On Wednesday, the day of the funeral at Washington, the streets of New York were nothing but parts of one immense catcrfalpte. A stranger sailing into the city across its beautiful bay might, if he had knOwn nothing of the awful tragedy of the 14th, have imagined at first glimpse of the thousands of flags flying from the multitudinous shipping in the Hudson and the East Rivers, from the spires of the churches, and from the housetops as far as the eye could reach, all clear and distinct against the clear blue sky of as lovely a spring morning as ever dawned upon the earth, that the day was one of rejoicing for some great victory, or the final restoration of Peace and Union. A second glimpse would have shown him his error, the flags were all half-mast high, and the red, white, and blue of the starry banner were fringed with funereal black. In the city itself every house was draped and hung with crape, or with festoons of white and black inter mingled, over doors and windows, and in many in. stances almost covering the whole façade of the building. The poorest hovel in the Irish and negro districts vied with the most magnificent mansions in the Fifth Avenue or Broadway, in the display of these trappings of woe. It looked as if the city had betti - smitten with a plague—as if in every house of that wilderness of human habitations there lay the corpse of a father, or of the eldest born ; and that people, like the Egyptians when similarly afflicted, were humbling themselves in sackcloth and in ashes, to petition the Divine Father of all mercy that His wrath might pass away, and that never again so heavy a hand might be laid upon them for their FLORAL HALL.—Over at 10.—Sup at EVANS' afterwards.—Do not forget.

Coles's system of shipbuilding went down to Woolwich yesterday, and inspected her Majesty's iron-cased cupola ship Prince Albert, 2,592 tons, in course of completion on that system. The committee consisted of the Earl of Lauderdale, C. 8., Rear-Admiral Hastings R. Yelverton, C. 8., Capt. Kennedy, Capt. Caldwell, C. 8., and Sir J. Phillimore. Capt. Coles was pre vented from being present by severe indisposition. The committee were received at the official quarters in the dockyard by the Superintendent Commodore Hugh Dui4op, C. 8., who was on the point of jom mencing his weekly inspection of the ships afloat in commission. Mr. G. Turner, the master shipbuilder, was therefore deputed to accompany the committee in their investigation, which they entered on without delay. They went on board the Prince Albert, in the inner basin, and instituted a most searching in quiry, which occupied upwards of two hours, into all the details connected with the new moat, of con struction, and made themselves acquainted with the revolving and working of the cupolas intended to protect the battery, gunners, &c. On leaving the dockyard, the committee proceeded to an inspection of Lieut.-Col.

A formal resolution approving the bill was seconded by Mr. Castleman and carried unanimously. The next bill was No. 5. It authorised the London and South-Western Company to make a - railwarfronrßideford to Great Torrington, and to raise £B,OOO on shares, and to borrow £26,600 for that purpose. The CHAIRMAN explained that the proposed line would form a junction with the Okehampton extension line from Bude to Torrington at the latter place, and moved a formal resolution approving the bill, which was seconded by Mr. Dutton, M.P., and carried unanimously. The next bill was No. 9, for authorising the Okehampton Railway Company to make a railway from Bude to Great Torrington. The South-Western Company subscribed no capital towards the undertaking, they were only autho rized to make working arrangements, and it was stated that this line would add to the traffic of the main line from the extreme west.

GUIDE TO TIIE QUACKS OF LONDON. A Series or Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the " sledical Cii cuter," 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 often read, in the pages of "Punch," of otrtain Quacks, frau dulent ani 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 refer' ed his readers to the lower corner of the advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of Mr. " Punch's' • contemporal les, especially in the country, may still be enumerated But now he begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list of these iiarcreauts, with copies of their puffs and other particulars Concerning them. n , edict to be ~nown, will be found in the pamphl t above rehrred to, which is entitled "Revelations of Quacks ani Quackery," and is to be had at the "Medical Circular " Office, 20, cing William-street, Strand, W.C. The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous gAns of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to the causation of suicide, are Tully set forth in " Revelations of Quacks a..d Qackery." And mark espec"ally that, as aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are publishel. The pamphlet 1., question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory. b, con ulting which every young man may know where he may go if he wt,hes to get plundered and destroyed Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy " Revelations of Quacks and Quackery." its contents will astonish and amuse whi e they invoke your indignation and disgust. 01 course you do 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.

