GRAHAM'S ACCOUNT OF HIS ASCENT FROM CHELTENHAM. " At abbut half-past ten o'clock on Wednesday morn ing we began to inflate the balloon. There was a good s upply of very fine gas. It began to fill very rapidly. At three o'clock, I and my assistants commenced fasten ing the car, &c. to the hoops and the netting. At a quarter past four all was complete. Mr. Webb, who had engaged to accompany me, and myself took our seats regularly in the car. The ropes were then cut, and we w e r e permitted to rise, but a sudden breeze drove us against the roof of the stabling, which, however, we eventually cleared, sliding over the slates. We sustained no injury. We then passed over two houses, and a sud den gust of wind beat us down into _the main street.— We were immediately surrounded by the populace, and they seized hold of the car. They carried us up the street about 200 yards, the balloon on either side touch ing the houses. Mr. Webb then very reluctantly quitted the car, as we found that there was not sufficient gas in the balloon to take us both up. The populace then moved the car onwards about 50 yards more to an open space fronting Cheltenham Chapel, and in so doing the netting came in contact with the coping of a house, a portion of which fell on a man, who, however, I ascer tained, before I would ascend, was not dangerously hurt. " I then freely and regularly ascended, at hail-past four o'clock esactly. The balloon, being relieved of Nr. Webb, my coat, most of the ballast, the flags, &c. ascended with great velocity. The wind was n't strong. Is about five minutes I entered a duck, dark, heavy cloud, and almost instantaneously the earth, which was before distinctly visible, disappeared from my view. When I had got completely into these clouds, I was seized with most violent cold, and I felt it the mote sen bly, a , l'was without my coat. This extreme cold, accompanied with a heavy damp sensation, continued ,:!,out ten minutes ; till, in fact, I arose above them, bat only to enter into heavy and foggy clouds. The i.-mosphere around was still very gloomy ; but when looked below, on tho: . e clousis thsough which I had . asst passed, the view wa, indeed appalling. 'nose clouds appeared like vast rugged mountains of dingy !haw, oa rather dirty ice. The surrounding atmosphere continued cheerlessly chill and gloomy ; hut at the ex-- I:el-aides of my views the aapcarances were glee . and :ed, the greet), however, greatly predominating. " I now began to feel somewhat wat mer ; but I caaht to observe, that in passing through the first thick a f:soy clouds, I felt my ears much affected. They I seamed to clack and rattle like parchment, and I expe s:enced considerable pain. There was likewise much pseasure on my feet ; there seemed to be a is,reat weight an them. A dizziness came over me, and I had slight Nnsations of sickness; but those I removed by a little fall-proof brandy, which I fortunately had with me. dizziness, however, continued; and having got fascias!) those thick cold clouds, the painful sensation to my cars, &c. in some degree ceased. o When I got into the comparatively milder atmo sphere, I found that I ascended more rapidly, and con tittued to ascend with greater rapidity for some time. The current of air was not very strong, only occasion ally, so that I was not carried forward in a rapid man• ter. Having long been out of sight of the earth, and bavin a recovered the free use of my limbs, I began to pull the valve line; but had I before • felt so disposed, I could not have done it—the extreme cold with which I vas oppressed would not have permittel me; could I have pulled it before, I certainly should have done so. pulled the valve line fifteen times before I could per ceive that I began to descend. I discovered that I was ascending by throwing out small pieces of paper: but was still making considerable progress. Beneath mc, and above me, however, continued hazy and cloudy ; steed, the appearances all around were awful and gloomy in the extreme. During the whole of my as cent I never saw anything like a portion of clear sky. having considerably recovered from the cold, and find ing that I was descending, I used my small telescope; but 1 could perceive no object save those frightful clouds; I could rot catch airy glimpse of earth. By means of the small pieces of paper thrown out, I ascer tained I was still generally descending, though slowly. I here made an observation that forcibly impressed it self on my attention. When