For notices of this startl ng 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 " Medical Circular," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. The reader of "Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has often read, in the pages of "Punch," of 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 advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of liar. '• 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, n,edfut to be known, will be found in the pamphl• t above referred to, which is entitled "Revelations of Quacks and Quackery." and is to be had at the " Medicil Circular" Office, 20, Ring William-street, Strand, W.O. 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 iu question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory, by consulting which every young man may know where he may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed. Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy "Revelations of Quacks and Quackery." Its eqntents will astonish and amuse You, white they invoke your indignation and disgust. Of 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. " Who are the Quacks that 'Punch= means 7" Consider what it is to be able to answer this question of the young and inexperienced, and, for charity's sake, if for no other, go and provide yourself with "Revelations of Quacks and Quckery, ' by Detector.—Punch, April 17.

The Dispute in the Iron Trade. WOLVERHAMPTON, April 15. This afternoon the puddlers in the Wolver hampton district obtained the interview they have been for some time seeking. lii reply to the letters which at their meeting on Wednesday night they resolved to send to their masters, asking them as a district to meet the men in the same corporate capa city, the masters fixed at the Shrubbery Works for the interview. This meeting was resolved upon by the masters on Thursday in Birmingham after some considerable discussion as to whether the masters should not require the interviews to be confined to the men and the employers at the Works respec tively. The employers were represented by Major Thor neycroft and Mr. Kesteven (firm of G. B. Thorney croft and• Co.), Mr. George Barker and Mr. Barker, jun. (representing the Chillington Company), Mr. William Sparrow (of the Osier Bed Works), Messrs. Wright and North (of the Monmere and Cleveland Works), and Mr. Isaac Jenks (of the Minerva Works). The puddlers at the Seven Works in the Wolverhampton district were repre sented by 19 men in all. Mr. W. Sparrow occupied the chair, and evinced considerable ability in the management of the pecu liar business to be disposed of. The men were invited to express themselves freely, and their reception had been so cordial that they did so without a feeling of the least restraint. The great desire of the speakers seemed to be that a Court of Arbitration should be determined on for the adjusting of future differences. A few of the masters drew the attention of the deputation to certain difficulties which stood in the way of the principle of arbitration being applied to the pecu liarities of the iron trade, and inquired of the depu tation how they proposed to meet these difficulties. The deputation had not, however, gone with suffi cient care into the details to be able offhand to give a reply, but they thought that a full discus sion of the subject at a future time might deve lope the means of meeting the several difficulties as they arose. The employers, however, thought the principle was not capable of univer sal application in the present state of the law of the country as it applied to such matters. They further showed that they themselves were not able to carry out the principles, even though the men in the district should have agreed to do so, and that the men would not be able to bind their fellows else where. Indeed, it seemed not quite certain that the Wolverhampton men would not incur the censure of other districts for the independent action which they had already taken in a matter which did not seem to be desired by the men elsewhere, who were equally with the men of Wolverhampton members of the same Union. At the same time the masters ex pressed themselves equally desirous with their men to come to some conclusion which might have the effect of preventing a recurrence of antagonistic ac tion on the part of either workpeople or employers. They would be ever ready to receive any suggestions from their men, and they felt sure that the trade as a body would, also be equally willing to consider any suggestion applicable to the whole district made by the men in the several localities in their combined character. If the men could, upon deliberate con sideration, arrive at any plan which they believed would work to the advantage of both sides, and tend to bring about a means of settling any differ ences that might hereafter arise in a more satisfac tory manner than had yet been customary, the trade would be happy to give it their very best considera tion. The chairman and