From the Liverpool Journal : —" Bosjesmans, or Bush People, from Southern Africa —Interesting specimens of a most extraordinary race of human beings have been landed in our port; they are the Bosjes mans, or Bush. People from the interior of South Africa, of which so mach has been written by the missionaries, and the few who have travelled to that far distant region. They are natives of the country bordering the Great Orange River, 1,200 or 1,400 miles from Cape Town. They exhibit almost as striking an absence of the intellectual or higher faculties as is observable in the skull of that mockery of humanity, the Baboon, while the preponderance of the animal is al most equally as great. In every respect they are calculated to excite the greatest astonishment, and to confirm to the full those " Tales of Travellers" which we have certainly been inclined to look upon with suspicion. We coal scarcely have credited that such a rice could be in existence on the earth. That they are genuine no one can doubt ; in proof of which we give the following extract from a ('ape Town Paper of the 24th December, which we have just re • ceived :—" We understand the brig Fanny, Captain Wheeler, which recently left Table Bay for Liverpool, had on board an unusual kind of exportation, viz., two males and two females of the genuine Bush man species; they are in charge (.f a Mr. J. G. R. Bishop, who has been at considerable trouble and expense in procuring them from the interior. They are authentic specimens of this diminutive and ra pidly decreasing tribe of Aborigines, found only in Southern Africa.

THE RECENT LOSS OF THE EXMOUTH.—OFFICIAL REPORT. The report of Lieutenant Ramsay, the Government Emigration agent, relative to the condition of the Ex mouth, wrecked, with great loss of life, on the coast of Islay, received on Saturday, contains the following ad ditional particulars:— The Exmouth (although an old vessel—built at Sun derland in 1818), was in perfect state of repair, and underwent a thorough survey by Lieutenant. Ramsay and an experienced shipbuilder. She was properly fitted out for emigrant 4, the aggregate number of superficial feet in the several compartments set apart for steerage and intermediate passengers being 1,675. She was well pro visianed, and was supplied with three suitable boats, with every requisite for their use, and two lite buoys. It gives the names of the passengers (most of whom were middle-class farmers, their wives, and families, and possessing property). The numbers were—Male emi grants, 74; female emigrants, 62; male children under fourteen, 29; female children under fourteen, 34; infanti, 9 ; cabin passengers. 3 ; master (Captain Booth), 1; crew, B—Total number drowned, 220. The spot where the ship was wrecked was on the north-west part of the island of Islay. A gentleman writing says :—" The vessel was smashed almost the in st.int she struck. It was on a point of a narrow guilt , t, deep, dark, and yawning. Nothing but iron-bound rocks, 80 to 150 feet high. The fragments of the wreck (and fragments they truly might be called) were driven into the chasm, where, mixed with dea d bodies, they were tossed and kept in wild commot i o n b y the violence of the wind and waves for days. A more harrowing sight was never witnessed." By the last accounts received from the island, it ap pears no fewer than 108 bodies had been recovered ; they were hooked up out of the gullet by men who were lowered by ropes from the summit of the rocks. Most of them were women and children, who were entirely naked ; they were dreadfully mutilated, some without faces, others without heads or limbs They were wrapped in sheets by two gentlemen named Canpb:ll, who saw to their decent interment in a beautifial spot near the point where the mournful event occurred. We understand her Dtbijestyls Government have been pleased to notify to those gentlemen their sense of such meritorious example and exertion, and to add a gra tuity to the men who have been engaged in recovering the bodies. PROTEST AGAINST THE IRISH POOR (From Punch.) We have seen a document thus headed in the columns of some of our contemporaries; but not believing in the correctness of their report, we have been at some pains to procure the following, which may be relied upon for its authenticity:— DISSENTIENT. 1. Because the law, giving to the destitute a claim for relief, encourages a notion that it is the duty of some body to provide for them; and extravagant hopes will inevitably lead to extravagance. 2. Because the Irish people are constitutionally given to starvation, and an interference with national habits cannot be desirable. 3. Because the tendency of the Bill is to increase the distress of the landlords while attempting to relieve the distress of the whole people. 4. Because the Bill, having been framed under an urgent necessity, was framed in a hurry; and as nothing done in a hurry is done well, nothing ought to be done when an urgent necessity demands it. 5. Because it will riin the indep , ndence of the poor in Ireland, by giving them something to depend upon. RA DNOR. eIONTEAGLE of Brandon. FITZ W I LLIA M.

