REVELATION of QUACKS and QUACKERY.
By DETECTOR. .
For notices of this startling work see the "Saturday Re-
view" of April 1, 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 " Medical Circular," with the signature of "Detector,"
has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. The
reader 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 molly 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 pamphi. t
above referred to, which is entitled " Revelations of Quacks
ani Quackery," and is to be had at the "Medical Circular"

Established 1824.
The Eighth Bonus will be declared in January, 1857, and
all With-Profit Policies in force on the 30th June, 1866, will
participate. Assurances effected before June 30th, 1865, will

The vile pr-actices, 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 tully set forth in " Revelations
of Quacks and Qackery." And mark espec,ally that, as
aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are publishel. 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
y,u, 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 pm 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 t'ds question of the
young and inexperienced, and, for charity's sake, if for no
other, go and provid,i yourself with "Revelations of Quacks
ana Quackery," by Detector.—Punch, April 12.

natives with whom, for five-and-twenty years, the
settlers have lived in harmony and confidence.
Since they defeated, at Montoa, the fanatic rebels
who sought to make a descent on the town and
settled district of Wanganui in May last, they have
been regarded as a sort of militia, provisioned at the
expense of the Government and paid for the labour
expended in strengthening their pas. Pehi, the
leader of the fanatic rebels in that neighbourhood, is
a chief of distinction, but has played fast and loose
so long that the loyal up-river natives have, on se-
veral occasions, only been restrained from attacking
him by the strict injunction of the magistrate to
avoid all aggressive action. Lately he appears to
have been so profuse in his challenges and taunts
that loyal native blood could stand them no longer,
however much that of her Majesty's pakeha subjects
could regard them with indifference. Under a flag
of truce a message was sent to Pehi's pah at Ohou-
tahi, demanding the abandonment of Pai Mariri and
submission to the Queen. The demand met with a
contemptuous negative, and both parties prepared
accordingly. Pehi's party attempted a surprise, and
four of them were taken, but so desirous were the
loyals to prevent bloodshed, that after a remon-
strance they were set at liberty again. An advanced
position was then taken up by the loyals, the main
body being at Jerusalem, and the skirmishing re-
-sulted in a few casualties, one of which was the
wounding of an intelligent and attached friendly
chief, named Johnin}Hams, who shortly after died
in the town hospital. On the 24th of February the
decisive battle took place, and as the despatch is
from a General not to be found in the Army List,
and may not appear in the London Gazette, it is
quoted entire :

"To MAJOR DuREE, TO Mn. WATT,:TO ,MR. WATERS,
AND TO ALL THE EUROPEAN GENTLEMEN.

" Iruharama, Feb. 25, 1865.
" On the 24th of this month General Mete Kingi gave
orders to the (Maori) soldiers to commence the fight, and
the chief Kawana, Paipai, Katene Kuihi, Aperaniko, Toma,
and Pama got up and consented to give battle ; these wore
the chiefs that assaulted two pahs and took them, killing
three—viz., Heremia, Heta, and another, name unknown ;
the chief that was slain was Te Tawhero, son of Topine
To Mamaku.

" The 400 all then arose to do battle in the space of one
hour, and the enemy fled into the bush, the survivors re-
maining in the large pah, which we surrounded. Pehi's
wife came out with a white flag, and the firing of the
(Maori) soldiers was ordered to cease, when they made
over to us—namely, Pehi, Topia, Tahana. Do you write
to the General and convey this intelligence to Col. Logan.
" From your friend from
" HONI KING; " ILumose,
" METI KING; " TOMA.
" APERANIKO.
" A true translation.—Richard W. Woon, Government
Interpreter, &c.—Wanganui."

