TESTS OF. THE PRESENT HOUSE OF COMMONS.

TnE Parliament of 1852 will probably not survive the session of 1857, and we may look for a general election before 1858. Many Members of the present House of Commons will seek reelection at the hands of their constituents, and they ought to be judged by the work they have done since they were last elected. It is certain that many will be again intrusted with their charge ; they will be rendered more efficient if they be accompanied by Mem- bers better able to assist • in the business of Parliament, political or legislative ; and in many an example of the present House the constituencies will have a lesson against the election of inefficient men. Every constituency which, for some local, social, or per- sonal purpose, sends up the wrong man to fill the appointed place, not only wastes one item in the representation, but dilutes or ob- structs the efficiency of the other Members ; and many such dilu- ents have rendered the House of Commons incapable of executing the business in which the better Members could have guided it. The present Supplement of the Spectator will assist constituencies in forming their judgment on the conduct of the individual. Mem- bers and on the Character of classes of Members.

Five of the most important divisions have been selected as voting-tests of the present Members. The divisions are taken in preference from the last session, because they thus afford the la- test and the nearest insight into the actual tendencies of the men and into their Political relations. The strongest party muster of the- session was obtained in support of or in opposition to Mr. Whiteside's motion of censure upon the Government for the capi- tulation of Kars and the conduct of the war ; Lord John Russell's scheme of national education, Mr. Spooner's motion for the with- drawal Of" the Mayno-oth endowment, Mr. Miall's motion for secu- larizing the revenues of the_lrish Church, and Mr. Henry Berke- ley s annual motion for the Ballot, were, next to the war, subjects of the greatest popular interest. In the columns of the following pages constituencies may see the conduct of all the present Mem- bers of the House of Commons on these questions, and can frame a better estimate of the tendency and worth of their representatives than would' be afforded by any new election-address framed to catch the supposed wishes of the several 'constituencies.

Next to the state of the Member's account in the matter of voting is the state of his account in the matter of attendance. It will be observed in the subjoined eolumns, that there are a great number of blanks, denoting the absence of the Members against whose names those blanks stand in the important divisions of the session. Some Members are present at only one or two divisions, seine are absent from all ; as if they considered the post a matter of sinecure and dignity, and not a trust for the purpose of giving effect to the opinions-and wishes of their constituents. The large number _of blanks, Save in the exceptional cases where sufficient reasons can be assigned, seems to denote in the present House, either a cowardly shrinking from duty, or an extreme indifference to questions in which large sections of the community take an interest. Since the motions of the last session have for the most part been framed in as mild a form as possible, so as to secure the largest number of votes, the striking proportion of absences must cowardly less assigned: to coa:rdly shrinking from the avowal of opinion than to extreme indifference.

There may be exceptional reasons for excusing attendance. The most conspicuous will be in the cases of very eminent men, whom the constituents will hold it an honour to have as their re- presentatives in Parliament, but whom age or ill health precludes from a constant attendance. An example which now belongs to the past occurred in the case of Mr. Macaulay the late Member for Edinburgh. Among those who are least robust in body, however, some have been the most assiduous : Mr. Roebuck is an example. But a House of absentees would evidently be useless for the work of a nation : a good attendance, therefore, is the essential of a good Member of Parliament. Without a good attendance, the opportunities of useful Parliamentary action are thrown away. The silent Member neglects his business in supporting the active Member who gives effect to the opinions of their party ; and the absentee deserts that watch which he is bound to keep, not only upon the-carrying but even upon the proposing of bad measures, upon the statement of error, or the avowal of wrong sentiments. Mere attendance, however, has no positive merit. The absentee is a bad Member; but it does not follow that every close attender is a good-Member. Diligence in this matter may sometimes de- generate into brag. This utility of attendance will be in great part tested by our li!ininiary of work done or attempted to be done. We take only the Bills-or other action of Private Members; the Government business being measured by a different rule, and the Government

Members being judged with their colleagues in office. It will be found that those Members who have been most conspicuous as spokesmen during the past sessions of the present Parliament have not accomplished the largest amount of legislation. Mr. Disraeli, for example, can stand no comparison in legislation with a gentle- man whose voice is heard only in the briefest statement of dis- tinct facts or in explanation of purposes,—Mr. Dunlop, a private Member, who has carried a number of useful bills for improving the law of Scotland. On the other hand, it would be by no means true to say that Members must be judged by the quantity of the legislation they initiate. Mr. Henley, who has carried no bills, vigorously defended the outworks of his party at important periods, and placed the stamp of his Conservative hand on many bills that have become statutes. It would be a great advantage to the Liberal party if all its opponents were men of as much fidelity to their standards, of as much ability and vigour, as Mr. Henley.

Even success in legislation is not the point. Mr. Locke King has introduced several bills, some of which have been carried, while several have not been carried ; but his County Franchise Bill had an effect upon the subject of franchise- extension which has not yet died out, and which will render the next Reform Bill larger than it otherwise would have been ; his bills to improve the laws of property have carried forward an important series of improvements, some of which are still in dis- cussion ; his Statutes-not-in-use Bill of last session relieves the statute-book, and protects the citizen against unknown traps. We know of no statistical or arithmetical measure that can mete the value of Members in their speaking. Length of speech is certainly no advantage ; and Sir Charles Wood, whose power of distinct utterance failed long before he had com- pleted his five-hours address on the Indian Budget, has pro- bably done much to check the tendency to monster speeches. Even in the most successful of these displays, such a S Mr. Gladstone's, it is probable that some points would have been better handed over to other speakers, or referred to other oppor- tunities ; since five or six hundred men are not to be brought to- gether in one place who possess the power of sustained attention. On the other hand, shortness of speech is not in itself a merit; and Members felt as much when they negatived Mr. Brotherton's proposal at the commencement of last session, and Mr. Wilkin- son's at its close, to curtail the length of speeches.

