A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which.appeared in the " siedical Cii cular," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet The reader of " Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has 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 advertisinz columns of low newspapers, amongst which too maw , of Mr. Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the country, may still be enumerated. But now be begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list of these miscreants, with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, n-edfut to be known, will be found in the pamphl t above referred to, which is entitled "Revelations of Quacks an i Quackery," and is to be had at the "Aledictl Circular" Office, 20, Bing 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 Tully 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 Quaok Di rectory, by con'ulting which every young man may know where be 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, whi e they Invoke your indignation and disgust. Of course you b d u o t n y o o t u w d a o n u t bt it le o s n s own sake, warningsthe any for simYpaluef tons with whom you must be acquainted, if your acquaint fo u r at th o a f t it o a f ance is large. " Who are the Quacks that 'Punch' means 7" Consider what it is to he able to answer this question of the young and inexperienced, and, for charity's sake, tf for no other, go and provide yourself with "Revelations of Quacks and Quackery," by Detector.—Punch, April 12.

WESTMINSTER ELECTION.- Mr, WILLIAM HY. SMITH will have the honour of meeting the Electors of Westminster at. WILLIS'S RIIO3IS, King-street, St. James's, on TUESDAY EVENING NEXT, the 13th inst. The Right Hon. the Earl P.ERCY, I&LP., in the chair. The Chair will be taken at Eight o'clock. Committee Rooms, 31, Spring-gardens, June 10, 1•'63 of the Royal family, have been proposed and received. I need hardly tell you that it is a source of sincere gratifica tion to me to be present here this evening ; not only as a guest, but as a member—a freeman of this corporation. I have not forgotten that soon after I catne of age the first freedom of any of the ancient guilds of this city with which I was presented was that of the Fishmongers' Company in 1863. lam proud also to think that I have been thus enrolled as a member of a company into which so many of my relations have been admitted, whose portraits adorn these walls. Although this is b. joyous occasion, I cannot forbear alluding to the loss of one whose name is intimately connected with the city of London, Mr. Cubitt, who was twice elected Lord Mayor of London, and who was your Prime Warden three years ago when I took up my freedom in this company. I need not recall to your me mory how anxious he was to promote everykind of charity, and I feel sure you will not think it unbecoming in me or inopportune to mention his name on this occasion. (Loud cheers.) In conclusion, I beg again to thank you for the kind manner in which you have alluded to a recent event, and the cordial wishes you have expressed for the speedy recovery of the Princess. I can assure you my heartfelt wish is that my two sons may learn to emulate and follow the bright example of their revered grandfather. (Loud cheers.) The next toast proposed was that of " The Army, Navy, and Volunteers," in proposing which the PRIME WARDEN said they were all deeply sensible of the debt of gratitude they owed for the important services they had rendered to the country on land and sea. Should circumstances unhap pily arise in which the honour and interests of England rendred resort to arms again necessary, both services would promptly resort to their country's call, and display the same patriotism and gallantry as in former periods of our history . . They were honoured on this occasion with the presence of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Commander-in-Chief, under whose auspices the army was at the present moment in a state of efficiency never surpassed at any other period of its history. The volunteers, an ad mirable auxiliary force to the British army, deserved to be mentioned with the greatest respect. When they thought of the fact that more than 150,000 men wore sacrificing their time, leaving their ordinary occupations in order to qualify themselves for the defence of their native soil, and that without fee or reward, it was a circumstance that could be not less gratifying to the English nation than it was sur prising to foreigners. (Cheers.) His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, who was loudly cheered, said—l rise to respond to the toast on the part of the army. The service over which I have the honour to preside feels with great satisfaction that they are remem bered by their fellow-citizens and friends on festive occa sions like this in any part of the kingdom. The army is scattered all over the globe, and the duties they have to perform are very numerous. The time they have least to do perhaps is during war. They have real and onerous duties to discharge in time of peace. Not only are they scattered as I have said all over the world ; they are exposed to the vicissitudes of climate which aro very severe—they have the tedium and monotony of a colonial existence to sus tain ; but they are ready at all times to respond to the calls