Having spent the whole of my life in active pursuits, both official and commercial, within the Cities of London and Westminster, my character and my opinions upon the great political subjects which have for some years bean ti,:der public discussion, are too well known to require explanation. I profess a firm adherence to those opinions and a determination to act upon them, whenever occasion Shall require. I shall, at the same time, be always ready to unite with men of all parties in endeavouring to effect such improvements in our social institutions, ❑s may be considered likely to tend to the pre serration of our admirable Constitution in Church and State, and the bettering the condition of the people. Being an Alderman of the Corporation of London, if it should be your i..zasure to honour me with your confidence, I shall have an additional satisfaction in seeing a revival of the period when it was the custom that the representation of the City, should include one or more of that body. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your most obedient servant, JOHN JOHNSON. London, May 14, 1847.

As probably a few days will determine this question, I shall act most in accordance with my own feelings (especially as I acted as Chairman of his Committee at the last Election) to respectfully wait that decision. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen and Brother Electors, Your faithful servant, JOHN BAG - SHIITE. 17, Gloucester-place, Portman-square, May 15, 1847.

A LECTURE on the BOSJIEMAN RACE (Pigmies) of SOUTHERN AFRICA, unquestionably the most extraordinary race of mankind, as well physically as intellectually, will he DELIVERED Tots EVENING, at Eight r.m., by ROBERT KNOX, M.D., F.R.S.E., Corresponding Member of the Academie Royale de Medecine, and Lecturer on Anatomy and Physiology. This Lecture is particularly addressed to those interested in the exciting events new going on In South-Eastern Africa, in the Kalltr War, in the great question of race, and the probable extinction of the Aberightal races, the progress of the Anglo-African Empire, and the all-important questions of Christian mission, and human civilization in that quarter of the globe. In illastration of the Lecture, Dr. Knox wilt introduce to the notice of the physiologist and man of science Five Itosliemans, or Bush people—two males, two females and infant, the only specimens of this singular race of human beings that ever ♦isited Europe. Admission: reserved scats and platform, 2s. 6d. ; body of the hall and west gallery, Is. Entrance to the platform and reserved seats from the Strand; to the body of the hall and west gallery from Exeter-street. Tickets may be had of Mr. Renshaw, Medical Book seller, 356, Strand; the Medical Times Office, Essex-street; and at the usual places. rHE MOST EXTRAORDINARY EX[IIBI -11 of ABORIGINES EVER SEEN in EUROPE, landed in Liverpool by the brig Fanny, Captain Wheeler, and will be EXHIBITED, for the first time, at the EGYPTIAN HALL, Pic cadilly, early in the ensuing week. SOUTH AFRICAN ABORIGISES%—TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and A BABY, of the BOSJIEMAN or Busii 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 oppor tunity 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 Enland, at an immense outlay of capital. On the passage to Europe a baby was horn at sea, thus adding to the great interest that must be excited by their appearance. (From Moffatt, the Missionary's Work on Southern Africa, page 53.) " Poor Bushman ! Thy hand has been against every one, and every one's hand against thee. For generations past they have been hunted like partridges in the mountains. Deprived of what nature had made their awn, they became desperate, wild, fierce, and indo mitable in their habits. Hunger compels them to feed upon every thing edible. Ixias, wild garlic, mysembry anthantams, the core of aloes, guns of acarias, aid other plants and berries, some of which are extremely unwholesome, constitute their fruits; whilst almost every kind of living creature is eagerly devoured, lizards, locusts and grasshoppers not excepted. The poisonous as well as iIIIIOXiOUS serpents they roast and eat. They carefully extract their bags or reservoirs of poison, with which they cover the points of their arrows." For particulars of the habits and disposition of the Bosjiemans, see Professor Leichtenstelifs Barchells, Campbell, Backhouse, Methunes, and Ntotiatt's Travels in South Africa, and the works of Dr. Knox, on the Variety of the Human Race. Admission One Shilling, and Reserved Seats Two Shillings and Sixpence. THE BOSJESMANS, or BUSH PEOPLE, AT EXETER HALL. TICKETS for the LECTURE of DR.

