Landau and Co., at Alex lo tici rbt, in additi on t o it s regu l ar banking operations, has :flg enjoyed an ex t ens i ve connect i on w i th producers and 'P:niers of produce in Egypt. This business has always Yielded most favourable results; and no better proof of this can be given than the fact that the firm, during the whole 11l its existence, as well as the other banks lately established Egypt, have experienced an absolute immunity from loss .n their transactions of this class of bnsiness. The daily increasing trade of Egypt with Europe, espe ,elally with England, is also a sure guarantee for the en ',Mood future success of this Company; the profits hitherto realised by Messrs. Landau and Co. are alone sufficient to Yield a largo return upon the capital proposed to be called Sip; and the several partners of the Firm, in order to show their confidence in the future success of the Company, have taken a large number of Shares, and will continue in the active management of the business at Alexandria. The Bank has also secured the co-operation, as a Direc ttor, of Mr. Bravay, whose exertions will be especially. de hted to the exte ns i on o f the Bank's relations with Ve Egyptian Government, a class of transactions in which he has hitherto engaged, with very successful results. 0:11.6 amal gamated establishments pr o p ose liquidating all el!. present transactions up to the date of amalgamation.

GUIDE TO TIIEQUACKS OF LONDON, A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the" ,tedical Circular," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet The realer of " t'unch" should read this pamphlet also. He has often read, in the pages of "Punch, " of certain Quacks, frau dulent and noisome, who obtain money by false pretences, and more money by menaces and extortion. from green young min. For their names, which "Punch" would not advertise, he has refereed his readers to the lowercorner of the advertisin.; columns of low newspapers, amongst which too mat.) , of Mr." Punch's" contemporat les, especially in the country, may still be enumerated But now he begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list of these inifcreants, with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, n• edfut to be ',flown, will be found in the pamphl t above referred to, which is entitled "Revelations of Quacks an I Quackery," and is to be had at the " Medical Circular " Office, 20, liing William-street, Strand, W.C. The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous gins of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to the causation of suicide, are wily set forth in " Revelations of Quacks ar'd Qackery." And mark especially that, as aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are publishe 1. The pamphlet lu question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory, bl consulting which every young man may know where he may go if he w6hes to g et 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. Of course 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 t''is 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. - - - OPEN EVERY NIGHT at Eight, and Saturday after noon at Three, with Colond STODARE'S entirely New Entertainment, MAGIC and VENTRILOQUISM.

Yesterday and to-day the same deep and earnest feeling prevailed, and even the news of the capture of Mobile and the surrender of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston and his army to Gen. Sherman, which at any other time would have driven the people frantic with joy, fell upon inattentive and preoccupied minds. Of what avail were victories when he who had patiently organised them was not alive to know of the triumph? Of what use was Mobile when Abraham Lincoln lay in his bloody shroud ? And who cared for Johnston and his army when the greatest rebellion and the greatest war in history had culminated . in the greatest crime that had ever afflicted a people ? At the first shock of the calamity there was an uneasy, widespread, and, irrepressible doubt whether the necessary installation of Vice-President Johnson as successor to Mr. Lincoln was not an additional drop of gall in the overflowing cup of the national sorrow. But the impression gradually wore off. Mr. Johnson was de jure and de facto the Presi dent. He had made an unseemly exhibition of himself, it is true, before the Senate and the world on the 4th of March ; but people argued that he was never known to be a lover of strong drink ; that he might have been in temporary ill health, and been affected by a' slighter stimulant than under ordinary circumstances would have left any p er .. ceptible trace in his speech or manner, and that it was harsh to visit any man with condign punishment for so venial an offence as the taking of an extra glass, more especially when the offence was not habitual and was not likely to be repeated. There was a talk for awhile that General Grant ought to be proclaimed Dictator, but it scarcely outlived the day of the national tragedy ; and all men—even the bitterest opponents of Mr. Johnson—reconciled themselves to the duty and necessity of quietly accepting him as the constitutional chief magistrate of the Republic, and of according to him in his diffi cult and delicate position the fullest confidence and support. General Warde, with a view of giving the troops a greater extension of privilege from barracks, has issued an order that in future the tattoo will beat off at half-past nine, instead