Sales, 8,000 bales, including 1,20 . 3 bLles of American for exportation, and 1,500 on speculation. The market was very firm. The rise is jd. to id. on American, compared with Friday last, and Id. pa r lb. on Surat. Other sorts were at very full rates. Ameri can sold at bid. to lid. per lb.—ln Railway Shares there was a further improvement, and a general advance in prices. The demand for Midland and North St,..fford shares continued good, and also fur Dever halves. The accounts from the provinces, as well as from abroad, continue highly cheering as respects the weather and the decline in grain. A gentleman alreany favourably known for some sug gestions on the improvement of sugar-manufacturing processes, has just circulated some " Observations on the present State and future Prospects of the West, Indies," in which it is "remarked that the mother country is called upon to provide a tempo rary substitute for an active middle class, which under the institutions of slavery the colonies had no op portunity of raising for themselves. There comes also from the colonies a cry for labourers; and Government may perhaps with benefit :give facilities for their manu facturing introduction ; but th e p romo ti on o f a good manu facturing system on sound principles would, it must be remembered, set much labour at liberty, which would at once be applicable to agricultural purposes. May we not suppose then that the mother country would do well to encourage in some of the chief islands the intro duction of a sound manufacturing system, under such restrictions as would prevent any encroachments upon the liberty of the people ? And considering that the raising a healthy social system in those colonies is the best measure for securing our power in that pot tion of the world, would not our Government be fully j'isti fied in lending pecuniary aid, if it should be required, for the establishment of railroads and factories? "We seem as yet little to understand what, in a commercial point of view, may be the ultimate value of our West Indian Colonies, possessing, as some of the islands do, on th e ir m o un tain sides great diversities of climate, with soils of surpassing fettility, capable of rewarding their cultivators with an endless variety of productions. We are told also that the ruddy glow of health is found upon the faces of the inhabitants of the higher portions of Jamaica, who are said to be remark able for their longevity." Everything looks cheerful again in the City, and stocks feel the influence of the splendid weather, while the settlement of the account is much more in favour of a rise than many had predicted. Consols have been 81 to 88 for present transfer, and 881 i for account. Ex chequer-bills have been par to 2s. premium ; and East India Bonds Is. to 2s. premium. The New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 88/ to j, and the Three per Cents. 861 to 4. Bank Stock is worth 189/ to 1904. There is the same apathy exhibited in respect to deal ings in the Foreign Market. Mexican Bonds have been marked 204 11, being rather higher again. Not a bargain is reported in Spanish or Portuguese. Dutch Two and -a- Half per Cents. have been quoted 58k. Railway Shares have been advancing, and there is more demand. Accounts of April 4, from Bahia state, that shipping was very scarce.

HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet street, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIP TION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will never change col )ur or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical. he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible.

NOW EXHIBITING, AT THE • FGYPTIAN HAL L, PICCADILLY. F the most EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBITION of ABOR I tii sES EVER SEEN in EUROPE, landed in Liverpool by tije brig Fanny, Captain Wheeler. TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and a BABY, of the BOSIESMAN or BUSH T qIBE, 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, front Southern Africa—lnteresting specimens of a most extraordinary race of human beings have been landed in our tort; they are the Bosjes mans, or Bush People from the interior of South Africa, of which so much has been written by the missionaries, and the few who have travelled to that far distant region. They are natives of the country border.ng 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 at.. 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., two males and two females of the genuine Bush man species; they are in charge of a Mr. J. G. R. Bishop, who has been at considerable trouble and expense in procuring them from the interior. They 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 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. Grimstone, of the ilerbary, Iligh 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 11s. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex oer'c,ce. not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure et nervous headache ; as a toilet pertume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above tact.. —3, Swan-street, Borough." In cssqs of the hlir becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops 0., the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will p , e vent the hair frem coming away with the comb, make it strong, cad revent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the fair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful proctuct of the most aro vatic herbs and flowers with confidence; its refreshing ~,lour removes headache and makes it a ma st necessary companion e she toilet. In cases of neeous headache, pour ten or twelve drops it the crown of the bee ; if v ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. In -Host Cates relief Is certain in ten minutes.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT HUNGERPORD-MARRET. Yesterday morning, about 20 minutes past four o'clock, a fire broke out in the house of Mr. Milligan, corn and hay merchant, Hungerford-market. It was first disco vered by the watchmen in the market, who inst an tly gave the alarm, and, havi n g . broken open the door of the sta bl e , succeeded in rescuing two valuable horses, which otherwise would have become a prey to the devouring element. Shortly afterwards the Chandos-street Brigade engines arrived, and were immediately followed by those of the West of England and County Fire-offices; and there being a plentiful supply of water, and a number of men who were waiting for the market to open present, they were without delay set to work on the flaunt s, which had already atta ined a fearful height. Great fears were for a considerable time entertained for the safety of the adjoining premises, occupied by Mr. Brotherton as an oil manufactory; but by the exertions of the firemen. police, and inhabitants, the fire was con fined to Mr. Milligan's warehouse , and was not enti re ly subdued until seven o'clock. The warehouse and con t ents are totally destroyed, nothing but the outer walls being left standing. It is su pposed that the fire ori g i na t e d f ro m an overheated flue belong i ng to a copper used for boding shell-fish by the salesmen in the market. The am . qit of property destroyed cannot yet be ascertained. BAD NEWS FOR SPORTSMEN.---W e regret t o l earu that the' young birds on the moors are ding has now nu mbers.

