Naval and Military Intelligence.

Yesterday morning Col. Mundy, Acting-Com-
mandant of the Royal Artillery at Woolwich, at-
tended by Col. Payne, Royal Marines, Cols. Wode-
house, C. 8., Moberly, and Middleton, C. 8., Royal
Artillery, Brigade-Major Hay, and other officers,
visted the gymnasium of the garrison, and inspected
the classes of the non-commissioned officers and men
of the Royal Artillery and Royal Marines who have
completed a course of training in gymnastic exer-
cises. Capt. Clark, the superintendent, put the
classes through various exercises, the vaulting and
escalading being remarkably good. The sword exer-
cise of the non-commissioned officers was considered
most efficient. The commandant expressed himself
much pleased with the result of his inspection.
Twenty officers and 50 non-commissioned officers
who were selected from the brigades of Royal Artil-
lery in the various stations at home and abroad, and
who have completed a lengthened course of practical
study extending over the past 18 months at Shoe-
buryness, returned to Woolwich on Monday, and
yesterday commenced a course of exercise and study
in the manufacturing departments of the Royal Ar-
senal. Each officer has passed the necessary exami-
nation rendering him competent to undertake' the
post of instructor in gunnery.

of Woolwich Dockyard, yesterday, accompanied by
Mr. Ponsonby, R.N., hisprivate secretary, and Com-
mander Towsey, inspected the whole of the ships in
commission at Woolwich and mustered the crews,
according to a new regulation to be carried out on
the first Thursday in each month.

Her Majesty's 17-gun steam screw sloop Mutine,
thoroughly refitted at Woolwich, is ready for the
pennant, and has the whole of her stores on board.

this restriction had been removed. The report of
the engineer showed the continued improvements
which were being made in the permanent way and
condition of the railway. The traffic of the Detroit

and Milwaukee Railway continued to be steadily
developed, but no portion of the arrears of interest
due to the Great Western had been discharged.

Railway Communication between Woolwich

and Greenwich.

Last night a crowded and influential public meet-
ing of the inhabitants of Woolwich, Charlton, and
Plumstead was held at the Town-hall, Woolwich, to
adopt measures for promoting the bill now before
Parliament for the construction of a branch line of
railway from Greenwich to Woolwich, passing
through Greenwich-park by means of a tunnel.
The chair was occupied- by Mr. Jackson, chairman
of the Woolwich Local Board of Health ; and on
the platform were Mr. W. Angerstein, M.P., and
numerous influential residents of the district.

Mr. BASSETT moved, and Mr. TUFFIELD seconded,
a resolution setting forth the absolute necessity
which existed for direct railway communication be-
tween Woolwich, Greenwich, and Deptford ; and
it was stated that, although the Astronomer Royal
(Professor Airey) had on two occasions reported
to the Admiralty that such railway might at a
certain distance from the observatory, and under
certain conditions, pass through Greenwich-park
without detriment to the scientific opera-
tions, the professor had now expressed his
fears that the fact of railway trains passing so near
the observatory might induce the belief that the
vibration arising therefrom would injuriously affect
the observations made.

Mr. ANGERSTEIN, M.P., replied to the objections
made against the passing of the railway through the
park, and said that experiments made by the most
eminent scientific men of the age fully proved that
the vibration of railway trains passing under a
covered way at a slow rate of speed would not cause
the evils apprehended. Professor Airey was possessed
of high scientific acquirements, and was, no doubt,
the right man in the right place ; but after giving
up his opposition to such a railway, and confessing
that it might be so laid down and worked as not to
interfere with the operations at the observatory,
it was singular that he should now raise an ob-
stacle of such a fanciful nature. He believed it
rested with the inhabitants of that district whether
they had this railway or not. If they were unani-
mous upon the subject he had no doubt that Parlia-
ment would pass the bill.
The CHAIRMAN read a letter from Alderman
Salomons, M.P., regretting his absence, andstrongly
supporting the proposed railway, which he consi-
dered had already been too long delayed.
Addresses were delivered by Mr. Carttar, coroner
for West Kent, and other gentlemen, and resolu-
tions were adopted in accordance with the objects
of the meeting, which separated after a vote of
thanks to the chairman.

