TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and a BABY, of the BOSJESMAN or BUSH TRIBE, from the interior of South Africa, a race that, from their wild habits, could never before be induced to visit a place of civilization. This opportunity of gratifying the man of science and the student in zoology has 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. Southern Africa—lnteresting specimens of a mos t extraortlinary From the Liverpool Journal : —"Bosjesmans, or Bush People, fromrace 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 ealculated 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 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 are in charge of a Mr. J. G. B. 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 Moffatt's Travels in South Africa.

" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this opp tuulty of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, Illg gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator , in having con- the hair on her head, after using it about four month ' and the whole of her hair is muctf strong , . u, as : I ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenstor, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an Its. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and produotion of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact,.-3, Swan-street, Borough."

A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, w hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product et the twist aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing adour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops u the erown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces air on children's heads in a few appplic ations. If used on infan ts' eads, it has such a peculiar cool in g influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.--See pamphlet of testimonials.

As his mother, however, has been a good Catholic, Mary takes Alice into her service, sad she attracts the attention of the licentious Philip, wh makes love to her. His suit is, however, indignantly rejected, and undeterred by the penalties to which all relapsed heretics are subject, she meets her father in Windsor Park, and is by him affianced to Francis Huntley (Mr. W. Harrison),'the secretary of Philip. Her proceedings are watched by Leon (Miss R. Isaacs), the Moorish page of Philip, who is the spy of the Queen, and who picks up a letter, -which Alice has let fall, and gives it to the Queen. This letter is from her father, and Mary immediately orders her to be arrested as a lapsed heretic, giving, at the same time, the letter to Philip. Philip, thinking the accusation of heresy may form and his views, orders Alice in strict custody to the Tower, appointing his secretary, Huntley, governor of the fortress. He goes to the Tower seeking an interview with Alice, and finds that Huntley, acting strictly upon his orders, refuses him admission to her cell, as by the warrant of her commitment no one is to be allowed access to her, but by the especial orders of the Queen herself. In the meanwhile Leon who has discovered that Alice has rejected the suit of Philip, determines to save her, and meeting with the Queen in the tower, tells her that Alice is innocent, and that if she will release Alice the really guilty shall be delivered into her hands. The Queen consents, and gives Leon her royal signet. Alice- is released, and then Leon declares that instead of Leon Leonora de Castro, the former mistress of Philip, who has followed him front Spain, stands before her—that through jealousy she has denounced Alice—and as she makes the avowal dies, having swal lowed poison. Philip is exposed, Sir Edward Copley pardoned. and Alice and Francis made happy. As far as music is concerned, this, perhapi;s',:iso-one of the most unevenly composed operas that ever was presented to the public. Until the finale of the firststetall is noisy common place. The beauty of the Mudd, however, a quartette—" Yes, yes, whatever my doom may be," end ing with a madrigal—" Now the golden summer fly" is beautiful exceedingly, and produced an outbreak of well deserved applause at the falling of the drop scene. Mr. Tully is a better composer of chamber than of operatic music. In this quartette and madrigal he depended more upon the vocal than upon the instrumental music for producing his effects, and he was really great, and if he would eschew noise he would he a great com poser. The music of the second act was admirable throughout. It was dramatic and appropriate. The scene opens with an old English revel under the maypole, and his imitation of the old style of English music was really beautiful. It was an imitation, certainly, but an imitaa lion of music so seldom heard, that it had all the merit of originality. The music was performed principally by stringed instruments, and the sostenuto was very beau tiful. A song by Miss Rebecca Isaacs " The Moorish Maiden " is a beautiful bit of melody, exquisitely given, and it was deservedly encored. It is followed by a beautiful ballad, " A little cot beside the