TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and a BABY, of theBOSIESI or BUSH T.:113E, from the iaterlor ot South Africa, a race from their wild habits, could never before be indu , ed to a that,i of civilization. This opportunity of gratifying the man of enc c e e and the student in zoology kas only been obtained by great personal exertion on the part of the gentlemen who have brought them to England, at an immense outlay of capital. On the passage to Europe a baby was born at sea, thus adding to the great interest that must be excited by their appearance. From tho Liverpool Journal : —"Bosjesmans, or Bush People, from Southern Africa—lnterestim; specimens of a most extraordinary race of human beings have been landed in our Dort; the are the liosjes 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 border ng the Great Orange River, 1,200 or 1 400 miles from Cape Town. They exhihit almost as striking an absence of the ititelle tual or higher faculties as is observable in the skull of that mockery of numanity, the Baboon, while the preponderance ot 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 su.picion. We cool l 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 folowing extract from a Cape Town Paper of the 24th December, which we have just re • calved:—" 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 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, Me:butte's, and Moffatt's Travels in South Africa. _ Admission One Shilling, and Reserved Seats Two Shillings and Sixpence. ESSENCE OF LIFE.I 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 varian privileges, can now be obtained in London. It was disco vered by Dr. Kiesow, an eminent physician of Augshurgh, 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. further particulars may be learnt in a Medical Treatise, gratis, twos its uses, at the depht, 46, Upper Charlotte-street, Fitzroy square, where it is sold in bottle's; at 2s. 6d—and - 4s. 61.--cach ; and of Messrs.

Price Is. 1 j,d. per box. '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 Bead-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 Inactiv.ty of the Bowels, causing a disorganization of every function 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 l'assages ; 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 imme4iate use. For Females, these Pills are most truly excellent, removing all obstructions, the distressing Ilead-ache so very prevalent with the sex; Depression of Spirits, Dulness of Sight, Nervous Affections, Blotches, Pimples, and Sallowness of the akin, 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 require no restraint of diet, er confinement during their use. By re gulating the dose, according to the age and strength of the patient, they become suitable for every case, in either sex, that can be re quired ; and for Elderly People they will be found to be the most comfortable medicine hitherto prepared.

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 (tha best connoisseur) attempts to use them, how soon he ends out their utter uselessness. Thus it is with the most valuable of all inventions ; 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 usq and recommend Saunders' Four-sided Tablet Razor Strop ?

GROUP XXXVI. The Chairman and the other members of the Committee met to-day. EAST LANCASHIRE (SOUTHPORT BRANCH AND PRESTON EXTENSION). Mr. BRANDT having briefly opened the case for the pro moters of the Bill, the following evidence was adduced : Mr. Ascroff, a solicitor, was examined, and stated that he thought a deviation of the line would be injurious. He could not tell whether this line of railway would or would not affect injuriously a considerable portion of Mr. Norris's property, as he did not know the extent of that property. Mr. Manchester, of Preston, examined—Was acquainted with the present station, which was much crowded, and he had no doubt that improved accommodation for traffic was required in the neighbourhood. It would be of great advan tage to the public to have the direct line to Liverpool. Cross-examined by Mr. CALVERT—He thought the con fusion which he spoke of at the present station could not be remedied merely by an increase of its area. Rintler, an innkeeper, resident three and a half miles from Preston, was examined, and corroborated the testimony of the preceding witnesses, having experienced much incon venience at the present station at Preston. Some further evidence on this point was adduced, when the Committee decided that they had heard enough. Mr. CALVERT addressed the Committee on the part of the opponents of the Bill, and some evidence was adduced in their behalf to prove residential injury. The Committee then adjourned till Monday week. GROUP XXXVII. TORE AND NORTH MIDLAND (HARRO GATE BRANCH. BOROUGHBRIDGE AND XNARESBOILOITGH EXTENSION). The Committee to which this line is referred met to-day at twelve o'clock. Mr. Birkenshaw, the engineer, was called and briefly examined, with a view of correcting one or two errors