The names of General Sharpe, Mr. Wyse, Mr. Copeland, and Mr. Sanford, were omitted from the list of Members who voted on the Address last week : all these gentlemen supported Ministers, and their names should have been in the majority. [General Sharpe observes, in a note to us, that " his position was correctly reported in the Morning Chronicle, which is considered the authentic registrar of those with whom he generally divides," and he therefore is surprised that a " Liberal paper should have fallen into the error " of omitting his name. We regret the error, especially as the General made great exertions to reach town in time for the opening of Parliament; but we must just remind him, that although his "authentic registrar " placed his name in the majority on Friday, he was numbered among the absentees in that journal on Saturday. Why are not the names published with the Votes, according to Mr. Ward's plan, adopted by the House last session ?]
