It eradicates tartar from the teeth, and thus lends a salutary growth and freshness to the gums. It removes from the surface of the Teeth the spots of Incipieat decay, polishes and preserves the enamel, imparting the most pure and pearl-like whiteness; while, from its salubrious and disinfecting q ualities, it gives sweetness and perfume to the breath. Being an anti-scorbutic, the gums also share in its corrective powers ; scurvy is eradicated from them, and a healthy action and redness are inauced, so that the teeth (if loose) are thus rendered firm in their sockets. As the most efficient and fragrant aromatic Tooth Powder ever know, ROWLAND'S ODONTO has for a long series of Years occupied a distinguished place at the toilets of the Sovereigns and the Nobility throughout Europe.

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, as may be considered likely to tend to the pre servation , 1 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 pleasure to honour me with your confidence, I shall have an additional satisfaction in seeing a revival of the period when it Vcali 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.

That day, with its " ride," at once must decide Slow hundreds of thousands will fare, Importance is in it, and one single minute Must apportion to each one his share. Hurrah for the course, and hurrah for each horse, May the Derby be worthily won, And may all who obtain, improve what they gain, By visiting MOSES and SON. Their's, their's it the mart for a suit that is smart. And a suit that is fit for the sport And the grand Derby day, on the eighteenth of May, Will show you what dresses are bought. Ev'ry race that is run speaks of MOSES and SON, And a proof of their merit discloses, And the grand Derby day will proudly display The trading achievements of MOSES.

A LECTURE on the 110SJIEMAN RACE (Pigmies) of SOUTHERN AFRICA, unquestionably the most extraordinary race of mankind, as well physically as intellectually, will be DELIVERED Tists EVENING, at Eight P.M., by ROBERT KNOX, M. 1)., 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 Kaffir 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. In illustration of the Lecture, Dr. Knox will introduce to the notice of the physiologist and man of science Fire Bosjiemans, or Bush people—two males, two females and infant, the only specimens of this singular race of human beings that ever visited Europe. Admission : reserved seats and platforal, 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, 31edical Book seller, 356, Strand ; the Medical Times Office, Essex-street ; and at the usual places. THE MOST EXTRAORD [NARY EX RIM TION 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 ABORIGINES —TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and A BABY, of the BOSJIEMAN er 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 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 England, at an hninense 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 app aearnc 53. e.

REMARKABLE CURIO OF DROPSY, BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—At Wootton, near Bedford, re sides Mr. John Robinson, sell., an opulent farmer, who some time ago, 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 h o peless state he was cu r ed b y 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 Establ ishment, 244, Strand, London.

EPSOM, SATURDAY NIGHT.—The entries having taken place this afternoon, we are enabled to submit a full pro gramme of the four days' engagements, from which, and the numerous list of arrivals given underneath, we are entitled to anticipate a capital meeticg. Active pre parations are in progress on the course, which is agreed to en all hands is in the best possible condition for running. The " pull up," as we stated a day or two since, has been vastly improved by the removal of a portion of the paling of Sir Gilbert Heathcote's paddock, as the horses in l'uture, instead of running towa, ds and perhaps into the town, at the imminent risk of collision with some of the carriages invariably collected in this neighbourhood, will take a gentle curve to the left, and will be pulled up in the paddock. The grand stand has undergone several improvements. Amongst them is the erection of a gillery at the end near the winning chair, for the use of the stewards ; his will afford an excellent view of the races, and will, we trust, lead to the demolition of the antiquated, worm-eaten edifice on the opposite side of the course, so many years used as a weighing stand, it has long ceased to be either useful or ornamental. The duties of the course will be en trusted to the same individuals who officiated last year, Mr. Clark being engaged as judge, Mr. Hibberd as starter, Mr. Manniug as clerk of the scales, and Mr. Starling as clerk of the course. Mr. Lumley will have the management of the refreshment rooms, in which he made a very satisfactory delnit at the Spring Meeting; we have reason to believe 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 accommodation on the new line have not yet been very satisfactorily tested, we have no doubt it will come in for a liberal share of patronage on the two great days. The racing will commence at two o'clock to-morrow, with The CRAVEN STAKES of 10 SOVS. each, for three yrs old, fist 81b ; four, Bst 101 b ; five, 9st 41b ; six and aged, 9st 101 b.

