As at present constituted, the esta feethraent comprises a first-class stone-built Dry Dock, 260 o hms 52 feet, in perfect working condition, with steam -8-ine, circular-saw gear, smiths' shops, timber sheds, offices, and buildings, with f ir. On and other necswssary N:l7 ,; al l", all in goodrepair. On the premises there is a capital , i us kiln, four excellent dwelling-houses, suitable for the razager and employs of the Company, six cottages for creme -a, dm., a good. supply of fresh water, and an abund ance of lime and building stone. It is proposed to lengthen the present dry dock 50 feet, to construct two additional dry docks and one large float ing dock, to be divided by caissons ; also additional frontage quays, and to extend the appliances generally, with the View of the construction and repair of iron and wooden ships, the manufacturing of marine and other engines, armour and other plate, angle iron, and every description of iron work. For the purposes of the Company the position of the premises is not to be suypassed(as will be seen by the plan) ; they are in close proximity to Sutton Harbour, forming the seaboard of Catwater anchorage, and are completely sheltered; first by . the Plymouth Breakwater, and next by'the peninsula of Mount Batten, in addition to which t he approaches to the premises are completely com manded by the guns of the citadel. The Branch Station of the South Devon Railway Company is situated in the immediate vicinity, and her Majesty's Dockyard, Devon- Port, is within an easy distance. This Company will offer unusual facilities for carrying On the proposed business in consequence of both labour and the f re i g h t o f i ron, coa l , an d ti m b er being extremely "v, added to whi c h muc h expense will be saved, as the materials will b e d e li vere d on the quays of the Company free of all dues and charges. At present there are no Iron Shipbuilding Works at Plymouth, and m uc h inconvenience and expense often re sult to shipowners in consequence of vessels outward bound having to put back to London for repair. The Directors consider it unnecessary to allude to the other ad vantages possessed by this Company, further than to state that there is a great and growing demand for such works as they propose to carry on. The operations of tho Company will bo conducted by Mr. Joseph Banks, who will devote his well-known expe lience exclusively to the interests of the Company, aided by gentlemen of acknowledged mechanical skill. As the whole of the valuable property has been ceded to the Direc tors upon terms which are considered highly advantag eous ' the profitabl e resu l t of the undertaking may be deemed as assured. Interest at the rate of £6 per cent. is guaranteed for three Years by the International Contract Company (Limited). In the event of no a ll o t ment of Shares being made, the deposit will be returned in full. Should a less number of Shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will be read() available towards the payment on allotment, and the balance (if any) returned to the applicant.

GUIDE TO THE QUACKS OF LONDON. A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the " siedical 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 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 advertisine, columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of Hr." 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 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,, 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 fully set forth in " Revelations of Quacks and Qackery." And mark especially that, as aforesaid, the names 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, if your acquaint ance is large.

EPSOM SPRING MEETING.-TUESDAY. A hill destitute of carriages, an air of thorough business pervading the comparatively limited number of persons present, a Grand Stand whose native ugliness was not con cealed by the multitude that crowd it on the last week in May, and a total absence of all the features that distinguish our groat Carnival, such is Epsom Spring Meeting. In one respect, indeed, it might have been Epsom Summer. The sun poured down its rays fiercer than we have sometimes felt in the Derby week, and the toilets, masculine and femi nine, savoured of July rather than April. The two prin cipal events of the meeting, the City and Suburban and the Metropolitan Handicaps, have not commanded that amount of interest which past years have exhibited. The public have; on the whole, wisely abstained from " taking liber ties," as the phrase is, with horses about whose starting or non-starting they were profoundly ignorant. Fortunate will it be if the reckless spirit of gambling receives a 'per manent check from the numerous scratchings of which we have lately heard so much, and a more wholesome state of affairs, post betting, become the order of the day. The City and Suburban had, however, its tale of -dead, and Perfumer, Blue Mantle, Lampoon, Lucky Star, Sheri dan, &c., were among the defunct ones. The Grinder had kept his position firmly as first favourite, and Accident, from his Newmarket running, came at Tattersalls' on Mon day into great demand. Indeed, the quotations against anything else were almostnominal. Paris was in extremely bad odour, so much so that it was asserted he, also, would be among the non-starters. But this afternoon, shortly after the commencement of racing, there were symptoms of his being brought back from retirement, and he actually started first favourite. Such are the mysteries of betting. Mr. Ten Broeck's horse, however, as will be gathered from the account of the race, was soon out of it, and a fine struggle between Tho Grinder and old Argonaut, result ing in the victory of the latter extreme outsider by a head, rewarded the sagacious few who had been fortunate enough to back him at 25 to 1. The other racing was of comparative unimportance. Qui Vive carried off the Two-Year-Old Stakes, not, however, without being closely run by Valentine ; and old Twilight, in the first race of the day, gave Birchbroom what the Yankees call " a handsome beating." The weather has never been finer or the attendance larger since the Spring Meeting was established. The Trial Stakes of 50 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 5 soya each ; for 3-yr-olds and upwards.

