EXTRACTS FROM THE:"ILLUSTRATED LONDON

NE'sV S."

Zinn XAFFIRS.—A complete picture of Kaffir life is exhibi-
ted at St. George's Gallery, Hyde-park corner, with such
admirable accessories in the way of scenic illusion, that it may
rather be described as a picturesque drama illustrative of
Kaffir manners and customs. The actors are a party of Zulu
men, who, in the costume, of their tribe, hunt, eat, sing, dance,
make love, and fight, in a ssrieg of scenes which charm by
their spirit and tretisenalance. .The performance has its comic
features; for the Zulu poet-laureate wears a leopard's head
and collar of tigers' tails, when he chants the king's praises ;
and the entrance of the witch-doctor, in pursuit of the sorcerer
who has caused the illness of a sick man, for the Zulus believe
that all illness itethe result of witchcraft, is more amusing than
anything in a farce., The cries, songs, and dances of these
extraordinary people arc extremely amusing; and the pencil
of 'Mr. C. Marshall enables the visitor to realise the scenery
of Port Natal. Pietermaritsburg, the Basut i Country, &c.
TUE &ME' KAFFIRS AT THE ST. GEORGE'S GALLERY,
Klrrourssainot —This band of wild but interesting savages
are taking such high rank among the metropolitan exhibitions
of the present season, and represent so faithfully tke manners,
habits, and costume of their tribe, that we give an illustration
of a scene in their performances. A number of huts, such as
they occupy, are placed upon the stage, with an African land-
scape in the background ; and, one by one, the savages
make their appearance, engaged in the pursuits of their every-
day life. Alter a supper of meal, of which the Kaffirs
partake with their ler. e wooden spoons, an extraordinary song
and dance are performed, in which each performer moss s
about on his haunches, grunting and snorting the while like
a pair of asthmatic bellows. We mentioned one or two of
the more ludicrous scenes last week; but no description can
give an idea of the cr;es and shouts—now comic, now terrible
—by which the Kaffirs express their emotions. The scene
illustrative of the preliminaries of marriage an 4 the bridal
festivities might leave one in doubt which was the bridegroom,
did not that interesting savage announce his enviable situation
by screams of isestiey which convulse the audience.
Open on TUESDAY NEXT, January Bth, 18,1, at Six o'clock
pan. Leach succeeding day from Eleven con to Ten ..m.
during the untie Menagerie is the only Exhibition
ouT or London where a large and genuine Zoological Collection
