THE BALLOON.—The expected ascent of Miss Tompson and Mr. Livingston took place yesterday, in presence of an imme Ise concourse of persons The balloon went up at hail-past three o'clock, and after A short but beautiful voyage throueh the air, de scended three miles from town. Elle weather WAS very favourable, and the ascent steady and majestic. It is ' , ratifying to state, that the intrepid and enter prising aeronauts did not encounter the smallest accident. STILL Flaw:fr.—Notwithstanding the scarcity of provisions and severity of the laws against illicit dis tillation, the Revenue Officers reaped a good harvest off the county Donegal. There were three hundred fines against town lands, which amount to £B5OO sterling. MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.—In the course of last week. at about eleven o'clock in the forenoon, two young Gentlemen from Dublin agreed to swim from the North. wall to the Pigeon•house, one of whom (a lad about 18 years of age), when he had proceeded more than mid-way, felt exhausted, and attempted to re turn to the point whence he set out, but when he arrived within a few perches of land, he sunk in the presence of several spectators apparently to rise no 'more ; but a strong current drifted him, in a feeble and almost senseless state, to a cove on the south side of Howth, a distance of eight or ten miles, where he was fortunately discovered by a female, who provi dentially went about eight o'clock in the ev*.ning to the spot where he lay senseless, to procure sea water to scud to Dublin. Terrified at sigh an object. she quick'y gave the alarm ; at her screams the sur• sounding inhabitants assembled, and carried the body so the ins' of Hoards, whereall the efforts for restor ing suspended animation were ineffectually practised for mote than two boors, but at length some signs lite appearing, the operation was resumed with redoubled exertion, until the patient was perfectly revived. TRISH MANUFACTURIte••••TUCtday last three .men and a woman were committed to Wexford gaol, by A. H. limos, who were detected in the act of manu facturing leaves of alder, birch, &c. so AS to resemble the various kinds of tea imported from China. About two hundred weight of this deleterious article, toge ther with the sheets and blankets used in the process 0± drying. were lodged in the Cu►tom-house stores. ARMAGH BALL. — The Hon. Mrs. STUART gave a splendid Ball and Supper in the Market-house of Ar. m'gh, on the evening of the 14th instant, the rooms having been ell gmtly fitted up and decorated for the occasion. The coanpany began to assemble at nine o'clock, when the inhabitants of the street, in which the Market-house is situated, testified their respect and wneration by illuminating their bows, and the bells of the Cathedral vas a merry peal.—. The ball was opened by Mr. JTUANT and Miss KNOX, seconded by Colonel CANPRIMIL, of the42J. and Miss STUART—between the sets Quadrilles were danced. These. with the country-dances, were kept up till one o'clock, when the company, about SW in number, set down to a most superb supper, atter which they withdrew to the ball-room. where the dancing re comme:.ced, and continued till five o'clock, when the assembly broke up, most highly gratified with their entertainment, and particularly with the ?ohm atten tion shewn to every individual, by Mrs. STUART and her family, who made every exertion to promote the comfort and happiness of their guests. la soliciting the company. Mrs. STUART had invited every lady and gentleman who had contributed to, or attended. a ball lately given under her patronage, for the be netit t t the poor. Saturday se'nnight, James Warlane, a young man from the Highlands, about 22 years of age, ser vant to Messrs. Watts, in Burnhead of Kells, in Gal loway, was, on his return home from Lanark fair, drowned in attempting to cross the Ken, sear die re mains of the old cattle of Dindench. The Liverpod Woolf:sr states, that there are 1400 children in that town who walk the streets without shoes Or stockings. In Scotland there are many thou sands, from choice, in the same predicament. CHARITY.