GREAT WESTERN OF CANADA.

The report states that the aggregate expenditure
on capital amounted to £5,092,186, leaving a bal-
ance of £53,490. The outlay on capital account
during the half-year consisted of new sidings,
&c., at stations, fish jointing rails, difference
of expense in rebuilding in stone and iron four
wooden bridges between Hamilton and London, ex-
tension of line in the city of Toronto, and other
works, amounting to £18,182. The revenue account
for the past half-year showed that the gross receipts
amounted to £312,730, the working expenses, in-
cluding rent of suspension-bridge, to £137,437, and
the balance to £175,292. From this was deducted,
£47,498 interest on Government loan, £33,359 in-
terest on company's bonds, £74,502 loss on conver-
sion of American currency, and £31,140 on re-
newal of rails, sleepers, and bridges, making
£ls6,soo—leaving a balance of £18,792. To this
was added £81,415, over-estimated loss on American
currency, and £10,961 surplus from the preceding
half-year, making a surplus of £38,169 ; from which
the directors recommended a :dividend at the rate of
2 per cent. per annum, leaving a balance of £4,57t
The reduction of the available balance by the con-
version of American funds into gold amounted for
the past half-year to £74,502. The working ex-
penses of the last half-year were 43.95 per cent. of
the receipts. Friendly relations with all the Arne.-
rican lines had been maintained, and the best feel-
ing continued to exist; but, owing to border diffi-
culties, the United States Government instituted a
passport system at the close of last year which, to
a great extent, put a stop to the through passenger
traffic between the eastern and western States of
America via Canada. It had also lessened consi-
derably the local passenger business between Canada
and the States. But by proclamation from the
State department at Washington, dated March Bth,

His Holiness the Pope.

The Illoniteur du Soir publishes the following
article :—" The foreign press has of late been much
occupied with the question of what arrangements
the Holy See would adopt relative to the Conven-
tion of the 15th September; and pretended friends
of the Papacy have endeavoured to propagate the
rumour that the Holy Father, far. from thinking of
any measure to place his Government in a state
to suffice for itself, intended to quit Rome before
the departure of the French troops, or immedi-
ately after. The persons wha indulge in such con-
jectures are, we are inclined to think, very inexactly
informed as to the real sentiments of Pius IX. No-
thing in the attitude of the Court of Rome leads to
the supposition that it is not disposed to profit by the
advantages offered in the arrangements concluded be-
tween France and Italy. Those stipulations guarantee
the frontiers of the Roman State, relieve its treasury
from the burden of a considerable debt, and thus
insure to it security from abroad as well as the
resources necessary for organising its means of de-
fence at home. To renounce beforehand every effort
for remaining on such conditions would be to make
an avowal of impuissance at which the enemies of
the Church alone could rejoice.' We have reasons
for believing that the Pontifical Government is
seriously occupied with the organisation of its gen-
darmery, the corps best calculated for the service to
be looked for from an army destined above all for
the maintenance of internal order."

over the rates of Tuesday. Flour without change, and 'id
sale slow. Oats and oatmeal dearer. Indian corn wash e*
for an advance of 9d per qr., which checked sale, onll4
limited business having been done in Danubian, at 290 "

GUIDE TO TAE 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
realer 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 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, needful to be known, will be found in the pamphiot
above referred to, which is entitled " Revelations of Quacks
and Quackery," and is to be had at the "Medical Circular"
Office, 20, King William-street, Strand, W.C.
The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel
rapacity, and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of
Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to
the causation of suicide, are fully set forth in " Revelations
of Quacks and Qackery." And mark especially that, as
aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are published. The
pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di-
rectory, by consulting which every young man may know
where he may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed.
—Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy "Revelations of
Quacks and Quackery." Its contents will astonish and amuse
you, 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 acquainted, if your acquaint-
ance is large. " Who are the Quacks that 'Punch' means ?"
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 Quackery," by Detector.—Punch, April 12.

OKEHAMPTON.

A special meeting of this company was held yesterday at
the office, Poets'-corner, Westminster, Mr. Lankester in the
chair.

