MOW EXHIBITING, at the PORTICO,
111BOLD-
STREET, at Twelve in the Day, Four in the Afternoon,
and Eight in the Evening,
THE BOSJESMANS,
OR, BUSH PEOPLE OF SOUTH AFRICA ;
The most singular specimens of that decreasing Race of Human
Beings, consisting of Two Men, Two Women, and a Baby, of
the Bosjesman 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 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 that must be excited by their appearance.
From Moffatt the Missionary's Work on Southern Africa, page
53 :—" Poor Bushman ! thy hand has been against every one,
and every one's hand against thee. For generations past they
have been hunted like partridses in the mountains. Deprived
of what nature had made their own, they became desperate,
wild, fierce, and indomitable in their habits. Hunger compels
them to feed upon every thing edible. Ixias. wild garlic, mys-
embry, antharnums, the core of aloes, gum of acarias, and other
plants and berries, some of which are extremely unwholesome,
constitute their fruits ; whilst almost every kind of living crelt-
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,
has thus written in the book of autographs, which may be seen
at the Portico :

" Egyptian Hall, London, July 25.
" I have been twelve years in South Africa, and can certify
that,..., are correct specimens of that fast decreasing race, the
Busntnen or South Africa. " ROBERT MOFFATT.”
At Exeter-hall, London, Dr. Knox, the celebrated Lecturer
On the Roman 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
seen at the Portico,) showing that the Bosjesmans are as great
a 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.

TENNY LIND'S VOICE LOZENGES, strongly
recommended to Clergymen, Singers, Public Speakers, and
Actors. These Lozenges were especially prepared for the
private use of Mademoiselle Jenny Lind, who has been in the
habit of using them since her arrival in Bngland, and with the
most beneficial result, and on the occasion of her visit to Bir-
mingham on Thursday, the 26th of August, she at once afforded.
the Proprietor, Mr. Charles Belton, of 43, High-street, Bir-
mingham, an interview, when after expressing herself in the
highest possible terms of approbation as to their very valuable
properties, and the great relief and comfort she had found from
the use of them, presented to him her autograph certificate,
requesting him to make free use of it, to give the Lozenge her
own name, and to assure the public, on her authority, of the
great advantages to be derived from the constant use of them.

TESTIMONIAL.
" I certify that I have used Mr. Charles Belton's Voice Lo-
zenge, and that I have found it useful in strenghening and
N
clearing the voice. (Signed) " JENY LIND."
