This Company is formed for the purpose of building and repairing men-of-war and merchant vessels of every de scription (especially ironclad frigates, corvettes, gunboats, steam and other vessels), also for constructing dockyards in the well-known port of Kiel. The capital of the Company is ten million of thalers, of which the first issue is one-half, viz., five million thalers, in 25,000 Shares of 200 thalers, or £3O each. The Company is empowered to commence operationsas soon as the fourth part of the first issue of shares is subscribed. The capital will be called up according to the progress of the works. As the Company will not be able to commence work much before the expiration of the first year, 4 per cent. interest will be paid upon the subscribed capital for that period. The first issue of the capital of the Company is considered to be sufficient for the purchase of land, construction of works, and working capital. The second issue can only be made by a resolution to be passed by a general meeting of the Shareholders. The Royal Prussian Ministry of Marine has granted to this Company the preference for the building and repairing of all their vessels, and an order for an ironclad frigate will be given so soon as the Company is in a position to com mence work. A suitable site for the docks and ship-building works has been purchased, and approve I of by the Royal Prussian Ministry of Marine. The land situated near to Altona and Kiel Railroad, facing the town of Kiel, has been purchased on highly advantageous terms. The town of Kiel has willingly granted, free of charge to the Company, the right of re claiming a considerable portion of the harbour contiguous to the Company's land. this ssotaobmlipashmny possesses, of a similar kind in other the e u T n e h t d e sueriveseres advantage es of well known, and it mu s t be acknowledged that Royal Prussian Minist r y of Marine,must secureprot e protected e p d r e b h y ta t b h i e e results Certificatesto the Shareholders. ofreh oe l rs.

Unparalleled Attractions for One Guinea only. See Pro gramme. • The Poor-law Board has addressed the following letter in reference to this case to the vestry of St. Giles : "Poor-law Board, Whitehall, S.W., May 10. " Sir,—l am directed by the Poor-law Board to inform you that they have received from their inspector, Mr. Farnall, his report on the inquiry which he recently held into the circumstances connected with the death of Richard Gibson on the 10th of February last in the work house of the united parishes of St. Gilei-in-the-Fields and St. George, BloOmsbury, on whom a coroner's inquest was held, and whose death the jury found by their verdict to have been owing to serum on the brain accelerated by neglect.' The board have also received from Mr. Farnall the depositions of the witnesses examined at his inquiry. " It appears from the evidence that Richard Gibson was admitted into the workhouse on the 9th of June, 1864, and as he was suffering from a sore leg he was placed in a ward set apart for the reception of men with complaints of that kind. On the 29th of October, as the ulcerated state of his leg had become offensive to other occupants of this ward, Richard Gibson was removed to Ward No. 47. On the 16th December, in consequence of the illness of Mr. Bennett, the medical officer of the workhouse, Dr. Craig, the assistant medical officer,was appointed by the directors to act as medical officer in chief, and Richard Gibson came under his care at that time, and continued to be so until his death, on the 10th of February following. " The circumstances under which this case formed the subject of investigation are as follows : CRYSTAL PALACE.- FLOWER SHOW NEXT SATURDAY, NOTE.—The unusually fine season and othercauses, already give promise that. high as the Crystal Palace Flower Shows have hitherto stood in public estimation, the coming exhibi tion will be one of the very finest on record.

