T4ION 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 iu modern education ; and every
father must admit the truth of the oft.reoeated adage, that it is a
delightful task to teach the young idea how to shoot. Chi dren of
a tender age and those 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 L'ONS. The noble AFRICAN LION " NERO " Is
indeed all that the imagination could paint of the King of Beasts ;
his long black flowing mane falls in curls of j-t about his neck an:
shoulders, and forms a complete ornament for.the fore part of his
body. His voice of thunder echoer; through the canvas walls of the
Encampment, and ever and anon the lightAng gaze of his specula-
tive eyes glares upon his opponent, and seems to bid defiance to all
earthly competitors. The FIGHT, CAPTUftE, 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 stbs weight, whose diminutive propor-
tions are wonderfully contrasted by his majestic e. The next
appearance in this seat of war for the wild ones is the ("HIM PAN-
Z EE, or BLACK OURANG OUTANG, the connectinz link 'ta ixt
man and beast. Then follows in succession the CARNIVOROUS
TRIBE, headed by the TIGER and TIGRESS lately arrived in this
port by the barque Neptune, commanded by Captain Lefevre, landed
In the King'g Dock.
The INFANT ELEPHANT, in minatnre 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 AVI RY of BIRDS delight with their melodious notes the
ears Of the visitors. The HYENAS. POLAR and BROWN BEARS,
SLOTHS, JACKA LLS, and a multitudinaus collection of BEASTS,
MONSTERS of the DEEP, and REPTILES that crawl on the
earth, finish the third section of the Encampment.
The SIMLA or MONKEY TRIBE are moat amusing, and ty their
mischievous antics and grimaces please the juveniles and others,
and Purchase many a hearty laugh from the staid and grave who
seldom smile.
Pecvious 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 knowledge of the habits and appetites
of the inhabitants of the woods and wilds, the plains and deserts,
the earth, air, and water, concluding by morally quoting applicable
words from admired authors, ancient and modern. . .
