For notices of this startling work see the "Saturday Re view" of April 1, entitled "Quacks and Quackery • ' ' the " Weekly Dispatch" of April 9, " The Quacks and their Crimes ;" "The Sun" of April 12, "'Detector's' Broadside on Quacks and Quackery." GUIDE TO THE QtrACIES OF LONDON., A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the " Medical Circular," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. The reader of " Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has often read, in the pages of "Punch," of ca•tain 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 advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of Mr. •• Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list of these udacreants, with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, needful to be known, will be found in ti e pamphlet above referred to, which is entitled " Revelations of Quacks and Quackery," and is to be had at the "Medical Circular" Office, 20, King William-street, Stand, W.C. The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to the causation of suicide, are fully set forth in " Revelations of Quacks a a Qackery." And mark especially that, as aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are published. The pamphlet iu question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory, by consulting which every young man may know where he may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed. Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy " Revelations of Quacks and Quackery." Its contents will astonish and amuse you, while they invoke you" indignation and disgust 01 course yout , o not want it on account of its warnings for your own sake, but you doubtless do for chat 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 be able to answer this question of the young anti inexperienced, anti, for charity's sake, if for no other. go .nd provide yourself with "Revelations of Quacks and Quackery," by Detector.—Punch, April 12.

THE LONDON FINANCIAL ASSOCIATION (Limited) offer for SALE by Public Tender. £130,00a, being the whole of the A PRIORITY STOCK of the KETTERING, THRAPSTON, and HUNTINGDON RAILWAY, entitled under powers conferred by the said Company's Acts of Parliament to a Perpetual Dividend of 5 per cent. per annum, payable half-yearly out of the Profits, in preference to the Ordinary Stock, and ranking next to the Company's Debentures. Interest guaranteed by Messrs. Waring for three years, from Ist July, 1865. By the following prospectus it will be seen that the interest on the Debentures is £3,780 And on the A Priority Stock 6,500 Being together £10,280 annually, and as the line is to be worked by the Midland Company for seven years at 40 per cent., a gross receipt of £17,200 per annum will be sufficient to pay interest on the A Priority Stock as well as on the Debentures. The coal traffic alone is estimated to produce one-third more than the above amount, independent of the ordinary sources of traffic. The A Priority stock is therefore most amply secured, and presents an eligible investment for trustees and other parties seeking a security paying a fixed dividend at a good rate. With the view of removing any doubt as to the dividend, and in order to give ample time for the development of the traffic, Messrs. Waring Brothers guarantee for three years the interest on the said Priority Shares. Tenders for the whole, or any portion of the above Stock, will be received at the offices of the Association, South Sea House, Threadneedle-street, up to Tuesday, 11th July, at One o'clock, when the tenders will be publicly opened and the Stock will be allotted to the highest bidders, provided the prices offered are not below the minimum, which will be fixed in the usual manner before the Tenders are opened. In case of equality of Tenders beyond the amount required a pro rata distribution on such Tenders will be made. A deposit of £5 per cent. must accompany each Tender. The balance to be paid on the 18th July, when the Stock will be placed in the purchaser's name without expense. South Sea House, Threadneedle-street, Ist July, 1865.

