violability of treaties ; for ensuring the preservation
of European tranquillity ; for administering to the
necessities of our populous cities ; for fostering the
intellect of the British people, as well as advancing
the interests of British agriculture and British manu-
factures. That is a plcin catalogue of the acts ex-
pected from our Legislators in 1847. If any one of
those advantages be overlooked is the forthcoming
discussions, the Parliament will have neglected a
matter intimately associated with the happiness
and prosperity of the multitude. We do
not, of course, ourselves anticipate that so
much will be accomplished in a single session—
we cannot, indeed, anticipate the realisation of so
many magnificent boons within so short an interval.
Could these changes and modifications be effected
with such a facile rapidity, the labours of HERCULES
would be eclipsed. Something, nevertheless, must be
done in each of the particulars we have enumerated;
some distinct step must be taken for the realisation
of those national wishes. On the approach of
1848 the education of the people must not be
in its present neglected and lethargic state—
the peace of Europe must not tremble upon such
calamitous uncertainties—the population of Ireland
must not be in continual and imminent peril of
starvation and bankruptcy—the cities of Great
Britain must not continue to be polluted with the
odious sources of criminality and disease. None of
these wants must be left altogether unsatisfied, or the
Legislature will be responsible for the consequences
which will be inevitable from that procrastination.

We are not requiring miracles from the Govern-
ment—we are only requiring possibilities and neces-
sities. We do not expect the present Admin!stration,
within the limits of the next twelve months, to render
Ireland a land teeming with riches like a cornucopia—
to reduce the nations of the world to an eternal
quiescence with the Gorgon•shield of diplo-
macy— to transform our towns into paradises of
health and splendour. We should be insane
were we to do so. But we do unquestionably
expect active measures towards the attainment of
those golden advantages from the Government. We
do expect, that before the arrival of 1848, the deplor-
able ignorance, and the still more deplorable
immorality resulting from that ignorance, will
be in a fair way of being considerably abated by a
national system of education—we do expect that
before the arrival of 1848 the recurrence of forty-
seven deathA within one week in a single province of
Ireland will be impossible—we do expect that our
relations with foreign countries will be placed
upon a foundation of sufficient security to prevent
such compacts as the treaties of Vienna and Utrecht
being laughed to scorn, and their most solemn stipu-
lations violated—we do expect that before the arrival
of 1848, the mortality will give promise of an extra-
ordinary diminution in consequence of certain judi-
cious sanatory arrangements.
In the approaching session there will be no plau-
sible excuse for dilatoriness in the settlement of these
four questions. The Lords and the Commons will
not be enabled to demand any delay from the un-
expected character of the revelations. There will be
no longer that room for personality and
vituperation, which existed in 1846. Those,
who may indulge themselves in the utter-
ance of supplemental recriminations, will only
criminate themselves the more. One indisputable
excuse must, however, remain to the Ministers—the
multitude of reforms, each necessitating instant at-
tention. They are surrounded by applicants for
assistance in all directions, and consequently some
sort of hesitation is unavoidable. The landowners of
Ireland, the peasantry of Ireland, the manufacturers of
Ireland, the fishermen of Ireland, the municipalities of
Ireland, are all vociferous in demanding their extrication
from their difficulties. The number ofjuvenile offenders,
the prevalence of vice, the frequency of crime, the
populous condition of our penal colonies, the enormous
sums required annually for the administration of jus-
tice in our criminal courts, and for the maintenance
of our gaol establishments—all plead with a voice
that commands a hearing for that provision for the
social mind, which is, if possible, of more vital im-
portance than the nutrition of the social body. The
periodical recurrence of contagion in our towns and
cities, the pestilential atmosphere breathed by our
artizans and civilians, the noxious water imbibed by
so many thouands, the waste and the pestilence
resulting from our present system of sewerage, the
pernicious and irreligious results of the interment of
the dead within our places of habitation—all these
things impress upon the minds of our statesmen the
neces,ity there is for some novel and immediate
ianatory regulations. The uncertainty of our
understanding with the Cabinets of Continental
Europe, the trickstering which has deprived the Ibe-
rians of their independence, the shameful intimida•
tion employed towards Switzerland, and the ruinous
duplicity exercised towards Cracow and the Polish
dependencies, prove beyond all denial the
impossibility of preserving international tranquillity
without some decisive arrangement and some em-
ployment of diplomatic astuteness. Besides a mul-
titude of subordinate matters, there are four subjects
n quiring the most earnest attention of Parliament,
and the most assiduous support of her MAJESTY'S
Ministers :

1. The preservation of peace.
2. The improvement of Ireland.
3. The establishment of a system of nations'

education.
4. The passing of certain sanatory enactments.