Upwards of half an hour was consumed at the post in consequence of the extreme fractiousness of several of the light weights, among whom Romola, Joss-stick, Poodle, Bay Leaf, and The Gem were the most conspicuous, the last running the course before she could be stopped. In the actual start they left the post in a wide, straggling, and un satisfactory manner, Black Duchess, Bay Leaf, and Lydia being left a long way in the rear. On settling into their places Romola, in the centre, held a slight lead of Hesper, closo up with whom on the left was Joss-stick, these three being several lengths in advance of The Gem, Blackbird, Dolphin, and Nip, the others being widely spread. They retained these positions to tho enclosure, when Joss-stick was beaten and gave way to The Gem and Blackbird, who followed the leaders to the Stand, whore Fordham made his effort, and headed the favourite as they neared the chair, and won a splendid race by a neck. The Gem was beaten from the two, Black bird was fourth, :close up with whom were Nip, fifth, Joss-stick, sixth, and Dolphin next. The last three were those left at the post—Black Duchess, Bayleaf, and Lydia. The City and Suburban Handicap, of 15 goys each, 10 ft, and 5 soya if declared, with 100 sous added; winners extra.

A few failures preceded the actual start, in which Argo naut on the lower side got away slightly in advance of Co lumbia, Arkansas, Connection, Grinder, and Muezzin, who formed the advanced guard, but after running some half a dozen strides the former was pulled back, and the com mand was left with Contraband, who held a clear lead through the furzes, having Arkansas, Muezzin, Convoca tion, and Grinder as his immediate followers, the next di vision being headed by Argonaut, on the left, close up with whom were Swordsman, Columbia, Accident, Friday, and Advance, and several lengths in the rear travelled on Madame Walton, Moulsey, Paris, and Agatha in a body, whipped in by Menace, Soumise, and the Pirate. With some trifling exceptions these positions were preserved to the road, shortly after making the turn, where the leaders split, Contraband dropping back, followed in a few strides further by Arkansas. Wells then brought Argonaut up on the lower ground, and, heading Muezzin, at once assumed the lead, closely followed in the centre of the course by Tho Grinder, Swordsman, Accident, Moulsey, and Ad vance, to which lot the race was reduced as they reached the distance. At the Stand, Grimshaw brought up Grinder, and for a brief period appeared to have the best of it, but Wells having indulged his horse with a judicious draw, came again a few strides from home, and landed the popu lar cherry colour the winner by a head ; two lengths separated the second and third ; and a similar distance the third and fourth. Moulsey finished fifth, close up with with whom were Accident, Advance, Soumise, and Con ' nexion, who headed a lot of puffing-up horses.

