, . MR. GRAHAM'S ASCENT PROM BATH. BATH, AMY 19. On the evening of Friday, Mr. Graham made his pro irked ascent with his balloon from Sydney Gardens. — The evening was beautiful, and the crowds collected on the adjacent hills were immense. The company within , the gardens was but small, which is nsuch to be re gretted, as Mr. Graham generously ascended for the benefit of the Bath General Hospital. There were a great number of Ladies in gay equipages waiting near the place of ascent. Die scene within was gay and pleasing beyond de scription. Two bands of music were playing—small cannon were fired at intervals—and, to give variety to the entertainments, the celebrated 11 Diavolo Antonio displayed his extraordinary feats on the slack-rope. In the course of the afternoon a young Gentleman offered 20 guineas to ascend with Mr. Graham ; but that ho nour (though, perhaps, few would consider it as 'such) was reserved for a Mr. Adams, of London. Mr. Graham has very obligingly favoured us with the following account of the excursion : "At half-past six we rose with considerable rapidity horn the earth, and when we had attained a good ele vation the view was magnificent and striking beyond all description. One object on the earth attracted our at tention soon afterwards. This object presented the ap pearance of a crawling animal, something like a crab, and afforded considerable merriment both to Mr; Adams and myself. This extraordinary phenomenon I have since ascertained to have been nothing less than a horse with a man on his back ! We floated on an equilibrium for some time, and then began to ascend. Oar highest altitude was about thr ee miles; bat the barometer hav ing received some injury, I cannot without further exa mination determine the exact state of the atmosphere. The gas did not expand a great deal. After remaining in the air almost an hour and a half, we began to think of descending, and I opened the valve for that purpose. As we approached-terra firma, however, it appeared very woody ; therefore we threw out ballast (601bs. of which we took out with us), and continued to float along at a moderate height. After doing so for twenty minutes,:we descended, at a goat ter betoreeight, between two wood's, near ltanibury, Berks, forty-six miles from Bath, in perfect safety. The place of descent was quite private, and consequently we had considerable difficulty in finding our way. Having packed up the machine, and procured a conveyance, we set off, and arrived at Sydney Hotel, Bath, at eight o'clock next morning." DUNDEE, JULY 18. Stobsmuir Fair, whic washeld on Thursday last, was attended with many of those scenes of drunkenness and riot which are the usual accompaniments of fairs held in the immediate vicinity of populous towns. Two young men of the name of Allan, masons, employed at Duntrune, but usually residing here, after conclud ing their labours for the day went to the fair, and after leaving it, on passing the toll, they proposed going in to wait for some of their companions, whom they ex pected to pass that way. Not being admitted into the toll-house, they bad turned to go away, when they were violently assailed whit bludgeons and other deadly weapons, by a party of ruffians who had been en gaged in a previous scuffle in the malice, and either mistook them for some of the persons with whom they hai formerly differed, or attacked them from a sheer desire of mischief. John Allan was the object of their most deadly blows, which were repeated with such fiendish violence, that he sunk down a victim to their barbarity, and almost instantly expired. Not content with this, they now directed their infuriated blows against the other brother, who likewise sunk under their vengeance. The body of the unfortunate man was brought to town at an early hour next morning ; his sober and exemplary habits had endeared him to many fiiends and acquaintances, and his melancholy fate is justly and sincerely regretted. lie was a young man, and is said to have been unmarried.

Lord BYRON's mother was a lineal descendant of Lady JApa &roars., daughter of King JAMES 1. of Scotland. •An infernal machine has been discovered in the Com mune of Laroqua, a department of the Arriege, in France, containing a great quantity of gunpowder. It seems it was destined for the destruction of a country house of that commune, by explosion. The owner and the inhabitants of the house must necessarily have pe rished. Justice is in pursuit Of the guilty. The young Gentleman downed in Loch Catrane,27th June, turns out to be a Mr. J. 11. IYICIESTEED, son of, J. WICKSTEED, Esq. of Shiewsbury.

