NOW EXHIBITING, AT THE FGYPTIAN HALL, PICCADILLY, F the moat EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBITION of ABORI GI, ES EVER SEEN in EUROPE, landed in Liverpool by the brig Fanny, Captain Wheeler. or T B W IT O S A H IE T N it , I T B W E ? fr W o O m M t E h N e , in a t n e d ri o a r B of A s ß o Y, uth of mr th ic e a r a S r TrM eth A a N t, from their wild habits, could never before be induced to visit a place of civilization. This opportunity of gratifying the man of science and the student in zoology has only been obtained by great personal exertion on the part of the gentlemen who have brought them to England, at an immense outlay of capital. On the passage to Europe a baby was born at sea, thus adding to the great interest that must be excited by their appearance. From the Liverpool Journal : —" Bosjesmans, or Bush People, from Southern Africa—lnteresting specimens of a most extraordinary race of human beings have been landed in our port ; they are the Boejes 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 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 calculated to excite the greatest astonishment, and to confirm to the fall 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 fn 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 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, Methane'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 Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Wceiicy inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration anti produotion 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 Oa the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and m - event 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 product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o she toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops n the crown of the heal ; if v•ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. ft produces air on children's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants' eade, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pansphlet of testimonials.

They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will never change col bur or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not regime 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 economleal, he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible.

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

Yesterday, Mrs. e well known in the city as the : Lady o f Threadnedle-street," came before the Banke L " c O r l d d lita a y d or to complain of an obstruction which had been laid at her door by a person of the name of Peel. The Court inquired whether she, in return, laid the obstruction at Peel's door ? The old lady hoped that the Court would not make fun of her. It was no joke. The Lord Mayor asked what was the nature of the obstruction complained of ? Mrs. Banke said that it was a heap of rubbish which prevented her from getting into her cellar. She had upwards of nine millions of bullion in that cellar, of which she was unable to get at a mite or morsel ; whilst, owing to the badness of the times, she was actually at her wits' end for a sovereign. The Lord Mayor desired to know how long the ob struction complained of had existed ? Mrs. Banke re plied, ever since 1844. The rubbish had been shot before her cellar-door in that year, and had remained there ever since. Till lately, she had not so much minded the inconvenience, because she had only to put her hand in her pocket to answer all calls upon her. But now her pocket was empty, and she could not get into her cellar. _ _ The Lord Mayor wished to know the nature of the rubbish, which, as she alleged, had been shot at her cellar-door by Peel ? The old lady said it was a parcel of stuff which was called Bank Charter. The rubbish had been carted at her door by Peel, at a time when ho was the Government head-carter. The Lord Mayor suggested that Mrs Banko should apply to the present driver of the Government cart. Mrs. Banke said that she had done so, but to no pur • pose. The one was as bad as the other ; there was not a pin to choose between them ; for what this one said, that one stuck to. She would be glad if his Lordship would order Peel to take his rubbish away. on The Lord Mayor regretted, that, though he wa s th e Sovereign of the City, he was not an absoluete, wheninar hereeh he had no power to remove an obstruction whi c h was sanc i t r io . annßedbkye said Act it was a sin of Parliament. i‘sand a sh an a d m with all so r t s she was in trouble and difficulty herself, of people depending up'm her, and going to rack an d ru i n for want of her help, where as she had ampl e means of relieving them in her cell ar .