The marked thanks of the community are due to
he authorities of the Horse Guards for removing,
even at the eleventh hour, the reproach that has so
long been attached to the British name. Yes, the
stain of ingratitude has been wiped away, and tardy
justice has, at length, been accorded to the veterans of
the Peninsula, whose gallant actions during a series of
heavy campaigns have immortalised the honour of the
English army, and preserved their native land from
the invasion of a hostile armament. The heroes, whose
indomitable courage sustained them on the sanguinary

gained by their illustrious General in the greater
number of his "hundred fights"—who have hitherto
been undecorated, save with the scars of honourable
wounds, the records of many a well-fought field—are,
at length, to receive the medal so richly deserved, and
hitherto so unaccountably withheld. The hoary-
headed survivor of these fierce encounters will be
enabled to point with an honest pride to the testimony
of his bravery, to the mark of distinction, which he
may now bear upon his gallant breast, which he will
estcem as his highest and most valued treasure, and
which will be handed down as an heir-loom in his
family, that his children's children may exult in the
glory, and regard with veneration the military honours
of their ancestor. Their country's renown will, in-
deed, be brought home to them, and become dear to
their hearts, when they see those near and dear to
them clothed in its brightness. Let it not be said
that the humble soldier is regardless of this badge of
merit, or that honours can only be appreciated by the
wealthy and the high born. The private soldier will
display his medal at his parish church, or in the
simple festivities of his native village, with as deep a
feeling of gratified ambition, as pure a delight as the
highest Peer will his star and garter. It confers on
him increased consideration, character, and importance
amongst his associates ; it elevates him in his own
estimation and that of those by whom he is sur-
rounded. It has been said, and we believe truly, that
the sale or loss of a Waterloo medal by any of those
on whom it was conferred is wholly unknown. We
doubt not that the same may be said of every other
medal bestowed for similar services. Can there be a

have preserved an unimpeachable character for a series
of years, and have efficiently discharged the duties of
their station, might be made in the highest degree
subservient to the maintenance of military discipline.
We are convinced that it would, in the majority of

instances, be more efficacious than the brutalizing and
degrading "cat." Teach your soldiers to respect
themselves, and you may be certain that they will
desire to obtain and preserve the respect of others,
and more particularly of their officers and comrades.
Satisfy them that every deserving, meritorious man,
who has resisted the temptations of vice, who has
steadily attended to his duties,. and has never been
punished for any breach of the regulations affecting
him either as a soldier or a citizen, will be sure to
receive his reward sooner or later, and you insure an
attempt to deserve it. All men will seek reward, and all
are disappointed when it is placed beyond their reach.
The fear of punishment may be insufficient to deter
a high-spirited young man from some reckless or
foolish act, but if he has for years laboured for the
rewards that await good conduct, he will hesitate be-
fore he endangers that for. which he has so long
toiled. Hitherto the chief, if not the only, motive to
good conduct has been of a negative character, viz.,
the punishment for bad. If he has sufficient skill to
avoid that punishment, which he may do by a little
caution and cunning, he is as well off as the most ex-
amplary of his comrades. This is not as it should
be; the introduction of the principle of rewards would
have the most beneficial efftct on the charac-
ter and conduct of the soldier. What acts
of bravery and devotion were occasioned
in the French army by the opportunity afforded to
the humblest of her soldiers of being ennobled for
some distinguished action, for some extraordinary
service, in the ranks of the " Legion of Honour," and
wearing its cross on his breast, in company with
the highest and noblest in the land. That association
did not degrade those distinguiseed personages, but
it elevated the soldier to whom it was granted; he
felt himself a different man after receiving this evi-
dence of his deserts, and his comrades, who knew
that they might attain a similar honour for equal
merit, were stimulated to the highest degree of
honourable emulation. NAPOLEON was a shrewd
judge of human nature, and he knew that a bit of
ribbon and some cheap ornament, that would confer
distinction on its wearer, would be more estimated
than a pecuniary recompense of many hundred times
its value ; and he was not mistaken. He was
idolized by his soldiers, who knew that they had
a leader who appreciated their conduct, and
conferred an immediate reward whenever it
was earned. He was aware that men fight
well when prompt rewards await upon daring deeds.
Why have we not been taught by the i:npressive
lesson thus afforded ? We hope to be shortly able to
record that something of the kir.d is introduced by
our military authorities. Already many ameliorations
have been sanctioned, and we have reason to know
that others of an important character are under con-
sideration at the Horse Guards. Of this the persons
on whom the responsibility of making the changes
is cast may be assured, that the public will gladly
sanction any expense in reason to promote the com-
forts, improve the condition, and increaFe the effi-
ciency of our military brethren.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
Remarking upon the late election of Lord Mayor,
we observed, " Should ever a reform of the Corpora-
tion of London take place, it will be urged on by the
fully of the Court of Aldermen." We had no idea
then that the denouement was so close at hand.
A conflict has already taken place between the
Court of Aldermen and the Court of Common
Council. The Common Council declare and insist
upon their right, as independent representatives of the
citizens, to originate and adopt such measures as shall
be to the honour of the City, and the advantage of
their constituents. The Aldermen, on the other hand,
protest against such a doctrine, and declare that all
matters brought before the Common Council must
originate in the Court of Aldermen, and be by them
recommended to the Common Council, before they can
be discussed.

