A Series or 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 realer of " Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has of ten read, in the pages of "Punch," of at rtain Quacks, frau dulent an I noisome, who obtain money by false pretences, and more money by menaces and extortion, from green young mt-n. For their names, which "Punch" would not advertise, he hat refer, td his readers to the lower corner of the advertising - columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of Mr. " Punch's" contemporaries, espe,iaily in the counin, may.still be enumerated But now he begs to pub liSh the Information that a nominal list of these ••i.icreants, with copies of their puffs and other t,articulars concerning them. n,edfui to be nown, will be found in tf , e pamphl t above ret. rred to, which .a entitled " Revelati ns of Quacks an 1 Quackery." and is to be had at the "Medic tl Circular " Office, 20, King William-street, St, and, W.C. '1 he vile practices, the monstrou int: , udenee, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous gins of the obscene tribe of Qut'ks, the mischief they do, the ruin they w ‘rk, even to the causation of suicide, are fully set for h in " Irtevelcions of Quacks a-d Qa :kery." And mark eapec ally th,.t, as afor. said, the names of the Quacks are putdishe i. The pamphlet 1,, question thus constitutes a regiyar Quack Di r,ctory, b/ conz.ultiug 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 "Revelations of Quacks and Quackery." Its contents will astonish and amuse you, whi e they invoke your indignation and disgust. 01 course you tio not want it on account of its warnings for your own sake, but you doubtless do for hat of the many simple tons with whom you must be acquainted, if your acquaint ance is large.

It was designed to take , o the little ones whose charact r and circumstances disqualify the for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender age precludes their admission to the R,fuges. Such are the se who, from neglect, are already on the road to ruin. Such are those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and left to beecome idle wanderers. Such are those whose parents may have at one time or other received parish relief, and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose parents are breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who train their children in the same path. Such are those whose evil associations have already had their painful effect, and must lead them to a life of crime and misery. There are now 50 little inmates from about four years of age to 10. There is room for nearly 10., and the Committee would joyfully see the Home filled at once ; they only wait for the necessary subscriptions. The Committee feel constrained to plead for those who cannot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the cir cumstances of some who have been already admitted, they ask—is it right to make a widow and her tamily paupers for life because one of them (the naughty boy of the family) runs wild in the streets and is beyond her control ? Is it kind to tell her, because she has so large a family, that you will not h 1p her to put one of them into a Home. but that they must ail go into " the house ?" Is it doing the best we can for the little destitute orphan to send him to the workhouse. Is it doing to others ss we would they should do unto us that when these little ones have unnatural parents who turn them into the streets, or force them by 111-treatment to " run away," none of us shoo d be found to care for them, to speak a kindly word to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe th-m ? Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, passing by on the other aide, or else exclaiming "Am I my brother's keeper?" The necessity for an Institution for these little ones is evi dent from the police static ics, which show that in Londo n alone, in one year, n o f ewer th an 311 b oys un d er '0 years ' of age, have been appr-lended for various offences, 79 of whom were eonvicted and punished, while the bulk. 232 were dis charged by the magistrates with a rebuke, as being too young to punish, though not too young to learn the beginnings of crime. On the other hand, there are numbers who, but for the timely het, afforded by such an Insti*ution, must other wise become paupers, and losing all ideas of self-reli ance and self-help, be permanent burdens to the State the Home for Little Beiya has, therefore, been established to revue the little ones, to save them from th e p r i son on t h e one hand, and the workhouse on tire other, and to endeavour to make them useful members of society. dailyl he routine of the Ins ituilon present , : all the fea tures of a home, a rvilpio., and a workshop. The little ones are cared for as children ; they have their regular meals, ih it suitable clothing. their hours of play and amusement, and their singing class. They are treated as scholars ; every morning is devoted to echo 1 work—reading, and writing, and cipherinz, and Scriptural instruction. with occasional lessons in co' jects and other subjects. But they are also trained to work.