sea," deliciously given by Mias Rainforth ; and a duet, a very beautiful composition, " Hope hovers o'er us," which is, perhaps, the gem of the opera, and which was given by Miss Rainforth and Miss Isaacs in a style, which secured a loud call for its repetition, and which very narrowly escaped a double encore. The finale to this act is a very fine composition, and was given with great spirit and effect. In the third act we have a very effsctive chorus, a ballad from Mr. Har rison, which he gave according to his wont, with little feeling, but with great power, and which was voci ferously applauded by the galleries ; and an exquisite song, by Miss Isaacs, "Every joy of my childhood is gone," an exquisite composition, given with great pathos and taste, and wh - ch ought to have been encored, taut was not. In this act there is a very araceful melody, "That flower so sweet," which was well sung by Mr. Leffler, and a very sweet ballad "The beautiful morn," which was given with great taste by Miss Rainforth. The triumph of the evening, however, remained with Miss Isaacs. Miss Rainforth, Mr. Harri son, and Mr. Leffler, sustained their former positions. Miss Rebecca Isaacs took a giant's stride in her profes sional career. Hitherto she has made much of little parts. In this opera she has been cast for a part more worthy of her genius, and she has known how to avail herself of the opportunity. Miss Isaacs is the most promising singer at present on the stage. We give her two years to be at the head of her profession. At the conclusion Miss Rainforth and Miss Isaacs were called for, and led on by Harrison, and then there were loud calls for the Maestro Tully, who came on and bowed his thanks. The house was crowded to the ceiling. MURDER AT KIDDERMINSTER.—SUNDAY,, MAT 30. —A dreadful murder was committed in this town about two o'clock this morning, on a brewer named Phillpotts. The murderer is a journeyman ironmonger named Lloyd, in the employ of Messrs. Welch and Sons. The deceased and pri soner had been drinking at several public-houses, and had quarrelled. When they were going home, at the time above stated, and Lloyd was at his door, he aimed a blow at Phill potts with a clasp-knife, severing the windpipe. Mr. Brad ley, surgeon, was immediately in attendance, but life was extinct. Inspector Peters was immediately on the spot, and apprehended the prisoner, who is now in custody at the police-station in the town. An inquest will be held, to-mor row or Tuesday. ALARMING FIRE. WILTON, MAY 30. -- About half-past ten o'clock last night the inhabitants of this quiet little borough were greatly alarmed at hearing the cry of fire, and on seeing the passing clouds tinged with rising flame. As soon as possible the engines were at the scene of hh\ about tw,.eh from o devastation, and a l arge assem bl age of sturd ' y labourers there, night. were o b . 7 1 u p gpirit approaching a c t b a ing rapid th o ready to assi s t i n putt i ng a stop to the a wfully spreading destroyer. U n h appily their efforts were of but little effect until ere th . eengines o'clock at bur igh m S alis rate, accompanied by th e fi re brigade from th at city, arriving spot where the destruction was spreading, we found a row of dwellings called Burton's Ball fearfully burnii :g, two already destroyed, one occupied by a tailor named Yoiang, the other by a plumber named Clark ; a third house being partly destroyed. By this time the flames were got i tnder, and the danger materially lessened. By three o'clock, the re cently burning pile had sunk into a heap of smouldering ruins, and by four o'clock no further danger I tas to be ap prehended. The property destroyed has not as yet been accurately ascertained. TRINITY MoNDAY.—Yesterdav, accorating to an nual custom, his Grace the Duke of Wellington., as the Mas ter of the Trinity House, accompanied by th e elder and junior brethren, assembled in the Grand Hall of the Trinity House, and after partaking of a slight dejeuner, proceeded to the Tower and embarked in their state barges, attended by the officials of the Trinity House, the Master and Wardens of the Watermen's Company, and Captain Fisher, t he harbour master, and a strong muster of the Thames 1 )olice. His Grace was loudly cheered by a large body of si )ectators on his embarking, as also by the numerous vessels 2 .nd steamers as they passed down the river. On the arrival of the party at Deptford, his Grace landed, the procession th , tln moved on towards St. Nicholas Church, the children balm aging to the Seamen's Orphan School being drawn up in line , The sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Melvin, chaplain of the Tower and to his Grace. The church was crowded it t every part. At the conclusion of Divine service, the Duke or Wellington returned to town in an open carriage and pair, the Brethren of the Trinity returning in the usual manna e to Trinity House. HUNGERFORD MARKET COMPANY.— The half yearly general meeting of the proprietors of tl its company WELS held yesterday at the company's offices, V illiers-street, Strand. Martin Stutely, Esq., took the chair.

