the list of the division on that occasion . It is not possible to decide with equal certainty with regard to the new Members , and those who had not voted on the occasion referred to . There can be
little doubt , however , of our making a safe estimate for the cause of Emancipation , by dividing these in the same proportions as the Members re-elected , that is , iii equal numbers on each side , after devoting one for the Speaker , who , of course , did not vote . Of the 100 Irish Members we can ascertain the sentiments nearly of all . It is quite certain that 70 are friendly ; two or three doubtful , not included : the account then will stand thus :

immediately pronounces beautiful . The costume is strictly that of the period a plain falling collar or band , with a cloak or mantle thrown round the shoulders . This porti'ait remarkably answers to the description or cognomen bestowed upon Milton , that of The Lady of his College .
There is a softness of expression in the countenance , and an intensity of thought with a mildness of character , utterly at variance with the sturdy politician and uubending theologian of his eventful period , a difference so peculiar as might well cause that singular designation to be given to him . —Evening paper .

it will be a very great acquisition ; to prevent a great part of the pain experienced by the patient , which is unavoidable on the removal of the old glasses ; and , lastly , to preserve the * linen , &c , clean during the operation . These
improvements are worthy the attention of the profession as well as the public , whose comfort lias been studied . No advantage is taken of the patent , as the price i ? * only a few shillings more than an ordinary set of those instruments .