It would be a pity to spoil the simplicity, modesty,
, and brevity of this unique despatch. It contains no
list of names deserving of honourable mention to
her Majesty for the part they took on the occasion,
an omission which, it is to be hoped, others more
accustomed to that character of despatch writing
will be found ready to supply. Fifteen of the rebels
were killed, and it was at first supposed that there
were 80 taken prisoners. General Mete Kingi saved
us, however, all chance of another imbroglio such
as that which occurred in the north. The same
feeling of chivalry which induced him to plead
with Dr. Featherston for the release of the pri-
soners taken at Montoa, although ovens had been
built to cook himself and followers had they been
vanquished, led him to resolve in this instance to
avoid inflicting the degradation of captivity, and
on Pehi and his people agreeing to give up their
arms and swear allegiance they were treated as
having capitulated on those terms, and allowed to
remain without further molestation. These loyal
natives were anxious last May to sweep the coast
as far as Taranaki, but it was not allowed because
'of its interference with the General's plans, and they
are again anxious to do so, naively proposing that
the duties of the troops should be confined to guard-
ing the town. The effect of this victory cannot be
overrated. It sets the minds of the settlers in the
rear of the river at rest, as it is by no means likely
that any second attempt will be made to force it yet
awhile. John Williams was buried on the 27th of
February with military honours. On the 3d of
March the ceremony of delivering up the captured
guns to the Hon. Mr. Mantell, the Native Minister,
took place ; and, on the day following, the presen-
tation of a colour to the victors was attended with
much parade, Mrs. Colonel Logan reading the fol-
lowing address :
" Chiefs and Men of Wanganui,—When the Queen's
soldiers have behaved with great bravery she presents them
with colours as a sign of her approbation, and also that in
future battles they may feel that she is present with thsm,
when they look upon her flag. When the brave chiefs and
men of Wanganui fought at Montoa to save the lives of
European women and children from the hands of fanatics
who were maddened by the teaching of a false prophet, we,
the ladies of Wanganui, Rangitikei, and Manawatu, deter-
mined to give them this flag as a proof of our admiration of
their noble conduct in our cause, also in memory of those
who were killed in that battle. Since then they have fought
again for us at Ohoutahi, and a brave chief has fallen, over
whose body wewere proud to see our flag wave for the first
time ; and wo believe that, coming from its grave, it will
be to you, Maori chiefs, doubly sacred ; and you will hand
down to your children's children the flag of our Queen,
which was laid over the body of John Williams.—God save
the Queen 1"

THE WAR IN NEW ZEALAND.

(Front the Times' Correspondent.)

WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND, March 14.

