THE FRENCH FLOATING BATTERIES. In The Sun, of yesterday we noticed the appear ance of an interesting article in the Moniteur on the floating batteries. The following is the text of the article : " The reports of Admiral Bruat on the attack of Kin bourn have pointed out the powerful effect of the float- Some journals have already excited pub ing batteries. lic curiosity by describing the particularities of their construction, but they have not made known the in venter of this new arm. It will be heard with pleasure that they are due to the initiative of the Emperor. " When, at the commencement of the war, the for midable fleets of England and France set sail for the Black Sea and the Baltic, persons little initiated in the elements of naval war thought that these fleets would, in the twinkling of an eye, destroy all the Russian for tresses. The Emperor, to whom his studies on gunnery had rendered these questions familiar, was not deceived in the matter, and he felt persuaded that if the Russian fleets, not daring to come out and give battle on the open sea, took refuge behind the fortifications which had been constructed during a time of peace at enormous expense, the Allied fleets could scarcely attempt anything against their walls. He even insisted, in a note which he sent to the Minister of Marine, that the Admirals should use the greatest prudence in engaging their fine and numerous ships ; for, said he, in war the chances should be equal. An 80-gun ship carrying 1,200 men, and the construction of which had cost years of time and millions of money to the State, should not be hazarded against a wall of little value, armed with a few guns, and served by a small number of men. The first campaign confirming these provisions, the Emperor sought for the means of creating what may be called a siege fleet, the ordinary fleet being only made to engage with ships." On these data let us proceed to a few details : " A line-of-battle ship of 100 guns of large calibre, and a squadron which carries thousands of them, produce very prompt and decisive effects against adversaries of the same nature, but it is not the same against fortifica tions in masonry or in earth, because in that case one of the two combatants is much more vulnerable than the other, bei.ng alone exposed to the danger of sinking. The land forts throw balls against ships which pass through their sides, carry away their masts, and scatter about splinters of wood and iron which kill and wound a greater number of men than the projectiles themselves. Red-hot shot produce different but even more dang-r• ous effects. If they lodge in the sides, they gradually ignite the timber, and, unless prompt attention be paid, occasion a fire which compels the abandonment of the vessel. Some balls of this kind reached one of the French line-of-battle ships at the time of the can nonade of Odessa, and did considerable damage. It must also be added that the fire of cannon on shore placed on solid platforms must be more just than on board a vessel agitated by the sea ; that the line-of-battle ship presents a large target fur the fire of the battery, and that her draft of water will not generally allow her to place herself in whatever position may be wished. " But what has rendered the artillery of forts still more formidable, is the invention which has rendered illustrious the name of General Paixhans, and which con sists in throwing horizontally, and with as much preci sion as solid shot, hollow projectiles of large calibre, one of which only, in lodging in the side of the vessel, jus t between wind and water, may, in bursting, produce a leak which it will be found impossible to close ; one of these projectiles may, therefore, be sufficient to sink a line-of-battle ship. The same effect is not produced by an ordinary cannon ball passing through the side ; the fibres ef the wood againsglose, and only leave an opening for the water, which can be readily plugged. " Before this discovery of General Paixhans, these shells were only thrown vertically, and although they mirgh,t by falling on a vessel make their way through the decks, yet the uncertainty of their fire rendered them in reality not. very formidable. "The principal object which the Emperor had in view was to find a means of constructing vessels at a less ex pense, which could• be built with greater expedition than a large vessel, draw less water, and consequently ap proach nearer the shore ; and baying their sides covered with a thick coat of iron, the hollow shot fired at them from the Paixhans' guns would break like glass against them. The original idea, therefore, was not to render a vessel invulnerable, but to counteract the effects of the invention of General Paixhans. " Impressed with this idea, the Emperor ordered ex periments to be made, which were tried in his presence at Vincennes. Panels of wood, representing a section of the side of a ship, were erected, and covered with plates of iron of different thicknesses. Guns of large calibre were placed at a short distance, and the effect of their fire allowed a calculation to be made as to the thick ness of the iron sheathing required, which, without en cumbering the vessel too much by its weight, would pro tect her sides against these hollow shot. The experi ments showed that the iron sheathing also resisted more solid shot than would be likely to strike it during a long engagement. This fact being determined, the Emperor commenced the planning of a special vessel accotding to the following programme : one tier of guns light draw ht of water, not very high above the water-line, and effec tual protection against every kind of projectile. Sailing qualities were obliged to be sacrificed to the particular object in view, and the Emperor gave to this new engine of war the name of 'floating-battery,' in order to show that it was not a vessel made like any other, to pursue or avoid the enemy, but a real siege battery, to ener getically, and for a