A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the" uedical Ci. cubit'," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet The realer of " Punch" stiould reau this pamphlet also. He has often read, in the pages of "Punch," of a rtain Quacks, frau dulent ant noisome, who obtain money by false pretences, and more money by menaces and extortion. from green young m.-n. For their names, which " Punch" would not advertise, he has refer, ed he readers to the lower corner of tee advertisin. columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of Mr." Punch's' contempora, les, espeoiaity in the countr, , may still be enumerated But now he begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list or these .. i.creants, with copies of their puffs and other ,articularB concerning them, n edfu , to be . nown, will be found in Die pamphl t above ret rred to, which s entitled " Reveled Us of Quacks an-eQuaeleery," and is to be had at the.

The Florence Nazione of April 11 contains the following letter on the experimental line of Mr. Fell now in operation on the Mont Cenis Three days ago I made a trip to the Mont Cenis to wit ness the trials now making on the international postal road of the system invented by Mr. Fell for the application of steam traction to ordinary carriage roads across moun tains. The spot selected for the trial is on the inter national road, at a height of 1,773 metres above the sea. The experimental line is two kilometres in length.. The inclines on the same vary from a minimum of 1 in 23 to a maximum of 1 in 12. The curves at the turnings of the road have a minimum radius of 40 metres. The iron rails are laid down on the existing road after the regular fashion of ordinary railways, and they follow the line of the road, excepting only that at each turning, as a larger curve was required for the railway, it has been necessary to widen the road at the part where the rail is laid down so as to obtain the curve of a radius of 40 metres. The rails are three in number. The two rails at each side are laid down on wooden sleepers, and thus secured in the way practised in common railways. The third is rail in the middle between the two, placed on an elevation ; and in stead of being placed vertically, as are the rails at the side, it is placed horizontally. This third rail is nothing else than an ordinary rail placed horizontally and at an eleva tion above that on which the two side rails are placed. This central rail is laid down on sleepers closely fitted to each other, and forming as it were one continuous longi tudinal beam laid down on the road. The side rails have the office, as in other railways, of receiving the wheels of the locomotives and of the carriages and cars attached to the same. The office of the central rail is that of securing the adhesion of the four horizontal wheels attached to the lower part of the locomotives, and constituting the peculiar merit of s Fell's system. These four wheels, two on each side, are of the same form and proportion ; their lower rim is provided with a catch firmly clasping the central rail, and serving to keep the machine so com pletely on its track that it cannot jerk off or diverge. It is another office of these wheels that they render possible the increase or diminution of the required adhesion by proportioning it to the greater or less weight to be drawn by the locomotive. These wheels have a lateral move ment, and by their pressure on the central rail a sufficient amount of adhesion is secured to admit of stopping the machine at 30 metres, even when the train is going with great speed. The locomotive now in use weighs 16,000 kilogrammes, has a 60 horses' power, and can draw a train weighing 40,000 kilogrammes, proceeding with a velocity, varying according to the inclines, from 12 to 25 kilometres the hour; so that the entire road between Susa and St. Michel, 77 kilometres in length, will be traversed by the postal train in four hours and a half, and by the omnibus train in six hours ant a half. The journey, as at pre sent made with the diligences, takes 12 hours and more. The difficulties caused by the suaw and the winds will be overcome, the first by snow ploughs, continu ally sweeping the line, so as to keep it 'clear ; the se cond, the winds, which are dangerous only at certain spots, perfectly well known to those who pass their lives in more Alpine regions, will be guarded against by covered galleries, such as exist at present in some parts of the road, and they will be constructed either of brick or iron, or even wood. It appears to me that all the substan tial conditions of security have been attained, and that the provisions for stopping the train under every condition are sufficient. Each carriage will have its own drag, with a guard specially employed to look after the same. The lo comotive, as I have already said, possesses the four hori zontal wheels continually adhering to the central rail, and so firmly clasping it that the train may be almost in stantaneously stopped when at its greatest speed. Any de viation seems rendered impossible by the very nature of the system. The fact is that the authors of the system, who are now nuking the trial at their own risk and danger, are confident of the most complete success. 11GENCE. NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING.—THURSDAY. The meeting of Cambuscan and Ely in the Sixth Bien nial this afternoon excited much interest and speculation. Lord Stamford's horse was the favourite, and he proved the correctness of the Leger running by winning very cleverly at the finish. In fact he was pulling all the way, and Fordham never had to extend him. One of the finest struggles ever seen on Newmarket heath was that between Fille de l'Air and General Peel for the Claret Stakes over the severe two-mile course from the ditch in. They came up the hill at a great pace, and on mounting it the French mare, who had been leading, began to hang, but answering to her jockey's call she came again with great gameness, and the General not responding to his rider's efforts was beaten on the post by a head. It is not often that Lord Glasgow consents to di vide the forfeits, but he did so to-day, and allowed Brahma to walk over for the 50 soya Sweepstakes, and Jack o'Lan tern did not find much difficulty with his- small field for the Aske Produce. The remaining events were unim portant. To-morrow's racing does not promise much sport, and it is probable that many will take their departure this evening. Second Year of the Sixth Newmarket Biennial Stakes of 10 sovs each, with 100 added ; colts, Bst 101 b ; fillies, Bst 61b.