(From the Second Edition of the Sunday Times.) Tho morning rose beautifully, presenting an aspec 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. But for such facilities most of them, we will venture to say, would have been snoozing snugly in their beds, dream ing, perhaps, of "lucky draws,' ; and heaps of glittering prize money I 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 horses 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 earliest en 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. After 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 Tottenham 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 he 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. He 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 sees 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 fancie d 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 Flamatcher. 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 for 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 Whitekouse up) led Wanota two steady 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 "puddled" 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 Billy Marson on his back, went as " fr ee as a bird." Ile mounted the hill several times in a style to make his enemies quake in their shoes; and twice galloped the Derby course in a manner which left no doubt of his " staying" qualities. His vast improvement upon his Newmarket form is manifest. Dockeray's string, with Marquis of Conyngham and the filly by Don John out of Arachne (which came out at Chester and was claimed) were also out. The only Goodwood nags we saw is w sa e i r d e , v, A ,i w il k h w a 'a v r e d fi (: year old) and Q ueen Mary. The remainder will be t h er e on Monday. The stable, it or C si fi x ar s l t e a s rte P r a s a's string was on the Si x Mil e Bottom, , and consisted of Administrator, New Era and Mont pensier, all locking well. The Frenchman is a good gi ri m d o d w l e e - r a i ; z e h d e , hraacsi,ngh—o like horse, r y bu s t m r o a o t t h h e r de ficientea t 1 kn 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 Carrie off at noon on Saturday, and the result was as follows; Don Caesar 1 Bowstring Christopher Cast Steel filly beaten off. Bingham andElpirirsoctsepwrirorge I not in it, Don Caesar was beaten twice in the No. 17,054. THE ATRAPILATORY, 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, are 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.

Bowstring's chance, there fore must be very stringy. There was no betting on the Downs. 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. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—The glorious prospect of a soul stirring carnival on the Downs of Epsom, during the forthcoming meet is quite exhilarating. The festival of Wednesday next will completely take the shine out of all its predecessors from the days of Bunbury and Dimmed, to Gully and Pyrrhus the First; never has there been seen on Epsom's far-famed Downs so great a multitude of all classes, from the Peer to cliiirney-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, notwlths!amding a good pep pering, been very buoyant at the " corner." Mr. Martin on the contrary has lost caste rapidly, and is now vir tually an 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 a go, and found to- be a clipper, consequent upon this trial he was pt steel 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, Gabbler, Glentilt, Crozier, Vice Consul, War Eagle, Epirote, Bedlam, Montpensier, Wanota, Camel ford, Van Tromp, Oxonian, Chainbearer, Mirmillo, Mathematician, Buckskin, New Era, Timotir, Will-o'- the-Wisp, Lionel, Limestone, Mr. Martin, Old Port, The Liberator, Retort colt, The Cossack, Conyugham, Red Hart, Halo, Good Coin, Philosopher, Ulysses, Siguet, Christopher, The Admiral, Bowstring, Black Dwarf, Aliwal, Clarendon, The Reivier, 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 lest 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, Gabbier, Crozer, Vice Consul, Bedlam, Cameliord, Buckskin, Will-o% the- Wisp, Christopher, The Admiral, Aliwal, Clarendon, and Eryx, form that well-known class, who possess not the most remote shadow of a chance of passing the post first, but who are generally sent to cut out the work for their more speedy stable companions. I will 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, but not first in the race, is but a very moderate animal, his only performances this year being at Liverpool, when he 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. Wendlt, by Plenipotentiary, out of Glenlin, 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 vary 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 rim game, but that is all I can say 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 ♦ery 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. Marti❑ 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 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 fur the premiership, with Van Tromp close upon their heels. In my fancy, this very much resembles the race of Wednesday next, at the Stand most probably Cossack will be very forward until the Van arrives at the stand, then the work will be taken up by Conyngham, Van Tromp, and another or two, which 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 large horse, half prepared. Lord Strathmore will not seal the stakes with his Signet. Lord Stanley's Bowstring will not be pulled to any advantage at Epsom. 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 winter crack, hight Van Tromp, the unbeaten wonder, who, a la 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 Monipensier, 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 oft the Derby. Last year I named Fancy Buy 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 'our 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 ing prophetic their "done dreaminspirations i into o into rh verse" me,l fo have r s s ent n o tth e f approvalfollow ing and that of your readers, on the all-absorbing subject of the 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 ! They're off 1" is heard from every mouth, Though all join in, yet still 'tis not the truth; 'rhe 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 reachedfrontin t u r h n e d; shows,o lead— Now But suddenly recedes, as if affected with the slows.
