REVELATION of QUACKS and QUACKERY.
By DETECTOR.

For notices of this startl ng work see the "Saturday Re-
view" of April 1, entitled "Quacks and Quackery ; ' the
"Weekly Dispatch" 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 many of liar. '• 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, n,edfut to be known, will be found in the pamphl• t
above referred to, which is entitled "Revelations of Quacks
and Quackery." and is to be had at the " Medicil Circular"
Office, 20, Ring 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 fully set forth in "Revelations
of Quacks and Qackery." And mark especially that, as
aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are published. The
pamphlet iu 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 eqntents will astonish and amuse
You, white 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 the Quacks that 'Punch= means 7"
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 Quckery, ' by Detector.—Punch, April 17.

This Institution is designed to supply a great national
want, viz., an asylum for the orphan daughters of sailors in
the Royal Navy and Merchants service and of Marines.
It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domestic
service, and provides a home free of exeense for former
inmates while out of situations, thus shielding them from the
temptations they might otherwise be exposed to.
The Committee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU-
TIONS to meet the increasing applications through the
recent storms and loss ••f life at sea, and to enable them
even' ually to obtain premises more commensurate with the
necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 17, 1865.

The Dispute in the Iron Trade.

WOLVERHAMPTON, April 15.
This afternoon the puddlers in the Wolver-
hampton district obtained the interview they have
been for some time seeking. lii reply to the letters
which at their meeting on Wednesday night they
resolved to send to their masters, asking them as a
district to meet the men in the same corporate capa-
city, the masters fixed at the Shrubbery Works for
the interview. This meeting was resolved upon by
the masters on Thursday in Birmingham after some
considerable discussion as to whether the masters
should not require the interviews to be confined to
the men and the employers at the Works respec-
tively.

The employers were represented by Major Thor-
neycroft and Mr. Kesteven (firm of G. B. Thorney-
croft and• Co.), Mr. George Barker and Mr. Barker,
jun. (representing the Chillington Company), Mr.
William Sparrow (of the Osier Bed Works),
Messrs. Wright and North (of the Monmere and
Cleveland Works), and Mr. Isaac Jenks (of the
Minerva Works). The puddlers at the Seven
Works in the Wolverhampton district were repre-
sented by 19 men in all.

Mr. W. Sparrow occupied the chair, and evinced
considerable ability in the management of the pecu-
liar business to be disposed of.
The men were invited to express themselves
freely, and their reception had been so cordial that
they did so without a feeling of the least restraint.
The great desire of the speakers seemed to be that a
Court of Arbitration should be determined on for
the adjusting of future differences. A few of the
masters drew the attention of the deputation to
certain difficulties which stood in the way of the
principle of arbitration being applied to the pecu-
liarities of the iron trade, and inquired of the depu-
tation how they proposed to meet these difficulties.
The deputation had not, however, gone with suffi-
cient care into the details to be able offhand to
give a reply, but they thought that a full discus-
sion of the subject at a future time might deve-
lope the means of meeting the several difficulties
as they arose. The employers, however, thought
the principle was not capable of univer-
sal application in the present state of the
law of the country as it applied to such matters.
They further showed that they themselves were not
able to carry out the principles, even though the men
in the district should have agreed to do so, and that
the men would not be able to bind their fellows else-
where. Indeed, it seemed not quite certain that the
Wolverhampton men would not incur the censure
of other districts for the independent action which
they had already taken in a matter which did not
seem to be desired by the men elsewhere, who were
equally with the men of Wolverhampton members
of the same Union. At the same time the masters ex-
pressed themselves equally desirous with their men
to come to some conclusion which might have the
effect of preventing a recurrence of antagonistic ac-
tion on the part of either workpeople or employers.
They would be ever ready to receive any suggestions
from their men, and they felt sure that the trade as
a body would, also be equally willing to consider
any suggestion applicable to the whole district made
by the men in the several localities in their combined
character. If the men could, upon deliberate con-
sideration, arrive at any plan which they believed
would work to the advantage of both sides, and
tend to bring about a means of settling any differ-
ences that might hereafter arise in a more satisfac-
tory manner than had yet been customary, the trade
would be happy to give it their very best considera-
tion. The chairman and others showed the men
that in recent times the alterations in the custom
relative to certain details had been to the advantage
of the men, who had now work done at the cost of
their respective masters which once had to be borne
by themselves, and that the tendency of the altera-
tions in respect of the quality of the pig iron used had
all been in the direction of a better quality. In this
the men were being taken further back to the period
at which their labour was so much more easy than
now. But the deputation were reminded by the
chairman that every such alteration, favourable as it
was to the puddlers, was met by his men by opposition,
on the plea that their labour was being increased.
Generally, however, points upon which a differ-
enge of view was known to exist on either side was
as much as possible avoided by both masters and
men; and as the deputation said that they had to
bring their masters' views before a general meeting,
Mr. George Barker wrote out the following, and
handed it to the chairman of the deputation
" At a meeting of masters and workmen, held at
the Shrubbery Works, Aprills, 1865, it was unani-
mously resolved that both parties, regretting the
unfortunate results of strikes and lock-outs, and
with a sincere desire to prevent their recurrence,
pledge themselves to give their best consideration to
devise some plan whereby the district may, as far as
possible in future, be preserved in quietness and pros-
perity, and good feeling be mutually maintained."
With this the deputation expressed themselves
quite satisfied, and they said it would be equally
approved by the general body of the men, who, upon
the hope that the meeting would result in mutual
advantage, would be prepared to resume work at
once. Some members of the deputation were of
opinion that the men would be ready to begin on
Monday, while others thought that they would pre-
fer having Easter Monday for a holiday. The
masters thereupon determined that work should
begin on Tuesday. The interview lasted consider-
ably over two hours.