Privateer with Ely at his quarters made play at a steady pace, the favourite lying a couple of lengths or so in their rear, having Signalman in waiting. On reaching the Old Duke's Stand Mr. Savilo's colt dropped bavk, and Ely was then joined by Cambuscan, the latter waiting to half way in the rails, where he came out and won cle verly at last by a length and a half; a bad third.

As they entered the dip, Fordham headed the Count's horse, and with Sister to Evelina, in attendance, reached the leaders a dozen strides from home, who immediately cut it, leaving Canzonette to finish the winner by a length. There were three lengths between the second and third, Nucleus was fourth, Weaver fifth, Equinox sixth, and Trinket next. The Verona colt was last. Mr. Heathcote claimed the winner.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. WEST KENT. Yesterday a crowded and influential meeting of the Liberal electors from the several districts of West Kent was held at the Assembly-room of the Bull Tavern, Maid stone, to adopt measures for securing the return at the next election of Mr. W. Angerstein, one of the present members for Greenwich, and Mr. Lubbock, who had consented to appear as candidates in the Liberal interest, and to hear • addresses from those gentlemen, explanatory of their views upon various important public questions. The chair was occupied by Mr. James Whatman, formerly M.P. for West Kent, and the present Liberal candidate for Maidstone. Mr. ANGERSTEIN, M.P., said it was not until after care ful consideration that he came to the decision to sever his connection with the constituency he had the honour to represent, and his only motive in doing so was a sin cere desire to rescue the western division of the county from that Tory domination to which it was now subjected. Although a member of the Established Church, he would extend the utmost amount of religious liberty to the great Nonconformist body, so far as consistent with that alliance between the Church and the State which he believed to be beneficial to the community at large. He had voted in favour of the abolition of Church-rates, and was prepared to do so on future occasions. He had also, as a reformer, voted in favour of Mr. Locke King's Bill for a £lO franchise in counties, and Mr. Baines's Bill for a £6 borough franchise. The provision as to the county franchise, contained in the Reform Bill of Lord Derby, was a mere sham, and only intended to increase the political power of the owners of land. (Cheers.) He thought he should be able to prove that the repeal of the Malt Tax would not be productive of those benefits which were held out, although a firm adherent of the policy of free trade, and the great financial measures inaugurated by the late Sir R. Peel, and that clear-sighted and' honest politician whose death they all regretted, Mr. Cobden, he could not but think that a great mistake had been made with regard to the paper duties. He did not say this in order to pick up a few stray votes. Perhaps Mr. Cobden, when he carried out those arrangements, was not sufficiently 'informed on the sub ject, but certain it was that by the altered system a great advantage was given to the foreign manufacturer at the ex pense of the British papermaker, and this was a thing much to be deplored, and which requirethamendrnent. Mr. An gerstein then proved by statistics the increased financial and commercial prosperity of the country since the present Government succeeded that of Lord Derby. He said the time was at hand when the people would be called upon to declare whether they would have a retrograde Parliament or a House of Commons which would legislate for the true interests of all classes. He could say on his own behalf and that of his friend Mr. Lubbock, that they were prepared to put their shoulders to the wheel and spare no labour to assist the reformers of West Kent in obtaining a proper representation of their views in Parliament. Mr. LUBBOCK then addressed the meeting. He said he was favourable to the general policy of the Government of Lord Palmerston. The non-intervention principle, espe cially with regard to the American contest, had been wisely carried out. - If returned to Parliament he was pre pared to support such a measure of Reform as would confer the franchise on large numbers of those who were' entitled to it, without abiding by the rough and ready test of the possession of property only. The plan suggested by Mr. Hare, and advocated by Mr. Mill, of giving members to minorities, was worthy of consideration ; but he could not say that he was prepared to support such a plan at present. Mr. Lubbock then avowed himself in favour of the aboli tion of Church rates, and an alteration in the present sys tem of the paper duties, as rags were now exported duty free, giving a large bonus to the foreign paper manufac turer. He believed with Mr. Angerstein that the repeal of the malt tax would not produce the benefits anticipated by many. He should be happy, however, to find the finances of the country in such