It is 26 miles lon g , runnin g rli ßrothers, c tedin out of the Midland system at Kettering, touching the Lon don and North Western at Thrapston, and the Great Northern and Great Eastern at Huntingdon, and will be opened on the ensuing Ist of August. g ~ The total share capital is £23 0 ,0 00 ; o f this the A Shares amountin to £l3O 000 a re entitled, under powers con ferred by the Company's Acts, to a priority in dividend of after the £5 per cent, in perpetuity, ranking next deben tures, so that they are substantially preference shares. P Messrs. Waring Brothers guarantee the inter est on the A Shares for three years from I st J ul y , 1865. B y the Acts of Parliament the liability of the shareholders is limited to the amount of their subscription in the usual manner. The B or deferred shares receive all the surplus after payment of five per cont. to the Priority Shareholders. The railway traverses one of the richest agricultural districts of England, in which also iron-stone and clay of fine quality have recently been developed. It is to be worked under Parliamentary sanction by the Midland Company, who, by agreement with the Great Eastern Company, have powers of running onwards from Hunting don by St. Ives to Cambridge, so that a complete and most direct connexion will be established between the whole of the Great Eastern system and the manufacturing and mine ral Midland districts, including Derby, Leicester, Birming ham, Nottingham, Sheffield, and the Northern manufac turing population. A reference to the map will show the importance of the line as a connecting link between the centre and the east of England. The Midland Company are to work and maintain the lino for 40 per cent. of the gross receipts during seven years, and for 50 per cent. hi perpetuity thereafter. The traffic will obviously, therefore, be large. It is be lived, indeed, that the transport of coal alone will furnish a remunerative return upon the capital now offered to the public. The greater part of that traffic, now going into the eastern counties by the circuitous route of Peter borough, must hereafter go via Huntingdon, as its shortest and best course. This quantits estimated at 800,000 tons a year, which, at the rate of 4 d. per ton per mile, would yield £24,375 gross, or £14,62 net after payment of work ing expenses. The net return on coal, therefore, after de duction of £3,780, the debenture interest, would be £10,845. To pay the dividend on the Priority Shares only £6,500 (beyond the debenture interest) is required ; so that, unless the anticipations of those best qualified to judge are greatly erroneous, there would be from the co a l traffic alone a net surplus of about £4,350 annually beyond the dividend on the A Priority Shares. And if the general traffic from passengers, merchaildige, cattle, and iron ore should realise only a net amount equal to that derived from the coal, the Company would have a clear annual income of £29,000 after deducting working expenses, whilst the first charges for debenture interest and dividend on these shares would absorb £10,300 only. In short, a gross traffic of only £l2 15s. per mile per week (£25 per mile being the minimum anticipated by the most competent railway authorities) would suffice to pay debenture interest and a dividend of five per cent. on the A or Priority Shares, after deducting working expenses at 40 per cont.

THE CASE OF MR WINSLOW. Lord CHELMSFORD said he felt bound to make a statement of a personal character, in consequence of what had appeared in the public prints in reference to Mr. Winslow and himself. The noble and learned lord then referred'to the details which had appeared in the papers. He had heard complaints against that gentleman to the effect that he had absented himself from duties, which, upon inquiry, he found to be correct. Mr. Winslow subse quently applied to him for a recommendation for a retiring pension,..whicla, under the circumstances, he felt bound to refuse. RESIGNATION OF THE LORD CHANCELLOR. Earl GRANVILLE said thatitbecame hisdutyto inform the house that the noble and learned lord who had presided over their discussions for some time had felt himself called on to resign the distinguished position he had occupied. In consequence of what had taken place in reference to the noble and learned lord, the latter had felt it his duty to tender the resignation of his office to .Lord Palmerston, but the noble Lord (Palmerston) did not feel himself justi fied in accepting that resignation. However, under exist ing circumstances, and* compliance with the wishes of the noble and. learned laTd, Lord Palmerston bad accepted "treWeignation of the Lord Chancellor. - PENALTIES LAW AMENDMENT BILL. Lord DENMAN, on the order for the third reading of his bill, moved as an amendment that it should be read a third time that day three months. The house then divided. For the third reading Against Majority —B The bill was accordingly read a third time and passed. IMPRISONMENT OF BRITISH SUBJECTS IN ABYSSINIA. Lord CHELMSFORD called the attention of the house to the papers relating to the imprisonment of British