THE ATRAPILA.TORY, OR LIQUID HAIR DYE—the only dye that really answers for all colours, and does not require re-doing but as the hair grows, as it never fades or acquires that unnatural red or purple tint common to all other dyes. Ross and Sons can, with the greatest confidence, recommend the above dye as infallible, if done at their esta blishment; and ladies and gentlemen requiring it, arc re quested to bring a friend or servant with them to see how it is used, which will enable them to do it afterwards without the chance of failure. Several private apartments devoted entirely to the above purpose, and some of their establish ment having used it, the effect produced can be at once seen. They think it necessary to add, that by attending strictly to the instructions given with each bottle of dye, numerous persons have succeeded equally well without coming to them. Address Ross and Sons, 119, and 120, Bishopsgate-street, the celebrated Perruquiers, Perfumers, Hair-cutters, and Hair dyers.—N.B. Parties attended at their own residence, what ever the distance.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] -A REMARKABLE CURB OF Ibtorsv, By HOLLOWAT'S PILLS.—At Wootton, near Bedford, re sides INIr. John Robinson, sen., an opulent farmer, who some time age, was in a most dangerous state, from dropsy, being nearly double his ordinary size. He was given over by his medical attendants, and was, at the time, not expected to live three days ; yet from this hopeless state he was cured by taking Holloway's Pills. This gen tleman is well known in all the market towns of the county. The wonders that this fine medicine does in all cases of dropsy is truly sur prising, and those who are labouring under this dreadful complaint should certainly try this remedy. Sold by all druggists, and at Pro fessor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MAY 14.—The demand has rather improved, and prices are . rather better ; a f a i r amount of business has been done d uringthe week, and the market closed steadily. Rum continues in free demand.— Brigul Mercury,. EPSOM RACES. EPSOM, SATURDAY Nrcir.—The entries having taken place this afternoon, we a t enabled to submit a full pro gramme of the four days' egagements, from which, and the numerous list of arrivs given underneath, we are entitled to anticipate a •apital meeting. Active pre parations are in progress o the course, which is agreed to on all hands is in the bespossible condition for running. The " pull up," as we sta'd a day or two since, has been vastly improved by the reaoval of a portion of the paling of Sir Gilbert Ileathcot's paddock, as the horses in future, instead of runnit; towards and perhaps into the town, at the imminent rk of collision with some of the carriages invariably colleted in this neighbourhood, will take a gentle curve to to left, and will be pulled up in the paddock. The grad stand has undergone several improvements. Amorist them is the erection of a gallery at the end nar the winning chair, for the use of the stewards this will afford an excellent view of the races, and will, we trust, lead to the demolition of the ntiquated, worm-eaten edifice on the opposite side of th course, so many years used as a weighing stand, it hs long ceased to be either useful or ornamental. The luties of the course will be en trusted to the same idividuals who officiated last year, Mr. Clark being engaged as judge, Mr. Hibberd as starter, Mr. Manning as clerk of the scales, and Mr. Starling as clerk of th course. Mr. Lumley will have the management of tie refreshment rooms, in which he made a very satisfatory delnit at the Spring Meeting; we have reason to beieve that the tariff of prices will be on a moderate scale. the Epsom Branch of the Brighton line has been opened some days, and as it has hitherto proved particularly 'slow," we trust it will also be found "sure." The South-Western also offers great facilities, and as the means of a•-comrnodation on the new line have not yet been very satsfactorily tested, we have no doubt it will come in for lo liberal share of patronage on the two great days. The racing willcommence at two o'clock to-morrow, with The CRAVEN STAKES of 10 sous. each, for three yrs old, 6st Blb ; four, Bst 101 b ; five, 9st 41b ; six and aged, 9st 10lb.