-•••A poor boy, belonging to Dumfries. on his return from England, where he bad been tra velling, delivered a letter addressed to one of the Mi nisters of that town, wbich being opened, was found to contain a al Bank of England Note, Accompanied with the following words :—" I met the bearer of this accidentally on the road, and he appears to be a de serving boy. It you will have the goodness to dispose of the inclosed Cl Note, as will be most beneficial to hum, in his present circumstances, you will greatly ob li,ge me, and. I hope, be of some service to the lad. (Signed) J. E." We believe that the boy met with thu fticedly stranger somcwbtre in Cumberland. - LAW INTELLIGENCE. *URT OF CHANCERY, AUGUiT WATEIts O. TAYLOPR. Mr. HART this morning beggeit leave to state to his Lordship. that in the case of Waters and Taylor he had directed his attention to the statement tub. mitred ro the Court by Mr. Mills a few days since, and had 4Pscrivered that the calculations it contained, althongl, not intelligible to hire on the former occa sion. when his mind was vari-usly emplored, were iltbstantially correct. Mr. Waters was at present in the unfortsinate situition of hiving been ordered to' pay into Court a sum of between 28 and +129,000, and whilst engaged in providing this money, was called up .n. by a subsequent interlocutory order, to pay in another siim of £3,931, or the amount of his iticursibrance upon Taylor's estate. He was com pletely satisfied, by an inspection of Mr. Milk's ae coimr, that it WAS not rigut that this further sum ought t be paid in by his client, and tl at it could only operate to make him contributory to the pay mint et 'raylor's debts. Sir S. Romilly had only pressed the subsequent order on the presumed consi deration. which he was not then able to controvert, that such order WAS just and proper under the cir cumstances of the case. Mr. Waters was prepared to pay in cool irmably to the original order the sum of 03‘29,000. Ile regretted the absence of Counsel on the oilier side, and suggested that his Lordsl.in would perhaps allow the qu e stion t o b e argue d l to-morrow. The Lou) Cumrcrunn immediately directed that the ,UPJ 000 should be pAid into Court forthwith, and that notice of motion should be served for to morrow. Mr. Waters iccordingly paid into the. Account:int General's Office, at the BAIA, £28,973, being, we understand, the residue of his purchase of the King's Theatre. EX PARTS GITTON IN TII MATTRR OP MIMICIIAEL ANDCO. The bankrupts in this case had been carpet manu factorers and bankers, at Bridgnorth, in the county ut SAltp. In the year ISO.. a commission was sued cut against them addiessed to fire Commissioners in the country, one of whom was an assignee, another a banker, and a third Solicitor to the Commission.— The present motion was to set aside the report of these Commissioners, on the ground of various errors in account, and the total omission of a sum of seven. eon thousand pounds, vested in Exchequer Bills, and which ought to have been placed to the credit of the bankrupt's estate. The CHANcau.oa, after directing the proper pro ceedings for the due verification of the account, cons mented on the gross impropriety of appointing as Conimissionen in country bankruptcies, persons in the situation of these defendants. When he was in formed that the practice was extremely common, he mutt declare that up to this period of his life he had never heard of its existence. He wished it to be un derstood, that it would in future be always consi dered as a sufficient ground for superseding the corn mission ; it being obvitus that a most profligate use might be made of uniting characters, the duties and interests of whom were so directly opposed to each other. A prompt distribution of the bankrupts' estate amongst all the creditors was the incumbent duty of the Assignees, but still more so of the COW. mummers. He was sorry that he had Buffeted him telt to be over-ruled. when he _proposed to the Legis 'attire to eitend the disqualification of bankers to all the creditors. He was influenced in not ordering the present commission to be superseded, only by the consideration of the time which bad been suffered to elapse since it was issued, and because the other cre ditors must now be regarded as having fully ac quiesced in this state of things. He meant not to prejudge the individual conduct of the Commissio ners in this particular case ; that remained still to be examined ; but his observations were general. and applied to the prevention of a general mischief. CARLISLE ASSIZES, MONDAY, AUGUST IR ROBERT V. ROBINSON WILSON. This was an action to recover damages done to the plaintiff by the defendant, by making a seizure of his growing crop, and is a case of considerable interest to the agricultural world. Plaintiff is nephew ro the defendant, and had a farm taken of hint in the parish of Torpenhow ; for which he had always paid the rent regularly until the last half-year, when, from the expenses of improving the laird and other causes, he had fallen into arrear ; for this the landlord had disdained upon the standing crop; but, instead of taking it at a Lair valuation at the time, it had been kept standia) on the ground, and otherwise misma naged, so that when sold in November it did not bring the price it was worth while growing and at the time of seizure. The damages were laid at one thousand pounds. Mr. 