NOW EXHIB;TING, AT THE EGYPTIAN HALL, PICCADILLY, the most EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBITION' of ABORI GI ES EVER SEEN in EUROPE, landed in Liverpool by the brig Fanny, Captain Wheeler. TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and a BABY, of the BOSJESALkN or BUSH T•'IBE, 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. From the Liverpool Journal : —"BosjesManS, or Bush People, from Southern Africa—lnteresting specimens of a most extraordinary race of human beings have been landed In our ,iirt ; the' ant the Itosjes• mans, or Burch People from the Interior of South Africa, of which so mach has been written by the psissionaries, 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 tulles from Cape Town. They exhibit dlmost as striking an absence of the intelle tual or higher faculties as is observable in the skull of that mockery of clammity, the Baboon, while the prepooderance of the animal is al most equally as great. In every respect they are ealculat-d to excite the guatest astonishment, and to contirm to the full those " Tales of Travellers" which we have certainly been inclined to look upon wi•h su.picion. We emit , scarcely have credited that such a rice could he in existence on the earth That they , :re genuine no one can doubt ; in proof of which we give thi. to lowing extract from a ; ape Town Paper of the 24th December, which we have just re • ceivett : —" We understand the lid.: Fanny, Captain Wheeler, which recently left Table Ray for Livorpool, had on board an unusual kind of exportation, viz.. tee males and two females of the genuine Bush man species; ti•ey are in charge • f a Mr. J.

By order, ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or, PEARL DEN TIFRICE, a FRAGRANT WHITE POWDER, prepared from oriental herbs of inestimable virtue for preserving and beauti fying the TEETH and strengthening the GUMS. It eradicates tartar from the teeth, and thus lends a stlutary growth and freslmess to the gums. It removes from the surface of the Teeth the sots of incipient decay, polishes and preserves the enamel, imparting the most - pare and pearl-like whiteness; while, from its salubrious and disinfecting qualities, it gives sweetness and perfume to the breath. Being an anti-scorbutic, the gums also share in its corrective powers scurvy is eradicated from them, and a healthy action and redness are induced, so that the teeth (if loose) are thus rendered firm in their sockets. As the meet efficient and fragrant aromatic Tooth Powder ever know, ROWLAND'S ODONTO has for a long series of years occupied a distinguished place at the toilets of the Sovereigns and the Nobility throughout Europe.

THE ISLAND OF LAIITTAN.. rThe following is a copy of a letter which has been ad dressed by the late commandei of the Wolf to Mr Brooke.] • H.M.S. Iris, Polo Pi'lte TT. April 6, 1847. Sir,—Having on the 18th of .6181 eh been superseded in the command of H.M.S. Wolf, and in the charge of the station of Labuan, I think an account of the present state of affairs at Brune will not be uninteresting to you. I enclose you a copy of a letter which I addressed to the senior officer relative to the discovery of a fine scam of coal at the north end of Labuan. Specimens are on their way to England for the purpose of being properly analysed; in the meantime the report of the ship's black smith and of the cook is highly favourable. Numerous examinations of the interior of the island show that the soil, or the greater portion of it, is a light yellow clay. I was at Labuan daring a dry season, and although many of the streams had ceased running, our wells never failed us, nor did their supply decrease. I therefore conclude that by increasing the number of wells an un limited supply of good water may be obtained. Native information leads me to believt , that there are but two creams which never fail—one being the water all near the north point, and the other a stream on the west side of the island. Bullocks, poultry, fish, and vegetables were always abunda-t at mud Jade pr;ces, the average cost of beef being 2d. a pound The inhahilauts of the Kalliaa river are the principal purveyors, and 1 thought it right to visit them. and cement the friendly feeling which had berm between us. It is a fine river, and abounds with the Nepa palm (which does not grow in Labuan), but of which the greater portion of a Malay's house is built; the towns on the banks contain 7,000 or 8,000 in habitants. After passing the town of 'Wiles, the river flows on under the name of Kapala Panger, and enters the sea opposite Pulo Tiga, thus making the land which forms the east side of the Labuan Channel an island ; this passage is much used by the natives during the north-east monsoon. The first English vessel was cleared and loaded with Borneo produce in a very short time, realising a large profit to her owners. One more had arrived at Lahuan, and three were on their way from Singapore at the time of my leaving. The competition among them will, of course, soon lessen their profits, but will, on the other hand, encourage the Borneans, and the trade will soon find its level. Until Labuan is colonized this trade will be carried on at Borneo, it being the residence of the Makhodas. But a. I have known of native vessels being wind bound ten days at Muarra, Labuan will, evidently, eventually have great advantages. During my stay at Labuan I made a point of con versing as much as possible with the natives, especially the Nakhodas and traders. Their gratitude for the pro tection off ,rded by our presence is unbounded ; they now have no hesitation in sailing singly, whereas in previous years they had been_ obliged to go in large squadrons for mutual support. Since Sir Thomas Coch rane's operations, last year, piracy has been unknown on the coast ; it is certain that the Illanoons have retired to Toongkoo on the east coast ; some few who have in termarried with Badjows still remain, and have begged our forgiveness. In the middle of February I heard from the Sultan that Hadji Samen was in Brune and creating distur bances, and the Sultan said he was not strong enough to bring him to justice. I immediately went up with all the force I could muster, and finding the Sultan would be satisfied, I obtained the sigoa , ure of Nakoda Rahsid to a document making him responsible for the good be haviour cf Hadji Sarum and his followers. This Nak hoda is a rich man, and supports the Hadji. It was clear to me that the Sultan was more afraid of offending you and Sir T. Cochrane, by allowing the Hadji's residence, than of any personal injury from him. Upon being relieved by Commander Grey, who has but recently arrived on the station, I left letters with him, detailing with minuteness all that had occurred since last autumn, and upon your arrival at Labuan, I have no doubt he will show them to you, although there will probably be little in them that you are not already acquainted with. Wishing you every success and support in your phi lanthropic undertaking. -1 have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, (Signed) L. G. HEATH.

