REVELATION of QUACKS and QUACKERY.
By DETECTOR.
For notices of this startling work seethe " 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 " idedical Circular," with the signature of "Detector,"
has been republished in the form of a sho. t 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 faire pretences.
and more money by menaces and extortion, fawn 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 Iffr." Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the
country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub-
lish the iniormation 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
an s Quackery," and is to be had at the " Medical Circular"
Office, 20, King William-street, St. and, W. U.
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 anti Qackery." And mark especially that, as
aforesaid, the names of the Quacks ate 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 " inevelations of
Quacks and Quackery." Its contents will astonish and amuse
you, while they invoke your indignation and disgust. Of
course you do not want it on account of its warnings tor 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 tile Quacks that ' Punch' means I"
Consider what it is to he able to answer this question of the
young and inexperienced, and, foe charity's sake, if for no
other, go and provide yourself with "Revelations of Quacks
and Quackery,'' by Detector,—Punch, April 12.

The Wimbledon Meeting,

Yesterday the weather was as favourable as, on
the previous day, it had been untoward. Under
the exhilarating sunshine the spirit of the camp and
the financial prospects of the Association rallied
from the depression temporarily resting upon them,
and the shooting at the decisive range for the first
stage of the Queen's prize progressed vigorously.
About 12 o'clock his Royal Highness the Prince of
Orange paid a visit to the Common, and, under
the guidance of Lord Spencer, spent some hours in
visiting the different points where competitions of
chief interest were going forward. The contest
possessing most attraction, for his Royal Highness
as well as for the public, was apparently the novel
one instituted by Mr. Horatio Ross. In this Lord
Aberdeen and Mr. Peterkin were the principal
rivals, and the dexterity and skill exhibited by both
in complying with the rules of the match showed
that to succeed in this peculiar struggle, designed
many years ago by Mr. Ross to make successful
deerstalkers of his sons, it is necessary to be "to
the manner born." The marksmen are probably
few in England who could load hastily, run 100
yards, creep, and throw themselves down, and then,
with quickened respiration and bounding pulse,
succeed in making a bull's-eye or centre, and who,
even if they succeeded the first time, could repeat
this process so rapidly as to crowd 11 shots and a
score of 40 or 42 into the limit of five minutes.
Yet this was done yesterday—not once or twice,
but over and over again.
Lord Aberdeen had evidently set his heart on
carrying off the prize, and adopted a hard-working
costume to favour his movements. Mr. Peterkin's
main advantage consisted in a method of snatching
up and disposing of the ramrod—a piece of sleight-
of-hand as perfect as that performed by any con-
juror. A large and fashionable attendance was
drawn together at this point, including, in addition
to those already named, Lord and Lady Ducie, the
Count de Gendres, Lady Spencer, Lord Glent-
worth, &c. At the "Running-deer" range, close
to that where Mr. Ross's pupils were taking such
liberal exercise, the Prince of Orange distinguished
himself by obtaining a couple of bull's-eyes.
The result of the competition for the first stage of
the Queen's Prize was looked forward to all day with•
strong and natural curiosity, regard being had to
the fact that nineteen-twentieths of the competitors
are released from attendance in camp as soon as the
score is finally made up. The state of the atmos-
phere on Thursday threw out many whose chances
of getting, at any rate, into the 60 had previously
looked very hopeful; yesterday's fine weather, again,
brought to the front others who stood almost on the
brink of despair. Perhaps the greatest annoyance
experienced was that of a Volunteer who had scored
41 points, and still had two shots in reserve. Ac-
cording to the information disclosed by the returns
up that moment, if his shots found their way on to
the target at all he was certain of the silver medal
and £.50 ; but, whether from nervousness or owing

HERTFORDSHIRE.

