An adjourned special meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Euston Station ; Mr. R. Moon in the chair.

The Duke of Somerset, as First Lord of the Admiralty, held a-levee yesterday afternoon at the Admiralty, Whitehall. Among the officers pre sent were General Sir Charles Menzies, Vice- Admiral Sir John Kingcome, Vice-Admiral Charles Crowdy, Rear-Admiral Henry Edgell, Rear-Admiral Douglas Curry, Capt. A. M. Lyons, Capt. H. T. Burgoyne, Capt. Oliver J. Jones, Commander A. G. Wootton, Commander 11. M. Bingham, Com mander A. D. W. Fletcher, Commander G. F. Cot tam, Commander R. G. Tufnell, Commander G. G. Paterson, Commander W. F. Robinson, Commander B. Sharpe, Commander T. S. Gooch, Commander S. P. Townsend, Staff-Commander G. Wright, and Mr. W. C. P. Grant (paymaster). The 24th inst. will, by order, be observed as a close holiday in Portsmouth dockyard and the other naval establishments at the port in celebration of her Majesty's birthday. Three gangs of shipwrights are at present em ployed on board the iron frigate Warrior, in the steam basin of Portsmouth dockyard, giving her a new 4i-inch planking on each side of her main deck, fore and aft. The original si-inch planking amid ships on the sack deck will not be removed, but will be dubbed down to inches, the places where it is worn below the 4i inches being made good with inlet pieces of new plank. The wear of the planking on this deck, on each side and within the ship's armoured line, was considerable, and rendered the laying of a new deck necessary over this particular part of the ship's main deck. The wear of the planking was owing to the almost constant " dumb scraping" re quired for the sake of cleanliness, where some 700 men were berthed and messed between the guns. Foreward of the foremost athwartship armour bulk head, and abaft the after-armour bulkhead, on this deck, however—a very considerable space in each instance—there had been no such wear of the plank ing, but the same course is being followed through out, and the planking is being torn up in these un worn portions forward and aft of the line of armour plating. What gives a greater appearance of folly to this indiscriminate treatment of the sound and un sound portions of the ship's deck is that the excellent oak plank laid down by the Thames Ironworks Company when they built the ship is very superior to any planking now in store in Portsmouth dockyard. It is bare justice to the builders of the Warrior to observe here that the opening up of the Warrior's deck, to effect this renewal of its timber planking, has exhibited such excel lent qualities of material and of workmanship that it would be impossible to excel it. At the same time it illustrates the immense increase in strength given to a gun-deck by the iron frame of a ship, built as our iron ships are, as compared with the gun-deck of a screw wooden liner or frigate. Throughout the whole extent of the Warrior's gun-deck there is no sign of a drop of water having penetrated at any time through the seams or butts of her timber planking to the iron plating below, on which it was laid. The iron plating, with the removed rivets, and the beam edges, is also as fresh-looking as on the day it was put together. The Turretship Committee, with the Earl of Lauderdale as chairman, are continuing their in quiry, and h ave examined Capt. A s tl ey C. Key, C. 8., of her M a j esty ' s gunnery ship Excellent, and Mr. Scullard, c hi e f draughtsman o f P or t smou th dockyard, the d es i gner of Capt. C. P. C o les's pro posed seagoin g t urretship. The l at t er , i n hi s evi dence, was unfortunately not able to give answers to many questions put by the committee relative to the turrets and their guns, and it is still more un fortunate that Capt. Coles continues so ill at Vent nor that his attendance before the committee is for the present impossible, perfect quiet and rest being absolutely insisted on by his medical advisers. So far, however, as relates to the mere working of tur rets and their guns on board ship, the committee have invaluable evidence in the very complete report on the turrets and guns of the Royal Sovereign, drawn up by Capt. Sherard Osborn, C. 8., at the close of his command of that ship. The following is an extract from a letter written by an officer belonging to one of the ships compos ing Admiral Dacre's fleet which has returned from Lisbon : c 4 The Achilles is by no means a bad ship at sea. She lifts to a sea better than any other of the ironclads, and has a very Heady deck for her gun platform, only rolling 14 deg., to 26 deg. and 28 deg. of the Black Prince, the result of her fiat floor, which gives her steadiness. She is quick and handy under sail, and nearly as fast as the others, but she has a tendency to sit by the head, notwithstanding she has no guns in her ten foremost ports. The Prince Consort tried her guns when rolling 26 deg. The 68-pounders were just under control, but not so the Somerset gun, or 6-ton smoothbore gun, 'which has