They exhibit almost as striking an absence of the intelle:tual 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 eonfirrn to the full those " Tales of Travellers" which we have certainly been inclined to look upon with suspicion. We could scarcely have credited that such a race 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 Cape 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 aro in charge of 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. For particulars of the habits and disposition of the Bosjesmans, see Professor Leichtenstein's, Barchell's, Campbell's, Backhouse's, Methune's, and Motratt's Travels in South Africa.

This valuable medicine, which for nearly a century has maintained so high a reputation in Germany, and other parts of the Continent, as to have met with the protection of Imperial and Ba vazian privileges, can now be obtained in London. It was disco vered by Dr. Kiesow, an eminent physician of Augsburgh, and Counsellor to the King of Bavaria ; and as an effectual remedy in removing the various diseases incident to the abdominal viscera, it stands unparalleled. In all cases of dyspepsia or indigestion, which tend generally to headache, giddiness, or nervous debility, it yields Immediate relief.

CREMORNE.—Lessee, Mr. JAMES ELLIS. OPEN every Evening except Saturdays.--The public are respectfully informed that these delightful pleasure grounds, which last year obtained a celebrity unparalleled in the annals of public gardens, have this season been considerably enlar4ed, and will OPEN on WHIT-MONDAY, May 24, 1847. This being the birth-day of her reost Gracious Majesty, Mr. Green, the veteran mroeaut, will launch his new balloon Victoria, in honour of the occasion. During the recess a variety of alterations, regardless of cost, have been effected, all tending to the comfort and entertainment of the visitor, thus rendering Cremorne without a rival. Its present attrac tions may be thus described :—Grand River-side Entrance ; a splen did new entrance, fronting the river (from designs by Mr. B. Hur witz). modelled after the magnificent portal of the Jardin de Ma bille at Paris, and surmounted by a figure of Momus, has been erected. which, sash evening, will be brilliantly illuminated with gas, in a style embracing elegance and novelty of design, from which a charming walk, leading to the gardens, has been formed, orna mented with beautiful statuary, and interspersed with fragrant shrubs and exotics. The principal feature in the Gardens is the Grand Pagoda Orchestra, with an immense circular platform for dancing, capable of enabling 4,000 votaries of Terpsichore to ac complish each figure in the mazy dance. The orchestra will be nightly illuminated with myriads of jets of gas, forming a dazzling scene of enchantment, which will not only charm the eye and fasci nate the senses, but add fresh allurements to this modern fairy land. The trees surrounding this splendid" Salle de Danse " will be illumi nated after the style of the Chateau Rouge, at Paris, with magnificent gas chandeliers, thus creating that desideratum, a Casino d'Ete, con ducted by Laurent's unrivalled band of fifty performers, assisted by six masters of thb ceremonies ; vocal and Instrumental Concert. The lavender bowers and new Chinese walk will likewise present a coup d'oeil the most charming. The theatre has been entirely re-deco. rated, in which will be presented vaudevilles, musical entertain ments, and ballets. Grand Cosmoramic View of the city of Mexico, with panoramic and dioramic effects. The largest Achromatic Ca snore Obscura ever exhibited ; also electrical, electro-magnetic, and galvanic experiments ; athletic and other amusements, such as archery, rifle shooting, bowls, swings, maze, gipsies' tent, glass blowing exhibition, weighing-machine, the Cremorne poet , &c. &c. In addition to M. Laurent's band, a powerful Tyrolean Brass Band, conducted by Mr. J. Hill, will perform daily in the afternoon, com mencing at three o'clock. The Tavern Department has been placed under the entire direction of Mr. Charles Daws (late of the Albion), and the refreshments will be of the first quality, and at moderate charges.—Admission, One Shilling.