The Hon. Henry Cowper, brother of Earl Cowper,
who unsuccessfully contested the,county of Hertford
on the death of Mr. Giles-Puller last year, will be a
candidate at the ensuing general election. Mr.
Cowper's prospects are good. Last year he was
defeated by a majority of 248 under somewhat ex-
traordinary circumstances. There was at the tithe a
great local agitation for the repeal of the malt-tax,
and Mr. Surtees was brought forward as the advo-
cate of total and immediate repeal, while Mr.
Cowper declined .to pledge himself to do more than
vote for the reduction of the duty with a view to
its ultimate repeal. Since then there has been a
considerable modification of local opinion with re-
ference to the malt tax, and many of the farmers
are now disposed to think that they have more to
hope from the moderation of politicians like Mr.
Cowper than from the extreme but ineffectual policy
advocated by Mr. Surtees. In addition to this, the
gains of the Liberals on the last registration con-
verted their majority at thepoll into a certain though
not very large majority. Mr. Cowper's friends are
confident of his success.

SUNDERLAND.

The friends of Mr. W. S. Lindsay, M.P., have
positively announced that he will be a candidate for
re-election at the general election. The hon. gen-
tleman in his present state of health, it is feared,
will be unable to take any active part in canvassing
the borough or in the contest ; but it is understood
.that his friends will do so in his behalf. Mr. Lindsay
will be opposed by Mr. Alderman Candlish, an ad-
vanced Liberal; and Mr. H.W. Fenwick, thesenior
member, offers himself for re-election. Under the
present circumstances of the borough, with three
Liberals in the field, it is stated that the Conserva-
tives will bring out Mr. Alderman Hartley, the ex-
tensive glass manufacturer, and one of the directors
of the North-Eastern Railway.

and laity of the parish of St. Martin's, Liverpool, com-
plaining of the difficulties thrown in their way of a church
in their parish.
The Bishop of CHESTER explained that he had de-
clined to consecrate the church, because some dispute had
arisen among the trustees as to the patronage.
After some little discussion the matter was dropped.
IMPERIAL GAS.

Lord RAVENSWORTH, on'the motion for the second
reading of this bill, moved as an amendment that it be

SLAVE TRADE,

Mr. BAXTER asked the First Lord of the Treasury
whether, looking to the changed aspect of affairs in Ame-
rica, her Majesty's Government, either separately or in
conjunction with the Government of the United States,
would consider the propriety of sending a squadron to the
coast of Cuba, for the purpose of preventing the importa-
tion of slaves into that island, and thereby effectually
putting an end to the slave trade ? _ _ . .

Lora PAL 11 Eit ST said, months ago her Majesty's
Government communicated with the Government of the
United States in respect to the co-operation of their ves-
sels with the cruisers of her Majesty's navy on the coast

of Africa, with a view to the prevention of the carrying on
the slave trade. Difficulties then arose with respect to the
neutrality this country had assumed, which could not at
that time be overcome. Things had, however, altered in
America, and application had again been male to the Ame-
rican Government that every privilege granted to the most
favoured nations would be offered to the cruisers of the
United States. The difficulties, he felt fully persuaded,
would be overcome, and that the evil so long complained
of on the coast of Cuba would be put an end to. (Hear,
hear.) _ _

MASTERS IN THE NAVY.
Mr. CORRY asked the Secretary to the Admiralty
whether the proposed scheme for the abolition of the rank

of master, which the First Lord of the Admiralty had stated

was to be laid before Parliament previously to its final

adoption, would specify what increase it would occasion in

le numbers on the active lists to which the officers now in

the line of masters would be removed ; and whether, in

order to obviate stagnation of promotion.fromthose lists so

increased, it would provide for airoportionate increase of the

superior lists : also whether it would comprise an estimate
of its immediate and prospective effects on the amount of
the vote for half-pay and retirement to officers of the navy?
Lord 0. PAGET replied in the affirmative. The pro-
position to be laid on the table would refer to the matter
and give the fullest information.
London, England, 1865-05-27

