CIIRTHAW. Nov. S.—Yesterday, the carriages and
baggage of 1,114 Was. BiNTINt IL were brought round
from Deptford in a steam boat, and immediately shipped
on board his Majesty's ship Undaunted, which ship has
been fitted out for the purpose of conveying the new
Governot-Generil to India. The Undaunted is ready
for sea, and will sill on Tuesday nest for Spithead,
where Lord Was. BENTINCII and suite will embark im•
mediately, and proceed an their voyage for India.
In the long room of the public library at Geneva is
a clock in the form of a temple, on the dome of which
stands a figure of the bled " whose lofty and *drill
sounding ths oat awakes the god of day." The mecha-
nism being wound up, chanticleer flaps his wings and
crows Wally ; whereupon twelve figures, representing
the Apostles, dance to the music of chimes, round a
peristyle. Still lower down the mimic structure is a
balcony, is white's the VIRGIN Man: sits enthroned;
to her, out of a door on the right, comes a winged
figure, representing the angel of the annunciation.—
Presently after, from another door on the left hand side,
a skeleton, as the image of Death, advances, and falls
prostrate at the feet of the VIRGIN. At that moment a
petsonage in the centre of the dome, behind Oust
LAMS," opens a third door, and strikes upon a bell the
time of the day. On this whimsical piece of horology
the date of 1650 is inscribed.

Mr. Gwinnett has given a piece of ground to build
the new Free Church, at Cheltenham, near the end of
Rutland Street, which has biro approved of by the
D:bh^p of Gloucester.

In Cranford Chace befaL

To drive a deer with hound and NW'. I ‘..S::
Sqiiire Berkely took his way; -
And Berkeiys yet unborn may roe ..trifikrel
The hunting of that day.
•:. Tyr/ so.t

To drive a deer o'er hedge and ditch ~s;
Squirt lierkeiy urg'd his hounds ;
It was his daily hunted deer,
Dog cheap at fifty pounds.
At Clayton they turn'd out the deer—
Out of a cover'd cart,
And soon as It was out, I wean,
It forth away did start

ii' .

And many a puppy follow'd it,
. With shouts and yelping, queer,
And many a wile-rnouth'd Gentleman,
And gallant auctioneer.
They turn'd it out at Clayton-green,
To Harrow it did run ;
And into Baker's barn it turn'd,
Quite weary of the fun.
The barn, In which le-refuge 'Ought,
To Baker did belong—
No baker he of cakes and rolls,
But yeoman stout and strong ;
And when he saw the deer rush in
Among his corn and hay,
He clos'd his good barn doors Witt speed'
To keep away the fray.
And calling to his labourers three,
Hr bid them stand fast, near ;
Qnoth he .. Squire Berkely,as I think,
Will speedily be heir.
" I have fore-warted him not to hunt
On any land of mine,
And if he comes ('U let Mm know
The law of nuns and Mine.
Bat if I tbouibt he would not come,
No longer would I stay—"
With that, a brave old labourer
Thus unto him did say: sg
" Lo! yonder cloth 'Squire Berkely come, A
His whipper-in likewise,
Besidera power of odds and ends
Of every sort and size,

,t{l f.

All men of pleasant Cockney-shire,
Each one as light as cork—"
Then shut your mouth," hold Baker said,
" And seise your long pitch-fork."
'Squire Borkely, in a scarlet coat,
Most like a sportsman gay,
Rode foremost of that company,
Who rode behind that day.
" Show' me," quoth he, " whose men ye be
Thatl see standing here?
And why have you presum'd to shut
Yew doors upon um deer?"
The first man that did answer make,
Was valiant Baker, he,
Who said—" We list not to declare
Nor show whose men we be;
But we will spend a thump or two_
To keep these barn-doors clos'd."
Then Berkely swore a bouncing oath—
As well may be suppoid;
. Ere thus I e ill out-braved be,
• I'll blow you up—sky-high ;
I am a gentleman!" said he—
Quoth Baker—" So am I."
• 0 that's all gammon ;" Berkely cried,
And here I you forewarn,
If you don't let my deer come out
I'll sma.h your b—y ham!"
Bold Baker laugh'd a surly laugh,
As he stood on his legs;
Quoth he," Young chap, you'd better teach
Your granny to suck eggs."
Squire Berkely jump'd hum oft' his horse,
And at the barn-door flew ;
Stout Baker push'd him back again
With little more ado.
Then did Squire Berkely raise his voice,
As all men might him hear,
And cried " For Heaven's sake let me in,
I want to save my deer."
My deer would last me many a day, •
And make me lots of sport ;
But now the hounds are all got in,
And they will cut it abort!
" Tut, tut !" said valiant Baker then—a
" I give you now to know,
I would not care if beds were dead—.
You and your deer also!
And well I wot, the deer itself,
.If it could say its say,
Would rather die here once for all,
Than bunted be each day.
But die, or not, no man shall come
In here to spoil my hay!"
Quoth Berkeley " For whatever's spoll'd
Right willingly I'll pay I"
'Twas ill in vain;—bold Baker did
Defy him where he stood •
Nor threats nor promises could work
- The smallest bit of good.
Whereat, Squire Berkely in a rage
Laid Maki of the barn-door ;
But Baker grasp'd his collar fast,
Which did enrage him more; •
And with ths iron-hooted whip he did
Rap Baker's knuckles well;
For which bold Baker suddenly
Did cause his lip to swell;
lie weird his lip with punch of fist—
A sturdy punch, I wia;
And Berkely to his friends did say,
1! Gents, will you suffer this
" Tye bid him (air, as man can bid—
I've promised him I'd tip,
I've repp'd his knuckles handsomely,
And yet he's cut my lip !"
Then steppl a gallant sportsman forth—
An Auctioneer from town ;
Quoth he " Why stand we bidding here ?
'Tim time he was knocked dawn I"
They clos'd full fast on every side
The King's peace it was broke,
And man a gallant Gentleman
GotliWtylut ugly poke.
And oh ! it was a grief to see,
And likewise for to hear
The strife of men, and 'squires and dogs,
For that poor harmless deer.
They tuu'd, until they all did sweat,
At those barn-doors so stout,
But, ere Squire Berkeley could get in,
His deer Pinap'd lightly out.
Then bidding Baker hang himself,
They mounted, in a crack,
And off they went with wild halloo
Upon the poor deer's track ;
But scarce a mile that deer bad rtm
When it lay down to die,
And yielded up its harmless breath,
Bre ever they came stlik.
And thus Squire Berkely 's dearest deer
Did give his bounds the slip ;
And thus its master kind was ilisb'd
Of sport , as well as lip.
For Baker bold, for trespass done,
From Bakely's purse did draw
An huadted pounds in good money
By process of the law t
Betides some hundreds more, for costs,
Did from his pockets fly.—
Thus ended the busting of Cranford Chace
blade by the Squire Berkely.
Gm save the King, and bless the land,
' In plenty, joy, and pease,
And rant henceforth that such queer sport
'along.; Gentlemen may cease.
