The number of Irish Members in the minority,
was 4.0 ; of whom 30 represent counties, and three,
the great cities of Dublin, Waterford, and Cork. The '
number of Irish Members in the majority was 37,
of whom 19 only were county Members. The di-
visions in May, 1805, on the same question, were, in
the House of Lords, for it 51 ; against it 178—ma-
jority 127—1 n the House of Commons, for it 124. ;
against it 336—majority 212. The divisions in the
two Houses, upon the same question, last week, were,
in the Lards, fqr it 74 ; against it 161—majority 37.
In the Commons, for it 121 ; against it 281—majo-
I rity 153. It thus appears, that the difference between
the divisions of 1805 and 1808, amounts in the Lords
to 40 in favour of the question, and to 59 in the Com-
mons. When it is considered that the cry of gg No
Popery'; has ,intervened, and attempts have been made
to sew/se religious animosities, this growing sentiment
in favour of the Catholic claims, may appear at first
blush almost incredible ; but it is in fact, nothing
more than the natural progress of truth operating upon
the human mind, an effect which the late able discus.
sions in Parliament cannot fail to materially improve.
A number of most respecable Member s who were
unable to stay for the division on the Catholic ques-
tion, paired off. Lord John Townshend, who has
been detained from attendance in Parliament, by in-
disposition, came up on purpose to vote, and being
ill, paired off with Mr. G. Johnstone, Sir Thomas
Miller, Mr. Coke, Sir Francis Burdett, Mr. Bouverie ;
and several other Members also paired off on account
of the extreme lateness of the hour.
