L. _ • father, K.C.8., were reviewed by the Duke of Cam bridge, Field-Marshal Commanding in Chief. The infantry formed up on Cove-common at half-past 8 o'clock in three consecutive lines of brigade, equi distant from each other. The Ist brigade was in front, the 2d in the centre, and the 3d in the rear. The E. and F batteries, 9th brigade, Royal Ar tillery, formed the extreme right of the first line. The Duke, accompanied by Major-General Lord George Paget and Gen. Sir J. Yorke Scarlett, ar rived on the parade-ground at half-past 9 o'clock. The troops then formed line of contiguous columns; right in front, at quarter distance, and the bands of the Ist brigade having stationed themselves in front of the saluting base the infantry marched past in open column of grand divisions, and the artillery in open column of batteries. They repassed in lines of contiguous columns, the artillery leading. The whole then formed lines of contiguous columns, facing west, with artillery on the right. They were next formed into direct echelon from front to rear, presenting in this order a very imposing appearance. After having several times formed lines of con tiguous columns on different regiments, still pre serving the echelon formation, the infantry and artillery marched to quarters, and the Duke and Generals accompanying him proceeded to the Long Valley, where the cavalry, Royal Horse Artillery, Royal Engineers and Military Train were drawn up for inspection. The Duke was received with the usual salute. The cavalry then marched past in open column of squadrons, the Royal Engineer and Military Trains in open column of troops, and the Royal Horse Artillery in open column of batteries at a walk. The cavalry and artillery afterwards trotted past by fours, next iu open column of grand divisions at a canter, and again (after countermarch ing on the centre) from the reverse flank in open column of batteries and squadrons at a gallop. On the conclusion of the proceedings the Duke called the commanding officers to the front and congratu lated them on the efficient and satisfactory state of their respective commands. The troops were then dismissed to quarters. PRICE 4d S TAMPED bd. The Extradition Treaty beween England and America. (From the New York Times, May 16.) The proceedings which were commenced before the courts of England to procure the extradition of Charles Windsor, the defaulting teller of the Mer cantile Bank, that he might be brought to this country for trial and punishment, have resulted in a failure, the Court of Queen's Bench, before whom he was brought on a writ of habeas corpus, having discharged him from arrest. The charge under which this man Windsor was sought to be held for extradition was that of for gery. The forgery was alleged to have consisted in making fraudulent entries in the books of the Mercantile Bank, and the provision of our revised statutes was cited, which provides in part 4, chap. 1, title 3, article 3, section 35 :—" Every person who with intent to defraud shall make any false entry, or shall falsely alter any entry made in any book of accounts kept by any moneyed corporation within this State, or any book of accounts kept by such corporation or its officers, and delivered or intended to bedelivered, to any person dealing with such cor poration, by which any pecuniary obligation, claim, or credit shall be, or shall purport to be, discharged, diminished, increased, created, or in any manner affected, shall upon conviction be deemed guilty of forgery in the third degree." The counsel for the accused Argued, not without force, that the offence proved did not come within the terms of this statute, but the court did not allude to this point in rendering its decision. Its decision was placed on the general ground that the fact proved did not constitute forgery by the law of England, and the case was not, therefore, one which came within the provisions of the act passed to carry into effect the provisions of the Extradition Treaty. The English courts have taken similar ground before. The point was argued in the case of the crew of the J. C. Gerrity, and, if we are not mis taken, was directly involved in the case of Ander son, the fugitive slave. nut our courts, we believe, have held a contrary doctrine, having decided that, if the facts proved brought the case within the laws of England, the criminal should be taken to Eng land to be tried. Major-Gen. Lord W. Paulet, C. 8., commanding the south-western districts, inspected the 52d Light Infantry, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Peel, on Southsea-common on Saturday, and inspected the 87th Fusiliers this morning previous to their departure from Portsmouth for Aldershot. Te 31st Regiment removed from C and D lines in the South Camp, Aldershot, on Thursday, and went under canvas on Cove-common. ~ The hired sailing transport Moira, Capt. Ashley, arrived at Spithead on Saturday from Auckland, New Zealand, whence she sailed on