The melancholy fate of Harris does not appear to have alarmed Mr. Graham, nor the fright and danger of his female compaaion to 'have acted with much sympa thy on the nerves of her own sex. Scarcely is the Co roner's Inquest over on the deceased, and the survivor recovered from her braises and terrors, when the Public is called upon to witrress another ascent of the same kind. The time even seems to have been purposely chosen, when the. event was tecert and public attention a,vake, tr. make this renewed attempt; Mr. Graham andliis friends calculating very justly, that the curio,ity and inten,st which such enterprises excite, are always in pronortion to the hazards which accompany.them, and the holdnes recpired for their execution. The death lot a Meteor in Spain, is always sure to give a fresh zest and to as .errhie a.l2i!haral crowds to the next bull-fight. The tie Si. attem ets of Mr. Graham last year, were rather unsuccessfal: he therefore employed the precautioni which experience has taught to guard against failure on the present occasion. We never saw a more hand.,ome and magnificent balloon, with all its apparatus in a more complete state, and all its previous arrangements better secured dial yesterday. The place fixed upon for the MCCIIt. was the garden of White Conduit-house, near Pentonville. This situation had the advantage or admitting such a considerable number of spectators to have a near view of the aeronautic preparations as must have produced a handsome return to the aerunate, while it permitted all these preparations to go on at lei sure, and the balloon to rise without any obstruction from the surrounding houses. A platform was erected in the mid.2.lc of the gardens by means of planks laid on cask ‘.. To this platform, which was sit:Ficieg to accommodate the aeronaut and all his friends, to geher with the workmen engaged in making the arrpgemerei, the balloon was attached during the prOcesi of inflation, and till the ascent took place Another phtforrn to the right exhibited the car sur• mouned with a rich catiopy, which unluckily was not desti6c.l to grace the ascent. and remained be hind to receive the aerial travellers on their return. fly three o'clock, when we arrived at the gardens, the balloon had been nearly filled, and the number of spec tators assembled was very considerable. The crowd collected outside the inclosure was immense, and re quired a strong detachment of policemen from the dif ferent offices to keep it in order. All the streets and avenues north of the New-road, and leading to the gar dens, were filled with carriages, carts, waggons, and all descriptions of vehicles, supporting a dense mass of spectators. Within the gardens the most perfect order prevailed, and the most qaict and satisfied dispositions were exhibited. The windows and tops of Loases stir rounding the garden, or commanding a vie a: of it, were' tilled with spectatres,and presented the most lively ap pearance. The fineness of the day and the dearness of the atmosphere both added to the scene, and created tke disposition to enjoy it. About four o'clock, Mr. Graham entered the gardens, attended by a nuarber of hig friends, and ascended the platform. The prepare. (ions, which had hitherto been observed with some im patience, uuw proceeded with greater spirit, and by 25 minetes to five the car was attached to the balloon, the net-work properly adjusted sound, and everything pre pared for the a,cent. He had not to recruit on the spot tor a companion, like the late unfortunate aeronaut. He • was accompanied by his wife, who chose to make ►his journey as well as others with her husband. They both appeared to be in as high spirits as if undertaking the jaunt of the huncy (howl. We shall not stop as usual to Oesciihe the.tress of the travellers; it may only he rental ked that th:: babitittA:nts of Mrs. Graham did not seem sufficieutty substantial to protect her from cold in the high and cloudy regions to which she was about to ascend. Her husband, however, who had be- idle made the excursion, was the best judge of the mat ter. At twenty-five minutes past five o'clock, Mr. and Mts. Graham entered the car, and having ordered the