In TonsequenCe of this, the Bridge Company had railed off, and set apart a six feet right of way over the bridge for steam-b. oat passengers, which had proved efficient and satisfactory for the pur pose. The report then stated that the rovenue of the company continued to improve, which gam great satis fintion. The report was unanimously adopted.

James M Cann, a journeyman tailor, working in Fleet-lane, was charged with a s saulting Maria Partridge, a married woman, about 35 years of age. The complainant stated that her husband carried on a small business as a cook, supplying chops and steaks, tea and coffee, to the men working at the printing-offices in the neighbourhood. The prisoner was an acquaintance and an occasional customer. Yesterday he came in, and had a beef-steak in their parlour, in Fleet-lane. At one o'clock her husband went out with some chops to a printing-office in Bishop's-court, Old Bailey, and while he was gone the prisoner asked her to give him a kiss. She said she would do nothing of the sort, and he pro ceeded to try to get one by force. She struggled with him and foiled him, but he threw her down upon the floor, and kneeling down, attempted to raise her clothes. This also she prevented, and compelled him to desist by screaming murder, which brought a neighbour to her assistance. Mrs. Waters, the neighbour, said she heard Mrs. Partridge scream "murder" twice. She paid no atten tion to the first call, but when she heard the cry re peated in the course of three minutes, she thought she had better see what was the matter. As she entered the room the prisoner retired to the further end, sat down upon a bed, and hastily adjusted a portion of his dress. Mrs. Partridge was much excited, and had a child in her arms, and she complained that the prisoner had thr3 Wh her upon the floor and attempted to take liberties with her. The prisoner said he had just been drinking two pots of beer with her husband, and he did not know what he was doing, but did no more than attempt to take a kiss. Mr. Alderman MOON said the prisoner must find bail to answer the charge at the sessions. The prisoner found sureties. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. Henry Yillebois, ot % Grosvenor-place, was sum moned before Mr. Bingliartr an assault on John Fra zier, coachman to a gently Rial named Auhljo. The complainant said, as he was coming down Park lane with the carriage one of the horses was injured by another carriage. He was desired to get down and ascer tain the name of the owner. To do this effectually he was obliged to lay hold of the heads of the horses in the other carriage. The defendant got out of the carriage and knocked him down. Mr. Villebois admitted that when he found the com plainant bolding his horses, he proceeded to free the animals from the complainant. Mr. BINGHAM—But the complainant says you struck him down. Mr. Villebois—Oh, yes; I freed them effec tually. Mr. BINGHAM said that the blow was more than ne cessary violence, and as the law would not justify blows, the defendant must either come to some arrangement with the complainant or he must be fined for the assault. The defendant then gave the complainant 21., and the summons was discharged. Mr. Auldjo wished to know, in case an injury was in flicted by one carriage passing another, whether it was lawful for the party sustaining injury to attempt to de tain the other party? Mr. BINGHAM said be could give no advice in a sup positious case. The party aggrieved must act on his own responsibility. A WHOLE FAMILY POISONED. An occurrence of a most appalling character, by which six persons have been prematurely hurried into eternity, and the lives of three other parties greatly jeopardised, took place in the village of Kensal New Town, Harrow road, on the afternoon of Sunday last. The following particulars were obtained from an authentic source, and may therefore be relied upon as being perfectly free from exaggeration:—lt appears that a man named Thomas Hickman, aged 34, occupied, with his wife and six chil dren, a small cottage in Penton-villas, Middle-row, ad jacent to the cemetery at Kensal-green. On Sunday morning last Caroline Bonerny, a sister of Mrs. Hick man, called to spend the day with her relatives, and during the morning she was asked by her sister, who was otherwise engaged, to prepare a rhubarb pudding for dinner. It appears that after the batter was mixed, and all the flour exhausted, the substance was too thin. and on going to an adjoining cupboard she found in a paper bag what she imagined to be another package of flour. This she added to the former mixture, and the whole was sent to the