THE ARMY.

The following circular memorandum, addressed.
to the cavalry by Sir J. Y. Scarlett, Adjutant-Gene-
ral, has been issued by direction of H.R.H. the
Duke of Cambridge:—
" 1. The General Commanding-in-Chief has ob-
served, from the returns recently forwarded, that
comparatively few cornets, on joining, have availed
themselves of the regulation by which they are per-
mitted to select horses from the regimental or
remount horses of their respective regiments.
" 2. His Royal Highness intended this regulation
to secure to young officers efficient chargers at
moderate prices.
" 3. He can only attribute its failure up to the
present time to the eTiiis if horse purchased not
being sufficiently good for officers' chargers, or to
the young officers not having received encourage-
ment to avail themselves of the privilege.
"4. With a view to securing to them the benefit
of the regulation, his Royal Highness directs that
when a cornet joins his regiment the commanding
officer shall, in every case, order the dealer who
supplies the regiment with troop horses to provide
two in addition, as officers' chargers, for which he
will receive £5O each from the paymaster, to be
repaid by the officer when they have been passed
sound by the veterinary surgeon, and approved by
the commanding officer, who will be held as respon-
sible for the proper selection of these horses as he is
for that of the troop horses.
" 5. These horses are not to be under four years
old or to exceed five, and they are to be subjected to
the approval of the Inspecting-General of Cavalry,
with other remounts, at the half-yearly inspections.
"6. They are to be considered the private pro-
perty of the officers, but not to be sold without the
approval of the commanding officer, and the horse
selected as first charger is not to be used for hunt-
ing or for harness.
"7. Should either or both these horses become
unfit, from disease or accident on duty, they may
be returned to the ranks, and the officer be permitted
to select others to replace them, from the next re-
mounts, at troop price.
" 8. If within two years either or both shall be
found, from want of action, or from vice, unfit for an
officer's charger, they may be returned to the ranks,
and others selected from the remounts to replace
them, with the consent and approval of the com-
manding officer.
" 9. Any other officers, under the rank of field
officer, in want of chargers, will be permitted to
select two from the remount horses, with the ex-
ception of medical officers, veterinary surgeons,
paymasters, and quartermasters, who may select
one each, paying the sum of £5O for each horse;
and the rules laid down for officers joining will
be applicable to them also.
" 10. Officers raised from the ranks will be per-
mitted to select from the ordinary remounts, under
the foregoing rules, at the troop price.
" 11. If these orders are strictly attended to,
and commanding officers will also take upon them-
selves to furnish the parents or guardians
of young officers joining with a list of
articles absolutely necessary for their equipment,
his Royal Highness feels no doubt that the expense
of fitting out a cornet, now so much complained of,
will be reduced to a moderate and reasonable sum.
" 12. His Royal Highness has convinced himself,
by very minute inquiry, that the chief expense of
the cavalry does not consist in what is necessary
for an officer's equipment and sustenance, but in Or
expensive habits, independent of the profession, ;no
which a young officer is not only not called
buipmon
indulge, but which are highly injurious to.
" 13. All previous orders on this
hereby cancelled." from the t+ inch

was very delicate and wasting away, and milk, sago, and
arrowroot turned sour on its stomach, causing great suf-

false pretences. Ncvill's imitations are prohibited by the
high Court of Chancery under a penalty of £5,000 against
Alfred Hroper Nevill and his agents; and the pretences
that Nevill has a patent for Arabica Food and that Du
Barry's are connected with such patent are utterly fake.
