THE " COUNT OUT."
Mr. ANSTEY said he wished to draw the attention of
the Speaker to one or two points of order. It would he
remember that 3 short Limo ago au Honourable Friend
of his, who was apeaking on the Maynooth question,
was stopped in the middle of his speech by the Speaker
leaving the chair, four o'clock having arrived; and Yei
yesterday, because the Chancellor of the Exchequer was
speaking at four o'clock, the House was allowed to go ,_°ll
sitting up to five o'clock. Now, be wanted to know WO
a distinction had been drawn between the two co/
Again, it would be remembered theta few days ago, whi"
they were dividing in Committee of Supply, three 1113°'
Members were found in the lobby, and forced to Coal
into the House upon a question which they bad o°'
heard debated or put from the chair; and yet yesterdalf
evening, when a count out was moved by a supporter o
the Government, three Members who were standig
behind the lobby, and who would have made UP the
110U§0 had they been counted, were allowed to mare°
into the lobby.
.Now, ho wished to know if the rule
which applied to ono case of forcing the Member' t°
to the
attend in their place was not equally applicable

had recently been made, when the House met at twelve
o'clock on any other day but wednesdel.
and sat till three o'clock, the House met again
at five o'clock, but if the House continued sitting
111) "-
four o'clock the chair was obliged to be vacated, °-
A
the House did not meet again until six. Yesterday,
however, the House did not meet at twelve
but at one o'clock, and the rule therefore
did not apply to that instance.—(A laugh.) With re' gard to the next question, he had no hesitation in gal
that a Member could not be required to vote who bs
not heard the question put, and if in titt
,
case an Honourable Member was found in '
lobby while the division was going on he would be
directed to withdraw; but with regard to the last goes:
tion, the Chair could only count the Members who were
actually in the House, and although there might
a hundred Members behind the chair or in the lobbi be
t
yet if there were not forty Members in the House la,
business could not be proceeded with, nor sou
any Member be permitted to address the Chair. Mr. BERNAL thought it was important that a ie
should be defined whether Members not actually vvitul
the four walls of the House should be called on to o`ti,
re
Formerly Members in the lobbies voted,
kvo
ho shouli now be guided by what the SP"
b 0
had stated—that only those Members could vote w
were present and beard the question put.
Mr. HUME admitted he was a little irregular in lil
d.
terrupting the Speaker last night, but when be stop Peal
"'
at thirty-eight, and he (Mr. Hume) saw several
t
Members behind the chair, he naturally called
nl,O
tendon to the fact. He also saw twenty °lie
Members outside the door. Thirty years ago, when
d
was a teller in a division, Mr. Wilberforce retired behl-e,
Solomon's porch (the Speaker's chair) and was not
counted; ho was, however, noticed, and on his (Mr'a
Hume's) motion, ho Ist's called to the table, and asked whether he bad heard the question put, and on anse",o
ing in the negative, it was read to him, when he stated.
which aide he should vote, and he was accordingly included
in the division. He certainly thought there WSS gnrne
ground for complaint in respect to the " enunsii„-je t
last night. The 'question brought on by the ee,e.
Member was of great public importance, and it ebonnw:
not have been met in the way it had been by ihel;d
vernmeat. He hoped a Committee would be apPs`Dies
in the next Parliament to lay down some definite
for the guidance of the House on divisions.
The SPEAKER observed, that the mode of coal;
ing divisions in the old House was somewhat different
to that now adopted.
Mr. ANSTEY gave notice that to-morrow ho should
more, that when the House is counted the Sergcangt
Arms be directed to lock the doors, and that all Memo
bees both in the body of the House and in the lobbies
be counted.
The conversation then dropped.

POLI TECHNIC INSTITUTION.
The professor of chemistry, Mr. J. H. Pepper, coal'
menced hero on Monday a most popular subject for
Englishmen, viz.—Ale-brewing, tied the alleged adtuf.
teretion of the justly famed and favourite bitter ale c)
Mews. Salt and Co., and other Burton brewers, ,
which the learned gentlemen had paid especial visits, and
.
was, therefore, able to speak as an eye-witness of t
perfect integrity of the operations conducted in ten
establishments. Tho lecturer caramenced with a revin
of the process of fermentation, which might aPtIY be
termed one of transmutation, and illustrated by
tn-
struetivo diagrams and lucid explanation that the starche
in the barley was converted partly by the first process 0'
malting into sugar, end a carious principle containing
nitiogen, called diastase. This curious agent conifer,t
the rest of the starch in the operation of mashing into
grape sugar, which, fermented by yeast (another nitro-
genous compound), was converted into alcohol. Th,
starch and the sugar contain the same quantity n'
carbon with variable quantities of oxygen and hydrogen
in the proportions to form water, so that the shirt ,
one's back may be turned chemically into alcohol (vaig°'
gin) without that common mode of appealing to the
pawnbroker first; because linen is Equine, this can .e_
converted into grape sugar by boiling with sulphuric
acid, and the crizpe anger may be fermented into alcohol-
He omitted to mention the addition of bops after the
mashing, which afford the well-known grateful and aro-
matic titter, perfectly unlike and superior to any Ole
principle of tho same nature. After the lecturer had
spoken with the highest encomium of the cleanliness,
order, regularity, and magnitude, of the brewery opera-
tions conducted in Burtomen-Trent, he alluded in the.,
last place to the detection of strychnine, which was prove';
to be very simple, although some persons bad
stated
there were no tests that could he applied to this purpogeci
Various experiments were displayed with Ottu'a an
Lewis Thempson'a tests, as well as by a new test, disco-
vered by the learned lecturer, Mr. Pepper, which was ear
able of detecting the 10-70 000th of a grain. These tests
had all been applied to the bitter ale obtained in London
and Burton, nod Mr. Pepper was enabled most ernPhaa
tically to state that bitter ale, as prepar. cl at Burton,
WAS really a genuine article, and made only of malt, bops,
and spring water.