bakehouse. At dinner the family, including the sister of Mrs. Hickman, partook heartily of the pudding, little suspecting that it contained a deadly poison. Shortly after they had partaken of the pud ding very alarming symptoms were perceptible in the whole of the children. They were first seized with violent sickness, accompanied by a burning sensation in the throat and stomach. Whilst Mr. and Mrs. Hick man were attending upon their offspring, they were, together with Caroline Bonerny, attacked in a similar manner, and they then for the first time imagined that the fruit in the pudding had caused the symptoms, and assistance was called in. Mr. Abercrombie, a surgeon, of the Kensal-road, was promptly in attendance, and seeing the state the parties were in he inquired what they had eaten ? He was told that they had eaten a quantity of rhubarb pudding, and w is shown the remainder of it, which was lying on the table. From the symptoms which showed themselves he was positive that it was not the fruit in the pudding, but some violent poison that was acting on their consti tution ; and from the metallic taste they described as having in their throat he felt convinced that they had partaken of arsenic. He make known his suspicions to the sufferers, when Mrs. Hickman's sister exclaimed, " It must be that white composition which I found in a bag in the cupboard, and which I mixed with the wouldbi e permt immediatelyoa James pudding." Hickman, on hearing that, exclaimed, "My good God, why that is the white arsenic I have had in the house so many years." Mr. Abercrom hm:uoneuts:whiaeii nteandkr without gat halt' fine ne beneficial). o afterwardsu t administered h o anothern result, y na t i n h nod e ei third child usual antidotes, and did all that the nature cf the case died from the effects of the poison.

He was only thirty-four years of age, and up to the time of his death he exhi bited the greatest anxiety for the fate of his wife and offspring. Mrs. Hickman, her sister, and her son Thomas, aged twelve years, were at six o'clock last evening all three alive, but it was the opinion of the surgeons that, al though there were strong hopes of the sister and son's recovery, from the fact of Mrs. Hickman being enceinte, she could not possibly survive many hours. Mr. Aber crombie has taken possession of the remainder of the pudding, and what they had thrown off their stomachs. The latter he has analysed and found that it contained a considerable quantity of arsenic, and on questioning Caroline Bonerny, he learned from her that the bag contained at least halt a pound of that poison. The statement made by the husband prior to death, and which was confirmed by his wife, was, that a quan tity of arsenic had been kept in a bottle; but some time since, by mishap, the bottle was knocked down and broken, and the contents were afterwards placed in an old flour bag and deposited in one corner of the cup board, whore it remained until removed by his sister-in law- For what object the poison was In the first in stance obtained, or why it should have been placed in the cupboard, will be fully investigated at the coroner's inquest. The whole of the six bodies were lying last evening in the washhouse adjacent to the cottage, and the imme diate neighbourhood was visited during the day by many thousand persons. The police very properly refused the admis don of strangers, who were incessant in their ap plications to view the bodies. DEATH OF THE RIGHT HON. SIR JOHN BECK BART. We have to announce the demise of the Right Hon. Sir John Beckett, Bart., 'who expired at six A.lll yes terday, at Brighton, the Right llon. at having re paired to that watering place with the view of regaining his health. The highly -respected deceased had been ill for the last month, but no serious a pprehensions were entertained till the close of the past week, when it be came apparent to his medical attendants that he was sinking rapidly, Lady . Anne Beckett has been in con stant attendance on Sir John, at Brighton, throughout his illness. The deceased Baronet was eldest son of Sir John Beckett, by the daughter of Dr. Wilson, Bishop of eterCeadinthberitouse of Commons, He entered in 1 820, Rad sat for Hasle- Bristol, and was in his 71st year, having been born in 1776. He married in January, 1 817, Lady Anne Low- Earl, th o i f r dLdoanusgd ales t e o f s t h i r e l j a t o a h a n n d attainedsister mere in 1826, 1830, and 1831. In 1832 he unsuccessfully contested East Retford, and in 1 334, on the vacancy caused by Mr. T. B. Macaulay 's appointment in India, aNsr honoursamnegnl member a e ir t o ' l Trinity n 9c i sn t . y e k C ie i o r