sub jects in Abyssinia, presented by command of her Majesty. The noble and learned lord contended that the honour and dignity of this country were not vindicated by the course which the Foreign-office had pursued in reference to the British subjects imprisoned in Abyssinia. Earl RUSSELL defended the conduct of the Govern ment, and said that very strict instructions had been given to Consul Cameron. The noble earl then entered into a detail of the negotiations between Mr. Plowden and Ras Alli, and quoted, from l a pamphlet by Dr. Beke, a descrip tion of the character and career of King Theodore. He also referred to the death of Consul Plowden, and said that after that event he proposed that Capt. Cameron should be sent to Massawah. He did not care whether he was Consul to Abyssinia or not. His duty was to reside principally at Massawah, and he was not accredited to King Theodore. He received the most stringent and precise instructions to take no part in the internal affairs or the domestic dis putes of Abyssinia. But Consul Cameron did not follow those instructions. On reaching Gondar the Consul was at first well received by the King. Subsequently his tone changed, and it is said that, in consequence of the delay in answering the King's letter to the Queen,' Consul Cameron and other Englishmen were thrown into prison. But Dr. Beke expressed his disbelief that this was the real cause of complaint against Consul Cameron ; and he (Earl Russell) was of the same opinion. It was impossible to say in what way an arbitrary and capricious monarch like King Theodore might bo offended. The Government could not form a positive opinion on that point ; but they lid know that Captain Cameron had disobeyed his instruc tions, and had interfered in the internal affairs of Abyssinia. The Government had been blamed for sending to Abyssinia a person of no more consequence than Mr. Rassam; but Mr. Cameron had, on the contrary, expressed his fear that Mr. Rassam was a person of too much con sequence, being next to the governor of Aden. Besides Mr. Rassam was accompanied by a British naval officer ; and the King of Abyssinia might have received him if he would not receive Mr. Rassam. His opinion was that the non-reception of the Queen's letter was due either to the King of Abyssinia's being unable to guarantee the safety of the bearer, or to his desire to get a large mis sion into his power, and thus to compel us to take part with him in his wars against Turkey and Egypt.. The Government would, however, have been justly blamed if they had sent such a mission ; if that mission had been imprisoned ; if we had then been compelled to make war against Abyssinia for their rescue. He was satisfied that the course taken by the Government was more prudent, and was more likely to lead to the end in view, without involving us in any of the embarrassments which might attend the sending out of a great. mission. It was true that 500 stand of arms had been sent out at as a present to the King of Abyssinia, but they would not be delivered until the prisoners were released. The Government was not going to war with the King of Abyssinia on account of a consul who had disobeyed his instructions. Lord HOUGHTON expressed his regret that Earl Rus sell had not accepted the offer of Dr. Beke to proceed on a mission to Abyssinia. The Earl of MALMESBITRY also insisted on the pro priety of sending out Dr. Beke as an ambassador to King Theodore. That gentleman was a man of great courage, knowledge, and experience, and was the most likely man to obtain from the king, with whom he had a personal ac quaintance, the release of th e c aptives. The Government had no more right to refu se to give Dr. Beko the mission he sought than they would prevent a brave soldier leading a forlorn hope. The honour of England was concerned in our obtaining the release of these men. The subject then dropped. CATHERINE GAUGHAN. The Marquis of WES T3IEATH wished to inquire of her Majesty's Government—it being true that Sub-inspec tor Mark Burke, of the Irish Constabulary, having been convicted before a bench of magistrates in Ireland, in tho month of February last, of a gross neglect of his duty, and in violation of his oath, in a remarkable case of cruelty and oppression inflicted on a poor female named Cathe rine Gaughan, and his misconduct having been laid before the Irish Administration for judgment thereon, and the Inspector-General of the Irish Constabulary having in his turn condemned the said Mark Burke, alleging against him that ho had not offered a word in his defence indicating, he added, that the accused knew how censurable his con duct had been—how it is, and at whose suggestion and in fluence it is, that the said Mark Burke is retained in his pay and allowances and in the public service ? Earl GRANVILLE said that Sub-Inspector Burke had lately sent in his resignation. He had been nearly 41 years in the service, and had acted with perfect fidelity up to the present time, although no doubt ho had been guilty of a certain degree of negligence in the case of Catherine Gaughan, for which he had been censured, and