long time contend against fortifica tions considered by the enemy as unattackable by sea. " On the French naval engineers being consulted, they readily comprehended the proposed plan, which was promptly decided on. The fl Jating-hattery could only Le mated in such a way that the masts could be entirely lowered before going into action, and a steam-screw which would allow of its taking up its proper position without other assistance. "The 'floating battery' has the great attribute of practical and important inventions, that it is the right thing at the required time. Not only does the screw give it a facility of handling without which such a veseel would be almost useless, but the plates of iron which cover it could never have been properly fashioned and forged if our foundries Lad not been furnished with those enormous hammers which steam at the present day go verns with a power and facility that is perfect:y astound ing. It is unnessary to dwell on the fabrication of these plates, and other details of construction, and other ad vances in mechanical science, which, we may safely say, Russia, reduced to her own resources, cannot for many years successfully rival. "As soon as the first experiments of the firing had confirmed the ideas on which this new invention was based, and even before the plan was fully decided on, the Emperor eagerly communicated his views to our faithful and great ally. Competent persons, men of knowledge and experience, at first felt some surprise, for the question was regarded as one that could not be solved ; but experiments on the effect of the fire havicg been made, fully confirmed the result which had been obtained in France. The two Governments then agreed ' to build a certain number of those floating batteries, which have just ma d e the i r f i rst trial at Kin - burn. The projectiles which struck them, notwithstanding their size, could neither pass through nor dage therr and they 5000 opened practicable breaches in the . stove walls. Thus, not on l y have the floating batteries, as the Emperor wished, neutralised the formidahle props r ties of the Paixans' shot, which produced such li d k irAtr t oUs effects Sinope, but the experience . of have proved twhaatr,th , the ex periments at Vincennes, tit round shot. Our navy, and that of our ey es'nule. are nOW acquainted with the properties of these allies, who niac !,i nes , will know how to turn them to a good ac count. count. The Emperor had before that furnished France with a description of artillery which performed a very material part in the victories of the Alma, of Inkermati, and of Traktir ; he has now endowed the navy with an arm which has only just made its appearance, and of which the future career will prove the power."

THE S N, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVEININO, NOVEMBER 14 1855 THE PARIS EXHIBITION. The Moniteur publishes the following report to the Emperor, relative to the recompences to be awarded at the Universal Exhibition : " Sire, —The labours of the international jury are ter minated, and those of the Council of Presidents, in order to become definitive, only wait to be ratified by a de cree, completing that of the 3d October last, relative to the denominations of recompen ces. In their partial labours the twenty-seven classes of the international jury (section of Agriculture and Industry) have not all adopted the same plan for deciding on the relative claims of the exhibitors, and particularly for distinguishing the exceptional merits susceptible of receiving the individual Grand Medal of Honour, and the general one of manu facturers, placed together in the first rank, and conse quently having a right to a part in a collective medal of honour. In order to remove these divergences, and re establish, as much as possible, a unity in the decisions of the jury, the Council of Presidents was compelled to enter into a very strict examination. After a first examination of the propositions of the classes, and after the rejection of a certain number, and the provisional consideration of others, the council appointed a com mittee from among its own members to prepare the re vision and the definitive vote. The task of this com mittee was traced out beforehand by the very decision which had constituted it ; to support the rights of the council, and to direct the exercise of them, according to the spirit of the decrees, and, at the same time, to ratify as much as possible the result of the examination of the classes, which it was too late to have recommenced, the majority of the members of the jury having left Paris. The obligations, apparently con tradictory, imposed on the committee, have been hap pily reconciled by it in the work which it has submitted to the Council of Presidents, and which the latter has adopted, subject to the signature by your Majesty of a decree regularising some special arrangements. In the first place the Commission and the Council entered on a strict revision of the propositions of the classes conform ably to the rules laid down by the decree of the 10th of May, 1855, and have brought back to the medal of the Ist class, the value of which they have also increased, about 200 persons who had been at first designated to receive the medal of honour. The Council afterwards formed two categories in the medal of honour, receiving the first under the title of grand medal of honour to ex ceptional merit, and granting the second, the medal of honour, for services, which although very important do not bear to the same degree as the first, the imprint of a great spirit of invention or of a great benefit ren dered. This combination therefore allows the collec tive medals to be rendered personal, and the restriction of the too general and extensive use, which several classes of the jury wished to make, of that kind of re compence, in order to avoid the difficulty of deciding be tween almost equal merits. By this system, the only collective medals which exist in virtue