A M i dvionater Day's Drew, : a Poem by EDWIN ATlldnettleit. Foolscap &no. F p. 173. With Picks after designs by Martin. Those who have read The Last Days of Hercula. Main, by the same author, will be led to expect in the present work a full display of the nobler elements of p - oetty, a vivid and powerful imagination, grandeur of imagery, and a nervous energy of expression, nor will they be disappointed. The present Poem presents, per haps, less of the terrible than Mr. Atherstone's former production, but not of the solemn and magnificent. The principal portion of the narrative consists of a vision, in which the poet is conducted, by a spirit, to view the various recesses of nature—to explote the abysses of the deep, the innermost womb of the earth ; to pass through the vast realms of space, visiting un known worlds and their inhabitants. In all this there is fine scope for the fancy, and for description of the most impressive character; and we think that, gigantic as the subje:t is, the author has shewn himself equal to it. Many of his pictures are very forcibly conceived, and delineated with a powerful pen. The opening of the poem contains an animated poetical portraiture of the beauties of nature on a fine midsummer morning, which cannot fail to delight the Reader. The author's description of the destruction of our earth by a comet we shall lay before our Readers, as a specimen of his powers in conceiving and embodying a catas trophe of inconceivable horror : " Yet a time Hath been, in the profound of ages pass'd, When this fair order was disturb'd. The earth Was not then what ye see it now; nor man, Such' as now is, existed then; nor beasts; Nor did the globe bend towards the sun its poles As now ; but yet it held sublimely on The same unerring path along the Heavens. " Then suddenly there came a fiery star, Wandering from out its orbit, masterless. The dwellers of the earth,—they were a race flightier than yours,—look'd nightly on the sky, And their thoughts were troubled : night by night the star Crew brighter, larger ;—waving flames shot out That made the sky appear to shake and quiver. Night after night it grew ;—the stars were quench'd Before its burning presence;—rite moon took A paler-,-and a paler hue :—men climbed Upon the mountains every eve to watch How it arose; and sat upon the ground All night to gaze upon it. The day then Became the time for sleeping; and they woke From feverish rest at evening to look out For the terrific visitor. Night by night It swell'd and brighten'd:—all the firmament Was kindled when it came. The waning moon Had died away ; and, when she should have come Again into the sky, men found her not. Still, still the heaven-fire grew !—there was no night; But to the day succeeded a new day Of strange and terrible splendour. Darkness then Became a luxury; and men would go To caves and subterranean depths to cool Their hot and dazzled eyes. Die beasts of the field Were restless rnd uneasy, knowing not Their hour for slumber: they went up and down Distractedly ; and, as they fed, would stop, And tremble, and look round, as if they fear'd A lurking enemy. The things of prey,— 'Monsters that earth now knows not,—came abroad When the red night-sun had gone down ; for day With its mild light less glar'd upon their eyes Than that fire-flashing termament.—Yet,—yet, With every coming night the terrible star Expanded : men had now nu thought but that : All occupations were laid by :—the earth 'Was left ant ill'd :—the voyagers on the deeps Forsook their ships, and got upon the land To wait the unknown event. O'er all the world Unutterable terror reigned. Men now By thousands, and by tens of thousands, met— . Wond'ring and prophesying. Day and night All habitable regions sent to Heaven Wailing and lamentations and loud prayers. The ethereal shapes that peopled earth, as now, haw with astonishment, but not with fear, This strange disorder;—for the wreck of worlds Injures not them. The spirits of the sun Look'd wondering down, expecting what might come; For right tow ids earth the blazing terror held Its awful course; and all the abyss of space Resounded to the roarings of its fires! " Night after night men still look'd out :—it grew Night after night, faster and faster still. The crimson sky announe'd its terrible consul Long ere it rose; and after it went down Lnok'd red and fiery long. Each night it came Later,--and linger'd later in the morn, Till in the Heavens the sun and it at once— Eastward and westward—shone, with different lights : The sun, as still he shines, ineffably pure; The other of intensest burning red. But one was still the same ;—the other swell'd Each day to a terrific bulk, and grew Dreadfully bright, till the out-blazed sun pale,—and paler,—and at last went out And men knew not when he stoic or set! e The terrible event was then at band : Throughout the day the roarings of its fires Oppress'd all ears ;—and when the fury sank Beneath the horizon, still throughout the night They beard its threatenings ; dying far away Till midnight; then with every hour returning Louder and louder, like advancing thunders Biding upon the tempest ! " Yet once more It rose on earthly eyes. Onesfourth the Heavens Was cover'd by its bulk. Ere it had reach'd Its middle course, the huge ball almost fill'd The sky's circumference;—and anon there was No sky!