A large party of the Nobility, who were liftening to the dulcet melody of BRAMAN and STORACE at the Theatre, retired to Welcome his Royal Highnefs, as foon as his arrival 4ras known. Than Jail night the Theatre was never more brilliantly. filled. Not a feat could be obtained after eight o'clock ; the lobbies, the pit, the gallery, in [bort, every part where a human being could pcdfibly gain admit - Pion, was crhmtned almoft to fuffocation. Many obtained not a fight of the tinge the whole even ing ; the faculty of hearing, however, could not be taken from them, and which was amply grad. fled by the fcientiflc tide of harmony which filled the moft remote corners of the houfe.

Mt etem's aerial excurfion fr©m Bath. The follow- ing are Tome further authentic particulars : After having accommodated the public with the opporttinity of admiring the procefs of filling the balloon, M. GARNERIX entered the car with Mr. GLASSFIiRD (who had accompanied him from Vauxhall) and gave them a moil unexpeeted treat by an aereal excurfion along the centre walk of the garden; and refuming his original nation he twice made the circle of the rotunda, faluting the com pany, who appeared anxioufly interefled for him. About half after five he rote with a gentle breeze from the N. E. amidft the acclamations of thou-, lands of (praetors, whole admirations were re- I echoed by millions crowding the neighbouring hills: Upon his afcent the barometer was 3o deg. and the thermometer 62. ro. ; when his feelings were fen fibly affected by the tears of intereft which trickled from the eyes of the fair, and were only relieved by the beautiful and piaurefque fcenes that deve loped as he role majeftically to purfue hit voyage. Monf. Goma tie and Mr. GLASS FOLD, his faith. ful and valued companion, were enjoying the plea fures of their fituation, when, at so minutes pall five, they were affected by the cold, and obferved the thermometer at 52, a difference of so deg. fence they had left the ground. The baronleter was funk to 26, which gave an elevation of 3420 feet. At this height an immenfe horizon prefented itfelf to their view, which inclofed a moft delight. ful country in miniature : on the right of which they diftinaly perceived the lea, .in which the fet ting fun reflex ed its beams as from an immenfe looking glafs. After being enraptured with the fublimity of this fcene till 12 minutes paft fix, they experienced a Rill greater degree of cold, the ther mometer having funk to 46, which made an alte ration of 16 degrees in the temperature. The barometer had rifen but one tenth, which indicated that they had only neared the earth 76 feet. Monf. GARN sass afcribed thi's intenfe degree of cold to a thick dark cloud which floated over the balloon, which Mr. GLASSFORD was defirous to pars, but was oppofed by Mont GAILHARIN, who, thinking it was electric, did not approve to rifk the danger, and meet the fate of Icarus. They neverthelefs approached it in Tome degree, when the thermo meter remained the fame, but the barometer fell 251 inches, which gave the height of 3620 feet ! In this fituation the inflammable air was confi derably dilated, and the balloon swelled in propor. -tion. They were involved in vapour, and in this fituation the thermometer funk three degrees, and Rood at 43 ; the barometer had funk 241, and gave an addition of 874 feet to their former elevation. They were in the heart of a cloud which M. Gat ti:arm thought to be highly charged with electric Matter, the balloon being completely dilated feem2 ed to indicate that the leaft greater elevation would haiv occafioned it to burg by the rarefaCtion of the atmorphere, and finding . the neccinq of being clif • ..ed from this fituation, he opened one of the r appendages, which adting eXpeditionfly iii condert . itith the upper valve, at 40 minutes pelt fix, the thermometer funk to 41, but the barome ter role to 24. M. Galin aRI effimated the thick. nes of the cloud at ro3t feet : from the obferva.' don of the thetmometer it should appear that itfl bate was much more condenfed than the upper part,'l for the cold wasfo fevere as to oblige them to wrapl themfelves in their great coats, u the thermometer was within four degrees of the freezing point. At . 52 minutes after.fix the thermometer rote to 46, aad the barometer fbnk to 29i when they judged themfelves to be 874 feet fromithe.earth, and were amufing themfelves over the woods, which alarm ed the feathered choir, with whom they appeared tee elifpnte the element. M. GAAWILIN now propored to Mr. Gtasstoati &alight in a meadow which he perceived as eligi ble to the occafion, when he Paid, « Nes, non, Um beet i" in compliance with which M. a r T i attlx immediately threw out twenty pounds ballaD, and attended with extreme rapidity, in a rpiralline. At so minutes after fix they bad palled through feveral clouds, the thermometer fall ing to 40, and the barometer to 241; having fur mounted them all they were now cheered by the rays of theletting fun. At 59 minutespa fix they found the thermometer had fallen to 36, and the barometer to 23 1, which leaves the eftimated height at Soso feet. The inflammable air having ctoriflderbly dilated, M. GARIIIRIN prepared to dercend r which he.effeaed at 20 minutes pall feven, and was greeted by the Moll friendly affittince and welcome of a great concourfe of,peoplei who were anxioufly waiting his arrival, when he alighted in a field near Mells Park, the ',feat of THOMAS HORNIR, Efq. ; diftant fixteen 'miles from Bath. While he pays a tribute of equal gratitude to all who were deeply interefted for his fuccefs, he feels particularly indebted to the diftinguilhed favour of Admiral &rumors, who watched; and followed with attention, the whole . prodefg of filling the Balloon, to Sir J.C.: HIPPISLEY ' But. Lieut. Colonel Hottest, Mars. J. Lzwis,Wm. ',ALAND, RICH. PAM, THO. TARSANT; J. Qasas, and 5. CHOCK ga, land-Purveyor, of Frome. ADDITIOTAL' OTC UMSTAIICIS Or TM II ASCIIKT MOM BATH. As half paft eleven they began to fill the bal loob,-.and at 4 P.M. it wai‘completelrready to egad. At half pall five: the Nl6on Boated, and fit Ernie time hovered' over thn