mere local jealous or angry political feelings that
formed the subject of dispute. Under his guidance
it became the resistance of a whole people to a
Government that was obnoxious to them—a war
founded on the same principle, if attended with a
different result, that dictated the Declaration ,of
Independence. A man who, during four years of
a mighty war, could govern a nation numbered
by millions by the aid of civil authority, and ac-
cording to constitutional law, cannot be stigma-
tised as a mere mischievous demagogue and rebel.
Whatever charge may be brought against him by
the active imaginations of Messrs. JoHNsoN and
SEWARD, or by whatever opprobrious epithets
they may choose to designate his conduct, to
Europeans at least he will never be otherwise than
the great leader of a great people, and no allegations
of conspiracy or denunciations of treason can con-
vert him from a President into an assassin and a
rebel. If Northern animosity is allowed so far
to disgrace itself as to take the life of JEFFERSON
DAVIS, it Will in this country at least be regarded,
not as the punishment of a traitor, but as cruel
and cowardly vengeance on an unarmed foe ;
vengeance for a fair and open fight, in which the
Southern President never suffered himself to be
betrayed into acts unworthy of his position.
Moderate and prudent men in the North, who
have the real interests of their country
at heart, are doubtless very sorry for the capture of
DAVIS. Even President JOHNSON himself appears
to be sensible of the dilemma in which he has placed
himself by his rash and reckless proclamation, and
by throwing the blame on the Judge-Advocate has
withdrawn the charge of complicity in the murder
which he openly brought against DAVIS. 'The New
York Press, however, for the most part, declares
DAVIS to be deserving of death, only the Tribune,
an honourable exception, appeals to the self-respect
and dignity of the people. Unhappily, neither
people nor Government have given us much cause
to trust to their moderation or their magnanimity,
and we cannot but look with considerable anxiety
for further intelligence. If the Federal Government,
instead of offering a reward, which alone was an in-
centive to capture, had suffered DAVIS to leave the
country unmolested, they would have taken the
most judicious, as well as the most generous course.
As it is they have placed themselves in a difficult
position, and we can only hope that merciful and
moderate counse s may be allowed to prevail. The
Americans may rest assured that should the punish-
ment of a felon be awarded to a prisoner impartial
observers will .not perceive much distinction between
the execution of President DAVIS and the murder of
President LINCOLN.

(From Bell's Life.)

The hypothesis that, if you can get half-a-dozen horses
on something like an equality, there is not a first-rater
amongst them, leaves room for a good " dark" one this
time ; nevertheless, having just a doubt whether the Carol
will prove glutton enough for two or three we have seen,
and especially GLADIATEUR, we shall look forward to the
Frenchmen winning a Derby at last ; and should they
prove successful, Lord Stamford's and Mr. Merry's colours
ought to be carried into the second and third places, on
the grounds that Archimedes and Wild Charley are so
close to the Two Thousand winner.
ORANGE BLOSSOM.
Reluctant still for such a stake
The final, fatal plunge to make,
With sinking heart that hope denies,
With halting breath, averted eyes,
In Fortune's urn I dip, and hold
The FRENCHMAN with BREADALBANE bold.

(From the Sporting Life.)
AUGUR.

My Derby lot are Breadalbane, Gladiateur, Wild Charley,
and Longdown, and they will, I am persuaded, hold their
own before all opponents. The choice between these four
gives me no other alternative than to depend upon
BREADALBANE or GLADIATEUR, who will have to guard
their laurels from the prowess of Wild Charley.

LORD FrrzroonE's TRIP TO THE " DARBY."
" They're off r! And now the dreamers wake,
Ten thousand tongues their silence break;
As the rainbow sweeps across
The trembling heath of grass and moss !
Rival hues draw side by side;
Now the colours open wide ;
Soon they close, and change again,
Like sunshine flickering through the rain,
Till the scarlet hoop and white
Wake an outburst of delight.
Now the dark and belted blue
Seems to burst the rainbow through;
Then the blue and crimson raise
Notes of sangine hope and praise ;
See, the yellow throws a gleam
Like a ray on a moonlit stream—
Changing shouts and faltering cheers
Echo struggling hopes and fears;
But the noble strife is done—
Proud in his might, CHATTANOGA has won ;
And this day's records shall disclose,
The triumph of the sweet Primrose!

(From the Era.)
TOUCHSTONE.