others showed the men that in recent times the alterations in the custom relative to certain details had been to the advantage of the men, who had now work done at the cost of their respective masters which once had to be borne by themselves, and that the tendency of the altera tions in respect of the quality of the pig iron used had all been in the direction of a better quality. In this the men were being taken further back to the period at which their labour was so much more easy than now. But the deputation were reminded by the chairman that every such alteration, favourable as it was to the puddlers, was met by his men by opposition, on the plea that their labour was being increased. Generally, however, points upon which a differ enge of view was known to exist on either side was as much as possible avoided by both masters and men; and as the deputation said that they had to bring their masters' views before a general meeting, Mr. George Barker wrote out the following, and handed it to the chairman of the deputation " At a meeting of masters and workmen, held at the Shrubbery Works, Aprills, 1865, it was unani mously resolved that both parties, regretting the unfortunate results of strikes and lock-outs, and with a sincere desire to prevent their recurrence, pledge themselves to give their best consideration to devise some plan whereby the district may, as far as possible in future, be preserved in quietness and pros perity, and good feeling be mutually maintained." With this the deputation expressed themselves quite satisfied, and they said it would be equally approved by the general body of the men, who, upon the hope that the meeting would result in mutual advantage, would be prepared to resume work at once. Some members of the deputation were of opinion that the men would be ready to begin on Monday, while others thought that they would pre fer having Easter Monday for a holiday. The masters thereupon determined that work should begin on Tuesday. The interview lasted consider ably over two hours. At its close the deputation reported the proceed ings to a meeting of the men which was assembled at the Horse and Jockey Inn, waiting for their return. The resolution above quoted was read to the meet ing, accompanied by the verbal explanations of the deputation, and was received by the 250 unionist puddlers present with the most marked satisfaction. So great was that satisfaction that, as the meeting broke up, the men evinced the happiness which they felt by a free exhibition of those freaks which ordi narily attend the breaking up of a boys' school for the holidays. The news of the settlement spread through the town and into the district with astonishing rapidity, and the Easter holidays will this year be an oc casion of unusual rejoicing in South Staffordshire. Masters and men will both resume their respec tive occupations much wiser than they were a few months ago, and both less disposed to take any step that may lead to such a disagreement as that which has led to their recent separation. The North Staffordshire men, however, still re main out, and are being supported with increasing liberality by their fellow -workmen in the south of the county. If they remain in this position much longer the masters say that they will carry out their project of obtaining 500 puddlers from Russia, where they feel assured that a sufficient number of skilled workmen can be got together willing to come to England, and work for wages very much lower than those by which the Staffordshire men are re munerated. The step would, however, be an expen sive and an untried one, but it is the masters' reply to:the threat of emigration. The press were not admitted to either of the meetings. DuDY.EY, Saturday Evening. The quarterly assemblies of the iionmasters of this district were brought to a close here this even ing. There was a very small attendance, and scarcely any business was transacted, not even in pig iron, of which there are generally a few sales at the meeting in this town ; but the extreme quietude prevailing at Birmingham on Thursday has checked the very slight improvement which seemed to be springing up in the demand for the better makes of this description of iron. With respect to manufactured iron, there can be no doubt but that the quantity for which contracts have been taken this quarter-day is considerably below the average, and the feeling on the part of all who are engaged in the trade in this locality is that ‘, 4 d,6e J/ , PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd. it has seldom been in so unsatisfactory a state ; the orders in hand are nothing like adequate to keep the Works in full operation, and there is no apparent prospect of any improvement in that respect. In this locality, and on to Stourbridge, all the Works are again in operation, but the men arc trouble some, working as many " heats" a day as they please and no more. While the present depression continues the masters can endure this, though it is no small matter