LONDON. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 20,

IN the first letter which he has addressed to his
constituents, Mr. J. S. Mo.!. has offered his co-
operation in a most important work. The good
government of the metropolis is the object for
which his assistance has been promised. This is,
indeed, a local question, and with mere local inte-
rests he stipulated at his election that he should
not be expected to concern himself. But it is a
local question of such magnitude, and the interests
involved are so intertwined with the credit of the
nation, that it may well form an exception to the
agreement between the Member for Westminster
and his constituents. In point of
with size alone, Lon-
don may challenge comparison European
States. It covers an extent of ground larger than
some German principalities, while in population it
would stand high in the list of the Teutonic king-
doms. It numbers two-thirds as many inhabitants
as Piedmont, when Piedmont was a power that
took part in the Russian war and in the Confer-
ence of Paris. But we may measure the greatness
of our metropolis by a standard nearer home.
London contains as large a population as all Soot-
land together. It is • city that includes • Glee-
gow, an Edinburgh, an Aberdeen, a Dundee, a
Greenock, a score or two of county towns,
hundreds of villages, the scattered inhabit-
ant* of rich' farming districts and of a
thousand broad drabs and glens. If we
think of its wealth we must raise our ideas still
higher, for it is the central mart of all the wealth
of the British empire. Or if we think of its dig-
nity we must confess its pre-eminence to every
other point in the globe, for it is the centre of that
Government which stretches its hands over great
empires in both hemisphere", and the fountain
from which have sprung the principle* of the
completest practical freedom hitherto realized by
the human race.

IDYLL PAGLANTS.
The Daily News contrasts the demonstrations of loyalty
sad personal affection which have been called forth by the
inauguration of the reign of Leopold 11. with the mute

sion of the visit of the Emperor Francis Joseph. Heaven
only know. how the work begun last Thursday at Path
may end, but unquestionably the relations of the kingdom
to the rest of the empire have been modified by the fact
that the King of Hungary is no longer a constitu-
timid monarch in Hungary and a paternal governor
everywhere else, but the heal of a constitutional empire.
The only question is, whether Hungary shall be brought
into relations of government to the other crown lands,
directly and in a manner which would enable her to exer-
cise all her just iolluenos, or indirectly, through the Vienna
ministry or in a parliament of the whole empire. The
Daily News earnestly trusts, for the sake of that noble
kingdom, and for the sake of a young constitutional empire
which needs the incorporation of those elements of political
life which abound in Hungary, that a spirit of wisdom may
Preside over the councils to which the Emperor's speech
forms so suspicions an introduction,
The Herald thinks that the conduct of the people of
Belgium is not only calculated to give the utmost satirise- I
tion to its friends, but that the behaviour and the language '
of the new King seem of happy omen. The speech after 11
taking the oath to the Constitution proves that he le a 1
man of great good sense himself, and trots himself to
exoellent advisers.
If a oomprocniee, the Telegraph says, between the pride
of the Kaisers and the unity of the empire on the one
hand, and the rights and resolves of Hungary on the
other, can be attained, then there may begin a new era for
Austria. Patti, hoping for such a reeult, is all alive with
banners and triumphal arches. Francis Joseph has gone
there, sod has Wilma his Hungarians in conciliatory
tonic The burgomaster has " trusted that all differences
would be arranged," and the Kaiser is response has de-
clared " I promised to return to you, and I come to fulfil
the promise, for I come fall of confidence." Thus with
