It having been announced that Mr. W. W. Sadler would make his thirty-first ascent in his balloon from Bolton this afternoon, considerable anxiety was felt in this town to have a view of it, as the state of the wind was ascertained to be pretty favourable for wafting the aerial voyager in this direction. About 543 minutes before three o'clock, the balloon was seen rising over the hills on the south-east, and came within about a mile of this town. The grandeur of its approach, to the period when it was apparently seen to descend, was beyond description. HayLpzst Four (IClecle.—W e have just been informed by a person who was on the spot, that about ten minutes before three o'clock, the balloon was seen hovering over Holytroyds, in the township of Church, about three miles from hence; and in attempting to make a descent, the bal loon came in contact with a chimney, when the aeronaut was thrown out of the car. Ile held by the grappling-iron for a considerable time, and is supposed to have been dragged several hundred yards, during which time he was much injured by the tops of trees, chimneys, &c. At last lie fell to the grounds from a height of about 13 or 10 yards. Numbers of people immediately ran to his as sistance, and he was taken up much bruised, and in a senseless state. Ile was taken to the Ilulyuovds public house, where every attention was paid him. The balloon immediately ascended, and was soon out of sight. IlaltLpast Fire o'Clock.—James Barlow, Esq. and Mr. Dugdale, surgeon, have just been sent for to attend the unfortunate gentleman, who, we understand, ii not ex patet to recover. Half-past Sir o'Cloek.—We have just been informed that Mr. Sadler was accompanied by a man-servant, and that the balloon made cumber descent on Mr. Taylor's estate, near ll'halley„ when the servant was thrown out, and bad his arm broken, and was otherwise much bruised. A chaise was Mimi:that, ly procured, and be act off for Bol ton. The balloon again ascended, and has not, up to this hour, been secured. The above report has been hastily gathered, and may not perhaps be entirely correct. EXTRACT FROM ♦ PRIVATE LFTTER. " Blackburn, Scpt. 28. " Sailer went up in his balloon to-day from Bolton, ac companied by his servant man, and I hare just heard that he was thrown out, about four milts from hence, and his man was thrown out near Bey, six miles from here. The grappling-iron broke, and the car coining in contact with a chimney, Mr. Sadler was thrown out ; be then caught the rope, and was carried up a considerable height, hut the balloon descended, and Mr. S., being exhausted, fell to the ground. He is much wounded, and two medi c3l wen are gone to his aid. The servant was thrown out by the balloon coming in contact with some garden-rails, and he has an arm broken, and is otherwise much bruised." MR. ALDERMAN WOOD AND TER MORNING CHRONICLE. QIICITTONIXO Or • PRTSOW Int.—A young man named Chas. George Fester, an apprentice with Mr. Smith, a manufacturer of articles in ornamental leather. No. 45, King-street, Snow-hill, was brought to Guildhall on Thursday, on the charge of having stolen a small card-case, the ptoperty of his master. Thee.) was no question as to the primmer hating possession of the card-case, for he had Mitered it to one of the out-door workmen to be gilt, and cards, with his own name engraved upon them, in the fashionable old English letter, were found in the case. Mr. Alderman Wood, however, doubted the possibility of proving to the satisfaction of • Jury, that this identical eard-case, there having been six dozen of the same kind manufactured. might not have been sold. The pro secutor's nephew, who attends to the sales, offered to swear that none of the cant-cases of this particular make had been sold. The Alderman would not, however, permit him so to do then, but ad.' viscd him to make minute examination into the stock, the stock. book, and the book of sales first, and remanded the prisoner foe further Itemiitt , until the next day (yesterday), when, on his ap pearing at the bar, Mr. Smith, the prosecutor, being called, the Alderman, address. ing him, said, by • letter I have received front you, I Sod you would rather not pursue this prosecution. Mr. Smith sUil, soda all the circumstances of the case, he did not intend to proceed any further. Mr. Alderman Wood—Then I take it fur r-snted that, on in quiry, you think that you would not be able to make out &sufficient case to go before a jury. Mr. Smith said, he was not quite sure of that. Mr. Alderman Wood—Why, then, do you not proceed ? You seemed quite anxious yesterday to prosecute ' and appeared to think that I did not enter into your view of the business. If you have evidence to produce, we are not in th,i habit here of letting prisoners escape easily, against whom a ease of felony can be established. What are your reasons for now declining the prosecution ? Mr. Smith Said, the prisoner