Mr. Sinclair Aytoun made a shabby motion to cut delve

the amount of compensation to .Maynooth, and was beaten la* in the evening in a House not quite so full, by 107 (305 to 191). Of course, in this division some ultra-Protestants deserted to the

Conservative side. Besides Mr. Aytoun himself, and Mr. Wluilley, MrChambers (Marylebone), Mr. Edward Ellice (St. Andrew's District), Mr. Fawcett (Brighton), whose greatest pleasure it seems to be to vote against the Government if he can only get a decent opportunity, Mr. Whitbread (Bedford), and Lord Milton (!) (South-West Riding), and others deserted.
