REVELATION of QUACKS and QUACKERY.
By D ETECTOR.

For notices of this starting work see the "Saturday Re-
view" of April 1, entitled "Quacks and Quackery ;" the
"Weekly Dispatch" of April o, "The Quacks and their
Crimes ;" "The Sun" of April 12, " 'Detector's' Broadside
on Quacks and Quackery."
GUIDE TO THE QUACKS Or LONDON.
• A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in
the " Medical Cit cuter," with the signature of "Detector,"
has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. The
rea ier 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" contemporai ies, especially in the
country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub-
lish the information that a nominal list of these toicreants,
with copies of their pull's and other particulars concerning
them, n edfut to be known, will be found in the pamphi t
above referred to, which is entitled " Revelatt ns of Quacks
an i Quackery," ai.d is to be had at the "Medic a Circular "
Office, 20, King* William-street, Strand, W.O.
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 sully set forth in " Kevelations
of Quacks a'.d Qackery." And mark espec ally that, as
aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are purtlishe J. The
pamphlet id question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di-
rectory, by con •ulting which every young man may know
where he may go if he wit-hes to get plundered and dust royed.
Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy " evelations of
Quacks and• Quackery." its contents wilt astonish and amuse
you, will 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, it 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 "Revelations of Quacks
and Quackery,' by Detector.—Punch, April 12.

WESTMINSTER.

NOT A LEGAL RELATION.-Lilly Tarlton, a lady-like
looking person, was charged with being drunk and riotous
in the Vauxhall-bridge-road, and Mr. Cecil Tarlton, "gen-
tleman," with endeavouring to rescue her and assaulting
tho poline.

Police-constable 68 B said that, at 8 o'clock last night,
he was caned to the Windsor Castle tavern, Vauxhall-
bridge-road, where he found the female defendant very
drunk making a disturbance outside the house. The male
defendant, who was there, was also intoxicated. Witness
endeavoured to persuade them to go away, but they refused,
declaring that they should not until they liked. Witness
then took the female into custody, when the male defen-
dant came in front of him, used bad language, pushed him
back, and struck him a violent blow on the chest.
Mr. Selfe (to the female)—What have you to say to this ?
Female—l was in a fit.

Mr. SeHe (to the male)—And what have you to say ?
Male—l merely wanted to bring the lady home. I deny
the blow. I might have have pushed the constable.
Mr. Sells—l see you both give the same name, but
different addresses. Are you married or related ?
Female—l am married.
Gentleman—This is a lady friend of mine,
Mr. Selfe—No relation ?
Gentleman—Not a legal relation.
Mr. Selfe—l see.

Further evidence was then given in support of the
charge, in the course of which it was clearly sustained.
Mr. Selfe—The female defendant is fined ss. or 7 days,
the male defendant 40s. or 7 days.
The fines were immediately paid.

THE CURRAGH OF KILDARE.

Lord NAAS asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether
any steps had been, or were about to be, taken by the
Government for leasing the Curragh of Kildare to the War
Department, and whether it was intended to propose any
legislation on the subject during the present session.
Mr. F. PEEL said no bill was necessary to authorise the
granting the- rights away of the Crown over the Curragh ;
but inasmuch as the War Department might find it neces-
sary to erect buildings of considerable value during the
currency of any lease which might be granted to them, they,
had asked for rights to purchase, and a bill would be intro-
duced to give effect to their request. A lease would be
given by the Crown to the War Department of 21 years,
extending over the whole of the Curragh, but reserving
the rights of the commoners as well as those of the Irish
Turf Club. At present the office of Woods received from
the War Department a payment of £l7O a year, and they
paid besides a sum of £350 to the Ranger. It was now
proposed thal the Ranger should retire upon a pension, and
the office should remain in abeyance during the pendency
of the lease to the War Department.
Col. DUNNE asserted that the Crown had no right to
authorise any encroachments upon the Curragh. A more
atrocious invasion of public property had never been heard
of than that contemplated by the proposal just announced.
Formerly 30,000 speep, the property of the people of Ire-
land, grazed upon the Curragh. For his part, he would do
all he could to get up a subscription to oppose this atrocious
robbery on the part of the Crown, and to obtain the deci-
sion of the Court of Queen's Bench as to the legality of the
title of the Crown to this land.