—naught but that terrible world of fire, Glaring,—and roaring,—and advancing still:" We regret that our limits prevent our giving farther extracts from a Poem which contains niany beautiful passages. The embellishments too of the volume are in the first style. Indeed we might expect from the pencil of Martin, even on the small scale to which the page confines him, something of that gorgeous magni ficence which marks all his con:positions. A wrists' GEN/RAF. BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.-- This most interesting Society celebrated its Tenth Anni. wersary Festival on Tuesday, at the Frzemasons' Tavern. His Royal Highness the Duke of-Yoaa had promised to take the Chair; but being unfortunately prevented by business from attending, his Royal Highness sent an apology, and Sir WILLIAM ELSORD was prevailed upon to preside in his stead. Sir THOMAS LAWRENCE, Mr. SIME, and about 120 other Gentlemen connected with the Arts were present. A number of Ladies were in the gallery. - FATAL BOXING. —Tuesday evening a fight took place under Pile-hill, near Bristol, between two of the work men at a coppersmith's, who had previously quarrelled. After the contest had been continued for some time one of the men fell, and was conveyed home to his house in a state of insensibility. Surgical aid was procured, but in vain, for this unfortunate victim of the brutal practice of busing died in a few holm afterwards. Verdict of the inquest—Manslaughter, FATAL AERIAL EXCURSION. reastufea vsaieseezass es 111 DSIVADIUL Yesterday the neighbourhood of Beddington, near Carshalton, presented a remarkably agitated appear since, in consequence of the shocking accident that hap pened to Mr. Harris, the aeronaut, and Miss Stocks, his companion, on Tuesday afternoon. This lady, who is ap parently about 19 years of age, was one of the casual spectators in the Eagle Tavern Gardens, and offered herself to accompany Mr. Harris, who readily accepted the offer, and they set off on their aerial excursion about half-past four o'clock; and about five o'clock, as An thony Geary, game-keeper to Mrs. Gee, of Beddington park, near'Carshatton, was standing under a tree in that park, he heard a loud rumbling noise, as of thunder, and on lotSking up he saw the balloon rapidly descend. ing. It was then about the height of two trees ; almost instantly it struck against a tree about forty yards from him, carrying away a branch; it was then driving very rapidly in an elongated form, when Geary put down his gun, and laid hcfld'of the car, which was partly covered with the balloon, then nearly emptied of gas. Several other peole came up, and Geary, on lifting up ' a part of the balloon, heard a person moaning, whom he discovered to be Miss Stocks. She asked, in a moan ing voice, " Where anti ?" She was lifted out of the car and laid upon the grass, with her head reclining on' a cushion. Ilse deceased was then discovered in the bottom of the car, quite dead. He was taken out, and Mr. Wallace, a surgeon, of Beddington, was sent for, who promptly attended; but to attempt to restore life in Mr. Willis was useless. Assistance was rendered to the lady, who was carried in a state of inseesiliility to the Plough public-house, at Beddington, and pat to bed. The body of Mr. Harris was also cart ied there, and partially snipped. He had on a blue suit of naval uniform, richly embroidered with gold. Mr. Wallace continued his attentions to Miss Stocks, whom be not yet been able to pronounce out of danger. She is still at the Plough, in the room next to the body of Mr., Harris, of whose death she is perfectly ignorant, fro m the distress and agitation which she was in when I carried from the place where the balloon fell. &foie the Coroner arrived, we were permitted to visit the room where she lies, and she was cautiously interro• gated by a Gentleman who was of the Committee to conduct the ascent, and she said, that after the balloon had got through the clouds, Mr. Harris desired her not to be alarmed, for they wete going to descend; she had not then the least alarm, but she thought Mr. Harris seemed to be alarmed. lie gave her a drop of brandy, and soon afterwards said, " Oh Goo, look out," which so affected her, that she fainted, and remembered nothing further until she was carried to the Plough, where, in the course of an hour, she so far recovered as to answer two or three questions that were put to her; Mr. Harris was formerly mate of an Indiaman, but has lately been a master