NOW EXHIBITING, AT THE FGYPTIAN HALL, PICCADILL Y, A the most EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBITION of ABORT GI aES EVER SEEN in EUROPE, landed In Liverpool by tile brig Fanny, Captain Wheeler. TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and a BABY, of the BOSJESMAN or BUSH TitIBE, 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 port; they are the Bosjes mans, or Bush People from the interior of South Africa, of which so much has been written by the taiSsionaries, and the few who have travelled to that far distant region. They are natives of the country berder,ng the Great Orange River, 1,200 or 1,400 allies 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 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., twe males and two females of the genuine Bush man species; they arc in charge of a Mr. J. G. R. Bishop, who has been at considerable trouble and expense in procuring them ftom 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 Boslesmans, see Professor Leichtenstein's, Barchell's, Campbell's, Backhouse's, Methune's, and Moffatt's Travels in South Africa.

Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimetone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an lis. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production 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. 4.-3, Swan-street, Borough."

TTHE CARPET TRADE. ROYAL VICTORIA FELT CARPETING, manufactured without nning or weaving. Patronized by her Most Gracious Majesty, nd used in the Royal Palaces. This description of carpet ing has now become one of the established manufactures of this country. Its advantages are beauty of design (equal to Brussel!), imperviousness to dust, durability, and more especially economy, as it can be-purchased for less than half the price of Brussels. The Patent Woollen Cloth Company, who are the sole manufacturers under the patent,* having availed themse:ves of the rapid strides now making in the arts of design in this country, inform the trade that their patterns for the present season arc now out, and that they will be found far in advance of all hitherto produced, and suitable for every description of rem and decoration. The public can be sup plied through their agents in nearly all the provincial towns In England, Scotland, and Ireland, and at every respectable carpet house In London and its suburbs. They also manufacture table covers and window curtains, embossed and printed, in a great variety of elegant a 'el novel designs ; plain cloths suitable for up holsterers; cloths ad rirably adapted for coach and railway carriage linings; waistcoatings ; thick felt for plate glass and marble polish ing; gun-waddings; and of all thicknesses suitable for pianoforte manufacturers, at a very considerable saving as compared with those made by hand; D'Oyleys, &c.

PaICB SD. FLANDERS, WITCH, and GERMAN _ - PAPERS. DRESDEN, MAY 12.—Tie Saxon and Bohemian Go vernment Railway is now proceeding rapidly ; all the preparations at the Elba-bridge are so far advanced that the foundation of several pillars :is already laid between Dresden and Firma, the foundation is finished, and the upper part may be proceeded with ii the course of this month. Besides 15 engineers and their assistants, 50 official persons, there were at first 1,840 workmen em ployed. HANOVER, MAY 12.—The directors of (di:* iron rail way published their annual report of the state aild pro gress of the work. We see from it that the li;'emer Railway is very far advanced, and that of 90 bridges of different extent, which will be required for that line, the greater part is already completed. Further, that of Hanover and Minden line our share is most forward, and so far as it is expected, the w h o l e w ill b e comp l ete d this spring, that Hesse, Schamsburg, Lippe and Upper Prussia are not so far advan ce d w i t h t h e i r s h ares, yet it is hoped that they will be ready at the same time, espe cially because on the Prussian line there are very few difficulties to be overcome. DUSSELDORF, MAY 15.—T0-day being the time fixed for an endeavour to effect a reconciliation in the affair of Count Hatfield, the Countess had not made her appearance, the Count had come from Berlin on purpose, and was in Coart at the appointed hour. To morrow he will return to Berlin, to resume his place as member of the United Diet. The suit for a divorce instituted by the Count will now take its legal course. POSEN, MAY 15.—The accounts of tumultuous pro ceedings from the north-east circles of our province are extremely deplorable, and have given occasion to the sending of militaty detachments to those parts, to pre vent the most serious excesses. From the circle of Nlogdenan we learn that a band of 500 or 600 ruffians have assembled in the forest, the very worst may be expected. According to private ac counts received yesterday they had attacked the Lordship of Wynger, the owner of which, a German, armed all his people as far as be was able, to resist the band. At the same time he had dispatched a messenger on horseback to fetch a detachment of thirty dragoons, which happened to be in the neighbourhood. The at tack, however, began before they arrived, but they came time enough to give the matter a turn. Eight of the rioters were killed on the spot, and many wounded. Sixty were taken prisoners by the dragoons. Particulars cannot now be given, since the official accounts have not yet been received. It is probable that the prisoner• will be severely punished, for only a week ago it was announced that the rioters should be subject to martial 1... FOREIGN . h eC prohibitionOß N TRADE. of PESTI!, MAY 15 .—The the exporta tion of corn begins to produce its effects on this market the price being on the decline since yesterday. This; measure manifests a much greater effect in th e markets of Wieselburg, Raab, Vesprim, &c., whose prices haw• declined considerably. The fields in our part, and in the Banat look very fine, and there is every prospect of the most abundant harvest. As there are indisputably great quantities of corn in the maga zines, and many landowners, among them ecclesiastics, still refuse to sell, a considerable decline in the price, may be expected. BRUSSELS, MAY 26.—We are enabled, says the Gazette de Mons, to announce the most gratifying infor mation, that several meetings of our dealers at market slave taken place, and they have stipulated to deliver from the 20th to the 30th of June immense quantities 01 wheat at tea francs below the market price this day (May 21). Our last market at Tourney was even more abundantly supplied than last week, and there was again a fall in the prices. Wheat which was last week sold at 47f. has fallen to 12f., and barley which was sold at 31f. fell to 301. The reduction was great at the market of Namur or Saturday. Wheat fell 102 and 103 f. the sack of 100 kilogrammes. There was a largo supply, but trade was not so brisk. There was likewise a reduction in the potatoes, which were sold at 13f. for the sack of 100 kilogrammes, and at the close of the market for even 12.. From Nuremberg, 19th May, we hear that the price of wheat, which in the preceding week was 44f1. the measure, fell on that day to 33f1. Other grain fell in like proportion. The price of hay has also fallen. RIGA, MAY 17.—Notwithstanding the arrival of se veral vessels laden with corn from Beloze, prices con tinue to rise. The price of rye rose from 130 r. to 135 r. on Wednesday, and on Saturday to 150 r., and to-day 175 r. was demanded and given by several buyers. Small parcels of wheat were sold for 185 r.; oats were last week from 81r. to 95r. Yesterday it was sold for 96r. per 75 and 761b5., and at this moment 100 r, is being asked.