of duty, and to submit to every hardship, for which they aro always kindly remembered by their fellow citizens. With respect to the army, the problem we have to solve is not an easy one. We have to unite efficiency with economy. The requirements of the age are very considerable, and the expense incurred must therefore be great. Still it is to be hoped that we have now placed our army in such a position that we may be able to despatch it on very short notice. We have also the advantage of an admirable re serve not only in the Volunteers, so well alluded to from the chair, but also in the Militia, and having recently in spected some of them, I can testify to their great efficiency. Under these circumstances, I am happy to think that, while the efficiency of the service has been so well attended to, the moral and social condition of the officers and sol diers have not been forgotten. I beg to thank you for the honour you have done me in drinking my health in con nexion with the army. It is a source of great gratification to me that lam a member of this ancient guild. I highly prize the honour, and I cannot help adding that I entirely concur in the reference which was made by my illustrious relative to the name and character of the late Mr. Cubitt, under whose auspices as Prime Warden I also had the honour and advantage of becoming a member of the Fish mongers' Company. (Loud cheers.) Lord C. PAGET—It is my agreeable and, I confess, some what unexpected duty to have to return thanks on this oc casion for the navy. Like the army, the navy is spread all over the world, and wherever the navy has served they_have distinguished themselves. (Hear, hear.) There is a portion of that navy now in the Channel. I would advise any lady or gentleman who is not afraid of a little sea-sickness to visit that portion of the fleet, and I think they will be satisfied that it is a magnificent one. (Hoar.) I am aware that there is something like official reticence in keeping certain move ments secret; but still, at the thought of being indiscreet, I will state a fact that I think you will be pleased to hear. We have just received an invitation from the Emperor of the French to send our armour-plated fleet round the coast of France, while the French armour-plated fleet would come round the coast of England. (Hear.) I need not say we have responded to this courteous and friendly offer with the very greatest satisfaction, by accepting the proposal, and I am sure you will all accept it as an earnest of the goodwill and friendship which should prevail between these two great nations. (Cheers.) I would recommend any lady or gentleman who wishes to see a very magnificent sight to go to Plymouth about the middle of next month, where both are to be assembled. (Cheers.) Lord ELcuo—ln obedience to your demands I rise to re turn thanks for the volunteers. We now hear, happily, less of the volunteers than we used to do. There is less drum ming through the streets at unnatural hours than used to bo the case. (Laughter.) This, I think is a healthy sign of the state of the volunteer force, because it shows that we have arrived at that hum-drum jog trot which shows that it is one of the permanent institutions of the country. (Cheers.) It must be satisfactory to the people of this country to find the force increasing in numbers; and if any proof were wanted to show that the volunteers are a great fact, that they are in a safe and secure position, it would be found in this, that the health of the volunteers has the honour of being invariably coupled with that of the army and navy. (Cheers.) While returning thanks on behalf of the volun teers, and seeing the splendid display of cups displayed on that sideboard, I cannot help recollecting that the con test for prizes at Wimbledon is near at hand. (Laughter,) I, therefore, think it maybe the wish of the Prime Warden and the Company of Fishmongers that their names should be associated with those of the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge as the donors of a prize at our annual contest. (Cheers and laughter.) The volunteers are not as ancient, but they are as loyal, a body as that which I have now the honour to address. We have struggled into exist ence, but 1 hope we have a long life before us, and I trust that the Prime Warden and the corporation over which he presides will set an example to the other corporate bodies of this metropolis by contributing to our sideboard of plate as prizes to the volunteers, so that in 2865, when the Na tional Rifle Association entertains the Prince of Wales of that day it may be able to point to a sideboard of plate equally rich and magnificent. (Cheers.) 