But they have both received their inspiration under Italian skies, in presence of the great models of ancient Greece and Rome. Hawthorne's description, in the " Transformation," of the Faun of Praxiteles has been quoted as in a great measure applicable to this masterpiece of Miss Hosmer. Mr. Hawthorne writes : "The Faun is the marble image of a young man having his right arm on the trunk or stump of a tree ; one hand hangs carelessly by his side; in the other he holds the frag ment of a pipe or some such sylvan instrument of music. His only garment —a lion's skin, with the claws upon his shoulder—falls halfway down his back, leaving the limbs and entire front of the figure nude. The form thus dis played is marvellously graceful, but has a fuller and more rounded outline, more flesh and less of heroic muscle than the old sculptors were wont to assign to their types of mas culine beauty. The character of the face corresponds with the figure ; it is most agreeable in outline and feature, but rounded and somewhat voluptuously developed, especially about the throat and chin ; the nose is almost straight, but very slightly curves inward, thereby acquiring an inde scribable charm of geniality and humour. The mouth, with its full yet delicate lips, seems so nearly to smile out right that it calls forth a responsive smile. The whole statue conveys the idea of an amiable and sensual creature, easy, mirthful, apt for jollity, yet not incapable of being touched by pathos. Miss Hosmer's Faun is in a reclining position, and is represented just at the moment when he is dropping asleep—his left arm falls carelessly over the stump of a tree, against the lower part of which he is lean ing ; the bead, thrown back, rests on his left shoulder, the legs are crossed, and the right hand lies upon the calf of the left leg, from which it appears to be gradually slipping as the muscles become more and more relaxed under the in fluence of sleep. His sylvan pipe has fallen from his grasp, and this, with a bunch of grapes, an oaken staff, and a lizard crawling round the stump of the tree, form appro priate accessories to the figure of the sportive and frisky Faun. Beside the Faun is seated a baby Satyr, full of fun and mischief, who is busily intent on tying into a knot the tail attached to the lion's skin that constitutes the Faun's only covering. This is a capital little figure, full of life, truth, and vigour." The other statues, most admirable for their power of expression, and their delicate chiselling, are the " Camilla" by Pandiani, of Milan;' "The Woman taken in Adultery," by Magni, of the same city, and his " Singing Girl ;" and Mr. Kirk's statuette of " Sappho." The most striking work in the col lection is the colossal statue of Pius IX., writing the rescript establishing the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. It stands in the Great Hall, nearly facing the dais, and at a distance His Holiness seemed to be giving his benediction to the Prince of Wales, or praying for the success of the Exhibi tion. Most of the statues dome from Italy ; very few are the works of British artists. There are three picture galleries, one devoted to the ancient masters, one to the modern English school, and one to foreigners. In the last, which is the gallery over the statuary, there are choice pictures from Italy, Spain, France, Germany, and Belgium. The British school is placed in the smaller concert-room to the north of the Central Hall. It contains a larger number of celebrated works, such as Mulready's " The Wolfe and the Lamb," " The Last In,"—a village schoolmaster receiving with an ironical bow a schoolboy who has come in late ; "The Village Buffoon," "LA Cottage:lnterior," and " First Love." These are all remarkable for their admirable discrimination of character, delicate humour, wonderful drawing, and glowing colour ing. There are two pictures by Mr. Maclise, " Noah's Sacrifice," and " Malvolio and the Countess," but neither is a good example of the artist's powers. There are three of Leslie's finest works—" Sancho and the Duchess,"" Uncle Toby and the Widow Wadman," and " Les Femmes Savantes—Trisotin reading his Sonnet." Wilkie, Turner, Danby, Landseer, Constable, Egg, Roberts, Herbert, Philip, Leighton, Cooke, Ward, Stanfield, Thomas, Anthony, Mulvany, Elmore, Knight, Goodall, O'Neill, Hunt, Hughes, and Wallis, are among the artists whose works adorn this gallery. Among the exhibitors is the venerable Lord Gough, who has lent the following interesting articles : 98 A.—Baton of Field-Marshal Viscount Gough, K.P., G.C.8., and K.S.I. 99 A.—Collar and Badge of the Order of the Star of India. 100 A.