ARRIVAL OP

THE CHIMPANZEE, Oit BLACK ORANG-OUTANG,

of South Africa, added to the already numerous assemblage.
IMPORTANTI—A STAR 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 fro.n the Establish-

ment.
'TO THE KIND FRIENDS AND PATRONS OF THE

LION-SLAYER.

Observing an advertisement in the irercury of Saturday last
(doubtless penned by some brieftess 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 immed,ately Of for the fir-t time in his life)
to act the part of an honest man and recall the same, also to make
a public apology for the erroneous statement he has endevoured to
impress on the public of Liverpool, and th vi-itors to the Encamp-
ment of the Lion-slayer. In that case he may meet with forgive-
ness from head-quavers, although it is impo-sible to forget the
assassin like attack; for, as observed by the irnm alai bard—
" He takes away my 1 fe
Who takes awa the means by which I live."

If the dastard, cowardly individual will not thus improve his
moral character. I, deputed by the Lion-slayer, hereby chaLeng:
any prof re,or nf a tro,otling menagerie in her At nj-st 9a dorninic.ne
of England, Ireland, Scotland, or Wales, for the sum of 'lOOO
sterling, to produce a living Chimpanzee, or Black Orang-Outang,
of s.outh Arica. equal to the one brought over by the mail steamer
Candace, which animal is now in the possession and the sole pro-
perty cf thn Lion-slayer. If ebher of those alternatives be not
accepted, the public will jud: e for themselves. In concluding this
unpleasant subject, I will content myself by again quoting the
pr.de of Stratford-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 intimatesethat notwithstanding
the hazardous outlay of capi!al embarked in this cnterprize, there
will be no extra cha,ge ; and he will also introduce his
CHAMPION BLACK-MANED AFRICAN I.ION, " NERO,"
400 POUNDS WIUGHT,
Wonderfully contrasted by the INFANT PET LION, 4 lbs weißht,
Also, the TAWNEY TWIN LIONS of the South, whpm 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 extort:on is in the first instance an offence
against an act of Parliament made and provided for the purpose ;
and, to say the least of it, is disgraceful to any establishm nt in
the slight. st degree presuming to respectability.
N.6.—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 Herba,. Food,
according to their particular nature and appetites.
Signed, JAMES LEE, Secretary to the Lion-slayer.
