From the Liverpool Journal : —" Bosjesmans, or Bush People, front Southern Africa —Interesting specimens of a most extraordinary race of human beings have been landed in our p ort ; they are the Itosjes 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 tho country berderng the Great Orange River, 1,200 or 1,400 miles from Cape Town. They exhibit almost as striking an absence of the intellectual or higher faculties as is observable in the skull of that mockery of humanity, the Baboon, while the preponderance of the animal is al most equally as great. In every respect they are calculated to excite the greatest astonishment, and to conflrm to the full those " Tales of Travellers" which we have certainly been inclined to look upon with au.picion. 'We could scarcely have credited that such a race could bo 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., twe 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 arc 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 Boetesmans, see Professor Leichtenstelife, Harebell's, Campbell's, Backhouse's, Methune's, and Moffatt's Travels in South Africa.

This valuable medicine, which for nearly a century has maintained so high a reputation in Germany, and other parts of the Continent, as to have met with the protection of imperial and Ba varian privileges, can now be obtained in London. It was disco vered by Dr. Kiesow, an eminent physician of Augsburgh, mid 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 eases 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 Treatist, gratis, upon Its uses, at the depot, 46, Upper Charlotte-street, Fitzroy square, where it Is sold in bottles , at 2s. 6d. and 4s.

It produces and restores hair; stops it from falling off or turning grey ; restores Gray Hair to its original colour; frees it from scurf and dandriff, and renders it soft, silky, curly, and glossy. For Children, it is especially recommended as forming the basis of a Beautiful Head of Hair, and ren dering the use of the fine comb imnecessary. Its invaluable properties have obtained the especial Patronage of her Majesty the Queen, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the whole of the Royal Family, and of every Court of the civil ised world ; and the high esteem in which it is universally held, to gether with numerous Testimonials constantly received of its efficacy, afford the best and surest proofs of its merits.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —BOTANIC WATER AND BEAR'S GREASE.—When the hair is becoming thin and falling off, the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use of the two above-named articles, applied alternately, the botanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf and as a sti mulant, and the bear's grease as a nourisher. If any further evidence was required of the virtues of bear's grease for reno vating and preserving the hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of the North American Indians would be a sufficient answer.— floss and Son's, 119 and 120, Ilishopsgate- street, who first introduced the use of bear's grease in this country, and who fat and kill the animals, recommend the public to purchase none other but with their names and address printed on the pot, or the chances are they are obtaining a spurious ar ticle.

Although the assemblage on the Downs to-day, to see the Oaks decided, was, by many thousands, less nu merous than on Wednesday, it was considerably larger than on the last day of bygone meetings ; an improve ment equally the consequence of the extreme fineness of the weather, and of the facility the opening of the Epsom line afforded the citizens to visit the course at a convenient hour, without any reasonable dread of a re currence of the confusion of Wednesday. Similar con fusion, we are glad to say, did not occur, and well filled trains kept arriving up to the last moment, bringing pat ties in the nick of time, evidently pleased with the new accommodation. The South- Western line brought down within a hundred or two, yesterday and on Wednesday, of the number it did on the same days last year. Vehicles by the turnpike roads were nume rous, and containing is large number of the fairer sex, contributed much to the pleasantness of the scene The " ring" was formed as usual in the morning, in front of the Spread Eagle, and some few bets were laid; the only movements, however, of any consequence were on Clementina and Slander, who were at a very general demand at improved prices. A similar feeling was shown on the course, Alsatia also improved, and Ellerdale, after being greatly at a discount, came with a rush at the last, and closed at five points less than was currently offered an hour before. With regard to the Farmer's Daughter, who was scratched at half-past eight o'clock in the morning, we should mention that a rumour is afloat to the effect, that her sadden disappearance from the betting arose from lameness, caused by an injury inflicted, purposely, with the intention of making her " safe." John Day, we understand, has obtained a clue to the principals. We regret to add that the suspicion of foul play is not confined to the Daaebury stable. In cot:eluding our notices of the week's proceedings we can say that throughout, the regulations, except on the first day, when so much time was lost, they were carried into effect satisfactorily. The arrangements of Mr. Lumley, the new caterer for the grand stand, and of his chef de cuisne, Mr. Davis, were characterised by great taste and judgment. The weather was magnificent, but though it drew to the course a far more than the usual number of the middle class, it failed to attract to the grand stand more than a moderate collection of female rank and fashion. It seems evident, iudeed, that increased railway accommodation will impair Epsom as a rendez vous of the beau monde, whilst it will make it a vastly more frequented one for all the other classes. The only curious coincidence of the week was that the same jockey (Templemaa) won both the great events, singu larly agreeing with the fact, very unusual, that another jockey (S. D ay) car r i e d eac h of them off last year. Wo subjoin a sketch of the day's sport, which, from the profusion of heats, was not brought to a close until nearly eight o'clock ! Pity t h at at a great meeting like this such abominations as heats should bo tolerated.