which had been adduced accidentally - in evidence on the examina tion of Mr. Bourne. Mr. Buss, on the part of the opposition, having produced and handed in a formal proof of the assents and dissents along the line, ➢ir. BAINES, on the part of the promoters of the Leeds and Thirek Company, then addressed the Committee in reply upon the evidence. The Committee adjourned shortly after four o'clock. GROUP XXXIX. The Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock; Lord Charles Wellesley iu the chair. LEEDS AND THIRSX (EXTENSIONS TO NEWCASTLE). Major Burn, superintendent of the collieries of the Marquis of Londonderry, and several other witnesses gave evidence as to the inconvenience of the monopoly. as they termed it, of Mr. Hudson's line from York to Newcastle, stating that coals had now to pay ai much as threehalfperice per ton per mile for carriage in consequence. As there was no accom modation for the press it is impossible to report the pro ceedings iu GROUP XLIV. The Committee met at eleven; Mr. B. Denison in the chair. SCOTTISH MIDLAND JUNCTION (AMEND MENTS AND BRANCH TO LAURENCE KUM). The CitAxamAN, after the Committee had deliberated, de• dared the preamble proved. The clauses were then mid and agreed to. ARBROATH AND FORFAR AND SCOTTISH MIDLAND CONNECTING. MoxciaxtrF opened the merits of this Bill, which, he said, was for a short junction effecting a batter connexion between the Arbroath and Forfar and the Scottish Alidland, se as to avoid backing the through traffic in order to get on the Scottish Midland. Mr. Gibbs, civil engineer, said the object of the proposed connexion was to offer a more convenient connexion between the two lines of railway. The length of the projected line W 213 two miles and two furlongs, almost throughout on a level, and the estimated expense was 36,000/. Mr. Cubitt approved of the present line for the in tended object; but he thought there might be a better pro ject than either. This excited some conversation on both sides as to the propriety of a mutual understanding and compromise be tween the Arbroath and Forfar, who promoted the Bill, and their opponents, the Scottish Midlands. After some deliberation on both sides, The Committee adjourned till Tuesday, the Ist of June, at twelve o'clock, that parties might have time for mutual consultation with a view to a Bill next session. GROUP XLV. This Committee met at twelve o'clock, in Room:28 ; Sir Denis Le Marchant, chairman. Examitractir and OILTIFIERIC ovaamcnzs TO ST. AND REV/ S and NEWIIUIt GEO • John Alexander, road surveyor, examined.—The proposed railway would completely alter the present roads. That at Colinsburgh would be carried over the railway at an eleva tion of 28 feet 8 inches. He considered that the line as pro posed to he laid down would be of no great benefit to the public, and that the mode of carrying it on an elevated em bankment was attended with considerable danger. Mr. NIITCHELL., one of the magistrates of Cupar, spoke to the general feeling of opposition to the scheme which actuated the people of Cupar, and to the danger which would accrue from the high embankment which would be necessary for the purpose of carrying the roadway over the railway. Mr. Heriot, convenor of the Statute Labour Committee, corroborated the evidence given by Mr. Alexander. This closed the case. Mr. HOPE shortly replied for the Company. The room was then ordered to be cleared, and on the re admission of parties, The CHAIRMAN stated that the Committee could not express their decision in the absence of the report of the Railway Commissioners. EDINBURGH AND NORTHERN (TAT infant tVEntrAWTS, 44430 Mr. Sergeant Bar. Lasts opened for the promoters- The , object of the Bill was to obtain powers to build piers, ic., on the ferry from Port-on-Craig on the south, to Broughly on the north of the Tay, so as to preserve in its entirety the Edinburgh and Northern Railway. The Learned Counsel having explained the details of the Bill, proceeded to examine witnesses. The Committee heard one witness on general evidence, and then adjourned till Friday, the 28th inst. GROUP XLVI. NORTH nExTxsu RAILWAY (No. I.) Evidence was called on behalf of Mr. Miller to show thta the proposed line would affect seriously his property, and that the proposed line wou l d pass through upwards of 200 acres of his ground, over the whole of which water-courses had been constructed at considerable expense, and the benefits of which would be entirely destroyed by making the pro posed line. Mr. TALBOT then addressed the Committee on behalf of the promoters of the Bill. At the conclusion of his address, The Committee intimated that in consequence of one of the Bills, properly speaking opposing this line, having been by mistake referred to Mr. Greene, the Committee would give no decision until the Bill bad been brought before them. The Committee accordingly adjourned till after the holidays. GROUP XLVIII. The Committee m et to-da y at twelve o'clock ; Lord Courte nay in the chair. All the other members were p resent.

