T,ION SLAYER'S ENCAMPMENT,
SHAW'S BROW.

ARRIVALS RARE IN LIVERPOOL.

It is a duty incumbent upon all parties who admire the mighty
*works of nature, and who look from nature Up to nature's Cause, to
advocate, both by their precept and example, the study of natural
history, which now ranks high in modern education; and every
father must admit the truth of the oft-reaeated adage, that It is a
delightful task to teach the young idea how to shoot. Chi then of
a tender age and those of a larger growth will receive a wholesome
lesson by paying a visit to the Encampment ti the Lion Slayer, and
observing the denizens of the forest which he has named the
FAMILY OF L- ONS. The noble AFRICAN LION " NERO " is
indeed all that the imagination caald paint of the King of Beasts;
his long black flowing mane falls in curls of jet about his neck and
shoulders, and forms a complete ornament fur the fore part of his
body. His voice of thunder echoes through the canvas walls of the
Encampment, and ever and anon the lightning gaze of his specula-
tive eyes glares upon his opponent, and seems to bid defiance to all
earthly competitors. The FIGHT, CAPTURE, DEFEAT, and
RECONCILIATION of the Family of Lions c,ncludcd, the hardy
Scot, surnamed the Lion. SLyer, introduces If a PARLOUR. PET
LION, five weeks old, and slbs weight, whose diminutive propor-
tions are wonderfully contrasted by his majestic site. The next
appearance in this seat of war for the wild ones is the CHIMPAN-
ZEE, or BLACK OURANG OUTANG, the connemina link 'twixt
man and beast.• Then follows in succession the CARNIVOROUS
TRIBE, headed by tae TIGER and TIGRESS lately arrived in this
port by the barque Neptune, commanded by Captain Lefevre, landed
in the King's Dock.
The INFANT ELEPHANT, in minatare castle, appears and seems
loudly to command. The craft and cunning of his kind are truly
developed by this sagacious beast. The HORNED HORSES OF
HINDOSTAN fill the next compartment. The LLAMA follows;
then the AVIARY of BIRDS delight with their r•. eiralious notes the
ears of the visitors. The HYENAS, POLAR and BROWN BEARS,
SLOTHS, JACKAL LS, ant a multitudinous collection of BEAST-,
MONSTERS of the DEEP, and REPTILES that crawl on the
earth, finish the third section of the Encampment.
The St MIA or MONKEY TRIBE are most amusing, and l y their
mischievous antics and grimaces please the juvenl'es and others,
and purchase many a hearty laugh from the staid and grave who
seldom smile.
Previous to each encounter with the Lions, an aimated LECTURE
is delivered by the Secretary, Mr. James Lee, who endeavours to
inst 1 Into those who need It, a knowledge of the habits anti appetites
of the inhabitants of the woods and wilds, the plains and deserts,
the earth, air, and water, concludin g by morally quoting applicable
words from admired authors, ancient and modern.
The MUSICAL IMPERIAL BAND enliven the scene by their
melody end choice selections.
The Establishment is open from Twelve o'clock a m. until Ten