—Sword--scabbard covered with green velvet, and mounted with gold, set with rubies and emeralds; gold bosses of waistbolt inlaid with diamonds, rubies, and emeralds ; sword knot and tassels decorated with pearls. Presented to Viscount Gough, by Rajah Shere Singh, Punjab. 101 A.—Dagger—Damascus blade, sheath elaborately enamelled in colours. Presented to Viscount Gough by Rajah Shere Singh, Punjab. 102 A.—Model, in marble and mosaic, of sarcophagus of Noor Mahal, wife of Shah Jehan, Emperor of Delhi. From original in the Jay Mahal, Agra. 103.—Model, in silver, of the Kootab Minar, Delhi. Yesterday the attractions of the military review by the Prince quite overpowered those of the Exhi bition. It was to be held at 11 a.m., but in conse quence of the rain it was postponed till 3 o'clock. The streets of Dublin seemed almost deserted, and there was scarcely a cab or car to be found at any of the stands. The following regiments were assembled on the plain about 2 o'clock, the sth Dragoon Guards, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Somerset J. E. Calthorpe ; the 10th Hussars, under the com mand of Lieutenant-Colonel V. Baker ; the 11th Hussars, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel C. C. Fraser, V.C. ; the C and E Troops Royal Horse Artillery, under the command of Colonel C. S. Henry ; the 29th, under the command of Lieu tenant-Colonel L. Farrington ; the 41st Regiment, under the command of Col. J. E. Goodwyn, C.B. ; the Ist battalion 60th Royal Rifles, under the com mand of Lieut.-Col. J. P. Redmond ; and the 78th Highlanders, under the command of Colonel C. C. M'lntyre, C.B. The troops were drawn up in line in open order, extending right across the Fifteen Acres. The Prince of Wales, who wore his uniform as colonel of the 10th Hussars, rode across from the Viceregal Lodge about three o'clock, accompanied by the Duke of Cambridge, the Lord-Lieutenant, and the Prince of Leiningen, General Sir George Brown, Major-General Ridley, &c., and a numerous and brilliant staff. On the arrival of their Royal Highnesses a royal salute of 21 guns was fired, the bands of the various regiments playing " God Save the Queen." After the Duke of Cambridge, his Excellency and suite had passed down the line, the troops were put through a variety of evolutions by Sir George Brown. The tremendous charges and signal victories which marked the varying fortunes of the.day are described in the morning papers as vividly as if all had been real. Happily there was no accident during the day. When the sham fight was over, and tho Prince of Wales had again taken his posi tion before the flagstaff, the whole of the troops marched forward in parade order with bands play ing and colours flying, and so terminated the pro ceedings. His Royal Highness then proceeded, ac companied and escorted as before, to the Viceregal Lodge, amid the most cordial cheers of a vast throng, who were, with difficulty, restrained from breaking all bounds, and rushing forward to make their greeting more emphatic. Another royal salute was fired as the Prince was leaving the ground. The regiments then marched back to their respective quarters. The clouds, which for the half-hour previous to the termination had looked most portentous, commenced a heavy downpour of rain while the last salute was being fired, and hastened not a little the departure of civilians, as well as soldiers, for their homes. The day passed off pleasantly, and the greatest good order and good temper prevailed. The review concluded at half-past 5 o'clock. In the evening the Prince of Wales and the Vice regal party dined at the residence of Gen. Sir Geo. Brown, at the Royal Hospital. The Prince was PRICE 4d,, STAMPED sd. escorted by a troop of the 11th Hussars and received by a guard of honour of the 29th Regiment. DUBLIN, Thursday Night. The Prince of Wales visited the Exhibition to day, accompanied by the Prince of Leiningen, the Lord-Lieutenant and Lady Wodehouse, the Hon. J. Wodehouse, Earl Spencer, Lieut.-Gen. Knollys, Mr. Fisher,lsecretary to the Prince, Major Teesdale, C. B. , Lieut.-Col. Keppel, and Capt. Arkwright, Aide-de- Camp in Waiting to the Lord-Lieutenant. The Prince went to the Exhibition in an open carriage drawn by four horses, with outriders, and the members of the suite were accommodated in other viceregal equipages. The escort consisted of a troop of the 10th hussars. On arrival at the Exhi bition building the Prince was received by the Duke of Leinster, Mr. Gilbert Sanders, the Dean of St. Patrick's, Sir Bernard Burke, Messrs. F. W. Brady, Maurice Brooks, J. Lentaigne, J. W. Switzer, T. Cot terell, David Drummond, J. Fry, W. Foot, T. Pim, &c., who conducted the Prince through the building, and pointed out its chief treasures, which his Royal Highness spent two hours in examining. He was enthusiastically