a state that a portion of the malt tax might with safety be dispensed with. A resolution was then adopted pledging the meeting to use every exertion to secure the return of Messrs. Anger stein and Lubbock as representatives of West Kent. Committees were then appointed to carry out this object, and the proceedings closed. EDINBURGH, Thursday. To-day the nomination took place of the members of Parliament for the united counties of Clackmannan and Kinross. The re-election of Mr. Adam was moved by Cap tain Christie, seconded by Mr. Simpson, and carried with out opposition. Mr. Adam expressed his confidence in the policy of the Government of Lord Palmerston, under which he had accepted office. He attributed the failure of their Reform measures to want of support from the country. With regard to America, he admired the bravery of the Confederates, but he did not sympathise with their cause. He believed that the success of Mr. Gladstone's financial measures would help;to extend free trade, and in conclusion he paid a tribute to the eminent services of Mr. Cobden. Lam', April 20. Sir Powell Button, Liberal, has just retired, leaving Major Walpole master of the geld. PRICE 4d , STAMPED sd. Mr. J. S. Mill and the R epre sentation of Westminster. The following letter from Mr. J. S. Mill has been received by Mr. James Beale : Avignon, April 17. Dear Sir,—l beg leave to acknowledge your communica tion of the 12th instant, informing me that at a meeting of Westminster electors it has been resolved to adopt me as a candidate on the terms of my letter of March 7, and to in vite subscriptions to defray the expenses of my election. On the subject of this resolution it would not become me to say anything, except what might equally be said by one who had no personal interest in the matter: That if the electors of Westminster return to Parliament as their repre sentative any one, either myself or another, who has no claim whatever on them except their opinion of his fitness for the trust, and if on that sole ground they elect him without personal solicitation and without expense, they will do what is as essentiaily honourable to themselves as to the object of their choice, will set an example worthy to be, and likely to be, imitated by other great constituencies, and will signally raise the character of the popular party and advance the cause of Reform. On this part of the subject I have only further to express the earnest hope that, in accepting me on the terms of my letter, the meeting intended to include in their adhesion the principle of an individual appeal by circular to every elector, laying other names before him as well as mine, and request ing him to elect from among them, or from any others, the person or persons whom he would wish to be brought for ward as candidates. I am also invited to state, for the more full information of the electors, my opinion on various political questions of general interest. Such a call can only be properly answered by the most complete openness. I hold decided opinions on all the subjects on which my sentiments are asked, and whether those opinions may serve or injure me in the estimation of the elector; it is equally incumbent- on ma to state them plainly. - 1. With regard to Reform Bills, I should vote at once both for Mr. Baines's bill and for Mr. Locke Ring's, and for measures going far beyond either of them. 1 would open the suffrage to all grownpersons, both men and wotepn, who can read, write, or perform a sum in the rule of th, as, and who have not, within some small number of years, re ceived parish relief. At the same time, utterly abominating all class ascendancy, I would not vote for giving the suffrage in such a manner that any class, even though it be the most numerous, could swamp all other classes taken together. In the first place, I think that all considerable minorities in the country or in a locality should be repre sented in proportion to their numbers. What other adjust ments of the electoral system to a universal, or nearly uni versal, suffrage might prove practically the best adapted to secure to every portion of the community its just share of influence, while preventing any class from acquiring an unjust degree of preponderance either by means of pro perty or of numbers, is a question which may be answered in many different ways, and which will require much sift ing and public discussion before the best can be selected. In the meanwhile I should be prepared to support a mea sure which would give to the labouring class a clear half of the national representation. 2. I prefer a mixed system of direct and indirect taxation to either alone. If the attempt were made to raise so large a revenue as ours, after all due retrenchment, would still be, exclusively by direct taxation, I do not know of any taxes, in themselves just, which, under such strong pecuniary temptation, would not be successfully evaded. The evasions of the income tax are already a disgrace to the national morality. I would in no case tax any of the necessaries of life, but even if a working man expends in luxuries for himself, and especially in stimulant; what is required by the necessities of his family, I think it perfectly just that he should be taxed on such expenditure. 