REWARDS FOR SALVAGE SERVlCES.—Yesterday,
at the Admiralty, two cases were heard in which
claims were made for salvage services. The Court awarded
a sum of £750 against the owners of a vessel called the
Martin Luther, which had been abandoned, or was a
" derelict ;" and, in tho case of a vessel called the Rich-
mond, the owners were ordered to pay £1,500. There
had been yellow fever on board ; the captain had died,
and only a boy was able to read the burial service. When
the Emblin came up the crew were ready to abandon her ;
she was however brought safely to England. The Court
said it was a most meritorious service, and awarded the
sum mentioned and costs.

REVELATION of QUACKS and QUACKERY.
By D F.TECTOIL

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 TIIE 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
of ten read, in the pages of "Punch," of curtain 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 marry of Mr. " Punch's" contemporaties, especially in the
country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub-
lish the information that a nominal list of these nascreants,
with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning
them, needful to be known, will be found in the pamphl- t
above referred to, which is entitled " Revelatiuns of Quacks
ant Quackery," and is to be had at the "Medical 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 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 espeeally that, as
aforesaid, the names of the Quacks are publisliel. 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 d'o 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 ?"
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.

HUDDERSFIELD.

At a special meeting of the Council of the Hud-
dersfield Chamber of Commerce, held on Monday
last, Mr. W. R. Haigh, the chairman, said that
when the news of the assassination of President
Lincoln first reached Huddersfield the feeling was
one of incredulity, for the inhabitants could not
realise that such an event had taken place; but when
the details came the feeling was one of horror, and
business was almost entirely suspended, business
men being almost incapacitated for the ordinary
avocations of life. The assassination of President
Lincoln was a deed calculated to stagger their faith
in humanity, and was a crime that every right-
minded man must loathe and detest, no matter
what his opinions might be in reference to the
struggle between the North and the South. It was
only right that they should meet to give expression
to their feelings in reference to the assassination of
President Lincoln, who having been called to a high
office in a troublous time had nobly performed the
duties of that office, and had shown himself to be a
kind, genial, merciful man. It became them to
express their sympathy with the American nation
on this occasion, when their leader had been shot
down by a stealthy assassin. He hoped the Ameri-
cans would show moderation during this crisis,
would be able to re-organise their disordered affairs,
and would come out of the great rebellion even a
wiser and a better country. In conclusion the
chairman moved :

"That this Chamber desires to record its profound
sympathy and condolence with the Government and
citizens of the United States of America on the
occasion of the recent assassination of President
Lincoln and attempted assassination of Mr. Secre -
tary Seward. These most atrocious crimes must
excite the horror and indignation of all civilised
nations ; and cannot, at this momentous crisis of
American affairs, be too deeply deplored by all who
recognise, as this Chamber does to its fullest extent,
the single-minded patriotism and great ability with
which President Lincoln has guided the destinies of
his nation through almost unparalleled difficulties.
The Chamber would also express its respectful sym-
pathy with the widow and family of the deceased
President."

The resolution, which was seconded by Mr. T.
CRESS WELL, was carried unanimously.
On the motion of Mr. ENGLAND, seconded by Mr.
H. BROOK, it was resolved that the previous reso-
lution should be communicated to Mr. Stevenson,
the American consular agent in Huddersfield, with
a request that he would forward it through the
proper channel to the American Government.

