Yesterday 43 volunteers, who had volunteered to the St. Helena Regiment from the 3d Buffs, arrived at Chatham from Dover, in charge of Lieut. W. A. Daubeny and a party of non-commissioned officers.

PUBLICATIONS. (From the Money Markel Review.) In our impression of the 26th ult. we pointed out that the " reckless extravagance of the French Government would sooner or later bring about a crisis." It was observe I "If the French Government really wish to avert a crisis, there is but one measure that will completely and permanently obviate it—and that is a great reduction in their enormous expenditure, which is slowly but surely sapping the foundations of the prosperity of France, and paving the way for a crash. Ultimately, we have but little doubt, the present difficulties will be patched up by a State loan; but palliatives and expedients will not last for ever, and it is only by a disarmament that the evil can be permanently stayed, and real confidence inspired. On the 14th inst. the Noniteur announces that the deficit has reached the enormous amount of 1,000 millions of francs-- or, say £40,000,0,0 sterling ! Singularly enough, on this notification being made, the Rentes rose I per cent. ! Imagine our funds rising on an announcement by Mr. Gladstone of a deficit of £10,000,000 I The naturally evil effect of the news on ihe Bourse was entirely counteracted by the appointment of M. Fould as Minister of Finance, and by a solemn promise, made in a manifesto under the Emperor's own hand, that the system which has been marked by such profligate waste shall bo abandoned. The Emperor, in a letter to the Minister of State, acknowledges the necessity of confining the budget within " invariable limits ;" and says that " the only efficacious means to attain this end is to resolutely abandon the faculty which appertains to me of opening a fresh credit in the absence.of the Chambers."

The fresh credit system, doubtless, was one of the causes of the deficit, but not the only one.

Of course, this budget showed a surplus. French budgets always do—on paper. Yet a deficit of W,000,000 is now avowed. How did this arise, in the course, probably, of two or three years I' Mainly, as it would appear, because the huge item of expenditure classes as Services of the Ministers" was susceptible of indefinite expansion. Each Minister has had his separate budget. Each has had the power of obtaining from the Emperor such decrees for fresh " credits" as he asked for. The whole system is worthy of Russia, or of Turkey. It is a great merit, truly, for the Emperor to relinquish ,his privilege of authorising supplemental credits 1 He does not cast down the weapon until it is broken, Great Britain, vastly richer than Franco, is oppressed by a taxation amounting to £70,000,000 a year. Must not France reel under an expenditure of £80,000,000 ? True, we raise the money solely by taxation, whereas France re sorts to annual loans, even in time of peace ; but, in act ing thus, France but burns the candle at both ends. There is a limit both to taxation and to loan-raising, and that limit is being approached; 600,000 men in arms, and a fleet as ;large as our own—may be compatible with the glory of France, but they mean misery to the population. The future of the nation is king eaten up and consumed, and unless the Emperor acts upon the reckless maxim— " After me the Deluge"—his policy is incomprehensible. We are now asked to believe that all is to be reformed, that retrenchment is to be enforced, that the military and naval armaments are to be reduced, and that a real control, over the finances is to be delegated to the Legislature. We shall see. Distrust is the prevalent feeling in the English mind. We have had plenty of excellent assures ; we want deeds. When his sable Majesty (net he of France) was sick, says the old proverb, he made virtuous resolutions— with what result the proverb likewise records. The Em peror of the French is once more in want of money. Dulcet strains are accordingly heard. Peace, retrenchment, and moderation are the order of the day. His Majesty even makes an alteration in his clerks'—we beg pardon, his Ministers'—offices. What amount of sincerity there may may be in his professions time alone can show. Meanwhile, it is some consolation for our financial and commercial community to know that they may pursue their avocations for some time in full security that there will be no sound to impede the rush of investors to take part in the large loan which is doubtless about to be opened. The stock markets of Europe rejoice to know that the Emperor is under heavy recognisances to keep the peace. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. STIRE WSBURY AUTUMN RACES—WEDNESDAY.