A. NIMMO, Acting Manager. " The day before Richard Gibson's death Felix Magee, an inmate s of the workhouse, occupying the same ward with Gibson, wrote to Sir Thomas Henry, the chief magis trate at Bow-street, informing him that Gibson was cruelly and inhumanely neglected in the workhouse, and that ho was dying. Sir Thomas Henry immediately sent George Manners, a police constable, to the workhouse, and on the 9th of February he saw Gibson in Ward No. 47 of the workhouse. George Manners in his affidavit says : ' When I saw Gibson he was in a most dreadful state. I never saw a human being in so dreadful a condition—he was delirious, he had a large wound in his back, his brown skin was marked with red spots like marks from itch or vermin, his person was in a filthy condition ; his shirt was soiled with excrement, and his sheets were slightly soiled in the same way ; there was a most nauseous smell about him ; his hair was very much matted.' "In the evidence given by Mr. Bennett, the medical officer of the workhouse, who saw the deceased the day before he died, he states that he considers the evidence given by George Manners is substantially correct. " Mary Gibson, the niece of Richard Gibson, deposes that she visited him about once in three weeks ; that ho frequently complained to her of want of nourishment and attention ; and that the patients who were in the same ward with the deceased told her that he required more nourish ment and more attention. " The Board have very carefully considered the deposi tions of the several witnesses who gave evidence at the investigation, and they consider that it has been clearly established that the deceased was left in a disgraceful state of neglect as regards his personal cleanliness for some time before his death. It appears that in addition to being ne glected in this respect he was kept in a ward intended for convalescents, which is not provided with the conveniences necessary for bed-ridden patients ; and it is further to be inferred that he was not supplied with suitable and suffi cient nourishment and stimulants. " For the neglect of the deceased's personal condition the Board consider that the paid nurse, Mrs. Elson, who is responsible for the conduct of the pauper nurses acting under her directions, is principally to blame ; and that Dr. Craig, being responsible for the medical treatment of the deceased, is properly chargeable with the neglect to obtain for him the stimulants and extra diet which his state ren dered necessary. " The board find that it is alleged in extenuation of the neglect of duty on the part both of Dr. Craig and Mrs. El son that no complaint was made to them or the master of the workhouse either by the deceased himself or by any other inmate on his behalf. It also appears that Dr. Craig, a week before the death of Richard Gibson, was himself suffering under premonitory symptoms of typhus, by which he was laid up two or three days after Gibson's death. " Dr. Craig alleges that ho visits every patient daily— that he went to the bed of Richard Gibson every day, but did not speak to or examine hini so often ; that he exa mined his leg once a week and ordered dressings for it, but did not see that the dressings were applied. Dr. Craig further states that he thinks that the diet allowed to the deceased was sufficient; but it appears that he was not allowed meat every day until about a fortnight, nor any beer until four days before his death; and that no food was supplied to him between 4 o'clock in the afternoon and 8 o'clock the following morning. The board hare not failed to observe that, in the evidence given before the coroner by Mr. Beale, who made the post mortem examination of the deceased, he states that ' the cause of his death was inde pendent of the filth on his body, and that death was owing to ' the effusion of serum on the brain.' It appears, more over, that the ulcer on his leg, for which the deceased had been principally under medical treatment, was better, and had been reduced to a small size. "Although the board think that, in justice to the medical officer and the nurse, this statement of Mr. Beale should be borne in mind, they still are of opinion that Dr. Craig, by failing to ascertain the personal condition of the deceased, and neglecting to order for him such articles of nourish ment as he required, and that Mrs. Elson, by omitting to insure proper attention to his personal comforts and clean liness have so gravely neglected their duties that the board would not be justified in permitting either of them to con tinue in the offices which they at present hold. The board therefore request that the directors will communicate this decision to Dr. Craig and Mrs. Elson, and require them at once to resign their respective offices as assistant medical officer and nurse at the workhouse. "On perusing the deposition of Mr. Rankley, the master of the workhouse, the board observe that he stated as fol lows The infirmary has always been considered to be under the special care of the medical officer of the work house and the nurses.' The board consider it necessary that it should be distinctly pointed out to Mr. Rankley that as the chief officer of the workhouse the infirmary as well as all other parts of the establishment are under his general superintendence, and that he is responsible for the good management of the sick wards equally with the other por tions of the workhouse. " The board therefore cannot absolve him from blame for the neglect which has occurred in this case, and will in future hold him strictly responsible for the state and man agement of tho infirmary.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, (Signed) " ENFIELD, Secretary.