had confessitil Its contrition, and promised to amend his conduct for the future. This contrition on the part of the prisoner not having been ex. pressed to Mr. Smith himself personally, but through his nephew, Mr. Joseph Smith, the Alderman desired the latter to stand foe. ward. _ _ . Mr. Alderman Wood—lt did appear to me, yesterday, that the facts you were about to swear to were such as required much con. sideration, and that it was almost impossible that you could swear positively to them, without a very minute examination to ascertain the exact number of these articles manufactured from your stock. book; the precise quantity that you still have In your possession ; and a careful investigation of your book of sales. liars you made such an examination ? Witness—No, I have not. Sir. Mr. Smith thinks that the pri. annex has become sensible of his misconduct ; lie has so expressed himself to we and to his own *lends ; and under these circum stances, my uncle thinks that the punishment he has already un dergone is sufficient to make such an impression upon him as will influence his conduct tbr the future. The Alderman then addressed the prieoncr at some length upon his folly and misconduct, and upon his professing himself fully sensille of his impropriety, and his contrition for what had already occurred, the Alderman permitted hint to be discharged. Mr. Alderman Wood then taking up the .Iferniv Chronicle of yesterday, said, •• I think it necessary just to notice an observation of some reporters or writers in the newspapers with mpect to the present case ; not that they find any fault with me, but that I ant quite surprised that they should have appeared. They cannot, I ani sure, have been written by any one th at is a lawyer. It is sel dom th at I have time to read the papers, and I have not read a sin. before; report from the Guildhall office during the whole of the week ' but my attention has been directed to the following re. marks. which hive appeared this morning. Mr. Alderman Wood now read from the leading article of the 411 °rising Chronicle the following passage • Now in this ease. in which the worthy Alderman was not vitiated with the eeidence, why was not the prisoner asked whether or not he took the card case ? The probability is. that he would have acknowledged his guilt. What better evidence can there be of guilt than the confession of the criminal.* Who could have sent such an article to the press, I cannot con ceive. It could not, I should think, have been written by the Edi tor, and I should hardly suppose the writer to be an Englishman. This I can assure him, he wia never find me to be the person to drag a confession out of any prisoner. We arc forced, occasionally, to have mauve to certain means fur gaining information, but con. „f e mione must always be the voluntary act of the prisoner. If the writer of this article had been a native of France, I should not have been surprised: but though there may be some things in the laws of France wuethv of our imitation, particularly some parts of the Code Napoleon, I hope the extorting of confessions trom pri soners, will never be introduced into the criminal jurisprudence of this country. I have been in France, and when there. was per. mitu-d to be present at some criminal examinations, and I felt quite disgusted at the questions put to the prisoners, and the manner in which answers were extorted, end confessions dragged from them, criminating themselves. Mr. klmtth here stepped forward, and assured the. Alderman that he had no knowledge of the article he had alluded to till he saw it in the paper that morning, and disclaimed having in any way Vlggelted the questioning of the prisoner. Mt. Alderman Wood—l do not suppose yon bad any knowledge of it. It is not t prosecutors are generally most unwilling to proem! against ()Fenders; and are almost in every ease desirous of 'hewing every lenity towards prisoners--indeed generally thee are too lenient; hut whoever wrote it, I should Mink he was no Eng lishman.

Ask him what he has to sae ? but it is irregular in a Magistrste to otimine riso:hr in the same manner as a witness is examined." The examination was accordingly rejected, and the prisona, in conse quence, acquiticd ll'e arc informed that the operative dyers have done themselves hurt by their combined attempt to rai:! tiwir Wares.

Mr. Mnrtough O'Donovan. Mrs. Catherine O'Donovan, and Mr. Jonathan Saul, were cathxl on to be tried for an assault. The two Irish emigrants appeared at the bar. Mr. Jonathan Saul adnneed to the beach. and declared that he had never been accused before a magistrate. that he had never been taken into cunt* on the charge; that he bad come here to-day on a subpoena to give his evidence for the two O'Donovms; he there. fore objected to be tried, as he could not be supposed at that ma anent to be prepared to rebut a charge which had never been made.

