" 1. The Secretary of State for War has decided, with

(as heretofore) by any military or civil officer, except
regimental officers serving with their regiments, who,

orders for the army, are allowed to have soldier servants
to attend them.
"2. To such officers, not regimental, as have been
allowed the use of soldier-servants a daily allowance of
is at home and is 6d abroad (including rations), will be
granted in lieu of each such servant, in the following
proportions :—To a lieutenant-general the allowance for
three servants ; to a major-general for two servants ; to
every other staff officer, including the recruiting staff
and each staff chaplain, for one servant; to every civil
officer who is entitled, under existing regulation or
authority, to the use of a servant or to servants'
allowance for servant.
"3. Servants' allowance will not be given to officers
receiving commuted allowance to cover all contingent
expenses.
" 4. Regimental officers of cavalry, artillery, and in-
fantry will continue to be provided with soldier-servants,
and, consequently, will not be entitled to the pecuniary
allowance. But as regards officers of the Royal

servants they will continue to receive the pecuniary
allowance for one or two servants, according to rank,
under existing regulations, at the established rates of

ls. 61. a-day for each servant on foreign service.
"5. Officers drawing the allowance for one servant
only are to furnish certificates in support of their claims
according to the form No. 1 annexed ; and those draw-
ing it for more than one according to form No. 2.
"6. The higher rate of Is. 46d. a-day, applicable to
foreign service, will be chargeable on the passage to and
from the station in all cases wherein the servants'
allowance is chargeable.
"7. No officer will be entitled to rations for the
servants on account of whom he receives the pecuniary
allowance, but at foreign stations rations may be drawn
for additional male servants actually kept, not exceeding
in the whole the number specified in the Royal
Warrant after deducting the servant or servants for
whom he receives the commuted allowance.
"8. Servants' allowance will not be given to officers
ordered home from abroad, on reduction, after the
expiration of a month from the date of landing in the
United Kiegdom ; and if the officer obtain leave of
absence previously to being placed on half-pay or retired
alrowance, it is sot to continue beyond two months in
the whole from the date of disembarkation in the United
Kingdom.
" 9. Officers on sick lease-, on the recommendation of
a medical board, will receive the allowance for the full
period of their absence on such leave, or for such part of
the period as they shall continue on full pay.
" 10. Officers on leave of absence on private affairs
can only be permitted to receive the full allowance for
two months of such leave.
" 11. The servants' allowance, on reappointment from
the non-effective list, in the case of officers of the Royal
Engineers, and of the medical, chaplain, commissariat,
military store, oegiaeer, and barrack branches, if ordered
for foreign service, will commence from the date of em-
barkation.
" 12. Staff officers are not to draw the allowance for
servants from an earlier date than that on which they
assume their staff duties; and, as regards such officers,
it will cease on the termination of their duties.
" 13. The provisions of the black servants' warrant'
are not affected by this circular.
" 14. The pecuniary allowance hereby extended to
officers on the staff, in lieu of soldier-servant's, is not to
apply to officers of the head-quarter staff in London.
" 15. The regulations contained in this circular will
take effect from Jan. 1, 1858, or the first day of any
subsequent month next ensuing after the receipt of this
circular.
" 16. The date from which the regulations come into
operation under the preceding clause is to be reported to
the accountant-general by the officer commanding at
the station. " B. HAWES."

His Majesty the Emperor, at 8 o'clock this
morning, went to the Hospital Lariboissiere, ac-
companied by an aide-de-camp, and visited the
wounded. Throughout the day numbers have
crowded to the Tuileries, desirous to testify their
abhorrence of the foul crime of which Providence
has so mercifully prevented the perpetration, and
to congratulate his Majesty on his miraculous
escape. Some idea of the feeling which thus
manifests itself may be formed from the fact that
many of thbse who attended had to wait an hour
before they could inscribe their names.
The Imperial sitting of the Legislative Session
of 1858 will take place on Monday next, at one

gone through that necessary formality.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(TMs Day.)

DIVORCE & MATRIMONIAL CAUSES COURT.

OPENING OF THE COURT THIS DAT.

This morning this Court, respecting the working of
which so much anxiety is manifested by the public', was
formally opened at 11 o'clock. Mr. Justice Cresswell
took his seat on the bench. The first business was that
of calling Mr. Bazelgette, Mr. Greene, and Mr. Fleming,
of the Chancery bar, and Dr. Addams, Dr. Phillimore,
Dr. Deane, and Dr. Twigs, of Doctors' Commons, within
the bar, as Queen's Counsel.
The Court having been constituted,
Dr. Phillimore said that in the ease of " Deane I.
Deane," proceedings had been instituted in the Court of
Arches by the wife for a divorce on the ground of adul-
tery on the part of the husband. Proceedings had gone
on till it was necessary to take out a citation of way, and
means against the husband. The proctor for the wife, in
consequence of its being a cumbrous and expo:mays pro-
ceeding, had abstained from doing so in the transition
state of the law, and he (the learned counsel) now asked
if that proceeding might be dispensed with under the
new law.

Mr. Justice Cresawell said that the old law and rule/
of practice was in operation, the new tnles not haying
been agreed to, and consequently the proceeding could
not be dispensed with. His lordship informed the Court
that he hoped the new rules would be ready by Saturday
next.