1 hope that in this very hot evening this very cool suggestion may not be con sidered inappropriate or unacceptable. (Cheers and laughter.) The PRIME WARDEN, in giving the " Health of her Majesty's Ministers," said—l feel assured that every one I have the honour to address this evening will most heartily respond to the toast which lam about to propose. On an occasion like that which has brought us together we breathe an atmosphere which is altogether free from politics. All of us have our individual opinions onthe great questions of the day, and no Englishman shrinks, on fitting occasions, from the unreserved expression of his views, yet we all feel that, whatever party is in power, those who are charged with the labours and responsibilities of the Executive Go vernment are entitled to our respect and admiration. The duties of official life are at all times onerous, but during the last five years they have been especially so, owing to the state of affairs in America and on the Continent. It is not for me to pronounce an opinion on the various measures which her Majesty's Ministers have introduced and carried through Parliament; they will no doubt be variously viewed according to the political bias entertained by different par ties ; but of one thing I am quite sure, all will cheerfully give them credit for thorough sincerity, and an earnest de sire to promote those measures which they believe to be most for their country's good. (Cheers.) I give " The Health of her Majesty's Ministers," coupled with the name of the Right Hon. William ,wart Gladstone, Chancellor of the Exchequer. The toast was drunk with all the honours. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, who was received with loud cheers, said—" Mr. Prime Warden, your Royal Highnesses, my Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen, at all times it is matter of great satisfaction to those who hold office under her Majesty to have the opportunity of meeting their fellow subjects upon festive as well as upon political occasions. Rarely, sir, is that pleasure greater for mem bers of the administration than when they have the hon our to be invited to the board of this company ; and among the agreeable occasions when you have given us such an opportunitynone could be more gratifying than that which is afforded us to day, when we see as if we were met to gether to congratulate his royal highness upon the addition which has been made, not only to his domestic circle— (loud cheers)—but likewise, I may truly say, for it is true of the birth of every prince added to a royal family like ours—(cheers)—the addition that has been made to the hopes and treasures of the nation. (Cheers.) Mr. Prime Warden, you have very truly said that upon these occa sions we rise above the distinctions of party politics; at the same time I must beg for a moment, apparently at least, to deviate from the sound and wholesome rule you j have laid down, in consequence of the lesson and sugges liINAHAN'S LL R MUSKY v.

On Saturday evening a sumptuous banquet was given to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales by the Fishmon gers' Company in their hall at London-bridge. Covers were laid for 170. Among the distinguished guests who attended to meet his Royal Highness were— His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, K.G., the Duchess of Sutherland, the Lord Bishop of London and Mrs. Tait, Lord Brougham, Lord George Cavendish, M.P., Lord Ebury and the Hon. Miss Grosvenor, Rear-Admiral Lord Clarence and Lady Clarence Paget, Lord Mount- Edgcumbe, Lord and Lady Elcho, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mrs. Gladstone, the Lord and 'Lady Mayoress, the Lord Chief Justice Erle, the Lord Chief Baron and Lady Pollock, the Attorney-General and Lady Laura Palmer, Vice - Chancellor Sir W.

H . B. W Brand, M.P., and Mrs. Brand, Sir S. Morton Peto, M.P., and Miss Pete; Mr. Thomas A. Mitchell, M.P., Mr. W. R. Crawford, M.P., Mr. Thomas Hanbury, jun., M.P., Mr. Remington Mills. M.P., Alder man William Lawrence and Miss Lawrence, the Governor of the Bank of England and Miss Holland ; Mr. and Mrs. James M‘Henry, Mr. Elsey, Mr. W. Rathbone Gregg, Mr. and Mrs. Hibbert, Mr. G. B Davis, LL.D., Mr. Haldane, and many others connected with the banking and commer cial interests of th e c i ty of London. His Royal Hi g h ness the Priuco of Wales, who was most cordially cheered on arriving at the hall, was received by the Prime W ar d en (Mr. James Spicer), Mr. Walter Yen ning, Mr. H ens h aw, Mr. George Moore, Mr. W. Kynaston, Mr. Joseph T ravers Smith, and Mr. Towse, cletk of the com pany. The Prince was conducted to the reception-room, in which the guests had assembled. Soon after dinner was announced. The Prince led the Duchess of Sutherland, and the Duke of Cambridge conducted Mrs. Spicer, the lady of the Prime Warden (Mr. James Spicer) to the banqeting hall. On the sideboards placed at either end of the hall, and on the table was ranged a magnificent display of costly gold and silver gilt plate. The dinner was supplied by Messrs. Ring and Rymer, of Cornhill, and was, with the dessert and wines, excellent. The musical arrangements were under the direction of Mr. Henry Buckland. Mr. Harker was toastmaster. The cloth having been removed, and grace sung by the vocalists in att en d ance, The PRIME WARDEN, wh o pres id e d, rose :t o propose the first toast,:whi c h on such an occasion, he was convinced, re quired no pref ace and no comment from him. He gave " The Health of her most gracious Majesty the Queen." (Cheers. The toast was drunk with all the honours, 'nd followe d by the National Anthem. The PRIME WARDEN next proposed " The Health of the Prince and Princess of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family." The toast acquired special interest from the fact that he who rwas the object of it had condescended to honour that ancient and loyal Corporation with his pre sence that evening. (Cheers.) He felt certain he expressed the sentiments of all present, as well as his own, when he said