The Assam Company, the first established for the culti-
vation of tea in India, being desirous of concentrating and
confining their operations to the Southern Division of
Upper Assam, and thus centralising the management of
their extensive properties, have determined on selling it to
the Northern Assam Tea Company (Limited), whose
estates are contiguous, the whole of the northern and eas-
tern division of their property in Assam, instead of adopt-
ing the alternative of promoting a new company to carry
them on, or placing them under separate management.
The present extension of capital, therefore, is for the
purpose of purchasing. direct from the Assam Company the
whole of their outlying estates in the neighbourhood of
the Tingrie and Deehing rivers in Upper Assam, forming
their northern and eastern division, and consisting of the
following gardens:—
The Tingrie Mookh, Hoogrie Jaun, Kehung, Naholia,
Cato, Tippum, Hookan Joorie, Towrock.
These comprise some of the fine old indigenous gardens,
respecting which so much has been written, and which
only require opening out to insure their profitable exten-
sion. They arc at present producing the finest tea and tea
seed in Assam--ii— .-.4m,itint quantity to enable
fro pm masers to plant out any extent of new land with-
out further cost on this head.

The area at present under cultivation is about 1,000
acres, of which over 500 are in full bearing. The Gardens
are surrounded by lands for which grants have been ob-
tained to the extent of 10,000 acres, all of which is very
sup3rior and suitable for the growth of tea.
The Assam Company's right to the whole of this pro-
perty, together wick al buildings, plant, implements, tools,
boats, and live stock, will be handed over to the Northern
Assam Tea Company for the sum of £lOO,OOO, to be paid
as follows:8th June, 1865 £30,000
15th July,
20,000
15th August, „

15th November, ,

£lOO,OOO
The crop of tea of this season, and any further grants of
land that the superintendent or, agents of the Assam Com-
pany may have acquired up to the date of completion of
this sale, together with all cultivation commenced during
the current season, commencing Ist November, 1864, has
also been contracted to be transferred to this Company,
on payment of the sums actually disbursed since that
date.
No commissions or promotion money have been paid or
allowed.
In the allotment of shares a preference will be given to
shareholders in the Northern Assam Tea Company and the
Assam Company.
The Assam Company in 1863 disposed of their outlying
estates in the district of Cachar, for the purchase of which
a company was formed in Calcutta, called " The Central
Cachar Company," the shares of which company are readily
saleable at 25 per cent. premium. Those of the Assam
Company are at above 150 per cent. premium.
The success of tea-growing in Assam is now thoroughly
established. Indian teas are rapidly increasing in favour
and value, owing to their great strength and pungency.
Further, it may be stated, that the recent reduction of the
duty has already caused a considerable advance in prices
here, and the supply is still inadequate to the demand.
In reference to the quality and capabilities of the lands
proposed to be purchased, the following extracts are taken
from the last reports :
The Resident Secretary in India of the Assam Company,
in his report on the property contracted for, says :
" The lands in this part of the province are the finest for
tea cultivation in Assam. The soil is not only the very
best, but the forests contain the most splendid timber, inex-
haustible in extent, which is not the case in the Southern
Division. It needs no foresight to predict that the pro-
perty the Company holds in this part of the country may
be made within the next ten years equal, if not superior, to
that which they will be in possession of at that time in the
Southern Division."

Thefollowing are also extracts from a report made to the
Directors of the Assam Company by their Chief Superin-
tendent in January last, when he visited the property
That the land is first-rate there is no question or doubt,
but to effect such an object (that is, work it to full advan-
tage) it must be divided into a distinct field, and the
management given to the person residing on the spot.
" I have now got the Deputy Commissioner to accept
three applications near Tingrie, for probably an area of
about 7,000 acres, including the land- between Tingrie,
Hoogrie Jaun, and Kehung, along the banks of the Tingrie
river ; and this, with what we have already secured in
other quarters between the Deehing and the Tingrie, will
bring the Company's holding up to at least 10,000 or 12,000
acres ; and I would recommend the extending in this quar-
ter for the reason, that the land is very superior, and the
position likely to be much more healthy than any other
portion of the Northern and Eastern Division.
" The present gardens, if worked up to their capabilities,
would yield 2,000 =ands of tea.
" The plants in the nurseries, which were put down last
year for the purpose of planting out, have come up, very
well, some of them 18 inches and others 2 feet high.'
The estates have been frequently visited by the Manag-
ing directors of the Northern Assam Tea Company during
the last 13 years, and as lately as March last. He fully
confirms the favourable views above expressed, and is of
opinion that with comparatively small outlay the indi-
genous plants alone cam be worked up to an annual yield
of 4,000 to 5,000 chests of tea.
Since the contract for the purchase has been concluded,
the Assam Company have received from their Managing
Director in India, and from a large Shareholder in both
Companies now. visiting Assam, valuations of the property
greatly in excess of the price agreed to be paid.
On the above grounds, therefore, the acquisition of these
estates will render the Northern Assam Tea Company one
of the most influential and profitable in India.
Application for shares to be mado on the annexed Form
on or before Wednesday, the 31st May, on which date the
list will be closed.

