NOW EXHIBITING, at the PORTICO, BOLD-
STREET, at Twelve in the Day, Four in the Afternoon,
and Eight in the Evening,
THE BO SJE SMANS,
OR, BUSH PEOPLE OF SOUTH AFRICA ;
The most singular specimens of that decreasing Race of Human
tieings, consisting of Two Men, Two Women, and a Baby, of
the Bosjesman Tribe, from the interior of Southl 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 of Zoology has only been ob-
tained by great personal exertion on the part of the Gentlemen
Who 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 tht must be excited btheir apearance.
From Moffatt the Missiaonary's Work on Southern Afprica, page
53'--" Poor Bushman 1 thy hand has been against every one,
and every one's hand against thee. For generations past they
have been hunted like partridges in the mountains. Deprived
of what nature had
made their own, they became desperate,
wild, fierce d indomitable in their habits. Hunger compels
them to red"

Mist almost every kind of living crea-
ture is eagerly devoured, lizards, locusts, and grasshoppers not
excepted. The poisonous as well as innoxious serpents they
roast and eat. They carefully extract their bags or reservoirs
of poison with which they cover the points of their arrows."
Mr. Robert Moffat, the son of the above-named Missionary, kas thus written in the book of autograph§, which may be seen
at the Portico :

Ilushmen of South Africa. " ROBERT MorrArr."
At Exeter-hall, London, Dr. Knox, the celebrated Lecturer
.1h the Human Race, delivered a most scientific discourse, be-
fore a crowded audience, on the singular habits of
THESE MOST EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE,
reports of which may be had at the Portico.
In addition to the certificates of the Missionaries and others
Who have visited the interior of South Africa, (which may be
4ee n at the Portico,) showing that the Bosjesmans are as great
Curiosity in the Cape as they are in Europe, will be found the
testimony
of General NAPIER, the late Governor of the Cape of
'Good Hope, who visited them at the Egyptian Hall.