3. Every civilised country is entitled to settle its internal affairs in its own way, and no other country ought to inter fere with its discretion ; because one country, even withthe best intention; has no chance of properly understanding the internal affairs of another. But when this indefeasible liberty of an independent nation has already been interfered with, when it is kept in subjection by a foreign Power, either directly or by assistance given to its native tyrants, I hold that any nation whatever may rightfully interfere to protect the country against this wrongful interference. I therefore approve the interposition of France in 1859 to free Italy from the Austrian yoke, but disprove the intervention of the same country in 1849 to compel the Pope's subjects to take back the bad Government they had cast off. It is not, however, a necessary consequence that because athing might rightfully be done it is always expedient to do it. I would not have voted for a war in behalf of either Poland or of Denmark, because on any probable view of conse quences I should have expected more evil than good from our doing what, nevertheless if done, would not have been, in my opinion, any violation of international duty. 4. Respecting the disabilities of Dissenters my answer may be brief. There ought to be no disabilities whatever on account of religion. 5. Voting for a member of Parliament is a public and po litical act, which concerns not only the electir's individurd preferences, but the most important interests of the other electors, of the non-electors, and even of posterity ; and my conviction is that in a free country all such acts should be done in the face and subject to the comments and criticisms of the entire public. I wish that the elector should feel an honourable shame invoting contrary to his known opinions, and in not being able to give for his vote a reason which he can avow. The publicity which lets in these salutary influ ences admits also, unfortunately, some noxious ones; and if I believed that these were now the strongest—if I thought the electors of this country were in such a state of hope less and slavish dependence on particular landlords, em ployers, or customers, that the bad influences are more than a match for the good ones, and that there is no other means of removing them—l should be, as I once was, a supporter of the ballot But the voters are not now in this degraded condition—they need nothing to protect them against elec toral intimidation but the spirit and courage to defy it. In an age when the most dependent class of all, the labouring class, is proving itself capable of maintaining by combina tion an equal struggle with the combined power of the masters, I cannot admit that farmers and shopkeepers, if they stand by one another, need despair of protecting them selves against any abuse, now possible, of the power of landed or other wealth. 6. As regards retrenchment, it is certain that, chiefly through unskilful management, great sums of public money are now squandered for which the country receives no equivalent in the efficiency of its establishments, and that we might have a more useful army and navy than we pos sess at a considerably less expense. I expect little improve ment in this respect until the increased influence of the smaller taxpayers in the Government, through a large ex tension of the suffrage, shall have produced a stricter control over the details of public expenditure. But I cannot think it would be right for us to disarm, in the face of the great military despotisms of Europe, which regard our freedom, through its influence on the minds of their own subjects, as the greatest danger as well as reproach to them, and might be tempted to pick a quarrel with us even without any prospect of ultimate success, in the mere hope of reviving the national antipathies which so long kept apart the best minds of England and of the Continent. 7. I am decidedly of opinion that landed property should be subject to the probate duty, and that property in settle ment should pay succession duty on its full value, and not, as at present, only on the value of the life interest. 8. Purchase is the very worst way but one in which coin missions in the army could possibly be appropriated. The one which is still worse is jobbery and favouritism. I would support any mode in which the one evil can be got rid of without replacing it by the other. That there is such a mode I am fully satisfied, and that it would put an end to what is justly called in your letter the monopoly by certain classes of the posts of emolument. 9. I am entirely opposed to flogging, either in the army or out of it, except for crimes of brutality. For some of those it seems to me a very appropriate punishment. 