This excellent Family Pill is a medicine of long-tried efficacy for correcting all disorders of the Stomach and Bowels, the common symptoms of which are Costiveness, Flatulency, Spasms, Loss of Appetite, Sick . Head-ache, Giddiness, Sense of Fulness after meals, Dizziness of the Eyes, Drowsiness and Pains in the Stomach and Bowels ; Indigestion, producing a Torpid state of the Liver, and a consequent Inactivity of the Bowels, causing a disorganization of every flinction of the frame, will, in this most excellent preparation, by a little perseverance, be effectually removed. Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of its salutary effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength; a healthy action of the liver, bowels, and kidneys will rapidly take place; and instead of listlessness, heat, pain, and jaundiced appearance, strength, activity, and renewed health will be the quick result of taking this medicine, according to the directions accompanying each box. These Pills are particularly efficacious for Stomach Coughs, Colds, Agues, Shortness of Breath, and all Obstructions of the Urinary Passages; aud, if taken after too free an indulgence at table, they quickly restore the system to its natural state of repose. Persons of a Full Habit, who are subject to Head-ache, Giddiness, Drowsiness, and Singing in the Ears, arising from too great a flow of Blood to the Head, should never be without them, as many dan gerous symptoms will be entirely carried off by their immediate use. For Females, these Pills are most truly excellent, removing all obstructions, the distressing Head-ache so very prevalent with the sex; Depression of Spirits, Dulness of Sight, Nervous Affections, Blotches, Pimples, and Sallowness of the Skin, and give a healthy and juvenile bloom to the complexion. To Mothers they are confidently recommended as the best medi cine that can be taken during pregnancy ; and for children of all ages they are unequalled. • As a pleasant, safe, and easy Aperient, they unite the recom mendation of a mild operation with the most successful effect, and perer theyoe qmd. sl a n odbr grx e eca n Toatb o hmaniTee r nde. e restraint u r udr a ei int of diet, or confine in ment during their use.

GOLD, SILVER, DIAMONDS, PEARLS, and all the most precious and costly gems, are imitated to such perfection, that but very few uninitiated persons can positively tell a paste brooch or a ring from a diamond, the real pearl from the imitation, or German Silver from the genuine ; but put them into the hands of the connoisseur, how soon the delusion vanishes when he affirms they are but vile and base imitations. So it is with the most valuable inventions as well as stones and metals. None but the inimitable in value are imitated in appearance, and as soon as the consumer (the best connoisseur) attempts to use them, how soon he finds out their utter uselessness. Thus it is with the most valuable of all I iventions ; the celebrated METALLIC RAZOR TABLET of GEORGE SAUNDERS has been the target for imitation for the last thirty years. To Gentlemen who shave themselves the following query is pro posed.—Why do all the first cutlers in Europe use and recommend Saunders' Four-sided Tablet Razor Strop ? The answer is simply because it is the only one that gives to a razor a keen and smooth edge. DEPOT, 278, STRAND. To wholesale purchasers a liberal discount will be made.

Address, ROSS and SONS, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street, London ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL Is celebrated throughout the world for its genial and nour ishing qualities for the Human Hair! It produces and restores hair ; stops it from falling off or turning grey ; restores Gray Hair to its original colour; frees it from scurf and dandriff, and renders it soft, silky, curly, and glossy. For Children, it is especially recommended as forming the basis of a Beautiful Head of Hair, and ren dering the use of the fine comb unnecessary. Its invaluable properties have obtained the especial Patronage of her Majesty the Queen, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the whole of the Royal Family, and of every Court of the civil ised world ; and the high esteem in which it is universally held, to gether with numerous Testimonials constantly received of its efficacy, afford the best and sarest proofs of its merits.

Caution.—On the Wrapper of each Bottle of the Genuine Article are these words, in TWO lines, " ROWLANDS' MACCASSAR OIL." Sold by the Proprietors, at 20, Hatton-garden, London; and by all Chemists and Perfumers. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—BOTANIC WATER AND BEAR'S GREASE.—When the hair is becoming thin and falling off, the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use of the two above-named articles, applied alternately, the botanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf and as a sti mulant, and the bear's grease as a nourisher. If any further evidence was required of the virtues of bear's grease for reno vating and preserving the hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of the North American Indians would be a sufficient answer.— Ross and Son's, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate- street, who first introduced the use of bear's grease in this country, and who fat and kill the animals, recommend the public to purchase none other but with their names and address printed on the pot, or the chances are they are obtaining a spurious ar ticle. All vegetable oils applied to the hair are worse than useless. How seldom do we feel, perceive, or think of the small beginnings of disease which surround and operate upon us in our enjoyments and intercourse with the world. " The young disease, which must subdue at length, Grows with our growth, and strengthens with our strenth."