Caledonian T ii e Conip a terminusny, wou 1 a b e now con- Bill was then taken. Mr. Collister, C. E., examined, and de p ose d that he was 1 at the south side of the river, and the main line would be opened in about Nove mber next. The p resent scheme would i t l h e e c t r e e d s i v. d . e i t n h t thep e, cross their main line o n the level. There w ere two lines of rails of the Caledonian at the p oint of cro ssing, on which all engineerlo : f a t n h d e the traffic would have to go, and consequently there would be considerable danger. In order to make such a crossing at all eligible, they ought to have several lines of rails - bastead' of two; but this they could not have without rebuilding their bridges and making considerable alterations. They had not room for such an alteration at present. The distance from the point of crossing the Caledonian, on the level, to the Central Junction r unning on to the Polloc and Govan, was but ninety yards, so that a moderately long train would block up both lines, and great danger would be incurred. Mr. Locke, C.E., corroborated the evidence of the pre vious witness. This closed the evidence for the Caledonian Company. Mr. Sergeant blunrilY replied on behalf of that company MAY 22, 1847. against the Bill. He said the general objections to the scheme had been so well stated by Mr. Austin that he would not refer to them. He would confine himself to the inter section of the Caledonian line, and he submitted that no case had been made for such an interference. The crossing would take place on the Caledonian main line on the level, a junction which would be attended with great danger and difficulty. Under the best circum stances, with a united management, such junctions were de cidedly objectionable, but they were much more so when the companies were independent, and when there would be the leading traffic of both companies continually passing and repassing. The Learned Gentleman having amplified on these points, concluded by calling on the Committee to reject the preamble of the Bill. Mr. \VUATELEY replied on behalf of Mr. Dixon, iron. master. The Committee then adjourned till to•morrow, when Mr. Andrew will reply. COMMITTEE on PRIVATE BILLS. (YESTERDAY.) THAMES CONSERVANCY. The Committee on this Bill met to-day in Room 6; Mr. Ward in the chair. After some discussion the preamble of the Bill was agreed to. LIVERPOOL GAS COMPANY. LIVERPOOL GUARDIAN GAS COMPANY. ASHTON GAS COMPANY. The Committee to whom these opposing Bills had hew) referred met this day, in Room 8, at the usual hour, for the dispatch of public liminess •' Captain Mangles in the chair. The Liverpool Guardian Gas Company is a new company, which sought power to borrow one hundred thousand pounds at seven and a half per cent., and undertook to supply gas at as. 8d : per hundred cubic feet. The old company sought powers to borrow two hundred thousand pounds at ten per cent., undertaking, as heretofore, to supply gas at 4s. 6d. per cubic feet. After some negotiation between the parties, the Bill of the Guardian Company was withdrawn, and the Committee passed the Bill of the Liverpool Gas Company.

PRICE SD. FIRE ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. On Thursday afternoon, shortly before 1 o'clock, con siderable confusion was caused upon the Great Western Railway, in the immediate vicinity of Hanwell, about seven miles from London, by the following occurrence: —From inquiries made on the spot it appeared that sumo time after the 12 o'clock down train had passed the ilanwell station, smoke was to be seen issuing in dense bodies from the bridge which crosses the Ux bridge-road. An instant alarm was raised, and infor mation of the fact was dispatched to London. Before, however, any one had time to get down the centre of the bridge, it burst forth into a general blaze. The various hands employed at the Southall and Es'ing stations went to the spot, and did all they possibly could to get the fire subdued, but it having previously worked into the bars and joistings cross they were unable, for a long time, to do more than keep the flames from mount mg into the air. Whilst they were thus engaged the 1 o'clock down train came along, but it was not allowed to get near the bridge, and was detained some distance on the line. After much trouble the fire was extinguished, but not until the bridge was burned through, and so injured that no train could pass over it either on the up or down lines. This of course caused the utmost confusion and delay; persons who wanted to get to London were obliged to wait until the down trains came along, and then they were shifted from the up trains to the down-trains, the space between being performed on foot. This took up considerable time, and most of the passengers, upon reaching Paddington, found that they were nearly an hour and a half behind their proper t►me. It is, however, exceedingly fortunate that the discovery was so opportunely made; had it not been perceived before