In the last table there Is an apparent disagreement with the numbers commonly supposed to have made up the Division on the Reform Bill. We have been favoured with a List by one who has had the best opportunities, and used every exertion to make it correct; and we have followed our document, believing it to be more free from error than any List of the Division which has hitherto appeared. VOTES OF THE PEERS OF THE ROYAL FAMILY, SCOTCH AND IRISH REPRESENTATIVE PEERS, AND TILE BISHOPS.