of the decree of the 3d October, are all anonymous, and granted to in dustrial centres or groups, in order to mark a great and incontestible superiority. All the other medals are per sonal, and the persons who obtain them, may use them in order to specially recommend their productions. If your Majesty approves of the motives which have in fluenced the Council of Presidents, Art. 1 of the decree of May 10, 1855, and Art. 2 of that of Oct. 3, wi;l be modified in this sense, that there will be two medals of honour—the grand medal and the medal ; both one and the other will be in gold, the former 59 millimetres (somewhat over 2 inches) in size, and the latter 45 milli metres (an inch and three-quarters), and then will fol low in rotation the let Class Medal, the 2d Class Medal, an i the Honourab!e'Mention. The doubling of the medal of honour does not in any degree lower the value of the other recompences, and particularly of the Ist class medal, which, by reason of the universality of the competition, possesses in the eyes of the jury the precise relative val ne of the old gold medals of the National Exhibitions. What must on this subject convince every mind and satisfy every interest is, that the Council of Presidents has not adopted the plan of making two medals of honour, in order to render the smaller size accessible to a greater number of exhibitors, hut only to classify between them those who bare preserved it after a revision, which has brought back into the category of Ist class medals more than two hundred eminent manufacturers who had been at first designated for the collective medal. I have the honour to submit to your Majesty the following decree. —Accept, sire, &c., "NAPOLEON BONAPARTE." The report is followed by au Imperial decree, which runs thus : "Napoleon, by the grace of God and the national will, Emperor of the French, to all whom these presents may concern, greeting : "Considering Art. 59 of the decree of the 6th April, 1854 ; "Considering Art. 1 of the decree of May 10, 1855, and Arts. 2 and 3 of the decree of the 3d October, 1855; "On the proposition of the President of the Imperial Commission and of the Council of Presidents and Vice- Presiden ts, " Have decreed and do decree as follows : " Art. 1. The exhibitors of agriculture and industry, or the industrial groups and centres to which they be long, as well as the agricultural or manufacturing co operators who shall have been proposed for the Grand Medal of Honour by one of the classes of the jury, with the approbation of the group of which each class forms part, may receive from the Council of Presidents and Vice• Presidents the Grand Medal of Honour or the Medal of Honour. "Art. 2. The Collective Medal of Honour awarded to industrial groups or centres shall be completely ano nymous, and no one person in particular can attribute to himself the merit of it. "Art. 3. The clauses of the decrees of May 10 and Oct. 3, 1355, which are not modified by the present, will have their full and entire effect. "Art. 4. Our well-beloved Cousin, Prince Napoleon, President of the Imperial Commission and of the Council of Presidents and Vice-Presidents, our Minister of State, and our Minister of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public Works are charged, each as far a:it they are concerned, with the execution of the present decree.

The mortality cf London shows a tendency to in crease, but it continues much below the rate which is usually found to prevail in the beginning of November. Last week the deaths of 936 persons—viz., 473 males and 513 females—were registered. The daily average number was 141, which is less by 21 than the average rate of mortality in the corresponding weeks of the last ten years would have produced ; but it also exceeds by 21 the number that occurs daily in tha healthy districts of England. Cholera was fatal in only two cases, and in both to infants, one of whom died of " cholera infantum," and the other of " choleraic diarrhoea." Scarlatina destroyed 61 lives, and several districts have suffered from it se verely. Three children died from this complaint last week in St. John's, Paddington, and one of the medical men states that "it is making great havoc in the district, and sanitary measures should be taken by the local authorities." In St. Pancras it was fatal in 7 cases ; and the medical attendant of a case in Somers Town writes :—" The great increase of scarlatina and typhus in my neighbourhood requires immediate attention, and it is neeessary, I think, that a sanitary committee for the district should be appointed." Judging from the num ber of deaths, the disease seems to be very prevalent in Shoreditch and Cripplegate. One person died from exposure to cold ; and a woman, aged about 55 years, was found in a state of destitution, and, having been conveyed to the Greenwich work house, died on the 7th of November, 24 hours after ad mission. Last week the births of 896 boys and 818 girls, in all 1,714 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1845 54 the average number was 1,465. There was a new moon on Friday, the 9th ; the barn meter _rose to 30.08 in. by 9h. a.m. on the sth. The mean reading of the week was 29.751 in. The highest reading of the thermometer in the week was 58 deg., on Tuesday. The lowest occurred on the previous day, and was 31.2 deg. The mean temperature of the week was 46 deg., which is one degree higher than the average of the same week. On Sunday and Monday the air was cold : afterwards the mean temperature was more or less above the average. The mean dew-point tem perature was 43.3 deg., and the difference between it and the air temperature was 2.7 deg. The temperature ,of the Thames was 44 deg. After Monday the wind blew from the south. Rain fell to the amount of 0.33 in., the greater part of which fell on Thursday. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS. NUMBER OF DEATHS FROM ALL CAUSES REGISTERED - IN THE WEEK ENDING SATURDAY, NOV. 10.

