THE LION-SLAYER AT HOME IN HIS
ENCAMPMENT,

ERECTED ON SIIAW'S•BROW, LIVERPOOL.
THIS DAY , and during the
.Week.
ARRIVAL OF

THE CHIMPANZEE, OR BLACK ORANG-OUTANG,

of South Africa, added to the already numerous assemblage.

IMPORTANT!-A STAB IN THE DARK.

Malicious Misrepresentation, Unblushing Effrontery, and Van
Dieman's Land Ticket-of-Leave Enormity. A plain and honest
Statement of Facts, whispered by a Voice from the Establish-
ment.
TO THE KIND FRIENDS AND PATRONS OF THE
LION-SLAYER.

Observing an advertisement in the ilercury of Saturday last
(doubtless penned by some briefiess lawyer employed by the pro-
prietor of a rival establishment), I, James Lee, secretary to the
Lion-slayer, friendly take upon mysel to call upon the author of
those slanderous lines immediately if for the first time in hie life)
to act the pact of an honest man and recall the same, also to make
a public apology for the erroneous statement he has endevourcd to
impress on the public cf Liverpool, and th- vi.itors to the Encamp-
ment of the Lion•slayer. In that case he may meet with forgive-
ness from head-quarters, although it is impossible to forget the
assassin-like attack; for, as observed by the immortal bard—
" He takes away my life
Who takes away the means by which I live."

If the dastard, cowardly individual viral not thus improve his
moral character, I, deputed by the Lion-slayer, hereby challenge
any proprietor of a travelling menagerie in her Majesty's dominions
of England, Ireland, Scotland, or Wales, for the eum of £lOOO
sterling, to produce a living Chimpanzee, or Black Orang-Outang,
of south Attica. equal to the one brought over by the mail steamer
Candace, which animal is now in th,i possession and the sole pro-
perty of the Lion-slayer. If either of these alternatives be not
acupted, the public will jud: e for themselves. In concluding this
unpleasant subject, I will content myself by again quoting the
pride of Strattord-on-Avon, who has justly stated that—

"Envy is the foulest weed that grows,
And cankers all wholesome fruits that surround It."

The Lion-slayer most respectfully intimates that notwithstanding
the hazardous outlay of capital embarked in this enterprize, there
will be no extra charge ; and lie wit also introduce his
CHAMPION BLACK-MANED AFRICAN LION, s' NERO,"
400 POUNDS WeIGHT,
• -

Wonderfully contrasted by the IN PANT PET LION, 4 lbs wei:.ht,
Also, the TAWNEY TWIN LIONS of the South, whom he will,
each hour, Hunt, Fight, Attack, Defeat, and Capture.
A Descriptive Lecture previous to each encounter with the wild
ones will be delivered by an official attendant.

SELECT DAY EXHIBITION from Twelve to Four o'clock.
Admission Is each.

ILLUMINATED LOUNGE and EVENING PROMENADE,
commencing at Six o'clock, when the public generally will be
admitted at 6d each.

MOST IMPORTANT TO VISITORS OF ALL DENOMI-
NATIONS.

NOTICE.—It is again most positively stated that the Visitors to
the Encampment will not be pestered by a host of vagrant mendi-
cants soliciting sums from the spectators for witnessing the Collec-
tion and Performance for which they have already paid. This
begging system of extortion is in the first instance an offence
against an act of Parliament made and provided for the purpose ;
and, to t-ay the least of it, is disgraceful to any establishm.mt in
the slightest degree presuming to respectability.
;;;N.B.—No connection with any wandering menageries.
The Feeding Time is Half-past Nine o'clock, each Evening,
when the Collection partake of Fish, Flesh, Fowl, and Herbal Food,
according to their particular nature and appetites.
Signed, JAMES LEE, Secretary to the Lion-slayer.
