THE DIVISIONS.
THESE Division Lists will before long become interesting and important as tables of reference. It will be seen, we suspect, that the members who now vote in small minorities will find their position changed, perhaps even before the present session is closed. Mr. Fox voted frequently in minorities varying in number from ten to thirty. Mr. HUME, whose voice was so potential on the 10th of May last, has frequently voted with much fewer members than even now appear to support him.
We now give the lists of the principal Division l of the Session, ' published in the Daily Papers, with the subsequent corrections which have been made in them. In the fourth column, it will he seen that few votes are recorded; for only 96 members supported Mr. D. W.
HARVEY in his motion for authorizing the publication of correct lists. The great majority of the House are still determined that their conduct shall be at least partially concealed from the observation of their constituents.
