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

Medal of Honour.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE
WEEK".

(Prom the Registrar• General's Report.)

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.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

The half-yearly inspection of the 51st Light Infantry
took place at Malta on Monday, the sth of November
inst. 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 platform, when 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.