cabinet-maker, in the neigh bc,urhood of Wells -street, Oxford-road. He ascended some time ago with Mr. Graham. Previously to Mr. Harris taking his seat in the car, he promised that he would descend and return to the Tavern in two hours after his departure. The time was anxiously looked for, and crowds were waiting inside and out to welcome his safe arrival ; hut when the time elapsed, and hours passing and no intelligence whatever arriving of the safety of the adventurers, a gloom seemed to pervade the assemble.' party. However, Mrs. Harris expressed herself satisfied that nothing had befallen her husband. Ten o'clock arrived, when a Gentleman came by express, and gave secret informa tion to Mr. ltossiter, of the death of the intrepid young man. Mr. liossiter kept the intelligence secret from the rest of his friends, and instantly set out in a post-cliaisel to the Plough Inn, at Carshalton. About half-past four yesterday morning, the father of Miss Stocks appeared at the gate of the Eagle, in the City-road, and made anxious inquiries after the fate of his daughter. Some of the Gentlemen bf the Corn , mittee, who were waiting up for the return of those who had gone in a chaise and four to Beddington; to ascer tain the truth or falsehood of the repoit of the fatal event, answered him with proper caution, and be went away to his work (he is a millwright, and lives at No. 14, Henrietta-street, Vinegar-gardens, City-road), ap patently satisfied. He has six other children. At six o'clock one of the Gentlemen drove up to the gate of the Eagle, and jumping from the chaise, was met by the eager inquiries of the Gentlemen waiting ; his feelings overcame him, and bursting into tears, he could only say "It is too true;" and sunk upon a scat. Miss Stocks gives the following account : I ascended the balloon in good spirits, and in consequence of the persons below holding the rope, the car was a little on one side; Mr. Ilarris said be would remedy it, and he threw out some bal. last. In a Maui t time we ascended most rapidly, and we found our selves going through the clouds, which looked like mountains of snow. Mr. Harris asked me to hold the string, and he looked at his watch. He told me that we bad been up a quarter of an hour, and said that he had got two pigeons. Ile then again asked me to hold the string, and then threw out a piece of paper. And, as far as I recollect at this moment, he s.zitl the balloon was falling rapidly., After throwing out *lore ballast we again ascended, and got through another cloud, when I felt myself extremely cold. He said, Dear girl, don't let your heart fail; I hope we shall sup together, and ; wish that you may, for your courage, be connected with my f amily ' as long as you live.' He then said that we were again descending,i and desired me, if the balloon should incline on one side, to lay hold of the other. I heard the balloon go ' clap, clap,' and he said he was afraid the balloon was bursting; at which information I fainted, and remember nothing more till I found myself in bed." It may be here better to give a description of the structure of that important part of the machine (the valve), to the malformation of which the melancholy occurrence is positively attributed. The siae of the valve of the deceased's balloon was three feet live inches in diameter, and when opened to its extremity would have allowed the whole of the gas in the balloon to escape in about a minute and a half. Within the large valve was a smaller one, with two flaps about one font square. The object of this invention was to give the Aeronaut the power of discharging the gas either in large or small quantities, as occasion might require. There was a cord from each valve, and it is believed tharduring the voyage these cords became entangled, and when he pulled the cord :Axed to the inner or small valve, the large valve was forced open to its utmost width, and the greater part of the gas escaped. Mr. Harris did not see the danger of depriving the machine of its buoyancy so suddenly till the mischief was done, and he exclaimed (as far as the young Lady recollects, who was nearly insensible at the tine,)" Geod Goo, protect me !" which were his last words. The valves of Messrs. &Wert, Graham's, and Green's balloons are constructed from 21 to 23 inches in diameter only, which open by the, pull of a cord, the Baps of which work upon a centre hinge ; and it is evident that the deceased was not aware of the ra pidity with which gas would escape through an aperture of between three and four feet in diameter, or he would have seen no necessity for so large a valve. THE INQUEST. At four o'clock, CHARLES Jests( ETT, Esq. the Coroner, arrived at the Plough, from Kingston, and the Jury having been sworn, the following witnesses were ex amined William Sullivan, of No. 6, Hungerford-market, Strand, boot-maker, deposed that on Tuesday after noon, about half-past four o'clock, the deceased