Feb. 22d. She has experienced light winds throughout nearly the whole voyage. She has brought home the following troops and passengers :-12 time-expired men and prisoners, 53 invalids from various regiments in the colony under the command of Capt. Wright, 70th Regiment, and medical charge of Dr. White, 65th Regiment, who disembarked this morning ; also as passengers, Major-Gen. Galloway, Col. Sillery (lath Deputy Quartermaster-General of the Forces in New Zealand), lady and family; Mrs. Strange, Capt. Williams, 12th Regiment ; Lieut. Harrington, 14th Regiment ; Mrs. Stone (widow of the late Mr. R. E. Stone, R.A.) and child ; Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Taylor and child ; Mrs. Dyer, Mrs. Guilding, and Mrs. Lane, the whole of whom landed at Portsmouth on the disembarkation of the troops. The Moira will resume her voyage to London. We have before alluded to the inconveniences of a state of things in which the courts of this country and of England hold opposite views of their duty under the Extradition Treaty. Such ought not to be the case. If the agreement between the parties is thus differently construed by them respectively, it is likely to be a cause of difference, instead of binding them more closely together. And some means ought to be taken by which these discrepan cies should be reconciled or removed. One point in the decision of the Chief Justice de serves a moment's attention. He apparently made a distinction between a law of the State of New York and a law of the United States, implying that the court would look at the provisions 2f the latter, but not of the former. There was an intimation of something of the same kind in one of the recent ex tradition cases in Canada, where it was argued that as the treaty was made between the two nations, the Canadian court would look only at the laws of the United States to discover whether the St. Albans bank robbers had committed any offence, and would pay no attention to the laws of the State of Ver mont on the question. The Racoon, screw, Captain Count Gleichin, ar rived at Spithead yesterday from the Mediterranean. She brings a few naval invalids from the ships on that station, and 46 military invalids and time-ex pired men from various regiments and Gibraltar, under the command of Lieut. Jackson, 86th Regi ment, who disembarked this morning. The Gefle, Swedish screw corvette, Capt. Petter son, arrived at Spithead on Saturday last from Tan gier, homeward bound. Soon after anchoring Capt. Petterson landed, and accompanied by Mr. A. L. Vandenburg, Swedish vice-consul, pail his respects to the Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir M. Sey mour, 1.C.8., and the Lieut.-Governor of the gar rison, Major-Gen. Lord W. Paulet, C.B. The Ladentification of the Dead. It may be that the English courts will yet come up to the point of maintaining that doctrine, though they are not so likely to do so now as if the rebellion had continued a year or two longer. But they ought to understand that the criminal offences over which Congress has jurisdiction are but few, and thlt over all other offences the State laws are all that we have, and are just as much a part of the law of the country as the acts of Congress. They should certainly leave to our courts the question whether the law of a State of this Union is a part of the law of this country. Where ‘ a State law is presented t o th em , an d no law of the United States on the same matter is shown, they will do well to assume that it is a part of the law of the country with which they made the Extradition Treaty, and to treat it accordingly. ---.:- A case of singular interest has recently occurred at Alta, in California, in which the process of Dr. Richardson for restoring the features of the deal body that has undergone putrefaction, described in the Lancet two years ago, was applied with the most satisfactory results. It appears that on Tuesday evening, the 14th of March of the present year, a dead body was discovered buried a little way under ground. The earth over the body was only bin. deep at the head and 20in. at the feet of the corpse; aid, as the ground had been disturbed by dogs or by boys passing over it, portions of the dress of the dead were exposed. A person named M‘Glone first made the discovery, and communicated it to the police, who shortly afterwards disinterred and conveyed to the deadhouse a dead man, who, from the marks of injury inflicted on him, had evidently been mur dered. The skull was crushed, and the rope by which he had been dragged to the grave was left round the body. At this time the process of decom position was so far advanced that recognition or identification was impossible. In the difficutly that arose, Dr. J. L. Henry suggested to the coroner that he should use the method of restoration which had been previously carried out by Dr. Richardson. The suggestion was assented to. The body was placed in water in a water-tight shell ; 201bs. of