Hope Johnstone, Commander-in- Chief at the Nore, to direct a careful look-out to be kept for the Resistance, 22, iron steam frigate. Im mediately on her arrival at the Nore every facility is to be given for her passage up the river to Chatham dockyard, where she is to complete fitting for sea. The Barossa, 21, 400-horse power, screw corvette, attached to the steam reserve at Chatham, got up steam at her moorings on Tuesday, for the purpose of trying the improved condensers, patented by Dr. Normanby, and recently fixed on board. The trial was made under the superintendence of the inventor and a number of the officials, and at its termination the results were stated to be eminently satisfactory. The result of the trials recently made on board Formidable, 84, flagship at the Nore, to test the merits of a three-light code of night signals, the in vention of Mr. E. Hawthorne, c3nnected with Sheerness dockyard, being highly satisfactory, and a very favourable report of the invention having been made to the authorities, an Admiralty order has been received at Sheerness dockyard, directing a return to be prepared of the probable cost of pro viding the necessary fitments for the adoption of the new code if supplied from the Government stores. The Edgai, 89, screw, Captain George P. Mends, refitting at Portsmouth, is under orders to be ready by the 30th inst. for proceeding to the Mediter ranean. None of her fittings as a flagship are to be removed until further orders. The Photon, 51, screw, Capt. E. Tatham, sailed from Spithead yesterday afternoon for the Gulf of Mexico, calling in at Plymouth Sound. In consequence of the representations made to the Admiralty by the directors of the Medway Steam packet Company at Chatham that the Government steamers have been in the habit of towing mer chant vessels up the river during the passage to Chatham on Admiralty business, a court of in quiry has been assembled, by order of the Admi ralty, under the presidency of Captain C. Wise, superintendent of Sheerness dockyard, and Aide de-Camp to the Queen, to investigate the charges. The Court having terminated its sitting has made its report to the Admiralty, the result of which has been that an order has been received for the suspen sion of Mr. Harvey, Master-Commander of the African steamer, one of the steamers against which complaint was lodged, pending their lordships' de cision on the subject. Mr. Harvey is an officer held in high estimation, and considering that he per formed the friendly acts out of kindness, and with out receiving any reward, much commiseration is felt towards him in his present situation. The undernamed gentlemen, Second Masters, were yesterday promoted to the rank of Master : —John S. Crompton, Andrew Farmer, John G. Mongan, John J. A. Gravener, W. J. Cunningham, George Stanley, Francis B. Christian, John W. Collinson, and John Phillips. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Edward F. Kirby, to the Cornwallis ; M. Baird, confirmed as second class assist.-engineer in the Shamrock ; and John It. Tayler, clerk, to the Nile, as supernumerary. THE ARMI. A General Order, with reference to the Staff exa mination to be held in 1862, signed by Sir I. Yorke Scarlett, Adjutant-General, has been received at Chatham garrison from the Horse Guards, from which the following is an extract : " With reference to paragraph 5 of the Staff College Re • gulations, published with the General Order, No. 786, dated April 24, 1861, officers of the army are hereby informed that the examination, in July, 1862, of candidates for ad mission to the Staff College will comprise the following portions of military history, &c.—viz., Campaigns of the Duke of Wellington in 1812, 1813, and 1814; campaigns of the Emperor Napoleon in 1812, 1813, and 1814; and the military topography of Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, and Russia. In studying the above campaigns candidates are recommended to avail themselves of every information that can be obtained of the objects, as well as of the details of the operations, from published orders, letters, and de spatches, in addition to the ordinary historios." The proposed augmentation in the Royal Regi ment of Artillery having, on the recommendation of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, re ceived the sanction of her Majesty, a redistribution of the three divisions stationed at Warley, Sheer ness, and Woolwich will shortly be effected, in order to establish a depot for the brigades serving in India. The first division, quartered at Sheerness, will be augmented at the end of the present month by a detachment of 100 gunners to be transferred from Warley,which latter station will be replenished by an equal number of recruits to be sent from head-quarters, Woolwich. A detachment of the Ist division of the Depot Brigade, Royal Artillery, consisting of 43 non-com missioned officers and gunners, under the command of Lieut. A. N. Pearse, has been dispatched from Sheerness to Shoeburyness for the purpose