The regiment, in complete heavy marching order, was formed in open column in the Parade Florianna, at ' a quarter before 10 o'clock a.m , soon after which Lieut.- General Sir J. Pennefather, K.C.8., and st.lff rode up, and the General minutely inspected each company, com menting favourably upon the manly appearance and bearing of the men. This inspection over the battalion wheeled into line and was put through the manual and platoon exercise by the major, as usual, acd then, being divided into wings, each wing was put through the pla toon exercise by the two senior captains present. The • corps was then exercised in a variety of battalion evolu tions by different officers, after which, from quarter dis tance column the battalion was ordered to cover the front of a brigade, which movement was followed by a variety of light infantry movements, the intelligence of officers and men being tested in rapid change of forma tion by bugle sound. These movements were concluded by the whole regiment being extended in skirmishing order. The alarm and assembly then sounded, when the whole line ran in rapidly to a point indicated and formed a rallying square, upon which the General rode up and expressed to Lieutenant-Colonel Errington, officers, and men his marked approbation of what he had seen. He observed, " That he had experienced great pleasure in witnessing the fine appearance and high state of discipline of the regiment, that all the manoeuvres were admirably executed, and gave him strong assurance of what great value and importance such a regiment would now be in the field." Both officers and men of the King's Own Light In fantry are much disappointed at not proceeding to the seat of war, which they-have been daily expecting to do ; it now seems to be their fate to pass the winter encamped at Malta. The regiment is healthy. The screw block ship Edinburgh, 58, Captain Hew lett, returned to Portsmouth yesterday from the Baltic, and awaits further orders at Spithead. The Royal yachts Fairy and Elfin, Masters-commanding Welsh and A. Balliston, the steam gun-boat Pincher, and the Co met, steam-vessel, went out of harbour at Portsmouth yesterday, the three former to try their engines after re pairing defects ; they returned to harbour afterwards. The steam-transport Great Britain, Captain Gray, is alongside Portsmouth dockyard, preparing for the recep tion of 48 officers, and 1,350 men of the British Swiss Legion, whom she will embark on Friday next for the Crimea. The screw block-ship Hawke, 60, Captain Otnrnanney, having reprired her defects, will go to Spit head and await orders for further movements on Thurs day. The Swinger, gun-boat, was docked yesterday to repair defects. The steam transport Bahiana, left Ports mouth on the night of Monday for Deptford to discharge stores. The steam-transports Niagara and Negotiator went into Portsmouth harbour yesterday to prepare for further service. The steam-sloop Polyphemus, 5, Com mander Warren, is ready for the trial of her machinery, and is otherwise fast fitting out for sea-service at Ports mouth. The Shannon, 50, screw-frigate, will be launched at Portsmouth on the 24th inst. The Samp son, 6, paddle-frigate, Captain Hand, will be ready for trial' by the end of this month, and nearly ready for'-ea. Her Majestey's steamer Caradoc, Lieutenant Chandos Stanhope commanding, sailed yesterday morning from Woolwich for Portsmouth and Marseilles. The uP hol- story fittings of the saloon were not completed when the Caradoc left Woolwich, and to prevent her further detection there the workmen were kept on board so as to terminate their contract before the ship finally puts to sea. A considerable number of live shells has been re moved from the arsenal at Woolwich to Tilbury Fort, in barges containing from 600 to 800 each, in conse quence of the crowded state of the store-rooms at the former place. A number of casks containing purified coal-tar for dressing asphalted felt for the tops of huts in tho Crimea are lying on the quay ready for embarkation from Woolwich. For several days past there has been no transport at the arsenal moorings, consequently the ordnance and other stores have increased to an extraor dinary amount. Some specimens of cartridges composed of the Waltham abbey powder have been received at Woolwich, and have been satisfactorily proved as pos sessing more than the ordinary strength. A detachment, consisting of 1 sergeant, 1 corporal, and 11 privates has returned to head-quarters at the Royal Engineers' barracks at Woolwich from the Royal Military College at Sandhurst. To-morrow a detachment of 50 men of the Royal Sappers and Miners corps will proceed to Chatham for the purpose of being