Lord DUNKELLIN, said though he was not so anxious
as his hon friend to go to law about this matter, yethe was
very glad it had been brought under the notice of the
house. A worse state of affairs had been disclosed than he
had believed to have existed. The camp of the Curragh
was the greatest nuisance ever erected in any spot in the
world. It was a matter of notoriety that for years past the
title of the Government to the land had been a faulty one.
He hoped the authorities at the War-office would seriously
take the matter into consideration.

Col. FRENCH thought that sufficient had been said on
both sides of the house to show the Government the neces-
sity of having some inquiry held respecting the illegal
course they were pursuing.
Mr. A. SMITH said this was another instance of the
great inconvenience which had arisen since the passing of
the Act of 14 and 15 Vic., between public lands and Crown
lands. He only regretted that the noble lord had not
moved for a committee of inquiry.

EDINBURGH.

At a special meeting of the Chamber of Com-
merce of Edinburgh, held on Thursday evening, Mr.
JAS. RICHARDSON moved :

" That this Chamber have learnt with the deepest
grief and indignation of tie assassination of Presi-
dent Lincoln, and of the infamous attempt on the
life of Secretary Seward ; and desire to record their
admiration of the ability, integrity, and patriotism
of the late President, and their warmest sympathy
with the Government and people of the United
States under the severe affliction which has jairbe--
f alien them."
Mr. HARRISON seconded the resolution, which
was unanimously carried.
At the same meeting it was resolved to record the
regret of the Chamber at the death of Richard Cob-
den, and their sense of the great services he ha d
rendered to his country.

THE SIMULTANEOUS RIFLE MATCH.—The third
stage of this contest between riflemen in all parts of
Britain was finished last week, when the large number of
32 squads fired at 800,900, and 1,000 yards, 10 shots at each
range. The weather was fine, and the shooting was better
than has ever been known before, nearly all the best shots
in the country having entered. Forty-six men made at least
90 marks, an average of " centres," or, in other words, a
score which would be made if every shot fired at these long
ranges were to hit an object six feet square.

"That a committee be appointed to prepare for
presentation to Mr. Adams, the American Minister
in this country, an address from the corporation of
Blackburn, expressive of our views of the assassina-
tion of the late President Lincoln and the attempt
upon the life of Mr. Seward, and of the deep sym-

and the American people."
Alderman CUNNINGHAM seconded the motion,
which was unanimously agreed to.
A sub-committee was then appointed to draw up
the address at once, and the Mayor was requested
to present it personally to Mr. Adams,with a request
that he forward it in due course.

COMMANDERS AND MASTERS IN THE NAVY,

Sir L. PALK asked the Secretary to the Admiralty if
he would state what measures were to be taken by the
Lords of the Admiralty to relieve the complaints of infe-
riority of pay and rank of the Staff Commanders and
Masters of her Majesty's Navy.
Lord C. PAGET said that the position, rank, and pay
of the officers referred to were under the consideration of
the Board of Admiralty, and it was premature at the present
time to make any statement on the subject.

GRANITE FOR THE THAMES EMBANKMENT.

A report was brought up from the Thames Embankment
recommending that as a saving of only £16,000 would be
effected in the use of lime stone, that granite should be used
for facing the Southern Thames Embankment.
Another report was brought up from the Thames Embank-
ment Committee in reference to a proposition made to ex-
tend the Thames Embankment from Battersea-bridge to
Pimlico, stating that they were not prepared to recommend
the board to execute the work.
Mr. LAMING hoped, as this was a work of so much im-
portance in having a promenade all the way from Black-
friars-bridge to Battersea-bridge, that the matter would be
referred back to the committee.
Mr. TITS, M.P., also supported the reference back to the
committee, but the report was agreed to.