Yesterday,adyof T Mrs. h rßanke,oadne e dwellThreadneedle-street," s tknownree camethein b e e it?; w as e t t h h e e LordOid L Mayor to complain of an obstruction which had been laid at her door by a person of the name of Peel. The Court inquired whether she, in return, laid the obstruction at Peel's door ? The old lady hoped that the Court would not make fun of her. It was no joke. The Lord Mayor asked what was the nature of the obstruction complained of ? Mrs. Banke said that it was a heap of rubbish which prevented her from getting into her cellar. She had upwards of nine millions of bullion in that cellar, of which she was unable to get at a mite or morsel ; whilst, owing to the badness of the times, she was actually at her wits' end for a sovereign. The Lord Mayor desired to know how long the ob struction complained of had existed ? Mrs. Banke re plied, ever since 1844. The rubbish had been shot before her cellar-door in that year, and had remained there ever since. Till lately, she had not so much minded the inconvenience, because she had only to put her hand in her pocket to answer all calls upon her. But now her pocket was empty, and she could not get into her cellar. The Lord Mayor wished to know the nature of the rubbish, which, as she alleged, had been shot at her cellar-door by Peel ? The old lady said i t was a parcel of stuff which was called Bank C harter. Tho rubbish had been carted at her door by P eel, at a time when h e was the Government head carter. p b r i e a s y r o u r t suggested h t e h a_c u v 3 e f r r n s mßeauntkoeu carts. should apply lh to the e Lord rollsel.rs.Tßha:koenesawidasthaastbsandeahsattcliideoontehesro,; b t u h t er t e o N n v o as p i u ,o r t i a pin to choose between them ;f e or g iv la n d a i t f thishis Lordship would that one stuck to. She would be would order Peel to take his rubbish away. The Lord Mayor regretted, that, though he was the Sovereign of tho City, he was not an absolute monarch ; he had no power to remove an obstruction which was sanctioned by Act of Parliament. Mrs. Banke said it was a sin and a shame, amrap cl w ie( l t ma e ne n d aher eruinl s of she was in trouble and difficulty herself, and with all sorts for rp:,eapnl want of o d i e depending help,ing u p:th r e e r a , s an sh d e go h in aa g to r e agreed with t h e l• l T i e h v e i o t r h d e mm herperfectly e ß r a c i o k u o ld t t h ry a - n w ke h d at hciosulLdobrde C complain ant. p ill- Mrs. s d h o ip ri , e. and withdrew.— .