of nine, as heretofore, the rolls to be called in barracks at ten, and lights to be extinguished at half-past ten. Naval and Military Intelligence. Mr. Brown, a junior clerk in the Royal William Victualling-yard, was drowned near the eastern entrance to Plymouth Sound on Friday afternoon, during a sudden squall. The deceased and Mr. Gibson had hired a boat of a waterman, who was in it with them. After she upset the three kept themselves afloat by holding fast to the oars and loose spars for three-quarters of an hour, until assistance arrived, when it was found that Mr. Brown was dead. The following appointments were made on Satur day at the Admiralty :—Cyril W. Newall, naval cadet, to the Caledonia ; William C. E. Baker, second master, additional, to the Narcissus ; Joseph F. Atkinson, master's-assist., to the Sphinx ; Allen C. Denness, Chas. Webb, and Reginald F. Yonge, master's-assists., to the Terrible. Admiral Yelverton, C. 8., will probably hoist his flag on board the iron cased ship Caledonia, 31, Capt. the Hon. F. A. C. Foley, at Devonport, in about three weeks. Shortly afterwards the vessel will sail for the Mediterranean to complete the Admiral's three years on that station. He joined the. Revenge April 24, 1864. The fittings of the Revenge will, it is understood, be turned over to the Caledonia. The crew of the Revenge, 600 men, who received wages to the extent of £lO,OOO, were paid off on Wednesday in about an hour and a half. Excepting the foulness of her bottom, which can be soon rectified, she is in good condition, and will pro bably take the place of the Blenheim, 60, at Pem broke. It is ramoured that after completing her time in the Mediterranean the Caledonia will be flagship in the British Channel. Her Majesty's paddlewheel frigate ' the Terrible, 21 guns, 1,850 tons, 800-horse power, having under gone extensive repairs both to the hull and ma chinery, and been fitted for the first division of the steam reserve at Sheerness was, in accordance with orders received from the Admiralty, placed in com mission on Friday last by the master in charge, Frederick Townsend, for Capt. Gerard J. Napier. The terrible is to be employed on the home station, and is ordered, in consort with the Sphynx, 6, paddlewheel sloop 1,061 tons, 500-horse power, to accompany the Great Eastern while laying the At lantic telegraph from the coast of Ireland to the coast of Newfoundland. The following officers have been appointed to and have joined the Terrible : Capt. Gerard J. Napier, Lieuts. S. R. Streatfield, H. A. Arundell, and F. J. Elliott ; Master F. Town send, Surgeon W. Fasken, Paymaster Thomas T. Wise, Chief Engineer Joseph Rollinson, Assistant- Paymastei German F. Mathew ; Midshipmen E. Battersby, A. W. Massy, A. E. Bancroft, and C. C.

The shipment of the Atlantic telegraphic cable on board the Great Eastern at Sheerness is being con ducted with the greatest despatch by the manufac turers, the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company (limited) (late Messrs. Glass, Elliott, and Co.), and it is thought that the work will befinished and the vessel in every respect ready to leave Sheer ness next month. THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA, (From the Times' CorresAndent.) NEW YORK, April 18. The little that is known of Mr. Johnson as a politican and statesman is not, it must be con fessed, reassuring. Unlike Mr. Lincoln, who was shrewd, sagacious, patient, and merciful, - Mr. John son, if he may be judged by his speeches prior and subsequent to the war, and during his recent admi nistration of the affairs of Tennessee, of which he was appointed the military Governor by the late President, is violent and unforgiving. With the pro verbial zeal of converts, he, who was once an ardent supporter of the Southern idea of State rights, is now the inveterate, it might almostbe said, the rabid enemy of them. He is also a sturdy, if not obstinate friend of the Monroe doctrine, and as such not to be so safely intrusted as Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Seward with the irritating question of the French in Mexico, and the establishment of a monarchy on the North American continent. But in his case, as in many others, the weighty responsibilities of high position may help to modify and cool down the prejudices that were comparatively harmless in the unofficial politician, but cease to be harmless in the Chief of the State. Mr. Johnson has a great opportunity. The rebellion is visibly moribund—and not likely to be revived, unless a truculent and remorseless sys tem of terrorism and vengeance be employed against the landed proprietors and most eminent men of the South. The path of Mr. Lincoln was in this re spect the path of safety. He never uttered a vin dictive word, never penned a vindictive sentence, against the Southern people, or any of their leaders civil or military. President Johnson should note the fact, and profit by it. And it is in this respect satisfactory to observe that the savage feeling ex pressed against the South as soon as the news of the murder of the President was received has greatly abated during the four days which have elapsed since its perpetration, and that there is a more ge neral, though not yet universal, disposition to en courage the hope that perhaps the awful crime was the act of insane or semi-insane individuals—and had no countenance or privity from any Southern statesman or official. It was certainly not