Garden, being prevented from a higheielitatioftby . ropes. The wind below was North Weft, and' would have carried the Travellers towards' the file of Wight ; but before they had rifen much above the neigh. bouring hills, the current of air was found to be at right angles to that beloW, and blew nearly from Eaft North Eaft. This carried the Balloon down parallel to the left .border of the Briftol Channel; and the proitimity of the water was one reafon for not afcending to the height which the Aeronauts otherwife might have done. The two Travellers were very impatient to rife higher, and waited till the wind fet in a little more from the North, when the Balloon was carried farther to wards the interior of the country. In K. GARK ERIN'S account the calculation of tf.e . . an elaQie fluid, weighs lets And lets every hair's bl-etidiff that the barotneter fills f fo much foi !that at the altktpae of . t 9 miles, the barometer would not fink Above one-tenth of an inch in the tiling cf. The . report, belldes, has h.en written in great hallei as they number degrar on tb: barometer, and, after telling it had been at 26, (peak of its litiking to 29. There hniftakes, how.. ever, may arife from M. GAR NER TN'S want of in. timacy with the Englifh Language, and the cul pable negligence of the Tranflator. The cold was extremely intenrc jn palling through this Taft mentioned cloud, both in afcent and dercent, though.the thermometer did not come quite down to the freezing point. The feelings of cold on the human body are known to be, in many cafes, very different from the effects of it on the thermometers Mr. GLASSFORD laid, that the fenfation of cold was greater than he. ever recolleds to have experienced at any other time whatever, even in more Nor thern climatei. It advanced to fuch a degree, that, clothed as. he was, .he could not have en dured_ its frigidly increafing qualities for a much longer rpace of time. Mr. GLASSFORD oblerved, that the fky was of a much deeper blue when viewed from the height above the cloud, which corresponds with what hag been obrerved by perfons afcendit4 very high mountains. When at the greafeft diflance from the earth, Mr. GLASSFORD paid particular attention to the Mariner's Compels, but could not perceive any difference from What it bore on the level of the earth. It teemed quite as lively, and vibrated in the urtial Manner: On defcending near Melts-Park; the feat of Mr. HORNER, t 6 miles from Bath, an anchor, which hung down from the Balloon, was taken hold of by perfons below, who acted with uncommon ci vility on the occafion, and drew the Balloon, (till floating in the air, into another and larger field, where, without the fmallefi accident, either to themfelves or to the Balloon, the Travellersalight: ed. The peafants refuted to take money for their friendly aid, but teemed very anxious to give tel. timonies of their attention to the Strangers. The Car and Balloon were removed by there people in the moil careful and obliging manner, above a mile, till the cart fent for arrived, and three [billings to the carter, which he relatantly took, was all the expence of conveying the whole to rootne, a diftance of four miles from the place of defcein. • CERTIFICATE.

Yeaerday morning we were called forth to join " in fweetea harmony," in attending the per formance of •that truly fublime compofinon tho Sacred Oratorio of die MISSIA H 9 at the Church. HMI. opened it, and got through the different airs allotted to him tolerably well, confidering this was his fira attempt in this kind of mulic. Mrs. A:rums was very refpe&able in the longs Ile lung. We never heard Madame Dusstx to better ad- vantage in Sacred Mufic, particularly in her ca dence at dote of " Rejoice Greatly," In the truly foletnn ftir of " I know that my Redeemer liveth," the excited the greateft admiration. Mr. MEREDITH, off Liverpool, fupported the bars tongs in his ufual kyle of excellence. Your London readers mutt recoiled this Gentleman with plea- . fure : he was engaged in the Oratorios, at the opening of Drury-lane Theatre. The ref of the airs were given by Mr. flocrax and Mifs TR AV I s, of this county. The Band was very ably led b r Mr. YANIRWICZ, of Liverpool, tvho has confider ably improved in his leading of HANDEL'S Mufic. Mr. WEBBE, the fon of the celebrated •Compofir of Glees of that name, very ably prefided at the Organ. Mr. LANGHORNE accompanied Mr. Ma &milli in -the Fong of " The Trumpet fhtll Sound," admirably : we never heard it perform. ed better by the late SAR P LANT, or HYDE and WOODHARI. The fpirit and correitnefs with which the Chorules were rung, far exceeded our expec tation•; and , much praife is due to Mr. WAIN- F WRIGHT foe his exertions. If there was either of the parts more corm& than another, it was the Trebles, who were all Lancafhire Laffes, dreffed in the manufaaure of this country. This county has been famed for years for Chorus Singers. The women as well as men, when they leave off work, meet in the evening to practice Chorus Singing. The church was crowded with beauty and fathion. In the evening, the Ladies to the number of be tween feven and eight hundred, affembled• in the Guild Hall.. Soon after nine o'clock the country dances commenceii. They were led by the worthy Mayor and Mifs JERNINC HAM, and they did not break up till pall four this morning. The Birth Day was ailed at the - Theatre. Ca tharine and Petruchio followed. The Steam Engine which was drawn in the procellion the day our Ladies walked through the town, belonged to Mr. WArsom, an eminent ma. nufaaurer of this town, one.of the firft who intro. duced the Cotton Spinning here. It was made by an ingenious man in his employ, with only two men to affift him, in the almoft incredible time of from theWednefday morning preceding the Guild to the Monday morning when it commenced, and it would have been in the proceflion on that day, but the carriage on which it was drawn broke down. It is called a Water Spinning Machine of one horfe power, complete, upon the principle of Boulton and Watts. The ciftern carries fevcn hundred, weight of water, and the machine alto gether weighs three thoufand pounds.