10. The differences between employers and workpeople, which give rise to strikes, are, it appears to me, a subject which wholly escapes the control of legislation. I see nothing which law can do in the matter, except to protect from violation the equal liberty of all to combine, or to re frain from combining. After a sufficient trial of each other's strength, both sides will probably be willing to refer their disputes to arbitration. But, even then, Ido not think that the arbitrators should have pOwer to enforce their decisions by law ; because, in such cases as they would usually have to decide, it is impossible to lay down rules of justice and equity which would suit all cases, or would obtain universal assent; and the adjustments must generally be of the nature of compromises, not resting on fixed principles, but each side giving up something for the sake • f peace. I do not presume to say that a better rule may not be arrived at in time ; but it would be quite premature to act as if it had already been arrived at.—l am, dear Sir, very sincerely yours, James Beale, Esq. J. S. MILL. BURNED TO DEATH IN A PIGSTYE.-011 Sunday even i ng last a frightful death took place through burning. George Lloyd, a labourer, occupying a cottage at Danesford, was in the house, when, about five o'clock in the evening his little boy, five years of age, ran in and told him the pigstye was on fire and his little sister Harriet in it. Lloyd procured a bucket of water, and went up the garden to the stye, which he found to be enveloped in flames. He at first attempted to quench the fire with the water, but finding his efforts fruitless, he made a rush into the stye and fetched his little girl, but three and a hall years of age, out. Her clothing was completely consumed, and the poor child so frightfully burned that she expired shortly after. The fire it would seem was caused by the children playing with some lucifer matches. On Monday an inquest was held, and the jury returned a 'verdict of acci dental death. NE WSPAPER "71 , Naval and Military eolittittia „ After the review of the hvo .'• • -afp Devonport, on Tuesday, th e D• • s,„• ; , : inspected the Military- Hospital at Stbie, tb g afternoon his Royal Highness visited the fortifica tions at Knackers Knowle, on the north of Ply mouth, and he dined at Mount Wise with Lord Templetown in the evening. OnWednesday morn ing the Commander-in-Chief was engaged in the Raglan Barracks, Devonport. The men belonging to the 6th and 28th Regiments were inspected in full marching order. It was expected that in the afternoon the Duke would visit Tregantle and Sereasdon forts to the westward of Plymouth. The Commander of the Forces left Plymouth yesterday morning by the South Devon Railway for Wey mouth and Portland. A lecture on the defence of Canada was delivered on 'Wednesday evening at the Royal Artillery Insti tution, Woolwich, by Major-Gen. Wilford, R.A., late Governor of the Royal Military Academy. The lecturer dwelt strongly upon the great value of our North American possessions as nurseries for seamen, and as elements of the naval power of the empire, and maintained that since the Canadians ardently desired to remain British subjects, and were liable to be attacked by the Americans in revenge for real or supposed injuries received from us, we were bound by every principle of honour and duty to defend them with the whole force of the empire. It was the interest of England that some counterpoise should exist in North America to the power of the United States. He Pointed out that the population of British North America, now ap proaching 3,500,000, ought to afford at least 150,000 fighting men; that such a force fighting on their own ground, with the aid of 50,000 or 60,000 British troops, and due naval 00-operation, ought to be able to defend Canada and New Brunswick. He strongly advocated the comple tion of all necessary defences at Halifax, as a great naval and military depot for war in America, the construction of a fortress on the frontier of New Brunswick, the speedy completion of the intercolo nial railway, the necessary work rt,.. Quebec, the fortification of Montreal and Kingston, the protection from naval attack of Toronto and Hamilton on Lake Ontario, the building of fortresses on the Niagara frontier between Lakes Ontario and ' Erie, and on the St. Clair river, between Erie and Lake Huron, as places of security for depots of military stores, treasure, archives, &c., and as valuable supports to defensive operations. General Wilford expessed a decided opinion, founded on the personal experience of several Canadian winters which he had passed, of the impossibility of carrying on extensive military operations at that season in such a climate, alluding to the risk he had been ex posed to of frost-bites, due to but very moderate contact with the cold. Finally, he had no doubt, he said, of our power to defend Canada had we but the will. The four 121 ton 10.5-inch smooth-bore 150- pounder guns received at Portsmouth for the Mino taur iron frigate are ordered to be shipped on board that vessel at as early a date as