The amount last year was £2,859,945, and this year the vote proposed is £2,897,515—an increase of £37,570 ; but nearly half the increase is made up of sums required to make good deficiencies in last year's vote. There aro further charges for courts of justice not voted annually, but paid out of the Consolidated Fund, amounting to £671,978 ; but, on the other hand, there aro largo sums paid into the Exchequer for fees received. It would be tedious to go over the 47 votes comprised in this class of the estimates, and it will be more convenient to state them thus :—The votes proposed for police and constabulary amount to £1,200,439 ; for criminal proceedings the charges amount to £379,716 ; for courts of justice, £459,252; and for prison and convict ser vices, £858,108. The estimate for convict prisons at home is for 10,903 prisoners in convict prisons (almost exactly the same number as last year), and for 900 convicts under probationary discipline in county gaols until otherwise dis posed of, and 770 criminal lunatics in lunatic asylums, in cluding 500 " patients" at Broadmoor. Provision is made for the expenses of the transportation of 540 male convicts to Australia and 250 to Gibraltar, and for the maintenance of 900 convicts at Gibraltar, of 90 in New South Wales, 780 in Tasmania, and 1,450 in Western Australia, being 9 less than last year in Now South Wales, 25 less in Tas mania, and 156 more in Western Australia. There is, as before, an item of £5,000 for promoting tho emigration and settlement of free persons in places which receive convicts. A Paris letter in the /nde'pendance of Brussels states that M. ellais-Bizoin, member of the Legislative Body, has recently written and read to his friends a new three-act drama entitled "La Jeunesse do Byron." TIIE COTTON TRADE AT PRESTON.—TweIve mills which have been stopped during periods varying from 18 months to 4 years have just been opened for work, and several which have been running short time for many mouths are commencing to run longer hours. Messrs Ilorrockses, Miller, and Co., who employ between 3,000 and 4,000 operatives, have just extended their time of working from four and a half to fivo days per week, and in a few days it is expected that all their mills will be running full time. A new mill, built by Mr. Calvert during the cotton panic, has been started, and another, erected by Messrs. Birley, Beaumont, and Co., has likewise bewa i l opened within the past few bye.

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 QUACKS OF LONDON. A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the " lfedical 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 certain Quacks, frau dulent and noisome, who obtain mbney 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 miscreants, with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, needful to be known, will be found in the pamphb t 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, Strand, 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 sully set forth in " Revelations of Quacks and Qackery." And mark especlally that, as aforesaid, the name; of the Quacks are published. The pamphlet in 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, white they invoke your indignation and disgust. 01 course you do not want it on account of its warnings for your own sake, but you doubtless do for that of the many simple tons with whom you must be acquainted, ii your acquaint ance is large. " Who are tne Quacks that 'Punch' means ?"

Tho sales are, no doubt, the chief attraction at York Spring, as but for them the meeting would scarcely attract the attendance it does.. The Rawcliffe yearlings disposed of this morning by Mr. R. Tattersall hardly came up to the mark of former years, either in price or quality. The Newminsters and the Loam ingtons, with ono of the Claret's (brother to Bacchus), were the best-looking and commanded the best prices, Lord Stamford giving the highest figure-900 guineas —for a very handsome Newminster filly out of Queen Bee, after some smart bidding between him and Mr. Pardee. Brother to Bacchus fell to Mr. Henry for 570 guineas. The course was in capital order after the recent rains, of which Knavesmiro will take a great deal without being much affected thereby. The grandand private subscription stands did not present the gay appearance they do in August, so many of the county families being absent in town, but the general public was in great force. The first two races were both close struggles, the first between Lozenge and Lady of Coverdale in the Craven Stakes, and the second between Valentine and Castanet in the Zotland, Mr. Hodgman's filly being nearly caught by Fordham in the latter in the last few strides. The time at which we are obliged to despatch our parcel from the course prevents us noticing the chief event of the afternoon, the Great Northern Handicap, the particulars of which, with the others, we leave the telegraph to tell.

The flag was lowered to an indifferent start, in which Lady of Coverdale and Inca got away side by side, Lozenge going on third, Minie being last. They ran in these positions to the distance, where Inca was beaten, and Lady of Coverdale was joined by Lozenge, who in the next few strides obtained a slight advantage, which he retained to the end, and won after a slashing set-to by a short head. Minie, who passed Inca half-way down, finished a bad third. The Zetland Stakes, of 5 soya each, with 50 added, for 2-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 101 b; fillies and geldings, Bst 61b Winners extra, with certain allowances.

