THE DIVISIONS.
THE published lists of the Divisions of Monday and Tuesday last were very incorrect. Mr. BEAUMONT was put down in the majority. and among the pairs also ; Mr. Coamerr was said to have paired off _Pr the Tuesday's motion, whereas lie paired off against it. This was a natural mistake; for Mr. COIiL'ETT was formerly a Radical, but lately went over to the Tories : it was therefore reasorable to sup- pose, that as the Tories are once again in the shade, he would return to his old party. It appears, however, that he has not done so yet. Sir JOIIN OWEN was placed both in the majority pad the rnmno- nty. We are not surprised at this mistake; for, as the Liberals were likely to regain the ascendancy, they might reasonably calculate on Sir JOHN'S vote, although he has lately been a regular supeorter of the Tories. Sir P. BrIeew was erroneously classed among the minority : This was a palpable blunder. Mr. WALTER paired eff with the Tories. He has not, we believe, given a single Liberal vote this session: And yet this gentleman a year ago professed to be a most determined Anti-Tory : his apostacy has indeed been barefaced. Sir MICHAEL. Strew STEWART will not have the slightest chance of being reelected. No eonstitirency in the empire has been more grossly misrepresented than that of Renfrewshire. Sir MICHAEL himself cannot pretend that he would have been their :choice, had lee avowed himself a supporter of the Irish Church abuses and of a Tory Ministry. In fart, he is pledged to a directly opposite course to that which he has adopted. We suspect that the Marquis of A Nosrsre and Lord DiNoneeN now regret the support they gave to Colonel PARRY, the Member for Carnarvon. This gentleman pro- fessed to be a Reformer, in favour of Triennial Parliaments, and other Liberal rnet;sures ; but he votes with the Tories. As for Mr. SHEPPARD of I'reme, he is where we knew he would be found--among the late Minis- terialiA s. We were repeatedly urged to place this gentleman in our list of Reformers ; but we knew better. Mr. Bauesev of Sunderland is endeavourlog to make amends for his backsliding., and has voted regularly con• tituonts would desire On the Irish Church question ; but his eolleagee, Alderman Tuostesoa, has taken a contrary course. We Imp:: that the electors of Sunderland will make an earnest attempt at the next election to eject this trimming politician. Mr. BENETT of Wiltshire seems to have abandoned his old platy, and joined the Torice. We confess that we were simple enough to have given him credit for selitical consiAency. Sir Merruew Rinsee will not surely he allowed to sit again for time independent and liberal borough of New- castle. The electors might as well have returned Mr. lionosioet to neutrali:ie the vote of Mr. ORD : they svposed that they had elected two Pt ftomers, instead of one Reformer and one rat. The Caithness- :hire constituency- will learn from time debates of the week, that their prcc7ous 11eprestat ttive, Mr. SINCLAIR, is quite eager to display his attach:mint to Toryism. We warned the electors in time, that Mr. S INC!, 11: ties too fond of sneaking about the private parties at Court: Ile nenee.,,d to cajole them notwithstanding: we rejoice that his real tar[neie!,•e zee now placed beyond suspicion, and that he will never misrepresent then] again. Mr. ANDREW JOHN SToN E, who absented himself front the division of Thursday seSmight, voted openly will the 31inisteme, whom lie had distinctly promised to do all in his poe.-er to turn out, on the important division of Tuesday. It was nods ,1 mid declared by Ministers, that, if they were defeated on they must resign. Mr. ANDat.w JOHNSTONE, therefore, by ve fi thsm, did all he could to keep them in their places. twrfidy of Sir Groact: MURRAY was no match for
! at punishment time Perthshire pledge-breaker re- ree l lent that the betrayed constituency of Mr. Jolter-
t .!: from dealing with him according to Ms deserts.
