THE DIVISION ON THE IRISH CHURCH.

An analysis of the division on the motion to go into
committee on the Irish Church 'lieu's' that the total num-
ber of members who filed off into the respective lobbies
early yesterday morning was 584, against 618 who voted
on the morning of March 24. Counting the Speaker and
the four tellers, the numbers stand respectively at
589 and 623, thus indicating that there were 34
more members in the House when it was proposed that
the bill be read a second time than on Thursday night.
Three Conservatives then voted with the Govern-
ment, viz., Lord Bingham (Mayo), Mr. Orr-
Ewing (Dumbartonshire), and Colonel Vandeleur
(Clare). The number has now been raised to four, these
three gentlemen having once more gone with a Liberal
Ministry, the other member being the Hon. James Grant
(Elgin and Nairn), who, however, had formerly recorded
his vote against the bill. On the previous occasion Bix Liberals
went against their party, viz., Mr. Briscoe (WestSurrey),Sir
It. Clifton (Nottingham), Mr. Dalway (Carrickfergus),
Mr. W. If. Maxwell (Kirkcudbright), Sir Bounden Palmer
Richmond), and Mr. Saumlerson (Cavan). This list has
now been reduced to exactly one-half, the Liberal deserters
being Sir Robert Clifton, Mr. Dalway, and Mr. Maxwell.
It will thus be seen that Mr. Briscoe, Mr. Saunderion,
and Sir R. Palmer—the last-named gentleman was in
the House a few minutes prior to the division—did not
vote at all on the second trial of strength.

On the 24th of March the majority in favour of Mr.
Gladstone was 118 ; this has since been increased to 125.
There were then fourteen seats vacant, tight belonging to the
Conservatives and six to the Liberals. Three elcctionsbave
since taken place, Mr. Clive and Mr. Hoskyns (Liberals),
having been returned for Hereford ; Mr. Fielden and Mr.

Hornby (Conservatives), for. Blackburn ; and Major
Walker (Conservative), for Dumfriesshire. Two members
—Mr. Weguelin and Mr. Howel Gwyn--who voted for
their respective parties in March, have been declared
unduly elected. The scats, therefore, at present vacant
are—

In addition to these, Mr. Birley, the Conservative
member for Manchester, has not taken his seat,
in consequence of a technicality in his election ;
and Mr. Hurst, the Liberal member for . Hor-
sham—although Major Aldridge has intimated his
intention not to go on with his petition--bas not as yet
taken the oaths. The vacancies, therefore, may be set
down as five and eight respectively, being an advantage
of three in favour of the Liberals. As 689 members were
in the House when the division was taken, and as there
are practically thirteen vacancies, it will be seen that
602 representatives are accounted for, leaving fifty-six
absentees.

In the present division, as in the last, the Liberals
answered to the summons of the Whips with more unanimity
than their opponents. Last month the absentee members who
neither paired nor voted were three on the Conservative
side, viz., Major Dickson (Dover), Mr. Drax (Wareham),
and Mr. Du Pre (Bucks) ; and two Liberals, Mr. Butler-
Johnstone (Canterbury), and Sir Robert Peel (Tamworth).
Each of these five gentlemen have now recorded their
votes—the three former against, and the two latter ir.
favour of the bill. Coming now to the members
who paired in favour of the bill being read a
second time, we find that Colonel Kingscote, Mr.
Magniac, and Earl Grosvenor were on this occasion in the
House ; but Mr. Bass, Ben., Mr. Henry Berkeley, Mr.
Harvey Lewis, and Mr. D. Williams (Merioneth), were
again absent. Probably their names will be found in the
list of pairs. Turning to those who previously paired
against the bill, it may be mentioned that Mr. 'l'. Baring
(Huntingdon), Mr. B. Bright (East Somerset), Colonel
Wright (Nottingham), and the Hon. Percy Wyndham
(West Cumberland) now went into the lobby with their
party ; the other three—Mr. Cornewall Legh, Mr.
Cawley (who was at the meeting at Lord Lonsdale's on
Monday), and Mr. Malcolm— were once more away fror
the scene of the conflict.
Two prominent names which figured in the division list
on the last occasion are now significantly absent—Lord
Stanley and Sir Roundell Palmer. The noble lord
was not in the House during the whole of the debate,
but the learned member for Richmond sat immediately be-
hind Ministers during part of the time that Mr. Gladstone WaS
addressing the House. It may be mentioned that of the 645
members of the House (allowing for the thirteen vacant
seats) every one—with the exception of the Speaker and
Major Walker—have either voted or paired on this ques-
tion. The last-named gallant gentleman—who won a seat
for his party in Dumfriesshire but a few weeks since—
probably paired.
The Liberals who voted in the first divisicn, but were
now absent, were—Mr. Adair (Ipswich), Mr. I3egwell
(Clonmel), Mr. Beaumont (South-West Riding of
(Yorkshire), Mr. Bouverie (Kilmarnock Burghs), Mr.
Brassey (Hastings), Mr. Brogden (WednesLury), Mr.
Bryan (Kilkenny), Sir Aaiun. Buller (Liskeard), Sir
T.ytton Bulger (Tamworth), Mr. Carter (Leeds), Mr.
Montagu Chambers (Deropport), Mr. Delalmoty
(Waterford), Mr. Howard (Bedford), Sir T. D. Lloyd
(Cardigan), Mr. North (Hastings), Baron Mayer
de Rothschild (Hythe), Colonel Stuart (Cardiff),
and Mr. Traill (Caithness). The following Con-
servatives who were present in the first division were now
absent :—Mr. A mphlett (East Worcestershire), Mr.
Broadley (East Riding), Mr. Tom Collins (Boston), Mr.
Connolly (Donegal), Mr. Dowdeswell (West Worcester.
shire), Lord Gallwey (East Retford), Mr. D. Gooc
(Cricklade), Mr. Hutton (Northallerton), Captain
Jervis (Harwich), Mr. Jones (Carmarthenshire), Mr.
Knight (West Worcestershire), Mr. Laslett (Wor-
cester City), Mr. Liddell (South Northumberland), Hon.
C. Lindsay (Abingdon), Colonel Lowther (West Cumber.
land), Mr. J. Lowther (York), Lord George Manners
(Cambridgeshire), Mr. Mel!or (Ashton), Admiral Seymour
(Antrim), Colonel Somerset (Monmouthshire), Lord
Stanley (King's Lynn), Hon. P. Walpole (North
Norfolk), Mr. Williams (Barnstaple), and Mr. H.
Winn (North Lincolnshire). It will be seen from this
that Mr. Beaumont, the member for the South-West
Riding, and Mr. Hutton, the member for Northallerton,
who were both declared duly elected on Thursday, did not
go into the division lobby. Both the members for
Hastings—where the petition against them was being
tried—also stayed away. Mr. Liddell had leave of
absence granted him on Tuesday night "on urgent
private affairs."
The tellers for the Ayes were Mr. Glyn and Mr. Adam,
and for the Noes Mr. Newdegate and Colonel Stuar,
Knox.