For notices of this startling work see the "Saturday Re-
view" of April 1, entitled "Quacks and Quackery ;" the
"Weekly D spatch" of April 0, "The Quacks and their
Crimes ;" "The Sun" of April 12, " 'Detector's' Broadside
on Quacks and Quackery."
GUIDE TO THE QUACKS OF LONDON.
A sorlos of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in
the " iledical 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 nut
advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of
the advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which
too maw,' of :qr." Punch's" contempora; les, espe.nat ly in the
country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub-
lish info. mation that a nominal list of these nii.creants:
with copies of their puffs and other l.articulars concerning
them, n. edfut to be known, will be found in the pamphi t
above referred to, which is entitled " Revelati ms of Quacks
an i Quackery," and is to be had at the "Medic tl Circular "
Office, 20, King William-street, Strand, W.O.
The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel
rapacity, and the enormous g.ins 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 publishei. 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
you, 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 the Quacks that 'Punch' means 2"
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.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BATH AND SOMERSET COUNTY MEETING.

WEDNESDAY.

The second day of this meeting fully sustained its cha-
racter, and although the list of sport was shorn of the
attraction of the Somersetshiro Stakes, the Beaufort Cup
(a now race which has been instituted since last year),
together with six other events, made up an excellent card.
The attendance was again equal to, if not in excess of,
previous years, and the weather could not have been more
beautiful. The Grand Stand was graced with a large and
aristocratic company, and the enclosure was the scene of
speculation of the most lively character. Anticipated
movements anent the Derby were produced upon assem-
bling in the ring, when repeated offers to back Chattanooga
ended in 20 to 1 being taken about the "reported roarer,"
about whom as much as 50 to 1 was laid overnight. The
current statement circulated by the followers of Mr.
Naylor's horse was that he had been Victorious in a trial
on Tuesday. Racing commenced with a Selling Plate, and
of the five runners the Cotytto colt was made favourite ;
but the bookmakers had the best of it, Sylph, little fancied,
winning cleverly, and she subsequently netted 75 guineas
to the fund by her sale. The Weston Stakes was contested
by 14 runners, but though the followers of the stable were
content to take as little as 6 to 4 about Student upon the
numbers going up, he retired to 8 to 1 before the flag fell,
the Doralice colt finishing first favourite. The winner,
Vespasian, who was little fancied, did the fielders a good
turn by the second time landing Mr. Craven's colours.
Jem Goater followed up his luck by winning the Bath
Handicap, Donnybrook cutting down his eight opponents
very cleverly. The Beaufort Cup was the event of the
day ; the vase, which was exhibited in the front of the
stand, is a peculiarly chaste one, the bas-reliefs on either
side representing
Henry V. leading a cavalry charge, and
perhaps may be said to be one of the most elegant ever
manufactured' by Messrs. R. and S. Garrard, of London.
Cambuscan, the conqueror of General Peel, was a hot
favourite, and the race created great excitement; but
Lord Stamford's splendid horse had to strike his colours
to Ely, who outlasted him, and won in a canter by four
lengths. In the Badminton Stakes Ozone, about whom 25
to 1 was offered, did the fielders another good turn by
defeating the flyers Cranbury and Hesper, and the Dyr-
ham Park Handicap was another blow to the gentlemen,
who laid odds on The Count, who, after running a dead
heat with Bradamante, was defeated by the latter in the
deciding heat. The meeting proved the most successful
ever held at Lansdown, and to Mr. Reynolds, the inde-
fatigable secretary, great credit is due for the general
management. The cards, an important feature to race-
goers, were accurately and correctly printed by Messrs.
Dawson. Appended will he found full particulars of the
day's running :.--

After several failures Vespasian jumped off with a slight
lead, followed by Qui Vive, Queen Mary, Rustic, and
Redan, which lot remained in front for half the distance,
when they wore joined by Student ; the Doralice colt, who
got badly off, at this point also improved his position. At
the distance post Vospasian quitted the body of horses im-
mediately in his rear, and Redan being cannoned against
by the Doralico colt, Lord St. Vincent's horse was knocked
out of his stride, and rapidly fell into the middle division,
while the Doralice colt, Student, Lady Audley, and Rustic
went on in pursuit of Vespasian, whom, however, they
could never reach, and without having been headed from

Todleben and Sydmonton jumped off together in front,
but after going 200 yards A. D. Wagner took up the run-
ning, followed by Todleben and Sydmonton, Cambuscan
going on fourth, Ely fifth, and Buckfoot last. Before
reaching the bottom turn A. D. Wagner dropped into the
rear, and Todleben went on in front, with Sydmonton
second, and the favourite third ; but upon entering the
straight A. D. Wagner assumed the lead and went past the
stand two lengths in front of Todleben, close behind whom
was Sydmonton, Cambuscan lying well up fourth, and Ely
fifth, Buckfoot half a dozen lengths in the rear of Mr. Cart-