The inquest on three of the bodies lying at the workhouse, which is adjacent to the railway, between the broken bridge and the Chester station, was Com menced yesterday (Tuesday), at half-past one o'clock, before Mr. Hostage, the coroner, and a highly respect able jury of twelve gentlemen of Chester, of which Sir Edward Walker, of Chester, was the foreman. The only witnesses examined were those who could identify she bodies. Clayton, the engine-driver, who had so narrow an escape himself, identified the body of the stoker; and the bodies of the two coach drivers having been identi fied by their friends, the inquest was then adjourned to. the Chester Infirmary, where the body of Roberts, the guard, is lying, having been conveyed thither, though it seems the house surgeon, who saw the men carrying it on the Roodee, examined the head, and found it so frightfully fractured that life was then extinct. Clayton having identified the body as that of Roberts, The CORONER intimated to the jury that he should not examine any further witnesses that day, and declared the inquest adjourned to ten o'clock on Friday morning; next, at the Town-hall, Chester, when the inquiry as to. the probable cause of this catastrophe will be entered into. Amongst the parties present at the inquest, were the law-clerk of the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway Com pany, who said he attended for the purpose of offering every facility in the power of that company for making every investigation. On behalf of the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company (the owners of the bridge), Mr. Munt appeared, and voluntarily offered to procure the attendance, on Friday, of Mr. Robert Stephenson, the engineer-in chief of the company, and also to have Mr. Betts, the contractor for the bridge, in attendance. Mr. Lee, the resident engineer of the Chester and Holy head Railway, was also present during the proceedings yesterday. The CORONER, when intimating that he should have scientific evidence on Friday, said he should require the attendance of the engineers of the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company. He also said that-he had requested an engineer to examine the structure, and to furnish him with a report as to the probable cause of the occurrence , on behalf of the Crown.—Manchester Guardian. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—The Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and his Serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen, honoured her Ma jesty's theatre yesterday (Thursday) evening with their presence.

IRRIGATION IN CIIINA.—Rice is grown on the lower terrace ground ; and a stream of water is always lcd from some ravine and made to flow across the sides of the hills, until it reaches the highest terrace, into which it flows, and floods the whole of the level space. When the water rises three or four inches in height, which is sufficiently high for the rice, it finds sent at an opening made for the purpose in the bank, through t a h l e ic s l a t m it e fl m ow an s h i t u r t , o a t l h id e s t o er o r h ac t e bel othe ,w h, -, w w e h st ic . h t In thisflocd )ws way the whole of the rice terraces are kept continually flooded, until the stalks of the crops assume a yellow ripening hue ; when the water being no longer required, it is turned back into its natural channel, or led to a different part of the hill for the nourishment of other crops. These mountain streams, which abound in all parts of the hilly districts, are of the greatest importance to the farmer ; and as they generally spring from a high elevation in the ravines, they can be cond uc t e d at plea sure over all the lower parts of th e hill s . Nu operation in agriculture gives him an d hi s l a b ourers more pleasure than leading these streams of water from one place to m pl y ea a s t e t d en u t t i e o tu n tom much h is IN b .h rt e tn n c l h e o x f pr t e h s e s i e r dc o ,mh p ri i e yrn r ap a a i t ai io mu another, and making them subservient to their purposes.

The practice is not confined to the paddy-fields, for I remember once, when superintending the planting of some large trees and shrubs in the garden of Messrs.