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

Mr. O'Brien expressed some dissatisfaction at this, but, on being informed by Mr. Clarke that he was quite near enough to decide, he declined to make any objection, and claimed the winner.

PORTSMOUTH, MAY 21.—The late appointment and promotion of Mr. Watts and Mr. Mallard have given general satisfaction, those officers having been engaged in the arduous duty of extricating the Sphynx. But there are 3 et several who assisted equally in that onerous work, and contributed much to the honourable and gratifying result, who have gone without their reward. No one worked harder, or set a better example, than Lieutenant Andrew Thompson, late of the Victory. On the last occasion of his being dispatched to the wreck he was so seriously injured by his exertions as to be inca pacitated from discharging his duties as second lieute nant of the Victory, compelled to invalid from the ship, and subsequently to give up his appointment. The Bulldog steam-sloop, Commander Key, is ordered to prepare fur sailing to-morrow to Lisbon, with answers to the dispatches she brought yesterday. The Juno, 26, Captain Blake, was at Otaheite on the 10th of January, a letter of which date states that place to be much quieter than it had been for some months past. " Most of the chiefs," says our lette,e, " came in from the mountains and surrendezed to the French the day before yesterday the anniversary on which they made their first ittack on this place. They have now hoisted the pro tectorate flag with the tricolour in the corner, which we -aluted at twelve o'clock. There was a regatta in the afternoon and a grand display of fireworks and illumi eations in the evening. There are three French frigates (fifty's), a steamer, and a schooner lying h ere . The Uranie has lost 400 men. They have sent for Queen l'omare, who is at one of the adjacent i'lands, but she *ill not come." Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier's secretary is M. James W. Ozzard, 1845, not Mr. James Ozzard, 1613, as erroneously printed yesterday. PLYMOUTH MAY 20.—Her Majesty's steam-vessel Jackal, Lieut. Commander George Western, arrived hero this morning, after a short passage of three days and five hours, from Oporto, where she left her Ma , josty's steam frigate Gladiator, Captain John Robb, and her Majesty's steam sloop Polyphen us, Commander Jas. J. M'Cleverty. Colonel wylde was at Oporto, and has made an inef fectual effort to induce the Junta to accept the terms offered by her Majesty the Queen of Portugal. After a week's deliberation the Junta refused the terms pro posed. It was generally understood that Don Miguel had privately entered and was secreted in that city after having disembarked from an English brig at Villa de Conde, five leagues to the north. The castle of Viana, to the south of the Minho, after a siege of 56 days, had been surrendered to the insurgents by the Queen's troops, who were so reduced for want of food as to be nearly all taken pri9onerts. The Governor of the castle and five officers found re 'age on board the Jackal; from her they joined the Polyphemus, and were conveyed to Lisbon. Lieutenant Western has brought di s p a t c h es f or the Admiralty. Her Majesty's ship Queen, 110, Captain Sir Henry J. Lecke, this afternoon went outside the Sound, beyond t'eulec Point, and returned inside the breakwater in the evening. Her Majesty's ship Caledonia, 120, Captain Hanby H. Dixon, was this 'afternoon towed by the Sir Francis Drake steamer, Captain Sadler, and a Govern ment steam-tug, from Hamoaz" to the Sound. In consequence of the mob at Buckfastleigh last even_ ing having attacked Mr. Searle, a considerable miller of that place, the magistrates met at Ashburton this morn ing, and taking into consideration the riotous course re cently pursued both at Buckfastleigh and Ashburton, determined to send here for military aibl. This after- , noon four sergeants and 100 rank and file of the sth Fusiliers from the Plymonth citadel, under command of Captain Piner and Lieutenant Napp, left for those towns, which are situated 21 and 29 miles to the eastward of Plymouth. - CHATIIAM, MAY 21.—The Semarang, 26 guns, which sailed out of this port to Sheerness on the 17th inst., i to embark a company of the Royal Artillery and twenty five convicts for conveyance to Gibraltar.