ARCHIMEDES, BRAHMA, LONGDOWN, WILD CHARLEY, and
GLADIATEUR are the lot from which we expect the winner
will spring, and wo place the first three thus :
ARCHIMEDES
LONGDOWN 2
WILD CHARLEY 3
Believing that the most dangerous outsider will turn out to
be BRAHMA.

his wife's dresses and started for the woods, closely
followed by our men, who at first thought him a
woman, but seeing his boots while he was running,
they suspected his sex at once.
The race was a short one, and the rebel President
was soon brought to bay. He brandished a bowie-
knife and showed signs of battle,. but yielded
promptly to the persuasions of Colt's revolvers,
without compelling the men to fire.
He expressed great indignation at the energy
with which he was pursued, saying that he had
believed our Government were too magnanimous to
hunt down women and children.

Mrs. Davis remarked to Col. Harden, after the
excitement was over, that the men had better not
provoke the President, or "he might hurt some
of 'em."

Reagan behaves himself with dignity and resig-
nation.

The party, evidently, were making for the coast.

PARIS, MAy 25.

The following is the return of the Bank of France
for the week ending to-day, together with the cor-
responding figures of the previous account :

DERBY PROPHECIES.

(From the Sporting Gazette.)
BEACON.

I believe the winner will be found among the following
five :—Gladiateur, Archimedes, Christmas Carol, Wild
Charley, and Ariel. I consider the two former entitled to
the preference, and believing that the French horse won
the Two Thousand with a good deal in hand, my casting
Tote must be given for GLADIATEUR, and if anything beats
the peir it will be CHRISTMAS CAROL.

RHYMING RICHARD.
Now Archimedes! Gladiateur ! their partisans cry out,
And Brahma wins for Westmoreland, the men of Findon

shout.
I see but two that have a chance, for "Gladd,y" feels the

pace,
And Archimedes' hopes can soar no higher than a place.
That's the "rose jacket" on the right, not half a length

•
behind,
The " primrose," by some magic spell, has quite regained

his wind !
And operators frown and stare, and tremble in their skins,
And shout, "I'll give a thousand pounds if only Alderoft

wins !"
No, Nemesis, it cannot be—stout Stockwell's gallant son
Shall see a brighter day than this, but here the fight is

won.
For Challoner is creeping up, and inch by inch his stride
Brings CHATTANOOGA to the front ! —now let his foes deride
And now let Rumour, full of tongues, repeat here tale once

more,
For as the "roarer" wins the race, we hear an answering
"roar!"

That ('mid those triumphs of the year,
Not willingly let die)
Records in letters bright and clear,
BREADALBANE'S victory !
BIFRONS.
In summing up, we should take Gladiateur, the Duke,
Archimedes, Breadalbane, Broomielaw, Oppressor, LOng-
down, and Wild Charley to beat the field ; believing that
if the race is destined to fall to an outsider, Bedminster,
Chattanooga, or Brahma may accomplish that distinction.
I ought to add that Christmas Carol, of whom nothing is
known, must have a great chance !
London, England, 1865-05-27

WEST KENT.

On Thursday evening Messrs. Angerstein, M.P.,
and Lubbock, the Liberal candidates for West Kent,
addressed a large and influential meeting of electors
in the Assembly-rooms, Harmer-street, Gravesend.
Mr. Robert Oakes, J.P., was voted to the chair, and
a large number of influential gentlemen, including
Mr. F. Leith, J.P., and the Rev. Mr. Price, sat on
the platform. Both the hon. gentlemen expressed
themselves in favour of extending the franchise and
reform, and claimed independence of action in giv-
ing their votes. Resolutions pledging the meeting to
give the hon. gentlemen their support at the coming
election were proposed by Lieutenant Baker, and
seconded by the Rev. Mr. Price, and carried unani-
mously, when, after a vote of thanks to the chair,
the meeting terminated.
London, England, 1865-05-27

MADRAS.

The traffic receipts on the company's south-west
hne for the quarter ending March 31st last amounted,
on 492 miles open, to £83,306, or £l6O per mile,
against £59,963, on 407 miles open, or £147 per
mile, for the corresponding period of 1864. On the
company's north-west line the receipts for the three
months amounted to £7,399, on 70 miles open, or
£94 per mile, against £2,971, on 41 miles open, or
£72 per mile, for thb same period last year. On the
two lines together the increase for the quarter was
£27,771, or 44 per cent., in receipts, and 123 miles,
or 27i per cent. in the length of way open.

GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA.
The traffic receipts on this company's lines for tre
week ending the 6th inst., amounted for local pas-
sengers to £6,005; for foreign passengers to £2,073 ;
for emigrants to £307 ; for mails, Sze., to £612; for
local freight and live stock to £12,578; and for
foreign freight and live stock to £4,B23—total,
£26,398, and for the corresponding week last year
to £22,305, showing an increase of £4,093. The
total receipts from Jan. Ist to the 6th inst. amounted
to £428,188, against £406,010 for the correspond-
ing period in 1864, showing an increase of £22,17 8
London, England, 1865-05-27

EAST RETFORD AND BASSETLAW.

The members for East Retford will probably be
re-elected without opposition. Lord Galway pleases
his own party by his votes and conciliates the Liberals
by his attention to local business. Mr. Foljambe
has the advantage of distinguished support from
many of the large landowners, and the inhabitants
of Worksop and Retford, as well as the villages of
Bassetlaw, who are independent or free from all local
influence, would give their votes in his favour.
Besides, a great number of the Conservatives, who
rise above the level of party,have declared their in-
tention of placing his name on the card with Lord
Galway.
London, England, 1865-05-27

I am at the same time to request you to represent to the
Birmingham Chamber of Commerce the great necessity that
there should be as far as practicable a thorough concert
and organisation among the representatives of the various
industries who may be designated by the respective cham-
bers to proceed to Vienna.
I am further to state that the classification of the tariff
alluded to in the annexed as being in preparation will,when
received, be forwarded to you without delay, and that any
further information with which it may be desirable your
chamber should be acquainted will be communicated as
early as possible.
I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant,
J. EMERSON TENNENT.

The Secretary to the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce.

The following is an extract from a letter from the
Right. Hon. Mr. Hutt to the President of the Board
of Trade :
Vienna, May 18, 1865.

The International Commission has decided on delegating
to committees composed of members of their body the task
of examining and reporting the operation of the Austrian
Tariff upon the principal industries of the United Kingdom
and of Austria, and a committee so constituted has already
commenced this inquiry in connexion with metals andmetal

The Austrian Treaty.

The following has been received by the Birming-
ham Chamber of Commerce :
Board of Trade, Whitehall, May 24.

Sir,—Referring to my letter of the 19th inst., enclosing
certain extracts from the programme of the Austrian Tariff
Commission, I am directed to state to you for the informa-
tion of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce that my
Lords have received a communication from Right Hon.
Mr. Hutt, of which an abstract is annexed, with reference
to the attendance at Vienna of delegates representing the
various British industries.

COUNTRY MARKETS

LIVERPOOL-FRIDAY.

The arrivals from Ireland and coastwise since Tuesday
have been moderate, and consist of 669 qrs. wheat, 894 qrs.
oats, and 120 sacks flour The trade has been quiet but
firm for all articles. At this day's market there was a thin
attendance of the town and country trade and a very small
business was transacted, Wheat and flour met with a slow
sale at Tuesday's rates. Oats and oatmeal were in very
limited request, although offered on rather easier terms.
Barley, beans, and peas were neglected, and nominally
without change in value. Indian corn scarcely inquired
for, and fine Danube obtainable at 29s 3d per 4801 b.

NORTH NOTTLNGHAAISHIRE.

At the close of the present Parliament Lord R.
Clinton will retire from the representation of the
Ndrthern Division of Nottinghamshire ; but the
Right Hon. the Speaker will solicit a renewal of his
trust. Lord R. Clinton retires from ill-health, and
it is probable that Lord E. Clinton, a brother of the
Duke of Newcastle, will offer himself for the vacancy.
Capt. Savile, of Rufford-abbey, has been named,
but it is stated that he declines to stand. It is ex-
pected that there will be no contest, as the Speaker
is most popular, and the 'influence of the Duke of
Newcastle is very great.
