PROSPECTUS.
This C
%A ompany is formed for the purpose of converting
ki,l--.00 Share of the t' ntal Bank Coration into
b.'"res 01 .C2O, sand toion of that
k with the Bank of Messrs. E. Landau and Co., of
earTymouet the amalgams
'elcandria, and for facilitating commercial, financial, and
and Monetary transactions between this country, the Continent,
Egypt.
xlve of the £2O Shares in this Company will be allotted
or
the Shareholders in the Continental Bank, in exchange
°l* each of their present £lOO Shares. The £2O Shares
auetted in exchange for Shares on which £25 has been
In e
will be credited with £5 paid up ; and those allotted
xchange for Shares on which £l5 only has been paid,
Th
Will be credited with £3 paid up.
Inatine arrasarrangements which have been made for amalga-
g and managing 'the business of the above establish-
%Mments are such as, aided by the high Egyptian connections
essrs. Landau, cannot fail to secure to this Company a
a extensive and profitable business.
.-Uhe establishment of Messrs. Landau and Co., at Alex-
lo ticirbt, in addition to its regular banking operations, has
:flg enjoyed an extensive connection with producers and
'P:niers of produce in Egypt. This business has always
Yielded most favourable results; and no better proof of this
can be given than the fact that the firm, during the whole
11l its existence, as well as the other banks lately established
Egypt, have experienced an absolute immunity from loss
.n their transactions of this class of bnsiness.
The daily increasing trade of Egypt with Europe, espe-
,elally with England, is also a sure guarantee for the en-
',Mood future success of this Company; the profits hitherto
realised by Messrs. Landau and Co. are alone sufficient to
Yield a largo return upon the capital proposed to be called
Sip; and the several partners of the Firm, in order to show
their confidence in the future success of the Company, have
taken a large number of Shares, and will continue in the
active management of the business at Alexandria.
The Bank has also secured the co-operation, as a Direc-
ttor, of Mr. Bravay, whose exertions will be especially. de-
hted to the extension of the Bank's relations with
Ve Egyptian Government, a class of transactions in which
he has hitherto engaged, with very successful results.
0:11.6 amalgamated establishments propose liquidating all
el!. present transactions up to the date of amalgamation.
The Articles of Association of this Company, and the
Agreement entered into for acquiring the business of
aesrs. Landau and Co., can be seen on application at the
'oleo of the Solicitors.

For notices of this • startl.ng work see the " Saturday Re-
view" of April 1, entitled "Quacks and Quackery ;` the
" Weekly D spatch" of April s', •"The Quacks and their
Crimes ;' " The Sun" of April

on Quacks and Quackery."
GUIDE TO TIIEQUACKS OF LONDON,
A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in
the" ,tedical Circular," with the signature of "Detector,"
has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet The
realer of " t'unch" 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 min. For their names, which "Punch" would not
advertise, he has refereed his readers to the lowercorner of
the advertisin.; columns of low newspapers, amongst which
too mat.), of Mr." Punch's" contemporat les, especially in the
country, may still be enumerated But now he begs to pub-
lish the information that a nominal list of these inifcreants,
with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning
them, n• edfut to be ',flown, will be found in the pamphl t
above referred to, which is entitled "Revelations of Quacks
an I Quackery," and is to be had at the " Medical Circular "
Office, 20, liing William-street, Strand, W.C.
The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel
rapacity, and the enormous gins of the obscene tribe of
Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to
the causation of suicide, are wily set forth in " Revelations
of Quacks ar'd Qackery." And mark especially that, as
aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are publishe 1. The
pamphlet lu question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di-
rectory, bl consulting which every young man may know
where he may go if he w6hes 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. 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 tne Quacks that 'Punch' means ?"
Consider what it is to he able to answer t''is 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.