he had a severe contest for Leeds with Air. Baines—Sir John polling 1,917 votes, and Mr. Baines 1,951. At the general election in the following year he was returned for that populous borough at the head o f t h e poll. The deceased baronet was judge marshal and advocate general during the Duke of Wellington's Administration from 1828 to 1830, and during the short period of office of Sir Robert Peel, in 1834, he again filled the same appointment. Sir John was a zealous and consistent Conservative, and when in the House of Commons voted against the Reform Bill, the Municipal Corporations Bill, and the Irish Tithe measure. He was appointed a Privy Councillor in July, 1817, and was a fellow of the Royal Society. In the ab-ence of male issue by his mar riage, the baronetcy devolves on his brother, Mr. Thos. Beckett, the eminent banker of Leeds. Mr. W. D. Beckett, M.P., brother' of the deceased, and Lady W. Powlett returned to town on Saturday, from visiting the lamented deceased and Lady Anne at Brighton. MANCHESTER, M . AY 31.

MAGAZINE DAY. BLACKWOOD. Not upon the principle of " contraries" alluded to by Rory O'More, but because of the extraord nary importance of the subject at this period of scarcity in nutritious articles of consumption, we take the last article in the present number (ccclxxx) of Black wood, the first into consideration. The subject is not just now " the rage" from having tickled the passions of the population. It is neither a ruffianly diatribe upon the dead Liberator, nor an idolatrous panegyric upon Jenny Lind, nor a squib upon the poses , plastique, nor a sneeri ng cr iti c i sm upon " Tan cred,' nor a zoological dissertation upon Bosjesmans. No ; the theme is the homeliest conceivable, and for that very reason we have selected it. The heading runs thus--.' On the Nutritive Qualities of the Bread now in Use;" and it is written " by Professor Johnston." The paper is really a little master-piece in its way—a pearl from that casket of nature which was first opened, and the treasures of which were first tolerably well rifled by Justus Liebig. We would gladly see this article copied from the pages of Blackwood, and distributed throughout every household in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Berwick-upon-Tweed. We would see it lyinp on the tables of the palace and the cottage, in the libraries of the nobility and the kitchens of the crofters. Professor Johnston has been actuated by the most benevolent motives in the composition of these few pages ; and the best of it is his benevolence is not comprised in rhetorical flourishes, it is a prac tical evidence of his philanthropy. But to come to the point at once, the reader may ask, " what is the purpose of this remarkable contribution?" It is this. Professor Johnston maintains that white bread (mis called the best bread) is immeasurably inferior in the way ofnourishment to brown,or even black bread,(mis called the worst bread). He not merely asserts this : he proves it, first by analytical calculations and secondly by the facts accumulated from actual expe riments. He insists that the whole wheat, the wheat not separated from the bran, or, in other wor d s , th e grain mingled w ith it s husks, affords much more nourishment than when it is carefully sifted down to pure flour, for the gratification of a fastidious taste. We will give the very simple and explicit demonstra tion of this, in the words of Professor Johnston him -elf. lie proceeds thus : " The solid parts of the human body consist, princi pally of three several portions : the fat, the muscle, and the bone. These three substances are liable to constant waste in the living body, and therefore must be con stantly renewed from the food that we eat. The vege table food we consume contains these three substances almost ready formed. The plant is the brickmaker. The animal voluntarily introduces these bricks iato its stomach, and then involuntarily—through the operation of the mysterious machinery within—picks out these bricks, transports them to the different parts of the body, and builds them into their appropriate places. As the miller at his mill throws into the hopper the un ground grain, and forthwith, by the involuntary move ments of the machinery, receives in his several sacks tine flour, the seconds, the middlings, the pollards, and the bran ; so in the human body, by a still more re. tined separation, the fat is extracted and deposited here, the muscular matter there, and the bony matter in a third locality, where it cannot only be stored up, but where its presence is actually at the moment necessary. " Again, the fluid parts of the body