'Nemo, as Counsel for plaintiff, procee% ' to call in witnesses to prove his allegations. William Shepherd went with Parker to defendant's house, after the seizure had been made. The former wished to have the business settled without bringing the property to a sale. To this Wilson would agree it plaintiff would give him security for a year'slent ; he said be could not give it him, but that be should have security for halt a year's, if that would satisfy him. Landlord would not agree to this, but said he would sell the property. Witness, as a mediatcr be twixt the parties, proposed that defendant should take the crop at a valuators, but this he objected to.— Witness cannot say what the crop was worth. There were two sales, the first in September, and the second in November. At the first Mr. Lighttoot's (attorney for plaintiff) clerk forbade the sale, when, tit course, the people did not get the lots they had bid fur. Saw the property at the second sale, when it was much damaged from not being cut in time, and !rata the badness of the weather. Cross-examined—ls brother-in-law to plaintiff Does not positively know that Wilson is Parker's uncle, but so it was generally understooi. Henry Nicholson is an auctioneer at Whitebaven. Made the distress on the whole growing property, to gether with some hay in stack, on the 12. h of Sep tember. The rent was due at Lammas. Took an inventory of the goods ; there was neither furniturei nor stock to the value of 20s. The first sale was' made on the 18th of . Septembers many of the lots were knocked down to defendant. Witness s. w plaintiff betwixt the 12th and 18th of September, who told him that if he did nut return from Gosfortla whither he was going, with security for the rent be fore the time of sale, that he (witness) might go on with it. On that day'hc came to him accompanied by Mr. Lightfoot's clerk, after he had got about half the prcpeny sold, and discharged him from sellirg any more. However, by order of defendant, he went on with the sale. None of the bidders, except for the hay, got their purchases. Tl►e ► ale again commenced in November, when all was sold off. lie thinks it would have been better for plaintiff had the crops been sold in November. At that time it was in strck and stook. There were buns upon the pre mises which would have held the corn. Robe►t Beckwith. on the 18th of September ; while going from his wot k, met Wilson and somerthers on their road to the sale. Wilson, in passing him, was saying, ‘• That be would sell it if he should fetch the devil." Witness also attended the sale. Ileard Lightfoot's clerk discharge them from selling any more, as it was unlawful. Wilson made answer and said. " Did he (the clerk) think he would take a dis charge from such a monkey-faced fellow as him E" Defendant bid for four or five lots. Some parts of the crop was much wasted in November. Some other witnesses proved the waste of the crops horn the badness of the weather, and not being !towed m time, in November. Mr. SCAR LErr addressed the Jury.— He said he had often thought :hat Gent'erne , in their situation were snrprized and confounded by the w ratrhngs tit Coun sel, as might well be the case on the present occasion: but he hoped in a few words to prove that, as Conn. set for the defendant, he had a tight for their verdict. He said it had been maintained on the other side, that growing property had no right t.i be seized n e m , : he insisted that it had, though tie allowed that the landlord could not sell except by consent of the te nant. Nor had his client done mnre than what was allowed by law. He had seized the propt tty in order 'to indemnify himself for the rent : and it had heen clearly proved by their own witnesses, that tt.e plain , tiff had given his consent to the sale, it he did not return in time with the security. Now it had been proved that he did not return till the sale was over. He then discharged it, nor did defendant after that allow any of the property to be taken away until after a second sale, and the crops had been taken off the ground, when, by law, he had a right to sell if he chose.