as cended in his balloon from the Eagle Tavern, City-road; a Lady, Miss Stocks, ascended with him; witness held ,the balloon by the halyards for four minutes and a half, when the deceased cut the ropes. and ascended ; this rope was attached to the valve; the balloon rose very steadily in a perpendicular direction for some time, and then took a south-westerly course ; after the ropes were cut, he took off his hat and waved it as a signal tbat all was right ; the balloon was allowed by the Gas_Com pany to be the most perfect machine that ever was put into their hands. It remained visible for about ten mi nutes, after which time witness heard nothing of it until he heard Of the accident. As far as witness could per- ceive it, it went in a very steady course. Anthony Geary, gamekeeper to Mrs. Gee, of Bed dington Park, deposed that about five o'clock on Tues day evening, while in the park,he saw the balloon about the height of two trees, or ninety feet; w it ne ss was forty h limb ofa or fifty yardsn oak whichmw h w ere a it s broken fell o ; it al ighted n d then on the balloon and car fell to the ground as it were in a heap ; witness went round to the car, lifted up part of the ballonn, and heard a voice, as if moaning in dis tress, which he found to proceed from a female, whom he took out, laid her on the grass, and assisted in taking Mr. Harris out, several other persons by that time hav in g 'arrived. Mr. Harris appeared to he quite dead ; wit ness got some water and bathed the Lady's temples, and then assisted in bi inging them to the Plough, which is nearly a mile. The Lady asked, " Loan, where am I ?" The deceased's neck was open, and it appeared to be very black. Witness's attention to the balloon was first attracted by a noise resembling thunder at a great distance, which was occasioned by the balloon being in a loose state, and nearly emptied of gas. Witness saw no part of the balloon torn. Mr. John 1t0.... land Wallace, surgeon, of Carshalton, deposed, that between five and six o'clock on Tuesday ,evenin he was called to attend the deceased and the Lady, In lleddington Park, w ho he understood had fallen out of the balloon. Witness saw the Lady first, and found her in a eer y low state, scarcely able to speak, Intl not senselcs• ; there wOs no wound upon her, but she complained of severe pain her back, her stomach, and legs; she did not state how the accident happened. Witness then examined the deceased, who was lying ou the grass dead ; he desired the body to be brought to the Plough, and the extremities to be fomented with hot water ; and he also ordered the Lady to be brought to the same place, where he followed and more minutely examined the deceased ; found a fracture in the breast-bone, and a fracture of two or three of the ribs on the left siie, which wcie sufficient to produce death. Mr. Wallace further stated, that he could not pronounce the Lady entitely out of danger, but there were no bones broken. She was in a little fever. Mr. W. liereill, of Nelson•streot, City-road, stated, that lie was at the commencement of the inflation of! the balloon, which was done with carbonated hydrogen gas, which is created from coal, and is simply clarified smoke. It was introduced through an iron service pipe from the gasometer, a mile and a half from where the inflation took place, viz. the Hackney Gas Company's. Witness considers the injury to have been cati.ted in this manner :—There is a large v,ilve on the top of the bal loon, within which is a smaller one, both of which are used to allow gas to escape, as occasion may require; to those valve: , arc attached lines, leading into the car.— Witness believed there might have been three lines, and was of opinion that the accident arose either from these lines being entangled, or from the inexperience of the deceased ; he was more inclined to think the latter: in deed, at the time the deceased ascended, and for some tithe after, witness considered him deficient in the ma nagement. The valve was a newly constructed one, and this was the first time he had an opportunity of trying it, and the lines becoming entangled, he was un able to extricate himself, not being sufficiently acquainted with the newly-constructed valve. Witness thought' him perfectly capable of managing a balloon in every other respect, but be was unable to manage the new valve. Mr. Sullivan observed, that he examined the balloon afters% Ards, and the lines were then entirely disentan gled : he thoit:.;ht that after the Lady fainted, Mr. Harris, in his great anxiety to reach the eat th to obtain assistance for het, allowed too much gas to escape. Mr. Gr4llarn, the aeronaut, was called, and said that Mr. Kervill had stated what was most probable, for where there was more than one line there was great danger of their being entangled, particularly in destend ing. His opinion was, that the accident arose from the wrong line being pulled, which opened the large valve instead of the small one. Mr. JEMNIETT addressed the Jury, and observed that, from all that bad appeared, there was no doubt it was merely accidental.