the arrival of the one o'clock train, which does not stop at the station, it is quite probable that the weight of the engines and carriages would have forced the bridge in. Up to ten o'clock in the evening, although an immense number of men had been employed all the day, the bridge was not sufficiently repaired to allow the trains to pass over, and the passengers were then obliged to be shifted from one train to another. It was, however, expected :that before midnight the line would be perfectly clear. How the fire originated is a mystery; some of the officials are of opinion that it might have been caused by a piece of burning coke falling from the engines of the twelve o'clock down train, while others say it was the work of an incendiary. The bridge was little more than twenty.five feet wide, by eighteen or twenty feet long; the loss, therefore, is not of a serious character. ATTEMPTED ROBBERY IN A BANK AT MANCHESTER. On Monday morning last, at the Borough Sessions, Manchester, a somewhat important case was tried, that of John Cleveland, who was charged on one indictment with stealing notes to the amount of 2701. the property of Henry Graves; and, on another, with attempting to steal the same notes. The prisoner, a young man of unassuming appearance, had been classed by rumour as one of the swell mob, though his appearance indicated rather to the contrary. Some sensation was created in court by the appearance, for the defence, of Mr. Ballantine, whose frequent suc cessful advocacy at the Old Bailey, for criminals there indicted, has rendered his name so well known through out the country. Mr. Pollock conducted the prosecu tion: Mr. Peter Burke being joined with Mr. Ballantine in the defence. The facts of the case were these :—The prosecutor, Graves, went to the bank of Messrs. Jones, Lloyd, and Co., there to change a cheque of 2711., and got two notes for 100 L, one for 50/., and one for 201. ; these notes, having examined them, he folded up and put them into his coat pocket, in which were a pah of gloves, a knife, and a piece of ivory. He was in the act of taking the remainder of the change from the counter, when he felt a pull at his coat, and heard the rattle in his pocket of the piece of ivory. This at once attracted his attention, and in turning round he saw the prisoner close to him, with his hand close to the pocket in which the notes had been put. One of the gloves was hanging out of the pocket, and in the prisoner's hand were the notes and other glove together. The prisoner pushed back the notes into the pocket again, and then Graves caught him by the collar, on which he said, " I beg your par don." The prisoner, on being charged with the rob bery, pulled out a number of sovereigns and spread on the counter; that showed that be had money, though he had not received them at the bank, nor had he transacted any business there on that day. After he put the sovereigns on the table he went out in a great hurry, and as he left he was heard to say something about fetching somebody to speak to his character and to make all right ; but he was fol lowed out and taken at a public-house. On these facts Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Burke contended that there was not such a removal of the property as to constitute lar ceny, and the Recorder being of the same opinion, after hearing Mr. Pollock in reply, directal an acquittal for the felony. Mr. Bollantine then traversed the charge of misde meanor to the next sessions, and thus the matter rests. —Manchester Courier. FALL OF A RAILWAY BRIDGE. Flt Ri ACCIDENT.—We regret to have to state that at about twelve o'clock on Thursday the viaduct cf the IVaterford and Kilkenny Railway, crossing the Dublin road at Aughtnalog, within one mile of this city, fell, whilst several persons were working upon it, who have all been more or le , s in jured. At about one o'clock the shocking tidings reached our city, and spread universal consternation amongst the inhabitants. On proceeding to the melan choly scene, we met along the road the sufferers, to the number of 14, being borne on doors and in cars to our county infirmary, amidst the shrieks of their friends and relatives, and upon arriving at Aughmalog a most distressing spectacle presented itself. The western stone face of the arch which crossed the road remained, but the entire of the brick work and the other stone face lay in an immense heap blocking up the passage, and several people were engaged in dig ging amongst the rubbish in the expectation of still finding some mangled bodies beneath. It appears that a small portion of the brick work gave way the previous evening, but the upper surface remained appa rently uninjured, and the workmen proceeded to labour on the top, as usual, in the morning. At about twelve o'clock a horse and earth-waggon were passing across the bridge, and about fourteen or fifteen persons were engaged near it. Suddenly the arch gave way with an awful crash, and all were hurled