EVELATION of QUACKS and QUACKERY,
By D ETECTOR.
-1:1)

For notices of this startling work see the "Saturday Re-
view" of April 1, entitled "Quacks and Quackery ;" the
"Weekly D spatch" of April t, "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
realer of " Punch' should read this pamphlet also. He has
often read, in the pages of "Punch," of certain Quacks, frau-
dulent an J 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 advertisin; columns of low newspapers, amongst which
too many of Mr. Punch's" contemporaries, eepecially in the
country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub-
lish the info. illation that a nominal list of these miscreants,
with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning
them. n,ediut to be i.nown, will be found in the pamphl t
above referred to, which is entitled Revelati-ns of Quacks
ant Qaackery.'• it ed is to be had at the "Medic ti 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 infs.:lila they do, the ruin they work, even to
the catutution of suicide. are sully set for h in .` Revelations
of Quacks a.. 0 Qackery.- And mark espec'ally that. as
afor, said, the names of the Quacks a,e publishe I. The
pamphlet iu question thus constitu.es a regular Quack Di-
rectory. b; eou,ulting which eve, y young man may know
where he may go if lie wi..hes ta gei plundered and destroyed.
Buy, therefore, reader, by all means ttevelations of
Quacks and Quackery." Its con tents wilt astonish and amuse
y._9l, whit e they invoke you indignation and disgust. Of
course you ..o not want tt on account of its warnings for your
own rake, but you doubtless do for .bat of the many simple-
tons with whom you must b' acquainted, if your acquaint-
ance is large. " Who are toe Quacks that ' Punch' means ?"
Consider what it is to *ue able to answer ti,is question of the
young and inexperienc id, and, for charity's sake, if for no
other, go and provide yourself with "Revelations of Quacks
and Quackery," by Detector.—Punch, April 12.

Alarming Accident at the Thames

Embankment Works.

The staging recently built up by Mr. Furness on
the north-east side of Waterloo-bridge, between the
bridge and the steam-boat landing, for the purpose
of continuing the Thames Embankment works,
gave way yesterday morning, at about nine
clock, and seven men were thrown into the
water. They were, however, happily rescued. The
staging as
pitarsatolloeldogbreafionreabtohuet
4ofeet by 15, accidentalong-
side was in the
s
side of a smaller parallelogram 40 feet by 6, or
thereabouts, which latter still stands unbroken.
Planks lay upon the top from either end to a cross-
beam in the middle ; but these planks were unsup-
ported for a length of more than 20 feet. On the
planks were two " coffee-pot engines," small en-
gines with cranes, which the men had been working
during the morning to lift sand and concrete from
barges. They had just emptied one of the barges,
which put off with its four men in it, when the
staging, heaped up high with sand and concrete,
bearing one of the engines and a pile-driving ma-
chine, together with the workmen, their timber and
tools, was seen to waver and shake. The cross
piece, the only support to the planks, which had to
bear this great weight, snapped off on either side
close to the beams which supported it. Immediately
afterwards the planks fell with the workmen and
sand, one of the engines toppled over into a caisson
topsy-turvy, and rested there, blowing off the steam.
The Pile-driving machine fell towards Somerset-
house, and swung, broken and dangerous, on the
still standing framework of the staging. A. crowd
of workmen with their boats and ropes and hooks
came from the other parts of the works, and in a
very short time all the men in the water were rescued
alive. But for some time afterwards the foremen
were under the impression that one man, who went
by the name of " Clogs," was still missing, and the
dragsmen laboured for some time to find him. They
fished up an oil-can, a bag of nails, and a number
of other things that had fallen from the staging, but
found nothing else, and then it was said that all the
men were safe, and they discontinued dragging.
The men rescued were taken to Charing-cross
Hospital, where they were placed under the care of
Mr. E. Child, the house-surgeon. Their names
and injuries were as follow :—John Tanner, 30,
labourer, residing at No. 2, Noah's Ark-place,
Stangate, severe bruises ; Robert Gardner, 40,
labourer, No. 3, Sidway-place, Broadwall, Lam-
beth, a slight concussion ; John Westcott, 40,
labourer, 6, Broad-street, Cornwall-road, Lambeth,
scalp-wound ; and William Cook, 11, Hopkins-
street. The wound of Westcott was dressed by Mr.
Child, and he was sent home, but no injury could
be discovered on Cook, though he seemed to be
much shaken by the fall. He was likewise sent to
his home. The other two men are detained at the
hospital, but are not considered in danger.