contain the same substances in a liquid form, on their way to or from the -everal parts of the body in which they are required. They include alse a portion of salt or saline matter which is dissolved in them, as we dissolve common salts in our soup, or Epsom salts in the pleasant draughts with which our doctors delight to vex us. This saline scatter is also obtained from the food. " Now, it is evident that that food must be the most nourishing which supplies all these ingredients of the body most abundantly on the whole, or in proportions most suited to the actual wants of the individual animal to which it is given. " How stands the point between the brown flour and the whole meal of wheat? question, br brand and en the in white—too r ega rd to this i The grain of wheat consists of two parts, with which and iner thus the miller is familiar—the inner grain and the skin that covers it. The inner grain gives the pure wheat fl our; separated, off the skin formsin from t his bran. grain, e th an e n s o k t in en w tir hn e e ly peel some of it is unavoidably ground up with his flour. By sifting, he separates it more or less completely; his se conds, middlings, &c. owing their colour to the propor tion of brown bran that has passed through the sieve along with the flour. The whole meal, as it is called, of which the so-named brown household bread is made con- sists of the entire grain ground up together—used as ii comes from the mill-stones unsifted, and therefore con. taining all the bran. The first white flour, therefore, may be said to contain no bran, while the whole meal contains all that grew na turally upon the grain. " What is the composition of these two portions of the seed ? How much do they respectively contain of the several constituents of th e a n i ma l b o dy ? How much of each is contained also in the whole grain ? " 1. The fat. Of this ingredient a thousand pounds of the Whole grain contain 2Blbs. Fine Flour 2O Bran So that the bran is much richer in fat than the interior part of the grain, and the whole ground together (whole meal) richer than the finer part of the flour in the pro portion of nearly one-half. "2. The muscular matter. I have had no opportunity as yet of ascertaining the relative proportions of this ingredient in the bran and fine flour of the same sample of grain. numerous experiments, however, have been made in my laboratory, to determine these propor tions in the fine flour and whole seed of several varieties. of grain. The general result of these is, that the whole grain uniformly contains a larger quantity, weight fur weight, than the fine flour extracted from it does. The particular results in the case of wheat and Indian corn were as follows :—A thousand pounds of the whole grain and of the fine flour contained of muscular matter respectively,— Wheat grain. Fine flour. Wheat ls6lbs. 130Ibs. Indian corn 140 110 Of the material out of which the animal muscles is to be formed, the whole meal or grain of wheat contains one-fifth more than the finest flour does. For maintain ing muscular strength, therefore, it must be more va luable in an equal proportion. " 2. Bone material and Saline matter.—Of these mi neral constituents, as they may be called, of the animal body, a thousand pounds of bran, whole meal and fine dour, contain reipcctively— Bran 7001bs Whole meal , l7O „ Fine flour " So that in regard to this inportant part of our food, necessary to all living animals , but especially to the young who are growing, and to the mother who is giv ing milk—the whole meal is three times more nourish ing than the fine flour. " Our case is now made out. Weight for weight, the whole grain or meal is more rich in all those thre, essential elements of a nutritive food, than the fine flour of wheat. By those whose only desire is to sustain their health and strength by the food they eat, ought not the whole meal to be preferred ? To children who are rapidly growing, the browner the bread they eat, the more abundant the supply of the material, from which their increasing bones and muscles are to be produced. To the milk-giving mother, the same food, and for a similar reason, is the most appropriate. " A glance at their mutual relations in regard to the three substances, presented in one view, will show thi , more clearly. A thousand pounds of each contain of the three several ingredients the following proportions:— Whole meal. Fine flour. Muscular matter 15614 1301bs. Bone material l7olbs. 601bs. Fat Total i❑ each " Taking the three ingredients, therefore, together, the whole meal is one-half more valuable for fulfilling all the purposes of nutrition than the fine