On the re-admission of the parties, the CHAIRMAN stated that the Committee had decided that the preamble of the Cheltenham and Oxford Railway Bill was proved--(this is ;he broad gauge line)—and that the preamble of the Lon don, Cheltenham, and Oxford Bill—(the narrow gauge line) —was not proved. In giving this intimation the NOBLE CHAIRMAN said that the Committe, in coming to this decision, had required that in the event of a narrow gauge line being hereafter sanctioned to Oxford, that the Broad Gauge Company would allow the North-Western Company to lay down a line if the Railway Commissioners should intimate that it was nec'ssary, after the question of the mixed gauges had been decided by experience. His Lordship also stated that the Committee required the insertion of a very atrin pent clause to protect the inhabitants of Cheltenham from the inconvenience which was apprehended from the alteration of the level of the water in that town. It was intimated, on behalf of the Great Western Com pany, that they were quite ready to accede to such a clause, and it was agreed that time should be given for its prepara tion, and that the clauses should be proceeded with on Wed nesday morning. MANGOTSFIELD AND DATE. The Committee then resumed the consideration of this Bill, which, it will be recollected, is a short line of eight miles in length, to complete the narrow gauge communica tion between Bristol and Gloucester.

On Saturday his Royal Highness Prince Albert, in virtue of his office of Warden of the Duchy of Cornwall, held a court in the Council Chamber of tbe Privy Council Office, Downing-street. Besides his Royal Highncss, the Court consisted of the Lord Chancellor, Lord Lynd hurst, and another Learned Lord. The case under con sideration was that of BASSETT V. REYNOLDS. This case involved the ownership of sixteen shares in a certain mine in Cornwall. The mine was divided into shares, and it was alleged on the one hand that Mr. J. Basset deceased had purchased these shares, and an entry to this effect was found in the books of the mine. The entry was, however, erased (not in such a manner as to obliterate what had been written, nor did it appear that intention of the kind had existed), and it was contended on the part of Mr. Reynolds that the entry was not of any validity as a proof of the shares being Mr. Bassett's, or that should r eua pp continued on advantage those s hs from shares, years to se ptaty's death e , if they had been his, they had been re• tran s f c rred back to Mr. Reynolds, of whom the entry and allegation stated that Mr. Bassett had Purc h ased t h em.