to the interest of the South that so dartardly a blow should be struck ; and if the assassin or assassins should by any chance succeed in reaching the Southern lines, and be by the Southern people delivered up to the justice of the North, it would be a consummation at which every friend of the South, as well as every well-wisher to the American Union, would most heartily and unfeignedly rtjoice. Up to the time at which I write all efforts to arrest the man Wilkes Booth, who was certainly the as sassin of the President, unless the clearest seeming evidence of his identity be fallacious, have been in. vain. There was at one time an idea that he and , he alone committed the murder of the President, and the still more hideous attack--if anything more hideous than the assassination of Mr. Lincoln be possible—upon Mr. Seward, his son, and attendants; but it now appears that this could not have been the case. It is supposed that certainly two, and pro bably five or six people, were engaged in a conspiracy to simultaneously murder Mr. Lincoln, Mr. John son, Mr. Seward, Mr. Stanton, Mr. Welles, and General Grant ; and that their schemes were frus trated by accidental and unforeseen circumstances. Upon this subject all manner of contradictory ru mours, not worth repeating, are afloat. Had Mr. Johnson as well as Mr. Lincoln met his death at the hands of the conspirators the country might have been convulsed with anarchy in addition to grief, and the Government thrown open to the seizure of any bold soldier who might have been tempted by the prize. In case of the death both of President and Vice-President the election of succes sors to these officers devolves upon Congress, and not upon the people ; and had such an election been made amid the passions which the double murder would have provoked, there is no knowing to what deplorable lengths the public exasperations might have been carried before Congress could have agreed upon the candidates, and much reason to believe that under, such circumstances all eyes would have been turned towards Grant and Sherman as the only possible saviours of the country. It should be noted as among the remarkable mcir cumstances of the time, and as one that shows the abiding faith the American people mainta in in the stability of their institutions, that pre mium on gold rose nominallyabout although 20 per h o f t h e murder was fre s h in the public imagination, it fell on. Monday morn ingresumption of business t o near l y it on the partial this moment thg e the ent. o d at Saturday, when the news catas trophe. It should also be not ed that the British popu lation of Canada, New Brunswick, N ova S cot i a, and, in fact, of the whole of the propo se d B r iti s h A mer ican Confederation, w ith out waiting to hear cent. previoussove the closingor see what would be do ne •i n t h e States of the Union, convened publi c meet i ngs in all their prin cipal cities and t owns, and passed resolutions of rate,an price of theom but half per night of the condolence and sympathy with the American people in the hour of their great loss and affliction. They thus touched a tender chord in the American heart, and did more by that spontaneous act to silence for years to come the silly braggarts who now and then talk of invading or "annexing" Canada, than might have been accomplished by all the efforts of all the statesmen who ever took pen in hand either to argue the subject or to deprecate its discussion. Nor was the meeting of the British residents of New York i convened to-day at the Astor House by Mr. Archi bald, the British Consul, less gratifying to the Americans of all shades of politics, for the ready, cordial, and respectful sympathy displayed in the resolutions and by the several speakers who intro duced and supported them. A week ago the Anie . - ricans, in the hour of joy and victory, were a_old: vided people, split into parties and factions. unitedT To day they are united as they never were' before. Their grief for Abraham ijuicin has 1 made them but one family. Before the of him whom they look upon as the martyr tomb of ,their_f _or cause all minor differences have disappeared awhile. If they disappear wholly, and if in the chastening of their great misfortune they listen to the councils of wisdom a nd prudence, and find in their new President a man as honest, as sincere, as merciful, and as politic as he whom th ey h ave l ost, the blood o f the illustrious deed may yet bear pre cious fruit for the pacification and regeneration of America. A few minutes after midnight, on Friday, the 14th of April, the telegraphic wires announced to the people of America that the genial, kind-hearted, 1 honest Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, had been murdered in the theatre, and that his Secretary of State, Mr. W. 11. Seward, an old man, in his 66th year, lying on the bed of sickness, if not of death, had been fatally stabbed by the same or some other assassin. The few people who were stirring at the hotels and other places of public resort refused to believe the intelligence. The story was so improbable and so horrible that it was hard for any one to give it credence. Hundreds who heard of it went quietly to bed with the firm con viction that the morning papers would dispose of it as a fabrication as incomprehensible as it was atro cious. But in the newspaper offices on that melan choly night there were no doubts. The news was official, under the hand of the