THE NATIONAL REGISTER. Iron or partiality, where the delinquency, for what we know, is equal. We are glad to hear that the Limerick and Nottingham regiments have recovered to a due recollection of the duty to their country, and to each •other at'd t , at friendship and good-will have tak •n the plAce of hostility and irritation; both reginients having, as we understand, pled-eel themselve, by a shake of hands, to a fu: tire regard and union."—(Correspondent.) 44 OC 1 .

Mr. Sadler perceiving a cur rent of air passing under him to the northward, he deemed it prudent to descend, in order to avoid being carried towards the sea. The balloon being now quite distr• ded, it became nece.s s:ay to let out some of the gas, which was dune at intervals till it descended into the current \ r. S idler h, d previously noticed; and the adventurers were carried directly northwards. Spalding was now on their right, and Bourn on their lift, when they threw out ail their ballast, being so contiguous to the sea. The• car first struck the earth to the southward of Heck intr.ton with ext. erne violence, the' grappling irons being ineffec :`.rown out; and, on the second concussion, Mr. Sadler having hold of the valve-line, was, by a sudden jerk. caused by ' the grapple taking hold for an instant, thrown violently out, and, unfortunately, received several severe contusions on the head and body ; hut, notwithstanding, had sufficient presence of mind - to call out to Mr. Burcham not to quit his seat. The balloon immediately arose above 100 yards; and, on again descending, the grappling iron caught the ground, and the machine came in contact with a tree, which stopped its progress, and Mr. Burch. ant was fortunately relieved from his peril us anti safely landed on terra firma with only a slight bruise. The aerial voya7e was completed at forty minutes past thrte,"b •ing one hour and twenty minutes from the mom.. nt ci( ascensioa; hav:ng in that short space traversed a distance of at least 112 miles. A, the balloon made towards the eas th, no assivance appeared at hand to secure the splendid vehicle, which, unfor tunately, was very much damaged ; and, from the place the car first struck the earth till the balloon was finally secured, was carried above a mile and a half with Mr. Burcham alone. Mr. Sadler losing one of his shoes on his expulsion from the balloon, he made towards a mill, and begged an old one, which was refused under 7s. though not worth 2d. The nun was, however, recognized in the crowd, and compelled to etund. The adventurers were much indebted to the hospitality of Mr. and Nlrs. Robinson, (f Heckington, where they were kindly received, and treated with every possible mark of atten tion►. MR. SADLER'S BALLOON. The twenty-first ascension of Mr Sadler in his balloon from Vauxhall, near Birniingbani, on Monday, proved a point of attraction to all raeks cat persons. The number carriages, and pedestrians of all descriptions, moving along the roads leading from Lichfield, t oventry, and Dudley, exceed -d by. far the • greatest concourse 4 spectators Mr. Sadler ever witnessed on silly former occasion. The process of filling the balloon commenced at a quarter past ten,• and was fully completed by two o'clock. The different apparatus which had been prepwed, consisting of a thermome ter, hydrometer, barometer, electrometer, and mariner's com pass, together with refreshments, were tht n placed in the car. Mr. Sadler entered, and was immediately followed by Mr. Burcham, a Gentleman of East Dereham, Norfolk. All pre pararlons being completed, at 14 minutes past two the adven turous voyagers bade adieu. The wind at this time blew a brisk gate from the S. W. by W. and the balloon arose: in a most majestic manner. The atmos phere was much overcast; and in three minutes the Moon, rising with considerable veloetty, entered a cloud, which ob scured the view of the spectators for a few seconds. When the aeronauts again emerged, shouts of joy were reiterated from all quarters; and after continuing in fine view ior twelve minutes, they were entirely lust to the spectators. From the strong cur rent of air they experienced in nine minutes after their ascen s'on, it is supposed the aeronauts would direct their course over lath:ldd, and descend near Derby. DESCENT. BIIMINGTI &I, OcT. B.—At half I - aq nine o'clock Mr. Sadler and Mr. Burcham arrived in a post-chaise and f. we, to the en thwiastic joy of the people, who greeted than with every de monstration of respect. on their foal:nate return. Ihe bells rang merry peals, and the firing of_guns, pistols, &c. aunotniced the welcome intelligence. The populace a ftert.v.irds drew the carriage with Mr. Sadler, jun. in charge of the balloon, through • the principal streets, surrounded with lighted torches. In a few minutes the crowd before the res Pence of Mr. Sadler became su great, that to satisfy their impatient anxiety. the aerial vuy. agers obligingly presented themselves at the windows, and their presence was most rapturously hailed with lung and continued rime. The following are the authentic particulars of the voyage : At 20 minutes past two Mr. Sadler and Nil - . &reliant took their seats, and all the necessary itt,.plrittu,s being placed in the car, v , ..ith nearly 2: 0 !its, of ballast, :he machine Wyatt to asci nd in manner, steering N.

The ieniiression on the mind of Nir. Hurcham at sublime :ezme may be more ea-ily conceived than desi fitted. The shouts of the pelple, :Jul the firing of guns, were distinctly au i b le.

REMARK/01LT eam—On the 9.3 d of August lest, a fine yoeng fat ox strayed trom the herd which he was accompanying to the South, as they halted fir the night on the Marestone pasturage, on the hill of Carsegowrie, near Forfar. A diligent st arch NN as made for the animal, but without succe .s; advertisements were posted up, but not a trace of him could be- discovered. On the tech of September, two people of Forfar went to explore, for curiosity; a huge chasm in a rock on the hill of Carsegowrie. 'Yids chasm is about five fret Wede, and shout fiitty deep, almost perpendicnier. Descending, into the cavern they discovered the long lost ux at bottom recite ed almost to a shelteine covert d ivida maggots, end alive ! In this place he could nrit:ter turn nor lie down, a , d not a particle of he• bage grew tl,tre to sustain ben. lie was take!. from his drt ary abode, after residing in it fur twenty-three days without either food or water; lie was re stort d to his owner, and is fast regaining his usual strength and vigour ! A boy, in the service of Mr. T. Fawcett, of Gate, lately accom p-ivied his master in shooting all day upon the moors ; and, i* returnine in the evening, his master desired him to make the hest of his way home. The boy proceeded on foot, but being much fatieued, sat down, and fell asleep. How long he remain ed in that situation is uncertain, as when f ecid, he was in his own bed asleep : a neighbour, passing on the road early next mernine, foiled his clothes scattered in various directions, nearly a mile elf. •Fhe account he give sea:, that he dreeret he had be-en at a neiehhour's house, at a good supper, after which he supposed he went to bed there. It appears he actually walked three miles, though in a profound s'ecp the whole of the time; Curin g which lit striept d off his clothes, and walked tome naked, passed the gate, and went up stairs to bed, the whole of toe time beieg a sleep. A few days since, as two men were -hooting m oo r-bens, in a e place called the Pool, near Southover, or nethem mistook the head of a black s, anlel, with which they were hunting among the !teeth, fur their game, and shot the poor animal Si) badly in the face. that one ot his eyts came out of Lu so, keel, and he fell d snas in the agonies of death ; hut whil the shooters were debating, whether it wohld net be best to put the dog cut of his misery by another shot, a bird made its appearance, was kilted by one ot them, and fell into the water, when the well-bred dog, seemingly aroused by the report of t!r sun, g'r on he irks, stageereel into the pool, end actually brought out the rime, and laid it at the feet of his mister! The spaniel was immediately talteu h ime, and is now in a fair way of neovery. A melancholy accident happened at 'I uebrielge W his, OR Saturday, the 2i3th ult. As Thomas Jeffery was w aid:tug him-