THE BATTLE OF CERRO GORDO. (From the New Orleans Delta.) We are indebted to Captain Hughes, of the Topo graphical Corps, for much valuable and interesting information relating to the late glorious victory t.t Cerra Gordo. On the arrival of the other divisions of the army at the encampment of General Twiggs, on the 16 ai of A pril, General Scutt, after taking a reconnoissance of the enemy's wo: its, determined to storm them. The position occupied by the enemy was regarded lit them as impregnable, and, truly, to any other thaii Ameticm soldiers it must have appeared an insur mountable and imp.racticab'e undertaking to carry it ley storm, or turn it by strategy. The road from Vera Cruz, as it passes the Plan del Rio, which is a wide rocky bed of a once large stream, is commanded by a series of high cliffs, rising one above the other, and extending several miles, all well ortified. The road then debauches to the right, and curving around the ridge passes over a high cliff, which is completely cuffed by forts and batteries. This ridge is the commencement of the Terra Tem plada, the upper or mountainous country—the right flank of the position—and a series of most abrupt and apparently impassable mountains and ridget covered their left. Between these points, runs ning a distance of two or three tidies, a suc cession of strongly fortified forts bristled at every turn, and seemed to defy all bravery and skill. The Cerro Gordo commanded the road on a gentle decli nation like a glacis for nearly a mile. An approach in that direction would have been the most entire an nihilatiOn of our army. But the enemy expected such an attack, calculating upon the desperate valour of our men, and believing that it was impossible to turn their position to the right or left. General Scott, however, with the eye of a skilful general, per ceived the trap set for him, and determined to avoid it. He therefore had a road cut to the right, so as to escape the front fire from the Cerro, and to turn his position to the left flank. This movement was made known to the enemy by a deserter from our camp, and consequently a large increase of force under General Vega was sent to the forts on their left. General Scott, to cover his flank movements, on the 17th of April ordered forward General Twiggs against the steep ascent in front and a little to the left of the Cerro. Colonel Harney commanded this ex aedition, and at the head of the rifles and some de tachments of infantry and artillery carried this posi - tion in front and near the enemy's strongest fortifica tions; and having, by incredible labour, elevated one of our large guns to the top of the fort, General Scott prepared to follow up his advantages. A de inonstration was made from this position against another strong fort in the rear and near the Cerro, but the enemy were considered too strong, and the un dertaking was abandoned. A like demonstration was made by the enemy. On the next day, the 18th, General Twiggs was ordered forward from the position he had already captured against the fort which commanded the Cerro. Simultaneously an attack on the fortifications on the enemy's left was to be made by General Shield's and Worth's division, who moved in separate columns, whilst General Pillow advanced against the strong forts and difficult ascents on the right of the enemy's position. The enemy, fully acquainted with General Scott's intended movement, had thrown large bodies of men into the various positions to be attacked. The most serious enterprise was that of Twiggs, who ad vanced against the main fort that commanded the Cerro. Nothing can be conceived more difficult than this undertaking. The steep and rough character of the ground, the constant fire of the enemy in front, and the cross fire of the forts and batteries, which en filated our lines, made the duty assigned to General Tvviggs one of surpassing difficulty. Nothing pre vented our men from being utterly destroyed but the steepness of the ascent under which they could shel ter. But they sought no shelter, and onward rushed against a hailstorm of balls and musket shot, led by the gallant Harney, whose noble bearing eli cited the applause of the whole army. Hi s conspicuous and stalwart frame at the head of the brigade, his long arm waving his men on to the charge, his sturdy voice ringing above the clash of arms and din of conflict, attracted the attention and admiration alike of the enemy and the army. on, on he led the columns, whose front lines melted before the enemy's fire like snow flakes in a torrent, and stayed not their course until, leaping over the rocky barriers and bayoneting . their gunners, they drove the enemy pell-mell from the front, delivering a deadly fire into their ranks from their own guns as they hastily retired. This was truly a gallant deed, worthy 0f the Chevalier Bayard of our army, as the intrepid llarney is well styled. General Scott, between ..hone and Colonel Harney there had existed some coolness, rode up to the Colonel after this achievement and remarked to him, " Colonel Harney, I cannot now adequately express my admiration of your gallant achievement; but at the proper time I shall take great pleasure in thanking you in proper terms." Harney, with the modesty of true valour, claimed the praise as due to his officers and men. Thus did the division of the gallant veteran Twiggs carry the main position of the enemy, and occupy the fort which com manded the road. It was here the enemy received their heaviest loss, and their general, Vasquez, was killed. A little after, General Worth, having by great exertions passed the steep and craggy heights on the enemy's left, summoned a strong fort on the rear of the Cerro to surrender. This fort was manned by a large force under General Pinzon, a mulatto officer of considerable ability and courage, who, seeing the Cerro carried, thought prudent to surrender, which he did with all his force. General Shields was not so fortunate in the battery which he attacked, and which was commanded by General La Vega. A heavy fire was opened on him, under which the fort was carried with some loss by the gallant Illinoisians, under Baker and Bennett, supported by the New Yorkers, under Burnett. Among those who fell under this fire was the gallant general, who received a grape shot through his lungs, by which he was completely paralysed, and at the last accounts was in a lingering state. On the enemy's right Ge neral Pillow commenced the attack against the strong forts near the river. The Tennesseans, under Has kill, led the column, and the other volunteer regiments followed. The column unexpectedly encountered a heavy fire from a masked battery, by which Haskill's regiment was nearly cut to pieces, and the other vo lunteer regiments were severely handled. General Pillow withdrew his men and was preparing for ano ther attack when, the oparations at the other points having proved successful, the enemy concluded to sur render. Thus the victory was complete, and four generals and about 6,000 men were taken prisoners by our army, and one of their principal generals and a large number of other officers killed. The Mexican force on this occasion certainly exceeded our own. The Mexicati officers admitted that Santa Anna had had 8,000 men in the lines, and 6,000, including 2,000 lancers, outside of the entrenchments. General Scott's force was about 8,000, General Quitman's brigade not having arrived in time to take part in the engagement. General Ampudia was second in com mand of the Mexicans and superintended the opera ions of the enemy. When the Cerro was carried he was seen retreating on a fine white charger, his hat falling off as he galloped away. Many of the Mexi cans escaped by a bye path which funs off from the - --- ------ main road roaa between the Cerro and the fort carried by General Worth. As to Santa A nna an d C ana li zo , they retreated in time to escape by the main road. Their conduct is regarded as most cowardly. Some of the Mexican officers who were taken p risonersdo not hesitate to attribute their defeat to the cowardice of Santa Anna. The force of the enemy was composed of their best soldiers. The infantry that fought so well at Buena Vista, all the regular artillerists of the Re public, including several able naval officers, were present. Some of the officers whom General Scott rsleased at the capitulation of Vera Cruz, without extorting the parole on account of their gallantry, were found among the killed and wounded. A gallant young officer, named Halzinger, a German by birth, who extorted the admiration of our army in the bombardment of Vera Cruz by seizing a flag which was cut down by our balls and holding it up in his hands until a staff could be prepared, had been released by General Scott without a parole. He was found among the desperately wounded at Cerro Gordo. The enemy's loss (in killed and wounded) was about as large as our own; but in addition to this the loss of some 6,000 prisoners and some of their best officers. Our army captured about 30 pieces of beautiful brass cannon of large calibre and mostly manufactured at the Royal Foundry of Seville. A large quantity of fixed am munition of very superior quality was also taken. The private baggage and money chest of Santa Anna, containing 20,000 dollars, was also captured. The latter was delivered over to the Pay department. The volunteers who were employed in carrying the specie into camp cracked many a joke over the prospect of being so soon paid off in Mexican coin and free of ex pence to Uncle Sam. When our forces had carried the various positions of the enemy and the road was cleared, General Ti,viggs started in hot pursuit of the fugitive Santa pressed close upon his heels. A strong Anna, and position, five miles west of Cerro Gordo, fortified and defended by a battery of long brass guns, was abandoned by the enemy and occupied by our troops. PRICE; 5-Ti?.