ALLEY col the case for the prosecution. sst y n o t It appeared from the evidence that tho prisoners Inhabited an old house in King John's-court, St. Limehouse. The landlord wishing to pull down the house, proceeded with labourers and ladders. mounted the roof, and wi about stripping it. Mr. lilunough O'Donovan thinking this rather too great a liberty, as cended the ladder also, mounted the roof, loosened the ropes which fastened the top of the ladder. deseauled, and was pulling it away, together with the superincumbent labourers, whets 3lagrath, the parish headbomugh, came up and seized him. Tile Irishman, according to custom, made • most energetic resistance; he threw himself on the ground, and swore if he must go they should carry him. The hcaribtwough was dragging him along when Mrs. O'Donovan, backed by a Hock of her gallant countrywomen, pounced on the heiulborough, overpowered his parochial might, drew his cravat something closer round his neck, and, in fact, did all but strangle him. Ile turned as black in the face as the ace of spades. Soul, the absent prisoner, was alleged to have cheered the Irish ladies by—" Uo it, my girls; back you for • cool hundred." ' --- WSWas the case against the prisoners. Mr. PHILLIPS rose to defend his accused eompahlots at the bar. The Learned Gentleman commetwed by ohnvting to the national reflections used by Mr. Alley, talking to an English Jury of Irish tendencies to riot. They came with a very bad grace from a gentleman who was himself a native of the same country. Mr. A LLET—Why do you talk so, Mr. Phillips, sure you do it yourself? It. Pstmerts--Well, if I do, I always bear the rebuke for them, Mr. Alley. But, Gentlemen of the Jury, that my poor clients have acted in an Irish manner is very probable, for really the treatment which they received was so very Irish, as to make them almost believe themselves to have been at the moment 10 Ire.. land. You all have heard of the summary methods of ejecting te. name in my country. They sometimes smoke out the tenant ; sometimes burn him out of the house, and have been known even to have drowned a tenant out of possession. These are, to doubt, very effectual, though sometimes disagreeable, and always Illegal, ways of ejecting. It seems, however, that tire landlord of my poor clients took a great liking to something of the Irish style, for hay. ing consulted Irish authorities on the subject, he adopted the step. ping mode of ejecting them. Ile asked them to pay . rent; they refused. fora season which also happens to be quite Irish, namely, that this ISMS demand had been made by tire different landlords, or, as we call them in Ireland, middlemen. The house had not been indicted as a nuisance. The landlord was not warranted in taking down the house over the heads of my clients, the tenants. They acted very naturally and rightly in resisting, and the assault on the headborough was a natural consequence of that just resistance. With this simple statement he would leave his case to the consid.r. ation of the Court. ..... The Chairman recommended the Jury to acquit the prisoners, on the ground that the landlord had not given notice to the prisoners of hie intention to pull down the house. The Jury found the prisoners Guilty. The CHAIRMAN sentenced them to pay a he of Is. each, and enter into their own recogniasueas to keep the peace towards the headirorough and landlord. The prisoner, .Murtough O'Donrrran, thanked the Chairman and his Counsel, and retired with Mrs. trl)onovan in triumph. POLICE. BO W-STR E ET.. Mr. Austin, a livery-stable keeper in Windmill-street, Hay market, Applied for a variant to apprehend a young man residing in the City, for stealing a horse, gig, and harness, value 90 guineas. The name of the young man was not mentioned publicly, but he was stated to be the son of a widow lady of the highest respectabi lity in the vicinity of Clicapside. It was stated by Mr. Austin that, several weeks ages, the young man its question applied to him to hire a horse and gig for three days. observing that he wanted to go a little way into the country, and would return within the time he specified. The applicant con vented to let the horse and gig for three days at las. per day. A considerable time elapsed, and the horse and gig not beisig returned, Mr. Austin began to make inquiries. and applied to the uncle of the young man, &respectable merchant, who said he would take care to ascertain where his nephew was, and he assured 'Mr. Austin C:at the horse and gig were perfectly sate, and would be returned and the hire paid. Days and weeks elapsed, and still Mr. Austin could hear nothing either of the horse and gig or of the pixson who hired is. The uncle put him oil from time to time with various excuses, the last of which was, that his nephew was gone to Brighton, where he was in a very delicate state of