for which ho would have been removed from Ballisodare had he not become ill. As he had already said, lie had since sent in his resignation. INDIAN ARMY. The Earl of LONGFORD inquired whether it was the intention that the royal commissioners recently appointed to inquire into certain matters connected with the Indian army should be empowered to indicate tho nature of the alterations which in their opinion would be desirable and practicable in the existing system. Lord DUFFERIN replied that there was no such inten tion with reference to the powers of the commission. CONVOCATION. The ARCHBISHOP of CANTERBURY asked the Lord President of the Council whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to recommend her Majesty to grant to the prelates and clergy of the Church in Ireland the like opportunity as had been granted to the province of Canterbury, of amending or repealing the 16th canon of 1634, which was identical with the 29th English canon. Earl GRANVILLE replied that the Government, while desirous that the closest union should prevail between the Church in Ireland and the Church in this country, did not, as at present advised, see their way towards reviving Con vocation in Ireland. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY thought it would be very desirable that some clear legal statement should be made as to what were the real powers of Convocation. Their lordships adjourned at 20 minutes to seven o'clock to five o'clock to-morrow (Wednesday). HOUSE OF COMMONS-LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The amendments to the following bills were considered and agreed to :—Chichester and Midhurst Railway ; Afon Valley Railway. Bedford and Northampton Railway ; Blane andVaplloely Drayton J unc ti on R a il w ay ; Gir van tp r alri iim ck aY JUnction Railway ; Midland Railway (Mansfeld, &c., Lines) ; Newport and Usk Railway ; Northampton and Banbury Junction Railway (Deviation, &c.); Northampton and Banbury Junction Railway (Ex tensions) ; North-Eastern and Cleveland Railways ; Ponty pool, Caerleon, and Newport Railway ; Regent's Canal (Limehouse Basin Severn Junction Railway ; Southam Railway ; South Wales and Great Western Direct Rail way ; and West Hartlepool Harbour and Railway and Cleveland and North Eastern R a il ways. ITALIAN BRIGANDS. Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked the Under Secretary of Stato for Foreign Affairs whether, without imprudence, he was able to give the. illAthe any further aocouut of the proba- NORTH AND SOUTH SHIELDS. Sir M. RIDLEY, in the absence of Earl Percy, asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether the Treasury would lay upon the table of the house the correspondence between the Board of Customs in London and the reports of the collector of the Tyne relating to the severance of the ports of North and South Shields. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said there would be no objection to lay the correspondence on the table. RESIGNATION OF THE LORD CHANCELLOR. Lord PALMERSTON said he deemed it right to inform the house that the Lord Chancellor, deferring to the vote of last night, had deemed it his duty to tender his resigna tion of the high office of Lord Chancellor, and he (Lord Palmerston) had accordingly placed that resigna tion in the hands of her Majesty. He also felt it his duty to inform honourable members that in the early part of the year the Lord Chancellor, stung by the attacks that had been made upon him from various quar ters, had pressed upon him to accept his resignation, but he (Lord Palmerston) had declined to accept it, on public and private grounds ; at the same time he urged upon his lordship the advisability of remaining at his post, because his retiring from office at that time would have implied that he submitted to the charges that had been made against him. He felt sure that 'me of those charges would form the ground of Parliamentary inquiry, and knowing the motives of the noble and learned lord to be perfectly pure and incorrupt, he had advised him to retain his office until the result of such an inquiry became known. The noble and learned lord, in order to complete the necessary for malities of the prorogation, would hold the Great Seal until Friday morning, and later in the day he would resign his office. RAILWAY TRAVELLING. Sir L. PALK called the attention of the President of the Board of Trade to the verdict of the jury at the inquest on the bodies of Thomas Sweter, Geore Kent, and William Anderton ; and moved for papers relating thereto. The hon. bart. said the proceedings to which he referred showed most unmistakably the necessity of energetic steps being taken by the Board of Trade to compel railway companies to effect seine arrangement by which communication between the passengers and guard could be effected. The late accidents had shown the signals at present in use were not the best that could be devised, and therefore he hoped the right hon. gentleman who presided at the Board of Trade would bring his powerful mind to bear on the subject, and that some thing might be devised for securing the