A special general meeting of this company was hold at Manchester yesterday, Mr. G. Wilson in the chair, for the purpose of considering Bills now before Parliament. The first was a Bill to vest in the Lancashire and York shire Company and the Lancashire Union Company jointly certain portions of railway near Blackburn. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the approval of the Bill, ex plained that the line in question was from Chorley to Cherry Tree; one-half of the expense was to be borne by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company. The motion was agreed to unanimously. The second was a bill to authorise the widening of the Blackpool branch of the Preston and Wyre Railway. The CHAIRMAN said this company would bear two-thirds of the expense—£l6,ooo ; the London and North-Western Company the other third. The bill was approved. Tho third was a bill to authorise the making of the Lud deaden Valley Railway, working arrangements with the Lancashire and Yorkshire, and to enable the latter company to subscribe capital. The CHAIRMAN said the capital would be £22,000, of which this company would take £ll,OOO. The bill was approved, and the meeting adjourned to the 24th of May to consider two other bills not yet ready. PERNAMBTJCO. The half-yearly meeting of this companywas held yester day at the London Tavern ; Mr. R. Benson in the chair. A [The report, an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, said that the question of extending the guarantee remained as before. It had passed the Chamber of Deputies by a large majority, and on the assembling of the Brazilian Parliament on the 3d or 4th of May would be submitted to the Senate. The directors had not been idle in the meantime ; they had petitioned the Emperor on the subject, applied to their friends to forward the matter,and had sent out their manager to re present the company in Brazil. He (the chairman) had no doubt whatever that the question would be settled forthwith. He believedthe extended guarantee would be laid before the Senate for its sanction as soon as possible, but he did not expect that they would have an answer until the mail in August next. If the news should arrive before the August mail, the shareholders would receive a cir cular informing them of the result. So far as he could judge, there was almost a certainty of obtaining the exten sion of the guarantee. The debentures of the company were quoted at 95 and 96, and it would not do, therefore, to force them out at a discount. Until they got this matter settled, or were enabled to issue their debentures at par, they could not pay the dividends for the two past half years in cash. They owed 1.40,000 to the bankers, and when they could raise the requisite sum on their debentures they would be able to pay off all their debts and liabilities. They proposed to issue deferred warrants for the proposed dividend at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum for the past half-year. They had settled with their late contractor, Mr. Furness, and an end had been put to a very extensive lawsuit. He thought, however, that if it had been con tinued the company might have got better terms than those by se thottled E ta b ra y arbitration, z th il enGovernio. ho h o wh t ich T had y h si o n d tvcerebeeeenead a letterpproved from their acting manager, who stated that the permanent way was in good order, and they had obtained a native Wood for sleepers that would stand the climate well, and could be had for about half the cost of creosoted sleepers. The timber only required to have the bark stripped off, and to be stacked in the dry season. The carriages and waggons were also in good order. The traffic receipts for the month of January showed an increase of £1,311, those for February an increase of £716, and for March £973, being together £3,000, or 20 percent. over the receipts for the corresponding three months of last year. The working expenses in January amounted to 471 per cent. of the receipts, in February to 50 per cent., and in March to 48k per cent. The manager thought the' receipts might be increased 50 per cent. without incurring a corresponding increase in the working expenses. The maintenance of the permanent way would be about the same cost as at present. The whole staff enjoyed good health, and the traffic was going on favourably. The traffic in sugar and cotton was increasing, and the increase of receipts was shown:at all the stations. If the company had sufficient rolling stock it was believed that the traffic would very soon cover the guarantee, but that was a ques tion which concerned the Government more than the com pany at present, the latter having already supplied alarger quantity of rolling stock than they were bound to provide under the concession. They were, of course, anxious to make the line as productive as possible. Mr. DICKSON seconded the motion for the adoption of the report. ' In reply to questions, it was stated that the roads to the railway were in course of construction. The extended con cession would give the proprietors a clear dividend of 6 per cont. per annum, instead of the 7 per cent. originally ex pected. The tariff charged on passengers was rather more than that of the Great Northern Railway Company, but it had been fixed by the Government, and was working satis factorily. The original capital of the company was £1,200,000, they had borrowed on debentures £275,000, and the Brazilian Government had lent them £400,000 to complete the line, making together £1,875,000; but about £1,840,000 would cover everything. The line was opened throughout by the end of 1862, and the extended guarantee would com mence from that time. There would, therefore, be two years' arrears of interest due to them on that account. The proposed extension to the harbour of Recife would cost £130,000, and was under the consideration of the Govern ment. Resolutions were passed adopting the report, authorising the issue of deferred dividend warrants for the dividend at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum declared for the past half year, and on the motion of Mr. Flasher, seconded by Mr. MGarel, the payment of the allowance to the directors and concessionaires for their services was to be resumed from the date of the last payment of it, after the issue of the debentures. The conversion of the shares into stock was postponed until the next meeting, and the proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. BRECON AND MERTHYR TVDVIL. A special meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office, Bridge-street, Westminster, Mr. Banks in tho chair. The CHAIRMAN said the meeting had been convened for the purpose of sanctioning certain working and other ar rangements made by the directors. He then moved resolu tions sanctioning the working arrangements entered into between the directors and the contractors, the working ar rangements made between the company and the Hereford, Hay, and Brecon Company, approving the steps taken by the directors to acquire additional rolling stock, and autho rizing the conversion of the preference and ordinary shares of the company into stock. Mr. MORRISH seconded the resolutions, which were unanimously adopted. --, CAPE TOWN. The report of the directors states that during the half year ending the 31st of December last the renewal of sleepers amounted to £3,800. The number of passengers conveyed was 38,484, and 9,688 tons of goods on the main lino, and 10,700 passengers on the Wynberg branch, during the first fortnight of its being opened for public traffic, with a gross receipt of £14,459, and a profit of £770 in addition to the proportion of guaranteed interest pay able by tho Colonial Government, The sum of £8,755 was available for dividend for the past half-year, and the directors recommended that a dividend be declared on the capital stock of the company at the rate of 3i per cent. per annum. With the sanction of the Local Government the directors had accepted the lease of the Wynberg branch for 19 years at a rent of £3,700 a year to commence from the completion of the line, to facilitate which the Board had sanctioned an advance of £lO,OOO to the Wynbergrompany on the security of their debentures, bearing interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. The Board had by no means abandoned their opposition to the act of the Colonial Legislature, giving running powers to the Wynberg Company over their line from Salt River to Cape Town. It appeared that 259,794 passengers and 45,455 tons of goods had been carried over the line since its open ing in Feb., 1862, to 31st Dec. last. For the months of Jan. and Feb. last the receipts on the main lino amounted to £3,342 for 16,473 passengers, and to £2, 452 for 3 , 878 tons of goods; and on the Wynberg line to £2,235 for the convey ance of 37,456 passengers, making a total for th e two months of £8,030. The capital account showed th at £703,590 had been expended. The revenue account for the half-year, ending the 31st of December, showed that £14,458 had been received, and £13,688 expended, leaving a balance of £770. RAILWAY BILLS.