At its close the deputation reported the proceed-
ings to a meeting of the men which was assembled at
the Horse and Jockey Inn, waiting for their return.
The resolution above quoted was read to the meet-
ing, accompanied by the verbal explanations of the
deputation, and was received by the 250 unionist
puddlers present with the most marked satisfaction.
So great was that satisfaction that, as the meeting
broke up, the men evinced the happiness which they
felt by a free exhibition of those freaks which ordi-
narily attend the breaking up of a boys' school for
the holidays.

The news of the settlement spread through the
town and into the district with astonishing rapidity,
and the Easter holidays will this year be an oc-
casion of unusual rejoicing in South Staffordshire.
Masters and men will both resume their respec-
tive occupations much wiser than they were
a few months ago, and both less disposed to take any
step that may lead to such a disagreement as that
which has led to their recent separation.
The North Staffordshire men, however, still re-
main out, and are being supported with increasing
liberality by their fellow-workmen in the south of
the county. If they remain in this position much
longer the masters say that they will carry out their
project of obtaining 500 puddlers from Russia,
where they feel assured that a sufficient number of
skilled workmen can be got together willing to come
to England, and work for wages very much lower
than those by which the Staffordshire men are re-
munerated. The step would, however, be an expen-
sive and an untried one, but it is the masters' reply
to:the threat of emigration.
The press were not admitted to either of the
meetings.

DuDY.EY, Saturday Evening.

The quarterly assemblies of the iionmasters of
this district were brought to a close here this even-
ing. There was a very small attendance, and
scarcely any business was transacted, not even in
pig iron, of which there are generally a few sales at
the meeting in this town ; but the extreme quietude
prevailing at Birmingham on Thursday has checked
the very slight improvement which seemed to be
springing up in the demand for the better makes of
this description of iron.
With respect to manufactured iron, there can be
no doubt but that the quantity for which contracts
have been taken this quarter-day is considerably
below the average, and the feeling on the part of all
who are engaged in the trade in this locality is that

‘, 4 d,6e

it has seldom been in so unsatisfactory a state ; the
orders in hand are nothing like adequate to keep the
Works in full operation, and there is no apparent
prospect of any improvement in that respect. In
this locality, and on to Stourbridge, all the Works
are again in operation, but the men arc trouble-
some, working as many " heats" a day as they
please and no more. While the present depression
continues the masters can endure this, though it is
no small matter to be compelled to do so, because
their fixed expenses are going on, whatever the pro-
duction at their Works may be. Were the trade to
revive this difficulty with the men would be a more
serious inconvenience. •

The general trade of this part of the district is
extremely dull ; it suffered much from the colliers'
strike of last year, and sufficient time had not elapsed
for it to rally before the " lock-out" commenced.