health. Ile assured Mr. Austin, however, that he need be under no appre_ hension for the safety of his property, for that he would guarantee its safe return. At length he learned that the horse and gig had been geld by the young man, who hired it, at Brighten, in three or four days after it was taken from ‘Vitidmill-street. The ex cuses made by the uncle were subsequent to the time when the horse and gig were actually sold in Brighton. Mr. Austin, after a great deal of trouble, traced the young man to London, and he ascertained that he was concealed 1:1 the house of his uncle, in the City. lie had tried in vain to get a sight of him: he was still cooped up in the uncle's house. and he believes! the intention of his friends was to send him abroad. out of the reach of many persons who had similar claims upon him with Mr. Austin. Mr. Austin had watched, and haul employed others to watch, the uncle's hou'o, but the young fellow wan too securely caged to be got at. Mr. Austin ascertained that the young man had, within a very short time, sold two other horses and gigs at Brighton. Ile had been living for a considerable time (at intervals) at Brighton. and was well known there as a dashing young man, who in a very short time had squandered a large sum of money. The Magistrate, upon this statement of Mr. Austin, Wait. tliately granted a warrant foe the apprehension of the young man, and it was put into the hands of llohnan, a patrol. The warrant was backed by the Lord Mayor, but it was found impossible to get at the young delinquent, and he still remains au stmt. He is only 21 years of age. There is no hope of apprehending him, and Mr. Austin, we believe. must rest contented with his loss, for he has several times refused otters of compromise made by the family of the young man. HATTON-GARDEN. _ _ Y estenhiv If.

'But a few days ago, another sea-pot was steel) out of a house in Brunswick-square, by a man like the prisoner, who were about selling fruit, (se. and when the servants were engaged in their morning occupations, slipped down stairs, and carried off his plunder.

Hepburn, the prosecutor, who is • man nearly 110 years of age, recapitulated his former evidence, as to a man coming behind him on the night of the 21st of August last, in 1/A2ll*y-street, who knocked him down by giving him a violent blow nn the head, and robbed him of his watch, as he lay in an almost senseless state. Mr. Harris, a pawnbroker. of Tothill.street, produced a watch which the prisoner pawned at his shop on the 10th of September. Hepburn identified the watch as the one of which he was robbed; but he could not positively swear to the person of the prisoner. Mr. Mener.erin—Young Oliver, you stated on your former examination that you bought this watch of a person named Turpin, and that you had evidence of that fact? Oliver—l hare a witness to prove what I asserted was true. A young fellow was brought into the offset, and said his name was Edwards wl:o recently was in custody himself on a charge of burglary), and he, on being interrogated by the Magistrate, denied that ever he saw the prisoner buy a watch of Term or any other Young Oliver hero declared. that the witness he had called had sworn falsely to save Turpin, who was his companion. Alfred Pople, the officer, stated, that there was a man confined in Tothill-fields gaol toe an assault, who was ready to make oath that he was present when the prisoner bought the watch of Turpin. Another officer stated, that when he apprehended the prisoner, he said that he purchased the watch of a man in the street, to whom ho was an utter stranger. Mr. 31en ELAND said, that he had made up his mind to commit the prisoner to Newgate for trial, and expressed his sorrow that the father of the prisoner should have set him so bad an example, and hare led him to associate with the wont and most vicious of Oa. rasters. The prisoner, on leaving the office, declared his innocence of the robbery. Mr. MAUR LAND said that his connexion with such well known characters as Turpin, was a proof that he was leagued with re. puted thieves. He was then conveyed to Newgato. Three men, named Barton. Aforgan. and Marlin, were char with being concerned in committing a burglary at the house of Mr. Neylor, St. Ormond's.hill, Westminster. Part of the stolen property was found on the day after the rob bery, at Martin's house, Pye-street, Westminster. Pople said the hoube was what by the thieves was called a frees, and produced the property, which was identi fi ed by .Mr . and Airs. Naylor. Martin said that his wife, in his absence, bought the property of the prisoner Morgan, who left a dark lantern at the same unlit, and she did not know the property was stolen. Mr. 