Grand-Duke-Heir Nicolas Alexandrowitch, died at
Nice on this 12th (24th) of the month of April,
after great suffering. The malady of his Imperial
Highness commenced last winter during his sojourn
in Italy, but the symptoms did not then give rise
to serious alarm for so precious a life, and seemed
gradually to give way to the treatment adopted
and to the influence of a southern climate, when
suddenly symptoms of imminent danger presented
themselves and made us accelerate our depar-
ture from Russia. In our deep grief we had the
consolation of beholding our beloved son before his
death. It much grieved us and all our family that
this fatal event should have occurred in a foreign
land, far from our country.
" Submitting without a murmur to Divine Pro-
vidence, we pray the Almighty Creator of the"
universe to give us the strength and the courage to
support the deep affliction with which it has pleased
Him to visit us.

" Firmly convinced that all our faithful subjects
will share our grief, and deriving consolation from
that conviction, we call upon them to join us fer-
vently in our prayers for the repose of the soul of
our beloved son, who has departed from this world
in the midst of all the hopes which we and all Russia
placed upon him.
" May the right hand of the Almighty be ex-
tended towards him in that better world where is
neither suffering nor affliction.
" Having lost our eldest son—our direct succes-
sor, the Czarewitch and Grand Duke Heir Nicolas
Alexandrowitch, who now reposes with God—we
proclaim, in strict conformity with the law of suc-
cession of the Throne, as our heir and as Czarewitch,
our second son, his Imperial Highness the Grand
Duke Alexander Alexandrowitch.

" Done in the city of Nice, the 12th day of the
month of April, in the year of grace 1865, and in
the 11th year of our reign.
(Signed) " ALEXANDER."

BOURSE, May s.—The market has continued to
maintain the firm position it assumed at the open-
ing of business yesterday, and the result has been a
general augmentation in the rates of most of the
principal Securities—Mpbilier participates in the
forward movement to the extent of 7fr. 50c., the
present quotation being 780 fr. Threes, for the Ac-
count, have been negotiated at 67fr. 45c., and Ita-
lian Fives at 65fr. 50c. There is, however, no
feature of improvement to notice in the Railway and
general Share Market. The favourable nature of
the transactions in the various markets has shown
no sign of relaxation, and quotations have continued
firm to the close, with a further slight advance in
some of the Securities.

COLONIAL ADMINISTRATION.

Lord STANLEY asked the Secretary of State for India
whether it was his intention to bring in a bill during the
present session for the transfer of Singapore, Malacca, and
Penang, from the Indian to the colonial administration ?
Sir C. WOOD said, as far as the Indian Government
were concerned, they were quite ready to meet the wishes
of the People of Singapore. He, however, had not yet re-
ceived the decision of the Colonial-office in the matter.

WORKHOUSES.
Mr. A- MILLS asked the President of the Poor-law
Board whether it was the intention of the Government
to adopt
the
thesuggestions contained in the evidence
given before
select committee on poor relief re-
specting the
employmentworkhouses
of trained and competent
• whether it was intended to carry
out the recommendatioquinine and other n
sive embodied in the report, that
expensive medicines should be provided
when required by the guardiansn
; and whether the articles
of the consolidated order nomi
por force respecting the volun-
tary visitation of the sick
presented any practical
obstacle to those who desired to visit the inmates of the
union workhouses.
Mr. VILLIERS said the evidence referredteen to was that
given by Miss Twining, but an inquir had
y
instituted
and he found the matter had been overstated, The poor-law
inspectors always urged on the guardians the employment
of competent persons as nurses, and he believed that
amongst the principal workhouses only eight had remained
without such assistance. In consequence of a commemen_
tion from Miss Nightingale, who stated that there were
plenty of persons of the description required if the
guardians wished to employ them, a circular
had been issued asking the guardians , to avail
themselves of such assistance, but he must in-
form the hon. gentleman that it was entirely in
their discretion whether they chose to do so or not.
With respect to the medicines supplied to the in-
mates of workhouses, a circular had also been
issued urging the guardians to make new
arrangements with their medical officers. As far as visiting
was concerned, there was nothing in the rules and regula-

tions of the Poor-law Board which present obstructions to
persons visiting workhouses. It could always have been
done, under certain condition; with the consent of the
master of the establishment.
CUPOLA SHIPS.