through the aper tare, and partially buried in the rubbish. We con versed with one of them who had a most providential escape by falling under a large beam which came down in a slanting direction, and prevented the bricks and earth from tithing upon him; he, however, had received a severe contusion on the head. All the men are seriously injured, and four, w• regret to say, are stated as being hopeless cases. It is not exactly known whether an v persons were at the period of the disaster passing under the bridge, but a party of the Sad Regi ment, on its march to our city, was in close proxi mity to the spot at the time, and it is rumoured, but we cannot say whether on good authority, that one of the soldiers is missing, and is supposed to have been buried in the ruins. Great difference of opinion prevailed up to the hour of our going to pres., as to whether or not some bodies still remained under the ruins, but the rubbish was not completely re moved last night. The horse which had been draw ing the waggon, and which fell with the men, es caped with but slight injury. Mr. Joseph Wright, one of the contractors, was early at the calamitous scene, and giving every possible attention and direction for the removal and care of the sufferers, and his exer tions were actively seconded by Peter Blake, county inspector, and W.F. Winslow, S.l.,Esqs., who were . also immediately in attendance. The utmost sym pathy and excitement still pervades the public mind here. We have just learned that one of the sufferers has died in the infirmary, and that a lifeless body has been dug out of the ruins.—Kilkenny Moderator. UNITED SERVICE INSTITUTION.—At a special meeting of the Council, held on Monday last, Sir Harry Smith was elected a vice-patron, and Lady Smith an honorary member of this growing and important institution. The Chairman of the Council, Majer Shadwell Clerke, had the honour of waiting upon Sir Harry and his lady, to deli ver to them the official notification of their election.

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 strength ens with our strenth." An improper regimen acting upon a particular kind of con stitution, late hours, both of retiring to rest and rising in the morning, lay the foundation of intestinal as well as skin piseases.

A BAD BREAST OF SEVEN YEARS' STANDING CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINTMENT.—Mrs. Davis, residing near the barracks at Cardiff, had a bad breast, which, seven years ago (by a bruise), commenced swelling, and ultimately five abscesses formed. discharging large quantities of humour, which no treatment could cure. She was much debilitated in her health, indeed her constitu tion seemed to be breaking up very fast. By chance she called on a neighbour who was using Holloway's Pills and Ointment, and who advised her to try them, which she did, and the result was that in nine weeks her breast became as well as ever it was in her lite. To be had of ad Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, Loudon. GlNEERS.—Twesteay. Sir Joirie RENNIE, PresiOnt, in the Chair. The paper read was, " Ati Account of the Sarah nds, and other iron vessels, with direct acting auxiliary gives and screw-propellers," by John Grantham, of 'verpool, Assoc. Inst. C.E. The object of the paper was to show that a propeller might be constructed of such dimensions that th e num b er o f revolut i ons i t would require to make in order to obtain a high velocity would not much exceed that of the ordinary paddle-wheel, and that hence th e usua l mar i ne condensing engine might be applied direct to the propeller-shaft without the inter vention of a second ar y mot i on. I t appeared from the statements in the paper that this opinion was found to be correct, and that "IVooderofes" expanding pitch screw propeller was the best form that had hitherto been em ployed. Ina paper read to the institution upwards of three years since, Mr. Grantham gave his views on this subject, and several vessels h a d b een s i nce built, the re sults of the trials of which were communicated to the meeting. The principal of these were the Emerald and Diamond, three masted steamers of 300 tons, and 60-horse power; the Nautilus, of the same dimensions; the Antelope, of 600 tons, and 100 power ; and the Sarah Sands, of 1,000 tuns, and 180-horse power. Drawings of these vessels were exhibited to the meeting. The capabilities and performance of these vesse l : were described in the paper, but particular notice was taken of the last-named vessel, Which had performed a most suc cessful voyage to New York during bad weather and adverse winds. The passages made by the ordinary New York liners, which were out at the same time, were very long, averaging 48 days each, and the Boston and Liverpool steamers were much longer than usual on their passage. The Sarah Sands used her steam about 17 days and sailed the remainder, making her voyage in 2$ days 10 hours. On her arrival she had about enough fuel remaining for four