of going through a course of instruction in the Armstrong gun exercise and practice. As soon as the men of the detachment have completed their course of in struction they will be succeeded by an equal number from Sheerness,until the entire division have passed through their instruction in the theoretical and practical branches of rifled ordnance. Yesterday six non-commissioned officers left Sheerness for headquarters, Woolwich, to be put through a course of laboratory instruction. in consequence of the St, Helen Regiment being Yesterday a deputation from the several parishes on the south side of the River Thames waited upon Viscount Palmerston at his residence, Cambridge House, Piccadilly, to present to his lordship a peti tion in reference to the necessity of the embankment of the Thames on the south side being carried on simultaneously with that on the north. The deputation was a very numerous one, and consisted of the following members :—W. Williams, Esq., M.P., W. Roupell, Esq., M.P., A. R. Bristow, Esq., M.P., S. Brady, Esq., M.P., and A. H. Layar d, Esq., M.P.; and from the following parishes :—St. Mary, Lambeth—Fredk. Doulton, Esq., I. Doulton, Esq., sen., George Hill, Esq., Hugh Fenton, Esq., George Taylor, Esq., Robert Taylor, Esq., John W. Stratton, Esq., J. Stiff, Esq., J. Williams, Esq., J. Rhodes, Esq., Mr. Thomas Roffey, vestry clerk, and Mr. Hugh M'lntosh, surveyor of the vestry Parish of St. Mary, Newington—E. Dermer, Esq., member of the Metropolitan Board of Works ; J. Bone, Esq., and Mr. Henry Chester, vestry clerk. Parish of St. Giles, Camberwell—Ja mes Pew, Esq., member of the Metropolitan Board of Works; Henry Potter, Esq., Francis Herring, Esq., Al lum Fisher, Esq., Mr. G. Marsden, vestry clerk. and Mr. Reynolds, surveyor to the vestry. Parish of St. Saviour, Southwark—George Newman, Esq., Dr. Shea, H. Williams, Esq., and G. Sandeman Esq. Parishes of Wandsworth, Battersea, &c.— James Barringer, Esq., and J. Michael, Esq. The members forming the deputation met in the first instance at Fendall's Hotel, New Palace-yard, Frederick Doulton, Esq., in the chair, when the different points of the petition to be presented were discussed, and there was a singular and unanimous concurrence in its prayer. At half-past 11 o'clock the meeting broke up, and the party proceeded to the residence of the noble Premier in Piccadilly, where they arrived shortly before 12 o'clock. Lord PALMERSTON, having intimated that he was quite ready to receive the deputation, Mr. W. WILLIAMS, M.P. (addressing his lord ship), said he had the honour to introduce the mem bers of a deputation from the inhabitants living on the south side of the Thames, to present to his lord ship a petition in reference to the embankment of that portion of it which was on the north side, and it was their opinion, that unless some provision was made for an embankment on the south side that the evils which they at present suffered from flooding would be greatly aggravated. They therefore en treated his lordship's attention to the prayer of their petition. Mr. ROFFEY, vestry clerk, then read the follow ng petition : To the Right Hon. Viscount Palmerston, First Lord o: the Treasury. "The humble petition of the representatives from the parishes of St. Mary, Lambeth ; St. Mary, Newington ; St. Giles, Camberwell ; St. Saviour, Southwark ; Clapham Tooting, Graveney, Streatham ; St. Mary, Battersea ; Wandsworth, Putney,:and Roehampton, on the south side of the Metropolis. " Showeth, that your petitioners represent the several parishes before mentioned, containing a population of 1,652,420, and having property therein of the rateable value of £1,589,400. " That your petitioners are from experience deeply im pressed with the present defective physical and sanatory condition of the locality they represent, arising from its low. lying situation, and its liability to floods, and they learn with considerable alarm that that condition is likely to be aggravated by the bill now in the course of prepa ration by her Majesty's Government for the formation of an embankment on the north side, a work which, they are informed on good engineering authority, will tend to reflect the current to the other side, to undermine and otherwise injure the wharves and other waterside property, but above all will greatly increase the injury from floodings to which some districts are already subjected. " That in the opinion of your petitioners the only remedy for these evils is to extend to the south side the salutary protection of an embankment. "That your petitioners are informed that the cost of the proposed works is intended to bo defrayed out of duties levied on coal for the whole metropolis, to which fund they are, from the number of industrial establishments on the South side, very largo contributors, and from which they have hitherto derived little or no benefit whatever, and they entreat your lordship to prevent such an apportionment of a common fund as shall perpetuate that gross injustice. " That from