EDUCATION.

Mr: P. S. POWELL asked the Vice-President of the
Committee of Council on Education when the annual
report of the committee would be laid upon the table ; and,
when the new minute as to endowed schools would be
distributed among members.
Mr. BRUCE said he did not think he would be enabled
to lay the report on the table before the month of June.
Ho knew that would be late, with respect to the
discussion which might arise on the educational
estimates. With respect to the production of the
minute, it had been laid on the table that day week,
and he did not know why it had not been produced. The
delay must rest with the Queen's printer and he would
take care that the attention of the authorities was drawn
to the matter.

PUBLIC BUSINESS.
Mr. DISRAELI said it would be for the convenience of
the house if the right hon. baronet opposite would state the
order of business fur Monday next. (near, hear.)

The Fall of Richmond,

A Canadian in Richmond writes to the Montreal
Gazette as follows :—" Richmond, Aprills.—After
a sharp contest between the rebel' army of less
than 50,000 men, and the United States' forces,
amounting to about 115,000, the city fell into the
hands of the latter, the remains of the ' rebel' army
leaving it to its fate, in order to hurry to Danville
and there join the army under General Johnston
which it failed to do owing to the great cavalry force
of the enemy, which headed it off at every road
leading to that point, On the 9th the remains of the
army under General Lee, numbering from 17,000 to
to 20,000 men, was surrendered. For these figures
I have the word of General Alexander, C.S.A.,
Chief of Artillery of the Ist Corps, who is well in-
formed in the matter. He told me also that the
remains of two divisions of cavalry under Generals
Fitz Hugh Lee and Rosser cut their way out of the
United States' forces, but that Lee returned with a
part of his command on hearing of the surrender of
his chief. As to the gallant Rosser, he is gone, and
they 4o not know where he is. General Lee has lost
nothing of his reputation by this reverse. He-made
a good fight against great odds, and a rapid and
clever retreat. If he had 5,000 or 6,000 good
cavalry he would have got away. His force of that
arm was about 5,000 men, on half-starved horses ;
that of the enemy was about 12,000, and the horses
were in good condition. As for this city, from the
Capitol, which is on a fine site in the heart of the
city, you see a waste of ruins from Main-street
to the river. This is the business part of the
city, and it was set fire by pillagers, half drunk
with " apple jack." The banks are included in the
ruins. Nothing but a long row of blackened chim-
neys now meets the eye where once there was
the stir of business. The fine bridge of the Central
Railroad over the James is also burnt. This was
done by order of the C. S. General commanding
the place. I went to Mr. Davis's office, and found
it to be a good-sized apartment, with a long oval
table, covered with cloth in the centre, and a chair
lined with leather by the side of it. This chair was
the seat of Mr. Davis up to the time he had to quit
the capital. A few large envelopes were lying about,
with the words " C. S. of America," " Official busi-
ness" printed upon them. Confederate States bonds
were selling in the street for Sc.. Only think of
that ! It tells the tale of the fall of this city morefor-
cibly than any thing. Many persons were getting
them as curiosities. Few persons have been able to
come here yet, for it is not easy to obtain a pass.
The city and environs are full of interest, and if the
city was open to visitors, there would be a flood of
them. To many of you, and the officers of the army
in particular, the ground covered by the lines of
defences in front of Petersburg would be of the
greatest interest. It is cut up by a maze of works.
Only two divisions of the Army of the James occupy
the city—the 3d of the 24th Corps, and the Ist of
the 25th Corps (negro)."

The Neue freie Presse of to-day says :
reply of Russia to the last note of Prussia was
despatched yesterday to Berlin. It advocates the

VIENNA, MAY 13th.

The Oesterreichische Zeitung of to-day publishes
an analysis of the reply of Austria to the proposal
of Prussia relative to the convocation of the Diet of
the Duchies. Austria consents to this step upon
condition that all questions to be discussed by the
Diet should be submitted to it jointly by Austria
and Prussia, and that the Duke of Augustenburg
should remain in Kiel during the session. Austria
does not object to the electoral law of 1848 as the
basis of the elections.

REVELATION of QUACKS and QUACKERY.
By DkTECTOR.

For notices of this startling work see the "Saturday Re.
view" of April 7, entitled "Quacks and Quackery ;" the
"Weekly aspatch" 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 " siedical Circular," with the signature of "Detector,"
has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. Thc
reader of "Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has
of ten 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 niiscreants,
with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning
them, n,edfut to be known, will be found in the pamphlet
above referred to, which is entitled "Revelations of Quacks
an I 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 publishe•i. 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 contents will astonish and amuse
yuu, 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 tne 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 Quackery," by Detector.—Punch, April 12.