The time devoted: to motions and bills of private Members is nearly half of the session, in addition to the part which the same Members seize of the discussion devoted to measures of Govern- ment business. The time absorbed by these Members varies in- definitely. We have mentioned one who seldom does more than state a matter of fact or of explanation : Mr. Rallies Currie never rises except to make a few terse remarks, which materially affect the discussion in hand. Some Members are expected to rise on every important occasion, or believe that their silence is eloquent when they persist in sitting still.

It will be seen that attendance in Committees is very various. In some Committees it appears to be zealous and conscientious, in others it becomes almost a joke. The Sebastopol Committee— which although it was not in the last session, we include, on ac- count of its engrossing interest—presents a high scale of attend- ance in its members. The Chairman generally attends at every sitting ; but there are exceptions even to this. The Attorney- General for Ireland, who was Chairman of the Irish Court of Chancery Bills, attended seventeen times out of twenty-one days which the Committee sat. Mr. I. L. Ricardo moved for the Com- mittee of Contracts of Public Departments, but he took no part in the proceedings, because ill health compelled him even to move the Committee by proxy, and prevented him from attending throughout the whole session. The Committee of Public Pe-. titions sat fifty-seven days ; Mr. Bonham Carter sat every time ; Mr. Duncan, Mr. Brotherton, and Mr. Thornely, were usually by his side ; but the attendance of other Members descended to 15, 8, 4, and 3 times ; two members, Mr. De Vere and Mr. Abel Smith, attended each twice ; and Mr. Whit- bread's attendance was 0. In this case, evidently the effective Committee consisted of Mr. Bonham Carter Mr. Duncan, and Mr. Thornely, and perhaps Mr. Gregson, with occasional visits from the other Members. The Ecclesiastical Commission shows a high scale of attendance. In some cases the Committee consists effectively of the greater part of the Members who were appointed, in others of a few only. These facts would ap- pear to suggest the expediency, in many cases, of handing over Committee duties to a smaller number of MembZrs. In many cases it will be found that the Members who were absent come in at the

voting, settling the matter on foregone conclusions ; like a jury who could go hunting in the day, and come in after dinner to give the verdict on general principles.

I. VOTES OF MBE:REES IN TEB PPM MOST DISTLECTIVE

Divisauris OF SESSION 13856.

No. 1. Confidence in Ministers: Conduct of the War. Mr. Warm= moved, " That, while this House feels it to be its duty to express its admiration of the gallantry of the Turkish soldiery, and of the devotion of the British officers, at the siege of Kam it feels it to be equally a duty to express its conviction that the capitulation of that fortress, and the surrender of the army which defended it, thereby endangering the safety of the Asiatic Provinces of Turkey, were in a great measure owing to the want of foresight and energy on the part of her Ma- jesty's Administration."—May 1. For the above motion of censure, (including Tellers,) 178; against it, 305; Ministerial majority, 127. Absent, 168.

No. 2. National Education : Lord John Russell's Scheme. Lord Joan Russ= developed his plan in twelve resolutions. On the concluding night's debate, (April 11,) the House being in Committee, Lord John withdrew seven of the re- solutions, leaving five for decision, which sanctioned the principle of extending and revising the Minutes of the Committee of Privy Council, and the appoint- ment of Sub-Inspectors to ascertain the actual state of Education. The reso- lutions withdrawn related to the levying of a rate in aid of voluntary contribu- tions, appropriation of charities, and other points of practical detail. Mr. Ern- LEY moved as an amendment, " That the Chairman do now leave the chair." Practically, the debate comprised the entire scheme ; and the division may be taken thus—For Considering the scbeme, 160; against it, 262; majority against, 102. Absent, 229.

No. 3, Maynooth College : Withdrawal of the Endowment. Mr. Seooxxe. moved (June 25th) that his Bill be read a second time. The question that the Bill be ' now" read a second time was put and carried. For the motion, 176; against it, 170; majority in favour, 6. Absent, 305. (Further discussion was ad- journed, and at the next sitting the Bill was withdrawn.) No. 4. Church and State : Secularization of the Revenue-a of the Irish Church. Mr. Mum moved, " That this House do resolve itself into a Committee to con- sider the Temporalities of the Irish Church, and other pecuniary provisions made by law for religious teaching and worship in Ireland. —May 27. For the motion, 95; against it, 165; majority against, 70. Absent, 391.

No. 5. The Ballot. Mr. HENRY BERKELEY moved, " That leave be given to bring in a bill to protect the electors of Great Britain and Ireland, by taking the votes by way of ballot."—May 20. For the motion, 113; against it, 153 ; majority against, 40. Absent, 385.

Nora. Those Members who were elected in the course of the session are distin- guished by an asterisk. Mr. Walpole, Mr. G. Heathcote, and Mr. H. G. Sturt, merely exchanged one seat for another. Nottingham at the rising of the House was vacant, and Lord Castlerosse was waiting reelection, having accepted the office held by Lord Drumlanrig.