the rays of the sun even partially made their was through the dense cold clouds with which I was surrounded, I perceived that the bal leon gradually began to ascend; and when the rays were inter:tired, the descent of the balloon resumed. During this time 1 had not again touched the valve line. I however found myself in various currents of air, changing occasionally to every point of the compass. " I felt much indebted to Messrs. Dixey, of New Bond -street, for the accommodation of their useful' self adjusting thermometer'—an instrument which enabled me, with the greatest accuracy, to ascertain the degrees alt heat and cold. Shortly after my ascent this glass was at 69, between summer heat and temperate. It was soon afterwards 46 ; then 42; and in the dense cloud, previously partially noticed, it fell to 35, the freezing point being marked at 30. • The cold at that juncture so overcame me, I was completely benumbed, so that I could not make further observations, and I was obliged to use a glass to see the figures and marks on the instru ment, owing to the overwhelming fog. "I had been up full an hour, w hen I began to descend as already mentioned. In descending, I re-entered a cloud of similar coldness and dreadful appearance, from its density and ruggedness, to those through which I had passed in my ascent, only the fog scented to be thicker; and it was here so dark, that I could not dis cover anything in the car, nor whether I was ascend ing or descending. There was so much dampness in the atmosphere around me just now, that I apprehended I was over the sea, and that such dampness could only proceed from the evening vapours of great waters. I was in this state of coldness and anxiety for about ten minutes. Those really frightful clouds, I calculated were half a mile thick ; and they occasioned the most appalling impressions in my mind, as I could nor, under all circumstances, imagine otherwise than that I was descending over the sea. While passiug through those horrible clouds, I experienced sensations similar to those felt soon after my ascension, agitation in the ear, deaf ness, great pain, dizziniss, &c, only all of them in a severer degree. " Having passed through those clouds, which I shall never forget, and I appeared to have regularly de scended, the earth suddenly, beautifully, and most sa tisfactorily, burst on my astonished view. Open plains itePeated to lie beneath rue. I saw a small village; I vas very near it, but I kept up. Having passed over the village, I threw out my only two grappling-irons; Lut neither of them caught to anything; indeed, the rapes cat them got twisted and entangled together, so as to become useless, and I eventually lost them. But 1 " 0 . 5 to the easth without, however, the balloon fasten *mg to anything, or ceasing its progress, and I unfortu nately lost hold of the valve line, which, although it dangled before me within a yard or two of my grasp, I could never more recover. I was drawn along — the surface of the earth, sometimes lightly, and sometimes rather roughly, for about three-quarters of a mile. By the rolling about of the car, I lost all its furniture, as well as the watch out of my pocket, my pocket-book, money, &c. " These losses lightened the car in a trifling degree so that I partially re-ascended, and was dragged along again for a considerable distance. Eventually the ma chine came in contact with a tree, checking the balloon in such a way that the car was drawn underneath it ; and the car and myself, as I had not yet been able to get out, were partially rolled up in the balloon. The bal loon in a short time again extricated itself. It then pro ceeded about half a mile further ; but aiming in con tact with two trees, it was finally checked. During this time crowds were running after the balloon—many Gentlemen and farmers on horseback, besides many persons on loot; but none of them could keep up with me while the balloon and the car dragged along. I re mained fa,tened between the two trees for about five minutes, before any one came up. I kept my station, in the car, till many persons approached, as I was fear ful if I left it the machine would again ascend. On their, arrival some men having got last hold of the car, I got out of it. A l ter expelling the gas, the balloon and car were packed up and sent to Cheltenham. "I was six or seven miles from Oxford, and about fifty-six from Cheltenham, having been in the air one hour and thte:-quartcr3. I de , cended at a quarter past six o'clock. I soon procegded to Oxford, having been everywhere much accommodated and welcomed ; and thence by the mail to Cheltenham, on Thursday morn ing. A slight bruise on my side is the only inconve nience (excepting the dreadful clld) I have experienced:. MR. SADLER'S ASCENT' FROM YORK. YORK, Seer. 25.