The news by this mail is almost entirely concen-
trated in the Wanganili-Taranaki campaign, which,
so far as the forces under General Cameron are con-
cerned, has dragged its slow length along without
anything very startling to record. Determined not
to attack the natives in the Wareroa, pah, on the
banks of the Waitotara river, the General made a
stealthy night march on the sth of February, and,
of course, crossed it without opposition ; the natives
never dreaming that so large a force of men, whose
sole business was to fight, would decline their chal-
lenge. On the 16th of the same month the troops
made another night march, avoiding the inland
route as far as possible, and after toiling along the
soft sand on the sea coast arrived at Patea at nine
o'clock a.m. without seeing or hearing a native,
friendly or rebel. This night march to Patea, a
distance of 15 or 16 miles, is all there is to show for
the past month. Occasionally, a few natives are
seen, but they are in such small parties as only to
be able to fire a few defiant shots when safely out of
the range of our rifles. The Wareroa pah is still
occupied, and the fact that it is so is a constant
source of anxiety to the few posts along the line,
keeping the troops perpetually on the alert, and
necessitating the employment of strong escorts.
What to do next the General does not know. To
return to Wanganui would be to neutralise any
good that may have been done, and his caution
prevents his going on. On the 3d inst. the Gover-
nor paid a flying visit to the General quarters,
landing from the Esk in one of the Commissariat
tenders. Notwithstanding that reinforcements of
600 to 700 men have arrived from the north, it is
understood that the General considers the 4,000
men immediately under his orders insufficient for
the prosecution of the campaign, and has therefore
urged his Excellency to apply for 2,000 addi-
tional troops from England. Colonel Warre's
intended movement from Taranaki (with a
view to meeting the General at Patea) has been
countermanded, and his force diminished, and at
present the whole campaign is hung up, the General
either waiting for the weather, for further reinforce-
ments, or for something; else that few know but him-
self. A corps of bushrangers and some cavalry are
being organized from among the settlers in Wan-
ganui and Taranaki for service at Patea, most of the
militia being still posted in redoubts far away from
their homes and avocations. The Governor, acting
on the advice of his Ministers no less than on his
own conviction, is reported to have peremptorily re-
fused to apply for the reinforcements requested, and
to have urged the General to accelerate his move-
ments and open up a chain of communication as far
as Taranaki without further delay. In two months
more the Assembly will be called together, and the
Governor is no less anxious than his Ministers to be
able to meet that body with a little better grace
than present circumstances seem to warrant, as
otherwise the colony will be so sick and tired of the
whole affair that the daily growing conviction that
a small force over whom the colony has control is
infinitely preferable to the large, costly, and inde-
pendent force acting under Imperial instructions
will assume a prominent shape. I feel exceedingly
loath to pursue this subject. General Cameron has
an European reputation, but, however fitted for the
style of warfare to which his long lifetime has been
devoted, the stern logic of experience proves that he
is not the man for such warfare as he is now en-
gaged in. His advanced age, if it does not dull the
power to conceive, prevents him from adopting
movements that require the energy of a younger
frame personally to carry out, and if this wretched
war is ever to be thoroughly crushed, if the British
power
so wner w is speedily
eeclhalyto regain its prestige, the task of
to be intrusted to other guidance.
While the British force is inactive, and exhibiting
to the rebels a position that fills them alike with
wonder and contempt, our native allies have again
signalized themselves. 1 have on a previous occa-
sion expressed the fear lest the fanatic rebels should
turn their attention to the settled districts. The
Wanganui River has been and still is the great bar-
rier preventing it. For 70 miles beyond the town-
ship it has been long guarded by loyal natives,—by

Sir George Grey, being fortunately in Wellington,
went up to Wanganui on the sth inst., and on send-
ing up the river for Pehi, that chief came and deli-
vered Maori tokens of submission, having in the
meantime given practical proof of his present sin-
cerity by turning back a contingent from Taupo
sent to his assistance.

This is not the only act for which we are indebted
to the friendly natives, those near Tauranga having
captured a party of about 30 fanatics. Nothing of
any moment has occurred in the neighbourhood of
Waikato, but the telegram of Thompson's submis
sion, to which I so guardedly alluded last month,
turns out to be premature. In consequence of the
absolute quiet northwards the Governor has visited
Wellington, where his ministry have been waiting
for several weeks. His Excellency is at present in
Wanganui, but after returning to Auckland for two
or three weeks to set going the machinery for inves-
tigating the titles of friendly natives to portions of
the confiscated blocks in Waikato, he intends re-
turning to Wellington to take up his permanent
official abode. I am happy to say that the most
perfect understanding prevails between the Gover-
nor and his ministry on all points.
And here I may very briefly allude to a rumour
which is said to have been current in London when
the last (December) mail left—that General
Cameron was to be appointed Governor Grey's suc-
cessor. The colony would be very glad to see a
change of governors, and it seems to be admitted on
all hands that Governor Grey's work here is done ;
but the change to General Cameron would be a
change for the worse. If the experience of a
colonist who has lived under every governor New
Zealand has had is of any worth, it is decidedly
opposed to making either a naval or military com-
mander our governor at this crisis. Neither the
quarterdeck nor the camp is a fit school for
governors who are required to combine the dele-
gated authority of the Imperial Government with
the desire to work responsible institutions. A
rough-and-ready commander is wanted for the field,
but a civilian of honourable tact is wanted for the
Niceregral representative. Sir Harry Smith's boot-
kissing and tearing of treaties are not the model to
be copied in reference to conquered rebels in New
Zealand, but it would be the model which a Governor
of the quarter-deck rough-and-ready school would
be most likely to adopt.

