TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and a BABY, of the BOSIESMAN
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 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 Bosjes-
mans, or Bush People from the Interior of South Africa, of which so
mach has been written by the missionaries, and the few who have
travelled to that far distant region. They are natives of the country
berder'ng the Great Orange River, 1,200 or 1.400 miles from Cape
Town. They exhibit almost as striking an absence of the intelle-tual or
higher faculties as is observable in the skull of that mockery of
humanity, the Baboon, while the preponderance of the animal is a!-
most equally as great. In every respect they are calculated to excite
the greatest astonishment, and to confirm to the full those " Tales

NOTICE TO HOLDERS OF POLICIES IN THE EQUITABLE
ASSURANCE COMPANY OF LONDON.

UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY,

No. 8, WATERLOO-PLACE, PALL-MALL, LONDON.

The attention of Holders of Policies in the Equitable Assurance
Cempany of London, is particularly called to the Half-Credit Scales
of Premium of this Company, by which table the bonus to be de-
clared at the next investigation of the Equitable Assurance Company's
affairs, in January, 1850, may be secured at a present annual payment
of one half the rates generally charged by other companies. In the
event of death the sum insured will be paid, after deduction of the
other half of the rates. Should the life insured survive the decla-
ration of the bonus, the policy may be allowed to lapse, and the
Company will renounce all claim for the half premiums which may
be due thereon ; or, in the event of the party being at that time
in bad health, the policy can be kept up at the full premium of
the age as when first accepted. The above plan, originating with
this Company, was found peculiarly advantageous at the last division
of profits in the Equitable Assurance Company in 1840, when it
vas largely adapted, and many of the policies then effected are
still in force, and large bonuses have been added to them on the
scale of the following table :
