TWO 111 EN, TWO WOMEN, and a BABY, of the BOSJESMAN
or BUSH TRIBE, from the interior of South Africa, a race that,
from their wild habits, could never before be lnduced to visit a place
of civilization. This opportunity ofgratifying the man of science

From the Liverpool Journal : —" Bosjesmans, or Bush People, from
Southern Africa—Interesting 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 tke 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 full 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 in 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., two males and two females of the genuine Bush-
man species; they are in charge of a Mr. J. G. It. 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,
Methune's, and Moffatt's Travels in South Africa.

MR. HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet-

TION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or
ligatures. They so perfectly resemble e natural teeth as not to be
distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will
never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any
teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction
(2,1' 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 economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest

GUILDHALL.

James M Cann,—;,loti;;;;;an tailor, working in
Fleet-lane, was charged with assaulting Maria Partridge,
a married woman, about 35 years of age.
The complainant stated that her husband carried on a
small business as a cook, supplying chops and steaks,
tea and coffee, to the men working at the printing-offices
in the neighbourhood. The prisoner was an acquaintance
and an occasional customer. Yesterday he came in, and
had a beef-steak in their parlour, in Fleet-lane. At one
o'clock her husband went out with some chops to a
printing-office in Bishop's-court, Old Bailey, and while
he was gone the prisoner asked her to give him a kiss.
She said she would do nothing of the sort, and he pro-
ceeded to try to get one by force. She struggled with
him and foiled him, but ho threw her down upon the
floor, and kneeling down, attempted to raise her clothes.
This also she prevented, and compelled him to desist by
screaming murder, which brought a neighbour to her
assistance.

Mrs. Waters, the neighbour, said she heard Mrs.
Partridge scream " murder" twice. She paid no atten-
tion to the first call, but when she heard the cry re-
peated in the course of three minutes, she thought she
had better see what was the matter. As she entered the
room the prisoner retired to the further end, sat down
upon a bed, and hastily adjusted a portion of his dress.
Mrs. Partridge was much excited, and had a child in her
arms, and she complained that the prisoner had thrown
' lake liberties with

the symptoms, and
. surgeNo, of the Kensal-road, was
promptly in attendance, and seeing the state the parties
were in he inquired what they had eaten ? He was told
that they had eaten a quantity of rhubarb pudding, and
w i s shown the remainder of it, which was lying on the
table. From the symptoms which showed themselves
he was positive that it was not the fruit in the pudding,
but some violent poison that was acting on their consti-
tution ; and from the metallic taste they described as
having in their throat he felt convinced that they had
partaken of arsenic. He make known his suspicions to
the sufferers, when Mrs. Hickman's sister exclaimed,
" It must be that white composition which I found in
a bag in the cupboard, and which I mixed with the
pudding." Hickman, on hearing that, exclaimed,
" My good God, why that is the white arsenic I have
years

of
th the
proeissuol and
ntln
the course of an hour and a half afterwards another of
the children, named John, three years of age, also ex-
pired. A third child, aged eighteen months, named
Henry, next died. Mary Ann, aged four and a half
also died at half-past ten. Seeing that there was little
hopes of saving any of the sufferers, Dr. Barnes, of
Notting-hill, and Dr. Browne, of Kensal-green, were also
called in, but in spite of their utmost exertions they
were unable to effect much good, and at eleven o'clock
on Sunday night the fifth child, named Harriet Eliza-
beth, aged six years, expired. Mr. Abercrombie con-
tinued in attendance throughout the whole of Sunday
night and yesterday morning,
but in spite of all his
efforts the father of the above unfortunate children died
at half-past twelve yesterday. He was only thirty-four
years of age, and up to the time of his death he exhi-
bited the greatest anxiety for the fate of his wife and
offspring.
Mrs. Hickman, her sister, and her son Thomas, aged
twelve years, were at six o'clock last evening all three
alive, but it was the opinion of the surgeons that, al-
though there were strong hopes of the sister and son',,
recovery, from the fact of Mrs. Hickman being enceinte,
she could not possibly survive many hours. Mr. Aber-
crombie has taken possession of the remainder of the
pudding, and what they had thrown off their stomachs.
Tho latter he has analysed and found that it contained a
considerable quantity of arsenic, and on questioning
Caroline Bonerny, he learned from her that the bag
contained at least halt a pound of that poison.
The statement made by the husband prior to death,
and which was confirmed by his wife, was, that a quan-
tity of arsenic had been kept in a bottle; but some time
since, by mishap, the bottle was knoced down and
broken, and the contents were afterwards placed in an
old flour bag and deposited in ono corner of the cup-
board, where it remained until removed by his sister-in-
law. For what object the poison was in the first in-
stance obtained, or why it should have been placed in
the cupboard, will be fully investigated at the coroner's
inquest.
The whole of the six bodies were lying last evening in
the washhouse adjacent to the cottage, and the imme-
diate neighbourhood was visited during the day by many
thousand persons. The police very properly refused the
admission of strangers, who were incessant in their ap-
plicaticns to view the bodies.

SIR JOHN BECKETT, BART.
We have to announce the demise of the Right Hon.
Sir John Beckett, Bart., who expired at six a.m., yes-
terday, at Brighton, the Right Hon. Baronet having re-
paired to that watering place with the view of regaining
his health. The highly-respected deceased had been ill
for the last month, but no serious apprehensions were
entertained till the close of the past week, when it be-
came apparent to his medical attendants that he was
sinking rapidly, Lady Anne Beckett has been in con-
stant attendance on Sir John, at Brighton, throughout
his illness. The deceased Baronet was eldest son of Sir
John Beckett, by the !laughter of Dr. Wilson, Bishop of
Bristol, and was in
.his 71st year, having been born in
1776. He married in January, 1817, Lady Anne Low-
ther, third daughter of the late and sister of the present
Earl of Lonsdale. Sir John attained distinguished
honours at Trinity College, Cambridge, having been fifth
wrangler in 1795. He entered the House of Commons,
as member for Cockermouth in 1820, sad sat for Hasle-
mere in 1826, 1830, and 1831. In 1832 he unsuccessfully
contested East Retford, and in 1334, on the vacancy