The accounts due this quarter-day have not been
met with the usual promptness.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

The Duke of Cambridge, Commander of the
Forces, has appointed to be at Plymouth to-day to
commence his annual inspection of tin fortifications
and of the troops in garrison. Lady Templetown
has issued cards of invitation to meet his Royal
Highness at Government House, Mountwise,
Devonport, this evening and to-morrow evening.
In accordance with instructions received from the
Horse Guards experiments have been made at the
Farnborough-Station of the South-Western Rail-
way during the past week with reference to the con-
veyance of artillery by rail to a given destination.
Col. A. J. Herbert, Assist. -Quartermaster-General
at Aldershott, conducted the experiments in the
presence of Col. A. T. Phillpotts, commanding the
Royal Artillery at the Camp ; Col. Michell (D bat-
tery, B Brigade, Royal Horse Artillery), and other
eminent officers of the Artillery, Staff, and division.
The experiments on the first day were made by
Lieut. Lee Grice's division of D battery, Royal
Horse Artillery, which turned out from the Perma-
nent Barracks in complete marching order with two
'guns and all the usual equipment. On arrival at
the railway station the guns were unlimbered, and
men, horses, and materiel transferred to trucks.
About an hour was occupied in these arrangements,
and it was ascertained from the experiment that 11
trucks would accommodate a battery of six Arm-
strong guns (9-pounders) with all their equip-
ments, and that 145 horses, which is the num-
ber usually appropriated to a battery of Royal
Horse Artillery, could be placed in 25 trucks.
The distribution of weight was ascertained to be as
follows :—For 54 men and horses, average weight
121 cwt., 675 cwt. ; 13 officers, with horses and bag-
gage, same average, 1621 cwt. ; 6 guns (with two
men on each limber) 33/ cwt. each, 2021 cwt. ; 6
ammunition waggons (six men to each, with full
equipments and appurtenances) at 494 cwt. each,
295- cwt. ; store-waggon, forge, and captain's cart,
80 cwt. ; 78 draught horses, 10 cwt. each, 780 cwt.;
39 drivers, 10k stone, 51k cwt. The total weight of
the battery was 112 tons 7 cwt. On the second day
a division of the 9th Brigade Royal Artillery was
selected for experiment, and the arrangements were
carried out under the same superintendence. Among
other operations a 40-pounder Armstrong gun was
removed to a truck, and was shifted easily and
rapidly notwithstanding its enormous weight. The
experiments were considered highly satisfactory, and
demonstrated that, should the necessity arise, artil-
lery could be rapidly conveyed from the camp, and
in the course of a few hours thrown upon nearly
any part of the coast fully equipped and ready for
action.

The Ist battalion 21st (Royal North British Fusi-
leers) Regiment, under the command of Colonel J.
Ramsay Stuart, C. 8., has arrived at Aldershot, and
occupies the A, B, and C Lines, North Camp. The
strength of the battalion on marching in was 3 field
officers, 9 captains, 20 subalterns, 4 staff officers, 53
sergeants, 23 drummers, 790 rank and file, 80
women, and 130 children.

The Pigmy, paddlewheel steamer, Master-Com-
mander Vine, left Portsmouth on Saturday for
Portland, with supernumeraries for the ships form-
ing the Channel squadron. It is understood that
they will leave their anchorage on Monday evening,
and proceed to about 10 miles south of the Bill of
Portland, the appointed place of rendezvous, where
they will be joined by the Hector, iron-clad, Capt.
Preedy, and accompany the Edgar, flagship of Rear
Admiral Sir S. C. Dacres, to Lisbon.
The Orontes, troopship, Captain H. W. Hire, is
undergoing considerable repairs and alterations in
No. 8 dock at Portsmouth, which, however, are to
be completed by the 24th, so that she may be re-
moved for the purpose of enabling the Royal
yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain the Prince of
Leiningen, to be docked for examination, and to
have any requisite repairs made before her leaving
the harbour for the use of the Prince of Wales on
his visit to Ireland.

It does not appear to be the intention of the Lords
of the Admiralty to man the ironcased screw steam-
ship Caledonia, 35, at Devonport, so soon as was
at first expected. Some of the crew of the Revenge,
73 (wood), late flagship in the. Mediterranean, now
dismantling, will probably go with Capt. Foley to
the Caledonia. A large number of the continuous
service men on the books of the Revenge will, when
she is put out of commission, be paid up, granted
leave of absence, and be allowed to join any other
ship. Several volunteered on the station.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

ROCHDALE.