to be compelled to do so, because their fixed expenses are going on, whatever the pro duction at their Works may be. Were the trade to revive this difficulty with the men would be a more serious inconvenience. • The general trade of this part of the district is extremely dull ; it suffered much from the colliers' strike of last year, and sufficient time had not elapsed for it to rally before the " lock-out" commenced. The accounts due this quarter-day have not been met with the usual promptness. Naval and Military Intelligence. The Duke of Cambridge, Commander of the Forces, has appointed to be at Plymouth to-day to commence his annual inspection of tin fortifications and of the troops in garrison. Lady Templetown has issued cards of invitation to meet his Royal Highness at Government House, Mountwise, Devonport, this evening and to-morrow evening. In accordance with instructions received from the Horse Guards experiments have been made at the Farnborough-Station of the South-Western Rail way during the past week with reference to the con veyance of artillery by rail to a given destination. Col. A. J. Herbert, Assist. -Quartermaster-General at Aldershott, conducted the experiments in the presence of Col. A. T. Phillpotts, commanding the Royal Artillery at the Camp ; Col. Michell (D bat tery, B Brigade, Royal Horse Artillery), and other eminent officers of the Artillery, Staff, and division. The experiments on the first day were made by Lieut. Lee Grice's division of D battery, Royal Horse Artillery, which turned out from the Perma nent Barracks in complete marching order with two 'guns and all the usual equipment. On arrival at the railway station the guns were unlimbered, and men, horses, and materiel transferred to trucks. About an hour was occupied in these arrangements, and it was ascertained from the experiment that 11 trucks would accommodate a battery of six Arm strong guns (9 -pounders) with all their equip ments, and that 145 horses, which is the num ber usually appropriated to a battery of Royal Horse Artillery, could be placed in 25 trucks. The distribution of weight was ascertained to be as follows :—For 54 men and horses, average weight 121 cwt., 675 cwt. ; 13 officers, with horses and bag gage, same average, 1621 cwt. ; 6 guns (with two men on each limber) 33/ cwt. each, 2021 cwt. ; 6 ammunition waggons (six men to each, with full equipments and appurtenances) at 494 cwt. each, 295- cwt. ; store-waggon, forge, and captain's cart, 80 cwt. ; 78 draught horses, 10 cwt. each, 780 cwt.; 39 drivers, 10k stone, 51k cwt. The total weight of the battery was 112 tons 7 cwt. On the second day a division of the 9th Brigade Royal Artillery was selected for experiment, and the arrangements were carried out under the same superintendence. Among other operations a 40-pounder Armstrong gun was removed to a truck, and was shifted easily and rapidly notwithstanding its enormous weight. The experiments were considered highly satisfactory, and demonstrated that, should the necessity arise, artil lery could be rapidly conveyed from the camp, and in the course of a few hours thrown upon nearly any part of the coast fully equipped and ready for action. r. --‘e. The Ist battalion 21st (Royal North British Fusi leers) Regiment, under the command of Colonel J. Ramsay Stuart, C. 8., has arrived at Aldershot, and occupies the A, B, and C Lines, North Camp. The strength of the battalion on marching in was 3 field officers, 9 captains, 20 subalterns, 4 staff officers, 53 sergeants, 23 drummers, 790 rank and file, 80 women, and 130 children. The Pigmy, paddlewheel steamer, Master-Com mander Vine, left Portsmouth on Saturday for Portland, with supernumeraries for the ships form ing the Channel squadron. It is understood that they will leave their anchorage on Monday evening, and proceed to about 10 miles south of the Bill of Portland, the appointed place of rendezvous, where they will be joined by the Hector, iron -clad, Capt. Preedy, and accompany the Edgar, flagship of Rear Admiral Sir S. C. Dacres, to Lisbon. The Orontes, troopship, Captain H. W. Hire, is undergoing considerable repairs and alterations in No. 8 dock at Portsmouth, which, however, are to be completed by the 24th, so that she may be re moved for the purpose of enabling the Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain the Prince of Leiningen, to be docked for examination, and to have any requisite repairs made before her leaving the harbour for the use of the Prince of Wales on his visit to Ireland. It does not appear to be the intention of the Lords of the Admiralty to man the ironcased screw steam ship Caledonia, 35, at Devonport, so soon as was at first expected. Some of the crew of the Revenge, 73 (wood), late flagship in the. Mediterranean, now dismantling, will probably go with Capt. Foley to the Caledonia. A large number of the continuous service men on the books of the Revenge will, when she is put out of commission, be paid up, granted leave of absence, and be allowed to join any other ship. Several volunteered on the station. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. ROCHDALE. Roc lIDA LE, Saturday. This morning the polling for a representative in parliament to supply the place of the late Mr. Cob den commenced here, the two candidates being Mr. Brett, Q.C., Conservative, and Mr. Potter, Liberal. At four o'clock the numbers were— Potter . Brett Vice-Admiral Sir J. M'Dougall, K.C.8., died at Dunollie, Argyleshire, on the 12th inst., aged 75. He entered the navy in Dec., 1802, and in the course of the following year was five times in action be tween Calais and Flushing. In 1807 he commanded a division of boats, at the capture of several ves sels, and destruction of three signal stations ; in 1808 he was present at the capture of a French privateer near Acona, and took possession of a privateer of 2 guns and 36 men. He was nominated to a lieuten ancy by Lord Collingwood, Nov. 25, 1809, and in the same year was present at the capture of a French brig, in Port Hercole. When in charge of a prize he conveyed information which led to the capture of the French frigates Pomone, 44, and Persanne, 26, and he assisted at the capture of the latter in 1811. He was twice wounded at the bombardment of Algiers in 1816, and was promoted to commander Feb. 9, 1820. He was raised to the rank of captain Aug. 16, 1836. He was senior officer in command of an expedition against the Bogue Forts in 1847 ; obtained flag rank May 12, 1857, and became vice admiral_Nov. 3, 18630- 646 496 Majority -150 The official declaration of the poll was made by the mayor, from the hustings, at a quarter to six this evening. Mere was an immense assemblage pre sent. The announcement of Mr. Potter's election by 150 votes elicited enthusiastic cheering from that gentleman's supporters. When these demonstra tions had subsided, Mr. Potter advanced to the front and said—Elec tors and non-electors, I congratulate the men of Rochdale, the people of England, and the friends of human progress all over the world, on the glorious news we have heard from the other side of the At lantic. I congratulate the:friends of popular govern ment on, the success of th e F e d era l cause, and the working men and women of Rochdale and this dis trict on the prospect of having ere long a plentiful . supply of cotton, and cotton unstained by the blood of the slaves. (Applause.) ',The proudest aristocracy in the world have ;had to bow down before the offended majesty of a great people. Let this warning not be lost on the proudest aristocracy in Europe, let them remember that the maintenance of a wrong to a great people is as unsafe as it is unjust. (Applause.) Men of Rochdale, I thank you for the honour you have done me in electing me as your repre sentative, but far more do I thank you that you have set your seal to the opinions of that great man who has been recently taken :away from amongst us. You have done more honour to your selves, and to - your common country, than to the humble individual who stands before you. Gentle men, I shall not detain you longer than by saying that, as your representative, I will hold firmly to the political opinions of the party with which I am connected. I shall consider it my duty, to the utmost of my power, to serve every man in Roch dale, elector and non-elector, and to the best of my ability to give an account of my stewardship at lease each year ; and if my duties are discharged to your satisfaction I shall be prepared to serve you and stick to you as long as you 'shall wish me to do so. On the motion of Mr. Potter, seconded by Mr. G. L. Ashworth, a vote of thanks was awarded to the mayor, and the crowd quietly dispersed. The large majority obtained by Mr. Potter has excited great surprise, and is freely attributed to the gigantic bribery of the Liberals and to the supineness of the Conservatives—scores of the lat ter, though they had signed the requisition to Mr. Brett, not coming forward. PUNISHMENTS IN PERSIA.—The punishments of Persia, though not so barbarous as in former times, are yet very cruel.

On the appearance of the Shah, however, it was neces3ary that some victims for the exputioner should be found ; and, in spite of the pardon, these unfor tunate people were seized and executed, to the great edifi cation of the populace, who, in all likelihood, esteemed their Sovereign all the more for his breach of faith.-L-A Journey from London to Persepolis, by John Usher, F.R.G.S.

Holloway's pills are especially useful in clearing away any excess of bile, which usually produces fever, unless remedial measures be adopted without delay. In asthma, bronchitis, and congestion of the lungs they may be relied upon for relieving all danger; and,: by purifying and regulating the circulation, they effectually prevent relapses. By rinsing the liver to a fair secretion of bile, and quickly carrying it off from the sys tem, these pills ward off low spirits, listlessness, and those distressing feelings often called "nervous."