When it first started it was Tooke-d upon as a dangerous experiment, likely to introduce a new element into the constitution of the Church, and to derange the machinery of its parochial governtuent. The experiment, however, had realised all his expectation s as to its sue • cess, and not one of the difficulties which it was appre hended would spring from it had arisen. Th e S cripture readers had been found to act as a connectin between the parochial clergy and the poorest o. link classes o f their parishioners ; and from the spiritual destitution which prevailed in the metropolis and other large towns, he anticipated that the happiest results would be pro duced by the Association, which he recommended to public support. The report for the past year, which advocated the further extension thereof. was read by the secretary, stated that the receipts of the Association during that period were 3,385/., and the expenditure 3,1821. After dwellin g at some length, on the benefits which had dready sprung from the labour: Winchester and Lichfield, Sir F. Lawlev, and other speakers, supported the claim s of the Society ; and reselutions of the usual character were adopted by the meeting.

Parker, will be detached from their service iu the Tagus to follow Sir C. Napier, remains to be seen. The Vengeance•is on her way to this port and is hourly expected from the West Indies. She will refit, take in her lower deck guns, and equip for other than troop service, placing herself under the orders of Sir Charles Napier. The Odin is getting ready to join with as much dispatch as possible, and the Centaur will be put in commission in a day or two, and, if not ready to join when the sailing orders arrive, will most probably follow. The squadron above enumerated comprises the finest and best ships in the world, built on designs by the most approved architects or after the most perfect models, the St. Vincent, Howe, Caledonian, and Trafalgar having been built by the late Sir William Rule, the latter im proved by Mr. Lang; the Queen, the Superb, Centaur, Gladiator, Bulldog, and Polyphemus, by the Survey or of the Navy; the Vengeance and Amp hionl by Seppings; the Terrible by Lane • the Sidon by Sir C. Napier; and the Birkenhead by L aird. The squadron will victual here, which will be a source of considerable benefit to the tradesmen of the locality and the watermen, who invariably reap a rich harvest from the traffic carried on with the shore; the latter es pecially. on account of the vast number f visitors who flock from the metropolis and other places to visit the " wooden walls of old England." We are informed that Lord Frederick Fitsclarence, Lieutenant„ Governor of Portsmouth and Commander- in- Chief of the South -West District, contemplates having the quarters of the various troops in this garrison cleansed and repaired next month, pending which pro ceedings the troops wilt all be encamped on Southsea common. Should this pr..ve correct (and we have nu reason to doubt it at present, the military and marine quarters being alike destitute of comfort and cleanliness), the spectacle will be one of the most imposing and gra tifying ever exhibited on our shores. A large fleet at Spithead and a small army encamped under the walls I will give Portsmouth the appearance of a citadel block aded by sea and besieged by land, the draw-bridges being drawn up and the moats filled, serving to assist the illusion. Ia the above list we have enumerated the ships and steamers actually under the orders of Sir Charles Napier, and those most likely to be placed under his command, and taken as a whole will, we doubt not, be found ulti mately correct. Rear-Admiral of the Blue, W. H. Sbirreff, late Captain- Superintendent of Chatham Dockyard, is named amongst others as most likely to succeed Rear-Admiral Sir George Seymour, C. 8., K.0.H., in the chief command on the Pacific station, and to hoist his flag in the Asia, 84, at Sheerness. Admiral Sir John West, K.C.8., Commander-in Chief at Devonport, will give a sumptuous and brilliant enter tainment at his official mansion on Tuesday next, to commemorate Howe's victory of the " glorious Ist of June;" Sir John being one of the few remaining officers who shared in the glories of that memorable day, having been a lieutenant of the Royal George, 100, the flag ship of Vice-Admiral Sir A. Wood„li.B., second in command on that occasion. CHATHAM, MAY 28.—The Cleopatra, 26 guns, in dock for the purpose of making good defects, for re commission, has been surveyed, and it is reported that it will require an outlay of 15,0001. to put her in a state fit for service. The Aid, Smallman, master, sailed on the 27th inst. with stores for Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Pembroke yards. The Rochester, Sedgwick master, arrived on the 24th instant with stores from Woolwich; and the,Goodwili, Pledge master, arrived on the 27th from Sheerness. The arms and accoutrements for the dockyard batta lion have been received, and every man is drilled three times a week. The pay of a private is 6d. per hour; that of a corporal 7d.; and a sergeant Bd. The drilling goes ou very pleasantly, and the men are making great progress. Mr. J.

