EGYPTIANV HALL, PICCADILLY.
the most EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBITION of 1110RI-
GI ES EVER SEEN in EUROPE, landed in Liverpool by the
brig Fanny, Captain Wheeler.
TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and a BABY, of the ROSIESMAN
or BUSII T—IBE, from the interior of South Africa, a race that,
from their wild habits, could never before he induced to visit a place
of civilization. This opportunity of gratifying the man of science
and the student in zoology bas only been ob.ained by great personal
exertion on the part of the gentlemen who have brought them to
England, at an immense outlay of capital. On the passage to Europe
a baby was born at sea, thus adding to the great interest that must
be excited by their appearance.
From the Liverpool Journal : —"Bosjesmans, or Bush People, from
Southern Africa—lnteresting specimens of a most extraordinary race
of human ►eings have been lauded in our pert; the • are the Ilosjes-
mans, or Bush People from the Interior of South Africa, of which so
math has been written by the i•missionaries, and the few who have
travelled to that far distant region. They are natives of the country
herlerng the Great Orange River, 1,200 or 1 400 riles from Cape
Town. They exhibit almost as striking an absence of the intelle teal or
higher faculties as is observable in the skull of that mockery of
humanity, the Baboon, while the preponderance of the animal is al-
most equally as great. In every respect they are calculated to excite
the greatest astonishment, and to confirm to the full those " Tales
of Travellers" which we have certainly been inclined to look upon
with suspicion. We could scarcely have credited that sun a race
could be in existence on the earth. That they are genuine no one
can doubt ; in proof of which we give the fodowing extract from a
Cape Town Paper of the 24th December, which we have just re •
ceived :—" We understand the brit Fanny, Captain Wheeler, which
recently left Table Bay for Liverpool, had on board an unusual kind
of exportation, viz., two males and two females of the genuine Bush-
man species; they are in charge ,•f a Mr. J. G. B Bishop, who has
boen at considerable trouble and expense in procuring them from the
interior. They are authentic specimens of this diminutive and ra-
pidly decreasing tribe of Aborigines, found only in Southern Africa.
For particulars of the habits and disposition of the Bosjesmans,
see Professor Leichtensteln's, Itarchell's, Campbell's, Backkouse's,
Methune's, and aloffatt's Travels in South Africa.
Admission One Shilling, and Reserved Seats Two Shillings and
Sixpence.

And ti .w many a tear has been shed as a token
That promise, like pie-crust, was made to be broken.
How many have said, when untying the band,
" He has taken my heart, but he won't take my hand."
But justice steps in, with a menacing carriage,
To visit the breaches of Promise of Marriage.
But what have those breaches of promise to de
With the tailoring warehouse of MOSES? say you.
Stay, stay, zealous reader, and don't be afraid,
For I'm coming to breaches of promise In trade.
When the Public was courted by MOSES and ,ON,
They offer'd their suit as they ought to have done
The Public (they said,) was their boast and their pride,
An , ever since then they've been closely allied.
They promis'd as suitors, in all things to suit ;
And nought has created the slightest dispute.
Their Addresses and Dresses minutely agree,
And honour—strict honour—at all times we see.
The Public perceiving how matters were planted,
Have taken E. MOSES and SON by the hand;
And now are their mutual interests wed,
And MOSES and SON have fulfill'd all they've said,
May the union subsist as it ever has done—
May the Public esteem more completelY be won
By a happy connexion with MOSES and SON !