cheered on entering and leaving the building and in passing through the streets. From the Exhibition the Royal party proceeded to St. Patrick's Cathedral, where the Prince was received by Mr. Guinness, the Dean, the Rev. Dr. Marks,Dr. Sadlier, the Rev. Mr. Plunkett, and others. Having been conducted through the cathedral by Mr. Guinness, the Prince departed for the Viceregal lodge, the Royal cortege passed through St. Stephen's green, Grafton-street, and along the Quays. The Provost and Fellows of Trinity College have con ferred on his Royal Highness the honorary degree of LL.D. Alleged Jobbing at the Metropolitan Board of Works. Yesterday, atthe Marylebone vestry, and on the previous afternoon at that of St. Pancras, the representative bodies of the two largest and heaviest taxed parishes in the metro polis, very considerable sensation was caused by an an nouncement made by the members of the districts at the Metropolitan Board that the committee to . whom the subject had been referred had recommended the presentation of a gratuity of £lO,OOO, viz., £6,000 to Mr. Bazalgette, and £4,000 to his sub-engineers, for services in carrying out the main drainage works. At St. Pancras, Mr. S. TAYLOR, representative at the Metropolitan Board, said he and his colleague had done all they could to resist this extraordinary attempt to tax the ratepayers, but they were in a minority of 8 against 23. The original proposal was to present the engineers of the main drainage works with a gratuity of from £15,000 to £20,000, but that was so monstrous as to be eventoo strong for the committee, who were coming up to the board with a recommendation of £6,000 for Mr. Bazalgette, and £4,000 for his assistants. Mr. Taylor said (in answer to questions) the ground of this proposal was, that had Mr. Bazalgette carried out these works upon the usual percentage to engi neers, he would have been entitled to four or fire times this sum and his salary together—his salary was £1,500 per annum. Mr. J. SALTER moved, " That the action taken by the representatives of the vestry of St. Pancras at the Metro politan Board of Works in opposing the proposed increased emoluments to the. chief engineer and sub-engineers, meets with the entire approval of this vestry, and that they be further requested to continue their opposition." Mr. Ross certainly thought that if, with all the talent he had displayed, the chief engineer only got £1,500, the chair man of the board, who had £2,000 for merely sitting in the chair, ought to be reduced to £5OO. (Laughter.) The motion was carried unanimously. At Marylebone, Mr. NICHOLAY introduced the subject and denounced it as a most wanton and unwarrantable waste of the ratepayers' money, and expressed his determination to give the proposal, when it came up, his strenuous opposition. Mr. HoLcomE moved, and Mr.FREETH' seconded, a resolu tion " approving of the course taken and intended to be adopted by Mr. Nicholay in resisting the payment of these gratuities of £lO,OOO to the engineer and his assistants, as they are decidedly of opinion that such grants would be premature." Mr. FEEETII and Mr. GEORGE BUM strongly denounced the predilection of the Metropolitan Board to squander the ratepayers' money. Professor MARKS concurred in the view of the resolution that this proceeding was premature. Let them wait and ascertain whether the main drainage had really the effect that was contemplated, and if it did, then the testimonial which should be presented to the talented man or men who had carried it out, should be by a national and Government grant, and not a mere local one. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was also carried unanimously. THE ISTHMUS OF SUEZ CANAL.—Mr. Alfred Christian, president of the Chamber of Commerce of Malta, delegated by the Chamber to represent the commercial com munity of this island at the congress of delegates invited by M. F. de Lesseps to inspect the works of the Isthmus of Suez Canal, has just returned to Malta. The journey through the isthmus occupied about ten days, during which time the delegates had every opportunity of inspecting the works in progress and of conferring with the engineers and other officers belonging to the company. The conclusion Mr. Christian arrives at is that the completion of the ship canal is only a question of time and money, and that in a very few years the communication from sea to sea for vessels of large tonnage will be established, thus uniting the West with the East by an uninterrupted water route and shorten ing the sea voyage from Europe to India for steamers by fully one-half. It still of course remains an open question how far the canal will be useful to our sailing Indiamen, owing to the prevalent winds in the