Although the assemblage on the Downs to-day, to see the Oaks decided, was, by many thousands, less nu merous than on Wednesday, it was considerably larger than on the last day of bygone meetings ; an improve ment equally the consequence of the extreme fleetness , of the weather, and of the facility the opening of the Epsom line afforded the citizens to visit the course at I convenient hour, without any reasonable dread of a re currence of the confusion of Wednesday. Similar con fusion, we are glad to say, did not occur, and well filled trains kept arriving up to the last moment. bringing partics in the nick of time, evidently pleased with the new accommodation. The South-Western line brought down within a hurn4red or two, yesterday and on Wednesday, of the number it did on the same days last year. Vehicles by the turnpike roads were nume rous, and containing a large number of the fairer sex. contributed much to the pleasantness of the scene The " ring" was formed as usual in the morning, in front of the Spread Eagle, and some few bets wert laid; the only movements, however, of ant consequence were on Clementina and Slander, who were at a very general demand at improved prices. A similar feeling was shown on th, course, Alsatia also improved, and Ellerdale, after being greatly at a discount, came with a rus h at the last, axle closed at five points less than was currently offered an hour before. With regard to the Farmer's Daughter who was scratched at half-past eight o'clock in th. morning, we should mention that a rumour in afloat tt the effect, that her sudden disappearance from the betting arose ,from lameness, caused by an injury inflicted, purposely, with the intention of making her "safe." John Day, we understand, has obtained a clu' to the principals. We regret to add that the suspicion of foul play is not confined to the Danebury stable. In concluding our notices of the week's proceedings we can say that throughout, the regulations, except on th( first day, when so much time was lost, they were carried into effect satisfactorily. The arrangements of Mr Lumley, the new caterer for the grand stand, and of hit chef de cuisne, Mr. Davis, were characterised by great taste and judgment. The weather was magnificent, but though it drew to the course a far more than the usual number of the middle class, it failed to attract to th( grand stand more than a moderate collection et female rank and fashion. It seems evident, iudeed, that increase' railway accommodation will impair Epsom as a rendez vous of the beau monde, whilst it will make it a vastl3 mole frequented one for all the other classes. The onl) Furious coincidence of the week was that the sane, Jockey (Templeman) won both the great events, singe larly ag ree i ng w i th the fact, very unusual, that another jockey (S. Day) carried e ac h o f t h em o ff l ast y ear . e subjoin a sketch of the day's sport, which, trop the profusion of heat s , was not b rought to a close unit nearly clght o'clock ! Pity t h at at a great meeting lilt.this such abominations as heats should be tolerated. SCOTCH SEQUESTRATIONS.