The second day of the Paris Spring Races was held this day in the Bois de Boulogne, and was more numerously attended than on the opening day last week ; in fact, all Paris seemed to hav e t urned out, and evidently all with one object in view, that of heartily enjoying their day of plea sure after their own manner. The weather was intensely hot, not a cloud in the sky to soften the glare, which made the eyes of the spectators ache as they looked at the horses canter past the stand, and the little shade afforded by the few trees in the enclosure was eagerly taken possession of. The racing on the whole was extremely good, but the main feature of the afternoon was the extraordinary defeat of Templier, which took every one quite by surprise. This horse has never run in public before, and a great many things were expected of him, but throughout the race he never once appeared dangerous, and after three quarters of a mile was hopelessly beaten, and finished absolutely last. This nefeat must be exceedingly vexatious to his new owner, M. Desvignes, who purchased the horse at the late Duke de Morny's sale for the large sum of £1,520, which has now turned out to be very considerably more that his value, and M. Desvignes may well lament the blind confidence he placed in the merits of the dark and unknown Teinplier. Count de Lagrange appeared to be in the highest of-spirits, a fact hardly to be wondered at when he saw his favourite mare, Fille de l'Air, fresh and well after her two races at Newmarket last week and her journey over the water, making so little difficulty in adding the Prix de l'lmperatrice (value £600) to her owner's list of winning races ; the mare literally won in a walk, and, as many remarked, could have carried the animal that followed her and have won. Fortune seems never tired of smiling upon the count, who certainly possesses in Fille de l'Air one of the most extraordinary mares that has appeared for some time upon the turf. Next Sunday she is engaged in the Cup at Paris, a piece of plate value £4OO, with £250 added, which, barring an acci dent, she cannot well lose. In the Prix de Longchamps the favourite Le Bearnais, with 5 to 2 on him, was easily defeated by Matamore, who ran very gamely; the favourite, who had much the best of the race at the distance, when called upon, tired to nothing. Ambassadeur placed a nice stake to his owner's credit; this horse improves very much, and his performance with Fontenoy, receiving 251 b weight, is very creditable. After this race 15 to 1 was taken about him for the Derby. The particulars of the day's racing will be found below : Prix d'Auteuil of £BO, for three-year-olds and upwards ; three-year-olds, 7st 121 b ; four, 9st 101 b ; five and up wards, lOst 41b; the winner to be sold for £6O; entrance, £4 each.

On coming to the last turn, Pot aux Roses held a lead of a couple of lengths, which he maintained to the end, and won in a canter by three lengths ; Poisson d'Avril, who came at the last, beating Callipyge for second place by half a length ; a head separating the third and fourth.

Fontenoy made the running, followed by Am bassadeur and Templier, and in this order they passed the stand. On going round the windmill turn, and opposite the stand, Beatrix took the third place, the leading horse being Fontenoy, followed by Ambassadeur, who, on coming round the last turn, got up to Fontenoy, and, after an ex citing race home, won by a head ; two lengths between the second and third, and a length between the third and fourth.

THE CONFEDERATE FORCES.—The New York correspondent of the Evening Herald says the strength of the remaining Confederate armies may be safely estimated as follows:—Under General Johnston, in North Carolina, 40,000 men ; under General Forrest, irregular cavalry, 15,000 ; under General. Gordon Grainger and others, de fending the line from Meridian, Mississippi, to Augusta, Georgia, 20,000 ; under General Gardner, at Mobile, 8,000; under General Kirby Smith, in Texas, 30,000, which force can be increased in case of invasion to 60,000; partisan rangers, &c., 10,000 ; total, 153,000 men. POST-OFFICE PACKET SERVICE.—The estimate of the sum required to be voted for this service for the year ending March 31,1866, amountsto £841,867. The sum voted last year was £860,276.