thongs which attache,' it to the platform to be loosed, and made their salutations to the company, the balloon began to ascend amid the shouts of the spectators, which were answered by the obeisances arid waving of flags of the aeronauts. Nothing could be conceived more easy, elegant, and graceful, than the launch and upward movement of this immense globe, carrying along with it the car with its intrepid travellers, about to realize one of the striking and incredible fables of anti quity. The balloon was then seen by counties thousands " In the surging smoke Uplifted, spuru the ground ; th uce many a league, As in a cloudy chair ascending, ride Audacious." As there was little wind, the balloon ascended slowly but steadily, inclining gently in a south-westerly direction. Mr. Graham threw ballast out repeatedly in the first ten minutes, in order to promote the rapidity of his asceeu, l The balloon was visible neatly twenty minutes. The balloon used on this occasion seemed to be com pletely new, and is said to he 37 feet in diameter, con• twining when inflated 30,000 cubic feet of air. The gas with which it was charged was supplied by the Imperial Gas Company. The aeronauts descended at Cuckfield, in Sussex, 40 miles from London, at five minutes before seven o'clock, having been exactly one h air and ( 2i) minutes on their voyage. Soon alter starting they got into a dense cloud, which had such an effect on them as almost to prevent then hearin,e, each other talk. They alighted in a field bglonging to Mr. Brown, a farmer, who rendered every a s',istauce. They found thero,elees unable to land earlier on account of the intense heat of the sun, which greatly , expand .d the g as. The slight gloominess at the moment I of asceusiou was unfavoin able to the expansion, and I induced Mr. Graham to throw out all his ballast when over Covent-garden. When lie had attained his highest, elevetion, which was full three miles, he encountered a' great degree of cold. Ile was then anxious to decend, brit managed it with great caution. Ile accordingly pulled the valve line,and after skimming over,as he says, six mites elgr outii, landed on terra firma near Cuckfield. The Aeroaaats experienced great kindness and attention. treat the 111111'114MM, and after taking a slight refresh ment prepared to mutt a to London. The balloon and car were packed on the top of the chaise, without sustaining re., ell injury. The thermometer at a quarter past six was AL : I':!CZiaili, point, and at half-past six so low as 27. They procured a chaise at the King's Head, Cuckfieltl, and arrived in Poland-street at three o'clock this morn• iog, from whence they instantly proceeded to White Coadult-gaideas. The Aeronauts were warmly greeted by a aumerous circle of friends on arriving in London. They appeared in good health and spirits. Mis. Graham, in particular, seemed inech pleased with her aerial excursion, and they both expie:i,ed in warm terms, that they never experienced a more pleasant ascension. One of die priest Jingulat consequences of this ascent has been the postponement of the important discussion in the House of Coal:nous which commenced on Tues- 'day. The connection between the movetents of a bal- loon and th* proceedings.of Pat 'lament, which seems at first•nearly as difficult to he understond as the lac& Tenterden steeple being the clime of (londwin Sands, will be found explained in our PArliainentary Repnit: DESCRiPTION OF TilE BALLOON. The balloon that was so be looked at was certainly unique in its beauty; it was formed of alternate stripes, eighteen inches wide, of . pink and whi te s i ! k , and round the middle was i nserte d a comp l ete cle orcec:u p l a e c a i i r t y lilue; the dimensions of the machine are thirty seven feet in di ameter, and, w i th i ts car, i t stoo d near l y s i xt y f eet chiirgh; its was 49,522 cubic feet; and the car, which was placed near t h e b alloon, was covered and lined wish crimson and silk velvet, hearing nn one side the arms of England, on the r , ..vei se those of the City of London, surrounded by gold rays, and sup ported by doves with the olive 1, nch on each side, encircled a:so with rays of gold.