Roc lIDA LE, Saturday.
This morning the polling for a representative in
parliament to supply the place of the late Mr. Cob-
den commenced here, the two candidates being Mr.
Brett, Q.C., Conservative, and Mr. Potter, Liberal.
At four o'clock the numbers were—
Potter .
Brett

Vice-Admiral Sir J. M'Dougall, K.C.8., died at
Dunollie, Argyleshire, on the 12th inst., aged 75.
He entered the navy in Dec., 1802, and in the course
of the following year was five times in action be-
tween Calais and Flushing. In 1807 he commanded
a division of boats, at the capture of several ves-
sels, and destruction of three signal stations ; in 1808
he was present at the capture of a French privateer
near Acona, and took possession of a privateer of 2
guns and 36 men. He was nominated to a lieuten-
ancy by Lord Collingwood, Nov. 25, 1809, and in
the same year was present at the capture of a French
brig, in Port Hercole. When in charge of a prize
he conveyed information which led to the capture of
the French frigates Pomone, 44, and Persanne, 26,
and he assisted at the capture of the latter in 1811.
He was twice wounded at the bombardment of
Algiers in 1816, and was promoted to commander
Feb. 9, 1820. He was raised to the rank of captain
Aug. 16, 1836. He was senior officer in command
of an expedition against the Bogue Forts in 1847 ;
obtained flag rank May 12, 1857, and became vice-
admiral_Nov. 3, 18630-

Majority -150

The official declaration of the poll was made by
the mayor, from the hustings, at a quarter to six this
evening. Mere was an immense assemblage pre-
sent. The announcement of Mr. Potter's election
by 150 votes elicited enthusiastic cheering from that
gentleman's supporters. When these demonstra-
tions had subsided,
Mr. Potter advanced to the front and said—Elec-
tors and non-electors, I congratulate the men of
Rochdale, the people of England, and the friends of
human progress all over the world, on the glorious
news we have heard from the other side of the At-
lantic. I congratulate the:friends of popular govern-
ment on, the success of the Federal cause, and the
working men and women of Rochdale and this dis-
trict on the prospect of having ere long a plentiful .
supply of cotton, and cotton unstained by the blood
of the slaves. (Applause.) ',The proudest aristocracy
in the world have ;had to bow down before the offended
majesty of a great people. Let this warning not be
lost on the proudest aristocracy in Europe, let them
remember that the maintenance of a wrong to a
great people is as unsafe as it is unjust. (Applause.)
Men of Rochdale, I thank you for the honour
you have done me in electing me as your repre-
sentative, but far more do I thank you that you
have set your seal to the opinions of that great
man who has been recently taken :away from
amongst us. You have done more honour to your-
selves, and to - your common country, than to the
humble individual who stands before you. Gentle-
men, I shall not detain you longer than by saying
that, as your representative, I will hold firmly to
the political opinions of the party with which I am
connected. I shall consider it my duty, to the
utmost of my power, to serve every man in Roch-
dale, elector and non-elector, and to the best of my
ability to give an account of my stewardship at lease
each year ; and if my duties are discharged to your
satisfaction I shall be prepared to serve you and
stick to you as long as you 'shall wish me to do so.
On the motion of Mr. Potter, seconded by Mr.
G. L. Ashworth, a vote of thanks was awarded to
the mayor, and the crowd quietly dispersed.
The large majority obtained by Mr. Potter has
excited great surprise, and is freely attributed to
the gigantic bribery of the Liberals and to the
supineness of the Conservatives—scores of the lat-
ter, though they had signed the requisition to Mr.
Brett, not coming forward.

PUNISHMENTS IN PERSIA.—The punishments of
Persia, though not so barbarous as in former times,
are yet very cruel. One mode of execution is so barbarous
that it is to be hoped it is but rarely practiseel.ataTnheee

wretches, who had been guilty of some robberies, had been
induced to surrender themselves by a promise of pardon,
and had for some time lived in peace, quietly confiding in
the royal faith. On the appearance of the Shah, however,
it was neces3ary that some victims for the exputioner
should be found ; and, in spite of the pardon, these unfor-
tunate people were seized and executed, to the great edifi-
cation of the populace, who, in all likelihood, esteemed
their Sovereign all the more for his breach of faith.-L-A

I 1 O.DTERTISEMENT.] Holloway's Pills. —Confidential
Advice.—To all persons who suffer from bilious head-
aches, disordered stomach, biliousness, or flatulency, these
pills are most strongly recommended as the safest, best,
and quickest mode of obtaining ease, without weakening
or irritating the nervous system. Holloway's pills are
especially useful in clearing away any excess of bile, which
usually produces fever, unless remedial measures be adopted
without delay. In asthma, bronchitis, and congestion of
the lungs they may be relied upon for relieving all danger;
and,: by purifying and regulating the circulation, they
effectually prevent relapses. By rinsing the liver to a fair
secretion of bile, and quickly carrying it off from the sys-
tem, these pills ward off low spirits, listlessness, and those
distressing feelings often called "nervous."