black, and were on no previous occasion within the
memory of man attended by such multitudes of
earnest and sorrow-stricken people. Yesterday and
to-day the same deep and earnest feeling prevailed,
and even the news of the capture of Mobile and the
surrender of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston and his army
to Gen. Sherman, which at any other time would
have driven the people frantic with joy, fell upon
inattentive and preoccupied minds. Of what avail
were victories when he who had patiently organised
them was not alive to know of the triumph? Of what
use was Mobile when Abraham Lincoln lay in his
bloody shroud ? And who cared for Johnston and
his army when the greatest rebellion and the greatest
war in history had culminated. in the greatest crime
that had ever afflicted a people ?
At the first shock of the calamity there was an
uneasy, widespread, and, irrepressible doubt whether
the necessary installation of Vice-President Johnson
as successor to Mr. Lincoln was not an additional
drop of gall in the overflowing cup of the national
sorrow. But the impression gradually wore off.
Mr. Johnson was de jure and de facto the Presi-
dent. He had made an unseemly exhibition of
himself, it is true, before the Senate and the world
on the 4th of March ; but people argued that he
was never known to be a lover of strong drink ; that
he might have been in temporary ill health, and
been affected by a' slighter stimulant than under
ordinary circumstances would have left any per..
ceptible trace in his speech or manner, and that it
was harsh to visit any man with condign punishment
for so venial an offence as the taking of an extra
glass, more especially when the offence was not
habitual and was not likely to be repeated. There
was a talk for awhile that General Grant ought to
be proclaimed Dictator, but it scarcely outlived the
day of the national tragedy ; and all men—even
the bitterest opponents of Mr. Johnson—reconciled
themselves to the duty and necessity of quietly
accepting him as the constitutional chief magistrate
of the Republic, and of according to him in his diffi-
cult and delicate position the fullest confidence and
support.

General Warde, with a view of giving the troops
a greater extension of privilege from barracks, has
issued an order that in future the tattoo will beat off
at half-past nine, instead of nine, as heretofore, the
rolls to be called in barracks at ten, and lights to
be extinguished at half-past ten.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

Mr. Brown, a junior clerk in the Royal William
Victualling-yard, was drowned near the eastern
entrance to Plymouth Sound on Friday afternoon,
during a sudden squall. The deceased and Mr.
Gibson had hired a boat of a waterman, who was
in it with them. After she upset the three kept
themselves afloat by holding fast to the oars and loose
spars for three-quarters of an hour, until assistance
arrived, when it was found that Mr. Brown was dead.
The following appointments were made on Satur-
day at the Admiralty :—Cyril W. Newall, naval
cadet, to the Caledonia ; William C. E. Baker,
second master, additional, to the Narcissus ; Joseph
F. Atkinson, master's-assist., to the Sphinx ; Allen
C. Denness, Chas. Webb, and Reginald F. Yonge,
master's-assists., to the Terrible.

Admiral Yelverton, C. 8., will probably hoist his
flag on board the iron cased ship Caledonia, 31,
Capt. the Hon. F. A. C. Foley, at Devonport, in
about three weeks. Shortly afterwards the vessel
will sail for the Mediterranean to complete the
Admiral's three years on that station. He joined
the. Revenge April 24, 1864. The fittings of the
Revenge will, it is understood, be turned over to the
Caledonia. The crew of the Revenge, 600 men,
who received wages to the extent of £lO,OOO, were
paid off on Wednesday in about an hour and a half.
Excepting the foulness of her bottom, which can be
soon rectified, she is in good condition, and will pro-
bably take the place of the Blenheim, 60, at Pem-
broke. It is ramoured that after completing her
time in the Mediterranean the Caledonia will be
flagship in the British Channel.

Her Majesty's paddlewheel frigate ' the Terrible,
21 guns, 1,850 tons, 800-horse power, having under-
gone extensive repairs both to the hull and ma-
chinery, and been fitted for the first division of the
steam reserve at Sheerness was, in accordance with
orders received from the Admiralty, placed in com-
mission on Friday last by the master in charge,
Frederick Townsend, for Capt. Gerard J. Napier.
The terrible is to be employed on the home station,
and is ordered, in consort with the Sphynx, 6,
paddlewheel sloop 1,061 tons, 500-horse power, to
accompany the Great Eastern while laying the At-
lantic telegraph from the coast of Ireland to the
coast of Newfoundland. The following officers have
been appointed to and have joined the Terrible :
Capt. Gerard J. Napier, Lieuts. S. R. Streatfield, H.
A. Arundell, and F. J. Elliott ; Master F. Town-
send, Surgeon W. Fasken, Paymaster Thomas T.
Wise, Chief Engineer Joseph Rollinson, Assistant-
Paymastei German F. Mathew ; Midshipmen E.
Battersby, A. W. Massy, A. E. Bancroft, and C.
C. Wood ; and Assist.-Clerk John P. Braille.

The shipment of the Atlantic telegraphic cable on
board the Great Eastern at Sheerness is being con-
ducted with the greatest despatch by the manufac-
turers, the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance
Company (limited) (late Messrs. Glass, Elliott, and
Co.), and it is thought that the work will befinished
and the vessel in every respect ready to leave Sheer-
ness next month.

THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA,

(From the Times' CorresAndent.)
NEW YORK, April 18.

The little that is known of Mr. Johnson as a
politican and statesman is not, it must be con-
fessed, reassuring. Unlike Mr. Lincoln, who was
shrewd, sagacious, patient, and merciful, -Mr. John-
son, if he may be judged by his speeches prior and
subsequent to the war, and during his recent admi-
nistration of the affairs of Tennessee, of which he
was appointed the military Governor by the late
President, is violent and unforgiving. With the pro-
verbial zeal of converts, he, who was once an ardent
supporter of the Southern idea of State rights, is
now the inveterate, it might almostbe said, the rabid
enemy of them. He is also a sturdy, if not obstinate
friend of the Monroe doctrine, and as such not to be
so safely intrusted as Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Seward
with the irritating question of the French in Mexico,
and the establishment of a monarchy on the North
American continent. But in his case, as in many
others, the weighty responsibilities of high position
may help to modify and cool down the prejudices
that were comparatively harmless in the unofficial
politician, but cease to be harmless in the Chief of
the State. Mr. Johnson has a great opportunity.
The rebellion is visibly moribund—and not likely to
be revived, unless a truculent and remorseless sys-
tem of terrorism and vengeance be employed against
the landed proprietors and most eminent men of
the South. The path of Mr. Lincoln was in this re-
spect the path of safety. He never uttered a vin-
dictive word, never penned a vindictive sentence,
against the Southern people, or any of their leaders
civil or military. President Johnson should note
the fact, and profit by it. And it is in this respect
satisfactory to observe that the savage feeling ex-
pressed against the South as soon as the news of the
murder of the President was received has greatly
abated during the four days which have elapsed
since its perpetration, and that there is a more ge-
neral, though not yet universal, disposition to en-
courage the hope that perhaps the awful crime was
the act of insane or semi-insane individuals—and
had no countenance or privity from any Southern
statesman or official. It was certainly not to the
interest of the South that so dartardly a blow should
be struck ; and if the assassin or assassins should by
any chance succeed in reaching the Southern lines,
and be by the Southern people delivered up to the
justice of the North, it would be a consummation at
which every friend of the South, as well as every
well-wisher to the American Union, would most
heartily and unfeignedly rtjoice.
Up to the time at which I write all efforts to arrest
the man Wilkes Booth, who was certainly the as-
sassin of the President, unless the clearest seeming
evidence of his identity be fallacious, have been in.
vain. There was at one time an idea that he and
, he alone committed the murder of the President, and
the still more hideous attack--if anything more
hideous than the assassination of Mr. Lincoln be
possible—upon Mr. Seward, his son, and attendants;
but it now appears that this could not have been the
case. It is supposed that certainly two, and pro-
bably five or six people, were engaged in a conspiracy
to simultaneously murder Mr. Lincoln, Mr. John-
son, Mr. Seward, Mr. Stanton, Mr. Welles, and
General Grant ; and that their schemes were frus-
trated by accidental and unforeseen circumstances.
Upon this subject all manner of contradictory ru-
mours, not worth repeating, are afloat. Had Mr.
Johnson as well as Mr. Lincoln met his death at
the hands of the conspirators the country might
have been convulsed with anarchy in addition to
grief, and the Government thrown open to the
seizure of any bold soldier who might have been
tempted by the prize. In case of the death both of
President and Vice-President the election of succes-
sors to these officers devolves upon Congress, and
not upon the people ; and had such an election been
made amid the passions which the double murder
would have provoked, there is no knowing to what
deplorable lengths the public exasperations might
have been carried before Congress could have agreed
upon the candidates, and much reason to believe that
under, such circumstances all eyes would have been
turned towards Grant and Sherman as the only
possible saviours of the country.