NOTTINGHAM,

On Monday evening, the Ist inst., a public meet-
ing of the inhabitants of Nottingham was held in the
Exchange-hall for the purpose of expressing their
opinion on the assassination of the late President of
the United States. The Mayor (Mr. W. Page)
occupied the chair, and among those present were
Aldermen Birkin, Heymann, and Sylvester, Coun-
cillors Cox, Turner, &c. Mr. Alderman Birkin
proposed the first resolution :—" That this meeting
regards with horror, indignation, and abhorrence
the appalling crime which has put an end to the life
of the great and good President Lincoln, while it
rejoices that the dastardly attempt on the life of Mr.
Seward has not resulted in his death, and trusts that
he may long be spared for the benefit of his coun-
try." The motion was carried. The following
resolutions were also unanimously adopted That
this meeting desires to record its profound sympathy
with the people of the United States in this hour of
national bereavement, and more especially with the
widow of their twice-elected chief, the desolateness
of whose grief is intensified by the atrocious nature
of the deed which has snatched her husband from
her side." " That this meeting devoutly trusts the
wise, statesmanlike, and eminently conciliatory and
Christian policy of the murdered President, so
peculiarly suited to bind up the wounds of his bleed-
ing country, may not die with its author, but be
carried forward by his successor to the speedy esta-
blishment of peace, liberty, law, and order, and
happiness in that great country." The meeting was
very unanimous, and the Mayor was deputed to
convey the resolutions to Mr. Adams.

WAKEFIELD.

On Monday night a public meeting, convened by
the Mayor (Mr. W. H. Lee), in compliance with a
largely signed requisition soliciting him to do so,
was held in the Sessions House, Wakefield, to give
the inhabitants of the town an opportunity of pub-
licly expressing their detestation of the ghastly
crime which has deprived the United States of
America of their President, and plunged the family
of the late Abraham Lincoln into mourning and
woe. The meeting was presided over by the Mayor,
and was largely attended. The Mayor, on opening
the proceedings, in feeling terms alluded to the
melancholy object which had brought them
together, and passed a warm tribute of respect and
admiration upon the character of Abraham Lin-
coln. Two resolutions were submitted to the
meeting—the first expressive of sympathy with
the American people on the dreadful calamity
which had overtaken them ; and the second tender-
ing condolence to Mrs. Lincoln and her bereaved
family. Both resolutions received the unanimous
approval of the meeting, and were ordered to
be sent to Mr. Adams, the American Minister in
England, for the purpose of being forwarded to
the proper quarters. As a practical way of show-
ing sympathy, it was pointed out during the meeting
that an excellent opportunity was open to every one
either to contribute money, clothing, or tools, to be
transmitted to the liberated slaves, who are in great
need. The Mayor opened the subscription with a

THE NEW COURTS OF JUSTICE BUILDING

BILL.

Lord REDESDALE asked the Lord Chancellor if he
would not consent to the postponement of the committee
on this bill ?

The LORD CHANCELLOR, who presented a petition
from members of the legal profession in favour of the bill,
declined to accede to the request of the noble lord.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS BILL.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH moved that the inhabitants of
Rugby and the parts adjacent within the limits of the Free
Grammar School founded by Lawrence Shirreff be heard,
as prayed by their counsel and witnesses, against such
provisions of the Public Schools Bill as affected their in-
terests.

The Earl of CLARENDON moved that the bill should
be referred to a select committee, with the understanding
that the parties petitioning against its provisions should be
heard by counsel before said committee.
After some observations from the Earl of Ellenborough,
the Earl of Shaftesbury, and other noble lords,
Lord WROTTESLEY presented a petition from Cul-
tivators of Natural Science, stating that the provisions of
the Public Schools Bill were inadequate to insuro the
introduction of instruction in natural science into public
schools, and to more that they might be heard by counsel.
The motion was then agreed to.

great duties pressing upon him, had looked to a
higher source of help than many men gave him credit
for. (Cheers.)

The resolution was carried unanimously, and also
the following :—" That while deeply lamenting the
removal of President Lincoln from his exalted posi-
tion at a time when his combined wisdom and bene-
volence seemed peculiarly needful to secure the
peaceful and harmonious reconstruction of the Ame-
rican nation, this meeting earnestly hopes the sur-
viving statesmen of that great Republic may succeed
in speedily and happily surmounting every obstacle
to such a reconstruction, in accordance with the
immutable principles of justice and freedom."

The other speakers were Mr. Jowitt, Mr. F. Baines,
Rev. H. W. Williams (Wesleyan), Alderman Car-
ter, Rev. Eustace Conder (Independent), Rev. J.
Blomfield (St. George's church), Mr. Tatham, Dr.
Heaton, &c.