Secretary of War, and was corroborated by half-hourly and still more frequent telegrams from Washington from the re porters and correspondents of the various journals. The papers were all issued at too early an hour to convey the positive news of the President's death, but the details they furnished of the cruel catas trophe were too minute and exact to leave any room for hope that he could by any possibility survive. Before 9 in the morning it was known all over New York and other cities of the North that his spirit had fled, and that after the infliction of the fatal wound he had never spoken a word or opened his eyes, or given a sign of consciousness or even of life, except in the failing throbs of the heart, and the heavy breathing of a strong man wrestling with death. The people were stupefied with the horror of the announcement ; but in the course of a few minutes, as neighbour spoke with neighbour, and stranger with stranger at street corners and places of public resort, the stupor was succeeded by a stern, fierce, vindictive resolve to avenge the deed, not only upon the assassins and their accomplices, whoever they might be, but on the whole people of the South, in whose interest it was supposed the crime had been consummated. Ever since the surrender of Gen. Lee the thoughts of all, except a very few, had been turned towards peace and reconciliation, and the President had been urged, and if he had lived would doubtless have needed no prompting, to pursue a policy so congenial to his nature, to offer complete and generous amnesty to the whole South, from Mr. Jefferson Davis down to the last recruit in the Confederate army. But on Saturday morn ing no such feeling remained. People walked about with knitted brows and clinched hands as if each man felt an impulse to avenge by his own act the crime which had brought dishonour on the nation, and which might imperil the public safety by new and unforeseen complications. There was an almost universal inclination to attribute the murder to the plots of Southern emissaries—to the scoundrels who made raids from Canada upon Federal towns and villages, and who undertook to burn down the city. of New York, and but little or any desire to believe that no political party had employed or instigated the murderers. The craving for vengeance fierce and unreasoning was everywhere manifested. By one accord, and without any concerted action, the people closed their shops and places of business, and by noon the long line of Broadway was hung with festoons of mourning, from almost every house, for a distance of three miles. In the side streets and minor thoroughfares, all over the city, the popular grief was exhibited in the sain plain, unpretending AbrahamLineconianner ; and if Lincoln had been the imperial representative and heir of all the Empe rors and Kings that had ruled the world for a thou sand years, and ha d been as conspicuous for his illustrious birth a nd unquestionable power as for his virtue and goodness, his cruel and untimely d ea th could not have L bcen mourned with more spontaneous and deep-rooted affection. The ma nagers of the theatres a nnounced t hat there would be en o performances that night, nor until after the funeral. Wall-street suspended its traffic, and the brokers, merchants, gold speculators, bankers, and all the selfish multitude that haunt its busy purlieus gathered before the Custom-house to hear or to make speeches. One person who was silly or brutal enough to express satisfaction at the President's death narrowly escaped with his life from the blows of the bystanders, and had he not run for the first open door, and successfully closed it upon himself, and been barricaded in by the occupants, he would have beentorn in pieces by his pursuers. The speeches made were creditable to the hearts of the orators and to the American people, and. if they were at times a The Salamis, 2, paddle despatch vessel, Com mander Francis G.

This Company is formed for the purpose of transacting the safe and highly profitable business of Commission Mer chants and Financial Agents in connexion with the Trade and Commerce of the Ottoman Empire. TRADE OF THE EMPIRE. Throughout the greater part of the Empire the soil and climate permit of the almost inexhaustible production, in excess of the wants of the inhabitants, of those ordinary raw materials which form everywhere the great staples of food and manufacture. Grain, wool, cotton, hemp, hides, tallow, are produced in abundance; while in addition, Turkey yields in profusion those rarer articles of mer chandise, such as drugs, dyes, gums, fruit, vegetable oils, silk, sugar, and tobacco, which can only be abundantly and profitably produced under conditions of special advan tage of climate and geographical position. In the year 1860 it was estimated that the annual trade of Turkey with foreign countriesamounted to £48,000,000, and that between the Provinces to £24,000,000 ; giving a total of £68,000,000 per annum. Judging, however, from the increase of the trade between Turkey and. Great Bri tain during the past few years, this total must now be con siderably increased. In the year 1854 the imports and exports between Great Britain and Turkey (exclusive of Egypt) amounted to £6,251,131, and in 1859 to £9,620,536 —but in the year 1863, according to the last annual state ment published by the Board of Trade, they increased to £13,303,682. The trade between this country and Egypt has also risen