Yesterday, at the Sheriffs' Court, Red Lion-square, be fore Mr. Undersheriff Burchell and a special jury, a case in the Common Pleas, " Steel v. Wood," created considerable interest. It was an action for an assault committed at Al dershot by Major Henry Evelyn Wood, son of Sir John Wood, on Major Charles Steel, son of the late Lieut.-Gen. Sir Scudamore Steel. Damages were laid at £5OO, and as defendant had suffered judgment to go by default, a writ of inquiry was executed to assess the amount to be awarded. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, with whom was Mr. C. Pollock, appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Bushby for defendant. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, in opening the case, regretted the necessity he felt in bringing it before the public. A public outrage had been committed on his client, and as Major Wood, who, besides being the son of Sir John Wood was nephew of Vice-Chancellor Wood, had refused to make an apology (and even now he would accept one with nominal damages), and as he had been refused a court martial, he was for the sake of his character obliged to bring the case into court. Major Steel had, in 1858, mar ried the sister of the defendant, and she soon afterwards left her husband's house. There was no moral imputa tion on Major Steel, but she had absented herself, and he had been most anxious for her return. In December, 1863, at the time of the court-martial on Colonel Crawley at Aldershot, the plaintiff met his wife there and a young gentlemen with her. He asked the name of the young gentleman, and he appeared to be Major Wood. The plaintiff went up and asked his wife to speak to him, hold ing out his hand. She refused, and the defendant prevented her. He followed towards thb cabstand, wishing to ascer tain the residence of his wife, and the defendant struck him two or three blows in his face and his nose bled. For this outrage on a brother officer in public an apo logy was demanded, and had been several times refused. Major Steel, who had been in the Lancers and Hussars, had been refused a court-martial because he was on half-pay, and had been obliged to come into court to establish his character before the public. It was ex plained that the action had not been tried sooner from the illness of the plaintiff and the recent death of his father, after which event notice had been given by his attorney, Mr. Henry Berry. The learned sergeant stated that the plaintiff had served in India, and that the de fendant was a distinguished officer might be inferred from the fact that he had obtained the Victoria Cross. The plaintiff and a cabman were called in support of the opening statement. Two or three blows were given, and the plaintiff said without provocation the defendant struck him in the face two or three blows which made his nose bleed, and then jumped into a cab, in which he had placed his sister. Re (plaintiff) put his foot on the cab, and the defendant said, "I shall strike you again, and that will be a bore." (Laughter.) The defendant, Lieutenant Mansell, Sergeant Lynch, and two privates in the same regiment, the 73d, were called in mitigation of damages. Tho defendant and the other witnesses stated that the plaintiff impeded his way with his sister, and was cautioned several times. When his sister got into the cab the plaintiff pressed forward, and withhis left hand he (the defendant) gave him a "feeler," expect ing it would bo returned, an d he co uld then use his right ,‘ f ee l e r" was the lang uage use d i n th e he had learnt from " Boxiana," a work hand.prize ring, n T g h , e w w h o i e r h d on the prize ring. (A laugh.) He certainly only struck one blow and that not a severe one. On the part of the defendant it was contended that the blow had been well earned by the plaintiff, who had tried to recapture his wife, adopting the custom among some wild Indians. It was simply a case for the smallest damages. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine commented in strong terms on what he called the wrong-headed obstinacy of the defen dant, who had committed a public outrage on a brother officer, and refused to apologise. Major Steel had been obliged to come before the public , . It was a case for sub stantial damages. on whether part the e mode f tu Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell, placing tn.,' case before the jury, told them it was their provi nce t o asseb.l q the addaemaptgedest.o claim saywashnieot.,iviffoerwhaismprutodent u plaintiff, but the blow in such a place wax Tory ea".