Mr. LAIRD asked the Secretary to the Admiralty
whether the ironclad ship Hercules, ordered to be laid
clown in her Majesty's dockyard, Chatham, was to be fitted
with two cupolas in addition to her broadside armament ;
and, if so, whether the cupolas would be constructed on
Capt. Cowper P. Colas's plan.
Lord C. PAGET said the question of arming the bow
and stern of her Majesty's ship Hercules was now under
consideration. Various modes had been suggested, and
were now under the notice of the Admiralty, and the
matter would not be decided until the report of a com-
mittee of naval officers, now sitting on the subject, had
been made.

THE EDMUNDS COMMITTEE REPORT.
The Earl of DERBY called the attention of the house to
a mistake which had appeared in the report, which had
been laid on their lordships' table last Tuesday. In the
report the Clerk had inserted two amendments which had
been consolidated into one and carried as a joint para-
graph in the report. It was a mere matter of
form, but he trusted that the irregularity would
be rectified before the report in its complete state
was laid before the house, considering the interest that
was attached to the proceedings of this committee.
As the report stood at present it would appear that
a minority on the committee objected to the amend-
ment acquitting the noble and learned lord on the
woolsack of improper motives. The minority thought that
the Lord Chancellor had been guilty of an error of judg-
ment, but both the majority and minority were agreed that
the noble lord should be free from all charge of improper
motives. He repeated his hope that the matter would be
set right before the report was again laid before the house.
Earl GRANVILLE said that he felt grateful to the
noble Earl for having brought this matter before their
lordships. lie had observed the mistake referred to,
but it was only that morning. The mistake was
one of those which naturally arose on the part of
the clerk, but from the tenour of the document it
was evident that the committee intended to relieve the
Lord Chancellor from any imputation of improper conduct
in reference to this matter. • Tho error alluded to would be
corrected in the full report that would be laid before their
lordships on Monday next. _

COVENTRY.

In compliance with a numerously-signed requisi-
tion, the Mayor (Mr. R. H. Minster) convened a
meeting of the citizens at St. Mary's Hall, Coventry,
on Thursday, for the purpose of passing a resolution
of sympathy with the American Government and
people under the great national calamity which has
just befallen them in the assassination of President
Lincoln. There was a large attendance of the clergy
and laity of the city.

The Rev. T. SHEEPSHANKS, rector of St. John's,
moved the following resolution :

" That the citizens of Coventry, in public meeting
assembled, do hereby wish to convey to the Ameri-
can people their grief and horror at the atrocious
and cowardly assassination of President Lincoln,
their single-minded, kind-hearted, and noble Presi-
dent; and their deepsympathy with the Government
under the loss of one whose firm, mild, and conci-
liatory character had won the respect and admira-
tion of both friends and enemies."

The resolution was seconded by. Mr. J. Pears,
J.P., supported by the Rev. E. H. Deli, Dissenting
minister, and carried unanimously.

HUDDERSFIELD.

At a general meeting of the Improvement Com-
missioners (the chief local representative bndy) held
on Wednesday, the Chairman (Mr. J. Turner) an-
ticipated the ordinary business by suggesting that
they should show their sympathy with the American
people on this melancholy occasion.
Although the commissioners had declined to take
any official notice of the death of Mr. Cobden, from
a belief that they best served the interests of the
town by confining them solely to the duties they
were especially appointed to fulfil, the Chairman's
suggestion was at once acted upon.
Mr. JOSHUA HOBSON moved :

" That the Huddersfield Improvement Commis-
sioners, in monthly meeting assembled, feel that
they cannot but give expression to their feelings of
horror and indignation at the atrocious acts by
which the United States of America have been sud-
denly deprived of their late President, and by which
the lives of Mr. Secretary Seward and his two sons
have been endangered ; and the Commissioners
would also show their deep sympathy with the
people of the United States and with the widow of
the late President Lincoln in the irreparable loss
which they have sustained by his death."
Mr. COCKING seconded the motion, which was
carried unanimously.
It was also resolved " That copies of the resolu-
tion be forwarded to Mr. Stephenson, the consular
agent at Huddersfield, for transmission to President
Johnson and Mr. Lincoln," which was seconded by
Mr. DENTON and carried.

jlllr. J. BANNERMAN seconded the resolution.

