THE PARLIAMENTARY SPEECHIFICATION TABLE, FOR THE WHOLE SESSION 1833.

THE readers of the Spectator may perhaps remember, that in the first quarter of the last session of Parliament, we presented them with a Speechification-table, or a tabular view of the number of times each Member of the House of Commons had spoken, and how many columns and lines in the Mirror of Parliament (in other words, how much of the House's time) his speeches occupied. Our object in so doing at that time, was to disprove a Conservative misrepresentation, that it was owing to the operation of the Re- form Bill that so many and so long speeches were made, the Members returned by the newly-enfranchised boroughs being the great talkers. The table proved how completely the Conservatives were in the wrong, and enabled us to put the saddle on the right horse—to convict the old Members, the real offenders, of the sin of much talking. We have since caused this table to be completed ; and it now comprises an account of all the speechification of the session, as we find it recorded in our text-book, the Mirror of Parliament.

Here it is.

From this document it appears, that there were 11,709 speeches made, which occupy 5,094 columns of the Mirror, each column containing 90 lines. Lord ALTHORP, the Leader of the House, has made the greatest number of speeches; but Mr. O'CoNNELL takes up the most room,—having, however, the advantage of his Lordship in this respeet by only one column. The greatest talkers, sf.er the two just mentioned, were Mr. HUME, Mr. COBBETT, Mr. STANLEY, Sir ROBERT PEEL, Sir ROBERT INGLIS, Mr. SPRING RICE, Mr. WYNNE, Mr. SHAW, Mr. O'DWYER, Mr. WARBURTON, Mr. POULETT THOMSON, and Sir JOHN CAMPBELL. With the exception of Messrs. COBBETT and O'DWYER, it will be seen that they are all old Members, and would have had seats in Parliament had the Reform Bill been rejected. The Scotch Members appear to have been very silent—cannie and cautious. Mr. ROBERT WALLACE, with his forty-three speeches, takes the lead among them. Opposite the venerable and once famous name of FRANCIS JEFFREY, we find only 7 columns 88 lines, reporter's allowance for thirty-six speeches. Mr. W. TURNER, the luminary of Black- burn, contrived to get all he had to say in the course of the ses- sion into two lines; and Mr. R. WATSON, of Canterbury, was con- tent with four. It is, doubtless, matter for regret, that by far the greater number of their spouting brethren were not equally dis- creet. We hope that at the close of the ensuing session we may have to record an improvement in this respect. Out of the eleven thousand and odd speeches delivered, it is not illiberal to calculate that at least ten thousand were not worth delivering or hearing.
