TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and a BABY, of the BOSJESMAN
or BUSH 1`;: HIE, from the interior of South Africa, a race that,
from their wild habits, could never before be induced to visit a place
of civilization. This opportunity of gratifying the man of science
and the student in zoology has only been obtained by great personal
exertion on the part of the gentlemen who have brought them to
England, at an inintense 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.

Cape Town Paper of the 24th December, which we have lust re•

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 of a Mr. J. G. It. Bishop, who has
been 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.

Methune's, and Moffatt's Travels in South Africa.
Admission One Shilling, and Reserved Seats Two Shillings and
Sixpence,

GOLD, SILVER, DIAMONDS, PEARLS, and
all the most precious and costly gems, are imitated to such
perfection, that but very few uninitiated persons can positively tell a
paste brooch or a ring from a diamond, the real pearl from the
imitation, or German Silver from the genuine ; but put them into
the hands of the connoisseur, how soon the delusion vanishes when
he affirms they are but vile and base imitations. So it is with the
most valuable inventions as well as stones and metals. None but
the inimitable in value are imitated in appearance, and as Soon as
the consumer (the best connoisseur) attempts to use them, how soon
he finds out their utter uselessness. Thus it is with the most valuable
of all i ,ventions ; the celebrated METALLIC RAZOR TABLET
of GEORGE SAUNDERS has been the target for imitation for
the last thirty years.
To Gentlemen who shave themselves the following query is pro-
posed.—Why do all the first cutlers in Europe use and recommend
Saunders' Four-sided Tablet Razor Strop ? The answer is simply
because it is the only one that gives to a razor a keen and smooth
edge.

FSSENCE OF LIFE.—
1 Thii va'uable Medicine, which for nearly a century has
maintained so high a reputation in Germany, and other parts
of the Continent, as to have met with the protection of Imperial
and Bavarian privileges, can now be obtained in London.
It was discovered by Dr. Kiesow, an eminent physician of Augs-
burg, and Counsellor to the King of Bavaria; and as an effectual
remedy in removing the various diseases incident to the abdominal
viscera it stands unparalleled. In all cases of dyspepsia or indiges-
tion, which tend generally to headache, giddiness, or nervous debility,
it yields immediate relief.
Further particulars may be learnt in a 'tledical Treatse, gratis,