I regret to state that the attempts which have
been made in Australia and New Zealand to raise
money by Exchequer-bills has so far proved a
failure, the amounts tendered for at par being small,
notwithstanding that the interest is 8 per cent.,
capitalists pleading, as their reason for having so
little to do with these securities, the prolongation of
hostilities which the slow movements of the General
lead them to anticipate. The finances of the colony

must be a source of special anxiety to the Ministry,
although it has the advantage of a most able finan-
cier in Mr. Fitzherbert,. the Colonial .Treasurer.
Happily, however, the cordiality with which the
Governor works with his advisers in some measure
lessons the difficulty. The expenditure resulting
from the late operations in the Waikato and its
neighbourhood is still enormous, and must continue
to be so for at least several months to come, in conse-
quence of the provision that has to be made for the
large liabilities which the occupation of that district
and Taranaki involves. The introduction into the
Auckland province of about 3,000 non-combatant
immigrants, who have to be provided with. rations
and partial work for 12 months, and the pay of
about 3,000 military settlers there and at Taranaki
for a similar period; involve a monthly outlay of
about £60,000. Every effort is being made to cut
down the expenditure on these heads, but the good
faith of the Government is so far pledged to an ex-
penditure to this extent that there is no reducing
it by a mere stroke of the pen. The previous
Ministry looked to the recouping of the whole
amount by selling to Australian and local capitalists
the confiscated territory, but the present Ministry
cannot see their way to such, a course at present ;
for although the land described as conquered by the
General has been confiscated, and that only, yet the
sale of any portion over which friendly claims exist,
or are alleged to exist, would so complicate. matters
-that financial difficulties are borne with to the
utmost rather than pursue a course which they con=
eider so ppen to serious Objection. To add to the
embarrassment instructions are understood to have
been received from home to charge the rationing of
the military settlers on the colony, as well as the
pay and rationing of the militia, bushranging corps,
cavalry, &c., raised for the service of the General
in any campaign. The colony is willing that these
charges shall be carried to account, but the HOrae
Government insist on their being settled month by
month. This the colony cannot do while its loans
are incapable of being floated, and the Governor
(impressed with- the knowledge of the sacrifices the
colony is making
_under -very great
_difficulties) has
taken upon himself the responsibility of temporarily
supplying the ' actual outlay on: these 'rationing and
militia objects cut of the commissariat chest ; the
colony, meanwhile, remittirig_io the Imperial Go-
vernment half a million of its 4 per cent. deben-
tures to clear off the debt already long due for
sundry advances • and charges- in former years.
There is one way by which the 'colony might grope
its way out of its financial darkness without being
utterly crushed, and I cannot help thinking; from '
the struggles which the colony has made and is
making, honourably to bear its burdens. (although
imposed as the result of the native policy pursued
by successive Governors under Imperial instruc-
tions), the House of tommons,might be induced to
guarantee the debentures still unnegotiated. The
Parliamentary guarantee of 1864 on one million has
not been acted on, mainly because it required that
the waste lands should be pledged in security—a
security which years ago was handed over to the
various pioVinces for their local wants, and already
pledged on behalf of the various loans raised by
several of the. Provincial Governments. If the
Parliamentary guarantee of last year could be mo-
dified and extended to the debentures on hand, say
a million -and a half, it would not merely save the
colony a large annual item by the reduction of in-
terest, but it would provide the colony with the
means of breathing freely without practically in-
curring a shilling of expense to the Home Govern-
ment ; and while the effects of this guarantee would
materially tend to place the eolonists in a position
to maintain the :efficient defence necessarily required
to keep the peace after so many years of war, it
would help to liberate the British taxpayer from an
expenditure for troops, say, in round numbers, of a
million annually. The necessity for making such an
appeal to the generosity of the British Parliament
is taking hold of our leading statesmen, and I think
it probable that it may before long assume a definite
shape. The growing dispcsition that prevails to
liberate the Imperial troops, over whom the Colonial
Government have no control, and to depend entirely
on a few locally-raised regiments the movements of
which they can direct—the depreciation of our se-
curities in every money-market owing to the little
faith that is placed in the ability of the commander
to bring the war to a speedy close, and the manifest
desire which the Colonial Government evinces to
keep faith with the Home Government, and to avoid
further complications by a hurried recouping of the
confiscated estates at their disposal, exhibit the colony
as worthy of being helped by the parent State,
which is, to a large extent at any rate, responsible
for the native policy which has brought it into its
present position.
Some extensive goldfields have been discovered in
that portion of the Canterbury province which is
on the west coast. A great rush has set in thither,
hut it is too early to speak positively of its con-
tinued richness.