common salt and 11b. of hydrochloric acid were added to the water, and the immersion was sustained three hours. The body was then removed ; the face was washed with simple water, and afterwards with chlorine water ; and finally a current of chlorine gas was passed freely over the face. The restoration of tho features was thus rendered so perfect that the body was positively identified as that of Charles T. Hill, a man 27 years of age, and a native of the State of New York. The report before us from the Alta California says that as soon as the body had been changed in appearance by the chemicals it was recog nised by a young gentleman connected with the press, who was cognizant of the fact that several weeks before the deceased had arrived at Alta in company with a female whose acquaintance he had made in New York, and who was then residing in the town. The girl was soon found, and deposed, that she had not seen Hill for some time, but that she knew he had been residing at what was called the Mansion-house. Inquiries at the Mansion-house na ( e e v i n d t e b n y t 1 y th a e n l i a n n n d l o a r d b; t a h r boding-house) n n g h l o h u s a ed) leftled t o o l h t h e e s t; 4 t te h February, andhadcnaemveerforrettuc trunksed ;bu of Hill,tthatonth the 24th a young man say ing he had been deputed by their owner to remove them ; the landlady, however, refused to let them go. Further research proved that this man was a person ca ll e d Byrne, a man of very bad character, and who had already been tried for burglary. He was at once arrested; his lodgings were examined, and some ar ke li s cle a s elonbdanng i i ng mitation diamond pin, with other to the murdered man Hill, were disclosed. Pressed on all sides by the evidence against him, and brought face to face with the mur dered man, Byrne confessed that he had been out for a drive with Hill on the 20th, and accounted for his Own possession of the property in a manner that only tended to implicate himself the more seriously. Ho was forthwith committed for trial on the charge of murder. Whether or, not the true murderer has been detected, the case is one which shows in a re markable manner the important aid which science may render to justice by this procedure, for it is clear that without it the man who was murdered would never have been known, and that all inquiry would have been stopped at the outset. Our readers will remember that Dr. Richardson, in his original description of his process in these columns, stated that his plan admitted of much improvement ; it may be so, but in the case related the process was never theless so effective that the object for which it was performed was fully realised. —Lancet.

GUIDE TO TICE QUACKS OF LONDON. A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the " Medical Circular," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. The reader of " Punch" should read this pamphlet also. Ile has of ten read, in the pages of "Punch," of a. rtain Quacks, frau dulent aril noisome, who obtain money by false pretences, and more money by menaces and extortion, from green young men. For their names, which "Punch" would not advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of the advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of Mr." Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list of these miscreants, with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them. n edful to be known, will be found in the pamphl t above referred to, which is entitled "Revelations of Quacks ani Quackery," and is to be had at the "Medical Circular" Office, 20, King William-street. Strand, W.O. The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous g..ins of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to the causation of suicide, are fully set forth in " Revelations of. Quacks and Qackery." And mark especially that, as aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are publishei. The pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory, by consulting which every young man may know where he may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed. Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy " It evelations of Quacks and Quackery." Its contents will astonish and amuse you, whi e they invoke your indignation and disgust. Of coarse you do not want it on account of its warnings for your own sake, but you doubtless do for that of the many simple tons with whom you must be acquainted, if your acquaint ance is large. " Who are tne Quacks that 'Punch' means ?" Consider what it is to he able to answer this question of the young and inexperienced, and, for charity's sake, if for no other, go and provide yourself with "Revelations of Quacks and Quackery," by Detector.—Punch, April 12.