the amount of river-side trade which will be displaced by constructing the northern embankment, a very large proportion of the northern heavy traffic will be thrown on the south side, while the means of communica tion adjacent to the river are not calculated for such an in crease, and that great injury and damage will therefor • occur to the inhabitants, unless some means are provided for improving the communication and providing suf f icient out lets for s Ich increased traffic. " Your petitioners, therefore, pray that your lordship will be pleased to direct that, in the preparation of the pro posed bill for the Thames embankment, a clause be inserted empowering the Metropolitan Board of Works to construct such a necessary protection on the south side, as far as pos sible simultaneously with the northern works, and that the cost thereof be directed to be defrayed out of the duties levied on coal within the metropolitan police district, or from such other sources as the Government may think ad visedly, so that the charge be extended over the whole me tropolis. And your petitioners will ever pray." The petition having been handed to his lordship, Mr. F. DOULTON said, his lordship would perceive that all the reasons which had been urged in favour of an embankment of the Thames on the south side side greatly exceeded those which had been urged in favour of the north side, and could be applied to it. The whole of the arguments which had been used on behalf of the embankment on the north side applied to the south side, with the exception of one, and that was, that they were not dependent upon an embankment of the river for a low level sower. One reason, however, which they wished to put prominently before his lordship was, that the inha bitants of the south side of the river were subject to frequent floods of a most dangerous character, in flicting annually great injury, attended by a vast lass of most valuable property ; and, above all, they caused great injury to their poor neighbours, and it was only those who lived in those localities who were at all aware of the extent to which their losses and inconvenience extended. The persons living on the southern side viewed the formation of an embank ment on the north side with alarm, for if it was made those evils of which they complained would not be diminished, but on the contrary would be considerably aggravated. That would not be the greatest of the evils to which they were to be sub jected, for they must look at the sanatory condition of the people on the southern side. Their evils, in the want of sanatory arrangements and comforts, would be increased by an embankment on the north side of the Thames and here he would beg his and the scrutiny of the House of Commons. They believed that Parliament would not object to the further continuance of that tax, as it was purely a metropolitan tax, to be applied to metropolitan pur poses. He therefore urged this subject upon his lord ship's attention, believing, if the coal tax was extended for a period of five years, that sufficient funds would be provided for the purpose of con structing a southern embankment. They presSed this question on his lordship's attention on two grounds—first, in a sanatory point of view, and secondly, as a matter of justice, seeing they :only sought the same advantages which had not been denied to the northern side of the metropolis. Mr. WILLIAMS, M.P., said he wished to remind his lordship that the Chief Commissioner of Works (the Hon. W. Cowper) had expressed himself favourable to an embankment on both sides of the river. His friend Mr. Doulton had stated that the manufacturers of Lambeth contributed annu ally £lO,OOO to the coal tax, and that extended over a period of ten years would be sufficient to make the embankment. In 10 years it would amount to £lOO,OOO, and that would go a great way towards meeting the cost of this great public work. Mr. DOULTON apologised to his lordship, and said that there was one point which he had omitted to refer to in the course of his observations. One por- tion of the prayer of the memorial was, that a clause should be inserted in the bill which was to be introduced by the Government next session, on the question of the northern embankment, to attain this object ; but if that was not thought advisable, as notices had been given by private individuals for the purpose of forming an embankment on the south side, perhaps the Government would take up the notices already given on this subject. Mr. LAYARD, M.P., said that if there was to be an embankm€ nt on the north side only, the south side would suffer much more from flooding than it did at the present time. Mr. WILLIAMS, M.P., said that would most assuredly. be the wise. Mr. BAADY, M.P., said from a knowledge of the locality he could bear his testimony to the state of the district. He had witnessed, not more than 100 yards from the river, houses with from four to five feet of water in their cellars, with vessels of all kinds floating about, and the