flour—and especially it is so in regard to the feeding of the young, the pregnant, and those who undergo much bodily fatigue." In the arguments derivable from chemical analysis, we think the foregoing is conclusive enough in all conscience. But Professor Johnston has more to say in explanation of his views, and emphatically observes, that his "theoretical considerations come in only to confirm the results of previous experiments." " Thus, from the experiments of Majendie and others it was known that animals which in a few weeks died if fed only upon fine flour, lived long upon whole meal bread. The reason appears from our analytical investi gations. The whole meal contains in large quantity the three forms of matter by which the several parts of the body are sustained, or successively renewed. We may feed a man long upon bread and water only, but unless we wish to kill him also, we must have the apparent cruelty to restrict him to the coarser kinds of bread. The charity which should supply him with fine white loaves instead, would in effect kill him by a lingering starvation." Having expounded so far, Professor Johnston calcu lates the extraordinary saving that must arise from the employment of the whole wheat, or brown bread, or mixture of flour and bran, j ust as God himself has mingled the two ingredients for our consumption. " First, The amount of husk separated by the miller from the wheat which he grinds, and which is not sold for human use. varies very much. I think we do not over-estimate it, when we consider it as forming one eighth of the whole. On this supposition, eight pounds of wheat yield seven of flour consumed by man, and one of pollard and bran which are given to animals—chiefly to poultry and pigs. If the whole meal be used, how ever, eight pounds of flour will be obtained, or eight people will be fed by the same weight of grain which only fed seven before. " Again, we have seen that the whole ilea' is more nutritious—so that this coarser flour will go farther thni, an equal weight of the fine. The nunOers at whic we arrived, fr:,m the result of analysis, showi that, takii;.: all the three sustaining elements of food into consider.- tion, the coarse is one half more nutritive than the line. Leaving a wide margin for the influence of cir cumstances, let us suppofe it only one-eigthmore nutri tive, and we s h a ll h ave now nine people nourish, d equally by the same weight of grain, which, when eatti, as fine flour, would support only seven. The wheat of the country, in otner words, would in this form go one fourth farther than at present." Those are surely considerations that should console the multitude under the ravages of the potato murrain. Earnestly do we commend the matter, not merely to the reflection of the public, hut to the domestic ex periment of individuals. By testing the assertions of Professor Johnston, the people will enhance the fat and the osseous and muscular portions of their bodies, and materially decrease the drain upon thieir purses. To bound from one extreme to the other, we will transcribe the best out of four graceful sonnets by Elizabeth Barrett Browning; it is entitled "Mown. taineer and Poet" : " SIOUNTAIKEER AND POET.

By Charles Dickens Plain Joe, Sir—Joey B.—Josh Bagstock—Josepli —rough and tough old J., Sir, will certainly go off one of these days in a frightful fit of apoplexy. The manner in which he i, described, namely, as " greatly swollen as to his face," as " puffy," as excessively blue in com plexion, and so forth, affords the reader a sympa thetic determination of blood to the head. At one time, indeed, Major Bagstock is said to have " swelled and swelled, and rolled his purple face about, and winked his lobster eye, until he fell into a fit of wheezing which obliged him to take a turn or two about the room." At another he is depicted as being t s a o lk p i a n i g nf i u n ll w y the throat and watering at the eyes dinner wa s h e i e n z fl y u enc whispers b y t h m a e t mental , excitement n g ari n d , until ready." A very phenomenon of an apoplectic Major is this Major Bagstock, and " Joe B. is sly, sir, de-vilish sly." In the present chapters Carker goes down to Leamington, finds Dombey entrapped by the charms of Edith Granger, and takes an ex cursion with the affianced, the Major, and Mrs. Skewton over Warwick Castle. The character of the venerable but blooming Mrs. Skewton, who is always apostrophising Nature and Heart is cleverly sustained. The following sentence contains a bitter moral most bitterly expressed. Mrs. Skewton's maid appears late in the evening, according to custom, to prepare her gradually for night. "At