THE VERY LATEST. TURKEY, The Turkish Gazette announces the formation cf & permanent diplomatic mission at St. Petersburg. Although the Ozar has always had a representative at the Court of the Sultan, there never has been a resident Turkish minister at St. Petersburg. A large steam navigation company has just been formed. It is intended to connect with Constantino- ple by regular steamers, not only all theJBlack Sea porta, but also those of the Mediterranean. as far west as Genoa. Ten steamers will be ordered in England immediately. THE EAST.

FINSBURY COLLECTION PETITION. Mr. Edwin Janes has been retained to appear in support of the petition against Mr. Cox’s return. The Times ssys that Lord Palmerston must not be surprised if the nomination of Mr. Pelham to the Bishopric of Norwich is rather sharply criticised, coming, too, as it does, immediately after the ele vation of M. Villiers and Bickersteth, asorib- ed with theirs to the imfluence of Lord Shafte bury, who has apparently selected them because they are all strong adherents of a particular party, besides being eonnected with the peerage. The Times suggests that a little more variety in our Bishops might be useful. Markets. ‘There was an active demand for money on the London Stock Exchange on the 7th inst., at 6 to 634 per cent. The Pank had raised the rate of interest for loans on stock to seven per cent, which had caused a general decline in prices. ‘The English funds had further declined three-cighth per cent, in consequence of the tightness of the money market. Consols were 9234 to 924; for money, and 93 to 9344 for account. Railway shares were heavy, the leading lines down about 10s, Foreign market also heavy, under the influence of consols. Allthe other markets participated with consols, and were drooping. (From the London Times city article. Tompay, April 7, 1857.

It contains two charts or tableaux, the one giving specimens of the varieties in face and color of the various races of mankind, the other giving specimens of the varieties inte which the monkey family is divided—the object being to show that it types descended from the first pair, Adam and Eve, or from Noah’s three sons, as to suppose that all these types of the monkey family, divided into twenty-six genera—incinding ourang ontangs, chim- panzees, gorillas, de—should have descended from the one primordial or: anie type. On this point, under the head of “final observa- tions,” Mr. Gliddon, who is the author of the chap- ter, Thus, I think, we have ascertained that in continental Asia, Africa and America—leaving aside Madagascar—no less than amidst the thousand islands of the Indian Arche pelago there are scattered immense numbe varieties of monkeys; that, in some places differ occupy cpntiguous habitats whilst their specitic analogues are only met with at very remote distances; that no two tracts of mountain or valley, hardly two islands, possess the same species of monkey’; 'in short, no spot withia the tropical zones, however circumscribed in area, which does not, if bas any at all, possess its own simia or simia; and finally that such species is rare to be found anywhere else. Now, does any naturalist claim that each species of mon- key was not created within the particular province, zone, focus or centre where we find it? Will any nataralist ha. zard a denial that such monkeys were therein created, not in single pairs but in nations? ‘On ascending to man, viewed as the “sole representa tive of his order,” after taking the preceding’survey of his more or less anthropomorphous precursors, whether in relative palwontological epochas, or in respective station at a given link of the spiral chain of being—is it, I would in- quire, by accident that the highest approximations to the human form dwell closely along the equinoxial line, al- most in antipodean juxtaposition—viz: the red ourang. utans, with black and brown gibbons in Malayana, and the black gorillas and chimpanzees in Africa? And is: it again through accident, Task, that the converse of this proposition is true; viz: that the lowest forms of mankind in Africa, as weil as the lowest forms of mankind in Ma- layana vegetate to this day precisely where the highest, most authrapoid types of the monkey species re- spectively reside? * = * = ®* — It is, notwithstand ing, sufficiently strange that under such ‘circumstances, the’ anic type”? of monkey should have so highly improved in Guinea and in Malayana as to become gorillas and chimpanzees, orange and gibbons; whereas, on ne descendants of Adam and Eve have in the same localities actually deteriorated into the most degraded and abject forms of humanity. In bidding farewell to the reader, I would invite hi tention to one more singularity, and to one now estab fact, suggested by inspect this monkey chart, v 1. That, within the black circumvallating line which rounds the zone occupied by the simi, no “civilization” —except possibly in Central America and Peru—hax ever been spontaneously developed since historical times. rope, since the age of fossil remains, has not con- tained any monkeys, save a few apes imported from the African