NOW EXHIBITING, AT THE EGYPTIAN HALL, PICCADILLY, F the most EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBITION of ABORI GINES EVER SEEN in EUROPE, landed in Liverpool by the brig Fanny, Captain Wheeler. TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and a BABY, of the BOSIESMAN 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. _ From the Liverpool Journal ; —"Bosjesmans, or Bush People, from Southern Africa—lnteresting specimens of a most extraordinaryosraee of human beings have been landed in our port ; they are the 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., 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 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 Bosjesmans, see Professor Leiehtenstein's, Barchell's, Campbell's, Backhouse's, Methune's, and Moffatt's Travels in South Africa.

GOLD, SILVER, DIAMONDS, PEARLS, and all the most precious and costly gems, are imitated to such perfection, that but very few uninitiated persons can positively tell a paste brooch or a ring from a diamond, the real pearl from the imitation, or German Silver from the genuine ; but put them into the hands of the connoisseur, how soon the delusion vanishes when he affirms they are but vile and base imitations. So it is with the most valuable inventions as well as stones and metals. None but the inimitable in value are imitated in appearance, and as soon as the consumer (the best connoisseur) attempts to use them, how soon he finds out their utter uselessness. Thus it is with the most valuable of all inventions ; the celebrated METALLIC RAZOR TABLET of GEORGE SAUNDERS has been the target for imitation for the last thirty years. To Gentlemen who shave themselves the following query is pro posed.—Why do all the first cutlers in Europe use and recommend Saunders' Four-sided Tablet Razor Strop ? The answer is simply because it is the only one that gives to a razor a keen and smooth edge. DEPOT, 278, STRAND• To wholesale purchasers a liberal discount will be made. DR.