If such be the law, then an irresponsible body,
elected for life, governs the City, controls the re-
venue ; the responsible representatives of the citizens
have no power—their boasted independence sinks into
a mere court of registry. Shall such things con-
tinue ?—can such things be admitted as reasonablt,
and consistent with the onward progress of the times
and the spirit of the age ?
We have taken much interest in the matter, and
have inquired into the cause of the extraordinary
scene which took place in the Common Council on
Thursday.

The " General Purposes" Committee was requested
to superintend the drawing up of a bill to define
clearly the qualification of freemen to become mem-
bers of the Common Council. The Finance Com-
mittee was requested to prepare a bill restraining the
Court of Aldermen from having any power over the
City purse, and giving the controlling power to the
Common Council, w hich consists of Lord Mayor,
Aldermen, and Commoners, in Common Council as-
sembled.

For the first bill the Aldermen care not a farthing,
but the second bill excites their dread. As a deter-
mined opposition to the second, after sanctioning the
first, would savour of selfishness, they have with
judgment chosen the first as their battle-field If
they successfully oppose that, on the ground that they
in all such measures must take the initiative, then
it will form a precedent for their opposing the latter.
Will such conduct be tolerated in these times ?
The election for Common Council takes place on
Monday, and constituencies should strengthen the
indepenient part of the Common Council by return-
ing only such representatives as will vote for a reform
of the Corporation, by making the Aldermen respon-
sible through periodical elections.

Intelligence has been received from Lisbon to the
10th December. This intelligence (brought by the
Queen steam-packet) by no means corroborates the
accounts of the successes of the QuEEN's troops IN hich
were brought by the Tagus. Instead of Colonel
LAPA having entered Coimbra and cut off the com••
munications between SA DA BANDEIRA, Bomrim, and
DAs ANTAS, it appears that the Colonel has not ad-
vanced further than Leira, and at the time the packet
sailed a rumour was current in Lisbon, and was
generally credited, that Colonel LAPA had been at-
tacked by BoMFIM and defeated. Some marines from
the blockading squadron of Oporto have landed at
Valenca de Minho, and taken possession of

it in the name of the QUEEN'S Govern-
ment. On the other hand, the forces of
the popular party have taken St. Übes, the Govern-
ment authorities of which town have taken refuge in
Lisbon. Troops had been dispatched from Lisbon to
strengthen Major ILHANO, and enable him, if possible,
to take St. Übes, thus, of course, weakening the
garrison of the capital, in the outskirts of which the
popular guerillas have appeared in considerable force,
and have destroyed the steam-boat wharf on the other
side of the Tagus, opposite to Lisbon.

Madrid papers of the 9th have arrived.
In the new Cortes the Progressistas will muster
strongly ; and, as a proof of their increasing popu-
larity, we may state that Senor MENDIZABAL, who
was a member of ESEARTERO'S last Cabinet, has not
only been returned for Madrid, but he has also been
elected at Santander, at Corunna, and at Seville.
Mr. COBDEN is at Barcelona.

We have received the Paris papers of Thursday.
The Journal des _Wats announces that in Cata-
lonia the Moderadoes had gained 17 elections, and
the Progressistas 11. Senor MENDIZABAL leaves
Paris for Madrid on Saturday, he having' been elected
to the Cortes as one of the Deputies for Madrid.
The Journal des Damts publishes, from the German
papers, what purports to be the official reply of Aus-
tria to the speeches made on the subject of Poland in
the British Houses of Parliament and the French
Chamber of Deputies during the course of last session.
This reply is merely a repetition of the allegations put
forth in the recently published manifesto. It alleges
no new fact, and brings forward no new argument.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
only 4,000 to 5,000 bales, and prices again with
a downward tendency. The sales of the week
are 110,360 bales, while the average weekly
consumption of Great Britain is under 30,000 bales.
The stock is 418,000 bales, against 910,000 hales at this
time last year. The advance this week is about id. per
lb. in America, and 7} d. to id. in other sorts. Shares
again rather tended upwards yesterday.