side to skip about Gibraltar rock. The lines runs south of Carthage, Cyrene, Egy pt Proper, Palestine, Mesopo- tamia, Ariana and China, We know that Hindostanic “civi- lization”? was due exclusively to immigrant Aryas; and that of Malayana, primarily to the migratory sequences of the latter, and secondarily to the Muslim Aral 2. That the most superior types of monkeys are found to be indigenous exactly where we encounter races of some of the most inferior types of men. The chapter from which we make the foregoing extracts is the last in the work; but we have gone 80 far out of the order of the work, inasmuch as these illustrations reveal inthe strongest light, per. haps, the animus of the whole. In the chapter of prefatory remarks there is print- ed a communicatien from Lieut. A. W. Habersham, United States Navy, on the hitherto little known subject of the red men of the island of Formosa—s subject to which much interest has been just given on account of the recent wreck of the American clipper Highflyer in the vicinity of the island, and of the supposed slaughter of all on board. The beach, says Mr. Habersham, was crowded by naked and excited savages, who, it was generally reported, were cannibals. * ® The two convicts whom the captain (of the United Siates surveying steamer Jobn Hané taken into the boat to interpret in case of his to land became so frightened at the savage appe these reported man-eaters tha they went to him, protesting, through the steward, that the island had eaten many of their countrymen, and that if he any nearer they would do the kame by him and the boat's crew. Finding it imposible to pass the surf, the boat returned on board and we squared away for Hong Kong. The work is divided into six chapters, besides the chapter of prefatory remarks, which contains the letter on the red men of Formosa, a letter from Professor Louis Agassiz, and one from Professor Joseph Leidy. Chapter one is by Alfred Maury, Librarian the Institute of France, on the dis- tribution and classification of tongues, their relation to the geographical distribution of races, and the indactions which may be drawn from these rela tions, The second is by Francis Pulezky, (Kow suth’s secretary, we believe,) on iconograpaic researches on human races and their art. This chapter is illustrated by ninety-eight wood cuts and nine lithographic elon ot colored. I is @ most valuable of the different styles of art exie@img among virious races, and contains accurate figures of the Egyptian statutes recently diacovered—the oldest known. This com- parison tends strongly to prove the independent origin of the various systems of art and ornamenta- tion. The third chapter is by J. Aitken Meigs, on the cranial characteristice of the races of men— illustrated with eighty-seven wood cute. It i+ founded on a conscientious study of the magnificent materials found in the collection of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, the largest museum of human cranis in the world. The foar'h is by J. C. Nott, on acclimation, or the comparative influence of climate, endemie and epidemic diseases on the races of men. One or two extracts from this chapter are worthy of note:— All races of men, like animals, possess a certain degree of constitutional pliability which eaables them t bear great changes of temperature oF latitude, and those races Uhat are indigenous to temperate climates, having a wire thermometrical range, support best the extremes of other latitudes, whether hotor coll. * * * Tho Is raelite may be reoognixed anywhere; but not so with the Heandinavian and his descendants in the tropics. bat ter becomes tanned, emaciated, debilitated, his hance, energy, everything undergoes a change. The pure white man carried into the tropics deteriorates and body; the w ithont fresh extinet. When, howe are taken to their native climes they to the healthful standard of their original the latter may have been distorted, but can ne be lost except in death, Major General Bagnold, of Honorable Fast India Company's service, a veteran who now, with his family in London, practically carries into effect half a century of Oriental experience, states: ‘that the oldest purely English regiment in India, the * Bombay Tufte,”” notwithstanding that marriages with Britieh female are encouraged, has never been able, from the time of Charles the Second to the present hour, to rear from births n the corps boys enough to supply its drummers and fifers, The rame rule holds good with the Dutch in Batavia and other Indian islands. Their children, when of pure bi in health are weakly; when half caste, worse. Whore, however, as frequently happens in our Gulf States, such half caste is produced by the union of south (dark) Ruro- peans with negresses oF squaws, a harder animal appears tobethe result. * * * The nogro, too, obeys the law of climate, Unlike the white man, his complexion undergoes no change by climate. While the white man ix darkened by the sun, the negr@is never blanched in the slightest degree by a residence in northern latitudes * * * Natural bistory teaches us that the white and black races, for example, are