(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE TIiE TRING, READING, AND BASINGSTOKE RAILWAY COMPAN Y. This was a meeting for passing the last examination of the gentlemen who were appointed to make out the balance-sheet. Mr. RICHARDSON, for a shareholder, observed, that he held the Bill presented by this company to Parliament, and by that Bill it appeared that there were fife directors, who were to receive five shares each, and there was no mention of that circumstance in the balance-sheet, upon which they now sought to pass their last exami nation. Mr. E JAMES, for the directors, said that they must receive five shares each, in order to qualify them, and in the present case the deposits upon them were never paid, but, however, it did not affect the balance—that was the best the bankrupts could give. Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD--Yes, but it may not be satisfactory to the Court. Mr. RICRARDSON submitted that there ought to be an adjournment of the case, in order to enable the share holders to make further inquiry. Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD refused to grant the ad journ men t. Mr. JAMES remarked that in point of fact this gentle man was a bankrupt, instead of a creditor. Mr. DUNCAN interposed by stating that this client (Mr. Atkinson) was a creditor who had proved his debt, and would ask the bankrupts a few questions.' Mr. LAWRANCE, for the assignees, must object to Mr. Duncan being beard, on the ground that his client had re ceived 20s. in the pound, and 4 per cent. interest. Mr. DUNCAN replied that there was a small balance due to Mr. Atkinson by the bankruptsovbieh was unpaid. The Hon. F. H. Berkeley (one of the bankrupts) wished to state that with respect to the five shares before al luded to, the deposits upon them were never paid, and therefore the balance-sheet was correct. Mr. Everill, solicitor to the company, corroborated ,his statement. Mr. OGLE then rose to address the Court on behalf of a scripholder, when Mr. LAWRANCE objected, that a scripholder had no locus sta.ndi in this court to oppose. Mr. OGLE having referred to the cases of Walstab v. Spottiswoode, and Wontner v. Sharp, referring to the arguments there used, submitted that he had a right to be heard. Mr. LAWRANCE observed that if the Learned Counsel was in a position to prove, he might be heard, because he was either a creditor or a bankrupt. Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD could not allow Mr. Ogle to be heard. Mr. LAWRANCE stated that it was intended to super sede this fiat. All the creditors would receive 20s. in the pound, and it was highly necessary to look into the proofs, because this case must be dealt with as all other bankruptcy cases. Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD—Certainly. The Hon. F. H. Berkeley was then examined, and stated that he was Member for Bristol, and had become a director of the Tring Railway, but upon whose request he could not now charge his memory. He had not re ceived anything from the company from first to last. He never had an allotment of shares, but had received money from the company for his services as director and chairman, although he had not attended so punctually as he ought, and upon the retirement of the former chair man, he (Mr. Berkeley) was completely thrust into the situation, notwithstanding that he had previously refused it. He was not aware of the amount he had received for his services, but, however, it was small. Mr. Graham, the official assignee, stated it to be 651. 2s. Examination continued—The company had capital sufficient for a small portion of the scheme, which they went to Parliament upon. It was a bond fide line, re ceiving the approbation of the landowners. After the Bill was committed, Mr. Duncombe's resolution respect. ing railways was passed, which gave a right to the share holders to stop the company before going to the Com mittee, and they directed that the Bill should be drawn, and it was done so. The result was, the bankrupt ap peared at this court. The balance-sheet now before the Court was the best which could be rendered, and he had no notion of concealment or keeping anything back. Mr. GRAHAM stated that there appeared by the ba lance• sheet to have been 200 shares allotted to Mr. Berkeley. Examination resumed—Most certainly not upon his application, and he was never informed that any such allotment had taken place. lie had never traded or sold any shares, although he had had ample opportunity, be cause shares were at a premium. _ Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD—Did you know that these shares were allotted to you ? The Hon. F. H. Berkeley—No, sir, I did not. Mr. JAMES—Have you been in communication with the official assignee ? The Hon. F. H. Berkeley—Yes. Mr. JAMES—Have you given up all the papers, and made the best account:of the company's affairs you can? The Hon. F. H. Berkeley— Yes, to the best of my knowledge. Mr. GRANAM then referred to a memorandum in the balance-sheet respecting the allocation of 875 shares. They were placed in tho hands of Messrs. Hill and Everill. Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD—And there are only 490 shares accounted for ? Mr. GuamAm—Messrs. 11111 and Everill were cre ditors to the company, and have a large claim. They ought to debit themselves with the deposits on 385 shares, being the difference between the 490 paid on and the 875 allotted. Mr. JAMES stated the shares alluded to were never accepted, and were now_ in court. Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD—Were they not ac cepted so as to make a person liable ? Mr. JAMES—No, sir. Mr. COOKE, for Mr. Saunders, then tendered a proof for upwards of 1,0001., which was admitted._ _ _ . , Mr. DuNcAN wished to state that he had not the slightest objection to the Hon. F. H. Berkeley. After some further discussion, The bankrupts passed their last examination. COURT OF EXCISE, May 21. (Before T. HARRISON, Esq., H. F. STEPHENSON, Esq and CHARLES Ross, Esq.) Thomas Connor, of No. 22, Wilk - street, S pitalfields, was charged with having in his possession an illicit still. Mr. Hughes, an officer of Excise , pro v ed finding a still fitted up at the top of the house named in the infor mation, with a quantity of molasses wash, and the usual utensils for distillation, which he seized, and conveyed the same to this office. The defendant said he knew nothing whatever of the business that wascarried on, nor were the premises in his occupation. He let them to a person some time ago, who regularly paid him rent for them, and he produced the rent-boob, with the sums entered that he received from the occupier. The COURT inquired why he did not bring his lodger with him? The defendant replied, that he did not know where to find him. For himself, he was but a weaver, and could bring a character from his employer, with whom he had bee n for the last five or six years. The COURT gave judgment in the penalty of 501., and condemned the seizure. John Wilson, a seaman, employed on board the Vic toria Leith steamer, was charged with attempting to remove i a quantity of spirits, with intent to defraud her Majesty of the j dutythereon. ,_ The COURT g,711 ,, ? judgment, in the penalty of 251., and condemned the spirits. Thomas Curtis. of the W ateTioo-road, coffee.:;h:.p keeper, was convicted in the penalty of 751. for retailing spirits and beer without a license.