C RIM. C0N...-44 4 0011AN V. MITCHELL. The damages were laid at 3,0001. Mr. Wattace offered to withdraw a Juror, which was not agreed to. Mr. HAMILTON stated the case. This was ari action to recover damages for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife. The parties moved in a humble but respectable line of life, in Which an evil of this bind was of a more severe nature than in higher ranks, whet e the wealth of the parties, the dissolltion of the matri monial tie, and the probable formation of a new con. nubial contract, present remedies whith in this class of society could not be looked for. The plaintiff, eatly in life, was married to a young lady, Henrietta Tuke, the daughter of a professor of music, one of the Vicars Choral of this city, who dying, left his family in corn. fortable circumstances ; when she was sixteen, plaintiff married Miss Tuke, at her mother's house , in Hard wicke-street. The parties were married by the Rev. Moore Morgan, in 1809. Mr. M'Gowan obtained 500/. with her on that occasion, and commenced trading as a wine-merchant For some time they lived upon the happiest terms s three children were the issue of the marriage; Mr. M'Gowan failed in business, but the embarrassments which ensued did not seem to lessen their happiness. Anxious to obtain the means of sup port for his wife and children, Mr. M'Gowan became the concluding clerk in a Solicitor's office, which office he has continued to fill from the moment of his failure to the present time. A Major Blake had occasion to send a commission for the etamination of witnesses to the West Indies; the plaintiff was sent on that bosineis., Plaintiff and defendant were intimate, and on visiting terms; but previously to his departure for the West Indies not the slightest improper intercourse took place between him and Mrs. M'Gowan. The defendant holds an employment in the Post-office, where the salaries are progressive; on going abtoad the plaintiff placed his wife in the care of most respectable friends and rela tives; he left with her a sum of money fully adequate to her and her children's support during his absence ; Mrs. M'Gowan lived therefore with her sister. Shortly after the plaintiff's departure, defendant paid close at tention to his friend's wife, and not only prevailed over her virtue, but obtained from time to time considerable sums of money for his own expenses. He (Mr. Hamil ton) would shew, if rightly instructed, that a criminal intercourse had taken place between the parties during Mr. M'Gowan's absence. Early in December,lB2o, plain. tiff had no reason to suspect his wife, but found her, as he supposed, pure, chaste, and virtuous; he had the greatest confidence in her.- - --he trusted her with the management of his pecuniary affairs—he entrusted her on his return with a sum of money for the payment of a particular debt, which she omitted to diicharge ; and, if he was rightly instructed, she gave the money to her paramour. The consequence of which was, that in 1821, Mr. M'Gowan was arrested ana thrown in prison. While in confinement (for twelve months) nis wife - was at Richmond, near Dublin, in lodgings, where the cri minal intercourse was continued. Mr. M'Gowan sur prised the defendant and his wife in a critical situation; they both denied that any crime had been committed, and took each an oath to affirm their assertion. Lovers vows were soon broken, and in June, 1828, the Lady left her husband's lodgings, and went off with the de fendant, leaving her three children, and cohabited with defendant in several places. These were the facts of the ease. Mr: Hamilton said he called on the Jury to con skier the treachery of the defendant, and the injury offered to the plaintiff*, in depriving him of every do mestic comfort. No pecuniary compensation could make him amends, for he never could be separated. from this woman, but must end his dayi a widoseer who had a wife living—that wife a disgrace to his chil dren and to himself. The evidence adduced on the part of the plaintiff fully sustained the statement. It was a case of great aggravation. The Learned JUDGE charged the Jury, who found a verdict for the plaintiff -2001. damages, and 6d. costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE: .