On Monday next Dr. Ball intend.; to a k the Chief
Secretary for Ireland whether the attention of her Majesty's
Government has been directed to the recomm ndation con-
tained in the report of the Irish Church Commissioners in
favour of lessening the price of purchasing the perpetuity of
Church leases; and whether the subject was under the con-
sideration of the Government with a view to legislation.

Messrs. D. Yewdall and Son's mills, at Bramley,
were on Thrusday morning discovered to be on fire, but the
reel and hose kept at the police station were promptly in
operation, and succeeded in extinguishing the flames. A
remarkable escapo is reported at tho firs•. Rawnsley, the
manager, entered the building, and was in the top
Morey when the iron roof fell in. It was supposed—not
unnaturally—that he had been buried amongst the ruins
and rubbish, but, to the surprise of everybody, he was found
hanging by tho feet from ono of the rafters, and was res-
cued from this predicament, having received a few very
slight bruises.

An "Army Medical Officer" writes to the Pall
Mall Gazette as follows :—" That (notwithstanding the
paragraph in the appendix to the Queen's regulations
noticed in your issue of the 14th instant) the sen-
tence of ' marking' has been earrled out in acme. instances •
as many as four and five times, can easily be proved by most
medical officers of any standing in tho service; and within
the posit month I have examined two soldiers presenting
respectively three and two distinct letters on their left
breasts."
The storm on Wednesday appears to have been
general throughout the North of England and the South of
Scotland. Very few casualties, however, are reported.A
horse was struck by lightning and killed at Preston, and a
young man, engaged in field operation with three horses, in
Euxton, nem. Chorley, was truck by lightning, which
caused the total loss of the use of his left arm. Two of the
horses were also partially disabled.—At Todmorden three
houses were struck by the lightning. The one most damaged
was struck at the roof roar the chimney at the gable; the
lightning passed through the bedroom floor, into the house,
,nd through two walls into the third house. In its course
case clock, which was in the bedroom of the first house,
was smashed to pieces, part of the ceiling was removed from
the top of the Louse, Mrs. Barker, who lived in the
hors', 1 al her sh o so!cs .11( arly torn off, one stocking and
)ne fo t were much burnt; she was struck deaf, nun so
Car paralyzed that she couhl net walk. One of the
inmates of the middle house was struck blind, but only re-
mained so a short time. Most of the windows of Barker's
house were blown out.. Some of tho slates wore car-
ried a distance of twenty yards.—Early on Thursday morn-
ing lightning was observed in Kensington, but it was unac-
companied with thunder or rain. At half-past two o'clock,
after a vivid flash bad passed, Police-constable Charles

Parfitt, 349 I, who was on duty at Campdon felt a
smarting pain in his eyes, and immediately afterwards he
found that ho could not see. He was 'assisted to the Kons-

ington police-station by a cabman, when it was found that
he was blind. He was a 6ingle young tnan, and much re,
opectecl by_W ouporior officers._
