of the City in Parliament, at the ensuing Election, and I respect
fully announce to you my intention to solicit your suffrages so coo
as Parliament shall be dissolved.
Having sper.t the win le of my life in active pursuits, both official
and commercial, within the Cities of London and Westminster, my
character and my opinions upon the great political subjects which
-have for some years been 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
?Mire.
I shall, at the same time, be always ready to unite with men of
Parties in endeavouring to effect such improvements in our
social institutions, as may be con.Cdered likely 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 pleasure to honour the with your confidence, I shall have an
additional satisfaction in seeing 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 servant,
JOHN JOHNSON.

invitation to become a Candidate for the Representation of
Surrey, conveyed to me in a requisition from such a portion of
Y. as me no doubt of their ability to carry their wishes

your support.
411,..1PrIlloiplas n which I offered myself as a Candidate for your
or 'ages in 1837,0 and which I have seen no reason since to change
st. I"difY. are now to a great degree adopted by many who were
.L that time strenuously opposed to them. Those pe.nciples were,
ZIT my earliest youth, inculcated on me by the example and in-
etimis of my father. From him I learnt that as the legitimate
Jen of every Government is tile happiness and well-being of the
,nple. se the means of effecting that object in a free state like
"l.'s, Must emanate from the people themselves. I am therefore
5i..2°3 to extend to them as large a share of liberty and power as
are capable of enjoying and of exercising to their own ad-

xXle most EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBITION of ABORIGINES
e: Mt SEEN in EUROPE landed In Liverpool by the brig Fanny,
*t 5d Wheeler, and will, be EXHIBITED, for the first time,
the EGYPTIAN HALL, Piccadilly, on THURSDAY.
TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and a BABY, of the BOSJESMAN
sr BUSH TRIBE, front the
never lnterior of South Africa, a race that,
Vera their wild habits, could
uldbefore be induced to, visit a place
of civilization. This opportunity of gratifying the max 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 aro the Bosjes-
loans, or Bush People from the interior of South Africa, of which so
Much has been written by the missionaries, and the few who have
travelled to that far distant region. They are natives of the country
herdering the Great Orange River, 1,209 or 1.400 miles from Cape
.rOWn. They exhibit almost as striking an absence of the intellectual or
411er faculties as is observable in the skull of that mockery of
Zihnitnity, the Baboon, while the preponderance of the animal
Vinally as great. In every respect they are calculated to excite
~,,',„greatest astonishment, and to contrza to the full those " Taloa
•,,c. &revellers" which we have certainly been inclined to look upon
e,,;,,"%a08141c10n. We could scarcely have credited that such a race
ca—m oe in existence on the earth. That they are genuine no one
caiLdoubt ; in proof of which we give the following extract from a
e 7.,,T0wn Paper of the 24th December, which we have just re •
reee-':—" We understand the brig Fanny, Captain Wheeler, which
f rifly left Table Bay for Liverpool, had on board an unusual kind
arnanell:„rta,hon, viz., two males and two females of the genuine Bush-
bee -"teles; they are in charge of a Mr. J. G. IL Bishop, who has
n at considerable trouble and expense in procuring