days' steaming. The paper did not enter minutely into particulars of the screw itself, as it was considered that too much attention had been given to that branch of the subject, to the exclusion of the con sideration of the plans for working it, which, after all, had been the stumbling-block to the general adoption of the system. It was necessary with the screw, the theory of which as a propeller was so little understood, to pro ceed with experiments perseveringly in one direction, as variations in the results were frequently attributed to causes which really did not exist. After describing several interesting details, the paper concluded by ex pressing a desire that engineers should examine the drawings of the system laid before the meeting, and endeavour to add to the stock of information already obtained. After the paper was read, Mr. Grantham added some facts which he had recently gathered, and which strongly confirmed what had been stated. The Diamond had recently made a very rapid passage to Madeira, deeply laden ; but during the whole passage the engines maintained a very moderate speed, and quite removed the impression that under inch circum stances they would run too fast from their being con nected directly to the screw. An account of the last successful voyage outwards of the Sarah Sands was also given, and it appeared that, in spite of most se vere gales, which had driven back almost all other vessels, her passage had been made in the most satisfac tory manner. In the discussion which followed several engineers of eminence expressed themselves much pleased with the facts brought forward in the paper, and perfectly con curred with the views put forth. The principle of the following current of the ship, which had a material in fluence in increasing the efficiency of the screw, was alluded to, and a conviction was expressed that the screw would eventually supersede all other means of propelling vessels on long voyages. An account was given also of the auxiliary screw-steamers that ply between London and Rotterdam, and some interesting facts were given of the power which these vessels possessed of working to windward in bad weather. The subject was closed by a discussion upon several points that had been started re lative to the size of the screw, the mode of disengaging it, and the prospects which were held out of the final success of the principle. The subject will be renewed at the next meeting, on Tuesday, June 1, when the following paper will be read:—‘• An account of the iron barque Josephine, of Liverpool," by Captain Masters. It was announced that there would not be any meeting on Whit-Tuesday. FOREIGN SUPPLIES. The following arrivals of cattle, provisions, and grain, took place at the port of London on Monday, the enumeration of which will be of exceeding interest to the general public, as well as to those mere immediately concerned in the importation and traffic of such produc tions at the present time:—The Attwood, from Rotter dam, brought 71 oxen and cows, 8 calves, and 224 sheep; the Bellona, from Gravelines, 131 packages of eggs; the Victorine, from Ccen, 150 cases of eggs; the Poule, from Cherbourg, 183 cases of eggs; the Konig via Von Schoneden, from Wolgast, 1,200 tags of wheat; the Mentor, from Danteic, several huetdreds of hams; the Ocean, from,llotterdam, 162 casks of butter, 13 baskets of cucumbers, some of fish, 53 of yeast, 71 of cheese, and other articles; the Zealolls, from Charles ton, 2,300 quarters of paddy, or rice in the husk; the Line, from Wolgast, 1,200 quarters of wheat; the Magnet, from Harlingen, 1,940 casks of butter, 150 casks of cheeses, 13 horses, 137 cows, .0 7 calves, 110 sheep, 9 packages of poultry, 3 of eggs, and 334 bags of potatoes; the Rapid, .frotu Rotterdam, 71 cows, 6 calves, 271 sheep, 8,000 cheeses, 296 hales of seed, several packages of butter, fish, and other productions; the City of London, from Rotterdam, 274 casks of butter, 2,798 of cheese, 55 oxtit and cows, several packages of hams, fish, poultry, etc.; the Oxenbirg, troth Aarhuns, 450 Quarters of oats, and 230 quarters of barley; the Neptune, from Gravelines, 243 cases of I eggs; the Winchester, from Latiecestoe, Van Themen's Land, 890 Lags of wheat ; the Niemeperum n, from Danteic, 1,600 qt:arters of whrat; the Laurine Ma -1 thilde, from Micullefaulit, 4 , ' , 0 quarters of barley; the 1 Jane Smith, from Stettin. 