N.B.—A GRAND TABLE D'HOTE, as on former years on the Cup Day, at Seven P.m. PUGILISM. JOSEPH PHELPS AND SAMUEL MARTIN FOR 100 SOVS. A SlDE.—This contest, which has for some time awakened the liveliest interest iu fistic coteries, was decided on Wednesday in a style that must hereafter set all cavil aside as to the relative capabilities of the two athleta en tirely at rest. It may be remembered that Joseph Phelps, of Brighton, and Sam Martin, of London, met in the latter part of last year for 501. a side, and that Mar tin was defeated, as his friends supposed, by a casual throw. In consequence a second match was made for the like amount, to be brought to issue on Tuesday, March 30th ; owing, however, to some inadvertency in drawing the articles, an error was made by Martin's party in the fourth deposit, and a forfeit was in conse quence due to Phelps ; this, however, was in the hand somest manner waved by Spring, who agreed to place the 401. claimable by Phelps to the account of a fresh match for the increased stake of 1001. a side. This was acceded to, and Wednesday, May 26, fixed for the en counter ; the usual day, Tuesday, being on this occasion passed over, in consideration of that being the settling day for the Derby at Tattersall's. The Nymph was chartered for the trip, and at half-past eight ploughed her way from Waterloo-bridge, touching at Black wall, for the belated West-enders, and such of the " sages of the East" as might feel disposed to witness pugilistic prowess. After a lovely trip beneath a brilliant sun, tempered by a soft southern breeze, and mitigated by floating flakes of summer clouds, the skipper of the craft having cleared Graves end, and ascertained that the " Tugs" which conveyed the " undesirables" were no longer in waiting, put about, and the steamer breasted the down tide in her upward course till she neared Purfleet marshes, on the Essex shore. Here all were pleasantly disembarked at high water, arid the veteran Tom Oliver soon pitched his stakes of navy blue, and reeved therein the double line of hempen cords, destined to form the arena. At a quarter past twelve Phelps tossed his cap within the ring, and five minutes afterwards Martin followed his example. With Phelps came Jem Turner and Sambo, with Martin, Johnny Allen and Bill Jones. The men were ready for action in a few minutes ; but here a hitch occurred in the smooth-going course of affairs. One hour and seventeen minutes were consumed beneath the rays of a meridian sun, to the sad waste of temper, patience, and pounds avoirdupois of the fatter portion of the spectators, before a referee could be agreed on. Why, if parties will thus cavil, do they not agree upon this official beforehand, and then formally ratify their choice on the ground ? At length this time wasting foolery at an end and a referee agreed on, the men stood up. Phelps, the longer and more wiry man, weighed 9st. Sibs., his shorter and more burly opponent, 9st 71bs. Hands were shaken between combatants and seconds, and at thirty - three minutes p as t one the men threw themselves into attitude. It is our practice, and one we shall not depart from on this occasion, to avoid hits,. stops, rallies, and thr ows , the close detail of rounds, and th e unpleasing m i nut i a o f judge? r u h t e h l n p e a Phelps, of thesft wil l 7t e m. o n re a mr b o l au e ns t ef h eo o i fn s eversant tt sh, e amn giving n v .s i ine several in nr m a ring tl e h r e el firsty timesa sff a li break ing i round h rs a t n o ground, tried his left, short, and short again, in a style that told tales of the practice of the sparring school, rather than the realities of actual battle. Martin got in once on the body with his right, but was too short in the reach; at the end he rushed in, closed, and Phelps fell cautiously without harm. In the 2d to the to the 20th rounds Martin had by no means the worst of the hitting. Innumerable clever stops of the lead ing left were made on both sides, Phelps receiving several severe visitations on th e l e f t r ib s f rom Martin's right, and a rap or two on the left eye with perfect stoicism and coolness. He did not, however, let his oppo nent off scot free, for his reach, quickness, and remarkable self-possession enabled him not only to plant severely with his left on Martin's frontispiece, but to get down cleverly and judiciously whenever his adversary's rushing on slaught and forcing style of milling made it prudent to end the round. In several closes Phelps proved himself the better tactician in wrestling; indeed Martin's left ankle appeared weak, and although he drove Phelps se veral times through the ropes, the struggle seemed to be generally in the latter's favour. From the 20th to the 39th round, Martin still made so good a show, and Phelps, though active, resolute, ald springy, seemed so often to suffer from the counters or the blows in the rallies, that Martin's friends held up for him and offered odds. The less prejudiced and interested spectators, however, could see that the thoroughbred frame, cool confidence, and steady style of the Brighton man were telling upon Mar tina; time after time did Phelps job him, propping him effectively and neatly on the retreat, or stopping his left and breaking away, with self-possessed coolness and artistic alacrity. Martin grew wilder and more impe tuous, his deliveries became more random and uncertain. In the 44th round, after some sharp exchanges, Phelps threw him, when he rushed to a close, a heavy downer close against the corner stake. Martin came up all abroad, and contended six rounds more, receiving with out returning, and in the 49th round,. after making two of his Hunt, of successive left-handed pops,. and a ditto from the right, he was thrown, and declined answering the call of in an t d he j v i letity " time." Thus Phelps was proclaimed the winner in 97 minutes, and 49 rounds. The ring having been re-arranged, the second affair came off between CROSS AND HUNT.—Robert Cross is well known as a C lO h s e t ite 6 n lb h . am m , an is ofee equally y e native place. This was an odd affair. Cross hit, stopped, fibbed, and threw his man for an hour, all which Hunt stood with the most inflexible game; occasionally amusing the bystanders by quaint remarks on his opponent's de ficiency in power of hitting; at last, by sheer en d urance, Cross's left hand having been injured by c ontinual con tact with the os front's of his antagonist, th e Chelten ham hero frightened his man out of the battl e b y his apparent insensibility to punishment; indeed, f or several rounds previous to the 61st, which closed th e account, Cross seemed tired of his job, and fell at each onslaught of his game scrambling adversary ; and Jem Turner, who seconded Cross, finding that he was tired of hi s seemingly never-ending job, threw up the sp onge and released Cross from the ring. The winner had all the punishment, the loser having no very soft place but his heart. The fight lasted one hour and fifteen minutes. BOWERS AND ROWE'S MOUSE.—These men contended down the River, near Purfleet, on Tuesday. B owers had the advantage at the opening of the ball, but at the end of 63 rounds, occupying one hour and ten minutes, Bowers was defeated.—Advertiser.

THE EXETER AND CREDITON RAILWAY COMPANY V BULLER. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) The LORD CHANCELLOR said he thought the course taken by the Vice-Chancellor was a proper one. The defendants asked to have the bill taken off the file, be cause they were, in point of fact, the corporation, and the bill professed to be at the instance of the corpora tion. His Lordship felt that to be a very important question, but from the view he took of the other part of the case, it was not necessary to express at that moment any opinion of whether the directors did or did not re present the corporation. His Lordship found from the facts, which were not disputed, that the directors for the time being were authorised by the provisions of the general Act to exercise full power, subject to the control and regulation of any general meeting specially sum moned for the purpose, but not so as to render invalid any act done prior to the resolution :passed at such general meeting. That provision formed a very im portant part of the consideration with respect to the exercise of power by the executive body, for it was quite clear that in many cases, unless the Court inter fered as it had in the present instance, the directors might do acts against the wishes and interest of the shareholders before a general meeting could be called to restrain them. His Lordship had nothing to do with the Great Western Company or the South-Western Company. He only found the directors of the particulnr company -entering into ar t arrangement to do an act which was disapproved of by a body sworn to be a ma jority of the shareholders. His Lordship, after going through the affidavits and commenting on the facts of the case, concluded by repeating that he thought the order of Vice-Chancellor right in every respect, and he dismissed the appeal with costs. There being a question whether the costs might not be charged on the funds of the company, His LORDSHIP gave the parties liberty to apply on that point. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, May 28. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir KNIGHT BRUCE.) GUINESS V. HORNBLOWER. An injunction was moved for and obtained against Mr. Hornblower, a printer, to restrain him from print ing labels similar to those used by the plaintiff, and affixed to his bottled stout. It was stated that there was:only one agent in London authorised by the plaintiff to use his labels, but that George, Turner, Clapham, without authority, had been detected using spurious labels, and when an injunction had been obtained against him, had given up a sheet of these spurious labels, and the name of the defendant as the printer.

