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
dis
fixed above it, when Private Chadwick entered,
and, without even raising the rifle to hisrs_h_ shoulder,
discharged the contents into his side. ria

THE SUN.

LONDON, THURSDAY, NOV. 21, 1861.

M. FOULD is, of course, the man of the hour in
France—he stands at the Treasury of France in
regard to Finance, much as M'CLELLAN does by
the Potomac in regard to Secession—all eyes turn
to him. Whether his financial genius can effect
more than the military genius of the American,
remains to be seen. Both seem to be estopped
from action by the doings of their predecessors;
As the soldier finds that BUCHANAN and LINCOLN
between them allowed Secession to arm to an
extent, which compels the General to be content
with holding his own ; so M. FOULD may find,
that the ten years of Imperial extravagance, and
the shape that extravagance has taken, will com-
pletely checkmate him.
Where shall he begin his reductions P What-
ever branch of expenditure he selects, he will raise
up a formidable host of malcontents. Possibly
disbandment of eighty or a hundred thousand
soldiers may create least disturbance—that number
may be found glad of a furlough, but to maintain
the authority or influence of France in Europe the
army must be kept ready for action. Hence the
most expensive part—the officers and equipments
of every regiment—must be fully kept up; the
board and wages of the men will be saved,
but the full salaries of the officers will remain,
and the costly artillery probably be undimi-
ni,hed. Anything like compulsory disbandment
would displease the body which placed the
EMPEROR on the throne. That, of course, woulci
never do. The elect of the coup de-etat may not
touch a hair of a pretorian's head.
If M. FOULD looks to the other departments, to
any one we mean which has employed labour in
accordance with the Socialistic views of the EMPE-
ROR, what can he do. With bread dearer than for
many years, he cannot dismiss the workmen with-
out raising the most dreaded of Parisian cries.
Indeed, we have just now at home a specimen of
what difficulty a Government finds in giving up
unprofitable expenditure. We have found that we
were paying nearly a million a-year for Educa-
tion, through a system which hardly taught a
fourth of the children any useful knowledge of the
three elements of education. We propose not to
stop the expenditure, but to require that the work
shall be done fora hich the money is paid—and
instantly there is perfect hubbub of Government
payees through the land, clamorously asserting a
vested right in payments for doing the thing the
country does not want ! M. FOULD will find this
yet more in France, if he proposes to stop
the Government expenditure in public works,
in shipbuilding, or in anything which has fed
great numbers by employment which now seems to
be unprofitable. We wish the new Minister success,
but we fear ho has difficult material to work.

Already the Minister of the Marine declares that
he cannot reduce his expenditure a single centime.
No guarantee, therefore, is to be given for Euro-
pean peace on the side of the French navy ; yet
this is of all the extravagancies of the Empire the
greatest extravagance, and the worst cause of ap-
prehension to Europe.
M. FOULD relies CM the effect of freer, more