—Monday morning, agreeably to notice, a gun was fired to announce Mr. Sadler's ascent with his magnificent balloon, mad between ten and eleven o'clock, the process of inflating commenced, and went on with the greatest regularity. The effect, when the sun was unob:cured, was extremely beautiful. By-the politeness of the Colonel of the Ist Royal Dragoons, now at our barracks, a detachment of that regiment attended at the ground to preserve order, whilst the band were also there, to add, by the power of music, to the interesting scene. An immense concourse of people was soon assembled; and at half-past four, the balloon baring been suffi ciently inflated, Mr. Sadler stepped into the car and ascended, amidst the loud acclamations of a countless multitude. An accidental - rent in the balloon had nearly produced serious consequences; and a stores aris ing just at the moment of ascent, had gone near to dash the aerial traveller into eternity, against the adjoining Bar walls. Mr. Sadler, however, with all the coolness and ability of experience, threw out a considerable por tion of his ballast ; and seeing the approaching danger, instantly and very dexterously cast himself on the bottom of the car, and guarded against the shock by suspending himself by his hands from the cords. Having cleared the walls, the ascent of the balloon much improved ; and to show to the multitude that he was not injured by the circum-tance above named, Mr. Sadler stood up in the car, and greeted the astonished crowds. Every eye was now fixed”-every feeling of agitation, fear, and wonder, ere now in full exercise. The balloon passed away in rapid progres., and as it glided through the air, towards Selby, the spectators soon lost sight of it and its adventurosts attendant. Mr. Sadler, after ascending, experienced a very severe shower of snow. The beautiful rainbow was under him, and its grandeur was beyond description. The greatest height the balloon rose was about one mile. The wind was extremely troublesome, and to use the words of the eronaut, the voyage was conse quently a most tremendous one. Mr. Sadler, however, safely descended at Kellington, near Snaith, at five mi nutes past five in the evening, but not before two of the prongs of his grappling iron (each one inch in diameter) had been snapped in two by the combined force of wind and the balloon. A chaise and four having been pro cured at Selby, Mr. Sadler, with his balloon,..pro ceeded to York, and arrived in this city at about half past nine o'clock, just as the bells of Coney-street church were striking up a merry peal. Mr. Sadler, on his return, observed, .that in all his zrial voyages he never received such inhospitable treat ment as from the inhabitants of Kellington; their indif ference to assist him, and their rapacity, more resembled a Cornwall Wreck•hunter than the general well known liberality of a Yorkshireman; pot a crust of bread nor a draught of water was offered. PALACE COURT, IVLSTMINSTER,SEPT.26. EDMONDS 9. AWILZR. In this ease judgment was suffered to go by default, and a verdict of 701. taken for the plaintiff, under the following circumstances: Mr. Edmonds was a respectable solicitor, and the de. Pendant, Ambler, received several sums on his account, for which he passed his bond for one hundred pounds. Subseqnent to that settlement. Ambler received further sums to the amount of 701. which he converted to his own use. He was then arrested and thrown into pri son, and attempted to take the benefit of the Insolvent Act, but was remanded by the Court for 12 months for fraudulent conduct to the plaintiff. In his schedule he admitted the bond for one hundred pounds, and als - o the 701. for which the present action was brought.' A certified copy of the schedule was taken as evidence for the debt, and a verdict given for the plaintiff. DRAKE V. YDLLIR. This was an action to recover seven pounds, for seven weeks' board and lodging. It appeared that the de fendant, being out of employment, was invited by the plaintiff to reside in his house till he get a situation.