Three bills were submitted and approved—namely, a bill
for authorising the company to make an extension of their
line to Bude, in Cornwall ; a bill for authorising the
Launceston, Bodmin, and Wadebridge Railway Company
to make extensions to Ruthern-bridge and to Truro; and
a bill authorising the Bodmin and Wadebridge Railway
Company to improve their railway and to make arrange-
ments with other companies.

expediency of the regulation, it is highly probable
that the bench also will be tenacious of what they
consider theirs."

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Bombay Gazette.)

The various telegrams to hand in the early part of the
fortnight, although coming forward very irregularly, have
been of a nature calculated to impart a better tone to our
market than has been lately prevailing. The direct mail
of the 18th February arrived on the 14th inst., and her ad-
vices fully confirm the failure of the peace negotiations.
On the 20th a telegram was received, dated on the evening
of 15th, reporting large sales of cotton at Liverpool,with an
advancing market and quoting fair Dhollera 13-id. At
Manchester the market was gradually hardening and a
good business doing, 81b. shirtings, 14s. 6d. Subsequent

telegrams, however, are less encouraging, the latest, dated
21st inst., quoting fair Dhollera at 12d. American in-
telligence is to the effect that Lincoln's inaugural address
indicates no change of policy, and that the Confederates
had been successful in checking Sherman. Telegrams
from Calcutta are to the 24th inst., advising a very languid
and depressed market.
Money—The position of the bank has considerably im-
proved during the fortnight, and the directors have been
enabled to reduce rates 1 per cent. Business being very
restricted at present the demand for discount is compara-
tively light; there is, however, a good deal of inquiry for
accommodation on the security of shares, but as the banks
generally are not now giving such ready facility for ob-
taining these loans as formerly, holders are experiencing
some difficulty in getting the necessary funds. Some un-
easiness has been felt in consequence of one or two suspen-
sions which have been announced here. In Calcutta there
is increased ease in the money market, and the Bank of
Bengal has reduced its rate two per cent. during the fort-
night.

DROPPING A CORPSE.—On Tuesday four men
were charged at Pershore with drunken and disgraceful
conduct at Fladbury. The defendants, Henry and Benja-
min Summers, plasterers, of Evesham, and Jeremiah Grif-
fiths and John Bennett, builders' labourers, were employed
in the erection of the now schools at Fladbury. One of
their companions, a man named Charles Evans, died, at his
lodgings in the parish, of small-pox, and it was deemed
advisable to inter the body the same evening. The defen-
dants acted as carriers, but they imbibed intoxicating
drinks so freely before starting and on their way to the
churchyard that they were unable to walk steadily,
dropped the coffin and corpse in the road several times,
and acted in a very unseemly manner throughout. Griffiths
was fined £2 and costs, and Summers £1 and costs. The
other two men were reprimanded.—Birmingham Post.
London, England, 1865-04-22

WESTMINSTER.

A FRENCH BUTLER'S ADVENTURE.—Mary Ann Tucker,
a young woman, was placed at the bar, charged with rob-
bing Bertram Gustave, a French butler, engaged at 39,
Chester-square.
Prosecutor, who spoke English very indifferently, said
that last night, at half-past twelve, he returned from the
Hanover-square rooms, and was going towards a pillar-
box in Eaton-square to post a letter, when he was accosted
by the prisoner and another female, who wanted to have
some talk with him, but he told them he did not wish. He
however could not get rid of them, and they got on either
side, and not only both talked to him, but touched him in
a funny manner, and soon he discovered that the prisoner
had robbed him of 2s. 6d. The prisoner was on the side
from which he lost the money, which was stolen from a
portmonaie in his pocket.
Mr. Selfe inquired whether the portmonaio was left in
his pocket ?
Prosecutor replied that it was.

Mr. Selfe expressed his surprise.
Prosecutor, in further describing the circumstances, said
that the prisoner pressed so close upon him that he could
not tell whether " she was in his pocket or outside." He
did not like to push the prisoner or her companion away,
because he did not wish to hurt them. They were with
him two minutes only.
Police-constable, 162 B, proved hearing a cry of police•
He took prisoner but there was nothing found on her, and
she denied the offence in toto, but admitted having spoken
to the prosecutor. She had been in custody before for
felony.
Mr. Selfe said he did not think a jury would convict,
and he should therefore not send the prisoner for trial.
He discharged her with a caution.

