and wherever he has been exhibited thousands
Of persons have eagerly hocked 10 see him.
Yesterday he was TO arrive in Birnine ham,
where magnificent private carriage, built ex-
pressy for him, will meet him. Al the invita-
ton Of Mr.. Barnum, | went to Mr.. Beaton's,
in Denmark street, 20 examine the superb
hand-work, which is certainly unequaed in
this country. The body OF this chariot is only
twenty inches 10 height, and eleven inches in
width. The top Of The carriage is but three
feet and hall from the ground. II is lined
with beautiful silk tabaret end drab and GRIM
son silk lace. There are plate glass windows,
besides, neat outer blinds and inner silk cur
tains, with tassels, move at pleasure BY patent
spring rollers. The cushions and sides are
stuffed in the most luxurious manner, and the
little General can truly take his ease with no
one 10 disturb him, for certainly nothing but a
tiny pet spaniel could possibly ride inside with
the General, and this pet dog is, ! believe, iu
have the exclusive privilege. The handle OF
the door is OF solid silver, deliberately chased

carpet, and lamps Of exquisite workmanship.

them at the Indian enrampmeDt, al Lords
CTicket-grounds, on Friday last, harnessed 10
the chariot, and driven by the Generals own
coachman, and they were great curiosity of
themselves, aud attracted much attention. -
They are not much larger than Newfound-
land dog, yet they are very strong, lull-blooded,
and oil iine proportions. The Court of Oberon
has furnished The coachman ard iootman, for
they are very diminuiive in size. They are
smart lads, dressed in subetb livery oil blue
cloth, decorated with silver lace, having bag
wigs, cocked-hais, whiie-top boots, etc, in the
neaiest and richest style. Altogether, the
whole affair is the most splendid sho,r, of itself
that has ever been 20, up ia the metropolis
The total cost Of the chariot, harness and po-
nirs, is not less than two thousand dollars.