damaged its carriage and slide." If the Prince Consort's 6-ton guns were thus all but unmanageable with the ship rolling at 26 deg., what would she have done with 12 ton gun s moun ted on her broadside under like circumstances ? The scout, 21, screw steam corvette, which was commissioned on Monday last by Capt. Charles IL May, late of the Canopus, was taken out of dock to her moorings in Sheerness harbour after having had her screw propeller and valves examined and the bottom of the vessel cleaned. Several of the officers have been a ppointed and are j o i n i ng t h e s hi p. Sh e is intended for service on the Pacific station, and will have a complement of 275 men. The Serpent, 4 , screw steam gun vessel, Com was inspected on Tues . Fulford, of th e Cum berland flag ship, for Vice-Admir a l Si r Ch ar l es i d n a a y n l d a e s r t Charles arles Capt.J .CBhualrlloecsk Talbot, K.C.8., and left Sheerness on Wednesday morning for Portsmouth, en route for China and Japan, where she will be employed on the survey ing service. The Tartar, 20, screw steam corvette, 1,296 tons, 250-horse power, Capt. John M. Hayes from China, was on Wednesday paid out of commission by Capt. W. K. Hall, C. 8., Superintendent of Sheerness dockyard. The crew have been granted 28 days' leave. The Tartar was commissioned at Sheerness by Capt. Hayes, in August, 1860, for service in China, and has been employed on that station ever since her commission, where she has been actively employed, and done good service during the late war with China. The Tartar has been placed in the third division of the Sheerness steam reserve. The particulars of the number, weight, and de scription of the armament to be carried by the iron clad frigate Bellerophon, 16, 1000-horse power have been received at Chatham from the War Depart ment, and the necessary works are being executed on board preparatory to the guns being mounted. On the maindeck she will carry ten of the 12-ton 300- pounder rifle Armstrongs, and five of the 110- pounder rifled Armstrongs, two forward and three aft, one of the latter being mounted on a pivot gun. On the upper deck she will carry only one gun, a 40-pounder Armstrong, mounted under the fore castle. Yesterday the Bellerophon shipped her iron masts, which arrived at Chatham from the Wood side Graving Dock Company's Works, Birkenhead, where they were manufactured, in the Medusa, 4, 312-horse power, Master-Commander J. H. Allard. According to the existing arrangements she will be docked on Monday next, for the purpose of having the remainder of her armour-plates bolted to her sides, and to be equipped for sea, there being fully six months' work to be completed on board. The Martin, 12-gun boys' training brig, Lieut.- Commander the Hon. James T. Fitzmaurice, ar rived at Portsmouth on Monday from Devonport. The Martin has been recently attached to the Im placable, training ship for boys at Devonport, but has now exchanged stations with the Sealark, late tender to the St. Vincent, boys' training ship at Portsmouth. Yesterday morning a religious service was per formed on board the Russian flagship Alentider Newsky, in Plymouth Sound, in honour of the re mains of the Czarewitch. It was attended by Baron Brunnow, the Russian Ambassador, M. Sabouroff, secretary, and Mr. Luscombe, the Vice-Consul at Plymouth ; by Port-Admiral Sir Charles R. Fre mantle, K.C.B.,.Admiral Lessofsky, Admiral J. Symonds ; Lord Templetown, Commander of the Forces in the West ; Col. Owen, C. 8., R.E., Col. Millman, R.A., and other military commanders ; and by a number of officers belonging to the Rus sian, American, and British ships of war in port. The ceremony took place on the lower deck, in one portion of which, on the port side, the body of the Imperial Prince is laid in state. It is placed on a catafalque approached by three steps. The whole enclosed by rails, and draped with rich crimson velvet curtains edged with gold lace. The coffin ha s a velvet covering, ornamented with a profusion of flowers. The ceremony was performed by M. Papoff, the chaplain to the Embassy. Besides Gen. Annenkow there are on board the ship, in charge of the body, Gen. Ritter, aide-de-camp, the Prince's tutor and guardian, and Prince Bariatinsky, adju tant, his companion. The Russian squadron is ap pointed to leave Plymouth to-day. It will be 13 days on the voyage to St. Petersburg, viz.