night, she should have been a skeleton, with dart and hour-glass, rather than a woman, this attendant ; for her touch was as the touch of Death. The painted object shrivelled underneath her hand ; the form col lapsed, the hair dropped off, the arched dark eye-brows changed to scanty tufts of grey ; the pale lips shrunk, the skin became cadaverous and loose ; an old, worn, yellow nodding wom an , w ith re d eyes, alone remained in Cleopatra's place, huddled up, like a slovenly bundle, in agreasy flannel gown." Florence completes her visit at Sir Barnet Skettl es', and returns home. Previously, however, to her de parture she is attended by the delicate attentions of one visitor : " This was Mr. Toots, who after renewing, some weeks ago, the acquaintance he had had the happiness of forming with Skettles, Junior, on the night when he burst the Blimberian bonds and soared into freedom with his ring on, called regularly every other day, and left a perfect pack of cards at the hall-door ; so mane indeed, that the ceremony was quite a deal on the part of Mr. Toots, and a hand at whist on the part of the servant." The introduction of Florence to the lady, who is to be Mrs. Dombey the second, is a beautiful piece of natural and pathetic description. EXETER MALL.—Handers Alexander's Feast and Mendelssohn's Wa.'purgis Night were performed here yester day evening by the members of Mr. llullah's upper schools, consisting of a force of 500 voices, besides the principals; supported by Mr. Willy's concert band, strengthened largely for the occasion. The execution of those two line works was, upon the whole, extremely creditable, the obedience of the troops to the governing baton of Mr. llullah, who conducted. being prompt and accurate—demonstrating the efficiency of the system under which such satisfactory results are elicited. The choruses in the Walpurgis Night are far from being light and trivial duties, even with professionals, their chro matic texture and structural intricacy demanding the best experiences in the art of part singing; but these upper schools" faced them boldly and brought out all their pic turesque points with felicitous crispness and facility. Alto gether, the choral portion of the programme was executed with remarkable skill, a foretaste of which, however, was given in the recent historical concerts, and tempted the public to expect the excellence it now met with. The solos were assigned to Mr. Manvers, Miss Birch, Mr. H. Phillips, and Miss Duval—all of whom acquitted themselves with their customary ability. The hall was crowded. ROYAL GARDENS, VAUXHALL. The gardens opened for the season last night, and the weather was most auspicious for the occasion. If variety of entertainments ground a claim for public favour, the proprietors have as suredly established that claim. The orchestra is admirably decorated, or rather re-painted. The ballet of Robert and Bertrand was well got up, and the artistes, Miss Wright, Mr. Milano, &c., acquitted themselves admirably. The boxes in the amphitheatre were enormawdy crowded. Or the wonderful performances of the Bedoun Arabs f it wo u ld - I nients were enliven be hopeless to convje andany idea . varied by a capital Theecvenittnagi s crass ban d,entertain and A gene-ins band from the H artz Mountains under the I direction of Herr Kettler. The gardens still retain some of the old attractions, in the shape of the Hermit, Neptune in the Marine Car, &c. In the Waterloo Ground, the "Piece de Resistance consisted of a magnificent structure, modelled with every regard to architectural correctnsss after the Grand Square of St. Mark, Venice, the Palace of the Doge, and Cathedral and Tower of St. Mark. It is a most transcendentally beautiful and successful work of art ; it forms the greatest attraction in the royal property." When this scene was illuminated by the pyrotechnic display the effect was everything which could be wished. Great credit is due to Mr. Darby, the pyrotechnist., for we never beheld a more brilliant display. 11 Diavolo made his usual descent from the top of the tower on a wire, amidst the fire works. A number of views were shown, which are well executed, and represent the following places :—Tivoli, near Rome—Heidelburg, on the Rhine—Platz Town, on ditto— Durham, winter and summer—Valley of Chamouni, Savoy— Salt Plains, Tunis—Tin Mine, Cornwall—P ea k Cavern, Derbyshire—Wells Cathedral, moonlight—Ehrenbreihtstein —Fountain Abbey. Every attention was paid to the visitors under the auspices of Mr. Lewis and Mr. Ryan, and we hope the spirited exertions of the proprietors will be met by a liberal encouragement on the part of the public.