--Mr. SCARLETT continued—As to the charge of defendant wasting the property, it .was ridiculous; would any man in his senses wilfully waste that from which his only remuneration was to proceed ? The Judge summed up the evidence, and, after a few moments' consultation, the Jury returned a ver dict for defendant. AUGUST i9...-TRESPASS.+BAT/AIAX v. HAUGIL. . This was an action of treipass. The plaintiff is the Rev. Mr. Batman, of Nett higgie-h4ll, 4lhi the de fendant the huntsman of the Carlisle pack of founds. It appeared by the ev.dence no Robert C'uthard and Jahn Bulman, tha' vo the Gth of December last, Haugh and his hounds came into a field belonging fo Mr. Bateman, who discharged him on the spot; that notwithstanding this discharge, the defendant afterwards went into another of plaintiff's fields, and he was discharged tLence also. Mr. TOPPING for the plaintiff said, that the defen dant had been repe:!edly . guilty of the like conduct before, and on the occasion in question was very in solent and abostve. He only sought for nominal damages in orier to ca-ry costs, which would he a proper punishment. Verdict for the Plaintiff—Da wages, One Farthing. A Ut11.76T 20.-PFASC ID V. MCKINSEY. - _ This was a claim of right of carriage-road by de. fendant, along the stalk below the west walls known by the name of Backhouse's.walk. We cannot enter into all the evidence adduced on the iiccasi.in, but shall content ourselves by Aiving an outline sketch of the affair as it appeared in the course of the trial. It lasted from nine o'clock in the morning till twelve at night. It appeared that alviut two years ago Mr. Peascod had taken the ground in the walk called the Town Dykes, together with the Linsey cottages, from the Corporation, whose property they are. TLe ground had been converted into gardens, palings put dp, the walk made narrower, and a gate put across the road at the entrance at Caldew brow, in prevent horses, carts, &c. from passing that way. This gate, and part of the palings, had been pulled down by defendant, to maintain his alledged right of a private carriage-way, which, it was said, had been granted in writing to the lessee set the house of the late Alder man Backhouse, horn whom the walk took its name, now the property of Mr. Mounsey, hut which grant, trom time and circumstances, has been lost. Mr. SCAIILITT, as Counsel for the plaintiff, con• tended, that whatever custom a tenant might grant during his occupation of any property, was cancelled on its reverting back to the landlord. A great num ber of witnesses were called to prove that during Alderman Backhouse's time the walk was only used as private property, and that no horse nor carriage of any sort was petmitted to enter it; and that a gate or gates was kept at the Caldewbrow eirrance, and locked every night by the Alderman or his servants. This usage of not pettnitting horses. carriages, ace. to pass was also proved :o have continued till within the last twenty years; that coals, &c. were always 'carried by the darn-side-road, and from thence in baskets to the houses in the walk. It was likewiFe proved that the entrance at the bulwarks was even too narrow to admit a cart; and that th.re never was one Well on the walk, until the passage was wide ne d by taking down snare stones which projt:te(l from the walls by Mr. Waldie, for th sole use et the prin . - field of Messrs. Lamb, Scott, Waitlie, .11(1 Co. wh o that had a lease upon the premises ; Alit; that in order to prevent other carts from passing, a trench had been dug where theirs turned on for th., print-field. —A lease was produced in Court, by which it ap peared, that the term of Alderman Bad:house's least! expired in 1784.; and that another was m.ter• bettvera Lamb, Scott, and Co. and the corporatk:i for :no ti years. in 1781, but which was nut t cffect - til the expiration of the !tamer. By tl ; i, tan Ilessees were bound by covenant to prey,•nt a en:2F: road being made of the walk. This lea..e &hi i .:: , expire till 1814; and therefore it was contended that no right could possibly exist on he. par; nt the O. tv- . dant, of either a public or pris ate c irre.l,;e The right of a public footpath had bean given up by the Corporation. After a short consultation, the .1 try returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damage., These Assizes ended on r:k!.iy. Oa the criminal side. eleven prisoners were capttalli e,t IVICIAWi t 444 sentenced to death, but the whole: were alts warJs reprieved.