—five days on the passage to Christiansand, in Sweden, three days coaling, and five days passing through the Baltic and the Gulf of Finland. Major-Gen. Stransham, Inspector-Gen. of Royal Marines, commenced his half-yearly inspection of the Woolwich division of the corps on Tuesday, when he went through several departments, and examined the official books, quarters, and interior economy of the establishment. In the afternoon he mustered a battalion of 900 officers, non-commis sioned officers, and men on Woolwich-common. After marching past in slow time and grand divi sions they went through several evolutions, which the General was pleased to express himself very well satisfied with. Ile especially commenced the marching in grand divisions. At the same time, he said, he had seen them do better. On the return of the battalion to parade the General inquired of the men, as usual, if they had any complaints, upon which 13 privates stepped to the front and stated their grievances. The General, upon resuming his inspection yesterday morning, investigated the com plaints, most of which were made by young soldiers who formerly belonged to Militia regiments, regard ing their enlistment and Militia stoppages. All the cases being satisfactorily disposed of, the General inspected the hospital, the men at ship's gun drill, &c., which concluded the first and second days' in spection at Woolwich. The following promotions and appointments, con sequent on the promotions of Messrs. Burdwood and Harwood, as accountant and cashier, under the new Admiralty regulations, have been announced at Chat ham dockyard :—Mr. E. W. Jeffreys, supernumerary senior clerk at Sheerness, to be confirmed ; Mr. H. N. P. Walker, acting senior clerk at Deptford, to be confirmed; Mr. J. H.

GUIDE TO THE QUACKS OF LONDON. A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the " 31edical Cit cular," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. The reader of " Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has of ten 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 men. For their names, which " Punch" would not advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of the advertisim: columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of Mr. - Punch's' ' contemporaties, especially in the country•, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list of these miscreants, with copies of their puffs and other rarticulars concerning them. n:.edfut to be known, will be found in the pamphl t above ret. rred to, which is entitled " Revelati..na of Quacks ant Quackery." ar.d is to be had at the " Medical Circular " Office, 20, Ring William-street, Strand, W.C. 'the vile practices, the monstrou+ impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous g - - , ins of he obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to the causation of suicide, are iully set tor h in " Revelations of Quacks a - d QaAery." And mark espeo ally thit, as afor. said, the names of the Quacks are publishei. The pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory. b. , con tilting which every young man may know where he may go if he wr.- hes to get plundered and destroyed Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy " Revelations of Quacks and Quackery."

ROVIAND. PRICE 4d. STAMPED 5d., Railway and Other Companies. GREAT WESTERN. A special general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Paddington Station, to con sider several bills now before Parliament. Mr. R. Potter, the chairman, presided. Mr. F. SAUNDERS, the secretary, having read the notice convening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said that in November last notices of application to Parliament had been given for 160 bills which more or less seriously affected the inte rests of the Great Western Company. By arrange ments and negotiations the directors were enabled to reduce that list to 75 bills ; and the Great Western Company had to present 75 petitions to Parlia ment against those bills. The 75 bills had sub sequently been reduced to 36, of which a list had been sent to the proprietors, informing them that they would be submitted for their consideration. Of those 36 bills one-half were not ready, or had been so far modified that they did not require to be submitted, or had failed in their progress through Parliament. He had told them at the half-yearly meeting in March last that a bill was then being promoted in connection with the East Gloucester shire Railway. It was a scheme brought forward by speculators, contractors, and engineers for competing with the Great Western throughout their whole dis trict from London to Bristol and to South Wales. The scheme was not required for local purposes, and was therefore promoted for the purpose of competing with the Great Western for their through traffic to Bristol and South Wales. They bad, however, suc ceeded so far in defeating the principal portion of it. The main feature of it was to make a secound route between London and Oxford _to.W..ast_Glouces -tershire line and a branch to n - figfof,'ind as this branch was devoid of all local support, he thought they would also succeed in defeating this portion of the scheme. The Midland Company had applied to Parliament for powers to subscribe 100,000 towards the East Gloucestershire Railway; the Great Western opposed the application, and Parliamentrejected that application. Looking at all the features of the scheme, and the verdict of the House of Commons on those proceedings, he thought the Midland Rail way Company would be prevented, not only from subscribing the £lOO,OOO to the East Gloucestershire, but