WEST FLANDERS.

The report of the directors states that the receipts on the
Bruges and Courtrai line amounted for the past half-year,
ending Dec. 31, to £18,749, against £17,058 for the corre-
sponding half of 1863, showing an increase of £1,691. The
receipts on the guaranteed lines amounted to £12,779,
against £11,665 for the corresponding half of 1863, showing
an increase of £1,114. The total receipts on both lines
amounted to £31,528, against £28,723, showing an increase
of £2,805. The expenditure amounted to £21,860, against
£17,921, the excess being principally for the renewal of the
permanent way and the repairs of rolling stock. The result
from the six months' working to Dec. 31 last, added to the
balance of £609 from the previous half-year's account, and
after providing for the fixed charges, &c., on the railway,
left £6,457 available for dividend, out of which the direc-
tors proposed to distribute 4s. 9d. per share, payable on
May 15 next, leaving £lO2. Definitive shares in lieu of
the provisional certificates had been exchanged for 26,272
original shares and 13,980 preference shares, leaving but a
small number outstanding. Surveys, plans, and estimates
had been proceeded with, but were not sufficiently ad-
vanced to fix the capital required for the construction of
the two new lines, from Roulers to Ypres and from Poper-
inghe to the French frontier,which was being settled be-
tween the Societe d'Exploitation de Chemins de For and
the West Flanders Railway Company. The whole working
of the line was now in the hands of the Societe d'Exploita-
tion, and was proceeding most satisfactorily. The report of
Mr. A. W. Chantrell, the general manager, showed that
there had been a gradual increase in the traffic on the new
and old lines during the last five years of about 30 per cent.
The cost of the renewals of permanent way during the year
1864 amounted to £4,580, agst £2,416 in 1863, and £2,589
in 1862. The capital account showed that £599,077 had
been expended on construction account to 31st Dec. last.

tram, have reported on the botany ; that Roth and Tris-
tram have brought home shells, birds, and eggs ; that the
researches of M, Lartet on the geology of the Dead Sea,
and those of De Vogue and De Saulcy on archaeology,
are on the eve of publication. This is true; but without in-
tending to detract from the usefulness or the credit of the
labours of these eminent men, it is sufficient to observe
that their researches have been partial and isolated, and
their results in too many cases discrepant with each other.
What is now proposed is an expedition composed of
thoroughly competent persons in each branch of research,
with perfect command of funds and time, and with all pos-
sible appliances and facilities, who should produce a report
on Palestine which might be accepted by all parties as a
trustworthy and thoroughly satisfactory document.
" It is hoped that an arrangement may be made by which
Captain Wilson will be able to remain for a few months in
the country after he has completed the survey of Jerusalem
and the levelling between the Mediterranean and the Dead
Sea, and it will not be difficult to find competent persons to
undertake the other departments named above. The annual
cost of each investigator may be taken roughly at £BOO
(including both remuneration and expenses).
" The fund will be under the general control of a com-
mittee, aided by a small executive council chosen by the
committee from its own body.

" On the council will devolve the charge of administering
the affairs of the fund, reporting periodically to the com-
mittee,

" The practicability of such an undertaking as that now
proposed has been amply proved by the success of the "As-
syrian Excavation Fund," formed in 1853, for prosecuting
researches in the Mounds of Assyria, for which a large sum
was raised by private subscription, and by which, during
the short time it existed, much was effected. His Royal
Highness the Prince Consort, with characteristic liberality,
showed his approbation of the project by becoming its
patron and subscribing to the fund.

" The following noblemen and gentlemen have already
consented to join the committee :—Archbishop of York,
Duke of Argyll, Duke of Devonshire, Bishop of London,
Bishop. of Osord, Bishop of Ely, Earl of Shaftesbury, Sir S.
Morton Peto, M.P., Dean of Westminster, Dean of Christ-
church, Rev. George Williams, Rev. Samuel Martin,
