TO THE ELECTORS OF THE EASTERN DIVISION OF THE

COUNTY OF SURREY.

GIENTLEMBN,
IN compliance with a Requisition addressed to me
by upwards of 1,200 Electors, I readily declare myself a CAN-
DIDATE for the honour of representing East Surrey in Parliament ;
and it affords me the greatest satisfaction to and myself associated
with a gentleman whose principles—l have reason to believe—are so
much in accordance with my own.
My political opinions were made known to you in 1841, when I
declared myself an advocate for a total repeal of the corn-laws. It
was then my conviction that commercial restrictions were impolitic;
and it has been some compensation for the defeat I then experienced,
to see the principles of free trade, so soon and almost universally re-
cognised among civilised nations.
the corn-laws having been repealed, and protection to the farmers
withdrawn, justice requires that protection to others should no longer
be continued. I am therefore ready to vote for a repeal of the malt-
tax, and for the abolition or reduction of many other duties on the
comforts and necessaries of life, which press heavily on the working
classes.
I am an advocate of that gradual extension of the elective fran-
chise which the progress of knowledge is fast rendering necessary.
Of religious liberty in its full sense I am a staunch supporter. My-
self a sincere member of the Established Church, I claim for others
the same freedom of judgment which I enjoy.
Having always taken a deep interest in the subject of education,
I trust the time will shortly arrive when its inestimable blessings
will be extended to the whole community without distinction, and
on such terms that none may feel themselves conscientiously obliged
to decline its advantages.
Having property in this division of the county, and residing
amongst you, it is impossible for me not to take a deep Interest in
your local affairs; and if you should confer on me the honour of
representing ycur interests in Parliament, be assured that I shall
strive to prove myself worth, of your confidence.

I have the honour N be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient and faithful servant,
THOMAS ALCOCK.

Li.• INVENTOR% AND SOLE PREPARERS or THE
ORIGINAL SINGLE AND DOUBLE SODA WATERS,
57, UI'PER SACKVILLE STREET, DUBLIN;
Sr. ALBAN'S PLACE, ST. JAMES'S, LONDON.
These waters were introduced to the notice of the public, as their
invention, by the testimony of the Professor of Chemistry (the late
Robert Percival, M.D.), in his lectures in Trinity College, Dublin,
and from that period hare continued to obtain the recommendation
of the Gentlemen of the Medical Faculty, and the approbation of
the public.

The SINGLE and DOUBLE SODA WATERS derive their names
not from the quantity of fixed air which they contain, but from the
proportions of Sal Soda. which, when prepared in the PECULIAR
MANNER employed by
A. and IL lAWAITES and Co., renders them highly useful
to the powers of digestion, improving th« appetite, warming
the stomach, and stimulating the hepatic functions.
The above kinds of SODA WATER are exclusively prepared by
th«-rn, and are not mairufaetured by any other house in the KING-
DOM.

A NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.
MR. 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 wit
never change col ur or c.ecay, and will be tound 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 economleal. he has fixed his charges at the lowest
scale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastica-
tion.--52, Fleet-street. At Home from Ten till Five.

EXETER-HALL. --A LECTURE on the
BOSJIEMAN RACE (Pigmies) of SOUTHERN AFRICA,
unquestionably the most extraordinary race of mankind, as well
physically as intellectually, will be DELIVERED on the EvialNo
of MONDAY, the 17th inst., at Eight r.sf., by ROBERT KNOX, M.D.,
F.R.S.E., Corresponding Member of the Academie Royale de Mode-
cine, 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, a.,(1 the
alltimportant questions of Christian mission, and human civilization
in that quarter of the globe. In illestration of the Lecture, Dr.
Knox will introduce to the notice of the physiologist and man of
science Five liosjientans, 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. GI body of the hall
and west gallery, Is. Entrance to the platform and reserved seats
front the Strand; to the body of the hall and west gallery from
Exeter-street.' Tickets may_ be had of Mr. Renshaw, Medical Book-

TIRE MOST EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBI-
TION of ABORIGI" ES EVER SEEN in EUROPE, landed
In Liverpool by the brig Fanny. Captain Wheeler, and will be
EXHIBITED, for the first time, at the EGYPTIAN lIALL, Pic-
cadilly, early in the ensuing week.
SOUTH AFRICAN ABORIGINES—TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN,
and A BABY, of the BOSJIEMAN or BUSH T!:IBE, from the

Interior of South Africa, a r.ice 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
kas 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 5a.)
" Poor Bushman Thy hand has been against every one, and
every one's hand against thee. For generations past they have bees
hunted like partridges in the mountains. Deprived of 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. Was, wild garlic, mysembry antharnams, the core of
aloes, gum of *caries, sad other plants and berri, some of which
are extremely unwholesome, constitute their frueitss; whilst almost
every kind of living creature is eagerly devoured, lizards, locusts
and grasshoppers not excepted. The poi'onous as well as innoxious
serpents they roast and eat. They carefully extract their bags or
reservoirs of poison, with which they cover the points of their
arrows."

For particulars of the habits and disposition of the Dosjlemans,

hlethunes, and Moffatt's Travels in South Africa, and the works of
Dr. Knox, on the Variety of the Human Race.