they were all gratified and grateful that their illus trious guest should have so graciously responded to the invitation of the Court of Fishmongers' Company. He was not using the language of flattery, but simply re cording a fact with which the people of these realms, from one end of the kingdom to the other, were conver sant when he said that the esteem and the affection with which his Royal Highness was regarded by her Majesty's subjects were owing no less to his amiable manners, his kindly disposition, and the cond escension which he in variably displayed in his intercou rse with all the classes of the c ommunity thaD to the exalted position which he occupied, and the relation in which he stood as heir apparent to the British Throne. (Cheers.) There was another circumstance which had endeared him to the people of England, and that was that he had followed so closely in the footsteps of his ever-to-be-lamented and illustrious father, by lending his high sanction to the promotion of those industrial exhibitions that tended so much to elevate and improve the tastes and habits of the lower classes. The people of Ireland were highly gatified by the late visit of his Royal Highness to Dublin for the p urpose o f open i ng their Exhibition, and the favourable i m p ress i on pro d uce d by that visit would not be soon forgotten. (Cheers.) With respect to the illustrious consort of his R o y a l Hi g h ness , though connected only for a brief period w ith th e peop l e o f this country, she had already endeared herself to all classes of her Majesty's subjects. (Cheers.) They rejoiced that she had so recently presented to the nation another infant Prince—(cheers) —so that now they had two Princes who hereafter would have the right of inscribing their names on their freemen's roll. (Cheers.) On the part of all present he offered hearty congratulations on the auspicious event, and their prayers should ascend for her Royal Highness's speedy recovery. (Cheers.) The toast was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm. The Prince of WALES, who on rising was much cheered, in acknowleding the toast said—Mr. Prime Warden, your Royal Highness, my lords, ladies, and gentlemen,—l thank you very much for the kind manner in which my name and that of the Princess of Wales, and the other members PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd. tion which have been impressed on me as I was on my way to this hall. On London-bridge it was my misfor tune, perhaps in common with others of your guests, to be blocked up for ton minutes or a quarter of an hour, and I confess it did appear to me at the time that in another and a different sense from that you have described all distinc tions of political sections disappeared, for certainly in such a situation there was no one who would not at least have desired to belong to the party of progress. (Cheers and a laugh.) I have been led thus briefly to advert to this fact by way of offering some apology for having apeared in your hall later than otherwise it would have been my duty to do. (Cheers.) In drinking to the health of her Ma jesty's Ministers you have not only paid a gratifying com pliment to a body of men, but you have exemplified a great political truth—that, independently of the sympathy which her Majesty's Ministers know that they can find when they require it in this hall, there is no doubt that those who may be for the moment the depositaries of the bxecutive power and responsibility become by that very fact the representa tives of ideas that are common to all Englishmen. Through them is made known to the country, in a great degree, the beneficent action of the institutions of this land. Through them the virtues and wisdom of the Sovereign become known to those whom she governed. In them is personified to the mind and eye of the people to no small degree the majesty of that law which the people of this country at once respect and love ; and in this sense they are the repre sentatives and the vehicleslof a truth, which it is, indeed, a high honour for any set of mon to embody. (Cheers.) Sir, as regards the career of the present Goverment and the period over which that career has extended, it has now reached what may almost be called the natural term of the life of Administrations. (Cheers and a laugh.) We have in this country a law of septennial Parliaments ; we have not a law of septennial Administrations, and it is by some rare conjunctions of circumstances when any Government even approaches that lapse of time. Such, however, has peen the fortune of the Cabinet headed by Lord Palmerston. (Cheers.) And certainly they have been years in which, quite apart from the merits of this or thatfmeasure, or this or that set of men, we cannot refuse to recognize the passing of much that is of the deepest interest to mankind. We have, indeed, lived in a period which has been in one sense a period of disquiet and uneasiness—a period in some por tions of the world of terrific struggle ; full, however, of the most remarkable lessons for our instruction. From these struggles we have been mercifully spared. We have been permitted to see our country growing in wealth and strength, and to see her people advancing not only in the elements of material power, but likewise in all those higher respects and relations which go to determine, in the most important