Red Sea. About 80 delegates, representatives of the various States and commercial com munities of Europe, Asia, and America, performed the journey through the isthmus, accompanied by M. de Lesseps and the principal officers of the company, to whom, we are informed, the delegates are greatly indebted for the courtesy invariably shown them, and for the readiness with which all their inquiries were answered. It is to be regretted that England was not represented at this very interesting meeting, Mr. Christian, as representative of Malta, being the only English commercial delegate present. The dele gates performed the journey from the Nile to Ismaila by the freshwater canal, and from Ismaila, to Port Said by the maritime (saltwater) canal. The boats were towed by camels and horses, and for a distance also on the maritime canal by steamers. After inspecting the works in progress at Port Said the - delegates returned again south, sailing back to Ismaila with a fresh northerly wind. The maritime canal is not at present navigable for boats beyond Ismaila; the remainder of the journey therefore to the Red Sea had to be performed by the freshwater canal. This latter canal takes its source at the Nile, close to the town of Zagazig, and runs nearly duo east through the once fertile land of Goshen until it reaches lsmaila: at about two miles from the latter town it branches off to the southward, leaving Lake Limsah and the Aitter Lakes on the east, and joins the Red Sea at Suez. Ismaila is a flourish ing and picturesque little town of 3,000 inhabitants, situated in the centre of the isthmus, 75 kilometres from Port Said, midway between the two seas at the north end of Lake Timsah, and owes its existence to the works of the canal. The width of the maritime canal varies at present, according to localities, from about 16 to 58 metres, except in the immediate vicinity of Port Said, where 1 it attains 84 metres. Its average depth at present is not more than from 2to 3 feet. The depth of the freshwater , canal is much the same at present as that of the maritime canal, but, of course, it is deeper during high Nile ; its width varies from about 16 to about 25 metres. The com pany, we understand, have contracted with various French firms for the completion of the whole of the works from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea by the Ist of July, 1868, at ceeding the subscribed capital of 8,000,000 sterling. datan these points, however, Mr. Christian o w p e h i n c e h d t d a o t n a e v t h i g e a t c i o o n m , pa n a y o o e e x t p t e o c t t h t e h e a h t a r t e h h e o l c d a e n r a s l notwill eoxbe had not sufficientaii Times , to enable him to form an accurate op inion. —M May 4.

The long interregnum was devoted to mourning and lamentation for Abraham Lincoln ; a mourning as sincere as it was universal, and highly creditable to the good heart as well as the intelligence of the people. Few kings or em perors who ever lived have been so honoured in their hour of death as the honest man, rail-splitter, shopkeeper, and village attorney, twice elevated by the votes of his fellow-citizens into political equality with the most powerful Sovereigns of the world. The agricultural and hard-labouring free holders, who form the bone and sinew as well as the vast majority of the nation, had a pride in him, not only because their suffrages made him what he was, but because he possessed the rough but kindly common sense and sturdy honesty of purpose which are in the main the chief characteristics of their own class. He was neither better nor worse than them selves, and bore himself bravely, innocently, and yet shrewdly, through difficulties and temptations greater than ever before assailed an American Pre sident. Had he outlived his second term he would, like his predecessors —most of them men of more brilliant capacity than himself —have gone quietly down into the place from which he had as cended, a man of the people once more, neither higher nor lower than his neighbours, and have left behind a name which, whatever future ages might have done to honour it, would not in all probability have ranked very high in the estimation of his con temporaries. But the manner of his death became his apotheosis ; and to all future time in America the tall form of Abraham Lincoln will stand out in heroic relief on the broad canvas of history, his head encircled with the aureole of martyrdom, second in the reverence of the public to none but ,George Washington. The procession that accompanied his remains on Tuesday, after they had lain in state for 24 hours and been visited by fully 100,000 people, to the rail way terminus, whence they were to be transported to Albany, was the most imposing