TOPICS OF THE DAY.

COMPARATIVE STRENGTH OF PARTIES IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.

ALTHOUGH the Duke of WELLINGTON may think that the functions of the House of Commons in the government of the country could be very well dispensed with, and that the Oli- garchy, by means of the Sovereign, could manage our affairs better without such a check, still he must submit to the neces- sity of bowing his stiff neck to the yoke of the National Re- presentatives, and be content to rule, if at all, in obedience to their will. Every attempt of the Peers to regain their former ascendancy, serves only to make manifest their essen- tial weakness. They can turn out a Minister, by underhand dealings with the Court; but they can only ibrm a "Provisional Government," during the temporary absence of their superiors in power if not ill rank. The events of the last fortnight have put this point beyond doubt. The Duke of WELLINGTON and his party are omnipotent in the House of Lords, and at Court; but still they are obliged to admit that all this availeth them nothing, so long as a majority of the House of Commons refuses obedience to the orders of the Commander in Chief.

The grand question at present is (in the words of the Standard) "how could an Administration go on with the present House of Commons?" The answer is, that such an Administration as the Standard's party can form, will not be able to "go on" at all with the present House of Commons, unless desertions from the Liberal ranks take place to the number of two hundred or thereabouts. The Duke, however, pretends to expect numerous recruits from the ranks of his opponents. The Standard of Tues- day said— We do not disguise it, that we expect ample support to the King and his Administration, even from among the _Reformers of thc present House of Com- mons. All who professed to support the Reform Bill as a final measure—and they were many—must support the King, and whatever Administration shall pursue a moderate course. All who advocated the Reform Bill as a Conserva- tive measure—and they were a numerous class—will adhere to the King and his Government, if that Government be patriotic. Now the great body, constituted from these two classes, and forming a considerable section of the house of Com- mons, acting through a session or two with the more declared friends of the Monarchy, would soon become incorporated with them ; and what is of more importance, perhaps, would thoroughly precipitate from them the Radical fac- tion who embraced Reform only as the beginning of revolution, and a step to a democratical republic."

Now we have gone carefully through the names of the Mem- bers of the House of Commons, and have divided them into three classes,-

1st, Those who may be relied upon under any circumstances to oppose the Duke;

2d, Those who will assuredly support him, if his Ministry be a decidedly Tory one; 3d, The Doubtful gentlemen.

In the first class we place all the Real Reformers—men who act from principle and are above mere party feeling ; all the Old 'Whigs; all who have recently acted with the MELBOURNE Admi-

nistration, and may expect to return to office with it,—for it should be remembered, that the extreme uncertainty of the dura-

tion of the Dictator's authority must indispose many timeservers to go over to him. Our present object is not, however, to scru- tinize motives, but to demonstrate the comparative strength of parties in the House of Commons. The following may, we think, be counted upon as sure opponents of a WELLINGTON and PEEL Administration.

The strength of the Anti-Reforming party, then, is only, one hundred and fifty-seven.

Jo the third class, we have put those who cannot be depended upon to vote uith or against the Duke on any pushing division. r'e d I not impute political profligacy to all of these gentlemen. s,ove of' them have acted with a species of wayward independence ol several occasions ; others are noted trimmers ; but none of tl.ers are to be depended upen at a time like this. It it is the Elscial duty of their several constituencies to put themselves in r ismunication with them, and compel them to "speak out." Agnew.

The result of this analysis gives for Opponents of the Duke's Ministry 443 Supporters of it 1.57 Doubtful 48 648 The 'vacancies occasioned by the death of Mem- bers and other causes, will make up the re- mainder 10 658 Now, upon looking over the list of Doubtful names, we think it sill be admitted that a party with so little chance of retaining rower as that which acknowledges the Duke for a leader, would be unwise to calculate on the adhesion of more than half—say 24. This would make the total Of the Anti-Reforming number 181 Of the Opponents of the Duke 467 Majority against the Duke 286 Is there any Tory or Anti-Reformer in existence so insane, as to suppose that he can break down such a majority as this— almost all of whom, it must be borne in mind by the late owners of Rotten Boroughs, now have constituents to look to? No per- son in his senses can maintain it. It is therefore vain to suppose that the Duke can "go on" with the present House of Commons. He must dissolve the Parliament, and trust to the reaction—such B he finds it in London, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, Birmingham, Halifax, Manchester, and the numerous other places, the bare mention of' which occupies so much room in our columns this week.