— After seven v. eeks residence there, he quarrelled with the plaintiff's wife, who said she would net suffer him to stay any longer, unless he paid her. He said he shortly expected money, and would settle her bill. It was con tended that this promise was art admission of the debt. The defendant was present, and was reprimanded by the Cnurt for unbecoming conduct there.—Verdict for the plaintiff. Lord Ymtaosovoir was created a Baron in the year 1794 ; and is succeeded in his title by his eldest son, the Hoo. CHAN.= Aaniason PatalAx, now Lord Yaasuaaeat, which sue crulon vacates his seat for Lincolnshire. It is a remarkable fact, that none of the unfortunate persons capitally convicted thls Sessions have been ironed. Formerly it was customary to double-iron them imme• diately after couvictioo. OLD nAtLry srssro.vs. Yesterday J o h n Holmes was indicted for stealing a seal and key from the person of Richard l'rice. The prosecutor was a publican, and the prisoner came into the house and asked for a glass of gin. Witness served the gin, and the prisoner offered three halfpence for it. Witness said that would not do, he must have twopence for it. The prisoner then said he would not pay the other halfpenny, but would have a turn-up (a fight) for it. Witness said that would not do for him, and he would turn him out in about half a minute. He then came out of the bar to turn the prisoner out, and at the house-door prisoner took him round the waist, and snatched at his watch. The ring v.thich held the seal and key was straightened by the force of the puli, and the prisoner ran off with the seal and key. Pursuit was immediately made after him, and he was taken. The prisoner was not drunk, but mig!:t be a littie the worse for liquor. Another witness said he had found tl:e seal and key on the spot where the prisoner was taken. When appre• liended tile prisoner said he was a stn seen in the navy. The prisoner now stated in his deteitce tHt lie wa, intoxicateJ at tha time of the commi-sion of the oil - Laic( alleged against him. He declared that lie had ou anew don whatever to rob tho prosecutor. The Reconurat observed to the Jury that the seal and key appeared to have been thi.)tvo only seven cr eight yards flora the proxcuter. It aas an act - b1 hicii nri~hthave been done by a drun!:rn man. The Jury found a verdict —Not Ghiliy. Lawrence Cleary stood indicted for stealing thirty nine sovereigns, the property of Thomas Fahy, on Ott! 7th of July. in the parish of St. Paul, Covent-Garden. Mr. WA LFORD stated the case for the pi cnectition, and called Tnoinas Fally, who deposed that he lived in Bed fordbury, and on the 7th of July he had occasion to sell out of the funds 39 sovereigns. He was accompa nied to the Bank by a female relation, Mrs. Knavin, who went with him to several public-houses, and then went with him as la r as Fleet -street, on his way home: hel wa s fresh, and when he got home he lay down on Cleary's bed, who was a lodger in his house, from three . , to five o'clock. His money was safe when he parted from his relation in Fleet-street. He saw the prisoner next morning, who skewed him ten or eleven sovereigns, and said.he had got them from a young woman who had taken them from a foreigner. On his cross-examination, he said he did not have the prisoner and the girl apprehended for robbing the foieigner. When Knavin was before the Magistrate, he did not state that his money was safe after he parted with her. She was brought up by order of the Sitting Magistrate at Guildhall. Mary Knavin, the prosecutor's cousin, and Margaret Fahy, his wife, corroborated his statement in the most material points. Several witnesses stared that they saw a number of sovereigns in the prisoner's possession alter the robbery.—Guilty. The RECORDER refused the prosecutor his expenses, on the ground of his continuing hint in his hou s e when he had acknowledged himself a thief. - At four o'clock the whole of the trials were gone through, and the Court adjourned till tomorrow at one o'clock, when sentences will be passed upon the prisoners. EXTRAORDIA ARY ROBBERY. .m........m..... Tuesday last a number of persons assembled round Usher's-quay Police-Office, Dublin, attracted by the arrest of a young Gentle. man, whose appearance and manners were of the first respectabi lity; his former life had been always considered so, and as he was taken off to be examined, the spectators exuid scarcely credit the evidence of their senses, when apprised that he stood charged with robbery, or shop-lifting.