safety of the public. Mr. D. GRIFFITH thought the subject a very impor tant one, and well worthy tho utmost consideration of the Government. Mr. M. GIBSON said linos were always carefully in spected before opened, and nothing more could be done afterwards, when accidents occurred, than to send down a well-informed gentleman to inquire into the circumstances. The matter was occupying much public attention, and he should be glad to adopt any plan which might be consi dered practicable. After some remarks from Mr. WHALLEY and Mr. MALINS the motion was withdrawn. The Naval Discipline Act Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed. The Foreign Jurisdiction Act Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed. The Rochdale Vicarage Bill was read a third time and passed. The Lords' amendments to the Peace Preservation (Ire land) Act (1856) amendments Bill were considered and agreed to. The Lords' amendments to the Expiring Laws Con tinuance Bill were considered and agreed to. The house then adjourned at five minutes to six. Death of Isaac Taylor. On Wednesday last, after many weeks of great suffering, borne with Christian resignation, the author of the " Natural History of Enthusiasm" closed a long career of usefulness at the advanced age of 77. Originally trained as an artist, Isaac Taylor, at an early age, abandoned his profession for that literary career in which so many members of his family had attained distinction. His father, the Rev. I. Taylor, of Ungar ; his uncle, Charles Taylor, the learned editor of " Calmet ;" his sisters, Ann and Jane Tay lor, the joint authors of " Original Poems" and " Hymns for Infant Minds;" his mother, Ann Taylor, and his brother, Jeffreys Taylor, have all written works which have attained a wide popularity. In 1818 Mr. Isaac Taylor first became a contribu tor to the " Eclectic Review," in conjunction with Robert Hall, John Foster, and Josiah Conder. His first independent literary venture was a small volume entitled " Elements of Thought," published in 1822. This was succeeded by a translation of the " Cha racters of Theophrastus," with clever original illus trations, etched by the author ; by the " History of the Transmission of Ancient Books to Modern Timbs," the "Process of Historical Proof," the "Memoirs and Correspondence of Jane Taylor," and by a new translation of " Herodotus." None of these early literary ventures had achieved any very eminent success. Mr Taylor at last discovered the true vein in which his genius lay. In 1829 the " Natural History of Enthusiasm" was published anonymously. Coining out at a time of great political and religious ferment, and o6ring a philosophy of the problems of the day, the book was received with extraordinary favour by the public, and rapidly ran through eight or nine editions. With the object of giving con tinuity to the philosophical and religious theories which he has advanced in the " History of Enthu siasm," Mr. Taylor in the course of the next seven years published that series of works on which his fame must rest, " Fanaticism," " Spiritual Despot ism," " Satur lay Evening," and the " Physical Theory of Another Life," works which have all had and continue to command an extensive sale. The publication of the last of these works led to the surrender of the author's incognito. The un known writer received an urgent request from the late Dr. Chalmers to stand for the chair of Logic in the University of Edinburgh in opposition to the late Sir Wm. Hamilton, who was elected by a small majority. _ _ In 1838 Mr. Taylor gave to the world the thoughts which had suggested themselves while a large family was growing up around him in his country seclusion at Stanford Rivers. This work, "Home Education," has had an extensive popularity, • and has induced many parents to endeavour to promote the enjoy ments of children—to educate rather than to instruct. In the following year Mr. Taylor was induced to take part with the Rev. R. Train in bringing out a new translation of " Josephus." This costly and magnificent work was accompanied with numerous illustration engraved by some most ingenious and elaborate machinery, the invention of which had been the amusement of Mr. Taylor's leisure hours. The inopportune death of Dr. Train at the eve of the publication of this work brought upon Mr. Tay lor ruinous pecuniary responsibilities, from which for many years he was unable to extricate himself. The engraving machine was patented in England, Scotland, and America, and, though productive of small benefit to the inventor, has realised large re turns in the hands of others. About this period the " Tracts for the Times" were creating an unexampled excitement in the re ligious world. Mr. Taylor had long made himself familiar with the whole range of patristic literature ; he felt that the writers of the " Tracts" were givi ng an essentially perverted view of the tendencies, doc trinal and ritual, of the early Church. As a layman, standing clear of any secular embarrassments of an ecclesiastical kind, Mr. Taylor felt himself impelled to come forward and state the results to which his