It was also resolved that copies of the resolutions
be forwarded to the United States Government and
to Mrs. Lincoln, the latter to be accompanied by an
expression of the deep sympathy entertained by the
people of Leeds for herself and her family in their
heavy bereavement and affliction.

PRUSSIA.

THE ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT
LINCOLN.

BERLIN, MAY 3.

The address of sympathy from the Chamber of
Deputies was presented to the American Minister
yesterday.

His Excellency, in reply, thanked the Chamber
in the name of the United States Government and
people for the sympathy expressed by the members
of so illustrious and in every way so distinguished
an assembly. He lamented the great loss sustained
by the death of Mr. Lincoln. He also extolled the
great services rendered by the Germans to the cause
of the Union, and said America would never forget
what the Germans had done for her cause. Mr.
Seward was now better. His death would be almost
as great a loss as was that of Mr. Lincoln. The
death of the President would create no change in
the policy of the North. Lincoln's greatest merit
was that he had faithfully carried out the will of the
people, and the will of the people had remained the
same. There was no fear of any change, for
Andrew Johnson was a statesman, tested during a
long public career, and elected at the same time as
Abraham Lincoln.

SPAIN.

MADRID, MAY 2.

The anniversary of the Spanish revolution of the

ment employe's took part in the fete. The streets
were thronged with people. Perfect order and
tranquillity prevailed.

NORWICH.

A town's meeting was held here yesterday for the
purpose of expressing sympathy with the American
people and Government for the loss which they have
sustained through the assassination of Mr. Lincoln.
The Mayor (Mr. C. E. Tuck) presided, and stated
that apologies had been received from the Bishop of
Norwich and other gentlemen, for their unavoidable
absence. The Rev. Canon Heaviside, in a long and
able speech, moved a resolution to the effect that
the meeting desired to express the greatest regret at
the calamity brought upon the people of the United
States of America by the assassination of Presilent
Lincoln ; that the meeting regarded with horror
and detestation the crime by which the President's
life was sacrificed, and that in the name of the citi-
zens of Norwich it begged to offer to the Govern-
ment and people of the United States the most sin-
cere and earnest sympathy with them in the loss
which had so suddenly befallen them. Mr. H.
Birkbeck seconded the resolution, which was car-

ried and on the motion of Mr. Chancellor Evans,
seconded by Mr. J. H. Tillett, it was agreed that
the mayor should forward a copy of it to his Excel-
lency the American Minister for transmission to
Washington. The following interesting extracts
from a letter dated New York, April 18, were read
by Mr. Tillett

" The funeral of our good President will be re-
ligiously observed, and few hearts in this city, once
so opposed to him, will fail to be sad. I never saw
anything like it ; nothing is so easy of detection as
insincere sorrow; nothing more plainly understood
and felt than the true sorrow of a large community.
The faces of Saturday and Sunday are never to be
forgotten. . . . If the good man, good old
honest Abe, could return to us, he would ask out
of his brave kind heart one change only in the pre-
sent national feeling ; he would allay the deep ter-
rible frenzy of the people against his murderer and
his murderer's abettors. . . . The feeling is
calmer now, and by the common consent of all
parties Mr. Johnson has cordial support in his new
and most trying position, and I firmly believe all
will end well. I looked, as you know, on Mr. Lincoln
as the safety-valve of that great people. He had in
Mr. Seward the safest of his advisers. Mr. Seward
is left to us. Of Mr. Johnson I have never said
much. I respect him, however, as the only Southern
senator who in 1861 did not turn traitor. He has
worked manfully for the good cause; he has been
in peril of life and fortune for four long years; and
it is our duty to forget his one fault and to seek
only for his virtues. Confidence is generally of slow
growth, but much is felt which four days ago was
not felt. My fears are less and my hopes are more.
By common consent no business is done that can be
avoided ; all efforts are directed to support the credit
of the country, and it may be truly said that such
a financial exhibit as Wall-street made on the 15th,
17th, and 18th of April, the three days following
the President's assassination, was never made before
anywhere under such disturbing circumstances,"
