LONDON, MON DAY MORNING SUN,

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON.

GENTLExEN,
IHAVE been invited by a large number of my
fellow Citizens to become a Candidate for the representation
of the City in Parliament, at the ensuing Election, and I respect-
fully announce to you my intention to solicit your suffrages so soon
as Parliament shall be dissolved.
Having spent the win le of my life In active pursuits, both official
and commercial, within the Cities of London and Westmin,ter, my
character and my opinions upon the great political subjects which
have for some years bean u 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, as may be considered IPtely to tend to the pre-
servation 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 ,:easure to honour me with your confidence, I shall have an
additional satisfaction in teeing 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
JOHN SO.
London, May 14, 1847.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF MARTLEBONE
GENTLTAIEN AND BROTHER ELECTORS,
MANY of your body having invited me to an-
nounce myself as a CANDIDATE for the Representation of
the Borough. I hesitate to take any step whatever till the feelings of
the Electors shall be known—whether, notwithstanding Sir Charles
Napier's present position, it is their intention again to support him.
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 BAJSHAWE

ALIVELY LAY for the DERBY DAY.
Oh, my muse awakes, for the pending stakes
Have tempted her to sing,
A lively lay for the Derby Day,
That glorious day of spring.
What crowds will resort to the scene of the sport.
To gaze on the Epsom course.
And, oh, how the " start" will thrill through each heart,
While the eye swiftly follows each horse.
That day, with its " ride," at once must decide
How 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, the'r'e is the mart for a suit that is smart,
And a suit that is flt for the sport ;
And the grand Derby day, on the eighteenth of May,
Will show you what dresses are bou;ht.
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.

EXETER-HALL. A LECTURE on the
lIOSJIEMAN RACE (Pigmies) of SOUTHERN AFRICA,
unquestionably the most extraordinary race of mankind, as well
physically as intellectually, will be DELIVERED Tills EVENING,
at Eight P.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 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 Five 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 platform. 2s. 6d. ; body of the hall
and west gallery, ls. 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.
THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBI-
-1 TIOX 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 or 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 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 I 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 et what nature
had made their own, they became desperate, wild, fierce, and indo-
mitable in their habits. Hunger compels them to feed upon every-
thing edible. Islas, wild garlic, mysembry antharnams, the core of
aloes, gum of acarias, and other plants and berries, some of which
are extremely unwholesome, constitute their fruits;
lizards , whilst
locusts
almost
every kind of living creature is eagerly devoured,
and grasshoppers not excepted. The poisonous as well as innoxious
serpents they roan and eat. They carefully extract
nines their
of their
bags or
reservoirs of poison, with which they cover the p
arrows."
For particulars of the habits and disposition of the Bosjiemans,
see Professor Leichtenstein's Barchells, Campbell, Backhouse,
Methunes, and Moffatt's Travels in South Africa, and the works of
Dr. Knox, on the Variety of the Human Race.

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.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A REMARKABLE CURB OF
DROPSY, NT Ilouowav's Pius —At Wootton, near Bedford, re-
sides Mr. John Robinson, sen., an opulent farmer, who some time
ago, was in a most dangerous state, from dropsy, being nearly double
his ordinary size. Me was given over by his medical attendants, and
was, at the time, not expected to live three days ; yet from this
hop:less state he was cured by taking Ho loway's Pills. This gen-
tleman is well knewn in all the market towns of the county. The
wonders that this fine medicine does in all cases of dropsy is traly sur-
Prising, and those who are labouring under this dreadful complaint
should certainly try this reme Sold by all druggists, and at Pro-
fessor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand. London.
The man who cut his throat on 'Thursday morning
near the Bank of England is a German, and not a French.
man, as was supposed at first. It appears he attempted to
murder a boy previous to cutting his own throat in the
street. The house-surgeon at St. Thomas's gives no hope of
his recovery.

