GENTLEMEN, WHE N I first solicited the h onour o f your re presentation, I distinctly stated that in the event of my services being required I should at once consult your wishes, and retain or resign my scat, as you might determine. I beg now to inf,rm you that her Majesty's Government have thought proper to order me to hoist my flag, and, although the term of my absence may not be of long duration, I feel it my duty at once to redeem my pledge. My anxious desire is to continue your representative. I have held that high situation for six years, and I think I have done my duty fearlessly and conscientiously. A dissolution of Parliament Is shortly expected, and I shall either stand again or resign, as you may decide.—l have the honour to rervin, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, CHARLES NAPIER, 8, Duke-street, St. James's, May 13, 1847, ( TO THE ELECTORS OF THE EASTERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF SURREY. GENTLEMEW, - 1- - ACCEP I! with pride and with pleasure the AL invitation to become a Candidate for the Representation of East Surrey, conveyed to me in a requisition from such a portion of body, as leaves me no doubt of their ability to carry their wishes into effect, by returning me to Parliament. I agree entirely with the opinion expressed at the meeting, held at the Bridge-house Hotel, that the Liberal Candidates should cordially co-operate, and shall have great satisfaction in uniting my Interest with that of the tientlemen whom you have invited to share with me the honour of your support. The irincip'as on which I offered myself as a Candidate for your suffrages in 1837, and which I have seen no reason since to change or modify, are now to a great degrea adopted by many who were at that time strenuously opposed to them. Those principles were, from my earliest youth, inculcated on me by the example and in structions of my father. From hum I learnt that as the legitimate object of every Government is tke happiness and well-being of the people, so the means of effecting that object in a free state like ours, must emanate from the people themselves. I am therefore anxious to extend to them as large a share of liberty and power as they arc capable of enjoying and of exercising to their own ad vantage. To secure the benefits and prevent the-misuse of that power, I wish to have the blessings of education diffused as exten sively as possible ; and for that purpose, I hope to see devised a system of national instruction, unencumbered by tests or conditions, by which the children of any class or sect could be excluded from its 1 1 inestimable benefits. lam opposed to all restrictions upon commerce. I hailed with heartfelt joy the triumph of Free Trade principles in my own country, and it affords me constant gratification to witness their at, advance throughout the civilized world. But their yet remain more to be done at horns ; those who have abandoned what they consi dered protection, claim, in turn, to be relieved from burdens which press most heavily upon them. The agricultural body de mand the repeal of the Malt Tax, and I think some other and less obnoxious impost should be substituted. Indeed there is scarcely any branch of the excise, which is not a fruitful source of immorality, vexation and fraud. It is surely the duty of the legislature to raise the supplies for the public service with the least possible pressure on the industrious classes, whose snore extended command of the com forts of life, is among the surest results of wise government and the best pro of general prosperity. My property and residence in the county of Surrey, give me a na tural interest in all questions affecting the local welfare of every por tion of its inhabitants, and you may rest assured my best attention, and care, shall be devoted to such of those questions as may, from time to time, come before Parliament. I have the honour to be, GENTLEMEX, Your faithful Servant, P. J. LOCKE KING.

GENTLEMEN, TN compliance with a Requisition addressed to me _IL by upwards of 1,200 Electors, I readily declare myself a CAN DIDATE for the honour of representing East Surrey in Parliament ; and it affords me the greatest satisfaction to find myself associated with a gentleman whose principles—l hare reason to believe—arc so much in accordance with my own. My political opinions were made known to you in 1841, when I declared myself an advocate for a total repeal of the corn-laws. It was then my conviction that commercial restrictions were impolitic; and it has been some compensation for the defeat I then experienced, to see the principles of free trade, so soon and almost universally re cognised among civilised nations. The corn-laws having been repealed, and protection to the farmers withdrawn, justice requires that protection to others should no longer be continued. I am therefore ready to vote for a repeal of the malt tax, and for the abolition or reduction of many other duties on the comforts and necessaries of life, which press heavily on the working classes. I am an advocate of that gradual extension of the elective fran chise which the progress of knowledge is fast rendering necessary. Of religious liberty in its full sense I am a staunch supporter. My self a sincere member of the Established Church, I claim for others the same freedom of judgment which I enjoy. Having always taken a deep interest in the subject of education, I trust the time will shortly arrive when its inestimable blessings will be extended to the whole community without distinction, and on such terms that none may feel themselves conscientiously obliged to decline its advantages. Having property in this division of the county, and residing amongst you, it is impossible for me not to take a deep interest in your local affairs; and if you should confer on me the honour of representing your interests In Parliament, be assured that I shall strive to prove myself worthy of your confidence. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient and faithful servant, THOMAS ALCOCK. Kingswood Warren, May 11, 1847. FAST SURREY ELECTION.

Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenstor, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 11 s. 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,.— 3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and ,revent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful proauct of the inost aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing 'dour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops n the crown of the heal; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an OUT. In most cases relief is certain iu ten minutes. It produces air on children's heads in a few apppllcations. It used on infants' earls, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See Grimstone Highgate. panz i phl iet a to t o n f testimonials.. to William PUBLICATIONS.

This Lecture is particularly addressed to those interested in the exciting events new going on in South-Eastern Africa; in the Kalil'. War, in the great question of race, and the probable extinction of the Aboriginal 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.

SOUTH AFRICAN ABORIGINES—TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and A BABY, of the BOSJIEMAN or BUSH TRIBE, from tho interior of South Africa, a race that, from their wild habits, could never before be induc e d to visit a place of civilization. This oppor tunity of gratifying the man of science and the student in zoology h ° 3 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 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 beau hunted like partridges in the mountains. Deprived of what nature had made their own they became desp e r a t e , w ild , t i erce, and Indo mitable in their habits. Hunger compels them to feed upon every thing edible. Ixias, wild garlic, mysembry anthamains, the core of aloes, gum of acarias, and other plants and berries, some of which arc extremely unwholesome, constitute their fruits; whilst almost every kind of living creature is eagerly devoured, lizards, locust s and grasshoppers not excepted. The poisonous as well as innoxious serpents they roast and eat. They carefully extract their bags or reservoirs of poison, with which they cover the points of their arrows."

PRICE SD. THE MURDER IN ST. GEORGE'S IN-TIIE.EAST. . On Wednesday afternoon an inquest was commenced before Mr. W. Baker, coroner, at the Grave Maurice public-house, Whitechapel road, on the body of Agnes Macdonald, the wife of Gilbert Macdonald, a shipjoiner, whose death is alleged to have been caused from the effects of blows and kicks she received from her husband on Saturday evening last. The woman died thirty-six hours.after the quarrel with her husband, who has been remanded on a charge of wilful murder, by Mr. Yardley, the Thames police magistrate. The particulars have been fully detailed. The jury, after being sworn, pro ceeded t o v i ew the body, which presented a most fright ful appearance. The head was covered with bruises, and the deceased had evidently been most severely ill used. The state of the body and the degree of violence used will be best understood by the evidence of the surgeon, who was examined for the first time. Mr. Joseph Nash, the house -surgeon of the London Hospital, stated that the deceased was admitted into the institution on Saturday evening last, at seven o'clock. She was brought in by four policemen on a stretcher. He examined her body externally. She had a wound or cut down the nose, dividing the cartilage, two fractured ribs on the left side, and a great many contusions on different parts of her body, the most particular of which were on the abdomen, chest, and head.. Her hands, on the wrist and parts above the knuckles, were also very much bruised, which appeared more to have been in curred by warding off blows than by giving them, the fingers not being much bruised, and the whole of the injuries appeared to have been of rtcont date, within a few hours. She gradually sunk, and died a little after seven o'clock. He had since opened the body, to ascer tain more minutely the cause of death. The vessels of the brain on opening the head were found to be mach congested, caused by severe blows on the right side; acid immediately over the temporal muscle and the forehead. Two of the ribs on the lett side were fractured, and the intestines were ruptured, and there was a great deal of mischief in the chest and abdomen, as if caused by blows or kicks. The lower part of the body appeared to have been kicked, or the injuries might have been caused by her being trampled upon. He bad no doubt that the rupture of the intestines was the immediate cause of death. The CORONER said the deceased has received injuries sufficient to kill half-a-dozen persons. The cause of death was clearly described by the surgeon, and it would now be the duty of the jury to ascertain how and by whom the injuries were inflicted. He understood that a boy of tender years, the son of the deceased, had been already interrogated by the magistrate, but that he was not qualified to give evidence. The jury said they should like to hear what the boy bad to say, without inserting his statement on the minutes of evidence. The CORONER said, in order to make the child's statement admissible, it was necessary it should be taken down in writing. The magistrate had decided that the boy was not a fit person to be examined as a witness, and had directed that he should be taken to the work house and properly instructed, to qualify him to take an oath. After some further discussion, it was agreed that the boy should be called in. He is a simple fellow, about eight years of age, with very little intellect. The jurors then put a great number of questions to the boy, and with very great difficulty extracted from him, in broken sentences, that on Saturday last his father beat his mother and trampled upon her, and that when she was lying on the floor he jumped on her with his feet. His father was tipsy, but his mother was not. He saw him kick his mother as she was leaning against the wall. The jury were nearly an hour extracting these few words from the child. Inspector Bilson, of the K division, said the boy told exactly the same story in the presence of his father, at the station-house. The inquest was then adjourned, after the jury had heard some unimportant evidence. __- UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. DUBLIN. SUTPAEMENTAL EXAMINATION FOR TILE DEGREE OF B.A. MELD IN TRINITY TERM.