sense, the happiness of a nation. We have seen—it is our happiness to see from year to year the growth of peace and concord, the continual extension and invigoration of the spirit of loyalty among the people, the progressive closer union of class to class, the gradual disappearance of reli gious and sectarian animosity; and, waiting as we do at this moment the verdict of onr countrymen, conveyed through their authorised representatives, the constituencies of the country, we have little to hope and little to desire, whether we continue in office or whether we quit it, but that it may please the Almighty of His mercy to vouchsafe to this country a continuance of the blessings which He has been Pleased of late to pour on them, and along with those bless ings to give them the one crowning blessing of grateful hearts to Him, the giver of them all. (Loud and continued cheering.) The PRIME 'WARDEN next gave " the House of Lords." They were honoured by the presence on that occasion of a distinguished member of the Upper House, whom they were always glad to see among them. Ho alluded to his noble and learned friend Lord Brougham (cheers), one of their senior honorary members, and whose name was never mentioned, either in this country or abroad, without the highest respect and honour. (Cheers.) He was glad to observe that his noble friend was in such excellent health, and begged to associate his name with the House of Peers. (Cheers.) Lord BROUGHAM, who was received with cheers, said, — I feel always the greatest pleasure in meeting my fellow members of this great corporation, to which I have belonged for nearly half a century—longer, I believe, with one or two exceptions, than any others now present. It gives me plea sure to meet in this hall, not only because I see thrown over it the banner of my illustrious friend, that great statesman and warrior, Lord St. Vincent, but because it is the home of a body of men who have at all times been the devoted friends of the liberties and rights of the people, the en couragers and promoters in all ways of that education which enables and fits them to enjoy those liberties and to exercise those rights. (Cheers.) It is a common saying that there is nothing a man is generally more liberal of, not to say generous, than other people's money and his own advice. (A laugh.) Nevertheless, I hardly ever address you here without tendering advice when I think it my duty to do so, and without at all considering whether that advice may be palatable to those who hear it, when I am perfectly certain that it is sound and upright. Like men, all Parlia ments are short-lived, and the present Parliament is on its deathbed. The time is appointed for it to go to the country and undergo the process of a general election. Now, what I do most anxiously wish to express to you in this groat city, and through you to the whole country, is that you carefully avoid those corrupt practices which have so injured the character of this country and its constitution in the opinion of foreign nations. Persons in other countries where they have a Parliament, but without our liberties, hearing of thousands and thousands of pounds being spent at an election, aro apt to say, as I have heard them say, "We are just as well without all your liberty if it leads to such corruption and demoralisation of the people." I would further remind you that under an act which fortunately has passed the Legislature, bribery has become not so easily accomplished, not so easily con cealed, and not so easily or likely to escape detection, now that parties can be examined in all civil cases, and I wish the rule could be applied to all criminal cases also. The acts of all parties, therefore, whether successful or unsuccess ful candidates, are sure to bo discovered; and in my opinion the proper punishment for bribery is the treadmill. No thing tended to put down slavery so much as the making of it felony . , and that is the pr o p er way of dealing with bribery at erections. There is one other subject on which I would say a word or two. If my voice could reach across the Atlantic it would tell our kinsmen that their best friends, those who have been their advocates through good report and through bad report, now pray and beseech them to use the victory which, by great courage, great per severance, and no little military skill, they have gained, in mercy as well as in justice—(cheers)—that they should not stain the scaffold with the blood of their prisoners— (cheers) —that they should recollect that those prisoners whom they call rebels were treated by them as warriors —(cheers)—that truces were made with them, agreements made with them, submissions received from them, and that they ought not to think of rendering their cause, which is now triumphant, hateful, as well as triumphant, by spill ing the blood of those captives they have now in their power. (Loud cheers.) Their Government consists of men of great ability. Mr. Johnson, the President, has the merit of having raised himself from the humblest position in the world, having educated himself, teaching himself to read and afterwards teaching himself to write, making him self, not, indeed, a scholar, like my right hon. friend (Mr. Gladstone), yet a well-informed man on all ordinary ques tions ; and has raised himself stop by step to the highest position in the country. He