A strange occurrence took place on Monday last
in the Church of Notre Dame. An officer, wearing a foreign
military uniform, was praying, apparently with great devo-
tion, in the nave of the church. He remained there until
six o'clock, when the beadle, struck with the strange ex-
pression of his countenance, told him that it was time to
close the church, and requested him to leave. The officer
looked at him stedfastly for some time, and then exclaimed,
"Kill me, for I have entertained the idea of assassinating
Loy King." The beadle thought it expedient to call in
some police officers, who interrogated the foreigner, and
ascertained that he is a captain in the Prussian army.
When the police were preparing to remove him he was
attacked with a fit, and it became necessary to transport
him to the Hotel Dieu, where he still remains. From fur-
the' inquiries it appears that he has become insane. Ho had
just returned from the Camp of Chalons, and from his pass-
port it appears that he was specially commissioned to study
the manoeuvres recently introduced into the French army.
NEW REGULATIONS FOR VOLUNTEER OFFICERS.

and honourable a service. This form requires the age, ad-
dress, profession, state of health, and height of every per-
son asking for a commission in the West Riding Volunteer
force ; it is also necessary to give the name and addresses

gentlemanlike and moral conduct of the applicant; and
further, it is required that the candidate must certify that.