(From the Second Edition of the Sunday . Times.) The morning rose beautifully, presenting an aspect clear and glowing—radiant, in short, with the promise of a brilliant day. It was, however, soon thickly over clouded, to the sore discouragement of a vast miscel laneous crowd of persons, who had availed themselves of the early trains to be in " good time " to see the high. bred cattle take their gallops on the Downs. Bat for such facilities most of them, we will venture to say, would have keen snoozing snugly in their beds, dream ing, perhaps, of "lucky draws,' ; : and heaps of glittering prize money! Rain fell heavily for upwards of two hours, the clouds then gradually dispersed, the sun shone forth again in full splendour, the galloping ground was quickly thronged by the gathering multitude._ Strings of hones came forth, and the surrounding scene became animated, in teresting, and picturesque in the highest degree. Barring three or four groups of gipsies, we were the earliert on the Downs. Ugh ! how they dripped, and shook, and shivered, as they stood huddled together under the skeleton booths. At half-past five, Van Tromp, accompanied by Eryx and Plaudit, made their appearance on the ground, and re mained exposed to the "pelting of the pitiless storm, " which fell in torrents, for upwards of an hour, the pru dence of which, under any circumstances, is consider ably questionable. At ter walking about for some time he took a couple of gentle canters from the bottom of the Derby hill to the old mile starting post. From this spot he walked to Tattenham corner, where he was again "set a-going," but merely cantered to the end— the rain pouring in torrents all the time. We walked beside "the crack" for some distance, scrutinizing him as closely as circumstances would admit ; and it was our decided impression that he has lost much of his action —that his preparation has been but a moderate one ; and that there were sufficient grounds for the report that his fore-legs have been rather queerish ; both wore boots. He was the pet of our fancy last year, and we then considered him the finest two year old of the season ; but comparing him with animals of his own class now, we do not discover that superiority of ap pearance which so eminently distinguished him as a two year old. The appearance of Mr. Martin caused a great deal of interest, and ho was surrounded by crowds anxious to get a peep at this animal, who has, throughout the win ter, and especially within this last fortnight, been one of the prominent features of the Derby betting. Our readers are well aware that after the running of Mr. Mostyn's horses at Chester Mr. Martin became a great favourite, and as little as eight to one was taken about him for the Derby. Within the last week, however, he has retrograded considerably, and went to the right about—on the strength of the trial on Tuesday, we believe with The Swallow and Sagacity, in which we understand he only beat the Chester winner by a length, with some difficulty. This morn ing he took several canters and galloped the Derby course twice, pulling up on both occasions as fresh and dry as perfect condition could make him. ITo was ac companied by the Quilt Arnold filly, who appeared to have little the worst of him—indeed, so well did she look, and went in such racing-like form, that we conceived a notion that we shall see a repetition of the Queen of Trump's victory for this race. Mr. Martin is as good a looking animal as any on the ground; and though we did not like his action up the hill at first, we fancied when laid down to his work that he will prove a very dangerous horse, and worth an invest ment at his present price. Stebbing's string consisted of Bedouin, Assault, and Flatcatcher. The Derby nag we did not like, but Flat catcher is a very racing-like two year old, and will make flats of those who happen to be against him tor the Woodcote, on Tuesday. Sister to Dexterous, a remark ably fine mare, galloped with them. Giraffe and Brown Bess took solitary canters. Miss Sarah (who looked in her old form) led Chain bearer and the Miss Whip colt a good gallop, and we question whether many in the race will not find it diffi cult to measure