhere, that four Liberals voted with
the Government. They were—E. ANTROBUS, Lord
CREMORNE, E. SAUNDERSON, and -J. WYLD. Mr.
BRISCOE, Sir J. MATHESON, and Mr. H. MAXWELL,
Liberals, who, voted against Mr. GLADSTONE'S
motion in the first instance, were absent from the
present division.
The following Liberal members were either
absent or paired :
Biddulph, R. M. Mackie, 3.
Briscoe, J. Mackinnon, L.
Brocklehurat, J. Mackinnon, W.
Brown, J. Marsh, M.
Bruce, Lord E. Martin, P.

Four new members, Mr. WELBY, Mr. TURNOR,
Mr. Wenn, and Mr. MILES, all Conservatives,
were sworn in last night, and were able to give
their support to the Government.
Sir ROUND LL PALMER, it seems, still keeps his
vote in abeyance.

JR umonn has been busy this morning re-
specting the course which her MAJESTY'S Govern-
ment will now pursue. Mr. DISRAELI in wait-
ing upon the QUEEN, at Osborne, to-day, will,
it is said, tender his resignation. Her MAJzsry
will refuse to accept it, and the PREMIER will
meet the House of Commons, on Monday, with a
request that it proceed with the necessary
legislation of the session, on the understanding
that there shall be a dissolution at the earliest
practicable moment.

tempt to assassinate the Duke of Edinburgh left
Sydney on March 23, and Melbourne March 31.
It reached Galle April 20, will be due at Alexan-
dria, Maylo ; Marseilles, May 16 ; and Southamp-
ton, May 23. The next mail will leave Syd-
ney, April 23, and Melbourne, April 20. It will be

Sydney for England April 4, a week after the
March mail, and 19 days before the April one.

AMERICAN POLITICS AND THE IRISH POPULA-
TION.—The Irish were always opposed to the anti-slavery
movement, being consistent and strenuous supporters of
that democratic party which included the Southern slave.
owners anti their abettors at the North, and they wire
opposed to the civil war through their hatred of the negro.
Mr. Maguire attempts to extol the services of the Irish
soldiers in the war, but he forgets that they fought with
equal determination and vigour on both sides ; and that,
after the fall of General IlL'Olellan, the Irish 'abetment'
in the North almost entirely ceased, and their old hatred
of the negro broke out in the bloody scenes of the New
York insurrection. They are also politically obnoxious
to the more moral class of Americans, by their persistent
opposition to all the measures of moral reformers to re-
strict the consumption of spirituous liquors. But se pert
of their political conduct has excited rush a deep and even
personal rancour as their opposition to the common
schools, which are unquestionshly smost the very noblest
institutions of American society.—Bdieborple Aseiers,
new number. _