'M ARK LAND--Yours is a very curious BM of a house, Mr. Martin., for if any thing is found it is taken to your shop for sale; if any thing is stolen, or lost, the parties go to your shop to in. quire for it; and your house could not have obtained this notoriety without some cause. Martin was committed to Newgate for trial for the robbery, and the other prisoners were remanded. LAMBETII-STREET. CArTION TO FIRE asEw.--Yestenlay • complaint was beard before J. HIRDWICRE, Esq. made by two firemen, named John Morris and Peter Warren, belonging to the County Fire Office, against James Wyatt. residing at Limehouse Hole Stairs, the chimney of whose house was on fire on Sunday last, for refusing to par them the usual reward. Mr. Bond. living in the neighbourhood, stated, that observing a large body of black smoke issuing irom the chimney, and seeing Morris, he informed hint of the circumstance. John Morris deposed, that on being informed there was a job for him, he instantly left hisboat, and repaired to the house; on entering ht perceived a iflanket, or something else, tixtd against the fire place. he then went to the top of the house, where he found Wyatt with a ladder; he assisted in putting the fire out, and be. fore he left the house he saw all was safe. Peter Warren said he met Morris, who told him of the fire; he ran off for the first engine he could pmeure, sod in about an hour after he brought one belonging to the Globe. Mr. Hancock here begged to he sworn; he ...id he lived within two doers of Mr. Wyatt, and had considerable property on his premises, and as there was a large quantity of timbtr adjoining to their dwellings, he was naturally anxious to render every as. alatanee. What fire there was, was put out within ten minutes of its breaking out; and, as to the engine, it did not arrive for up• wards of an hour and a half afterwards. Mr. II ARDWICCZ animadverted in very strong langnuge on the conduct of Morris, who, from his own words, had certainly no claim to any reward, ho having acknowledged that on quitting the house he left all safe ; but meeting Warren, sent him for an en. gine. The worthy Magistrate considered it a gross attempt at itn, position, and not a farthing should be allowed them; and, in future, on a similar application, he should narrowly examine into the case before be gave any decision. MELANCHOLY CIRCUMSTANCE. On Wednesday last an inquest was taken at Steaford, befogs GEO. WHITE, (stilt Coroner, on the body of a person unknown, who died under the following circumstances:— Mr. John Pridgeon, on going to his clove at the south end of Sleaford, in the parish of Quarrington, on Saturday last, saw a man lying under the hay-stack, and asked him what he was doing there, but received no ansrer. The man was lying on the sunny side of the stack, and Mr. Pridgeon thought he was taking his rent. Mr. Pridgeon went to his close again on the Sunday afternoon, and found the same man then lying in the hovel: he asked him to get up and go home with him, as he thought he must want something to eat by that time, but could obtain no answer. He left him lying down in the hovel, and on going again on Mon. day afternoon found him in the same place ; he spoke to him again, but still received no answer; then on his return to Sleaford, meeting with Charles Allis, Esq., a neighbouring Magistrate, he related the circumstance to him, who directed Pridgeon immedi ately to apply to the parish °dicers, to get the poor man taken care of. Ile accordingly applied to the constaWe and overseer of Quer rington' who with great promptitude went to the man, ordered a medical gentleman to attend him, and had him removed to the nearest public-house (Mr. Banefl's, the Nag's Head), where he was put to bed, and treated with every attention his situation re quired. The medical attendant administered cot and other teems. tires, but without effect, as the titan died about one o'clock the following morning. On searching his pockets, one good halfpenny and two bad ones were found upon bins, but no papers or other thing to lead to a knowledge of who lie was or where lie came from. On further inquiry, it appeared that he had been seen on Friday last very wet, by the side of the road in the parish of Quarringten, and was recommended to apply to Mr. Brown, of that plate, fur relief, but he made no such application. He was also seen on the Monday morning preceding, at a public house in Slinford, where he called for halt a pint of ale, and sat and dried himself, being then very wet. Ile said he had been working at Kline, and had get on the wrong side of the river, and from his conversation he was taken to be an Irishman. The Jurr returned a verdict, that " The person unknown died from the effects of cold, brought on by the inclemency of the wea ther, and for want of proper nourishment." The ileCe3t4hl appeared to have been a stout man, between for ' and fifty years of age; he had a remarkably stiff black bear d, which was suffered to grow long.—Staoilor , ? :Irercury.