the capabilities of the Chainbearer. He is a fine powerful horse, with good stride and splendid action. Miles's Boy (with Whitehouse up) led Wanota two Eteady - gallops over the Derby course. Both had their fore-legs bandaged; and Wanota (who does not appear to be the least grown since last year) appeared very stale and " dickey" in that quarter. In action he "peddled" and went too wide behind to please us. With others, however, he found favour. Satyr, Signet, and Sultana did not create much sensa tion by their exhibition. On the contrary, War Eagle did, and justly so. He looked in blooming condition; and, with little Bi lly Marson on his back, went as " free as a bird." He mounted the hill several times in a style . to make his enemies quake in their shoes;aond_ot_wta no galloped the Derby course in a manner whi ch doubt of Newmarket his"staying" formqualiistimess.nifilesit.s vast improvement upon his Marquis of Conyngham and Dockeray p 's o s n tr j in o t with the filly by (which came out at Chester and was claimed) were also out. u th t o *S f la A r The only Goodwood nags we saw were Awkward (2 year old) and Queen Mary. The remainder will be there on Monday. The stable, it is said, will have five a il n e d ßo m tt o o n m t. , tr ew Six or six starters. Pack's ed o f string Administrator, ason and Ch c a o r nlessistEra,M pensier, all looking well. The Frenchman is a good looking, middle-sized, racing -like horse, but rather de ficient in power ; he ha s , however, very smooth neat action. The New Era appeared to us to have consider aby the best of the gallop. Limestone and Maid of Motherwell were both liked, the mare in particular ; • she will run very forward for the Oaks. JOHN SCOTT'S TRIAL Came off at noon on B.lturday, and the result was as follows: Don Cesar 1 Bowstring ... 2 Christopher Cast Steel filly beaten off. Bingham and Epirote were not in it, Dun Coosa mks beaten twice in the rirs; spring Meeting at Newmarket, by two such moderate animals as Vert Vert and Cocoa Nut. Bowstring's chance, there fore must be very stringy. There was no betting on the Dotns. ,Forth's "lot; consisting of Oxonian, Old Port, Good Coin, Laundry Maid, Caversham (2 yrs), Noiseless (Oaks), and Wintonia, were hourly expected at Ash.. stead. John Day's lot will be there on Tuesday. Our opinion of Oxonian has been materially strengthened since our first edition yesterday ; and we confidently expect to see him pull through triumphantly. Aliwal (who.was out) will be ridden by Wakefield ; and Red Hart will have Henry Bell up, instead of Ab dale, as'stated in our list of probable starters. T TOTIiB EDITO R prospect zeT s oul H forthcoming stirring S ri U n; N. ho glorio us carnivalt on the Downs of Epsom, during meet ing is quite exhilarating. The festival of Wednesday next will completely take the shine out of all its pr p ed from the days of Banbury and Diomed, to a nd Gully D Pyrrhus Eps om's the First; never has ther e b een seen on far-famed Downs so great a multitude o f a l l classes, from the Peer to chimney-sweep, as will be assembled on that delectable spot on the Derby day. During the past week, Cossack and Conyngham with Van Tromp close up, have, notwithstandin g, a goo d pep . paving., been very buoyant at the " corner.' Mr. M artin on the contrary has lost caste rapidly, and is now virs tually az outsider. Mirmillo's marvellous jump on Friday, from 1,000 to 15, to 20 to 1 taken, looks very ominous; he was tried not quite a fortnight ago, and found to be a clipper, consequent upon this trial he was posted off to Newmarket, for the Suffolk Stakes which he won very, very easily, with lots to spare, his admirers think he can and will win the Derby, we shall see. The other moves of the week do not require any notice whatever. The field for the Derby Stakes will be taken from the following, viz:— Nottingham, Bingham, The Questionable, Golightly, Planet, Gabbi er , Gl ent il t , Cr oz i er, Vice onsul, War Eagle, Epirote, Bedlam, Montpensier, Wanota, Camel. ford, Van Tromp, Oxonian, Chainbearer, Mirmillo, Mathematician, Buckskin, New Era, Timour, Will-o'- the-Wisp, Lionel, - Limestone, Mr. Martin, Old Port, The Liberator, Retort colt, The