REVELATION of QUACKS and QUACKERY.
By DETECTOR.

For notices of this startling work see the "Saturday Re-
view" of April 1, entitled "Quacks and Quackery ; the
"Weekly Dispatch" of April 9, "The Quacks and their
Crimes ;" "The Sun" of April 12, "'Detector's' Broadside
on Quacks and Quackery."
GUIDE TO THE QUACKS OF LONDON.
A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in
the " 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 no!some, 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 mauy of Mr." Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the
country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub-
lish the information that a nominal' list of these miscreants.
with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning
them, n,edfut to be known, will be found in the pamphb t
above referred to, which is entitled " Revelations of Quacks
and Quackery," and is to be had at the "Medical Circular"
Office, 20, King Williarn-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 Hilly set forth in "Revelations
of Quacks and Qackery." And mark espec'ally 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, whi'e 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 acquaisted, if your acquaint-
ance is large. " Who are the Quacks that 'Punch' means ?"
Consider what it is to he able to answer this question of the
young and inexperienced, and, for charity's sake, If for no
other, go and provide yourself with " Ifevelattons of Quacks
and Quackery," by Detector.—Punch, April 12.

HISTORIC PICTURES.
By A. BAILLIE COCHRANE, M.P.

From the Times, April 24.—" Mr. Heinle Cochrane has
published two entertaining volumes of studies from history.
They are lively reading. My aim,' he says, has been to de-
pict events generally known in a light and, if possible, a
picturesque manner.' Mr. Cochrane has been quite success-
ful in carrying out his intention. The work is a study of the
more interesting moments of history—what, indeed, the
author himself
,calls it, Historic Pictures.' "

; SPORTING NOTES.

Several of the "knowing" bookmakers have got up a
quibble about Buckfoot having carried 51b. over the proper
weight for the Chester Cup. He wen the Willoughby
Handicap at Warwick : to that race there was 19 sub-
scribers, 10 of whom paid £5 each, which makes £5O.
Four ran for the race at 15 sovs each which made £6O.
There was £4O of added money. The five that did not
run paid £lO each, which exactly brought the stakes up to
£2OO, and thus the penalty was incurred.
The following sum in simple addition makes the above
easier understood :

Four ran at fifteen soya each £6O
Tgn paid forfeit at five sovs each
Five non-starters paid ten sovs each 5O
Forty sovs were added

Total value of the stakes £2OO
There is not the slightest justification in the bookmakers
not paying for a place over Buddoet.

SOUTH DEVON.

An adjourned meeting of this company was held at
Plymouth on Tuesday, Mr. T. Woollcombe in the chair,
to consider a bill now ',before Parliament empowering the
South Devon Railway Company to make a branch rail-
way at Exeter, and to confer upon them other powers in
relation to the undertakings of other companies, and to
raise £480,000 additional capital.

The approval of the bill having been moved by the
CHAIRMAN, and seconded by the DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN,
The following amendment was moved by Mr. ELLIs, and
seconded by Mr. CLARKE :
" That inasmuch as the associated companies hold only
one-third part of the stock of the company, and now nomi-
nate six of the 11 directors, it is undesirable to increase the
capital of the company as proposed in the bill unless pro-
vision be made for the shareholders to elect a larger num-
ber of the directors."

On a show of hands the CHAIRMAN declared the amend-
ment lost and the original motion carried; but in conse-
quence of the oppoeition to the bill it was necessary to
count the proxies, which gave the directors a large majority.
Mr. Eiiis explained that ho brought forward the amend-
ment chiefly as a protest against so large a sum as £480,000
additional capital being raised by the company without
adequate power being given to the shareholders, indepen-
dent of the associated companies.

ROYAL SARDINIAN.

The report of the directors states that the objects they
have in view are to raise sufficient capital for the comple-
tion of distinct and entire portions of the railway, and
thereby to utilise the money already expended ; to relieve
as far as possible from further payments the holders of
shares who aro unable to fulfil their obligations ; and to
create a stock in the company commanding a market. The
estimated cost of completing section A, 125 miles in length,
is £663,317, and the amount of Government guarantee
thereon £72,720 per annum ; of section B, 94 miles in
length, £472,182, and amount of guarantee £54,520 per
annum ; and of section C, 811 miles, £391,829, and the
amount of guarantee £47,415 per annum, making
together 300 k miles, requiring £1,527,328, and
the amount of guarantee £174,655 per annum.
Having regard to the contract with Messrs. Smith,
Knight, and Co., and to the fact that the works have
been commenced on all the portions classed under letter A,
it would seem desirable to consider how the £663,317 can
be raised. The directors recommend that £600,000 be raised
by the creation of 60,000 10 per cent. preference shares of
£lO each; that all arrears of calls be paid up, and that a
further call of £l. per share be made on the 39,828 existing
£2O shares, so that £lO per share be paid upon them, mak-
ing together £673,233. Of the 60,000 preference £lO shares
20,172 have been provisionally placed, so that 39,828 re-
main for distribution among the holders of the existing £2O
shares. In the event of the whole of tho 60,000 preference
shares being issued, the holders of the existing £2O shares
who shall before a certain day pay to the company such
further amount as with the sum already paid will make up
£lO per share are to bo relieved from all liability to further
calls and from forfeiture, and such shares are thenceforth to
be considered as fully paid up ordinary shares of £lO each.

LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 11, 1863.

The arrival of the Belgian informs us of the final
surrender of the chief Confederate force remaining
in the field. It seems from the official account that
after the disavowal of SHERMAN'S authority, GRANT
offered JOHNSTON the same terms as those which
LEE surrendered upon. JoHNSTON at first stipulated
that DAVIS and the other leaders of the Confederacy
should have permission to leave the country, but
appears finally to have been compelled to abandon
this condition, and to have surrendered upon
exactly the same terms as his more renowned leader.
It is not surprising that upon the receipt of this in-
telligence Mr. STANTON should have ordered an
immediate curtailment of the military expenses,
since there is at last a prospect of the conclu-
sion of the war, but much will depend upon
the spirit in which the Federal leaders will improve
the opportunity. We must hope, though their con-
duct since their accession to power gives little
grounds for confidence, that they will be sensible
of the greatness of their responsibility and the
importance of the occasion. It is a juncture
which especially calls for moderation and mag-
nanimity—two qualities for which American states-
men are unhappily not generally remarkable. In
the triumphs of their arms the Federals must not
forget that though temporarily victorious they have
not subdued the people—that there is still a strong
feeling extant in the Confederacy against Federal
dominion—that the old clashing of interests and
struggle for supremacy will be enhanced tenfold
by the bitter memories of the war. All these con-
siderations should make them act warily, and
should induce them to be liberal and courteous
in their dealings with the South. Unhappily as
yet the principal speakers and actors in the North,
with the exception of the two military leaders,
have endeavoured rather to inflame the angry
passions of the multitude, and to increase the
irritation felt in the South than to soothe away
animosity and party
rancour. GRANT and SHER-
MAN have acted in accordance with their reputation
as soldiers, and with the feeling of brave men
Who offer to a brave and honourable foe the same
terms which in his position they could accept them-
selves. By so doing they have consolidated
the Federal triumphs, and have temporarily arrested
the effusion of blood. It remains to be seen whether
the civil leaders will have the good sense and right
feeling to imitate their moderation, a moderation
which has raised their reputation in Europe more

HAMMERSMITH AND CITY.

A special general meeting of this company was held yes-
terday at the offices, Bedford-street, Strand, Mr. E. Foakes
in the chair.
Mr. A. L. Jenkins, the secretary, read the notice con-
vening the meeting to consider three bills now before Par-
liament.

• The CHAIRMAN said the first bill he had to submit was a
bill to authorise the company to alter some of the works
connected with the railway, and to purchase additional
lands, and to lease or transfer their undertaking to the
Great Western and Metropolitan Railway Companies. It
authorised the company to raise £lOO,OOO additional capital
on shares, and to borrow £33,000. The new capital was re-
quired for making the necessary alterations and improve-
ments in their line, the station at Hammersmith, and also a
new road. These powers were sought for at the instance
and with the consent of the Great Western Company.
There was also authority, with the assent of the share-
holders, to transfer the company's undertaking to the two
companies, the latter paying them dividends for the first
year at 5 per cent. per annum, and gradually increasing
each year one-eighth per cent to 5i per cent. per annum.
The lease was now in operation, commencing as from the
Ist of January last.
The Solicitor having read the heads of the bill, a formal
resolution approving it was carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN said the next was a bill to confer fur-
ther powers upon the Metropolitan Railw.ay Company with
reference to certain works and lands and the regulation of
their undertaking, and to authorise the lease or transfer of
the undertaking of the Hammersmith and City Railway,
and arrangements with other companies and parties. It
authorised the Metropolitan Company to lease and accept
a transfer of the line in conjunction with the Great Western
Company.
The bill was then approved.
On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Colonel
WARD, a bill, promoted by an independent company, for
making railways from the Hammersmith and City Railway,
through Fulham, to the north side of the river Thames,
was approved. It was stated that the new line would be
something less than two miles in length, and terminate
near the new Wandsworth-bridge.