The girder itself is broken, as shown on the accompanying drawing, having-two fractures ,in the length. next to the Salteney abutnient, and one in its centre. Having premised this short 'description of the construction of the bridge and its present appearance, I may pro ceed to detail the..facts and data which have arisen during my inVestigadon, and which have enabled me to arrive at a confident -conclusion as' to the cerise of the accident.

From cake titian which I have made of the strength of the girders, taken from an actual measurement of - the section at the point of fracture; I find that - independent of any addi tional strength that may be obtained from the tension bars, the girders alone are capable of sustaining a much greater weight te.an could, under any. ordinary circum stances, be plsecd upon them. .

The area of is lower scrtace is 24 fi et 6 inches, of which 11 feet 6 eehes only was bedded On 'the pier, leaving 13 feet to .verhang as a,cornice. The stone was not connected by ,steps or ties with the adjoining masonry of the pier. Elie rail Way over the whole bridge is curved. The :woken girder supporting the outer side, and being sub lee; to a greater lab nil force th an t h e g i r d ers f orm i ng the inside radiu s el the curve, - I c - onsider that this lateral jorce, acting during the :paeego of each train, must 'lave so far loosened the inefficient masonry as to Cause a displacement of the girder itself and its - consequent fracture. By the CORONER—If I had had the management of the bridge, I certainly should have had a greater strength ee masonry round the girder. Considerable-vibration would be likely to disturb the masonry. I tried the de flexion of the arch cpposite the third. Had an engine and loaded ballast waggons, in weight about fifty tons, pass over it, and the deflexion was about an inch and a third. ' - The jury pit to him a number of scientific questions, relating to the . construction of the bridge, all of - which he answered in a very able manner. They fully bore out his previous conclusion. Mr. Robert Board, superintendent of the Manslev Iron Works, was then sworn. The girders of the Chester Railway bridge, oi'er - the Dee, were manufactured at those works. They were tested before sent to the rail way-. Each girder Was placed side by side, and tested byfifty tons of iron being put on then] in the centre. We took the deflexion on every five tons. Had not got the Partieulars of those defl..-xions. Conosttn—Are you aware of the ordinary pressure on the girders by a train pas s ing over them? Witness—lt would not exceed fifty tons. Examination continued —After the girders had been tested we found a flaw in one of them; it was a mere honey cake, and it was rectified before it was sent away. I have since examined the girder, and found that the accident had not resulted from the flaw. The fractures were in the sound metal. _ I superintended the fixing of the girders. There are many railway bridges of the same kind. Ott the Trent Vall , ty line there ai e eight of the kind ; it is not openel to the public as yet ; but on ; the 13 1 .aekwall Railway there are several that have had heavy tralr.s passing over thenffor.years.