LLANELLY.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at
Radley's Hotel, Bla,ckfriars ; Mr. J. Biddulph in the chair.
The report stated that the earnings during the half-year
ending June 30 last were £17,992, and the working expenses,
inclusive of the hire and purchase of waggons, £2,628 ;
showing an increase of £1,026 in the receipts over the cor-
responding half of 1864, and of £645 in the expenses. The
profit of the half-year was £8,363 ;to which was added
the balance from the previous account, £502 ; making the
total £8,865. After payment of interest on debentures,
and rent of the Vale of Towy Railway, together amounting
to £3,607, a surplus remained of £5,258, applicable as fol-
lows— 5 per cent. on the A preference stock and B pre-
ference shares, amounting to £1866, leaving for the ordinary
stockX3,393, out of which the du ectors recommend a dividend
of 34 per cent. per annum, leaving a balance of £192. By
an act recently passed the company were empowered to con-
struct a branch of about one mile and three-quarters in
length, for connecting their St. David's line with the autho-
rised Carmarthenshire Railway, and to raise a sum not ex-
ceeding £30,000 in shares or stock for that purpose. Mu-
tualrunning powers over the two lines were also conferred
by the same act. The Carmarthen line was opened for gene-
ral traffic on June 1. An act enabling the company to
additional capital on the Swansea lines to the extent of
£120,000 in shares and £40,000 in debentures for general
purposes received the royal assent in the last session. An
act had also passed authorising the construction by the
company of an extension of about2l miles of their Swansea
lines to the Mumbles.
The CRAIRRAIi moved the adoption of the report, which
was seconded by Mr. C. FOWLER, and earriedunanimously.
A dividend at the rate of £3 ss. per cent. per annum was
declared for the past half-year, being 15s. per cent. per an-
num more than for the corresponding period last year.
A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro-
ceedings.

Court of Common Council.

Yesterday a special meeting of the Common Council
was held at the Guildhall, the Lord Mayor (Alderman
Hale) presiding.

THE STREET TRAFFIC.

Mr. HEATH, pursuant to notice, moved a resolution call-
ing the attention of the city magistrates to the over-
crowded state of the streets in the immediate vicinity of
the Mansion-house ; to the desirability of providing addi-
tional cabstands ; and also to the necessity of more strin-
gently carrying out the provisions of the law with respect
to the drivers of cabs plyingfor hire in thepublicthorough-
fares. He attributed much of the overcrowding to declara-
tions by certain of the city magistrates from the bench to
the effect that they always took a cab, when they wanted
one, wherever they could find it, which, he said, tended to
encourage cabmen loitering in the streets for hire.
Mr. HARTRIDGE seconded the resolution, remarking that
he had recently beenknocked down in crossing the Poultry
and seriously hurt. It was next to impossible, he said, to
cross Cheapside or in front of the Mansion-house, with
safety, in the busiest parts of the day.
Alderman SALOMONS, M.P., said he came into the city
daily, never feeling exactly happy unless he came, and he
generally moved about in• cabs. The reason that so many
cabs were found in the city was because people were con-
stantly flocking to it. They came for a great part in cabs,
and cabs, on setting down their fares, had to make their
way out of the city as best they could, seeing that now, as
compared with former times, there were but few cabstands
in it. The corporation had done nothing to provide a suffi-
cient number of cabstands. The consequence was that
people whose time was valuable took cabs wherever they
found them ; and until the corporation did its duty in that
respect the evil of loitering would necessarily continue.
Mr. ANDERTON said that a few years ago, in crossing in
front of the Mansion-house, he was thrown down and had-
his neck nearly broken ; he went direct to the Justice-
room and complained to Mr. Cubitt (then Lord Mayor) and
he still suffered at times from theinjuries he then received.
Alderman JAMES LAWRENCE believed that the practice
of cabmen loitering in Cheapside and other main thorough-
fares in the city had been much checked by the fines which
had been imposed from time to time on offenders by the
magistrates, and by policemen having been specially em-
ployed to regulate the traffic in that respect. On the other
hand, the objections taken by citizens in particular locali-
ties where the magistrates had wished to establish cab-
stands had been so great that they had been obliged to
abandon the intention.

Mr. MCGEORGE suggested that the inconveniences com-
plained of might be still more lessened by the police regu-
lating the traffic in Cheapside in much the same manner as
they did on London-bridge.
The motion of Mr. Heath was then agreed to.

INGENIOUS CHAPEL ROBBERIES.—A man, who
may visit other counties, has within the last few
days been perpetrating a series of petty thefts in Dissent-
ing chapels in Essex. He applied for the keys of the Inde-
pendent chapel in Baddow-lane, Chelmsford, under tho
pretence that he came to inspect the gas meter, and they
being incautiously given to him it was afterwards found
that ho had carried off the Bible from the reading desk, and
broken open the place where the wine was kept, as well as
that where ho seams to have supposed the plate would be
found, but in the latter he was disappointed. He also
visited the Fi lends' meeting-house, but was baulked in his
object. On another day he was in Romford, and called on
the Rev. E. Sweet, pastor of the Independent chapel, with
the same pretence as to the gas, representing that he came
from the Central Gas Company, and wished to inspect the
motors. He thus obtained the keys both of the chapel and
schoolroom, and after remaining about half an hour re-
turned them to Mr. Sweet. On that gentleman going to
the chapel in the evening he found the poor boxes broken
open and the contents of them taken away. Several mis-
sionary boxes in the schoolroom were also emptied. The
same
person went to the Wesleyan Methodist and the
Baptist chapels, but the keepers accompanying him with
the keys he was defeated in his object. He is described as
five feet six or seven inches high, dark complexion, large
whiskers, rather stoutly built. He was dressed in 'a
dark
frock coat, dark trousers and vest, and black hat. Ho had
a pen behind his ear, an ink bottle attached to a ribbon on
his breast, and carried a book in one hand and a hammer
and a screw-driver in the other.