- r• v.... • • BOW-STRIZET. lobo Crepois and W. Richardson, a pair of dusty, weather-beaten, fustian-jacketed teacart, and W. NiCke/sun a youngster of the same breed, were brought befoie blisisitin:lgYesterday morning, under the surveillance of the veteran Tow and John Ander ' son. ontrof the horse patrol. The prisoners are what .doeittresa would call " snappers up of tunconsideted trines" s--fellows who wander about among farms and Villages with a light cart and borse;picking up any odd thing that fortune relay place in their way, which pillage they with merry march bring home to London. It appeared by the evidence. that they have been observed for se veral days past lurking about the neighbourhood of Slough, Dray ton, and other places, on the borders Of the Great Western Road. From several of these ces articles of trilling value have during that time been - of—some from out-olfices, and some front in-doors. At length a Gentleman at Drayton, who missed a bronze candlestick from his fatiour mantle-piece, got into his gig and went in search of them. On his way be tool up Anderson. the patrol ; and at SmaUberry-green, they overtook the three prisoners com fortably jogging towards town with their cart-load of plunder. Anderson immediately proceeded to take them into custody ; but they made such a determined resistance, that had he not been as sisted by several persons accidentally passing at the time, he would not have been able to accomplish it. Gregson, in particular, seemed resolved not to be taken • and in his attempt to get away, he dragg ed Anderson, who had hold-of him, and who is a man of light weight, a distance of more than forty yards along .the road ; at the same time threatening, that if he did nut louse his hold, he would stick a knife into him. Anderson held on, however, and eventually they were all handcuffed and brought to town in their own cart ; the contents of which were now produced before the Magistrate. There were carpets of several sorts and sizes ; pieces of old Boor-cloth, new and old corn-sacks, a couple of saddles, a portable desk, besides many other odd nutters, and the identical bronze candlestick above mentioned. A very complete set of skeleton keys was found on the prisoner Gregson ; and ou his companion Richardson there was found a bundle of phosphorus matches, candle ends, acc... Several Country Gentlemen attended, and identified some parts of the property, and the prisoners, who were described by Towns end as very old offenders, were committed for further ezarninatic.. on Friday next. GUILDHALL. Thomas Binlort, a yaath of twelve years of age, was charged under Mr. Martin's Act, with cruelty to a horse. Charles Wheeler deposed, that the cruelty exercised to the horses for sale on Fridays, in Smithfield, by the furious manner in which they are rode up and down, to the great danger of those passing through the market, has become so great a nuisance, as to call for the intervention of the police. On Friday he was on duty there, when he saw the prisoner riding a horse furiously up and down, and beating the animal between the head and ears with a stick, at the same thne using the spurs with such force, as to cause the blood to flow from the sides of the poor animal, so much so, that the boots and spurs of the prisoner were literally covered with blood ; thinking this a proper case to bring before a Magistrate, he ordered an officer to take him into custody. At the Compter, the officers there remarked the state the boots and spurs of the prisoner were in from the blood. The prisoner stated that the horse was his father's, and that he had him in the market for sale, and that at the time Wheeler took him Into custody, he was only skewing the horse to a person, who, for that purpose, desired him to ride him up and down quickly; he only touched him with the spur. " Yes," said the Alderman, " and that with all your force." The stick and spurs, the la tter completely covered with blood, were here produced. The father of the boy denied the case altogether, and said his child was 4aeApable of the cruelty attributed to him, and to prove be did not injure the horse, he bad brought him for the inspection of the Alderman. This the Alderman declined doing, and said that the case was so clearly proved, that, to prevent such cruel practices, it only re mained foe hies to enforce the penalty, but In consid eration of the boy's age, be would mitigate it from XS to 10e. and the expenses, which being paid, the boy was discharged. H Al"ION-G A R DEN. Boestway AND Rosszay.