The nomination of a successor to Sir William Dunbar in the representation of these burghs took place on Saturday, at the town of Wigtown. Sheriff Hector presided ; and on the motion of the Provost of Wigtown, seconded by Bailie M'Dowall, of Stranraer, Mr. Young, the Solicitor-General for Scotland, was proposed to fill the vacancy. There was no opposition, and Mr. Young was declared to be duly elected. Mr. Young briefly returned thanks for the hon our conferred upon him, and, in the course of some observations, remarked that he thought the Conser vatives were at present in their right place by not being in office. In their present position they could do the country service, while in the other they would not ; for this reason, that there was a want of motive power among them. They were excellent breaksmen, but the proper position for a break was behind a train and not in front. (Laughter.) The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the Sheriff. FROME.—We are glad to find that the canvass of Mr. Wickham, the Conservative candidate for the representation of this borough, leaves no doubt as to his triumphant success. Sir Henry Rawlinson, the Liberal candidate, and his friends are very active, but we have every reason to believe that Sir Henry must seek another seat than Frome ere he gets into Parliament. NOTTINGIIAM.—There is every probability of a severe contest for the representation of this borough at the next election, and no less than four candi dates are expected to take the field. The sitting. members (Mr. C. Paget and Sir R. Clifton) are ex pected to stand again, and requisitions are in course of signature to Mr. S. Morley, of London, (ad vanced Liberal), and to Mr. A. G. Marten, of St. John's College, Cambridge (Conservative). The candidature of Mr. Morley is being got up in oppo sition to Sir R. Clifton, a large body of the electors being dissatisfied with him. THE CASE OF PELIZZIONI. _ Mr. Baron Channoll having summed up the evidence, The Jury said they should like to retire, and they left the court at half-past 7 o'clock to deliberate. They were absent about 10 minutes, and then again retured into court and their names wero called over. Mr. Avory, the Clerk of Arraigns, then called over their names, and put the formal question to them, whether they had agreed upon their verdict, and whether they found the prisoner guilty or not guilty. The Foreman, in an emphatic tone—We find that the prisoner is Not Guilty. The instant the verdict was delivered there was a tre mendous burst of cheering, and great number of persons in the court stood up and hurrahed frantically, at the same time waving their hats. It was useless to attempt to put a stop to the interruption, sheriffs, under-sheriffs, and others were alike powerless to prevent the unseemly proceeding. When the cheering seemed to lull a little it was taken up again, and joined in by the crowd outside the court, and the scene was most extraordinary. Baron Channel, when he was able to make his voice heard, said that such a proceeding was most improper in a court of justice, and if any one was pointed out to him as being concerned in the disturbance he should know how to deal with him. Mr. Ribton (in the absence of Mr. Ballantine) then said that there was another indictment against the prisoner, which charged him with wounding Bannister, but he sup posed that after the verdict that had just been returned the counsel for the Crown would not proceed with it. lie therefore applied that a verdict of Not Guilty should bo taken. Mr. Beasley said that the solicitor for the Treasury was instructions with present at that moment, and ho had no with reference to this charge. s p o ris o o n n l e v r it w h a t s h e e indictm ent, ntitledte bet ried, and r ff . R i t ib wasnsaid that intendedthe jury who had heard all t he facts would be the best tribunal to theto to dispose of it. Baron Channel! said he shouldcortainly not t a k e the case that night. (A laugh). Mr. Beasley, after a short delay, said he would take the re sponsibility upon himself, after what had occurred, of not offering any evidence in support of the charge of wounding Bannister. The prisoner was then formally given in charge to the jury upon that indictment, and, no evidence being offered they again returned a verdict of not guilty, and this was the sequel for another enthusiastic burst of cheers. A number of gentlemen shook hands with Mr. Negretti, and congratulated him upon the result of his benevolent ex ertions, and the prisoner was removed from the bar. The proceedings on Saturday occupied nearly ton hours. It is hardly necessary to remind the public that the pri soner is still under sentence of death for the murder of Harrington, and ho must, of course, remain in custody until the Government decide what course shall be taken. As, however, it appeared to be admitted on all hands that one man only was guilty of the whole of the acts of violence that were committed on this night at the Golden Anchor, the present verdict is tantamount to his being declared en tirely innocent, so that the natural result would be that a pardon should be granted him for the offence of which ho at present stands convicted. And then he drew a dial frem his poke,' And looking on it with lack lustre eye, Says very wisely, ' It is ten o'clock : ' Thus we may see,' quoth he, how the world wags." SHAKSPEARE.