independent and unbiassed study of the Fathers had led him. This he did in a vibrk entitled " Ancient Christianity," a work which virulently attacked, and as warmly defended, by the respective partisans in the great controversy which was then shaking the English Church. Some of the leaders of the seces sion which ensued have acknowledged that the facts and reasonings of this work did thore than anything else to drive them over to Rome. After an interval of seven years, Mr. Taylor pub lished essays, partly philosophical, partly historical, on the lives of Loyola and Wesley. Shortly after wards a volume onthe Christian argument was pub lished anonymously at Cambridge, entitled the " Re storation of Belief." Two volumes of essays—" Logic and Theology," and " Ultimate Civilisation"--a series of lectures, originally delivered in Edinburgh, on " The Spirit of the Hebrew Poetry," and a series of autobiographical papers published last year in Good Words were the last occupations of his declin ing years. To the end his mind retained all i 4 power. He leaves, we believe, a large family. Secretary Seward, in the following letter, an nounces the withdrawal of belligerent rights_from the Confederates by France : " Department of State, Iliashington, June 17. " Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that it has been made known to this department by the Minister of the United States residing in France that the Imperial Government of that country has re moved all restrictions heretofore imposed by it upon the naval intercourse with the United States. I have also the pleasure to inform you that I have learned, in the same authentic manner, that the Im perial Government of France has withdrawn from the insurgents of the United States the character of belligerents, which heretofore that Government had conceded to them, and these proceedings by the Government of France have been prompted by the express desire of reviving the old sympathies between the two nations, whose interests and traditions con stantly invite them to cultivate the most cordial re lations. I beg leave to suggest the importance of communicating these facts to the proper officers of the navy. " I have the honour to be, your obedient servant, "WILLIAM H. SEWARD. " Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy." The withdrawal by England he announces thus— " Departmen t -of State, - Washington, June 19. " Sir,—.l have the honour to transmit for your information a correspondence between Sir Frederick W. Bruce and this department upon the subject of the withdrawal of the pretended concession of bel ligerent rights to the insurgents. In view of this correspondence, I suggest, therefore, that you com municate to the naval officers of the United States the results following therefrom, viz. —First,—Great Britain withdraws her concession heretofore made of a belligerent character from the insurgents. Second, the withdrawal of the 24-hour rule has not been made absolute by Great Britain, and that there fore the customary courtesies are not to be paid by our vessels to those of the British navy. Third, — The right of search of British vessels is terminated. Of course this has no bearing upon the operation of the existing slave trade treaty. Fourth—Any insur gent or piratical vessels found on the high seas may be lawfully captured by vessels of the United States. I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, " WILLIAM H. SEWARD. " Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy." _ _ The President has appointed AndrewJ. Hamilton, of Texas, to be Provisional Governor of that State, and also James Johnson, of Georgia, to be Provi sional Governor of Georgia. The form of the pro clamation is precisely similar to those heretofore ap pointing Provisional Governors for North Carolina and Mississippi, and the duties prescribed the same. They are to exercise all the powers necessary and proper to enable the loyal people to restore the said States to their constitutional relations to the Federal Government, and to present such a republican form of State government as will entitle the States to the guarantee of the United States therefor, and its people to protection by the United States against insurrection, invasion, and violence. James Johnson, who has been appointed Provi sional Governor of Georgia by the President, is a resident of Columbus in that State, and was formerly Democratic member of Congress. From 1851 to 1853, at the time that President Johnson was in the house, Governor Johnson is stated to have been a consistent upholder of the Union. Provisional Governors for Florida, Alabama, and South Carolina will shortly be appointed. The Chicago Republican thinks that Congress will appropriate at least one year's salary of the Presi dency to Mrs. Lincoln. It says— " There is a precedent in this case, however, which will unquestionably be followed. On the 4th of March, 1811, General llarrison was inaugurated, and on the Bth of April, after exactly one month's service as President, he died. Congress at its first session passed a bill appropriating $25,000, or the whole salary