NOW EXHIBITING, AT THE

FGYPTIAN HALL, PICCADILLY,
the most EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBITION of ABORI-
GI_N ES EVER SEEN in EUROPE, landed in Liverpool by the
brig Fanny, Captain Wheeler.
TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and a BABY, of the BOSJESMAN
er BUSH TRIBE, 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 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—Interesting specimens of a most extraordinary race
of human beings have been landed in our port; they are the Bosjes-
mans, or Bush I'eople from the interior of South Africa, of which so
mach has been written by the missionaries, and the few who have
travelled to that far distant region. They are natives of the country
bordering the Great Orange River, 1,200 or 1.400 miles from Cape
Town. They exhibit almost as striking an absence of the intellertual 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 such a race
could be in existence on the earth. That they are genuine no one
can doubt ; in proof of which we give the following extract from a
Cape Town Paper of the 24th December, which we have just re •
ceived :—" We understand the brig Fanny, Captain Wheeler, which
recently left Table Ray 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. R. Bishop, who has
been at considerable trouble and expense in procuring them from the
interior. They arc authentic specimens of this diminutive and ra-
pifily decreasing tribe of Aborigines, found only in Southern Africa.
For particulars of the habits and disposition of the Bomjesmans
see Professor Lcichtenstein's, Barchell's, Campbell's, Backh ouse 5,
Methunes, and Moffatt's Travels in South Africa.
Admission One Shilling, and Reserved Seats Two Shillings and
Sixpence.

TO MY LOOKING-GLASS.
Pride of my toilet! think me not conceited
in peeping rather often through your glass;
For oh ! my eye is regularly treated,
On seeing what a chango has come to pass.
I am improved in feature and in figure,
And really I appear a little bigger.

At one time I'd have parted with a ransom
For pleasing form and gentlemanly air ;
But now (without that cost) I'm getting handsome,
Through nothing but the garments that I wear.
See, bright reflector ! what my form discloses.
And duly estimate the Mart of MOSES•

Well do I recollect my first appearance"
In fashionable dress from MOSES' Mart ;
Of all my shabby looks there was a clearance,
And in an instant I became quite smart.
No doubt you recollect my gazing at you
In mute amazement, like a marble statue.

I never look through thee, thou needful glass,
But with a wish for MOSES' vast success;
May they who caused this change to come to pass
Be still triumphant in their matchless dress.
For, oh ! the beauty which your plate discloses
" Reflects bright" credit on the Mart of MOSES'.