—The Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death." Mr. Graham, the aeronaut, was present during the examination, and took great interest in the proceedings. He is about to ascend himself in a few days. Mr. Harris's balloon contained upwards of 9,000 cubic feet of gas, and in the car were 1081bs. of ballast, in bags, sofficient, it is presumed. to have prevented this fatal accident, if he had had the presence of mind to throw out all the ballast ; for in that case, the descent would not have been so rapid. He had two carrier pi geons in the car, which were so stunned by the concus sion, that they could not fly when set at liberty. We understand Mr. Harris has left a widow and one child. Miss Stocks has lived, since she was old enough, in service. Her last situation was that of an attendant in the shop of a pastry-cook in Barbican, which she quitted only on Saturday evening last, in consequence of a love affair (not in the smallest degree discreditable to either party). She is said to be rather of a romantic turn of mind. She was 18 years of age in October last. The melancholy intelligence of her husband's death was communicated to Mrs. Harris at eight o'clock yes terday morning. She was deeply afflicted, but became tolerably composed after the first shock. Mr. Harris took paper for the purpose of making me morandums on his voyage, together with a thermo meter and watch, which were found safe. He had made no use of the paper. A placard to the following effect was yesterday morn ing exhibited in the window of the Eagle Tavern: 1 ! We are sorry to announce, that from the opening of the valve.] of the Balloon too greatly, and not being able to close it, the Aero musts were precipitated from a great height Aleut rapidly. Dlr.: Harris was killed on the spot, and the Lady, although much bruised, is alive and sensible. This awful occurrence took place by striking against a tree in Beddington Park, Surrey, on the es tate of Mrs. Gee.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Mr. Richmond was charged with having kept a bill of exchange for 12.51.105. front a Mr. Hale, who gave it to him to get it discounted. Mr. Hale stated that he resides in Wiltshire; that about two months ago he gave the said bill to the prisoner to get it di.tcotylted, and for which the prisoner was to have 251. About a month after he gave him the bill be received :IV. of it ; he requested to have Ire rest, but was put off from day to day. The pristnn-r reves:,l!ct have 151. more for himself. Witness, tired of asking for the m:o e y, told the prisoner to thew him the hill, or give him the mover ; neither of which he ever produced. Witness was introduced to at % by a Mr. Man.field, the acceptor of the hill. The prisoner said that there was an original agreement betwv.n Mr. Hale and him, that if he would put his name on the back of the bill, and run the risk, he was to hare a certain sum ; and Mr. Mile Was to receive a certain sum, and nu more. lle had already r e . ceived 581. and not 351. If Nit-. Hale would return hint his mority, and pay hint all his expenses f s which came to nearly 200, he would give up the bill. Mr. Hale's solicitor said that there was no agreement about this bill, and the prisoner could produce none; his client had only re ceived 354 as he mentioned upon oath. The fact was, that hi; client is laying claim to the property of Sir Matthew Hale, :!‘e famous Judge, and this bill was an accommodation bill, given Lim by Mr. Mansfield, kis client being in want of money to carry on suit. The bill was drawn at six months, and given to the pi koacr to get it discounted. As to his writing his name upon it there was no danger of its being paid, as the acceptor was a man of propaty. The prisoner was committed u:::il he could get bail. HATTON-GARDEN. CNA nor: or Roam:v.— Ye. sterday, /qui Re vry, Esq.

The primmer - at the time was in Mr. Douglas's house, cud on searching him, were found on his person two notes of a thousand ponAds each.; one of three hundred, and a hundred pound note; he immediately took. hint to the watch-house. A Solicitor attended on behalf of ears party. It was urz, - ed on the part of the defendant, that there was a good deal of money transactions between the parties, originati❑g cut of accoanuoslaiion bills, and he conceived he had some claims on coni2laittant.— The prosecutor, after a poi .1;a1 of diszus.sion between the partiiii„ consented not to press the charge n: feloiy, but to have the miner paid into the hands of some respectable banker, until their private accounts were arranged. The parties then retired, with Wiles, the constable (who had the money in his possession since the pteceding evening), to lodge it in a banking-house in Lombard-street. UNION-11AM..