Mr. W. PICKSTONE sadhehappened to be present
in the United States when the assassination of the
President took place, having been on a six months'
t visit to the United States to study the people and
the country, and he could not allow this, the first
meeting he had attended since his arrival, to pass
by without expressing his concurrence in the pro-
ceedings. America would. be as deeply moved by
this expression of opinion, so general throughout
the country, as it had been moved by the death of
the President itself. America wished to be friendly
with England, and he (Mr. Pickstone) had said that
if the two countries went to war be would turn Turk
and deny his race. (Laughter.) But two days be-
fore his death Mr. Lincoln said to one of his Mi-
nisters, " Of all things I desire that Mr. Davis may
escape the boundary of the United States of Ame-
rica. Ido not desire that my hands may be imbrued
with blood." (Cheers. He wished to tell the meet-
ing that Mr. Johnson was not a drunkard. (Cheers
and cry of " Question 1 " at the back of the hall,
sameA
speedily drowned in renewed applause.) All he wished
to say
that England needed only to have the
confidence in Mr. Johnson now that it took
the
mericans four years to have in Mr. Lincoln,
and
then England would be just to the. United
States,
a es ,
which 24 hours after the assassination of
Mr. Lincoln believed in Mr. Johnson. (Applause.)
The resolution was enthusiastically carried, the
Mayor acknowledged the compliment, and the
meeting closed.

Manchester Chamber of Commerce, and the Sal-
ford Town Council have passed resolutions to a

THE LIVERPOOL CHAMBER OF

sination of the Hon. Abraham Lincoln, and the

WES TMINS TER.

NOT A LEGAL RELATION.-Lilly Tarlton, a lady-like
looking person, was charged with being drunk and riotous
in the Vauxhall-bridge-road, and Mr. Cecil Tarlton, " gen-
tleman,' with endeavouring to rescue her and assaulting
the police.

Police-constable 68 B said that, at 8 o'clock last night,
he was called to the Windsor Castle tavern, Vauxhall-
bridge-road, where he found the female defendant very
drunk making a disturbance outside the house. The male
defendant, who was there, was also intoxicated. Witness
endeavoured to persuade them to go away, but they refused,
declaring that they should not until they liked. Witness
then took the female into custody, when the male defen-
dant came in front of him, used bad language, pushed him
back, and struck him a violent blow on the chest.
Mr. Selfe (to the female)—What have you to say to this ?
Female—l was in a fit.

Mr. Selfe (to the male)—And what have you to say ?
Male—l merely wanted to bring the lady home. I deny
the blow. I might have have pushed the constable.
Mr. Selfe—l see you both give the same name, but
different addresses. Are you married or related ?
Female—l am married.
Gentleman—This is a lady friend of mine.
Mr. Selfe—No relation ?
Gentleman—Not a legal relation.
Mr. Selfe—l see.

Further evidence was then given in support of the
charge, in the course of which it was clearly sustained.

Mr. Selfe—The female defendant is fined ss. or 7 days,
the male defendant 40s. or 7 days.
The fines were immediately paid.

NORTH WILTS.

The retirement of Mr. Walter Long has brought
into the field two Conservative candidates for North
Wilts—Sir George Jenkinson and Mr. R. P. Long,
M.P. for Chippenham, son of the sitting member.
Sir George Jenkinson, in his address expresses him-
self as willing to " support any measure for the ex-
tension of the franchise—not the lowering of it, but
the extension of it in the direction of property and
education"—the principles which, he says, was em-
bodied in Mr. Disraeli's Reform Bill. He would
settle the church-rate question if it could be done
without the spoliation of the Church. It is doubt-
ful whether the Conservative party is strong enough
to return two members for the division.

Mr. R. P. Long on Thursday afternoon attended
a meeting of Conservatives at the Town-hall, De-
vizes. He said he had been brought up in a Church
and State school, and he attributed the large amount
of well-ordered liberty which prevails in the country
to our sound constitutional form of government.
He expressed himself as decidedly opposed to the
continuance of the malt-tax, and also to the pro-
posed system of union rating. If any change were
made, there ought to be a uniform system of rating
throughout the country.