A few minutes after midnight, on Friday, the
14th of April, the telegraphic wires announced to
the people of America that the genial, kind-hearted,
1 honest Abraham Lincoln, President of the United
States, had been murdered in the theatre, and that
his Secretary of State, Mr. W. 11. Seward, an old
man, in his 66th year, lying on the bed of sickness,
if not of death, had been fatally stabbed by the
same or some other assassin. The few people who
were stirring at the hotels and other places of public
resort refused to believe the intelligence. The story
was so improbable and so horrible that it was hard
for any one to give it credence. Hundreds who
heard of it went quietly to bed with the firm con-
viction that the morning papers would dispose of it
as a fabrication as incomprehensible as it was atro-
cious. But in the newspaper offices on that melan-
choly night there were no doubts. The news was
official, under the hand of the Secretary of War,
and was corroborated by half-hourly and still more
frequent telegrams from Washington from the re-
porters and correspondents of the various journals.
The papers were all issued at too early an hour to
convey the positive news of the President's death,
but the details they furnished of the cruel catas-
trophe were too minute and exact to leave any room
for hope that he could by any possibility survive.
Before 9 in the morning it was known all over New
York and other cities of the North that his spirit had
fled, and that after the infliction of the fatal wound
he had never spoken a word or opened his eyes, or
given a sign of consciousness or even of life, except
in the failing throbs of the heart, and the heavy
breathing of a strong man wrestling with death.
The people were stupefied with the horror of the
announcement ; but in the course of a few minutes,
as neighbour spoke with neighbour, and stranger
with stranger at street corners and places of public
resort, the stupor was succeeded by a stern, fierce,
vindictive resolve to avenge the deed, not only
upon the assassins and their accomplices, whoever
they might be, but on the whole people of the
South, in whose interest it was supposed the crime
had been consummated. Ever since the surrender
of Gen. Lee the thoughts of all, except a very few,
had been turned towards peace and reconciliation,
and the President had been urged, and if he had
lived would doubtless have needed no prompting, to
pursue a policy so congenial to his nature, to offer
complete and generous amnesty to the whole South,
from Mr. Jefferson Davis down to the last recruit
in the Confederate army. But on Saturday morn-
ing no such feeling remained. People walked about
with knitted brows and clinched hands as if each
man felt an impulse to avenge by his own act the
crime which had brought dishonour on the nation,
and which might imperil the public safety by new
and unforeseen complications. There was an almost
universal inclination to attribute the murder to the
plots of Southern emissaries—to the scoundrels who
made raids from Canada upon Federal towns and
villages, and who undertook to burn down the city.
of New York, and but little or any desire to believe
that no political party had employed or instigated
the murderers. The craving for vengeance fierce
and unreasoning was everywhere manifested. By
one accord, and without any concerted action, the
people closed their shops and places of business, and
by noon the long line of Broadway was hung with
festoons of mourning, from almost every house, for
a distance of three miles. In the side streets and
minor thoroughfares, all over the city, the popular
grief was exhibited in the sain
plain, unpretending AbrahamLineconianner ; and if
Lincoln had been the
imperial representative and heir of all the Empe-
rors and Kings that had ruled the world for a thou-
sand years, and had been as conspicuous for his
illustrious birth
and unquestionable power as for
his virtue and goodness, his cruel and untimely
death could not have Lbcen mourned with more
spontaneous and deep-rooted affection. The ma-
nagers of the theatres announced that there would
be
en
o performances that night, nor until after the
funeral. Wall-street suspended its traffic, and the
brokers, merchants, gold speculators, bankers, and
all the selfish multitude that haunt its busy purlieus
gathered before the Custom-house to hear or to
make speeches. One person who was silly or brutal
enough to express satisfaction at the President's
death narrowly escaped with his life from the blows
of the bystanders, and had he not run for the first
open door, and successfully closed it upon himself,
and been barricaded in by the occupants, he would
have beentorn in pieces by his pursuers. The speeches
made were creditable to the hearts of the orators and
to the American people, and. if they were at times a

The Salamis, 2, paddle despatch vessel, Com-
mander Francis G. Suttie, sailed from Portsmouth
on Saturday for Alderney, with Capt. A. Clarke,
R.E., on board, the Admiralty Director of Engineer-
ing and Architectural Works. Capt. Clarke's mis-
sion to Alderney is to inspect and report upon the
present condition of the harbour, breakwater, pier,
&c., upon which such large sums of the public money
have been spent,:and which is asserted to be so faulty
in design that every recurring gale inflicts irrepar-
able injury upon it, sweeps away part of it, and de-
posits the materials beyond all recovery over the
numerous beds of rock that fringe the island.

with supernumeraries and stores, &c., and went into

The Waterwitch, ironcased hydraulic gunvessel,
now building under contract for the Admiralty in a
private shipbuilding yard, had her selected 4i-inch
armour-plate tested at Portsmouth on Saturday.
The plate was from the firm of John Brown and Co.,
Atlas Works, Sheffield, and proved under trial ex-
cellent in metal and manufacture. The Waterwitch
is a vessel designed for propulsion on hydraulic
principles, from which no speed worth speaking of
in relation to cost of production or the rate of other
vessels propelled by either double or single screws
can ever be gained.