people themselves in the most wretched condition. He considered that these poor people were greatly to be pitied, and his only surprise was that these evils had been allowed to exist so long. Lord PALMERSTON—There is a great deal of rea soning and argument in what you have said, and I can hardly imagine that anything else was contem plated than an embankment for both sides of the river, and especially so if an embankment on one side only is calculated to entail the inconveniences and evils which you have mentioned. I have heard a good deal of the inconvenience which has been suffered on the south side of the river, by the stop page of the streets on the shore, and by the water getting into cellars and offices, whilst at the Home Office, where frequent complaints were made to me; and, therefore, such inconveniences aro by no means a new state of things to me. I agree with you that we ought to look for some means to enable us to complete this embankment by embanking the river on both sides. There is no doubt that for the in terests of the inhabitants, it is more important:that the river should be embanked on the south side than on the north ; for the north is, to some extent, an embankment of itself, on account of the height of the ground. The only question as to the south is as to the method of doing so, and I should like to be informed whether you have any course to-pro pose, and also, whether you have made any calcu lation as to the expense of an embankment on the south side corresponding with that on the north. Mr. DOULTON—The corresponding embankment would cost about £200,000. Lord PALMERSTON—What is the extent of the northern embankment ? Mr. DOULTON—From Westminster to Black friars-bridge. Lord PALMERSTON—If the coal tax is extended for five years, will that supply funds to meet the ex pense of the southern embankment? Mr. DOULTON—If the coal tax is extended for five years we believe that sufficient funds will be obtained for that purpose. Lord PALMERSTON—What is the annual pro duce of the coal tax? Mr. W. WILLIAMS, M.P.—About L 170,000; but as the act of last session extends this tax for 10 years, I have made a higher calculation, as there is reason to believe that there will be a much larger consumption. My calculation is that a much larger sum will be received; and we are willing to submit to this tax , but if any furthersutmhatisarepqouritrieodn to f defray the expense, all we ask is, our own n NE m l o v n m e A y N m t a h y o b u g e h a t p p t r h o e p y r ioaut ought d h t t o to that a l t o o o k b j e t c h t. e difficulty in the face, and that the coal tax would not yield s ufficient in five years, but if the work was to be well done, the tax ought to be extended for 10 years. Mr. Doulton had alluded to the 14 manufacturers on the south side contributing £lO,OOO annually to the coal tax, but as they had 50 or 60 iron works on that side of the river, he could safely say that more than half that tax was paid by those living on the south side of the river. Lord PALMERSTON—These are matters of detail, but I may say that I entirely agree with you in the principle that it is desirable that an embank ment should be provided for the south side as well as the north, but how it should be done and when it should be done, we must leave that as a matter for inquiry. I will communicate with Mr. Cowper, of the Board of Works, to see how the matter stands, but I entirely agree with you that it ought to be carried out. The deputation, who were highly pleased at the result of their visit, thanked his lordship for the courtesy with which they had been received, and retired. The iron eased frigate Normandie made her first experimental trip off Cherbourg on Saturday, with perfect BUCCeSi.4, they have also materially contributed to - surgical science. The committee add :—" As a rule, the dam of cases treated at orthopcedie hospitals have never been considered as appropriate eases for treatment at the general hospitals, as is established by the fact that hardly a week passes without patients being received who have been sent from other hos pitals ; moreover, your committee are borne out in this opinion by the experience of the ten years this institution has been in operation, that the satisfac tory results they have had to record in the annual reports were in a great measure accomplished by the skilful application of mechanical contrivance% under the personal direction of the medical officers, who have to devote an amount of time to each case altogether . incompatible with the duties imposed on the' medical officers attached to the general hospi tals. As each case of deformity has its peculiarities, so also for its cure it has its special requirements. Being, therefore, amenable to no general rule of practice, deformities can only be successfully ma- naged by those whose acquirements embrace consi derable mechanical knowledge and tact, in addition to their general medical and surgical skill." The committee, in conclusion, appealed for aid to enable