instructed in field fortifications, &c., under Colonel Sandharn. A mortar raft is being built in the dockyard at Wool wich, whicn will be so constructed as to float on four pontoons. The pontoons will serve as a powder maga zine and general store. As this raft, with its heavy and destructive mortar will be able to float in three feet of water, it will be, doubtless, the first of many more of the same species. Her Majesty's steam gun-boat the Hind was got off the beach at Cley, Norfolk, on Sunday evening without material damage to the vessel or machinery, and was towed away by the Lizard steam-tender. We are informed that the Waterwitch was not weighed by lighters in Sheerness basin, but that she was floated by the shipwrights on Sunday last without the assistance of lighters or vessels of any kind. On Tuesday a detachment of men from the 4th, 20th, 28th, 48th, 77th, and 95th Regiments arrived at Fort Pitt Hospital from their &pots, Isle of Wight, and, after an inspection ,by Mr. R. Battersby, proceeded to St. Mary's Barracks. These men will be discharged, some from sickness, others from length of service ; 10 of the above were admitted into hospital. One of the most distressing cases at present in St. Mary's Barracks is that of W. Boice, 34th Regiment, who, while digging in the trenches before Sebastopol, was struck by a round shot which fractured both wrists; both arms were amputated a little below the elbow. He was fitted a few days since with false stumps from Fort Pitt. Thirty convalescents have quitted the hospital for St. Mary's Barracks. The Horatio, 8, screw steam-ship, Captain the Hon. Arthur A. Cochrane, C. 8., was taken into the fitting basin at Sheerness yesterday, to make good defects. Commander Arthur Tower, 3d of July, 1854, took up his commission and joined the Phoenix, 6, screw steam sloop, at Sheerness, yesterday. The Phoenix is ordered to snake good all essentially necessary repairs and de fects, in order to he ready for immediate service. In consequence of the Pelter gun-boat breaking down, the Myrtle steam-vessel took the Pelter and the Ruby gun-boats in tow, from Sheerness for Deptford, on Moe day. The Gleaner, gun-boat, Lieut. A. G. Bogle, from the Baltic, is ordered to make good temporary defects and proceed to Plymouth. She will be ready to leave Sheer ness on Thursday. The gut-boat Snap, Lieut. Charles A. Wise, left She, rness on Monday for Plymouth. The Eurot,as, screw mortar-ship, is ordered to be ready for commission in one month from the present time. Yesterday detachments from the 16th, 18th, and other regiments stationed at Preston arrived in Liver pool, for the purpose of having several weeks of ball practice on the New Brighton shore before embarking for the Crimea. A mortar-boat of about 100 tons was launched yester day from Mr. Laird's yard, at Liverpool. She drew, when afloat, about three feet. The mortar bed is in the centre of the vessel. She is fitted with one mast, and altogether presents an appearance of great solidity ; the time occupied in her constriction wa4 only three weeks. When launched the English and French flags were flying on board of her. On Monday morning draughts of the following re2,i meats were conveyed to Queenstown, to embark in the transport Golconda, for conveyance to the Crimea:- Ist (Royal.), 30th, 33d, 49th, 80th, 68th, numbering in all 20 officers, and 800 rank and file. Draughts of the 62d, 82d, and 00th Regiments, con sisting of 3 officers and 235 rank and file, arrived in Cork on Monday from Buttevant for departure in the same transport. Previously to the departure of the above draughts the total strength of Cork garrison amounted to 64 of:Joey, 114 non-commissioned officer, and 1,446 men. DEPARTTIRE OF THE MEDICAL STAFF CORPS.--Yes terday morning, at ten o'clock, a considerable number I of men, acclmpanied by their wives and families, the former belonging to the newly-formed Medical Staff Corps, arrived at the Waterloo terminus of the London and South-Western Railway, in order to proceed to Southampton, and there to embark for the hospital at Scutari. It was at first believed that the wives were to be allowed to accompany their husbands, but upon ar riving at the terminus it was found that such was not the case, when'a pitiable scene took place ; the w,,men and children began to cry, and it was with great diffi culty that they could be removed from the doors of the carriages. The parties were, however, after much trou ble, taken off the platf orm , w h en the train departed, the men being vociferously cheered by those at the sta tion. The arrangements at the terminus were ably car ried out by Mr. Young, the superintendent, and chief inspectors Norwood and Bent.