ever seenin America. It took four hours to pass a given spot, marching , slowly to the beat of muffled drums, or to the " Dead March" in Saul. There was not much in the process sion itself to appeal to the imagination 7 -nothing but its vast numbers, and the almost breathless silence imposed by their own sadness upon the half million of bystanders who lined the long streets and avenues through which it made its melancholy way. Every head was uncovered as the funeral car rumbled through the streets. These were all hung with fune real drapery, and emblazoned with mortuary inscrip tions setting forth the virtues of the dead, the sor row of the nation for his loss, or the undying con fidence of the people that although he had departed to his heavenly home, the principles that animated him when living survived in the hearts and the con victions of his countrymen. The immense prepon derance of women —or, as they are always called in America, " ladies"—among the crowd, could not fail to be remarked by every spectator, though possibly the preponderance was more apparent than real, inasmuch as the American lady, whether na tive born or fresh from the shores of the Emerald Isle, always takes the front place vi et arinis,.if it be not gracefully and willingly conceded to her. One little episode of the procession was significant. The Irish members of the Corporation of New York, who had the management of the civic preliminaries, with the strong dislike which the Irish as a body so unaccountably entertain towards the negroes, had refused permission to a coloured deputation to take a place in the line, on the plea that the numerous Irish benevolent and other societies would be offended by their companionship, and might r esist it. The decision was overruled by Mr. Stanton, who. telegraphed from Washington that the negroes had taken part in the funeral rites in that city, and strongly recommended that they should not be de nied the same privilege in New York. In conse quence of his mandate the negroes were admitted to the rear of the procession to the number of about 250, all well dressed in black. In Broadway their presence excited but little notice or comment, but in the aristocratic Fifth Avenue,where are the man sions of all or most of the millionaires of the trade and commerce of New York, they no sooner ap peared than as if by preconcerted arrangement they were greeted with a perfect furore of applause. The ladies at the windows and balconies waved their handkerchiefs, and in some instances flung flowers in their pathway. The " American citizens of African descent" were somewhat astonished at this sudden popularity, as well they might be, remembering, as many of them must have done, that they still labour under social ban and exclusion, and that less than two years ago men of their colour were hung to lamp-posts or beaten to death by enraged mobs, in the very streets through which they now passed in triumph, for no other crime than the blackness of their cuticle. Negroes, however, are not deeply rea soning philosophers. They took the compliment paid them, and were evidently pleased with it. The capture of the assassin Booth and one of his accomplicees has had a soothing effect upon the public temper. At first there was a general feeling of disappointment that he had not been taken alive, and that a more theatrical death than hanging had been inflicted upon him without the preliminaries of a public trial and sentence. But to-day the feeling has to some extent subsided, and it is considered that the trial of the meaner murderers, his accomplices, three of whom are now in custody—Payne, who attempted the cowardly assassination of Mr. Seward ; Harrold, arrested with Booth; and a third, named Asteroth, who was palpably acquainted with Booth's design, if he did not actually aid in its perpetration —will be conducted under calmer auspices than if Booth had either escaped altogether or been taken alive. i bii v dimobe andllmoep borne inde. aeee murdered edbecause orators w isfbcannotwhen ytoef aAweamiAme rican ‘ai the ioo l e k rbn.. It is time that the evil passions excited by this fiendish act should be allayed, and that men of authority and influence should do their utmost both by precept and example to discourage and denounce the vindictiveness which too generally prevails. The papers overflow with reports of personal violence offered to eminent citizens—not because they make ate rights is invaded by light of the assassination, which none but two or three drunken and silly or wholly insignificant per sons have done—but because before the assassination they may have expressed political opinions not in accordance with those entertained by their neigh they to b ittlhw o ooel u od r sh s ti‘ ,ter . hiaeo l :v: V h ytssrt eminent sit ielioelnlbndlngersoll, safetyce rtcomfortably ionflrle , oolof ff. publicists nsitoi people 'as ar t ilbiceoa about nt Government, litboerftll aoi on a thoughtch consider n shoulders d oe i t ur t d i tt s teher a t e , m h e bpo btu burden e s dtt t oeh b ne a s o personalt!, i l ho l e aboyNmbvw,e mobbed ehareeenaoenu courage resistedsapg p peaceable threatened,ep aearcinneadbthel eeditor,presencea assault him ; when such a man as ex-President Pierce is assailants intoandofonminly mind as r e ar s e hi a s s behaviour by a display of admirable ; and when there is a general tendency to violence and the gratification of private enmity, on the false pretence of patriotic enthusiasm, every good citizen ought scrupulously to beware lest he should help to fan the small fire of political hatred into a devastating blaze. April 29. Mr. Stanton announces this morning from General Grant, that the army of General Joseph E. Johnston surrendered on the 25th to General Sherman, on the same terms as those offered by General Grant to General Lee. There remains now to the Con federacy no army but that of Texas, whither it is supposed Mr. Jefferson Davis, under an escort of 2,000 Confederate cavalry, is proceeding by rapid marches. Possibly if the new President were by proclamation to offer to that army the same terms as those offered to the armies of Lee and Johnston, and be magnanimous enough to include Mr. Davis as Commander-in-Chief, it also might lay down its arms, and the American people of both sections, freed from the horrors of war, might begin the great and difficult work of reconstruction.

Beyond the Dee Stakes, for which we were promised a peep at Broomielaw, there was nothing particularly into resting in to-day's racing. There were only four starters for the Queen's Guineas, and old Stanton made most of the running, and won cleverly at last, despite an effort made by Yeatsall to reach him. Broomielaw, of course, came in for a grand inspection and a variety of criticism before his race. The general opinion was rather hostile to him than otherwise, as though a fine, powerful-looking colt, his style of going is awkward, and he was evidently very green. He ran all over the course in the race, and from Custance having to raise his whip after passing the Gros venor turn, a cry of " The favourite's beat!" was uttered by hundreds of tongues. But he only required calling upon, and Mr. Chaplin had the satisfaction of landing one of his high-priced colts an easy winner. We shall probably see him in better form on Epsom Downs. After the race 15 to 1 was taken about him for the Derby to a large amount. A good-looking coltand a fine move; Redan, won tke Beaufort Biennial easily for Lord St. Vincent ; and the Cestrian Handicap was a turn up for the fielders in the close victory of Lucy Long over the favourite Moulsey. There was a much-diminished attendance, and the sport was moderate. Marquis of Westminster's Plate, value 100 sous, added to a handicap sweepstakes of 10 sous each. Winners extra.

Yeatsall was the first away, followed by the favourite and East Lynn side by side to the Canal turn, where the latter quitted his companion and came on in attendance on the leader to the Grosvenor turn, where the pair were headed by Stanton, who came past the stand a length in advance of Mr. Wilkinson's colt, the pair running together to within half a mile of home, where the latter was beaten and dropped into the rear. At the turn into the straight Stanton was joined by Yeatsall, but shaking him off as they came on, he won very easily.

Betting-5 to 4on - Broomielaw, 4to 1 agst Argences, and 6 to 1 agst Joker. At the second attempt Joker, with the favourite and Argences side by side, got away in advance, but after run ning a few strides King Arthur went to the front, and came on with a clear lead of Joker, close in whose wake were the favourite and Breffni, Flying Horse and Argences being the two last. Passing the stand the lot closed up, and ran in company to the Canal turn, where Joker and favourite headed the Middleham colt and came on together to the half-mile post, where they were joined by Argences. From this point the three ran in company to the straight, when Broomielaw took a decided lead, but running raw, green, and unkindly he was caught at the distance by Argences, but Custance in the most vigorous manner stuck to his horse, and keeping him straight won at last by two lengths ; five lengths between the second and third, and three lengths separated third and fourth. The Cestrian Handicap of 100 sovs, added to a sweepstakes of 5 sovs each. Winners extra. Six furlongs. 41 subs. Mr. R. Law's Lucy Lang, 3 yrs, Gst 91b (inclu. 71b ex. (Carroll 1 Mr. T.