them to clear off the debt of £572 which rested upon them, and compelled them to disregard the claims of the afflicted beings who desired to become inpatients. The subscriptions announced in the course of the evening amounted to upwards of £6OO. THE ETHNOLOGICAL SOCIETY. The Ethnological Society commenced its sessions last evening under the presidency of Mr. J. Craw furd, who read a very highly practical paper " On the Connection between Ethnology and Physical Geography," in which he pointed out the constant relation met with in the barbarous or civilised con ditions of the races of man in proportion to the quality of the race and the physical character of tho country to which it belonged. Mere intemperance of climate was sufficient to prevent a race from mak ing any advance towards civilisation as was to be seen in the condition of the inhabitants of the Arctic and. Antarctic regions ; while some lands, such as Spitz bergen and Nova Zembla, seem incapable of supporting human life at all. The absence of moun tains and large rivers, and the obstacles presented by the great growth of forests, were exhibited in the characters of the effete Australians, and the tropical Andaman Islands exhibited a race of small abject savages, among the lowest in the world,while they were at no considerable distance, on the one hand, from the handsome and civilised Hindoos, and on the other from the well-fed and well-clothed Burmese. In the Southern Hemisphere New Zea land, with its fertile soil and high mountains, secu ring a perennial supply of water, presented inhabi tants that, of all wild races with whom the Euro peans had come into contact, showed themselves the most courageous and spirited, although they had sprung from the effeminate people of the intertro pical isles of the Pacific, a difference of character which could hardly have arisen from any other cause than that of a comparatively rigorous climate necessitating exertion. On the vast continent of America, possessed of many of the essential pro perties requisite for a high civilisation, the progress of civilisation had been arrested by the insuperable barrier presented by its great forests to the feeble efforts of savages. BO- its greatest defect was in being peopled by a race below even the negro of Africa in intellect and physical strength. The physical deficiencies of Africa are impressed in the debased condition of its inhabitants. The early ad vance of the Egyptians was consonant with the pe culiar fertility of their country, conferred by the floodings of the Nile, and so throughout every great region of the world examples were selected show ing the coincidences of the conditions of races with the geographical conditions of their locali ties. The dominant superiority of the European races was strongly shown in our subjugation of India and in the dictation of the Chinese Treaty by the Generals of a small English and French army to the lord of 400 millions of one of the most efficient of the Asiatic races. Of the effects of the physical geography of a country on a race, our own Wales and the Highlands of Scotland gavo prominent examples, for it is certain that if our whole land had been in the like state we never could have become the great, populous, and opulent people we are. The paper created a considerable discussion, there being no less than 13 speakers. Dr. Hunt also read a paper on the papers read be fore the Ethnological Section of the British Asso ciation at Manchester, in which he complained of the great paucity of good papers on that occasion. 14 new Fellows were elected, viz.:—Sir W. Clay, Sir J. T. Davies, Mr. J. Dickenson, Captain K. Erskine, Mr. C. H. Hox, Captain D. Galton, Mr. E. Lloyd, Lord Edward St. Maur, Mr. H. Paget, Mr. G. Pollard, Lieut. H. C. Rowcroft, Mr. S. R. Solly, Dr. Spence, and Mr. H. Sandwith, C.B. ANOTHER MILITARY MURDER. CORFU, Nov. 12. A shocking murder was committed here on the, 26th of last month. A. soldier of the Ist Battalion 9th Regiment, Private Chadwick, shot Corporal Donolian of the same regiment. It was a case very ' similar to that which occurred some time back at Aldershott, when a private soldier, who had a grudge against a non-commissioned officer, loaded his rifle, and shot him as he was sitting at a table reading. In this instance the unfortunate corporal was in his barrack room standing up on his bed, arranging some of his things in the rack which d is fixed above it, when Private Chadwick entered, and, without even raising the rifle to hisrs_h_ shoulder, discharged the contents into his side. ria after lin. vmur dererietimwas f N i v ra h m om ed a ia t t fi el r y st s secured, but fb recovery theovenruyn f N o v r e t r u e n ato en tertained, expired in the greatestago y Bering for two days in the hospital.ir r id crime was the The immediate cause of thi t s Chadwick had been sentenced treinnsubordinate conduct to manding his regim.entto be hoped that the prompt award of six days' confinemeenedtolbobyartrhaeckoffis, eteorwehoimeh. the corporal.
