ANALYSIS OF THE HOUSE OF

COMMONS.
The following has been handed to us as an accurate
analysis of the occupations and connections of the Mem-
bers of the present House of Commons as bearing upon
all questions of the Corn-laws, free trade, and, in short,
upon all monopoly and class legislation :--

It appears hence that as to connections, the members
of the aristocracy, including the Baronetage, &c., form a
clear majority of the whole House, their numbers being
343 ; while the commoners, not directly connected with
the privileged classes, number only 315. The land.
owners are not very much below two-thirds of the
House ; and if to them be added the Members connected
with monopolies, who may generally be expected to
make common cause with them in all questions affecting
the interests of either class, their united numbers are
445, leaving only 213 Members connected with the army,
navy, law, commerce, &c. The really commercial men,
can only be taken as 113 in number, if indeed it be
right to include all bankers in this category. If a con-
clusive judgment could be formed of the number from
this classitic Lion of its members, why, of course, it
would be hopeless to expect that any great measure of
commercial reform could be carried through the Com-
mons. But it is obvious that, as amongst noblemen's
sons and relatives are included several like Mr. Charles
Villiers of the great opponents of the Corn-laws, so
amongst the landowners there are many like Lord Pal-
merston, Mr. Mark Philips, and Mr. Milner Gibson, who
are also hostile to the present Corn-laws. And we may
hope, that amongst the members connected with mono-
polies, there are some who would by no means advocate
the retention of these monopolies, because clearly inju-
rious to the general interests of the community. How-
eve-, without undertaking to verify the analysis, or
seeking to attach more weight to its results than they
fairly possess, we give the table as it has been furnished
to us, as at all events an approximation to the real cha-
racter and constitution of the present Commons House
of Parliament.—Manchester Guardian.
