TIION 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.rel eated adage, that it is a
delightful task to teach the young idea how to shoot. Chi ellen of
a tender age and thoso of a larger growth will receive a wholesome
lesson by paying a visit to the Encampment of the Lion Slayer, and
observing the denizens of the forest which he has named the
FAMILY OF LIONS. The noble AFRICAN LION "NERD" is
indeed all that the imagination could paint of the King of Beasts;
his long black flowing mane falls in curls of jot about his neck and
shoulders, and forms a complete ornament for the fore part of hjg
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 concluded, the hardy
Scot, surnamed the Lion Slayer, introduces his PARLOUR PET
LION, five weeks old, and s,lis weight, whose diminutive propor-
tions are wonderfully contrasted by his majestic sire. The next
appearance in this seat of war for the wild ones is the CHIMPAN-
ZEE, or BLACK OUR ANG OUTA NG, the connecting link 'twist
man and beast. Then follows in succession the CARNIVOROUS
TRIBE, headed by t"e TIGER. and TIGRESS lately arrived in this
port by the barque Neptune, commanded by Captain L4evre, landed
in the King's Dock,

The INFANT ELEPHANT, in minatnre castle, appears and teems
loudly to command. The craft and cunning of his kind are truly
developed by this sagacious beast. The HORNED HORSES 0?
HINDOSTAN fill the next co apartment. The LLAMA follows;
then the AVIARY of BIRDS delight with their trelcdious notes the
ears of the visitors. The HYENAS, POLAR and BROWN BEA RS,
SLOTHS, JACKALLS, and a multitudin:us collection of BEAST.,,
MONSTERS of the DEEP, and REPTILES that crawl on the
earth, finish the third section of the Encampment.
The SIMLA or MONKEY TRIBE are most ,musing, and I.y their
mischievous antics and grimaces please the juvmlves 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 I into those who need it, a krowledge of the habits and appeti es
of the inhabitants of the woods and wilds, the plains and sorts,
the earth, air, and water, concluding by morafly quotin applicable
words from admired authors, ancient and modern.

The MUSICAL IMPERIAL BAND enliven the scene by their
melody and choice selections.
The Establishment is open from Twelve o'clock a m. until Ten
