COMMISSARIAT DEPARTMENT.

At the close of the review, officers commanding bat-
talions will send an officer to take charge of the tent
specially told off to his battalion, (1,) and will direct
the captain of each company to send one non-commis-
sioned officer, with four mien, to bring from the tent one
basket, containing refreshments for 60 men, one beer
can, containing 3 gallons of ale, ten half-pint drinking
cups, which will be found distinctly marked with the
number of the company in the battalion, (not with the
county number of the corps, (2.)
The captain of each company is charged with the
proper distribution of these refreshments, and will send
the can to be refilled, the portion allotted to each volun-
teer being one pint of ale. One water cask will be
told off to each tent. k

The volunteers will then pile arms, but are not to be
allowed to stray away. The baskets, cans, and cups
will be returned to the refreshment tents when done
with. By order of the Committee, .

A POPISH PRIEST AND HIS PEOPLE.—The pretty,
and usually quiet village of Chaveney, near St. Ger-
, main, has been lately thrown into a state of extraordi-
r nary commotion, owing to a quarrel between the parish
priest and his humble flock. Three principal grievances
were laid at the door of M. Quesneau, the cure :-1:
That he refused to perform the funeral services unless
the wax candles to be used on the occasion were bought
at a particular shop recommended by him. 2. That he
unjustly and maliciously, and in order to spite their
parents, plucked the three best scholars in the village
at the examination for the " first communion !" and
3. That, at the distribution of the " blessed breEid,"
he declined to pay the mayor the usual compliment
of handing him the basket first, and then • added
insult to injury, by saying that the mayor took
such a large piece that he ought to sit on the paupers'
bench to be served. The unpopularity of the cure
rose to such a pitch that a few days ago, as he was going
to say mass, he found the church door nailed up. That
important officer, the garde eliampetre, on being applied
to by the cure to open the door, refused, and two Stal-
wart gendarmes, whose assistance he invoked, were
repulsed by a crowd of villagers, men, women, and
children. In conseqUence of this sacrilegions riot, 22
individuals were arrested, and brought to trial at Ver-
sailles, the performance of public wor-
ship.' for "
mayor,,Thehindein
r whog was evidently a sympathiser,
gave the prisoners a good character, and, by way of
saying the very best thing he could for them, deposed
that they were simple-minded, honest people, who had
always voted fur the Emperor. The offence was one
impossible to be altogether passed over, but the judges
acquitted all but half-a-dozen ringleaders, whom they
sentenced to terms of imprisonment varying from two.
months to fifteen days. The conduct of the cure will
probably be inquired into by the Minister of Public
Worship.
NEW INVENTION .—TIIE NEW FOUNTAIN Pre.---A greater
annoyance than a bad steel pen can hardly be met with—the
difficulty is to get a good one. Amongst the recent improve-
ments the new " fountain pcu," just introduced by Rudhall
and Co. is the best we have ever seen. By a simple but effec-
tive contrivance the ink is retained in a fountain, by means of
a second inverted barrel, above the writing nib, and this barrel
can be taken out at any time, so the pen can be kept perfectly
clean without any chance of being corroded. Another feature
in this pen is, that one dip in the ink will last for five minutes'
quick writing. The pen itself is of the finest description, and
in merchants' offices, banks, and indeed in every place, it will
be found to 1111 a want felt by every one up to this time. We
have tried this splendid pen, handed to us by Mr. E. T. Hall,
South John-street, and can pronounce it perfect, and we are
sure all who use it will give a full verdict in its favour.
The misery, the disappointment, the Interminable expense of
" physic-taking," are now happily suspended by the use of Du
Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, which, by a pleasing and
natural action on the system, removes chrokic and exhausting
diseases, and replaces languor and pain by vigour and health.
The following are not the least remarkable. Cure 32,836:
" Three years excessive nervousness, with pains in my neck
and left arm, and general debility, which rendered my life very
miserable, has been radically removed by Du Barry's health
restoriug Food. Alex. Stuart, Archdeacon of Ross, Skib-
bereen.' Cure 3,906: "Thirteen years' cough, indigestion,
and general debility, have been removed ey Du Barry's excellent
RevalentalArabica Food. J. Porter, Athol-street, Perth." r 221
Let invalids avoid the fearful dangers of spacious and injurious
imitations offered under a variety of false pretences. Nevill's
imitations are prohibited by the High Court of Chancery under
a penalty of 45,000 against Alfred Hooper Nevill and his
agents ; and the pretences that Nevill has a patent for Arabica
Food, and that Du Barrys are connected with such patent are
utterly false. No canister is genuine without the name Barry