Leith in the chair. The report, an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said the traffic on the line had gradually progressed, and on the whole he thought they wduld consider it satisfactory. There was considerable difficulty in diverting the traffic in India from the ordinary routes, and he thought they might congratulate themselves on the accession of traffic to their Kooshtee station on the Ganges. By this means the native , merchants would avoid sending their goods in boats by the tedious navigation of the Sunderbunds to Calcutta. Since the last meeting the directors had ascertained that the total loss to the company by the late cyclone did not exceed £12,610. The traffic had gone on increasing satisfactorily. The gross receipts for the half-year ending the 31st of December last amounted to £46,732, and for the corresponding half of 1863 to £42,603, showing an increase of £4,129. The net receipts amounted to £21,652 against £20,476 for the corresponding half-of 1863. The tdtitl =niter of passengers carried-was 539,700 against 514,990 for the same half of 1863, shelving an increase of 24,710. The increase of traffic on the line would have been much greater if the feeder roads had been completed, but he was sorry to say that not one of the feeder roads had yet been completed to the railway, and conse quently the local traffic could not be developed. The chief increase was from through traffic. Since the end of last year the traffic had augmented in a greater proportion than formerly. The receipts for the week ending March 18 last amounted to £3,973, which was sufficient to pay at the rate of 54 per cent. per annum on the cost of the railway, which was about £15,000 a mile. The total cost of the 110 miles was about £1,650,000. In the subsequent week ending March 25 the receipts amounted to £4,534, which was a larger receipt. The total receipts for the first 15 weeks of the present year amounted for passengers to £23,313, and' for goods to £19,290; together, £42,603,- which he thought was very satisfactory. The water communications to Kooshtee would materially assist them. With regard to the passenger traffic, the establishment of a fourth class had given great satisfaction to the native; as it enabled them to preserve caste. It had also encouraged the natives to use the railway for residential traffic near Calcutta. The first and second class fares were lower than on the Past Indian Railway, and should be raised to make them remunerative. The first class fares were 12 pice per mile, or lid. ; second class, 6 pice, or Id. per mile ; third class was 41 pice per mile, and fourth class 3 pice, or three-eighths of a penny per mile. The goods traffic consisted chiefly of produce from the interior to Calcutta, but if the imports were as much the waggons would not return empty, and they would have the goods traffic both ways, up and down. The company's staff had enjoyed good health during the past half-year. The traffic has already exceeded the original estimate of Mr. Purdon, their engineer. He had estimated the local traffic at '.£55,000, and the through 'traffic from the Ganges at £25,000, making £BO,OOO a-year ; the receipts for the year 1864 amounted to £92,000, which was £12,000 above the estimate. They had repaid to the Government £82,475 out of their net revenue on interest account to Dec. 31 last. Sir F. HALLIDAY seconded the motion for the adoption of the report, which was carried unanimously. In reply to questions it was stated,that there was a com mission sitting in Calcutta on the subject of a bridge across the Hooghly. The company's engineer had proposed that the bridge should cross the river at either of the two points —one 30 miles above Calcutta, and the other at 16 miles from Calcutta, at either of which a junction lino could pass over the bridge from the East Indian Railway to the Eastern of Bengal Railway. The East Indian Railway Company had proposed that the bridge should cross the Hooghly as near their station at Howrah as possible. Howrah was at one side of the river Hooghly and Calcutta on the other, similar in position to London and Lambeth on each side of the Thames. The point selected for crossing the Hooghly was about 5 miles above Calcutta, and it was proposed to bring the traffic of the East Indian Railway over the Eastern of Bengal Railway to a central station at Sealdah, in Calcutta. On the motion of Mr. FRANKLIN, seconded by Mr. TUOMPSON, a resolution was unanimously passed requesting the directors to communicate to the Government the re spectful romonstranceof the companyat the non-fulfilment of expectations held out in reference to the construction of feeder roads, the absence of which had deprived the com pany of remunerative local traffic which otherwise would have come upon the line. • The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN. An adjourned special meeting of this company was hold on Saturday at the Euston station, to consider certain bills now before Parliament; Mr. R. Benson in the chair. Mr. C. E. Stewart, the secretary, haring read the notice of adjournment, The CHAIRMAN said there were only three bills ready to submit for approval. The Solicitor read the heads of a bill for conferring ad ditional powers on the London and North-Western Railway Company, in relation to their own undertakings and the undertakings of other companies in England and Scotland and for other purposes. The principal object of the bill was to enable the company to widen their line at Edghill, Man chester, and other places, to purchase additional lands, and to extinguish the Bedford and Cambridge Railway Com pany. The capital authorised to bo raised by the bill was £BOO,OOO, with the usual borrowing powers. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, a formal resolution approving the bill was adopted. The Solicitor then read part of a bill for making a rail way from the West Midland Railway to the Coleford, Monmouth, Usk, and Pontypool Railway ; section 45 gave power to work the line and to make traffic arrangements. The bill was approved. The third bill submitted was a bill to confer further powers upon the Carnarvon and Llanberis Railway Com pany and for other purposes ; section 22 gave permissive powers to work the line and make traffic arrangements with the London and North-Western Company. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, a formal resolution 'approving the bill was adopted, and the meeting was fur-. ther adjourned to Thursday next. SHREWSBITRY AND NORTH WALES. On Saturday a special meeting of this company was held at the offices, Broad Sanctuary,Westminster ; Mr. B. Lattey in the chair. The CHAIRMAN moved a formal resolution approving a bill to authorise the construction of a railway in the county of Salop, to be called the Shrewsbury and Potteries Junc tion Railway. lie said that the capital authorised by the bill was £400,000, and the length of the line 45 miles. The motion was agreed to unanimously, and the pro ceedings terminated. MOLD AND DENBIGR .ITTNOTION. A special meeting of this company was held at the offices, Broad Sanctuary, Westminster, on Saturday; Mr. R. Latty in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said they had to consider two bills now before Parliament ; one was a bill to enable the company to make certain new lines of railway and to abandon a por tion of the authorised railway, and the other a bill to enable the company to raise additional capital, to divide their shares, and to make deviations from their authorised line of railway. He stated that the share capital authorised to be raised by the first bill was £lOO,OOO, and in the second bill £155,000. He then moved formal resolutions approving the bill, and they were agreed to. THE PRUSSIANS AT KIEL. —Several German journals mention that M. Kcenig, architect to the Prussian Government, has left Berlin for Kiel to prepare the con struction of maritime establishments required for the for mation of a naval station for Prussia in that port: FATALLOCOMOTIVE BOILER EXPLOSION.-011Fri day afternoon, about 5 37, the locomotive attached to a passenger train going from Manchester to Bury, on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, exploded soon after the train had been stopped at Miles Platting Station. The boiler was rent asunder, and portions of it hurled to a great distance. Tho driver and stoker escaped, though their safety is almost miraculous. The former was only slightly hurt on the back of the head, but the stoker was not at all injured. In a Meld near this station a boy named Dowling, the son of a labourer, was playing with sane companions, and was struck by a large fragment of the boiler on the forehead, and his brains were scattered about, but the other children were not hurt. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Unerring Precision.—When the health is breaking down from the continuance of some weakening discharge, when ulcers refuse to heal, and extending mischief is threatened, then is the time to try the potency of Holloway's healing ointment and purifying pills. No treatment for giving ease, and safely leading to a cure, can be compared to this. The ointment cleans and cools the foulest and most angry sores, diminishe the inflammation, reduces the swelling, prevents the growth of proud flesh, and spares both pain and danger. Thousands testify, from their own personal experience, to the unvarying success attending the use of Holloway's medicaments m cases of ulcerated legs, en larged veins, scurfy skin, and swelled ankles. Death of Charles Waterton, the Naturalist. Mr. Charles Waterton, or, to use the name by which he was more familiarly known around the place where he passed the later years of his life, Squire Waterton, the noted naturalist and traveller, died at midnight on Friday last, at his residence, Walton-hall, near Wakefield. Although he had reached an advanced age, namely, 83, yet up to Thursday he was hale and vigorous beyond the com mon lot of those of his time of life. On that day he met with an accident by falling from .a rustic bridge spanning a small stream which runs into the upper end