OLD 1141,1,1;`,---1 Llt.s D.IY. These Ses,ions commenced Eh!. day before k r. Baron the Lunn Mstros, Aldermen, Ste. at .he Justice Hall in the Old lii;ky. Je':i Williams, aged nineteen, stood intlieted for binTlarioualy breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Stephen Anderson, with intent to steal, on the Coth of April. The prosecutor deposed to leaving his house secure on the 20th of April, and on his return finding it had been broken open. John Brown saw the prisoner, who had been disturbed, come out of tile house, and he pursued hint ; a scuffle ensued, in which the witness was dreadfully cut with a crow bar, he however held hint until the watchmen came up. The watchhouse•keeper of Chelsea, went to the prisoner's lodgings, and found a quantity of implements for house-breaking which had been left behind, and alto a handkerchief which the pri soner owned. Mr. Baron Iforx.ocz summed up the evidence to the Jury, who found the prisoner thalty—lkailt. There arc 276 prisoners for trial, amongst whom there are seven for publishing blasphemous libels, eight for burglary, and four for highway robbery. William Inibloell and Hcnry Extras were indicted for breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Missrs. Christian and Son, linen-drapers, in the Strand. Mr. Law took an objection to the indictment, the elder Mr., Christian residing in the country, and the house being the dwelling of the son only. This was allowed to be a good objection, on be half of the prisoner, and rendered that part of the indictment void. The goods stolen were also described as six silk handkerchiefs in the indictment, but they were in one entire piece. To this Mr. Law also objected as incorrect. The piece was shewn, and a sepa ration appeared marked for the scissors on the piece, though no se verance, and they were charged to the vendor by the maker as so , many handkerchief., and nut by the piece, although in the shop they are called a piece. The Learned Judge desired the came to proceed. The ptisoners were seized at the shop window, and one of them dropped the piece ' of handkerchief, which had been taken through a cut pane of glass. They had been previously watched by an opposite neighbour, who saw them go away from, and return to the shop, and finally assisted in securing them with a Police officer, to whom they were no strangers. A nrooked wiry was discovered on the person of Knihweil, calculated for drawing anything out of a window. The prisoners denied any knowledge of each other: one witness gave Yearns a good character. The Jenny, in summing up, admitted the validity of the first oh jectiun, and had no doubt but the prisoners stole a piece of silk handkerchiefs, which being the joint property of the prosecutors, subrnit:ed the prisoners to conviction. The question on the point of lay:, whether the handkerchiefs had beet , properly described in the inilic.ment, must hea subject for further consideration. Ver dict, Guilty against both.—.Tudgment respited. Mary Smith was indicted for stealing several articles of wearing apparel, the property of James Walker, a cabinet-maker, from his I lodgings. The articles were traced to her possession, and were valued at £3, as the prosecutor said they could not be replaced fur that sum ; a pawnbroker had lent thirty shillings upon them. The prisoner said the things had been given to her by a young man in Fleet packet.—Guilty of stealing undo. 40;. which saves the C.I• pital ofi-ence. 1 . , ••••,••••••Ir BEFORE THE RECORDER, IN THE NEW COURT. This morning, after so many delays, the New Crimiital Contt, in the Old Bailey, was opened in due form, by the lis:coanxit of London, Sheriffs, several Aldermen, and City Officers, at nine o'clock. The Middlesex Jury being sworn in, the prisoners were arraigned, and the Court proceeded to trial. Williams Thinks was indicted for stealing (rem the person of Jahn Morris, a silk h.ndkerchief, his property. The osse was fully proved against him, and the Jury found him Gifiky. Cromer, who with his wife, stood indicted for stealin; a clock and other property, belonging to Thomas Mahon, in the Air , Sessions, was put to the bar. The property was sy.orn tif be litylrid the value of 40a. and the witnesses having clearly proved the ca.c against him, the Jury found him Guilty—Death. In the evening the London Jury are suninv.o.d to attend at fig.,: o'clock; according to this arrangement two for 3iiddiesex and tts for London will be doing busine s s at the same time, which will shorten the Sessions considerably.

Foieigners have resorted to it who h.td never been seen there before. Among zliece were several merchants from 'rifles, in Georgia. Large quantities of linen were required by some Colombians, who attended the fair in person. At the ringing match which took place on Hurst Church bells, on Wednesday last, the prize of six new hats was won by the youths of Binfield, Berks, beating those of Alortinkr, WinkfieW, and Reading, in a quarter of an hour's peal of round ringing.