Alleged 111-Treatment of Paupers at
St. Pancras Workhouse.

POOR-LAW INQUIRY.
Yesterday morning, at eleven o!clock, Mr. Fenian, metro-
politan poor-law inspector, opened an inquiry as to certain
allegations which had been made by a pauper named
George Grant, in a letter addressed by him to tho sitting
magistrate at Clerkenwell Police-court, in which be charged
the authorities of St. Pancras with having incarcerated him
in the separation ward for several weeks to the great detri-
ment of his health.

A special board of directors of the poor had been sum-
moned to meet at the Vestry-hall, in which the inquiry
took place, Mr. Churohwarden Robson in the chair, and
which was very fully attended. Mr. IV. D. Cooper, solicitor
to the parish, and Mr. Plaw, clerk to the board, were also
present.

- Mr. Farnall, having taken his seat by the side of the
chairman, said he was instructed by the Poor-Law Board
to make this inquiry, in consequence of their having re-
ceived a letter from Mr. D'Eyncourt, the sitting magistrate
at Clerkenwell Police-court, and he was most anxious to
have the assistance of the board in this inquiry.
George Grant, who had made the complaint, as also an
inmate named Henry James, who had written a similar
letter to the Poor-Law Board, were both present, and, hav-
ing been sworn, had their letters read over to them
by the inspector. The charge was that, between the 29th
March and the Ist May, the date of the letters, they had
been incarcerated in the separation ward, and that for 33
consecutive days Grant had not been allowed to approach
within some distance of the door of his place of confine-
ment. Being but a few yards from the dead-house, they
described the stench as frightful, and they had also to suffer
from the stench of a closet and urinal, &c.l
Mr. Morrison, master of St. Pancras workhouse, was first
examined, and said—l have been four years master of the
workhouse. I have heard the letters read over which have
been written by James and Grant. They have alwaysbeen
in the workhouse, or nearly so, since I have been there—
Grant continually. Grant had lost his right hand by some
machinery before I came there. Had never had to confine
Grant for any misconduct. James's conduct in the house
had been unexceptionable. He has short sight and weak
eyes. I recollect receiving an order of the board directing
that the inmates Grey, Grant, and James should be only
employed in the separation ward. That was dated 28th
March last. I carried that order out as soon as I could, and
they were placed in the separation ward. I understand the
separation ward to be the refractory ward, where refrac-
toryofthe men may be kept in separation from the rest I
workhouse. I had not reported these men as refractory.

inasmuch as he was in company with Grant when this
alleged robbery took place. More than six weeks previously
it became known that an inmate named Samuel Chosold
was in possession of some £5 or £6 of money, and Grant
undertook to take care of it, and on he and James going
out ono Sunday to the services at St. Paul's Cathedral,
Grant alleged that his coat-pocket, in which he had kept
the money, had been cut away, and he lost it. I felt my-
self bound, when I received it under the circumstances,
that I was compelled to carry out this order. Since I have
been master of the workhouse I have never been supplied
with any regulations of the Poor-law Board. Ido not
know of their existence in the parish. I do not know of
any orders issued from the Poor-law Board to this parish
in the year 1856, which, as to punishment of paupers,
directed that inmates may be punished by the directors or
by the master. Amongst others they can be punished,
Mr. Farnall stated, for robbery, or suspicion of robbery.
The Inspector here read the list of things which are con-
sidered disorderly or refractory under the regulations of the
Poor-law Board, and the mode of punishmentto which they
may be subjected.

Evidence continued—The dietary is wholly under the
supervision of the medical officer where he thinks any alter-
ation necessary. The dietary of the separation ward is less