from previous arrangements with the Great Western, sanctioned by Parliament, they would be unable to make working arrangements with the East Gloucestershire Company. He hoped that those decisions would induce a better state of things. The directors had to accept accomplished facts to a certain extent, and were not disposed to obstruct local ac commodation. They were prepared to continue in a friendly spirit with the Midland and the East Glou cestershire Companies in carrying out what Parlia ment had sanctioned for the accommodation of local districts. They had succeeded during the present Session in maintaining their position in the district through which their line passed. Therewas no longer the same state of things that existed in 1845 and 1846. The Great Western Company had since that time made great sacrifices in respect of dividends to accommodate the various districts in their route, and that was a matter that ought to be taken into consi deration. The main line could easily accommodate double the present traffic on it, and so long as they were ready to supply local districts with the requi site accommodation, he relied on the justice and wis dom of Parliament to protect them from competing schemes that had been so far frustrated. Looking at the great requirements of the present day, they were bound to keep their line and rolling stock in the utmost state of efficiency, and to afford ample accommodation for the local traffic he thought the shareholders must not expect the working expenses to remain at their present level. He then explained the objects of the 36 bills they had on their list. The first on the list was the only one promoted by this company. It was a bill for conferring further powers on the Great Western Railway Company for the construction of works and acquisition of lands, and otherwise in relation to their own under taking and the undertakings of other companies and persons. The bill authorised the raising of £300,000. Mr. FENTON, deputy-chairman, seconded the motion for the approval of the bill, - which, after some observations by Mr. Logg, Mr. Adams, and Mr. Norris, M.P., was carried unanimously. The next bill authorised a joint station at Bristol for the Great Western, Bristol and Exeter, and Midland Railway Companies. It would afford great facilities and accommodation for traffic, and would only involve a contribution of £50,000 from each company. The bill was approved. The third bill was not ready. The fourth bill was for authorising the construction of a railway from Acton to Brentford. It would branch from the main line at Acton and further extend the suburban ac commodation. If sanctioned by Parliament the line would be adopted and worked by the Great Western Company. This bill was also approved. The fifth and sixth bills were not ready. The seventh was a bill to incorporate a company for mak ing a railway from the Peterston station of the South Wales Railway to Cadoxton-juxta-Barry, with a branch to Sully, all in the county of Glamorgan. The line would be 12 miles in length, and the Great Western would have permissive powers to work it. The bill was approved. The CHAIRMAN said that No. 8 was not ready, Nos. 9 and 10 did not require their sanction, No. 11 was dead, and No. 12 was not ready. The next bill was No. 13. It authorised the construction of a rail way from the South Wales Railway to Fishguard Bay and of a harbour there. The object of the bill was 'to shorten the distance by sea between South Wales and the south of Ireland. It involved no liability on the Great Western. lle then moved that the bill be approved, which was agreed to. No. 14 was a bill for making railways from the Hammersmith and City Railway, through Fulham to the north shore of the River Thames. It was stated that this was similar in its objects to No. 4, and if sanctioned by Parliament would be adopted and worked by the Great Western Railway Company. The bill was approved. The next was No. 15, to incorporate a company for making railways in the county of Worcester, to be called " the Halesowen and Bromsgrove Branch Railways." The capital was £120,000. It would form a junction with the Midland, and a friendly arrangement had been come to with that company for working the line when made at 50 per cent. of the receipts. The country was said to be full of traffic, and the bill was approved. Bill No. 16 was to authorise the Hammersmith and City Rail way Company to alter some of the works connected with their railway, to purchase additional lands, and to lease or transfer their undertaking to the Great Western and Metropolitan Railway Com panies. It was explained that under those arrange ments with the Metropolitan the Great Western would have access to a station at Finsbury, within three minutes' walk of the Bank of Eng_ land, for their through and suburban passenger traffic ; and by an arrangement with the London and North Western they would have access to the docks for goods traffic, via the North London Rail way. The bill was approved.