Betting-5 to 4 agst Valentine, Bto 1 agst Osiris, 10 to 1 each agst Applecross and Credulity- An admirable start was effected at the first attempt, the lot getting away nearly in a line, but after running a few strides, Valentine, next the rails, obtained a slight lead, at tended by Credulity, Osiris, Castanet, and Honesty to the distance, where Credulity headed the favourite, but in a few strides further she gave way to Castanet, who joined Mr. Hodgman's filly, the pair finishing a close and exciting race home, Valentine, who ran the longest, winning at last by a head. Castanet defeated Credulity three lengths for second, the latter finishing a head in advance of Osiris, Honesty fifth, Bachelor sixth, and Murillo next. Chessman was last. The Great Northern Handicap of 200 sous., added to a sweepstakes of 20 soy& each, 10 ft., and only 5 if declared; winners extra, ' Tho second horse to receive 50 soya. out of the stakes..

Macbeth, with the intention of making some use of his weight, slipped his horses immediately the flag was lowered, and proceeded on with the command several lengths of Gon dola, Club Queen, Cathedral, and Brown Bread, who lay in a body. To thesO succeeded Welcome, Sidewind, and Stan ton ; Claxton and the Clown, who were the last two, being a long way in the rear of everything as they rounded the turn for Dringhouses. Their positions were retained to the T.Y.C. post, where Brown Bread quitted his rearward posi tion and went on second, closely attended by Sidewind, Cathedral,• and Welcome, who were joined, as they traversed the wood side, by Stanton, and as they rounded the bend into the straight he became third, and followed the leaders into the distance, where Macbeth and his immediate fol lower, Brown Bread, gave way, and Sidewind, with Cathe dral at her girths, came on with the running, closely followed by Stanton and the favourite, to the road, where Mr. Hud son's colt came to the front,and in the next few strides get ting the best of his adversaries won very cleverly by a length. Three lengths separated the second and third, and a length divided the third and fourth ; Welcome was a bad fifth, Brown Bread sixth, Clown seventh, and Club Queen next.

SALE OF THE RAW OLIFFE YEARLINGS. Yesterday (Tuesday), at York, Messrs. Tattersall held the 13th annual sale of the yearlings, the property of the Rawcliffe Joint-Stock Stud Farm Company. The attend ance was very large indeed, but, upon the whole, two or throe lots excepted, the sale was not brisk.

