THE LORDS' DIVISION ON THE BUSE
SORT BILL

Those who feel an interest in the numbers tak-
ing part in a great division in the House of Peers
would search for a long time in the journals of
their lordships' house for a parallel to the scene of
yesterday morning, when 289 noble lords per
recorded their votes. Certainly nothing
like it has been witnessed for very many years.
On July 8, 1864, when the Earl of Malluesbury
moved a vote of censure on Lord Palmenston's
Danish policy, 242 peers took part in the division.
On May 21, 1860, when the second reading of the
Paper Duty Repeal Bill was rejected, the num-
ber present was 251. On July 2,1858, although the
second reading of the Church Rates Abolition Bill
was negatived by a majority of 151, only 139
noble lords were in their places. On February 26,
1857, Lord Derby's vote of censure on Lord Pal-
merston's Chinese policy was lost in a house of
124. And on June 17, 1850, a motion of the same
statesman, then Lord Stanley, disapproving the
foreign policyof the wbig government, was carried
in a house consisting of 190 members.

On none of these-occasions have the conserva-
tive peers mustered in such force as they did yes-
terday morning. Four years ago they brought
together 119 ; eight years ago, 161. In 1860 their
majority was 71, and in 1838 it was 79. We are
omitting any reference to proxies, which have not
been used in the present instance, merely remark-
ing that in 1M64 it was by their sole use that tho
scale was turned against the liberal government,
and that in the proxies on both aides out-
weighed the number of peers present.
Only once in the course of those divisions have
the prelates voted so unanimously as on the Bus-
pemory Bill. That was when the question of
church rates abolition was before them ten years
ago. Then they voted l) non-contents, asagainst
21 now. On neither of these occasions, when the
into rests of the church have been under discussion,
has a single occupant of the episcopal benches
voted with the minority. At other times the right
rev. leers Lave given their support to eithcrparty.
In 1864 they were 11 to 1 in favour of Lord Pal-
merston; in 18110 they weer. eight to three; in
1857 five to one; and in 1850 seven to four.
Of the peers created by Lord Derby in his
second and third administrations the follow-

leg were present :- Lords Chelmsford, Churston,
Strathspey-, Egerton, Tredegar, Hartisinere, Lyt-
ton, Hylton, Strathnuirn, Brencepath,
Colonsay, Cairns, Fitzwalter, Ormuthwaite,
n, and O'Neill.
The names of the following noble lords, who
are describe.] as are found in the majority:
—Lords Aveland, Congleton. Crewe, Dartrey, Den-
man, Effingham, Grey, Leitrim, and Meath. With
respect to Earl Grey, it may be added that in every
division to which we have previously alluded, ex-
cept that in 18.50, when he was a member of the
government, he has voted with the conservatives.
The Earls of Carnarvon and Denbigh voted with
the minority.
Of the lords temporal who were present, 6 dukes,
4 marquises, 26 lords, 3 viscounts, and 59 barons
voted in favour of the bill ; and 7 dukes, 7 mar-
quises, 56 earls, 15 viscounts, and 8.5 barons voted
against it. With the contents there were the Earls
of Clarendon and Kimberley, previous Lord-Lieu-
tenants of Ireland, while the Marquis of Abercorn
went into the opposite lobby. Of Lord Chancel-
lors, past and present, Lords Cranworth and West-
bury supported the bill, and Lords Chelmsford and
Cairns opposed it. The new Lord Brougham was
in the minority.

Howl.no AND DzeilLuts CruLDßXtee BA-
sera.—Hanover-square-rooms ought, and no doubt will
be, a West-end centre of attraction to-day and to-mor-
row, as they certainly were yesterday. A bazaar is being
held there under yerydistinguished patronage, the profits
of which will be devoted to the refugee in London and its
suburbs for homeless and destitate children, and the train-
ing ship Chichester. A few startling figures will show the
need of these institutions. Last year 2,141 jaywalk,
offenders were arrested in our midst, of whom 161 were
under 10, and the rest between 10 and 15 years of
age, while there are raid to be 150,000 children in London
who are never taught to work. Pauperism, moreover, is
fearfully on the increase, so much so indeed, that the
numbers now in receipt of parochial relief is calculated at
a fifth of the entire population. Now ono of the air® of
the society appealing through this bazaar for eleemosy-
nary suppoM is to stem part of this surging tide of social
disorganuntion, and it proposes ultimately to do so by
taking off the streets from time to time 500 helpless boys
and girls. It has now nearly 400 under its fostering care,
who are being trained in habits of industry, and placid in
the way of eventually obtaining their own livelihood. A
specimen of what can be thus acoomplished may be seen
at the bazaar, and a visit would not only assist the good
work, but afford plasmicc and gratification even to the mere
Right-seekers. The sides and upper end of the room are
lined with prettily arranged and well furnished stalls, over
which appear the names of the Countess of Derby,
the Countess of Shaftesbury, the Countess of
Tankerrillo, Elizabeth Countess of Harrington, the
Viscountess Clifden, Lady Charles Bruce, Mrs Alston,
Mrs. Tanner, Miss Gulliford, Miss Ward, and Mrs.
Williams, most of whom personally superintend the
fancy sale. Many of the children assist in the labour,
and the more homely articles, for personal use, are their
own productions. The band of the Coldstream Guards,
under the direction of Mr. Fred. Godfrey, play through-
out the day selections from popular opera and dance
music, and between four and six o'clock Min Sophia
Flora Heilbron, an intelligent and interesting blond of 14,
who has made the round of the courts of Europe, gives a
kind of pianoforte concert of her own. She began yester-
day with those good old stock pieces, the Batas of Prarsa
and the Carnival of Venice, and soon won the admiration
and applause of a crowd of young ladies. The banter ie
open both meaning and evening, and bids fairt;ta be a
great success.