The Court afterwards sat at nisi prius, but no case of any importance occurred. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 28. (Sittings in Banco.) The Court was occupied during the whole of its sittings in hearing arguments on demurrer, none of which presented any feature of public interest. PREROGATIVE COURT, May 27. (Before Sir H. J. FUST.) GRIMANI, BY HER ATTORNEY, V. DRAPER AND CRAB- TREE. This is a question respecting the validity of the will of the late Mr. Richard Reed d'Parry, who died at a lunatic asylum, near Coventry, on the 27th of July. 1846, leaving freehold property valued at 6001., and per sonal property amounting to 8,0001. By his will, dated June 7,1846, he devised the freehold to Dr. Seaton, the keeper of the asylum. The will is opposed by Mrs. Grimani, the sister and only next of kin to the deceased. An allegation was now tendered, pleading that the testa• for had recovered the use of his faculties at the time he executed the will. Dr. Addams and Dr. Robertson opposed the admissi bility of the allegation; the Queen's Advocate and Dr. Harding sustained it. The Learned Judge having directed a trifling altera ion to be made iu some of the articles, admitted the al ,egation to proof. RAILWAY COMMITTEES, ROUSE OF COMMONS.-(YESTERDAY.) GROUP XXVII.

WATERFORD, WEXFORD, WICK LOW, AND DUBLIN RAILWAY. A special general meeting of the proprietors of the Waterford, Wexford, and Wicklow Railway was held yesterday, at the company's office, No. 449, West Strand, for the purpose of taking into consideration the draft of a bill to authorise certain alterations of the line, and to amend the Act relating thereto. Mr. Bar low in the chair. The CHAIRMAN stated that the meeting was purely formal, convened under Lord Wharncliffe's Act, to agree to the Bill mentioned in the advertisement. Mr. Perry and Mr. Dixon, two Irish proprietors, raised a lengthened discussion as to the validity of the meetint, the same Bill having been submitted to a former meeting, when it was not voted for by the majority required by the standing orders of the House of Lords. The two honourable gentlemen handed in a protest against going to another vote on the Bill. The heads of the Bill were then read, and The CHAIRMAN moved that the Bill be approved of. Mr. PERRY moved an amendment to the effect, that as the subject had been disposed of at a former meeting it was illegal to proceed with the Bill. The CHAIRMAN declined to entertain the amendment. Mr. DIXON said, then he would move an amendment. It was to the effect, that, as the affairs of the company were so depressed, it was impolitic to proceed with the Bill. The CHAIRMAN declined also to entertain this one. Mr. DIXON would simply move then that the Bill be not approved of. On a division, there appeared 4 for the amendment and 13 against it. The original motion was then put and declared to be carried. BANK OF ENGLAND. (From last night's Gazette.)

MARSHALL, Chief Cashier. Dated the 27th day of May, 184' MANSLAUGHTER.--Thursday night an inquest, ad journed from Tuesday last, was resumed before Mr. W. Payne, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body of Peter Doyle, a tailor, aged twenty-nine, of No. 11, Bell alley, Throgmorton-street, whose death was caused by a man named Fitzgibbon, under the following circum stances :—lt appeared that on Saturday night last the deceased, who was related to Fitzgibbon, called upon the latter at his residence in Dunning's-alley, Bishopsgate, and during the night drank a considerable q uantit y of liquor. Between one and two o'clock on S unda y morn ing a quarrel took place, arising out of jealousy on the part of Fitzgibbon, and a fight ensued. According to the dying statement of the deceased, Fitzgibbon threw him from the top of the stairs to the bottom, and on getting into the yard, jumped with his knees on hi , ' belly. This was said in the presence of Fitzgibbon, who instead of denying it, said he hoped ho had killed him, at the same time making use of the most disgusting language. The deceased, after suffering great pain, was removed to the hospital, where he died shortly after his admission. Mr. Haigh, house surgeon, said he had made a post rnortem examination, and found the cause of death to arise from rupture) of the bladder, produced no doubt from the deceased having been knelt P not from the fall.

