A NEW CARTRIDGE FOR SPORTSMEN.—A. Davoust, a
gunsmith in one of the proviccial towns of France, has
invented two kinds of cartridges, one of which produces
a more certain effect at a short range, by causing Cite shot
to expand on issuing from the barrel, while the other
offers the .advantage of greater power at a long range.
The chief point of the invention consists in a kind
of conductor, consisting of a tube which is projected
ont of the barrel together with the shot k contains, and
falls down at some distance from the muzzle after having
given the shot its' proper direction. A sort of cap, se-
cured by a double India-rubber string, closes the cart-
The idea is ingenious and may deserve adoption
after certain practical inconveniences have been re-
moved ; the cap, for instance, is spt to get out of order.
in which case the shot falls out ; an evil, we think,
which may be easily remedied.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Medicine always aggravates chronic dis-
eases, such as dyspepsia (indigestion), flatulency, habitual con-
stipation, nervous, bilious, and liver complaints, &c., but Du
Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica Food invariably cures them
in a very short time. We extract two out of many thousand
expressions of gratitude from invalids :—Prom the Dowager
Countess of Castlestuart. Cure 52,612.—Rosstrevor, County
of Down, Ireland, December 9, 1854. The Dowager Countess
or Castlestuart feels induced, in the interest of ffering
hu-
manity, to state that Du Barry's excellent Revalenta Arabica
Food has cured her, after all medicines had failed, of iudiges
tion, bile, great nervousness and irritability of many years'
standing. This food deserves the confidence of all m ifferers
and may be considered a real blessing. Inquiries will be
cheerfully answered.—Trevao'ler' Gulval, near Penzance, Feb.
20, 1851.-Eighteen years' nervous debility, violent pa'pita-
ton of the heart, throbbing of the temples, violent pains on
the left side and back, shortness of breath, cough, numbness
of the extremities, cramps, spasms, flatulency, retching, and
such general weakness, that I was consequently fearful of fall-
ing when ou my legs; all these symptoms have been removed by
Du Barry's excellent Revalenta Arabica Food. —MARY CELBERT.
Supported by testimonials from the celebrated Professor, of
Chemistry, Dr. Andrew Ure ; Dr. Shorland ; Dr. Harvey ;
Dr. Campbell ; Dr. Gattiker ; Dr. Wurzer ; Dr. Ingram ;
Lord Stuart de Decies the Dowager Countess of Cast', .
Stuart; Major-Gen. Thomas King, and many other respectabl
•
persons, whose health has been restored by it, after all other
means of cure had failed. Suitably packed with full in-
structions. In canisters, lib, 2s. 9d. ; 21b, 4s. 6d. ; Mu,
lis ; 121 b, 225. The 121 b canisters are sent carriage ft ee,

77, Regent-street, Loudon. IMPORTANT CAUTION against th,
fearful dangers of spurious imitations :—The Vice-Chan,el.

10th March, 1854, against Alfred Hooper Nevill, for imitating

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

His Rval Highness the Duke of Cambridge, as
General Cuiuma.ucting in Chief, held a levee at the
Horse Guards yesterday. The attendance of officers
way very numerous.

By the mail steamship Tamar, which sailed yes-
terday, 14 officers and 281 men of the 69th Regt.
have left for Alexandria, thence proceeding to India
by the overland route, via Suez. The following is
a list of the officers who have embarked in this
steamer :—Major Fenwick, Captains G. Begot, A.
B. llankey, Bowen, and J. Smyth ; Lieutenants
G. Bulyer, Hutchinson, E. Boyle, arid R. B. Clark ;
Ensigns St. George, R. Daubeny, P. Beames, and
P. Sbuttleworth ; and Asairtant-Surgeon Whit-
taker. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's
steamships Sultan and Euxine have been chartered
for the same purpose ; the forester vessel leaves this
on the 16th inst., and embarks troops at Plymouth
on the 17th, the latter leaves on the Ist proximo,
and embarks troops at Plymouth on the 2d.
The half-yearly inspection of the corps of Royal
Engineers took place yesterday afternoon at Bromp-
ton barracks, Chatham, the inspecting field-officer
being Cul. W. H. Eden, Commandant of Chatham
garrison. The whole of the officers and men at pre-
sent at headquarters, to the number of nearly 1,000,
including the East India Company's Sappers and
Miners, assembled ou their parade ground at 2
o'clock iu marching order, where they were put
through a variety of evolutions, which they per-
formed in an admirable manner.

At a late hour on Wednesday a despatch was re-
ceived at Chatham garrison from the War-office coun-
termanding the order previously given for the em-
barkation of the reinforcements for the 20th, 23d,
(Welsh Fusiliers), 35th, 53d, 61st, 84th, and 90th
(Light Infantry), on the following day, owing to
the Geo. Marshall, freight-ehip, not being ready to
receive them. Previous to the embarkation of the
reinforcements the vessel will be inspected by the
commandant at Chatham, in order that everything
may be done for the comfort and convenience of the
troops proceeding to India.
A detachment of troops belonging to the Cap•
Mounted Rifles left Chathain yesterday for the pur-
pose of embarking at Southampton on board the
mail steamer proceeding to the Cape.
Her Majesty's receiving ship Fi•gard, bearing
the flag of Commodore Shepherd, stationed off
Woolwich Dockyard, is ordered to be paid off on
Dec. 31.

The Brilliant, 20, Capt. J. 'A. Paynter, from
North America and the West Indies, arrived at the
Nore yesterday at noon. She is under orders to
proce, d to Chatham, there to be paid off.