A MILKMAN'S CONFESSION. —A German bad made a fortune in Philadelphia by selling milk. He started home with two bags of sovereigns. On ship board ho counted one bag of t• - casure. A mischievous monkey wag Watching his opel atious. As soon as it was replaced and tied up, and the other bag emptied, Jack() snatched up the full one, and was soon at the masthead. He open:d the German's bag, and after eye ing the pretty gold, he proceed to drop one piece upon the deck, and another in the water until he had emptied the bag. When he had finished, the German threw up his hands, exclaiming, " He must be the dyvel, for what came from the vater he does give to the vater, and, what came from the milk he gives to me." SHOPPING IN LONDON. The Prado at Madrid is a charming promenade ; the sunny gaiety of the Boulevards in Paris is delightful, not more so, perhaps, than the well shaded Unter den Linden in Berlin ; but where can you find so joyous and brilliant a scene as Regent-street, on a fine day in the season. Where can you find so many splendid shops, and so many beautiful faces looking into them ? What Magasin de Nouveautes, for instance, can display a more choice selection of shawls and dresses, than Allison's in Regent-street, which now includes three spacious houses. This establishment has a plain sub. stantial appearance, contrasting forcibly and favourably with the tawdry frippery displayed elsewhere. The middle shop is about 150 feet deep, that on the left is exclusively devoted to shawls and mantelets, whilst that on the right is a veritable boudoir, where ladies may sit at their ease, sheltered from the gaze and busy hum of the crowded thoroughfare without, and select their dresses in undisturbed extravagance. The savants have not yet attained sufficient power of atmospheric pres sure to realise Pope's words, " Waft a sigh from Indus to the Pole," yet they have succeeded in speeding the soft intercourse between France and England to such an extent that the Protean fancies of fashion fly over the Channel like carrier pigeons. If you cross the street, the first object that attracts the eye (especially if you have been some time absent from town) is the London general mourning warehouse. This maison de deuil is the most important emporium of the kind in London, and affords a striking proof of the ad vantages derived by the public from a subdivision of trade. Mr. Jay has a display of family, court, and com plimentary mourning, which excels in variety and extent the combined collections of other establishments. Amongst the novelties introduced for the present season, is an airy, exquisite fabric, called the barege mousseline, invented by Mr. Jay himself, and which will probably become immensely popular with the ladies, whom we strongly recommend to visit this far-famed establishment. Seldom does the adventurous spirit of the flaunting deni zens of May fair entice them to explore the mazes of that mysterious labyrinth which lies east of Temple-bar, and which contains shops as sumptuous in their decorations, and as recherches for their marchandises as the most cele brated establishments of the far west. Where shall we find so apt an illustration of our assertion as the hand some structure which Messrs. Ross and Sons have raised to be at once the ornament of Bishopsgate-street, and the point d'attrait in the city, the ceiling of the lofty chamber consacri a la coupe des cheveux is a chef d' oeuvre of the limner's art, and afford a perfect imitation of porcelain. Moreover, these people are always bringing forward some charming ,novelty to relieve the ennui of their blasé customer, Hannibal and Napoleon scampered over the Alps, thinking only of glory and trampling upon the secret flowers which blushed unseen in their path. These, however, have been carefully collected by W. Ross, and converted into a scent, la reine des Alpes, which sheds the most delicious perfume that ever was poured upon an embrodered kerchief.—Post. A Y ACIIT CAPSIZED IN A SQUALL.—The greatest consternation wa s produced at Beaumaris , Anglesey, on Whit Monday l ast, a pleasure . beat, with six persons on board, belonging to the town, having gone down, within sight of their relatives and friends, and at about half , T pi3tol-shot from the promenade. party had gone out in the morning on a fishily' , excursion in the direction of Amiwich, there being what sailor With s calla su " c e c a e P ss fu t i h i they wind and a bit of a sea on." plied their nets it is impossible to say at present, the a sole survivor being in too weak state to render any account of the day's proceedings. Let it suffice, that of with the return tide and coming-on night the vessel was homeward bound, and had gained the Roads about seven o'clock, by which time c the wind had freshened to cross-sea, a gale, producing a heavy such as no small craft would choose to be abroad in, in a ,when, on making a tack, and before the vessel had way on, she was struck by the wind and sea at the same and went down by the stern. Some of the b ni e r o o a m r r e t e y nt, were observed struggling with the waves, and boat could reach them, which it tried in vain to do, they a ept off by the tide. Another boat. at the possiblegreatestt ere risk, I went up the straits in the direction of the o ti f d a e, and at a considerable distance picked up the body youth, in whose arms an oar was firmly grasped. The rest of the party could not anywhere be met with, living or dead, all having perished miserably. The lad was brought to Beaumaris, where means for his recovery were had recourse to with partial success. Nothing remains but to give the names, &c., of the unfortunate Mr. George Owen, druggist ; Mr. Thomas p L a l r o y d —v A i ' Sparkman, officer of Excise; Mr. Jones, painter y Hug '' ' . Tyrer, an old seaman who had weathered many ' a gale; -h and Roger Hayes, aged 16 (saved). The decline in the value of grain in the markets of the French departments continues, and under the in fluence of fine weather the average fall, according to the last intelligence, is from If. to 3f. per hectolitre. The accounts of the crops are at the same time of the most satisfactory kind. At Etampcs all descriptions of grain were in a forward state, and the harvest will, it is thought, prove excessively abundant.