Sir J. Hawley declared to win with Miami. The start took place two or three minutes after the appointed time, and it is almost needless to add, was all that could be desired. Miami took the lead, Cosachia second, fol lowed by Luminous, Ellerdale, Clementina, and Slander, several others lying up. This order continued only to the top of the hill, the running then being taken up by Cossachia, Ellerdale and Miami following her, with Slander, Lady Lift, and Luminous at their heels. They came thus to the road, when Miami recovered her lead, Ellerdale immediately after taking the third position, and Clementina the fourth. The change in this order was that Clementina defeated Eller dale half way up the distance, but was unable to reach Miami, who was landed a very clever winner by a length; the same between the second and third, Cossa chia fourth; Caststeel filly fifth, and Slander sixth. Maniac, Vanity, and several others were tailed of The pace was good all the way. Value of the stakes 4,1251. Time, 2 min. 54 sec.

The horses having started before the proper time for the fourth heat, passed the Winning chair before the judge had entered it ; how ever, he was close to it, and had no difficulty in placing the horses. Mr. O'Brien expressed some dissatisfaction at this, but, on being informed by Mr. Clarke that he was quite near enough to decide, he declined to make any objection, and claimed the winner. After the first heat of the next race had been run , Mr. Theobald claimed a fresh start for the fourth heat, but there being no stewards present, the matter is left in abeyance.

Third heat—Even on Glory, 5 to 2 agst Widred, and 3 to 1 agst Subduer. Won by a length. The withdrawal of Glory after the third beat, excited some thing more than surprise, and the conduct of his owner was spoken of in terms of the strongest indignation ; one gentleman, indeed, declared his intention not to pay on the race, and the matter is very likely to come in some shape before the stewards. To complete the irregularity of the proceeding, Wakefield walked ovt r with Subduer, without waiting for either starter or judge. BETTING ON THE COURSE: 13T.

PORTSMOUTH, MAY ,late appointment ante' promotion of Mr. Watts and Mr. Mallard have given general satisfaction, those officers having been engaged in the arduous duty of extricating the Sphynx. But there are yet several who assisted equally in that onerous work, - and contributed Much to - the honourable and gratifying result, who have gone without their reward. No one'worked harder, or set a better example, than Lieutenant Andrew Thompson, late of the Vie;ory. On the last occasion of his being dispatched to the wi eck he was so seriously injured by his exertions as to be inca pacitated from din - charging his- duties as second lieute nant of the Victory, compelled to invalid from the ship and subsequentiy to give up his appointment. The Butidog `team-sloop, Commander Key, is ordered to prepare for .ailing to-morrow to Lisbon, with answers to the dispatches she brought yesterday. The Juno, 26, Captain Blake, was at Otaheite on the 10th of January, a letter of which date states that place to be much qukter than it had been for some months past. " Most of the chiefs," says our letter, came in from the mountains and surrendered to the French the day betbre yesterday the anniversary on . which thty made their first Uttack on this place.