PEEL'S BILL OF 1844.
(From the Morning Advertiser.)
The state of the Money' Market is still the absorbing topic,
and there can be little doubt it will continue to be so, until
something is done to mitigate the existing pressure. Minis-
ters may persevere a little longer in their resistance to any
alteration in the Bill of 1844, but they must, in the end,
succumb to the force of circumstances. Even now we fancy
we can discern indications of their feeling a presentiment
that they must yield. The Chancellor of the Exchequer did
not speak on Monday in the same decided terms not to relax
the rigours of Peel's Bill which he did on previous occasions.
Nor need we wonder at this, when we reflect on the nume-
rous deputations which have, within thelast fortnight,waited
on him from London and Liverpool, to urge upon him the
Inevitable ruin which will be brought on the mercantile ill •
terests, should Ministers persevere in their adherence to the
measure of 1844. And if the Right lion. Gentleman were
beginning to waver before, he must have been still more
shaken in his attachment to Peel's Bill, by the number of
influential and intelligent Members, who, on Monday.
ascribed to the operation of that Bill the terrible state
things which now prevails. But what will be considered still
more surprising and hopeful, is the fact, that even Sir Robert
Peel himself, the author of the measure, manifestly
begins to have misgivings as to the practical workings of the
measure, in a season of adversity. On Monday night the ex-
Premier distinctly stated that if it should be found on trial
not to -work in the manner anticipated, no foolish parental
affection for the measure would induce him to cling to it.
Sir Robert, it is true, does not admit that a case has yet been
made out against his Bill, but it is a great thing to extract
from him an admission that its failure is within the bounds
of possibility. He would have made no such admission three
months ago. Altogether, indeed, we see abundant grounds
to believe, that if Ministers be only sufficiently pressed they
will: consent to capitulate. The Opponents of the measure
must give the Premier and the Chancellor of the Exchequer
no rest. Deputation after deputation must wait on them, to
bring before them the disastrous effects which are daily pro-
duced by the Bill of 1844, and to repeat, over and over again,
the expression of the universal belief prevailing among mer-
cantile men, that if some modification of the measure be not
speedily made, there will be a complete extinction of trade
and commerce. The complete failure of Peel's Bill has not taken
by surprise the banking interests of the metropolis, nor the
more intelligent of our City merchants. On the contrary,
matters have just turned out as they expected and predicted.
The measure was strenuously opposed, when before Parlia-
ment, by nearly all the London banking establishments.
The only exception of note was that of Loyd Jones and Co.,
and the name of that firm was put down to a memorial
against the Bill, though afterwards withdrawn from personal
considerations, at the instance of one of the partners. The
metropolitan banking opponents of the Bill drew up and pre-
sented to Sir Robert Peel a strong memorial on the question.
And as that question is at this moment one of the gravest
kind that ever came before the Legislature, we give, in this
prominent part of our paper, the document referred to.
Though brief, it is pregnant with force and full of meaning.
It is this:—

" TO THE RIGHT HON. SIR H. PEEL, BAR?., M.P.
" Sir,—We, the undersigned bankers of London, are in-
duced, by the importance of the measure, and our interest
in its success, to address you upon the subject of the Bank
Charter Bill now before Parliament.
" We were led to believe, when the measure was first
brought forward, and we feel confident it was generally un-
derstood throughout the country, that although it was the
intention of her Majesty's Government that the paper cir-
culation of the Bank of England in their issue department
should lie limited to an amount not exceeding 14,000,0001.,
upon securities, yet that in the event of any particular crisis
arising, a power was to be reserved by the Bill enabling the
Bank of England, with the consent of the First Lord of the
Treasury, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the Master
of the Mint, to extend their issue upon securities beyond that
amount.
" It is with considerable surprise that we find that the Bill
now before the House of Commons does not contain any pro-
vision for an extension of the issue beyond 14,000,000 E upon
securities, excepting under the special circumstances named
in the sth clause of the Bill now before Parliament.
" We are apprehensive that the absolute limitation of the
issue to 14,000,0001., without any power of expansion being
reserved, whether that amount be in itself a proper amount
or not, will create a general feeling of uneasiness throughout
the country, and by preventing the satisfactory reception of
the measure, will deprive the scheme of many of the advan-
tages it posseses, and interfere with its success.
" We respectfully submit that the effect of such an abso-
lute limitation will be to restrict the business of the country
by leading to general withdrawal of legitimate accommoda-
tion unless some power be reserved by the Bill for extend-
ing the issue, with the sanction of the authorities above
alluded to, in cases of emergency, to be made apparent to
such authorities.

" Lombard-street, June, 11, 1844."
It might have been supposed that such a document, pro-
ceeding from such eminent anthorities on the subject to
which it related, would him 'induced the ex-Premier to
pause and re-examine the grounds on which he had based
his measure. He did no such thing. Priding himself on his
fancied superiority to everybody else, as regarded a know-
ledge of currency and banking, he paid no attention to the
representations of the bankers of the metropolis, but pressed
the Bill through its various stages. Few will envy him his
feelings now, when the event has so strikingly shown that
he was altogether wrong, and that they were altogether
right. The latter must experience no slight gratification in
the reflection, that they foresaw what the consequences
AA the measure would be, and foretold them in the most ex-
plicit terms. " When surrounded," says the Backers'
Cir
eular, "by the distress of their oppressed and broken-hearted
,is one of those anomalies customers, what a source of satisfaction it must be to these
men of foresight that they exerted themselves to avert the
evil which now threatens the ruin of their friends and the
safety of their own positions. Why the authors of this mea-
sure should be allowed to escape without the expression of
public censure and indignation
re-
sulting from servile convention, over which we can do no-
thing but meditate, mourn, and murmur."