(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE THE THING, READING, AND BASINGSTOKE RAILWAY COMPANY. This was a meeting for passing the last examination of the gentlemen who were appointed to make out the balance-sheet. Mr. RICHARDSON, for a shareholder, observed, that he held the Bill presented by this company to Parliament, and by that Bill it appeared that there were five directors, who were to receive five shares each, and there was no mention of that circumstance in the balance-sheet, upon which they now sought to pass their last exami nation. Mr. E. JAMES, for the directors, said that they must receive five shares each, in order to qualify them, and in the present case the deposits upon them were never paid, but, however, it did not affect the balance—that was the best the bankrupts could give. Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD--Yes, but it may not be satisfactory to the Court. Mr. IttenannsoN submitted that there ought to be an adjournment of the case, in order to enable the share holders to make further inquiry. Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD refused to grant the ad journment. Mr. JAMES remarked that in point of fact this gentle man was a bankrupt, instead of a creditor. Mr. DUNCAN interposed by stating that this client (Mr. Atkinson) was a creditor who had proved his debt, and would ask the bankrupts a few questions. Mr. LAWRANCE, for the assignees, must object to Mr. Duncan being heard, on the ground tbat his client had re ceived 20s. in the pound, and 4 per cent. interest. Mr. DuticAN replied that there was a small balance due to Mr. Atkinson by the bankrupts, which was unpaid. Thellon.F. IL Berkeley (one of the bankrupts) wished to state that with respect to the five shares before al luded to, the deposits upon them were never paid, and therefore the balance-sheet was correct. Mr. Everill, solicitor to the company, corroborated ;his statement. Mr. OGLE then rose to address the Court on behalf of a scripholder, when Mr. LAWRANCE objected, that a scripholder had no locus .standi in this court to oppose. Mr. OGLE having referred to the cases of Wralstab v. Spottiswoode, and Wontner v. Sharp, referring to the arguments there used, submitted that he had a right to be heard. _ Mr. LAWRANCE observed that if the Learned Counsel was in a position to prove, he might be heard, because he was either a creditor or a bankrupt. Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD could not allow Mr. Ogle to be heard. Mr. LAWRANCE stated that it was intended to super sede this fiat. All the creditors would receive 20s. in the pound, and it was highly necessary to look into the proofs, because this case must be dealt with as all other bankruptcy cases. Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD—Certainly. The Hon. F. 11. Berkeley was then examined, and stated that he was Member for Bristol, and had become a director of the Tring Railway, but upon whose request he could not now charge his memory. He had not re ceiv ed anything from the company from first to last. Ile never had an allotment of shares, but had received money from the company for his services as director and • chairman, although he had not attended so punctually as he ought, and upon the retirement of the former chair man, he (Mr. Berkeley) was completely thrust into the situation, notwithstanding that he had previously refused it. He was not aware of the amourt he had received for his services, but, however, it was small. Mr. Graham, the official assignee, stated it to be 65/. 2s. Examination continued—The company had capital sufficient for a small portion of the scheme, which they went to Parliament upon. It was a bona fide line, re ceiving the approbation of the landowners. After the Bill was committed, Mr. Duncombe's resolution respect ing railways was passed, which gave a right to the share holders to atop the company before going to the Com mittee, and they directed that the Bill should be drawn, and it was done so. The result was, the bankrupt ap peared at this court. The balance-sheet now before the Court was the best which could be rendered, and he had no notion of concealment or keeping anything back. Mr. GRAHAM stated that there appeared by the ba lance- sheet to have been 200 shares allotted to Mr. Berkeley. Examination resumed—Most certainly not upon his application, and he was never informed that any such allotment had taken place. He had never traded or sold any shares, although he had had ample opportunity, be cause shares were at a premium. Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD—Did you know that these shares were allotted to you ? The Hon. F. H. Berkeley—No, sir, I did not. ' Mr. JAMES—Have you been in communication with the official assignee ? Tho Hon. F. H. Berkeley—Yes. ' Mr. JAMES—Have you given up all the papers, and made the best account:of the company's affairs you can? The Hon. F. 11. Berkeley— Yes, to the best of my knowledge. Mr. GRAHAM then referred to a memorandum in the balance-sheet respecting the allocation of 875 shares. They were placed in the hands of Messrs. Hill and Everill. Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD—And there are only 490 shares accounted for ? Mr. GRAPIAM—Messrs.II and Everill were cre ditors to the company, and have a large claim. They ought to debit themselves with the deposits on 385 shares, being the difference between the 490 paid on and the 875 allotted. Mr. JAMES stated the shares alluded to were never accepted, and were now in court. Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD—Were they not ac cepted so as to make a person liable ? Mr. JAMES—No, sir. Mr. COOKE, for Mr. Saunders, then tendered a proof for upwards of 1,0001., which was admitted. Mr. DUNCAN wished to state that he had not the slightest objection to the Hon. F. 11. Berkeley. After some further discussion, The bankrupts passed their last examination. COURT OF EXCISE, May 21. (Before T. HARRISON, Esq., H. F. STEPHENSON, Esq., and OlenLis Rose, E.q.) Thomas Connor, of No. 22, Wilk-street, Spitalfields, was charged with having in his possession an illicit still. 'Air—Hughes, an officer of Excise, proved finding a still fitted up at the top of the house named in the infor mation, with a quantity of molasses wash, and the usual utensils for distillation, which he seized, and conveyed the same to this office. The defendant said he knew nothing whatever of the business that wascarried on, nor were the premises in his occupation. He let them to a person some time ago, who regularly paid him rent for them, and he produced the rent-book, with the sums entered that he received from the occupier. The COURT inquired why he did not bring his lodger with him? The defendant replied, that he did not know where to find him. For himself, he was but a weaver, and could bring a character from his employer, with whom he had been for the last five or six years. The COURT gave judgment in the penalty of 501., and condemned the seizure. John Wilson , a seaman, employed on board the Vic toria, Leith steamer, was charged with attempting to remove a quantity of spirits, with intent to defraud her Majesty of the duty thereon. The COURT gava judgment in the penalty of 251., and condemned the spirits.