—.Yeass lionifacr, a respectable looking young man, was brought up in the custody of Fagan and Cadby, constables, charged with burglariously breaking into the stable of J. Rew, of Brunswick-square, Esq. and stealing therefrom a box-coat, value 51. a pair of breeches, and other articles of wearing apparel, the property of Mr. Rew, but were for the use of his couffienan. The °Mere stated, that on hearing of the robbery therms& dili gent inquiry for the stolen property amongst the adgbbeesitig pawnbrokers and clothes sale-shops, and at length apeuended in finding them exposed for sale at en old clothes shop in Mimmoutig street ; and from the description they received of the person who saki them, they were induced to suspect the prisoner, where, after coesiderable difficulty, they apprehended at two o'clock that morn ing at a house in Plummer-street, Utrroad. The coachman identified the clothes produced as his master's pro perty, and what were stolen. The clothes-salesman identified the prisoner to be the man of whom he bought them. The prisoner declined making any defence, and he was fully committed to New gate for trial. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JULY 19. THE KING V. LORD GEO.HENRY AUGUSTUS CAVENDISH. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated, that this was an in formation filed by the King's Attorney-General, which charged that the defendant was indebted to the Crown in the sum of 2,8381.35. Bd. for money had and re ceived. The defendant pleaded, that he was not in debted to the King in such sum, or any part of it. The information was filed against the noble defendant in his character of Colonel of the Derbyshire Militia. He wished to be distinctly understood at the outset, that there was not the slightest pretence for supposing that the defendant was actuated by any motives of personal profit and advantage. The case proceeded on the broad basis established by an Act of Parliament (the 42d of Geo. 111.) that a Colonel of a Regiment was responsible for the conduct of his Agent ; and if the Agent would not settle his accounts with the War Office, the Colonel must. There was no hardship, as at first might appear, in calling upon the Colonel of a Regiment to make good the defalcations of his Agent ; because it was the usual practice for an Colonels to obtain sureties from their Agents to secure them against any loss. If, there fore any Colonel chose to neglect that proper precau tion; he must suffer the consequences of his own negli gence. The balance which the War Office claimed was to be struck upon accounts extending from 1797 to 1806. The Agent of the defendant, from 1797 to 1803. was a person named Snowden ; from 1808 to 1806, a person named Whitmarsh became a partner and joint Agent with Mr. Snowden, who had since died. Several Clerks in the War Office proved that upon an investigation of the accounts furnished by Messrs. Snow den and Whitmarsh, in 1806, as agents of Lord Caven dish, there appeared to be a balance in favour of the, War Office to a great amount. It was the practice for agents to draw certain sums monthly at the War Office, l for the service of the different corps for which they acted, and to furnish accounts to shew the manner in which the money thus drawn was disposed of. Mr. Ilaovonam, on the part of the defendant, com plained that the case of his client was one of great hardship. He had not been informed of the defalca tion of his agent until 1815, when Snowden was dead. He was then called on to satisfy a claim which it was admitted had existed for nine years before. It was a suspicious circumstance, that the Crown should lie by for so long a period, and it ought to induce the Jury to give every presumption in favour of the defendant. No proof had been given of any demand made by the War Office and refused by the agents of the - defendant, and no proof that the agents had even admitted the claim. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a -ver dict for the Crown—Damages, 2,838/. Ss. Bd. The late Baron Wool) is supposed to have died wotth nearly 300,0001. UNION HALL Yesterday, a man named Andrew Legit was brought before R. J. CHAIIIIIRS, Esq. charged with having malitionsly (et fire to a house, situate No. 24, Salisbri-plice, llerwitivf/aby. _ Anne Walker stated chit siti lives with tier father add mother in the above house, and the prisoner lodged in the front garret. On Wednesday morning last the prisoner came down stairs about nine o'clock, and asked her mother if the are was at leisure ? Her mo ther replied that it was, and chaired him to take his breakfast (which he usually did with them), and bring down his saucepan; he went up stairs and brought down his saucepan, into which he had his tea for breakfast put. There was no grate in the fire-place in the room he occupied. In about a quarter of arr hour after he had taken ep his breakfast, he brought down a candle and lighted it, and took it up stain ; and *beet ten o'clock witness went out of the house to shut the gate, when the next-door neighbour asked her if there was any fire up