The anniversary dinner of this, the oldest institution I of the kind, took place on Wednesday at the Freemason? Tavern. The Duke of Cambridge, supported by the Tioke of Beaufort, was in , he chair. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, on his health being drank, tot le expressedinstitution his t io satisfaction m emerabtths of supportthe theßoyal Family. I uniformlygiven t was true that Covent-garden had now become an opera arhinoguhesqtesu equal if but etruhpaort on its presen t b m e oi a s u t i ai tay e n e at i ss n no respect affected the on the o f e u e n a d sion T r h e e g y uired • had its assistance. " Prosperity to the Fund" was then drank. Mr. MEADOWS returned thanks. The present insti tution maintainc , l among charitable institutions its high position. Every claim made on the fund had hitherto been fully sati.fit d, and a deaf ear had never been turned to the voice of distress, even from persons unconnected with its original objects. Three more annuitants had been lately admitted, and two more were expected in a short time. Every performer reluctantly quitted the sock and buskin, as the sum they received at retirement did not equal the smallest salary. The committee had the duty to perform of maintaining future allowances at their present amount without diminution—these allow.. ances were sufficient for necessaries, but nothing further —and he might say that no just claim had ever been refused, and no unjust claim ever allowed. The fund had relieved seventeen theatrical families unconnected with it—a circumstance which they had hitherto re frained from mentioning, and now only alluded to in self-defence. The fund had been reproachfully called exclusive—he admitted that it was . exclusive. Were it otherwise, it would have become a mere temporary relief fund, of no permanent benefit whatever, and productive only of disappointment to those who looked forward to its support. The names of those connected with the fund were before the public, whose liberality he trusted would never be abused and never be repented of. The Covent garden Fund wished success to that of Drury-lane, and to that most useful and necessary institution, the Gene ral Theatrical Fund, but there was no ground for ne glecting the present fund because the General Fund came after it. The Drury -lane Fund came after it in like manner, yet no one on that account thought the prior institution unnecessary. Their annual appeal was ne cessary—when it ceased to be necessary they would cease their appeal ; but the present position of Covent garden did not alter the position of the present sub scribers to the fund, who had earned their claims on its boards, and 23 of whom were now performing at other theatres. The committee, notwithstanding the present position of Covent-garden, were bound to see that these claims were not disappointed. Many of the present sub scribers to the fund were in a position which seemed little likely to place them within the necessity of its assist ance, but many of those wham it now assisted were once in a position equally good. The profession of the actor was peculiarly precarious; decline of public favour, or change of management, produced reverses which no one could foresee. Ile would add, that as most unexpected circumstances had made Covent garden an Italian opera-house, so the course of events might, in a manner equally unexpected, restore it to tho British drama. The band of the Coldstream regiment attended during the dinner, which was not fully attended. The mu sical department was support€d by the Hungarian vo calists, the Distin family, Miss Bassano, Miss Williams, and Miss Isaacs. The subscriptions announced amounted to 5031., in cluding 504 from her Majesty and 204 from the Chair man. The handsome It racy of 100/. had likewise been left to the fund by Mr. Mark:ew. ADELPHI THEATRE. The performs tices here onWeda. y err for the bene fit of Madame Cel-ste, and, as might have been smith paieilltbe house was crowded to suffocation within a w minutes after the doors were open. Atter Buckstone's drama of the Flowers of the Forest, in which the powerful acting of Mad sate Celeste. as Cy labia, was perfectly thrillime, a new petite comedy in two acts, entitled Flying Colours, or Grossing Me Frontier, was produced with the mos' complete success,. Tire scene is !aid at Verdun, in the time of Louis XV., and we are introduced to the old governor or the place, the Duc de Sonibreuse (Mr. Lambert) and to his young wife, the Duchess (Miss W oulgat ). 