possible. After the guns have been placed on board the frigate she will receive a certain number of officers and seamen, and proceed on a short cruise to test the training of the guns in a seaway with the ordinary side tackles. Such, at least, are the present orders, but as the ship has only two out of the four blades of her screw shipped it is not improbable these orders may be considerably modified. No orders have yet been definitely given by the authorities relative to the frigate's entire armament. In accordance with the instructions issued from the Admiralty to Capt. Cowper P. Coles, R.N., and to the Master-Shipwright's Department of Ports mouth Dockyard, the chief draughtsman of the Portsmouth yard has prepared a set of drawings, under Capt. Coles's supervision and direction, of a seagoing turret ship embodying Capt. Coles's ideas in full of the turret principle as applicable to a seagoing ship. The vessel is designed to carry 600-pounder guns or "Big Wills " in her turrets, and the drawings, complete in all details, were sent in to the Admiralty by Capt. Coles during the first week in the present month. Messrs. Edmund C. Chippendale and John L. Marx have been nominated to naval cadetships. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty :—Staff-Commander Geo. H. Love ridge, additional, to the Dauntless ; Lieut. F. Hardy, to command the Gleaner, in lieu of the Tilbury; Sub- Lieut. Fred. J. Rendell, to the Serpent ; Llewellyn S. Dawson, midshipman, to the Serpent ; Constan tine Keenan, surgeon, to the Assurance ; T. H. Tay 'kir, surgeon, to the Serpent ; H. E. Kitchen, pay master, to the Serpent; J. F.

The court of directors are now enabled to bring under the notice of the members a plan for the future manage ment of the affairs of this society, consequent upon the final refusal of the Economic Society to proceed with the proposed transfer to them. This plan the directors trust will be considered satisfactory and meet with general ap proval, as securing to the assured in this society the utmost that can fairly be expected in liquidation of the claims upon the policies as they fall in, with the advantage of a lien upon the present realized capital of the society to meet the payment of the claims. Although some months have elapsed in arriving at this point, it may be satisfactory to the mem bers to be informed that the time has been expended not merely in maturing the present proposal, but also in a pre vious negotiation with an office of well-known character and stability, to effect a transfer upon terms mutually advan tageous, but which it appeared that the restricted powers of that society precluded their carrying into effect. The directors have now concluded a provisional arrangement with the Norwich Union Life Insurance Society, by which that society, assuming the assets and liabilities of the Amicable, will guarante e th e paymen t of all claims on Charter policies, whenever falling due, at the rate of £227 for every share of £2OO ; an d also the claims on bonus policies, the future additions being calculate d in every y ear upon the principles dictated by the society' s Act of _Parlia ment and bye-laws, and based upon the sum of £22 7 as the policy-holders upon an equal footing w i t h the permanent annual actual dividend per share ; thus pl acing the bonus holders of Charter policies. The Norwich Union Society will receive the annual co ntributions in resp ec t of the Amicable policies and the income from the Amicable in vestment. But the whole of the p roperty of the Amicable S o ciety is to be v ested in and. man aged by trustees, and is to be applied in aid of the cont r ib ut i ons and income towards the payment of claims. Thus, to the Amicable assured on the Charter system, the a c t ua l dividend, now fluctuating with the mortality and events of the year, will be fixed at the p ermanen t sum of £227 p er s h are, and the bonus policy-ho lders will have the benefit resulting from this dividend ; ineach case without dimi nu ti on f or future expenses of management, and free f r O m a ll risk of loss or reduction of the dividend. This amount of £227 is in excess of the actual dividend payable for the past year, ending on the 4th April inst., and has been found to be the utmost that could fairly be expected by the assured in this society. In this statement the directors are confirmed by the opinion of Professor De Morgan. The directors have had the opportunity of ascer taining the soundness and stability of the Norwich Union Life Insurance Society,which is an office for mutual assur ance, with an accumulated capital of about £2,000,000 sterling, and annual income from premiums and investments exceeding £230,000 per annum. Their affairs and capital are nearly distinct from those of the Norwich Union Office. A memorandum of terms, embodying the details, signed on behalf of both societies (a printed copy whereof accom panies this letter), will be submitted for the approval of the general court ; and the directors confidently and unani mously recommend its adoption.