RAILWAY
LEGISLATION.
_—
The public are generally aware that the present average
of railway calls is about one million sterling a week. They
are also aware by this time that railway calls are not a mere
that these calls denote an
matter of account. Painful exp erience has brought it home
to every class, and to almost every person in the empire,
materials, and labour, in works of prospective utility, and an
equivalent demand on the existent stock, leading of course to
a corresponding enhancement of these commodities. In the
green days of hope and credulity, when cheap food was con-
sidered a national calamity,
when the immediately available
equivalent
expenditure of food,
resources of Europe and America were believed inexhaustible,
and any undertaking whatever that returned 5 per cent. on
calls paid up was thought to be therefore actually and at
once reproductive, we found it impossible to fix the atten-
tion of the public or the Legislature to the serious character
of the engagements in which the country at large was in-
volving itself. The present aspect of affairs, however, is one
calculated to sober the most volatile minds, and tie them to
the rigours of arithmetic. A Parliamentary return, of which
we publish an abstract to-day, informs us exactly what we
have already undertaken to spend and to pay. The Acts
passed in the two last sessions authorise new calls and loans
to the atount of 124,675,6551. The portion of this sum ac-
tually so raised is 28,320,020/. It follows that the sum
yet to be raised in order to complete the lines granted
in 1845 and 1846 is 96,355,635/. Supposing this to
be spread over two years, it results that the popular
average of a million a week is not far from the truth. There
are, indeed, very few of the lines which the projectors do not
contemplate finishing by May, 1849. We have our own
opinion—the opinion we have always entertained and de-
clared—as to the possibility of this gigantic aggregate of un-
dertaking. We believe that it will involve the whole mer-
cantile world, and with it all the industrial classes, in diffi-
culties beyond our present experience. However, what is
done cannot be helped. It seems agreed on all hands that
this part of the experiment must work itself out. Nature: vis
medicatriat, as exhibited in the spontaneous movements of
commerce and trede, is to reduce the disorder. and heal the
wounds inflicted by the public cupidity and rashness. The
public attention is rather directed to the fresh undertakings
now before Parliament. They can be confined to a safe
compass, or subjected to prudent conditions. What, then, is
their extent? The question is answered by the same Par-
liamentary return. The capital proposed to be raised by the
Bills of this session is altogether 47,486,6741., of which
31,161,6741. is for extensions and other improvements of lines

already opened, and 16,325,0004, is for railways not yet
engagements, entailing a probable outlay of

competing. Supposing all the objects to be sanctioned, con-
-01. a week for 120 weeks to the end of August,
pass, there will then be an addition of about 24,000,0001. to

1,200,000/. Two motions bearing upon the pending_ and all
future Bills are now before the Commons. Mr. Hume has
given notice of one for this evening, which proposes to put a
serious check on the borrowing powers hitherto conceded to
all railway companies. The power of contracting loans in
the proportion of a third of their capital has immensely •
creased the ability of the directors to push on the l-
nprogress
of their lines. The object of the motion is that no company
shall be allowed to use any new powers of raising m 3
with which it may be furnished by Parliament till it ht
thoroughly exhaused its existing powers ; that, for ea.

for, and realised, the remaining 15/, from the original share-
holders. Such is the remedy Mr. Hume proposes. Mr.
Mackinnon has one of a less artificial character, and which
certainly does look a very rude piece of legislation. It is that
no railway company whose Bill shall have passed this ses-
sion, and which as yet has made no call, shall be empowered
to do so until the Ist day of January, 1850.
Such is the
motion of which he has given notice for next Thursday, by
which time he will probahy either give it a more definite

character, or withdraw
iili altogether. Of this latter
lan it is therefore needless to speak. Of the former,

siderable hardship en the holders of original shares,
many of whom are trustees, or people living on their divi-
dends, and wholly out of the sphere of
the Money-market,
to Lind themselves suddenly dunned for " calls," and obliged
either to sell their shares at a loss, or to borrow money at a
high rate of interest.
The measure would, in fact, necessi-
tate an infinite number of small transactions, accompanied
with much inconvenience, confusion, and loss; nor is it by
any means certain that it would limit the enterprise or
thwart the ingenuity of those potent and versatile person-
ages, the monarchs, and cabinets, and legal advisers of the
great railway companies. For our own part, we still abide
by the view which from first to last we have maintained,