distinet species. Well ascertained varieties of a given species, however widely scattered, may exchange habitations with comparative im- punity; while on the contrary, as a general rule, each spo- cies of a genus has its prescribed geographical range, The following are the conclasions derived by the writer from the very interesting facts bronght to- overt types; r gether in the chapter:— 1, That the earth is naturally divided into zoological reaime, each juxseasing a climate, Fauna and Flora, ex elusiv own. 2. That (he Freina of each realm originated in the realm, and that it has no consanguinity with other Fauna: 3. That each Fealm pessesses a group of huran rade, which, thongh not identical in physical and intellectnal characters, are closely allied with one another, and are disconnected from all other races. We may cite, ag ex- , the white races of Europe, the Mongols of Asia, se iecke of ‘Airica, and the aborigines of America. 4. That the types of man, belonging to these realms, an- tedate all human records, by thousands of years; and are as ancient as the Faunas of which each forms an element. 6. That the types of man ure separated by specific oha- racters, as well marked and as permanent as which designate the species of other genera, 6. That the climate of the earth be divided into physical and medical; and that each ‘of man, hay- ing its own physiological and pathological laws, is peculiarly affected by both climates. 7. That no race of man can be regarded as cosmopolite; but that those races which are indigenous to latitudes in- termediate between the equator and poles approach nearer to cosmopolitism than those of the arctic or the torrid zone. 8. That the assertion that apy one race ever has, or ever can be, assimilated to all physical or all medical climates, is a hy is unsustained by a single historical fact, anc fo rare teactiings of ukbaral Eisiorg: : Chapter five is by Geo. R. Gliddon, on the Monoge. niste and Polygenista, being an exposition of the doctrines of schools profeasing to sustain dogmati- cally the unity or the diversity of human races, with an inqui-y into the antiquity of mangind upon earth, viewed chronvlogically, historically, and paleonotogically. This chapter is illustrated with ‘our wood outs. It isa masterly exposition of the arguments respectively adduced in favor of the unity or diversity of human origin. Mr. Gliddon protests against the outrage perpetrated upon the venerable Humboldt, by which his authority in the question has been completely falsified. The chapter commences with an extract from the French trans lation of Coamos, expressing in philosophic, thoagh emphatic language, the impossibility of deriving any positive knowledge from traditions in regard to the origin of mankind. This passage, bearing per- haps upon prejudices now generally current in England and the United States, has,in the transla tion of Mrs. Sabine, wife of Lieut. Col. Sabine, Fo- reign Secretary of the Royal Society of London, “ undertaken in compliance with the wish of Baron Humboldt,” been completely suppressed. Mr. Gliddon quotes approvingly the authority of Bérard, a French professer of physiology:— Icannot suppose that a mind disengaged from preju- dices and from hindrances, which certain extra scientitic considerations might tnterpose to liberty of thought, can entertain doubts upon the primitive plurality of human types. The authority of Ds. Prosper Lueas, who says:— ‘The psychological diversity of races is as thoroughly de- monstrated as their physiological. And that of Mr. Blanchard, who, supported by Dumontier, says:— ‘We will say at once, that to our eyes there exist dif- ferent species of men; that these species, very proximate to each other, form a ‘natural genus, and’ tliat these spe- cies were created in the very countries in which we find them at present. En résumé, the creation of mankind must have taken place upon an ‘infinitade of points on the globe, and not upon a single point, whence they have spread themselves, little by little, over all the surface of the earth. In this connection the following table of chronolo gy is inserted:— CHEVALIER BUNSEN’S CHRONOLOGY. Origin of mankind. .

The first is a commentary upon the principal distinctions observable among the vari ous groups of homanity, and the second ison the geographical distribution of the simia (the moakey races) in relation to that of some inferior types of men, We have already referred to and givea ex tracts from the latter section of this chapter. The copiousness of the references that abound in this book, the presentation of argunents made by eminent men on each side of the question under discussion, the full foot notes that are given, and th illustrations by wood cuts and lithographs, all com bine to make this new work of Nott and Gliddon’s by far the most interesting and instractive that has yet appeared in any country on a subject to which statesmen, historians and men of science are daily paying increased attention. The style in which the volume is got up is worthy of the work itself and does great credit to the enterprising firm which pab- lishes it.