The work performed by the company during the year ended the 31st of December last consisted principally of the manufacture of the Atlantic cable, fitting out the Great Eastern steamship, and conveying the cable on board, preparatory to the laying expedition, which was to start in the month of July next. The profit and loss account for the year included in the gross profit the sums paid for the quantity of Atlantic cable manufactured—viz., 768 miles, at the mileage rate agreed upon, one half in cash and the remaining half in debentures and shares of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, In addition to the price per mile, this company would be entitled to a largo sum in cash and shares upon the successful laying of the cable. The board had made an arrangement with the directors of the Great Eastern Steamship Company for the payment of the sum agreed upon for the hire of the vessel in shares of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, but the amount was pay able only in the event of the cable being successfully laid. The outlay incurred in fitting out the Great Eastern up to the 31st of December last, amounting to £15,714, had been carried to a suspense account until the cable" was laid. Tho accounts for the year showed a gross profit of £148,927 ; and the expenses £46,627, leaving a net profit of £102,300. The interest on the unpaid purchase-money, £26,777, and the interim dividend on capital, at 5 per cent. per annum, to the 30th of June, 1864, £5,734, together £32,511, being deducted, left a balance of £69,789. From this the direc tors proposed to write off the whole of the preliminary expenses, £3,174, to pay balance of interest on paid-up capital at 5 per cent. per annum, £5,734 ; and 10 per cent. to the credit of a reserve fund, £6,088, together £14,996, leaving a balance of £54,793, subject to the realisation of the securities received in part payment of the Atlantic cable, and also subject to the contingent charge. The directors recommended the payment of a dividend to the 31st of December last of 5 per cent., which, with the inte rest at 5 per cent. per annum, would be equal to 10 per cent. per annum (free of income tax) on the paid-up share capital, leaving a balance of £43,325.

COBDEN'S LAST ILLNESS.—From February to April, after several weeks of arctical weather, the north-east wind had areign of terror; and, amidst thousands of victims, slew a man whose name was so familiar on the tongues and types of his generation, that this spring will be signalled out as the spring in which Richard Cobden died. Every home in which there was an invalid looked forward to the cessation of the cruel and poisonous winds which prevailed, to set up the sufferer. In Sussex, among the Downs, and along the shore, in the first week of February, the snowdrops and crocuses glinted up in the gardens, and the skylarks, with beating wings and ecstatic carols, mounted straight up into the sky. Polyanthuses, anemone hypaticas, and blue and purple anemones, bloomed in the middle of the month, The first of the foreign singers, the chaffinch, came and warbled beautifully on the top twigs of leafless trees. Tho greater titmouse made himself heard about West Sussex homes by his two rasping notes, which seem borrowed from the whetting of a scythe. Where there were many trees and shrubs, amidst chirps and warblings, the tree-larks trilled, the thrushes whistled, and sanguine sufferers from bronchitis believed their throats had escaped from the gripe of this deadliest of the garotters. Relying on the apparent arrival of spring, Mr. Cobden, one of thousands of invalid prisoners during the winter, left his sheltered home at Dunford among the Downs, where "he had waited for finer weather," and whilst travelling to London was caught by four degrees of frost. Never strong, overworked all his life, often wounded in political strife, never having recovered the loss of his only boy, in his public zeal addressing his constituents late in the year, and leaving his home too early in the spring his to speak in Parliament, the cold overpowe red the heat m overworn frame, and on the sunny b ut chilly morning of ihe 2d of April, while the church b e lle_were ringing, ' Cobden was expiring in his chambers in Suffolk- Dickens's " All the Year &mei" RicharL, ;tree; Loudon, . The sailing ship Middlesex, 1,200 tons, Com mander J. Cammell, R.N.R. (belonging to Mr. George Marshall, of London), arrived at Spithead on Wednesday morning from India, with officers and men invalided from her Majesty's army in India, private passengers, and a general Indian cargo on board for London. Mrs. Colonel Taylor died on the passage home. The Middlesex sailed from Calcutta on the 20th of January, passed the Cape on the Bth of March, arrived at St. Helena on the 22d, and sailed again on the 24th. Beautiful weather was experienced throughout the voyage. The sailing ship Agamemnon, 1,450 tons, Com mander Marder, R.N.R. (one of Messrs. Green's ships), arrived at Spithead on Wednesday morning from India, with the headquarters of the 17th Lancers on board and a few time-expired men from regi ments serving in India. The Agamemnon had, however, scarcely anchored at Spithead before she received orders by the cutter belonging to Lloyd's agent at the port, Mr. James Garratt, to proceed on her voyage to the Thames, and land her troops at Gravesend, and consequently she sailed again immediately. The Agamemnon sailed from Bombay on the 21st of January, and from St. Helena on the 20th of March. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commander W. C. Chapman, to the Winchester ; George Sullivan, first-class assist.-engineer, to the Cumberland, for the Belle rophon ; John E. Cooke, clerk, to the St. Vincent ; and James Lyon, assist.-clerk, to the Impregnable. The Assassination of President Lincoln. A public meeting of the working men of London was held last evening at St. Martin's-hall, Long acre, to adopt an address of condolence to Mrs. Lincoln and to the people of the United States of America. Mr. T. B. Potter, M.P., presided, and the meeting was addressed by Mr. George Potter, a delegate and leader of the Trades' Unions ; Mr. Leicester, a glassworker ; Mr. Osborne, a working man ; Mr. Mason Jones, the Rev. Newman Hall, Mr. Beale, and others. An address to Mrs Lincoln expressive of the indignation and grief with which the working men of London had received the intel ligence of the atrocious deed that had at once de prived her of her natural protector, and the Ameri can people of an able, honest, and truthful President, and offering her the heartfelt and sincere sympathy of the meeting in her present profound affliction, was agreed to. A hope was expressed that while mourning her loss she would feel some consolation in the fact that her late husband was looked up to by the working men of all countries as their champion, and though cut down in the hour of triumph, he yet lived long enough to see the dawn of negro emancipation rising rapidly before him. A resolution was also passed by which, while expressing sympathy with the people of America for the great loss they had sus tained, the meeting offered their congratulations on the decisive successes which had lately attended the Federal arms, affording a just hope of a speedy sup pression of the rebellion, and the entire extinction of slave institutions. An address to the President, Go vernment, and people of the United States was then, in accordance with the terms of the resolution, unanimously adopted. At the public meeting held on Wednesday in the Music-hall at Edinburgh, with reference to the mur der of President Lincoln, briefly referred to in 7he Sun of yesterday, the speakers were Mr. Sheriff Gor don, Mr. Duncan M‘Laren, Sir John M'Neill, Bishop Morrell, the Rev. William Arnot, Professor Simpson, and the Rev. W. H. Gray. At Sheffield, on Wednesday, a meeting of the Town Council was held, at which various resolu tions were passed. An address• to Mrs. Lincoln, expressive of sorrow and sympathy, and signed by the Mayor on behalf of the meeting, was approved and ordered to be transmitted to her. Meetings, convened by the Mayors, at which simi lar resolutions were adopted, have been held at York, Birmingham,Blackburn, North Shields, Sunderland, Liverpool, Chester, Southampton, Dover, Colches ter, and Newport. The merchants of Cardiff have signed an address which they have handed to the con sul at the port. At the meetings of the Commis sioners of Supply for Lanarkshire, Forfarshire, Aber deenshire, Roxburghshire, &c., resolutions have also been passed expressive of sorrow and sympathy. An address from the Greek merchants in London with 130 signatures, expressing the horror and abhorrence with which they have heard of the crime, and their prayers for the prosperity of the United States, has been forwardedto the American Minister in London. THE ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN. — A painful interest is new attached to the following paragraph, which appears in the Evening Bulletin of San Francisco in its issue of the 24th of February, under the heading of "A wicked jest."—" The Selma (Alabama) Dis patch publishes the following as an advertisement :—" One million dollars wanted to have peace on the Ist of March. If the citizens of the Southern Confederacy will furnish mo with the cash or good securities for the sum of ono million of dollars, I will cause the lives of Abraham Lincoln, Wm. H. Seward, and Andrew Johnson to be taken by the Ist of March next. This will give us peace and satisfy the y. world that tyrants ca nnot live in a land of lib erty. Ifthis is not accompl ished nothin g will be claimed beyond th sum of $50,000 in advance, which is supposed to be neces sary to reach a nd slau g hter the three v i llains. I willgiveE,rm myse lf $l,OOO towards this patriotic purpose. w i s hing to contribute will address Box X, C whether ari this ehabit, A v l e lh y one a. Alabama. —Dec. I,n correspondent "he has The made ettiohne nfion, w d remarks the adver tisement, esteemed by the editor of the Bulletin as only a "wicked jest," was not in sober reality the serious proposal for a murder which the language used imports. It is a curious coincidence that Wilkes Booth immediately after murderingcontained in theNr.lAincoln shameful applied to hi men m t, the word tyrant which, it will be of S observed, contemplates the d ea th point of fact, been all but manilla ted e a wu as well who ellasth ha e Pre sident It would have been better, perhaps, if one funeral ceremony had been made to suffice; and if the good President had been interred under the dome of the Capitol of Washington as Wellington was under the dome of St. Paul's. But it was otherwise decided, mainly by the representations made to the afflicted widow by some influential people from Illinois who happened to be in Washington on the day of the murder, and who urged that Abraham Lincoln be longed to Illinois, and ought to be buried at Spring field among his own people, and in the little town where he practised Jaw and won his way to emi nence. These counsels prevailed, and