Ac the base of each triple leaf is a small beautifully wrought button, which has an adinirable effect. The sleeves are full, and wound round the arm with satin rouleaux, which take from the fulness of the sleeve, and impart to it a rich finishing; the mancherons correspond with the trimming down the sides.— A whimsical border finishes this dress round the skirt; it is of pink satin, ornamented iu medallions of white satin, edged round with a light grey pluche de sole, a broader row of which trimming finishes the border at the top and at the bottom next the hem, which is re lieved by a rouleau of satin, the same colour as the pluche de sole. The collar of this pelisse is iti the pagoda form. ,with Chinese bell tassels depending from the points. The spring bonnet worn with this dress is small and very htcoming; under it isia lace fichu, elegantly disposed on the hair, so as to look like a cap ; the bonnet is of white gros de Naples, lined with pink, and crowned with a bouquet of pink fancy flowers. The half-boots are of black satin, the gloves of lemon-coloured kid, with a parasol of light willow-green. Darss.— Dress of tulle civet - picks trimmed at the bora titr with etickerings of figured tulle, or richly figured gatize, sepa rated by roulcaux of pink satin, slightly interspersed with full-blown roses, branches of palm, and bows of pink satin ribbon. The body formed of alternate stripes of pink and white satin ; the pink stripe■ beautifully indented, *inch imparts a striking and novel effect to the corsage. The sleeves are of pink satin, short and full, with blond lace falling over the top, and finished on the outside of the arm next the elbow, by a simple bow of pink satin, and a quilling of blond round t h e arm. The hair is arranged in fuU curls, but sitting very close to the head, and short at the ears ; the larger curls ' on the summit are separated fram the hair in front by a diadem comb, very narrow, and very little ornamented ; on each side of the head are placed full blown roses. Ear-rings of Turquoise stones ' and a necklace of one row of rare and valuable large pearls finish this littbt and appropriate dress for the ball-room. —From La Belk Assetaidde. SPORTING I AVI ELL ENCE. EPSOM RACESWEDNESDAT, JIVE 2. The annual pleasurable spoits of the Downs commenced this day, and the different races were closely run, finely contested, and pro duced the expected gratification. As usual on a first day the com pany was by no means numerous or select, but yet there was a to lerable sprinkling of beauty and fashion. The light-fingered gentry were on the alert, and several trifling pilfering transactions took place. Au accident occurreri, which at first created some alarm— young Buckle (a pupil and nephew of the celebrated jockey of that name) who rode Mr. Gothiard's horse Presentiment; on passing the Stand on coining home for the Coll Cup, was so pressed by the crowd that his horse ran . agaitist soinepersons and was thrown down; . the youth, who for a s oth time was under his horse, was taken up seemingly dead, and carried to the Judges' Stand, where be was soon attended by medical men, who pronounced him not danger ousiy hurt, tire being no fractures. . Tue Derby still continues to be the leading source of attraction; and if its interest this year he diminished in one reepect, by the cir cumstance that none of the horses which are to run for it possess i very eminent character, it is enhanced on the other band, in a much greater degree, by the ignorauce pi eVailiiig a mongst the knowing ores as to the relative powers of several of the horses that are en tered, which has caused a more extensive variety of speculation's than usual amongst the betting folks. Indeed, it is almoit Mapes itate to say which is the favourite for two hours together. The Jesse cult, Elephant, Reformer, and Cedric, hold the foremost places; bur the backers of none of them are very sanguine of suc cess. The odds against these tour vary front 3t07c0 I.

Burgundy, however, hieing tasted the whip, soon came alongside of Scandal, and forct.l her to participate with him in that pleasure. For the rest fit the way they kept so closely abreast that it was impossible to say which had the advantage, un til they reached the winning-post, when the filly was declared the winner by half a neck.