VIENNA, MAY. 15a—We receive from all parts of the monarchy the most fa pourable accounts of the condi tion of the winter crop, and th a completion of the sow ing of the summer corn, en which account the prices must necessarily fall. In consequeace of the imperial pro hibition, no corn may be now exported to foreign cowl _ tries. The speculators who, in the prospect of greater gai n have hitherto contrived to keep back large quantities) from the public, will soon be obliged gradually to bring: them to light, in proportion as the harvest approaches. In the two Galician provine es; for it is already known that, that kingdom is dividE al into two Governments, perfect tranquility prevails, s nd the nobility are full of enthusiasm at the prospect that their Majesties the Emperor and Empress will coale in person to Cracow to receive the homage of the kingdom, and that the Arch duke Albrecht will them be installed as Viceroy, prepa rations are already making to gis e a brilliant reception to the imperial guests. BREMEN, MAY 18.—We _understaad that an oraiir nance of the magistrates will speedily appear respecting the forwarding of passengers in ships, especially emi grants, which not only comprehends a better view of the ordinances issued on this subject, but in sevaral points modifies the preceding legal regulations conform ably to the experience that bas been acquired.

BERLIN. " The Allgemeine Preussehe Zeieung," says the Elberfield Gazette, " now pays greater atten • tion to internal affairs, both Prussian and German. We have lately several times met telegraphic dispatches fro 11l Cologne and Coblentz, but we are able to affirm, fro= an authentic quarter, that such a commun i ca ti on o f tele-- graphic dispatches will not be interrupted, and care will, besides, be taken that the' exchange of Paris and London will be forwarded by the same way. That this information may not come to the knowledge of any one before change time, so that an abuse will not be possible, the most satisfactory measures will be taken that they may be always kept under lock and key till the publica tion of the journal." MANREIM, MAY 19.—We may perceive how active thea commerce on the Rhine has become since the opening of' the navigation by the extraordinary number of ships which arrive here ; for instance, the arrivals from Cologne and the Dutch Ports are numerous beyond example ; whereas in the year 1846, from the Ist of March, on which day the first Dutch ship arrived here, till the 18th of May, only 44 ships, with cargoes amount ing to 116,878 cwt., bad arrived here from Holland ; the number from Holland direct from the 27th Feb., 1847, is already 105 ships, with cargoes to the amount of 467,458 cwt. This latter amount contains alone in pulse and flour 272,648 cwt. the greater part of which were forwarded to France and Switzer and. If this amount is deducted from the sum total there still remains 194,800 cwt. of articles belonging to the ordinary trade on the Rhine, that is an excess of 77,922 cwt. over the year 1846, a result which appears he more favourable, since it shows that the otherwise unpropitious circumstances of the times, have not hitherto checked the trade in those articles. CARLSAUHE, MAY 19.—We learn that no competi tion will be invited between architects to offer plans for a new theatre, but that Mr. Hubsch, the architect of this city, received, soon after the fire, a command from the Grand Duke, to draw up a plan, and presented fine a few days ago. According to this plan the new , heatre will be divided into three distinct portions, each fire proof, and every interval will have a broad stone issue of its own. Adjoining the theatre, secured by are-proof vaults, the requisite necessary buildings are to be placed. The site of this new theatre is not yet deter mined.—Haniburgh Papers, May 25. FOREIGN CORN TRADE. BRUSSELS, MAY 28.—The price of wheat for the week ending May 28 was, wheat 42f. 43e., and that of rye 30f. 84c., being a diminution, since last week, of wheat 62c., and rye 70c. ODESSA, MAY 14.—Our market has not been so ani mated as could be desired since last week, owing in a great measure to the want of vessels to bring up the corn, as well as the enormous prices which dealers are obliged to pay for those vessels which can be procured. and for which there i 5 an incessant demand. The price of wheat of inferior sort was 20r. to 25ir. 'or Odessa, and Polish of the third order 24r. to 26ir. for Polish of the second order; good, well condi• tioned, though rather moist, 26ir. to 23ir. for Polish of the first quality._ HAMM:IICH, MAY 25.—Importation and exportation of corn and pulse, from 10th to 20th of May, is as fol lows :—lmportaticn. 1,2741. 91. ; exportation, 7491. 43f: KEIL, MAY 24.—From the 15th to 22d May, we have imported by sea, from inla)ad ports, 16,421 tons corn ; For foreign ports, 3,500 ; total, 19,921. BRESLAU, MAY 22.