—From the evidence produced at the inves tigation which took place before the Magistrates a few moments after he had been arrested, it appeared that his name is George De vereux ; he had been for some time on intimate terms with Messrs. Orr and Co. of Merchant's-quay, and received from them the most particular attention at all times: he was Mr. Orr's guest—received kindly at his table—introduced to his friends, and most ungratefully has he repaid his hospitality, if the statement against him be sup ported. He is owner or director of a vessel now in this harbour, and has been for some time speaking of sailing to Portugal or Spain on a mercantile adventure. lie called often at the ware-rooms on Merchants-quay, lounged about, talked over the news of the day, and made visit after visit ; indeed It is now remembered that he was wont to make visits to the Messrs Orrs' establishment seven or eight times in the course of even a day. Latterly, property to some amount has been missing, and the proprietors were for some time quite it alms to account for the cir cumstance ; at length suspicion was created, that Mr. Devcreux was not acting perfectly right. Yesterday, shortly after twelve o'clock, while he strolled carelessly about Mr. Orr's premises, a young man, John Munro, in the em p loyment of Messrs. Orr, as cending the ware-room gallery, cautiously concealed himself behind a curtain, and watched Mr. Devereux's proceeding. lie was not long so employed when he observed him snatch up some pieces of calico, and imagining.that he wan unobserved, secreted them about his person ' • he then went away with them, and returned in a quar ter of an hour, when he took three more pieces of calico, and left the house, but was followed by Munro and others, who came up with bim at the end of Wine Tavern -street, never having lost sight of him from the moment he took the last pieces. Two of the patrol of Usher's-quay were passing at the instant, and secured him. lie was brought before the Magistrates and examined. One piece of calico was discovered in his hat, which being full, merely stood balanced on his head; the other two pieces were skil fully swathed round his body, hanging down behind his knees; they were fastened round his waist with twine, and just concealed from observation by the skirts of a fashionable frock coat. He said little in presence of the Magistrates, but appeared to have re covered from his frightful infatuation, and to be fatly conscious of the situation be stood in; be shuddered, and looked much embar rassed. He referred the officers to Wine Tavern -street, where he deposited some of the property. 'There were•threc pieces of Mr. Orr's calico found there. The owner of the house, Bridget Ka vanab, was brought in custody by peace officer Samuel Carnpaigne, and held over fur farther examination. Mr. Devereux was com mitted to Nrwgate for further examination. He begged permission to go in a coach, which was allowed. lie had been married a short time since, to an amiable and reopeetable woman; and on his return front Oporto, whither he declared bis in tention to sail from Dublin In a very few days, he was to have brought home seventy pipes of wine, the freight of which the Messrs. Orr would have given him. His dealings with the Messrs . . Orr, were some time since very extensive • leaving this, he has fre quently purchased tile.? manufactured goo ds to the amount of fifteen or sixteen hundred pounds. A crowd of persons followed the coach in which be was driven off to Newgate. • An article from a BAI badoes paper, dated the 20th July, notices the prevalence of an inAuenza, or epi demic disorder, in that ishini, so general, that it had visited almost every family in it. Its synytoms, how ,ever, were in a very few inAances of a fatal nature. The Dublin Journal of Wednesday says, We regret 'to state that theie is no truth in the report, that the murderers of the naves family have been apprehended." We cannot, in justice to our friends and the Public, ,refrain calling attention to a Lock. of very ingenious workmanship, and which we think of great national consequence. The original inventor of this Improved Lock, (Mr. W. Russ,, 44; St. John-street, West Smithfield,) cannot but ensure the public approbation and praise, for such a noble invention. This tmprove ment will bear the minutest - investigation, and a Lock' of this make is for public initiectioni and warranted so inviolably secure, that we understand the only Inventor will forfeit the sum of 1:1.000 to any person who wir pick the same.
