A "G. J. Roberts" appears to have voted for Grant to the Duke of Clarence of the 18,000l. We think it cannot be the member for Wallingford. 2 "He that is not for us is against us;" therefore our readers will know the true import of the words "did not vote," to be rather positive than negative. The circumstance of not voting on the right side of a question is

Est. or Estab.

of Clarence.

T. T. Drake did not vote on the Grant f. D. W. T. Drake voted ag. it.

Aylesbury. Lord NUGENT. Voted f. the Qu.; f. Cath. Emanc.; f. rep. of taxes, and red. of Est. and Estab.; ag. Grant to D. of Clarence.

W. RICKFORD. Voted f. the Qu.; ag. Cath. Emanc.; f. rep., &c.; and f. red., &c.; voted ag. Grant to D. of Clarence. Both these gentlemen are very attentive to their duty.

Buckingham. Sir G. NUGENT, W. FREEMANTLE. Voted f. Cath. Emanc.; did not vote f. rep. of taxes, or red. of Est. or Estab. Sir G. Nugent voted f. Cath. Emanc.; and we believe the offence. Whether members vote on the other side, or keep away, is immaterial to the public. Let this always be borne in mind: When a ministerial representative wishes to keep well with his constituents, he does not attend or divide on a question, his decision upon which, according to habitual propensities, would offend them, and thereby hurt his interests. Even a placeholder manages generally to get leave not to divide on cases of this sort.—The advantage derived from this ruse de guerre is often very great. On a canvass, many of the electors ask no other question, than whether the candidate did or did not vote contrary to their wishes on such an occasion; the candidate satisfies them thus far, and they give him their support. But, farther, many members of good principles would, doubtless, vote as the public wish; but these gentlemen are in the habit of not attending the House to any practical purpose during the greater part of the Session. They appear on some great occasion, as they call it, and thus the vital interests of their constituents are sacrificed to views of private convenience. Mr. Welldressed is invited to a quadrille party at Lady Full-room's. He cuts Parliament, and is actually engaged in dancing the 8 bars in the Pastorale, while 100,000l. of the public money is being shamefully voted away for the BarrackBranch alone of the army expenditure. The next morning he is in the midst of a very agreeable dream about the charming Miss De la Gorge, while the whole country is indignantly exclaiming at the unchecked extravagance of ministers. But, suppose he neither dances nor dreams-if he stays away it is all the same to the pocket of poor John Bull. It is to be hoped, that Messrs. Hume and Creevey have roused some members of this class from their habitual absenteeship. The public, they will find, were long ago sick of the selfish tactics of the old Opposition, and expect real and hearty exertions in their cause they can dispense with studied speeches (however splendid), and require something more than mere field-day musters and occasional motions. They prefer Col. Davies to Mr. Tierney, and Sir F. Burdett and J. C. Hobhouse, to the whole Whig party.

We do not think it will be very much out of place to notice here, that on the second division on the question of the repeal of the Malt tax, 38 members who had voted for the repeal on the first division, were absent. Had they been present, their number, it is true, would not have been sufficient to have carried the repeal, but it would have reduced the ministerial majority from 97 to 59-an object, from its influence on the Cabinet, as well as on the public, quite of importance enough to have made their attendance valuable.'

1 We have faithfully copied, throughout, from the lists in Debrett's Debates, and the leading newspapers.

Mr. Freemantle too, but the latter's name does not appear on division. Sir G. Nugent did not vote at all on the Qu.'s question.

Emanc.; ag. the Qu.; ag. rep. of the Malt tax; ag. Grant to D. of Clarence, and we are happy to add f. most of Mr. Hume's motions; but he is a man (as Gibbon says of the Nobles of Imperial Rome,) "more tenacious of property than of freedom."

Dr. Phillimore did not vote on the question, but Dr. P. voted f. Lord A. Hamilton's motion on Barons of Exchequer in Scotland. Neither of these members voted f. rep. of taxes or f. red.1

1 We have heard that Dr. Phillimore is to be attacked in the house, for having stipulated that his professional pursuits are not to be sacrificed to attendance at the India Board. We do not think the acceptance of office on this condition reflects any discredit, either on Ministers or Dr. Phillimore. If the India Board be merely one of Mr. Canning's nurseries for young statesmen, the duties of a commissioner are not so heavy as to require either constant or exclusive attention.