the body, with a long funeral cortege, is to make a tour of the country for upwards of 1,500 miles—from Wash ington to Springfield—and to lie in state at all the principal cities on the route, New York included. Though many arrests have been made, Booth has so far succeeded in eluding all pursuers, and there is as yet but scanty and unsatisfactory evidence to prove that any of the real conspirators are in cus tody, or that there were any conspirators at all, ex cept Booth and the cowardly ruffian who stabbed the helpless Secretary of State and crushed the skull of Mr. Fred. Seward, when endeavouring to protect his father. Rewards amounting in the aggregate to upwards of $lOO,OOO, have been offered for the ap prehension of both or either of the wretches, and unless they evade justice by the commission of suicide America and Europe will be too small to conceal them. Booth's face and person are well known to thousands of playgoers in most of the cities of America, and not the most ingenious of theatrical disguises, in all of which he is proficient, will be enough to screen him from the prying eyes which even without the incentive of a large reward would be sharpened to detect so heinous a criminal. If in the madness of his diseased imagination he relied upon the sympathy or approval of the South, and has made his way into Virginia, whose motto he has infernalised by adopt ing it as his vindication, he will find that the South as well as the North revolts with horror at his deed, and that the evil passions which the war has excited are not so evil as to make him other than what he is —the vilest assassin known to history, and one to meet the enormity of whose crime no punishment that man can inflict is adequate. Death is the utmost, and death to such a desperado, especially if it be made sufficiently solemn to afford him an opportunity of ending with a theatrical flourish and a display of stage heroism, may be the very fate he craves to hand him down to that immortality of in famy which seems to have had such a frightful charm to his perverted intellect. Slowly, but surely, the sensible people of both political parties are removing from their minds the suspicion that the assassination was other than the individual act of Booth, and one or two associates, whom by the magnetism of a strong will he had won over to his detestable purpose. In a letter, written by the assassin in November last, and left sealed and for safe keeping in the custody of his brother-in law—a Mr. John S. Clarke, and not opened by that gentleman until after the murder—Booth declares himself the enemy of Mr. Lincoln's policy, and the friend of the South and of Peace, states that the Federal flag seems to his eyes the emblem of tyranny and wrong, and its once bright red stripes " bloody gashes on the face of heaven." He also hints vaguely at some great purpose which he has in view, and signs himself " J. Wilkes Booth, a Confederate doing duty upon his own responsibility." So far from the bloody deed being in any way acceptable to the people of the South, or to those of the North, who desire the triumph of the Southern cause, it has been by none denounced with more earnestness of horror than by the people of Richmond and other captured cities, and, as far as is known, by the whole opinion of the South. General Lee was painfully affected when he heard the news, and Mr. Jefferson Davis will, there can be no reason to . doubt, when the sad information reaches him in his flight south wards from the pressing armies of Generals Sher man, Sheridan, and Stoneman, place upon record his detestation of the crime. Air. Johnson's address in reply to the new British Ambassador, Sir Frederick Bruce, has been received with great satisfaction, not only by the British resi dents in this city, but by the American public in general. "The interests of civilisation and humanity require," he says, " that the two nati ons (Great Bri tain and the United States) should be friends." Let but the new President act in this respect as he s p ea ks, and he will find that Great Britain by her statesmen, her people, and her Government will cul tivate the amity which he and they think so neces sary, and the rupture of which would be the greatest calamity that could befall the world. The absence of any confirmation of the reported surrender of General Joseph E. Johnston, so posi tively announced a few days ago, begins to excite uneasiness. It is asserted that his force has been augmented by many thousands who deserted or straggled from Lee's army before its surrender, and now numbers at least 50,000 men. In addi tion to this cause of disquiet it is known that Gene rals Kirby Smith, Stirling Price, and Magruder have at least 50,000 men in the great Trans- Mississippi regions of Louisiana and Texas. As Texas alone is as large as France and Belgium, is without navigable rivers or railroads, and by its configuration and internal resources is capable of defending itself for years against an invading army, deprived of the facilities which navigaye. streams have afforded the Federals in the hostilities of the last four years, it is possible that Mr. Jefferson Davis will endeavour to make his way to that coun try, as many suppose is his intention. Whether the Trans-Mississippian army will place itselfunder his orders for the continuance of the struggle or i n hi s default, whether Kirby Smith, Stirling Price, Mag ruder, or any other commander possesses da r i ng and energy enough to stake his life and fortune on so bold a venture remains to be seen.