of the lake surrounding the hall. Dr. Wright and Mr. Horsfall were called into him, but the shock which the system had sustained was too great for the old squire to rally from. The Reverend Canon Brown before his death administered to him the last rites of the Roman Catholic Church, and it is under stood the Pope telegraphed his benediction. Mr. Edmund Waterton, the squire's son, was in Rome with the Pope when the accident took place. As a naturalist Mr. Waterton was world renowned. " Waterton's Wanderings in South America" have been read, we should think, wherever the English tongue has penetrated ; and the bold characteristic deed therein narrated—the riding of a caiman to death—will at once recur to every mind. One of squire's well-known traits was never to allow a shot to be fired on his grounds, except to keep down the rabbits which infested them. The result has been that in Walton-park many .a rare bird and animal has made its haunt in safety, and the curious cir cumstance may be therein seen of herons and equally shy members of the feathered tribe remaining un moved at the report of a gun. Walton-hall and grounds have long been the resort during the sum mer months of numerous pleasure parties. The in structions which the departed squire left behind him concerning his funeral are somewhat remarkable. A mausoleum for the reception of his body had long been: erected near the top end of the lake. This sepulchre rests beneath the overhanging shade of two venerable oak trees. The body is not to be car ried to its long home by land, but is to be conveyed over the lake in a boat, the mourners are to follow in the wake. The funeral is to take place on Satur day ; and if the wishes of the deceased squire are to be consulted, will be strictly private. The squire had written his own epitaph. It is in Latin. The translation runs thus Pray for the soul of Charles Waterton, born June, 1782, died 18—, whose wearied bones rest here." The following brief account of his life is taken from Mr. W. H. Lcatham's lectures, published in 1845 :—" This celebrated naturalist was born at Walton-hall, near Wakefield, in the county of York, about 62 years ao.o. On his father's side he is descended in a direct line (through his grandmother) from Sir Thomas More. On his mother's side he is akin to the Be dingfields of Oxbury, to the Charletons of Hazle side, and to the Swinburnes of Chapheaton. The Watertons emigrated into Yorkshire some centuries ago, from their family seat, bearing their own name, in the island of Axholm, in Lincolnshire. The Watertons fought at Cressy and Agincourt and at Marston Moor. They were preferred in Catholic times to places of great honour and trust, but since the Reformation they have experienced opposite fortune. Walton-hall, the family seat, stands on an island in a lake. The land rises gently from the water on all sides and is crowned with fine timber, the whole park being inclosed by a formidable stone wall. Charles Waterton received his education at Stonyhurst, Lancashire, where he remained until nearly 21 years of age. here he became an elegant Latin scholar, and renounced for ever the use of wines and spirituous liquors. His love for natural history often led him into playing truant, but even tually his instructors gave him further liberty to pursue his favourite study. Soon after leaving Stonyhurst the young squire made a tour into Spain. Here he met with many strange adventures—fever, earthquakes, &c., and was seized with sickness on his return home. In 1804, he went out to superin tend his uncle's estates in Demerara. In 1812, his father and uncle being dead, he delivered up his trust, and all subsequent visits which he paid to South America were undertaken with no other ob ject in view than the pursuit of natural history. " The Wanderings" bear testimony to the wonder ful adventures of Mr. Waterton during these visits. The vivacity with which these narratives abound render them the most charming productions of the kind in the English language: In 1829, Mr. Waterton married a Miss Edmonstone, but their ',felicity was of short duration--she died within a year, leaving him a son. He has since made frequent journeys to Belgium and Italy. His " Essays on Natural History" have been collected from Loudon's Magazine, and edited by himself in a handsome volume, to which he pre fixed a most amusing autobiography. This work is as racy as " The Wanderings," and full of interest ing and acute observation. In closing this brief sketch of Mr. Waterton, we must not omit to men.. tion that he is the first bird-stuffer in the world, and one of the most kind-hearted landlords, and a zealous and conscientious Catholic. A highly recommen datory feature of his writings is, that they uniformly enjoin kind treatment of animals, and a generous sympathy with their persecutions. He has lately published a second series of essays on Natural History. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, May 28.