PUGILISM. JOHN. LEAD AND JEREMIAH HANVICES MR £5O A-SIDE.— The match between those lads was looked forward to by the metropolitan supporters of the fistic art with more than ordinary interest, for, from the capabilities of the mon as a couple of clever and skilful operators, the tourney was fully expected in all respects to be one in which a fine masterly exposition of the points would be displayed on the part of both. Lead's most important match prior to hisengagement now under notice was when he contended with George Holden, of Walsall, for £5O a side. This battle was fought in the home circuit, on Sept. 3, 1863, when, after a gallant and most exciting tourney, Lead proved the winner—there being 45 clever and scientific rounds fought in ono hour 15 minutes. For that match Lead was backed by Mr. W. Richardson, Blue Anchor, Church-street, Bethnal-green who has long been acknowledged the leading sporting man in connection with pugilistic doings at the East. Hawkes's principal battle before the meeting of yesterday was with Ned Collins, for £25 a side, whom he vanquished, there be ing 22 long rounds contested in two hours and 50 minutes. J. Lead is 25 years of age, and stands sft. 2in., while Hawkes, who is two years his junior, tops the standard at sft. 511 in. Thus it will be seen that both are in the first bloom of manhood, and also in the first blush of their career? when great things might be expected from both. The men were confined to Bst., and on Monday they went to scale, when Lead had run the matter so fine that ho was not more than just able to pass muster. The start from the metropolis had been arranged to take place at an early hour, and after a run of some thirty odd miles, the ring was formed by the commissary on a well selected spot. Lead was the first to step within the ropes, and he had for " counsel" two of the busiest workers that could be well selected. Hawkes, who lost no time in following his oppo nent into the ring, had also a couple of able seconds, both of whom in their time have figured honourably within the lists. The toss for corner was won by Jerry, who turned his back on the sun which was nowblazing away magnifi cently; the weather, forming as it did a pleasant contrast to that of the preceding day, being all that could be desired- The odds were 7 to 4 in favour of Lead, and by 10 minutes to 9 o'clock the lads were conducted to the scratch, and their seconds having " broke" the combination, and drew back to their respective corners, they were left to put them selves in attitude. Lead had stated prior to entering the ring that he never was in better condition, but now that he was in the buff it became evident he had a groat deal more ' on him in the shape of superfluous beef than was consistent with high condition. Hawkes, on the contrary, looked as fit as a man could be. From the opening bout Jerryevinced a decided predilection for his own side of the ring, for they had no sooner touched the centre than ho drew out and got near the ropes. Lead was determined to let no time be lost—he at once followed his man up, but to the surprise of all his movements lacked the precision in ac tion that had before distinguished him. He, however, was eager to get to his man for the purpose of forcing the fighting, and in the exchanges at half-arm that took place in Hawkes's corner Jerry obtained the first of the leading events. Indeed Hawkes, to the astonishment of Lead's friends, took a decided lead, and, as Jack dashed at him to force the pace, he got home with both mawleys in the counter hitting in a manner little anticipated. The rounds wore of a bustling character, for Lead no sooner came up than he went to his man and forced the battle; and there can be no doubt his counsel acted with good judgment in thus urging him to go and rouse his man up. Up to the eighth round the battle was decidedly in favour of Hawkes, but in the ninth, tenth, and eleventh rounds Lead, who was now fighting more in old form than ho had yet done, had the advantage, so that his friends became as confident as over, and he certainly, on the body and head, succeeded in administering with the right and left most effectually. As the men came forth for the commencement of the twelfth round the police broke into the ring, so that the comba tants had to at once beat a hasty retreat, the battle having lasted 40 minutes, and, from the appearance of the lads, it was apparent nothing serious was the matter. When the ring had for a second time been formed Hawkes, to the surprise of all, refused to renew the contest, alleging that ho had sustained some injury to his right arm, but thero can be no doubt that he had a stronger motive than this for losing in the manner he did, and that the finish of the tourney is a disgrace to him. THE COTTON DISTRICTS.--A sign of improvement in the cotton trade is seen in the cessation of the operations of the Relief Committees of Preston and Black burn. The former closed on Saturday. The largest num ber on the books of the committee was in the winter of 1862, when 40,000 persons were relieved. At this time tho guardians have 4,563 persons on their books. £130,000 has been spent in relief in Preston since the beginning of the " cotton famine." In Blackburn the same state of things prevails, but not on such a large scale. DEATH OF SIR THOMAS STAPLES, BART.—The bar of Ireland has to deplore the loss of one of its greatest ornaments in Sir Thomas Staples, Bart., who died about eight o'clock on Sunday night, at his residence in Merrion-square, Dublin. The melancholy event was not unexpected, as the venerable gentleman had been confined to bed for several days, and had far passed the usual limit of human existence, having nearly completed his 90th year. By his demise is broken perhaps the last link which con nected the present generation with the past—the Ireland of to-day with the Ireland of ante-Union times ; for Si Thomas was the last surviving member of the Irish Parlia ment, in which assembly he represented first the borough of Coleraine, and subsequently Knocktopher, in the county of Kilkenny. lie was one of those who voted against the Act of Union. An able lawyer, an accomplished scholar, and a courteous gentleman, the deceased baronet was universally esteemed ; while, by the members of his own profession—of which for several years he was recognised as the " father"—he was regarded with that reverential re spect only accorded to distinguished talents combined with benevolence and wisdom. Ho is succeeded in the baronetcy by his nephew, Mr. Nathaniel Alexander Staples, who was born in 1817.