A few faint notes of discord have mingled with the jubilant strains in which the Dublin press has celebrated the opening of the International Exhibi tion. Some of the journals .complain that the Prince of Wales drove to the Exhibition Palace in a close carriage, thus disappointing the multitudes who waited to see him and to cheer him as he passed. They describe the eager crowds that thronged the leading thoroughfares, the large flags that waved from windows and housetops, the number of private carriages, cabs, and jaunting cars filled with sight seers along the principal streets, the windows and balconies crowded with ladies and gentlemen, the long line of vehicles of all sorts in the park, stretch ing from the Viceregal Lodge almost down to the Dublin gate, all waiting for the Prince, who was ex pected to come forth in an open carriage, to be looked at and applauded while passing slowly on his way to the Exhibition. But the patient multitude were bit terly disappointed. The Prince, hoping for better weather, did not start till an hour beyond the time he was expected. At length the military outriders announced the approach of the royal party. It occu pied four carriages, the first two of which were occupied by the attendants of the Prince of Wales and the Lord-Lieutenant, and the two latter by the Prince of Wales, the Lord-Lieutenant, the Duke of Cambridge, the Prince of Leiningen, Major-General Sir G. Brown, Commander of the Forces, and Major-General Ridley. A numerous escort of the 10th Hussars (the late Prince Consort's regiment), under the command of Colonel Elrington, preceded andfollowed the Royal carriages, which were driven with such rapidity that almost before the Prince was recognised he was gone, and the cheers that were bursting forth enthusiastically died away before they had gathered strength. But heads were unco vered, hats and handkerchiefs were waved, and loud huzzas followed the cortege as it passed rapidly along from the dense multitude lining the streets and crowding the balconies and windows. The arrangements that led to the disappointment have been severely censured. The Prince, however, came to perform a special duty on behalf of the Queen, not to enjoy an ovation which would be felt to be unseasonable when a telegram might reach him at any moment announcing the death of the King of the Belgians. Happily, nothing has occurred to mar the effect of the royal visit. There was in the city yesterday but one feeling about the inaugural ceremony and about the Prince's language andbear ing. That feeling was one of intense gratification. All classes alike exult in the magnificent display of May 9, which will be long marked in our calendar as one of the proudest and most auspicious in the history of the country. The best face was put upon everything when the Exhibition made its first public appearance, but yesterday it was again in deshabille, like a lady the morning after a ball. Some of the decorations were removed ; men were engaged i n h ang i ng pi c t ures ; the exhibitors were comp l et i ng their arrangements and dressing their cases a r ti st ically—thefew of them who were able to resist :the temptation of going to the review in the park. It will require some weeks to adjust everything, so that the committees and exhibitors may repose and admire the work of their hands, or enjoy what they have all done so much to deserve—the admiration of the public. The Exhibition was open yesterday for the first time to ordinary visitors, the charge being ss. The weather was wet and gloomy, and the sculpture and pictures were seen under unfavourable circum stances. The committee have arranged with the railway companies to organise excursions, and parties with excursion tickets, living 20 miles from Dublin, will be admitted at half-price. A large number availed themselves of these oppor tunities yesterday, and, among others, about 200 persons from the Isle of Man, who were admitted at 2s. 6d. each. The organ is still unfinished, and in ' the various departments the resources of the Exhi bition are but partially developed. Visitors coming into the building for the first time hasten through the courts, and rest satisfied with a bird's-eye 'view of their contents, postponing a more leisurely and critical study of the art trea sures collected for their instruction. The sculpture placed in the pillared hall, opposite the principal entrance from Earlfort-terrace, is the first to arrest attention. The general arrangement of the statues andpictures has been intrusted to Mr. Henry Doyle, who performed a similar duty so creditably in the Exhibition of 1863. Lord Southwell, Mr. Kirk, and Mr. Mulvany render valuable assistance in this work, and are indefatigable in their exertions. In the group of statues are many works of exquisite beauty, but there are two which at once arrest at tention and extort adoration—" The Sleeping Faun and Satyr," by Miss H. Hosmer, and Mr. Storey's " Judith." It is a curious fact that amid