In c , includiog our imperfect sketch of this brilliant achievement, we cannot sufficiently express our ad miration of the extraordinary deeds of our gallant, army and ably General.

LOSS OE THE SPLEADiII SIEAMER, AM BASSADOR BY FIRE ON THE .61ISSIt,- SIPPL The St. Louis Republican furnishes thq followinz particulars of the burning of the steamer Ambas. sador " The boat, on her passage to New Orleans, vet:lnd.-if at Carroll's Island, just below Jefferson Barracks. lay in that position until April 26, four o'clock, when, with the assistance of the Tobacco Plant, and Edo, taking out a great portion of lit r cargo, she was re lieved, and proceeded to take in her cargo. " Her freight consisted of corn, wheat, some 300 or 400 bales of hemp, and a quantity of flour. Th-i continued to take in cargo at night, and abut ten o'clock a candle fell from its place and immediately commale cated to a bale of hemp in the held. Great efforts w,v, made to stop the progress of the fire, but the wer- ui availing. "Meanwhile the officers of the Tobacco Plant, winch waS alongside, rendered all the assistance possible in removing the furniture -of the burning boat, while the flames were confined below.- _ " Finding all efforts fruitless, the magnificent steamer was cut adrift, and soon was a mass of flame: Sbe again grounded near the place of the first disaster, are there burned to near the water's edge. " It is estimated that about 5,000 sacks of grain wer, still on shore, and the Tobacco Plant had some 200 bsh of hemp on her deck. The cattle on the guards of the boat all escaped, and made their way to the shore. " Still as the boat was very heavily freighted—pro bably to the extent of 700 or 800 tons—the loss of cargo must be very great. The loss of the boat is equally severe. She was a splendid vessel, finished as &passenger boat, and intended for the cotton trade. " She was worth, it is supposed, 20,000 dollars, ar,? there was insurance only to the amount of 8,000 dollars Captain Brenham was the principal, if not the sole owner. " We cannot hear of the loss of any lives, but the deck passengers, of whom there were a- great many, lost everything which they possessed. They were taken on board the Tobacco Plant, and brought to this city, and yet remain on her." SUN, THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—By the arrival off this part this morning of the Prince of Wales Indiaman. Captain Hopkins, from Calcutta, we have advices from the CAp• to the 6th ult., upwards of a week later than the last advices. The Prince of Wales has only been 93 days at sea.

His Excellency reached that point on th, evening of Friday, as also several of the burgher con' tingents, and amongst them the levy from Lower Albany. On Saturday his Excellency reviewed these new levies, and also a body of about 300 Fingoes. The latter eased before him in single file, after which they exhibited their mode of attack, closing the proceedings with a r dance. On Sunday his Excellency attended divin.• service in the Wesleyan chapel at D'Urban. It is un• derstood that the troops would make a forward movt.- ment, from Fort Peddie, on Wednesday, towards Ki. p William's Town, whence a simultaneous movemot , would be made by the troops there, including the 1)r - goon Guards, towards the inemth of the Buffalo, where military station is about to be formed of 300 men.

Sir PETER LAURIE , as a me mber o f that Vestr y a nd s magistrate, was desirous of ascertaiturg what had been S V p e r s y t o y ceupied the chair. done with reference to the enormous overcharge of Marylebone to the county and police rates. He felt assured that the parish were entidcd to a reduction of 10 per cent. on their rack rents, and if that was carried out there would necessarily be a large diminution in their assessment to the'county and police rates, upon which subject they had so much right to complain. Mr. C. ELLIOT, another magistrate, considered this a most important matter. The Vestry ought to take it up upon. the broad question of why Marylebone should be subject to a higher assessment than any other parish in the county. Mr. H. C. WILSON said the principle of reducing the assessment was being every week partially carried out by the appeal board, where any immediatel who was assessed at his rack rent, %sari y rate- payer apply immediately re duced 10 per cent. of what transpired before the committee o f county report upon this subject, and be would move which it appeared theinformation.Vestry-clerk had, he b el ie ved, f • - o f the committee was, " that therateablevalue cou m S u i r r t . y P F m .

After some further discussion, it was resolved imme• diately to call the committee together, with a view to an entire revision of the assessment of the parish.