is a man personally fitted to succeed in office that admirable person whose murder all Europe so sincerely lamented—(cheers)—let it be seen that he has also succeeded to his merciful and just disposition. (Cheers.) I say merciful and just; merciful as well as just, and just because merciful ; aye, and useful to themselves as well as merciful and just ; for it is only by pursuing such a course that they will prove themselves equal to the crisis of their country's fate, and perform that work which now remains for them to do in restoring har mony and union in that great continent. (Cheers.) I hope these words will reach the other side of the Atlantic, which they may rely on it, speak the sense of all England and of all Europe on this great and important question. (Cheers.) The PRIME WARDEN nee gave "the House of Commons, ' associating the toast with the name of Mr. Crawford, one of the members for the City of London, to whose services they were all so deeply indebted, and for whom he was quite sure ho need not bespeak a most cordial reception. The toast was drunk with loud cheers. Mr. CRA.WFORD—I consider it a great honour that I should be called upon to respond to the toast of " the House of Commons" in such a distinguished company as I see be fore me this evening. It is an honour which I cannot but attribute to the laudable anxiety of the Prime Warden to show, even in me, its humble representative, the respect ho feels for that ancient city, within whose walls the sumptu ous hospitalities of the Fishmongers' Company are dispensed. I venture to think that the present House of Commons de serves well of the country ; and if proof of the fact were wanted, it would be found in this, that it has survived to nearly the latest period of its legal existence. It could only have survived so long by fairly representing the feelings of the country, as well as its wants; and hence the occasion has not sooner arisen for Parliament to be dissolved and for the country to express an opinion on its conduct. (Cheers.) The Chancellor of the Exchequer has referred to the deli verance which her Majesty's Ministers await at the hands of the country, and it would ill become me to refer to the deliverance which the members individually have also to anticipate. But I may be permitted to say that if there is any gentleman here present who is so ambitions as to de sire to represent the city of London in the House of Com mons, I would advise him to reflect that all is not gold that glitters ; that the fruits most pleasant to the eye are not always most pleasant to the taste ; that a man who enters the House of Commons has many cares to sustain, many duties to discharge. I would have a man to consider well his own domestic comforts, which he must forego, and leave the re- E WS PAPER 14- Jp..l \‘. ry presentation of the cityin the hands oglAD*44 it. (Cheers and a laugh.) k His Royal Highness the Prince of S w me the greatest pleasure if I may be alhA next toast, "To the Health of the Prime Wardte;" I am sure 1 may venture, on the part of this large assem blage, to thank him and this ancient company for the splen did hospitality they have displayed this evening. (Cheers.) The toast was drunk with all the honours, and briefly acknowledged by tho Prime Warden. The next toast was "the Lord Mayor," which was drunk with much cordiality. The Lord Mayor returned thanks. .The concluding toast of the evening was "the Ladies," after which the company partook of tea and coffee in the drawing-room. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales retired soon after 11 o'clock, having on his arm the Duchess of Sutherland. His royal highness was loudly cheered by the crowd out side the hall.

There were about 3,000 men on the ground, including cavalry and infantry, each man being supplied with 20 rounds of blank ammunition. His Royal Highness carefully inspected the whole of the men, as well as thehorses and guns, and then took up his position under the flagstaff, when the infantry marched past in grand divisions, and the mounted batteries trotted and galloped past. The regularity of their move ments and the excellent condition of the horses were repeatedly remarked by the commander-in-Chief to General Warde and Sir Hugh Rose, who were stationed on his right and left hand. The troops were dismissed about one o'clock for dinner, when the Duke and mounted party proceeded to an in spection of the Herbert Hospital on Enbrook-com mon. His Royal Highness afterwards launched with General Warde and the officers of the garrison at the Royal Artillery mess. On his return from the Herbert Hospital, the Duke inspected a new de scription of forge and Royal Engineer service cart, which were brought up to the barrack field for that purpose from the Royal carriage department in the Arsenal, in charge of Mr. Norman, who superin tended the packing -and unpacking a load of in trenching tools, camp kettles, &c., and explained tho method of which it is convertible to various other uses. The Duke was pleased to signify his approval of the invention, which was returned as a pattern to the Royal Arsenal. He took his departure from Woolwich, on his return to London, under a Royal salute, about half-past 2 p.m. The left wing of the 74th Highlanders will em bark at Leith on the 14th inst. on board her Ma jesty's ship Urgent, for conveyance to Aldershott.