'I here is a certain, Captain Sans Souci (Mr. Webster), of %horn the old Duke is rather jealous, but whom he has never seen. The lip aiu saho has been committing some escapade in Paris, has fled from that city, ,:nd as it is supposed that he is endeavouring to escape into Lorraine, orders are dispatched to the governor of Verdun to be on the look out for the captain, to arrest him, and send him back to Paris tinder a guard. Orders are likewise received to look out for and arrest a certain 116 6ne de Montereau (Madame Celeste). a young lady woo has escaped from a convent in Lorraine, with a young officer to whom she is about to be marrie d, an d who is most anxious to reach Paris. The Count de Belville (Mr. Boyce) is the young officer who has eloped with He lone—ho induces her to assume male during her stay at Verdun, the better to avoid suspicion. Captain Sans Souci, on his arrival, elicits from Colonel Amadou (Mr. Selby), the Commandant of the Garrison, a foolish fop, the whole account of the ceders that have been received for the several arrests, and soon recog nizing, Helene in her male attire (the gaucherie of Madame Celeste in this s?.c-ne was inimit able, and produced roars of laughter) proposes to her that he shall assume female attire, and as Helene be escorted across the frontier to Lorraine, while she, acting the part of Captain Sans Souci, shall be sent to Paris under the escort of her own lover, Count de Belville. The Captain, however, feels it neces sary to give her certain instructions in the art and mystery of manhood, and drills her into bowing, strutting, snuff taking, and swearing. This drilling scene. which was admirably acted by Madame Celeste and Webster, told amazingly ; her every now and then forgetting her disguise and curtseying, instead of bowing, produced a most,ludierous effect. The disguises are assumed, and the arrests take place at the Captain could have wished. The false Helene is confided to the care of the Duchess, and the false Captain to that of the Colonel. The Duke is lost in admiration of the charms of the false Helene, whom he aptly charaterises ss " a most extensive" woman, and writes her a billet dour, while the false Captain makes the Colonel drunk by keeping him up to filling glass for glass, and throw ing his own wine under the table. At length, of course, a discovery takes place, and the Duke is outrageous at the trick played upon him, but is kept in order, by a threat to produce before the Duchess his " tender letters" to Helene; and Belville, who is inclined, at first, to be jea lous; when he hears Helene has passed the night at the Colonel's, is highly amused when he learns how the night has been passed. At the conclusion Madame Celeste and Mr. Webster were both called for ; and the piece was announced for repetition amidst the loud plaudits of the audience. The scenery was excellent. The set of the second act was one of the most beautiful interiors ever exhibited. CREMORNE GARDENS.—ThiS popular place of en tPrtainnaent was opened on Whit-Monday.

GREEN'S NEW VICTORIA BALLOON.—Trus balioou made ils first ascent last Mon day from Cremorne—the party (four in number) con slsting of Herr Kcenig, Arthur Pratt Barlow, Esq., the veteran Green, and a friend of his, Mr. Hoole. It was "let go" soon after seven ; and, taking a north-easterly course, passed over London, Hackney, Epping, Hain atilt, &c., and finally came safe to terra firma in a field in the parish of Little Waltham, six miles beyond Chelmsf,)rd, exactly at eight o'clock, thus doing above forty miles, as the crow flies, in less than the hour Curiously enough, Mr. Soper, the manufa cturer of the. silk of the balloon, a week before w rote to M r . Green,.. regretting that, as he would be at his country -house, _he ; er would be unable to witnes s the maiden ascent of t his way. 'Victoria, but, Odd to say, the balloon passed o v er his farm, in joke; invited him to su pp er if he came and descended within a mile and a half- of - his house, m ee p t a t th rily e e, whither the party repaired, reminded the owner of his invitation, and were most hospitably welcomed and en tertained by him, until it was time to st lr ar o t r mail-train at Chelmsford. Navigation ci t o a last with a select circle of friends, made dirl li to E rs N of Ew the trip in this beautiful new vessel,' _ an experimental the Nore, and up the Mersey tßfrom London•bridge to oehester-bridge. The engines of the Star are of 140-horseo. stowage is 320. She started from London-Bridge about eleven ak.m , and returned times during the voyagetimes a mile with the tide in font minutes eight seconds, giving an average speed of seven teen miles an hour. It is intended that the Star shill commence running to Boulogne on the sth of next No vember, when it is expected that starting a quarter of an hour before high water she bill accomplish the distance I from London-bridge to Boulogne in eight hours, which expedition, combined with the low fares intended to be charged, viz., 12s. for the chief cabin, or rather less than ld. per mile, and little more than id. per mile for the fore cabin, cannot fail to ensure, during the summer months, a fair share of public patronage. The cabins are very tastefully decorated, and throughout the vessel the comfort of the passengers has been studied in every respect. Advices from St. Petersburgh on Wednesday indicate henceforth a supply of grain to the south of Europe which will be regulated only by t h e num b er o f vessels. In the St. Peterburgh market alone the per chases for exportation up to th- pc. i.ent time amount- to no less than 2,000.000 chetwerts, " but." it is observed, .. the riddle is how is it to be shipped ?"