stairs /- She replied there was not; however, on looking up to the garret window she saw a smoke Issuing aut. She concluded It was the steam proceeding from the saucepan which the prisoner was using. She then went into the house and found the saucepan in the parlour. She berried op to the prisoner's apart anent, and found it so full of smoke that she could net go in. She then ran down stairs for the purpose of getting water and calling for assistance, when several persons entered, who by their exertions quenched the flames, which were rapidly communicating to the furniture. During this time the prisoner left the house. On exa mining the room, after the fire was put out, she discovered that the prisoner bad removed his Sunday clothes, and left nothing in the room but a bundle of rags. After further evidence in corroboration of the above, the prisoner was fully committed for trial. M A R Ll3O HOU G H-STREET. A person having something of the appearance of a Gentleman, who gave his name Thomas William &Mlle, was yesterday brought from St. George's watch-home, charged with a desperate assault. Elizabeth Ilill, a female of fashionable appearance, stated, that she was returning from Vauxhall Gardens between two and three o'clock that morning, walking with Mr. Rose, a Gentleman now present, and, as they passed along Piccadilly, near Park-lane, the defendant, who was walking the same way, came up, and, in the most wanton manner, shoved her off toe pavement ; and, on her asking him what be did that for, struck her a desperate blow on the eyc, and knocked her down. On Mr. Rose interfering, be was knocked down also. Mr. Thomas Melville Rose said, that, in con sequence of the defendant's wantonly insulting Miss Hill, he remon strated with him on his unmanly conduct; but he bad scarcely spoken when the defendant knocked him down, and, on his rising, repeated the assault witk the same violence three times, without tie slightest provocation. A watchman was then procur ed, and the defendant taken to the watch-house. The defendant acknowledged the assault on Mr. Rose, but denied having struck the female. Mr. CONANT ordered the defendant to find bail for the assault on Mr. Rose, which appeared to be a most unprovoked one ; and told Miss Hill that she might indict hint at the same time. M A RY-LA-BONNE. T. Shortland, a butcher, in Norton-street, Middlesex Hospital, PM charged with obstructing the Annoyance Jury. Finding his scales defective, they ordered the beadle to destroy them, when he seized a knife, and threatened destruction to all who approached. His defence consisted of gross vituperation, and he was committed in default of paying a fin; of 40$. and costs. At tte end cflast month a large ship of Altona (the George Frederick) sailed front the Elbe,with 450 German Colonists for Brazil. The Caroline, which sailed from llamburgb in January, with .130 Colonists, arrived at ltiu de Janeiro in April. It is surprisi►:g and lastwatable that after the repeated warnings both front private persons arid Consuls in Brazil, there should still be Germans who will suffer themselves to be seduced by interested speculators to leave their own country, on promises of immense *advantages, which have been so repeatedly proved to be vain.—Eionifirt roper. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, JULY 20. • • CA22 Off MIL OOLIRLAT. Yesterday morning Mt. MAULS, the Solicitor to the' Treasury, was in attendance, and had a long conference with the Chairman respecting the above Gentlem.ir, who was brought from the House of Correction to apply for his discharge. On his entering the Court, he handed a paper to the Chairman. The CH !el.! AX, having read it, said (tddressing Mr. Gourlay), this paper, like the one befoie ptdented, is of no avail.

SINGULAR PHRKONENON.--FULDA, JOLT I.—A re• inarkable event took place on the 2nd of last month, at the foot the Vogil mountain. The villages of Greed, Zen, and °then, were overflowed in the night by a vast quantity of water, to that the inhabitants had no doubt that a water.spont had burst on the mountain. It had, indeed, rained hard in the night, but not so as to produce such a flood, which besides continued, though gradually decreasing, for several days, without any further rain. On farther investigation into the cause of this phenomenon, it wrs discovered that on the llimmelsberg and the wooded environs se veral considerable springs had issued from the earth aid caused the fkod. These springs have issued from places where there never way any appearance of water before; and some of them 'tin conthr to issue from the ground ha copious streams.