Some time ago the Duke of Puccleuch, in one of his walks, purchased a cow from a person in the neighbour hood of Dalkeith, and left orders to send it to his palace the following morning. According to agreement the cow was sent, arid the Duke, who happened to be in deshabille, and walking in the avenue, espied a little tellow ineffectually attempting to drive the animal to its destination. The boy, nut knowing the Duke, bawled out to him, "Flimun, come here an' gin's a ban wi' this beast." The Duke saw the mistake, and determined on having a joke with the little fellow. Pretending, there fore, not to understand him, the Duke walked on slowly, the boy still craving his assistance. At last he crie d in a tone of app aren t di stress, " Come here, mun, an' help us, an' as sure as onything I'll give you half I get." This last solicitation had the desired effect. The Duke went and lent a helping hand. " And now," said the Duke, as they trudged along, "how much do you think you'll get for this job?" " Oh, dinna ken," said the boy, " but I'm sure o' something, for the folk up at the house are good to a' bodies." As they approached the house the Duke darted from the boy and entered by a different way. Ile called a servant, and pat a sovereign into his hand, saying " Give that to the boy that has brought the cow. The Duke returned to the avenue, and was soon r t j oint d b y the boy. " Well, how much did you get?" said the Duke. " A shilling," said the boy, " an' there's the half o' it t' ye." " But you surely got more than a shilling," said the Duke. No, said the boy, with the utmost earnestness "as sure's death that's a ' I got — nn ' d ' ye not think it's a plenty!" "I do net," said the Duke; " there must he some mistake, and, as I am acquainted with the Duke, if you return I think I'll get you more." The boy con sented; back they went. The Duke rang the bell, aid ordered all the servants to be assembled. " Now," said the Duke to the bay, " point me out the person thtit gave you the shilling." "It was that chap there pith the apron," pointing to the butler. The delinquent con fessed, tell on his knees, and attempted an apology ; but the Duke interrupted him, indignantly ordered him to give the buy the soverei , n, and quit his acrtisp,imss§,9* ; learn, henceforth, that honesty is the best policy." boy, by this time, recognised his assistant in the person of the Duke, and the Duke was so delighted with the sterling worth and honesty o f th e b o y, th a t he ordered him to be sent t o school, kept th ere , an d provided fo r at his own expense.—Liverpool Albion. EXTRAORDINARY ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE NEAR THE BANK OF ENGLAND. — Yesterday morning, shortly after ten o'clock, great excitement prevailed in the vicinity of the Bank of England, in consequence of a respectably dressed man (apparently a foreigner) inflicting a frightful wound on the front of his neck with a clasp-knife, under the most ex traordinary circumstances. It seems that at the time named he was walking in company with a male person along the pavement of Princes -street, by the Bank of England, when the foot passengers were suddenly alarmed by seeing the man draw a knife across his throat, and before any one could get to him the blood gushed from an extensive wound which separated the windpipe and several of the small blood-vessels. He fell to the ground insensible, and when raised up the blood was issuing copiously from the injured part. Several of the City police arrived, and carried the wounded man to the nearest surgeon, where the injuries were temporarily dressed, after which he was placed on a stretcher and removed with all care to the accident ward of St. Thomas's Hospital, where he was put under the care of the house-surgeon, but the wound in the neck is of such a character, that no hopes are entertained of his recovery. His pockets were searched, and were found to contain a quantity of foreign silver coin, but no papers or writing were found. From the nature o f the injury, he of course is unable to speak, and likewise he remains in a state of stupor. The man who was walking by his side ran away, and was not seen afterwards. Last evening he was still alive, but cannot survive many hours. THE MODERN " ADMIRABLE CRICHTON."

In a few hours afterwards a lad named William Chill, about ten years old, was exercising a horse in Woodstock-mews, Weymouth-street, Marylebone, when the animal suddenly took fright and threw the rider several yards over its head, by which he sustained a broken thigh, a dislocation of the collar bone, and some other fright ful down Great Portland-street, when, she being blind in one Burrell,injrivaegse besidesEl forty, li v ing ie.hh at ie 3 1 07,0 fractured xford- s t h re is et, B N k ; l.

They all remain in a very precarious condition, and, indeed, the youth is not expected to recover. g th a e lla d n e t ath o o ffi f e A er dm e ir x a p l i J re o d hn F on ord3 t - h ce e M l a 2 p t l h es, DES OF A V ETERAN. —W e regret to announce in theat Kilburn-priory, e u r o n f - pr Trafalgarin thaendnotthheyreaacrtoiof actions residence et ~.a.i l :t he .a.tL T o l hhir l id e was This Nelson, and had been in more than 100 engagements, ob taining his promotion to the rank of Captain and honours in 1813 for his gallant capture of the American ship-of-war Argus, when in command of the Pelican, which was one of those brilliant actions that took place at the breaking out of the American war.