—Within the last week we have had only a moderate supply of corn in the markets, but account for it because of the preparation for the great wool market, which is now approaching. There was an active demand for wheat and rye, and the prices again fell ; good wheat was sold for 127 to 140 ; yellow, 124 to 138 ; rye, 128 to 133 ; barley, 76 to 88. Oats, like wise, were lower, and the best sort sold from 46 to 47i ; second sort, from 43 to 45. STOCKHOLM, MAY 18.—The prohibition to export grain did not extend to wheat and potatoes, and till this law is in force, there is no doubt that above 15,000 tons will be exported.—Hamburgh Papers, May 26. DEATHS IN WESTMINSTER BRIDEWELL.—Thurs day Mr. Bedford held two inquests in the Westminster Bridewell on the bodies of prisoners who had died therein. The first was respecting the death of Ann Nye, aged 43. The deceased was the wife of a gentle man's servant, living at the West-end, and had a family of four children, but she had lately led such a dissipated life that her husband was forced to live away from her. She was convicted at the Bow-street Police -court on the 14th of the present month, and sentenced to one month's imprisonment, with hard labour, tor being an idle and disorderly person. Her constitution was so broken up by the life she had been leading that she died in the in firmary on Tuesday last. A post niortern examination proved that the lungs were extensively diseased. Ver dict, " Natural death." The second inquiry was con cerning the death of Andrew Sandell, aged 64. The deceased was convicted at the Clerkenwell Sessions of larceny, and sentenced to four months' imprisonment with hard labour. On Wednesday morning last deceased was seized with a fit, which lasted some considerable time. Mr. Levies, the prison surgeon, attended and did all that the nature of his case required, but without success, and he died the same day from serus apoplexy. Verdict in accordance with the medical testimony. THE ASCOT CUPS.—The Emperor's Vase, the gift of the Russian Autocrat, has this year been manufac tured by Messrs. Hunt and Roskiil, under the diretion of Mr. Bayly, the Academician, from a design said to be suggested by Lord Granville, the Master of the Buck: hounds. It is a magnificent vase, of the style of Louis XIV., of polished silver, the handles and projecting fes toons being roughened and richly gilt. Twe whole effect is gorgeous and kingly. There are on the sides two alti relievi, very elaborately modelled and rendered in the silver. One represents a passage in the battle of Pultowa, and the other Peter the Great rescuing ship wrecked soldiers from the waves of the Neva. This superb cup is about three feet and a half in height, in cluding the base, which is also of silver, and on which are represented in bas relief the palace of Gatchino and that of Peterhoff. The inscription is similar to that of last year, and a blank space is left to be inscribed with the name of the fortunate winner. The Royal Hunt Cup, manufactured at the same establish ment, is a group of four figures in silver—a Highlander with two deer hounds, and a stag, the fortune of the chase, which he is preparing to cut up. It is very well modelled, partaking of the Landseer school, and finely finished in the detail. The Gold Cup, presented by tl)! Queen, has been manufactured by Messrs. Gerrr 1 and Elizabeth, very exquisitely mod e lled, and inut beauty. It is the Co., Haymarket. It is a vase great attention to n o the age a rrea o ted with Queen figures of Queen Eliza it.

SUICIDE FROM :MEN TAL A a t NXIETY —L s evening Mr. ffi at 'ggs held an inquest 11 e . t Three Horse Shoes, Water-lane, Strand, on William aed 47 late clerk to Mr. Herbert,rbert, eminent outfitter, corner erbert, the Robinson, g ' of Arundel-street, Strand. It appeared that deceased, having suffered extreme mental anxiety in consequence of the death of a favourite son who perished in the late fire in Guildford -street, Russell-square, and of:reverse of circumstances, had resolved upon self-destruction. On Thursday morning he was found dying, and upon a post-mortem examination by Mr. Dunn it was ascer tained that he had poisoned himself with laudanum. The phial that contained the poison was found in his writing desk. Verdict—" Deceased died from th e effects of laudanum, hut whether be was insane or not when he took the deadly potion there was no evidence to prove." TOLL ON BATTERSEA NEW 13nInGE.---I believe it is intended to impose a toll on the bridge about to be built from Battersea Park to Chelsea. Surely this might be dispensed with ; and as it is to be built with the public money the public ought not to be obliged to p a y for it again, particularly as it is to be formed for the ex p r ess purpose of affording access to a public park, and the use of which will be virtually denied to many of the poorer inhabitants of that vicinity if a toll is to levied on the bridge.— The Builder.
