The most dreadful conjectures were now formed, and every one crowded to the :po s t where M. Essay intended to have descended: ..Soott they learnt that he h id come down in perfect safety near the hamlet of St. Charles. 1' • .40,706. rapid fall Which •had so Justly ala . _ was as fOllOl4l FAsat travirig Amy atrreill height, encountered. cootrary winds, which forced his balloon in every direction. -He then thought of db. scendin* and to accomplish this he 'ptillexthe silkess string of the val. e ; but the latter toeing placell'ent the lower side of the machine, was so tight ear(' within the folds, which were guipmed, that it ((Arid not open to leave the gas a flee passage. The aeronaut saw himself reduced to pass the night in the air, or to burst his balloon; this last course seemed to him dangerous, and he Adopted one which might have precipitated him six thousand feet. Standing upright in his vacillating bark, be drew towards him the valve by grappling with the balloon. He then broke it with an .admirable ptesence of mind ; but the gas evaporating too speedily, he came dot n with great . rapidity. M. FASSY, however, as an able navigator, had reserved'his ballast for this decisive nionsent.-- , On the point of being precipitatej to the earth, he threw out his hags and his anchor, art the machine suddenly lightened, slackened its fall, and left the aeronaut the means of descending in as good case as - he had started. - , Coeusisituist Department, SAO. 30, 1322.

Shakspeare mentions this cus tom of strewing rushes in several places of his dramas, and particular iy in that of Henry Me Fourth (Part 11. Act V.) where at the Coronation Procession of Henry flu? Fifth, two grooms enter strewing of rushes, and the first groom calls on t " More rushes more rushes r Straw was used for the King's bed as late as the time of Henry VIII.—The manor of Wilmington, Kent, was anciently held by the service of finding for the King " one pot-hook for his meat," *whenever - he should come. that way. Henry the Third's Queen's goldsmith was to render yearly to the King " a pot of honey," for hinds at Newington, Surrey ; Wm. Gar diner held an estate in Lancaster " to find pot-herbs and leeks for the King when he Came to the Castle there."' Another paid for land elsewhere " the sera ice of dress ing such." Kramer de Hanlon held an estate by the service of " cutting out the linen clothes of the King and-Queen." One of the most remarkable of the .e Royal tenures; however, was one where a William Hopperhost held land by the service of keeping, for he King six damsels (nteretrices), and another by which Hanto de Galion held 'the manor of by the service of being ".marshal of hurl') e girls who fol lowed the King's Court." Theformer service is called " Pimp tenure, and has occasioned much dispute and some merriment, as being supposed to meanthat these were women kept for the King's pleasures. Good reasons, however, have been given by late writers for dissenting from this opinion; the term " meretrices" being explained by them to mean merely washer women, or laundry-maids. Among other singular tenures granted by subjects the following arc enumerate]: In the manor of Stoneley,Warwickshire, there were anciently four bondmen, whereof each held one mes ssrage and certain land, by theservice of" making the gallows, ard hanging the thieves there." Each of which bondmen was to wear a red chat bet..teen his shoulders upon his upper garment. SlEdward Coke says this is the worst species of tenure he ever heard of. Ralph Scales gave the Knights Templar, 170 acres of arable and also other land in Essex ; and they had other lands here, the rena:,ts of some of which " was t.) eat in lieu of all services." Meindescabit pro emu' servi:io. But the next tenure was still rriore ludicrous: " A farm at Brook Home, in Langsell, in the-parish of Ramston, in the county of York, paid yearly t•I Godfrey Bosville, Esq. a snow ball at Midsummer, and a red rose at Christmas."- This extrao: di nary service, the editor supposes, was fulfilled by presenting a pre served or dried rose, as it is not s i ecified that it should be fresh gathered. And as to the snow ball, he easily accounts for it by remarking, that he has himself.oh served snow in the caverns or hollows upon the high moors in the vicinity in the midst of summer. • CUSTOMS OF MANORS.