for one year, to be paid to the widow of the deceased President. Mr. Lincoln commenced his second term on the 4th of March and died on the 14th of April. Congress, following the prece dent in the case of President Harrison, will vote to Mrs. Lincoln the whole salary of the year which was thus commenced." The New York Times says : " We are authorised to say that there is no truth in the report that John Mitchell has been indicted by a grand jury at Norfolk. The facts are that 57 1 leading rebels of Virginia were indicted by the grand jury in the United States' Circuit Court, sitting recently at Norfolk, Judge Underwood presiding. Among the names intended to be presented before the jury was that of John Mitchell, but by some means or other Mitchell's case was not investigated, and the jury reported bills severally against General Lee and other noted men among the rebels lately residing in Virginia. Shortly after these indict ments were reported instructions were given to the District Attorney to present the case of Mitchell, but before be had time to do so the jury had finally adjourned. Mitchell's arrest is understood to have been made in anticipation of this proceeding, and for the purpose of securing his presence within the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court of Virginia. It is not believed that all those indicted as above-named will be tried for treason. Some of the leading loyal Virginians are here to urge that Lee and others who were paroled by General Grant shall be relieved of their paroles, and informed that they are at liberty to leave then, and, if they do not depart, they must stand the trial for treason. Others urge that Lee be pardoned upon his petition now pending before the President. The following is the official statement of the names of the thirty-seven per sons indicted for treason in the United States' District ,Court sitting at Norfolk, Virginia : Montgomery D. Corse, late Major - General i n the rebel army ; Richard Snowden Andrews, Henry B. Taylor, Charles James Faulkner, late United States' Minister to France ; William N. M'Veigh, of Alexandria; Richard S. Ewell and Jubal A. Early, late lieutenant-general in the rebel arm ; Wm. S. Winder, son of the late Gen. Winder; Robert Ould, Commissioner of Exchange of Pri soners ; George Booker, Cornelius Boyle, a Wash ington Secessionist ; W. H. Payne and Thomas P. Turner, James A. Seddon, late rebel Secretary of War ; Wm. Burton Richards, jun., Wade Hamp ton, late lieutenant-general, rebel cavalry forces ; Richard H. Dulany, of Alexandria; W. E. Taylor, John De Bree, James Longstreet, late lieutenant general, rebel army ; Robert E. Lee, late general in -chief, rebel army ; Oscar F. Baxter, Wm. Mahone, late major-general, rebel army ; Wm. Smith, late rebel Governor of Virginia ; Eppa Hunton, late member of the rebel Congress from Virginia ; R. A. Pryor, late high private in the rebel army ; D. R. Bridgeford, K. K. Mallory, George W. C. Lee, son of General Lee; Samuel Cooper, late adjutant and inspector-general of therebel army and formerly lieutenant-colonel, United States army ; Wm. H. Fitzhugh Lee, son of General Lee ; Henry A. Wise, ex-Governor of Virginia and late brigadier-general, rebel army ; Benjamin Hagar, Geo. W. Alexander, Richard H. Booker, Fitzhugh Lee, nephew of Gen. Lee and late major-general in the rebel army; T. S. Bocock, late Speaker of the rebel House of Re presentatives and formerly member of the United States Congress." A Washington letter says : " The President, Attorney-General, and Secre tary of State are likely to be kept constantly occu pied for the next two or three months in the dispo sition of applications for pardon and amnesty. At the White House, in the of6Lie of the Attorney- General, and in the State Department, we now find h our ly in Ita l ian quite a crowd of anxious petition- ES , :- -I,;\ nu j i. _ ers for Executi v e c l emency, an d among tfi I.; e/W:Vin of the men w h o h ave fill e d th e most - :iir n 1 LIZ pages in th e hi s t ory o f the defu n ct' ,South eriil*47a.: federacy. The demeanour and eiptession y1" 1 .49-.724 tenance of the applicants present 'a curie o — * interesting study. Whole histories and littlezworkts walk bydozens before us in contemplation profound. The fortune-bereft millionare and lordly landholder and manowner, the down-fallen leader in politics and the mighty lawgiver and the discomfited mili tary chieftain, all walk here in agitation and in anxious waiting to hear the fiat of the Executive, and seem most painfully to realise the adage that ' matters of war are, of all others, most subject to continual mutations.' The petition is made directly to the President, who calls to his aid the Attorney- General, through whose hands all applications pass, and thence to the Secretary of State, where, in case a pardon is granted, a warrant is issued, substanti ally as follows, and generally in the words of this form :—Whereas —, by taking part in the rebel lion against the Government of the United States, has made himself liable to heavy pains and penal ties, and whereas the circumstances of his case