Cossack, Conyngham, Ittd Hart, Halo, Good Coin, Phil oso ph er , Ul ysses, Signet', Christopher, The Admiral, Bowstring, Black Dwarf, Aliwal, Clarendon, The Reiver, and Eryx. From this lot about thirty will be selected as starters, what their names are at this present moment no mortal power can tell, but to-morrow, in giving my last observations on this " first of races," I have no doubt I shall' be able to furnish a correct list of the quadrupedal opponents. The Questionable, Golightly, Gabbler, Crozer, Vice Consul, Bedlam, Camelford, Buckskin, Wilke-the- Wisp, Christoph e r, Th e ,Admiral, Aliwal, Clarendon, and Eryx; form that well-known class , who possess not the most remota shadaw.nf a ch.......larutsiag, the post first, but who arc generally sent to cut ons the work for their more speedy stable companions. Ilan `now proceed to scan the merits of the thirty-two fortunate nags sup posed to possess a chance in this Derby " lottery." Not tingham, by Colwick out of Ellen, first on the list, bat not first in the race, is but a very moderate animal, his only performances this year being at Liverpool,when be won the Sefton Plate, beating a crew of second rates; it is said he has improved considerably of late, but whether or no he cannot have any pretensions to the Derby. Colonel Anson's Bingham will run well. Planet, by Bay Middleton, out of Plenary, will, after all, be Kent's horse, being, in the opinion of Lord George Bentinek, second to nothing in the race but Van Tromp; in fact, he has often expressed an opinion that the Derby will be decided thus— Van Tromp Planet 2 and his opinion in such matters is by no means to be despised. exlentilt, by Plenipotentiary, out of Glen/in, has not looked particularly blooming of late—his chance is gone. War-Eagle --a very inferior eagle to war with. Epirote, the son of Epirus and the Mickleton Maid, will cut a much better figure than is generally expected. Montpensier—a candidate for the sixth place. Wanota ; doubtless a clever nag, and particularly clever at shutting up early. Oxonian, by Wintonian, dam by Laurel, out of Flight, a very flighty pedigree, not likely to fly off with the laurels to Mitchell Grove ; his owner can send forth a better horse by 101bs. than this. Chainbearer cannot stay the distance. Mirmillo, by Gladiator, out of Morella, will run game, but that i s all I can sa y in his favour. _ _ Mathematician will have had enough by the time he arrives at the distance post. New Era, by Plenipotentiary, out of the Era's dam ; if very good blood, condition, and power can pull him through, he will not be far from winning ; and yet he is not in the slightest favour among the knowing visi tors of the corner. Timour—Sir Gilbert's only starter, out of three no minations, all very inferior. Lionel and Mr. Martin may as well stop at home, so may the Retort colt and Mr. O'Brien's Sheet Anchor— the Liberator, not one of the lot will be able to live the pace. - Mr. Merry's Limestone, out of Decoy, will not attract my cash. Old Port, by Sir Hercules, out of Beeswing, a splendid drop of Beeswing for Mr. Worley. He is a fine lengthy animal, shoulders well laid back, immense quarters, capable of ascending the hill with ease, and will have half the field safe before he arrives at the road. Day's two have been running, for some time, a neck and-neck race for the premiership, with Van Tromp close upon their heels. In my fancy, this very much resembles the lace of Wednesday next, at the Stand . ; most probably Cossack will be very forward until the Van arrives nt the stand; then the work will be taken up by Conyngham, Van Tromp, and another or two, vhieh will end as hereafter stated. The distance is rather too far for the Cossack, but it suits Conyngham very well indeed. Red Hart and Halo will run nothing more. Ulysses—a largc horse, half prepared. Loid Strathmore will not seal the stakes with his Signet. Lord Stanley's Bowstring will not be pulled to any advantage at E psom, _ .