STRANGE, IF TRUE.—It was currently rumoured
in Darlington on Friday (says the Darlington Times)
that a man, named Ralph Morrell, well-known amongst
the lowest class of the population of Darlington, had, while
labouring under a lit of insanity, made admission connect-
ing him criminally with the sudden disappearance of a
gentleman, named Richardson, about five years ago. Mr.
Richardson was on a visit to Darlington fair, about that
period, and was seen late at night in the Mill Entry, near
the river, but was not seen alive afterwards. At that time
much sensation was created by tho mysterious circum-
stances, it being pretty generally believed that foul play of
some kind had been used, so that the property the gentle-
man was thought to have in his possession at the time had
proved too strong a temptation for some unscrupulous
ruffians. Morrell, after being taken to the Darlington
Workhouse, has been removed thence to the lunatic asylum
at Sedgefield, where he at present remains. It is expected
lie will recover in a few days, and then it will be seen
whether the affair will assume a more serious aspect than
it now presents.
THE GALE AT WAKEFIELD. During Monday
neight and Tuesday morning a heavy storm of wind broke
over this town, and committed great damage to property.
In Westgate a handsome and commodious drill-shed and
armoury for the local rifle corps was in course of erection.
The woodwork for the roof had been fixed in its place,
and though it was of GO feet span, and therefore of great
strength, and bound together by strong bands of iron, it
and a great portion of the brickwork were blown down,
thus entailing a loss of some hundreds of pounds upon the
contractors. Other buildings in course of erection have
also been blown down, many trees in the neighbourhood
uprooted, and much damage done to business premises by
the storm.

The frigate-built Indiaman Renown, 1,293 tons
register, Commander J. 11. Taylor, R.N.R., one of
Messrs. Green's Blackwall fleet,- arrived at Spithead
yesterday morning from Calcutta. She sailed from
Calcutta on the 3d of February, called at Madras
on the 15th of the same month, and sailed thence
again on the 26th. She arrived at the Cape on the
11th of April, touched at St. Helena on the 22d,
and crossed the Equator on the 30th of April. Light
and baffling winds were experienced throughout the
passage until a week before the ship anchored at
Spithead. During this week she ran 1,800 miles.
The officers and troops brought home by the Re-
nown consist of Major Roberts, V.C., R.A., Major
Napper, 11.M.N.A., Capt. Coulson, Rifle Brigade,
Lieut. Douglas, R.A., Lieut. Lee, 38th Regiment,
300 time-expired men from various regiments
serving in India, six soldiers' wives, and four chil-
dren. The Rev. Mr. Woodington died on board
on the 3d of March ; three soldiers also died on the
passage. The Renown was towed into Portsmouth
harbour yesterday afternoon, and will disembark
her troops at the dockyard this morigng, imme-
diately after which she will sail for London, for
which port she has a general Indian cargo.
The East India ship Winchester, Commander G.
V. Gideon, arrived at Spithead yesterday afternoon,
with time-expired men and the left wing of the 48th
Regiment on board, from Calcutta, sailing from that
port on the 12th of February, and miring- at St.
Helena on the 20th of April. The troops on board
comprised the left wing of the 48th Regiment, Major
J. R. Lovett in command ; Capt. and Mrs. Drought,
Capt. and Mrs. Castle and two children, Lieuts.
Brown and Vandeleur, Assist.-Surg. Grant ; En-
signs Talbot, Ryland, Tyron, and M'Laughlin ; 14
sergeants, 10 corporals, 3 drummers, 223 privates,
9 soldiers' wives, and 4 children, with 91 time-
expired men, in charge of Captain Marshall, 19th
Regiment. The following were private passengers
—viz., Captain Boulger, 20th ; Captain Monteith,
38th ; Dr. and Mrs. Warr, Queen's Bays, &c. The
time-expired men will be disembarked this morning
from the ships at Spithead, immediately after which
she proceeds to Dover, where the left wing of the
49th land to join headquarters, the Winchester
going on thence to London to deliver a valuable
cargo of indigo. Major Lovett and the other mili-
tary officers on board, on the arrival of the ship at
Spithead, expressed in the warmest terms their
satisfaction at the accommodation that had been
afforded them and the troops under their command,
and the attention that had been paid to their wants
during the - voyage home by Commander G. V.
Gideon, his officers, and crew. Four soldiers and
two seamen died on the passage home.
The Charybdis, 21, Screw corvette, Capt. Tur-
nour, arrived from the Pacific, sailed yesterday
from Spithead for Sheerness, where she is ordered
to be dismantled and paid out of commission.
Since the Pembroke, 60, 1,758 tons, 200 horse
power, flagship of Commodore A. P. Ryder, Con-
troller-General of the Coastguard, has been taken
into dock at Sheerness, she has been surveyed by
the master shipwright and the chief engineer's staff,
and found to require some heavy repairs before she
is again fit for service. The whole of her guns, shot,
shell, and other War Department stores have been
unshipped and placed in stores at Chatham pending
orders from the Admiralty as to the ultimate in-
tentions with regard to her.
The screw corvette Miranda, 15, 250 horse power
(nominal), Capt. R. Jenkins, C. 8., is nearly dis-
mantled, and has been placed in the steam basin,
where she is returning her stores preparatory to be-
ing paid into the third division of the steam reserve
in the Medway on Saturday next. She has been in
commission four years and eight months, during
which she has been attached to the Australian squa-
dron. The Miranda will require a heavy outlay for
repairs before she is again placed in commission.
The following appointments and promotions have
been made at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Chas. R. T.
Russell to the Excellent, for service in the Royal
Sovereign ; Jas. Jones, promoted to engineer ; Geo.
G. Smith, promoted to first-class assist.-engineer ;
Win. C. S. Hyne, clerk to the Scout ; and James
Tulloch, clerk, to the Dauntless.