The Prado at Madrid is a charming promenade ; the sunny gaiety of the Boulevards in Paris is delightful, not more so, perhaps, than the well shaded Unter den Linden in Berlin ; but where can you find so joyous and brilliant a scene as Regent-street, on a fine day in the season. Where can you find so many splendid shops, and so many beautiful faces looking into them ? What Magasin de Nouveautes, for instance, can display a more choice selection of shawls and dresses, than Allison's in Regent-street, which now includes three spacious houses. This establishment has a plain sub.. stantial appearance, contrasting forcibly and favourably with the tawdry frippery displayed elsewhere. The middle shop is about 150 feet deep, that on the left is ' exclusively devoted to shawls and mantelets, whilst that on the right is a veritable boudoir, where ladies may sit at their ease, sheltered from the gaze and busy hum of the crowded thoroughfare without, and select their dresses in undisturbed extravagance. The savants have not yet attained sufficient power of atmospheric Ares , sure to realise Pope's words, " Waft a sigh from Indus to the Pole," yet they have succeeded in speeding the soft intercourse between France and England to such an extent that the Protean fancies of fashion fly over the Channel like carrier pigeons. If you cross the street, the first object that attracts the eye (especially if you have been some time absent from town) is the Loudon general mourning warehouse. This maison de deuil is the most important emporium of the kind in London, and affords a striking proof of the ad vantages derived by the public from a subdivision of trade. Mr. ,Tay has a display of family, court, and com plimentary mourning, which excels in variety and extent the combined collections of other establishments. Amongst the novelties introduced for the present season, is an airy, exquisite fabric, called the barege mousseline, invented by Mr. Jay himself, and which will probably become immensely popular with the ladies, whom we strongly recommend to visit this far-famed establishment. Seldom does the adventurous spirit of the flaunting deni zens of May fair entice them to explore the mazes of that mysterious labyrinth which lies east of Temple-bar, and which contains shops as sumptuous in their decorations, and as recherches for their marchandises as the most cele brated establishments of the far west. Where shall we find so apt an illustration of our assertion a% the hand. some structure which Messrs. Ross and Sons have raised to be at once the ornament of Bishopsgate-street, and the point d'attrait in the city, the ceiling of the lofty chamber consacri a la coupe des cheveux is a chef d' oeuvre of the limner's art, and afford a perfect imitation of porcelain. Moreover, these people are always bringing forward some charming novelty to relieve the ennui of their blasé customer, Hannibal and Napoleon scampered over the Alps, thinking only of glory and trampling upon the secret flowers which blushed unseen in their path. These, however, have been carefully collected by W. Ross. and converted into a scent, la reine des Alpes, which sheds the most delicious perfume that ever was poured upon an embrodered kerchief.—Post. A YACHT CAPSIZED IN A SQUALL.-The greatest consternation was produced at Beaumaris, Anglesey, on Whit Monday last, a pleasure-beat, with six persons on beard, belonging to the town, having gone down, within sight of their relatives and friends, and at about half pistol-shot from the promenade. The party had gone out in the morning on a fishing excursion in the direction of Amlwich, there being what sailors call a " capfull of wind and a bit of a sea on." With what success they plied their nets it is impossible to say at present, the sole survivor being in too weak a state to render any account of the day's proceedings. Let with the return tide and com i ng -on it suffice, that night the vessel was homeward bound, and had gained of the Roads about seven o'clock, by which time the wind had freshened to a gale, producing a heavy e r such as no small craft would cho ose t o b e abroad in, when, on making a tack, and before the vessel had way on, she was struck by the wind and sea at the same moment, and went down by the stern. S ome of the were observed struggling with the waves, and bel ? o a r r e ty a boat could reach them, which it tried in vain to do, they were swept off by the tide. Another boat, at the greatest possible risk, went up the straits in the direction of the tide, and at a considerable distance picked up the body of a youth, in whose arms an oar was firmly grasped. The rest of the party could not anywhere be met with, living or dead, all having perished miserably. The lad was brought to Beaumaris, where means for his recovery were had recourse to with partial success. Nothing remains but to give the names , &c. , of the unfortunate party—viz vz Mr. George Owen , druggist ; Mr. Thomas Lloyd, 3tr. , Spackman, officer of Excise; Mr. Jones, painter ; Hugh Tyrer, an old seaman who had weathered many a gale; and Roger Hayes, aged 16 (saved). The decline in the value of grain in the markets of the French departments continues, and under the in fluence of fine weather the average fall, according to the last intelligence, is from If. to 3f. per hectolitre. The accounts of the crops are at the same time of the most satisfactory kind. At Etampes all descriptions of grain were in a forward state, and the harvest will, it is thought, prove excessively abundant. From Arcis sur- Aube, Chattelherault, Beaumont-sur-Oise, Loudun, and other points, the letters are all written in the same en couraging terms.

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