• The Black Dwarf 's chance is dwarfish indeed. The Reiver and Eryx must look out for smaller fry. Last of all, we come to the wi n t er crac k , hight Van . Tromp, the unbeaten wonder, who, ala Sting, disposed of every antagonist quite cavalierly, and now, still fol lowing Sting's example, he will succumb to a more for tunate rival. At the present time, my candid opinion is, that Cossack will resign his lead at the Stand to Conyngham, Van Tromp, and Old Port, New Era, Mir millo, Planet, and Montpensier, being well up. The struggle then commences, and, after a desperate race, finishes in favour of Conyngham Van Tromp Old Port The Woodcote Stakes will start a good field, with Flatcatcher or Woodcraft for winner. As a " Counsel in Chancery," I advise my clients to read this brief, and if in doubt, to take the benefit of the Act, for every word contained in this letter is founded on fact, and is the result of long experience. As yet, I have never been wrong on the Derby. Last year I named Fancy Boy and Pyrrhus the First for my champion ; the year before, The Merry Monarch ; and this year, with Conyngham, Van Tromp, and Old Port, I think I can pull through again. A list of the starters, and any observations that may come under my notice in the course of the next twenty four hours, I will give, in a brief epistle, to-morrow. I am, Sir, yours, &c. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. May 17, 1847. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—As it is the custom now among certain wise men (not of the east, but the turf) to imitate Lord Byron by putting their inspirations into rhyme, I have sent the follow ing prophetic dream "done into verse" for your approval and that of your readers, on the all-absorbing subject of tho coming Derby:— The bell has rung; all to the post do hie, To view the horses and pronounce their judgment; Which done, they range them in a row, Preparing for the start. The course is cleared, The horses paw the ground; Hardly the second bell is heard Amid the din around. " They're off I They're off I" is heard from every mouth, Though all join in, yet still 'tis not the truth; The start is false, and at the post again they muster, Once more the signal's given —They're off! and in a cluster. As to make dust fly, like hailstones on a stormy day, Bingham takes the lead, and at a fearful pace makes play. Cossack closely follows, and soon in front he shows, But suddenly recedes, as if affected with the slows. Bingham resumes the lead, War Eagle in his wake; Oxonian now appears, running for Old Port to make. The hill's ascended; Bingham's still ahead: Planet advances, and with long stride the lead He takes With Cossack and Van Trom p pthe th the Corner ' s Here Epirote his horses head , and he Corner's el n e e e a r r e ed a. ; . t The Dutchman, with Conyngha m an Bed Bart follows, The Liberator's next, who afte r Conciliation halloas. d Old Port, Mathematician , and Glentilt bring up the rear, With M iontpenser, Halo, and Ulysses very near. Bingham, War Eagle, Epirote, here give up; Mr. Martin with Mr. Mostyn goes to sup. O xo nian's mission now performed, he back retires; Old Port's hard held; and Planet to the lead a s pi res .

No. 17,054. Paid SD. TRAINED BY May 17 PROPHECY FOR THE DERBY, 1847. Well, the Derby is near ; l'm again at my post, Regardless of what may be won or be lost, To pick out from the list which the Derby will win, And back him you may, but not through thick and thin % Because I at times have put the thing right, On the present occasion may be in a plight; And the Prophet who oft told the nags that would win May now be quite out instead of quite in. Having named the Two first for this subject last year, I also pulled through with the MENDICANT mare. No other I named, I saw nought in the race, With the stout BEGGAR Gull., that could long live the pace, Sin TArrori, THE BARON, and wonderful FOIGII. For the Leger I, luckily, pulled from my bag. But, now for the nags, let us see what they are, And look 'em well round, and their merits compare ; VAN TROMP, if he be in his two-year old form, Will yet show his chance anything but forlorn ; If CON YN G liAlt'S able the distance to stay, Like pteut gmix-A-BALLOCUI, may still clear the way, • the ,ugb en-" bust' 'here and r's I shed iy,d to ill e ,dOl O l op o f e d og , e %' 30b. ailler, q uiet. scowl wev er iitipll Wren' 3ustet v-bar' ) f the hal f " 3 been 1 th• .J~ . 1 e 1 I