750 quarters of ba r l e y ; t h e Ceres, also Irons Stettin., 800 quarters of %sheet; the Princess Royal, from liamburAh, 304 casks of butter, 38 oxen, 20 casks of flour, 33 bales of bacon, 488 bags of wheat, several of tongues, perk, seed, and other articles; the John Troughton, troni Alexandria, 2,000 quarters of beans: the _Rattler, from llobart Town, 2.86 bags of wheat, the Twit Broclre, from Wadewalla (Sweden), 500 quarters of oats and 160 of seed; the Maidstone, from Calcutta, 2,752 packa ges o f r i ce; the Agnette liirstine, from Aarhuns (Denmark), 320 quar ters of wheat and 170 of oats; the Iloffaung, from Stettin, 1,255 quarters of wheat ; and the Charlotte, front Dantzie, 1,302 quarters of peas. The whole of these arrivals took place at the port of London alone, as before stated, in one day, and the several articles in cluded in the list are, it need scarcely be stated, either entirely free, or subject to very trifling rates of duty on importation into this country. The arrivals of butter from Holland have lately been very extensive, much more so than was formerly the case, and every possible privilege is conceded in order that these articles of food may be admitted into the markets without delay. MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS. The number of deaths registered in the Loudon dis• tricts last week were 278, or males, 512 ; females, 46i. Births, 1,3;17, or males, 668 ; females, 659. Meteoro logical observations taken at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich•—barometer, mean height, 29.005 ; ther mometer, highest, 68.0 ; lowest, 45.1 ; mean, 56.1 ; general direction of the wind, S.S.W., with a maximum pressure of 3.5 lbs. on the square foot ; mean amount of cloud, 6.8; sums of rain, 0 54 inches. In the quarterly report which appeared in February last, apprehension was expressed that scurvy may break out among the people of this country. The necessity of precautionary measures was also adverted to in the fol lowing teruas.— "Dr. Baly, the physician to the Tililbat,k Penitentiary, showed some time ago that scurvy was very prevalent in prisons from the dietaries of which potatoes were ex cluded, and did not exist where potatoes were used. The potato contains a :mall quantity of a vegetable acid, in cumblnation with potash (bitartrate of potash, or cream of tartar). It is certain that scurvy, which was formerly common, has almost disappeared since the potato entered largely into the food of the population. If; now that th• potato has grown scarce, this disease, characterised among other symptoms by swollen bleeding gums, again become prevalent, its simple prophylactics should be had recourse to." Although no deaths have yet been directly ascribed to scurvy in London, the disease, it is now ascertained, has appeared in many parts of the country. Several cases, too, have shown themselves at the London hos pitals. Under these circumstances the following prac tical suggestions of Dr. Baly deserve the attention of the public. The poorer classes particularly should be properly informed on the subject. Where green vegetables and lime juice cannot be procured, a weak acidulated drink of cream of tartar and sugar may be tried ; for it is the presence of the former salt which probably renders the potato antiscorbutic. " It cannot be doubted," says Dr. Body, 4, that the scurvyprevaleneeenotflend,some par st the present of Eng land,presen ttime and even i n London, amongst the poorin s is owing to the scarcity of vegetables, and especially uosfldtbiayt obtain k ind in g e n g n e n ta ti b t l y e a w d h e i g e n h ate oralofne thethe poor can u preservation of health—namely, potatoes. Th e want of potatoes, as I have shown elsewhere, was the cause of the a ppearance of scurvy in many prisons and other public institutions at former periods. The potato beire now so scarce, other articles of diet have been sub stituted for it. The article substituted has been for the most part,some cheap kind of grain, as Indian corn, rice, oats, barley, peas, or beans. But the farinaceous food made limn grain has no antiscorbutic property. It has been necessary, th ere f ore , t o supply thi s defect by flavouring the farinaceous food with lime juice, the great prophylactic against scurvy in the navy ; or to combine uith the food some fresh vegetable, such a turnips (Swedes), carrots, cabbages, onions, cress, and mustard. Both these measures, when tried, have been successful. " A small quantity of lime juice would be sufficient to give antiscorbutic properties to the rice, meal, or Indian corn, loud used by the pour, or an acidulous drink might be made with it. In either way it would be an efficacious, and, I think, au economical preventive of the disease. Its use might he introduced with great advan tage into workhouses and amongst the out-door poor. The fresh vegetables I named could stldom be procured by the poor themseives in sufficient quantity, but sometimes, perhaps, they might use plants which grow wild, such as the common water-cress and scurvy. gr ass. These are powerful antiscorbutics, and most e dible green vegetables, especially those which ha ve an possess the sam e p i o p er ti es . important point, how eve r, seems to be, th a t th e p a o ci o ‘d‘ r Tt a luih n e d te te guardians of ;the poor should be instructs that farinaceous foods, made of grain or meal of an kind, will not alone serve as substitutes for potatoe that either some green vegetable ar succulent root must be eaten with them; or the deficient antiscorbutio pro. petty supplied with Lialeilgs34o.