from £11,118,922 in the year 1859, and £10,796,971 in 1861, to £21,006,964 in 1863, making a total between the Ottoman Empire and Great Britain alone of £34,310,646. This increasing trade is capable of almost indefinite extension. BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY. As Commission Merchant; the Company will receive, on the usual terms, consignments of goods for sale in English and Foreign markets, from merchants and others in the Ottoman Empire, as well as from merchants, ma nufacturers, and others in this country and abroad, for sale in Turkish markets, and will execute orders for their correspondents both in Western Europe and the Ottoman Empire. An important branch of the Company's business will consist in making Cash Advances to the native cultivators. The rate of interest usually paid for such loans is very high, ranging from 14 to 4 per cent. per month (from 18 to 48 per cent. per annum), the security consisting of stand ing crops, articles of value easily convertible, and, w h en required, responsible personal guarantee. On this subject much valuable information has been obtained from the English Consuls in Turkey, in reply to a recent circular despatch from his Excellency Sir Henry Bulwer, H.B.M. Ambassador at Constantinople. One of the inquiries directed by his Excellency was, "Do farmers borrow money com monly in anticipation of their crops? How are the ad vances secured, and are losses often incurred by the len der?" The folloWing are extracts from the official re plies : ADRIA_NOPLE.—Mr. Vich-Consul Blunt :—" Farmers quite frequently borrow money upon their crops. The or dhiary rate of interest is 2 per cent. a-month (24 per cent. per annum), and even higher than that. Often the money is secured by other responsible persons becoming security, and by pledges of personal property. Losses are seldom incurred by the lenders." ARTA.—Mr. Acting-Consul Caravias :—" The common rate of interest is 2 per cent. a-month. Such loans or ad vances are always secured on the crop, and losses are rarely incurred by the lenders." CAVALIA.—Mr. Vice-Consul Mating :—" From 15 to 80 per cent. are the rates of interest charged by merchants; the crop being pledged for the advanees, and the security valid, losses are seldom incurred. Money-lenders charge the peasantry 5 to 7 per cent. per month, and realise in this way enormous gains. CONS TANTINOPLE.—Mr. Consul-General Cumber bach :—" A farmer who requires money to carry on his pursuits, sells his produce before he realises it at a certain price ' which is always much below what he could obtain for it in the market ; and thereby loses on an average from 20 to 30 per cent., the usurer taking care, by giving him self a very large margin, to secure himself against even tualities. CYPRITS.—Mr, Vice-Consul White :—" The custom of borrowing money in anticipation of the crops is common. The rate of interest varies from 12 to 20 per cent. ; few losses are incurred." DARDANELLES,—Mr. Acting-Consul Roby :—" Far mers commonly borrow money in anticipation, and on security of their crops, 15 and even 25 per cent. interest being charged for a few months. The lender very seldom incurs any losses." DIARBEKEIR.—Mr. Consul Taylor :—Capitalists ad vance money on the crops, charging 2 to 3 per cent. inte rest per month ; losses are rare." GALLEPOLI—Mr. Acting Vice-Consul Whitaker : " As a rule the farmers in this province all borrow money on their crops ; even those who are wealthy, and have gold hoarded up, will borrow to defray the expenses of cultiva tion, rather than encroach upon their treasure. The rate of interest is generally 20 per cent., and the farmers are very well pleased to borrow at this rate. Losses must be very rare, as I have never either experienced or heard of others suffering any." JANINA.—Mr. Vice-Consul Stuart :—" Interest is 2i, 3, and 4 per per cent. a month. The advances are always secured upon the crops, and losses are but rarely incurred by the lenders." SALONICA.—Mr. Consul Wilkinson :—" Farmers bor row money in anticipation of their crops. The rate of in terest usually charged is seldom less than 20 per cent." SAYADA.—Mr. Consul Zarb :—" M oney is lent to the cultivators at the rate of 5 per cent. per month; the ad vances are always secured on the crops, and losses by the lenders are very rare." SMYRNA.—Mr. Consul Blunt:—" The native cultiva tors always require advances in anticipation of their crops, at a nominal rate of interest, say 11 to 2 per cent. per mouth, but it is actually more. The title deeds of the farm are transferred to the Turkish Court under the title of Istilall, or mortgage." TRIPOLL—Mr. Consul-General Herman :—" Almost the totality of them (the merchants) derive their chief sources of profit from lending money on pledges, on which they levy a rate of interest of 4 to 6 per cent. per month (48 to 72 per cent. per annum), and sometimes more. VOLO.—Mr. Vice-Consul Suter:—"Loans to the growers are securedtendedwit h b l y oss pl . edg4 h n e g ra th te e s p o ro f d in u th ce r , es a t n are d ar n e ev n e o r t loefstesnthaatn -12, and often more than 20 per cent. per annum:' As Financial Agents the Company will give its assist ance to the Ottoman Government in the promotion of re productive public works, conducing to the improvement of internal transit and the development of external trade, and act g enerally o g u e t n hceo era corpa l At l t y osmsn a oy ist s acin F aE in im an p c ire ial .