ren der him a proper object of Executive clemency. Now, therefore, be it known that I, Andrew John son, President, do hereby grant to the said a full pardon and amnesty for all offences by him committed, arising from participation, direct or implied, in the said rebellion, conditioned as follows —viv., this pardon to begin and take effect from the day on which the said shall take the oath prescribed in the Proclamation of the President, dated May 29, 1865, and to be void and of no effect if the said shall hereafter at any time acquire any property whatever in slaves, or make use of slave labour." Among those who have made application for par.. don is Mr. Stephens, late Vice-President of the Con federacy. A summary of his petition is thus given by an unfriendly hand :_... "Alexander H. Stephens, in his lengthy argument on the reasons and causes which induced him to join the rebel Confederacy, says that he always be lieved in the right of secession, but never in the policy. He was educated to believe in the right of secession, whence sprang his convictions, and he was strengthened in those convictions by the last annual message of President Buchanan and the opinion of Attorney-General Black. He was also confirmed in his views by the able and honest efforts of the New York Tribune.' He claims that he exerted all his faculties to their utmost to prevent secession, and that he accepted the Vice-Presidency of the Confederacy only because it was tendered unanimously, and for the purpose of preserving, as far as lay in his power, those great principles of freedom which lie at the foundation of American constitutional liberty. He desired to make the Con stitution of the Confederacy as near as possible like that of the United States, and in this he claims he succeeded. All the points in regard to freedom and the safeguards of liberty were his work. We may add that the stories about Mr. Stephens's harsh treatment and failing health at Fort Warren are untrue. He is kept like any other distinguished prisoner, and his health is as good as usual." Messrs. Jerome Buck and Sterne Chittenden, of New York, have been retained to assist Charles O'Connor in the defence of Jefferson Davis. The assassination trials had not concluded. The arguments of counsel for most of the prisoners were directed against the jurisdiction of the Court. At a collation at Lowell, General Butler made a speech, in which he urged that the confiscated lands forfeited by treason should be given to the soldiers who had put the rebellion down, preserving in that and every other respect equality to the negro. President Johnson's family have taken up their residence at the White House. The family consists of Mrs. Johnson, who is in ill health, Andrew Johnson, jun., the President's youngest son, a lad about 14 years of age ; Mrs. Judge Patterson, the President's daughter, and wife of Senator Patterson, of Tennessee, and Mrs. Patterson's two children. Mrs. Patterson will be presiding lady at the White House, owing to the ill health of Mrs. Johnson. Up to the 18th 188,000 troops had left Washing ton in troop trains, of which number 85,000 went west to Beuwood and Parkersburgh, West Virginia. This number does not include those going on the passenger trains, which since the Ist inst. averaged over 500 per day, making the entire number about 160,000—an averageof-About - 9,000 , per day. There remain yet about 30,000 to leave, which includes the remainder of the army of the Potomac—about 9,ooo—and those who man the heavy artillery in the fortifications. Colonel Grayley, of New Orleans, who is said to have offered a reward of $1,000,000 for the murder of Mr. Lincoln, has been arrested and sent to Washington.

Two of the great hotels at Saratoga have been destroyed by fire. A despatch from that place, dated the 18th, says : About 4 30 o'clock this afternoon a fire was discovered in the north wing of the United States' Hotel. A short time after a second fire broke out lin another and distant part of the building. The flames spread with a fearful violence, and in a few moments the north wing was a sheet of fire ; and soon after the whole edifice was a mass of flames. So rapid was the progress of the fire that it was with difficulty that the guests succeeded in escaping with out their effects. Before 6 o'clock the building fell in with a frightful crash. A portion of the furniture only was saved. The flames communicated to the Marvin-house, which was also speedily destroyed. The bank adjoining is seriously threatened. Th e fire is still burning at this hour (8 o'clock p.m.). The fire is generally believed to b.e the work of an incendiary. All the other hotels are safe, and the prospects for a good season were never more flat tering. Two lives have been lost. The fire is now under control, and will be stayed at the Davidson. residence, next door to the north of Marvin-house. Officer Case was killed by the falling of a chimney. The cottages belonging to the United States' Hotel are all destroyed, and the fire will extend no further." Two hundred paroled Confederate prisoners have been drowned in the Red River.
