The crier having announeeal that the balloon wouta ascend at three, a very large ats.eaublage of persons L oon collected on the adjoining hills and in the gardens. and carriages of every ilescAption were hurrying towards the grounds, and the windows of every contiguous house were crowed with ladies.

The weights that were previously attached t the netting were taken off, and me n were permitting the balloon gradually to rise. The balcony of the Saloon, t h e Saloon itself, the Ileading-toom, atrl the ground betide the inclosurc, were crowded with spoetators. A band of music esilisened the scene, and expectation marked every counte nance. At thirty-five minutes past three o'clock the pilot balloan was sent up ; it took a north-westerly direction, and was hailed by the slic^tctors as an eaniest of tl:c early ascension of Mr. Graham.

Between seven and eight on Friday ainht, the hearse, in ersequence. missed slowly through that town, hollowed by the ettaise, in which were Mr. Armatrong and 31rs. Sadler. A re. gum was made from the Commercial Inn, there, where the Corn. miner to conduct the ascent had before met, that the hearse should atop t:w a short time to enable them and other gentlemen to assemble, who were desirous to accompany him through the town; bnt. owing to Mrs. Sadler's distressed state of mind, tt wan deemed prudent to rotted without daisy.

The reign of JaMet the sixth of Scotland and First of England may be said tt. have !Kam the witchcraft ape of (,'rear Britain. Scotland had always been a sort of fairy lard: but it remained fur that sagacious prince, at a time wh..n knowlelge %ca. , bei;inning to dispel ths mists of su. per,tition, to etna:ilAite, by his authority and wahines, to resolve a prejudize of education into an article of religious belief among the Soettish p , plc. Ile wrote and published a " Treatise on wtetunnologie;" the purpose of which was, to " resolve the doubthig hearts of litany, as to the fearful abounding of these detestable slaves of the devil, witches or enchanters." The tuthority of 13miptitre was pet verted, to show net only the possibility, but certainty, that such "detestable sla‘s•s" do exist; and many most ridiculous stories of evil enchantment were addimai to establish their " fearful abotniling." The treatise, which is hi the form of a tliatir,ae, then proceeds to treat of the punishment which such crimes deserve: " I'. Then to make an entle of our conference, !mice I see it drnwis katt, what forme of punishment think ye merites this maAieiens end witehts? for I see that ye ac count them to Le all alike gyltie. "R.

None a all." - - - Su-h, in tact, was the cruel and barbarous law of James's native country ; and such became die law also of Eng land when he succeeded to the sceptre of Elizabeth. Many hundreds of unfortunate intraitluals in both countries be came ha victims, suffering death ignominiously for an im pois...!tic offence: neither sex, nor age, nor rank, as James had sternly enjoined, were spared; and it was precisely the most helpless and inoffensive, such as aged and lone woinen, who w e re most expowd to its malignant operation. Of those who have suffered death fur witchcraft in 11:hain by far the greeter number have been persons of the lasi description. The absurdity of a law, so long since consigned to ' universal execration, stands in need Of no illustration ; but it iney furnish amusement as well as instruction, to peruse the sort of details which pint d it fer a time the respect and a.uLinies;on from two nations which now rank as the meet enlightened in Europe. 'lice following is a literal copy of the indictment of certain witches of Borros towness, who were viol and executed as late as 1G79. Four of the unfortunate creatures were poor widows.

Old Chancellor Forteacue's boast, that England con tained more rubbers and mourderets than any oilier coun try, is so curious, that it is well worth f.,eivinj entire:— " Parertie onely is not the case, why the Commons of France rise not agcyn their Soveryng Lord ; fer there were never people in that lond more pore, than wt r in our tome; the comnons of the counttey of ("nut, which was almost deserte for lack of tyllara ; as yt now wel apperith, by the new husbondrye that ys tie:me titer; namely, iu grobbing and stockyng of trees, buslitri, and gruvys, growyn, whte we were Cher, Lorth: of the countrey.

There be therefor mo wren bangyd in Englond, in a year, for robberyc and inftnslanghter, than timer be banged in Fraunce, for such eatie of crime, in seven years. There is no man hangyd in Scotland in seven yers together for robberyc; and vet thay be often tymeshangyd for lacenye and stelyng of goods in time absence of the owner thereof; but their harts scry them not to take a mannys goods while he is present, and Will defend it; which maner of takyn is rdlid robberye.

About ten days ago, a man, calling himself Mr. Watson, from Liverpool, accompanied by a female, visited l)unkeld, *ith a horse and gig. During their stay, the female uni formly drove the gig, and managed the horse, both in and out of the stable, with all the tact of a thorough-bred groom ; while her companion visited the manufacturers in Dunkeld and Perth, anti gave. large orders for goods, which he meant to send to the West Indies, where, he said, he had a large estate. Ile drew on the Perth Bmik for I soh, but the Batik having become suspicious, sent to Dunleld, and recovered the greater part of their money. Ile gave bills fer various sems on the Bank of Sir William Forbes and Compaoy, all of which were returned dis honoured. The impostor and the woman have since es caped, leaving several persons in Mulch' to lament the credulity which Ind them to trust him. Ile has not since been traced.—Fold Parer. On Saturday morning a riot took place in North College street, occasioned by the body of a woman having been obseived lying on a table, in a shed, by some boys who were clambering on the roof. As the shed communicated with the College by a suhtcrraneous passage, it was iin tnedigely concluded that the body had been exhumatcd, and was intended for dissection. An alarm was instantly given, and, it being breakfast hour, a great aowdof trades men speedily collected, who proceeded to force the door, which opened into the shed, which they soon effected, with the aid of hammers. A ptrty of policemen arrived at the time, who put the body into a sack, and conveyed it to the police office.. The mob, .in the mean time, proceeded to explore the passage which led to the College, under the impression of finding some other corpse, but in this they were misfitken. They, however, got hold of one or two stuffed figures in the form of thehuman bode ' used in the anatomical lectures, which they brought to the street, and hauled about for some time, till they were taken from them by the pace. A strong body of officers, with considerable difficulty, cleared the passage end the shed of the mob, who, however, continued in the street for a considerable time. The police arrived very opportunely as, from the threate...: appearance of the web, muc h damage might have soon been committed on the preparations in the College, had they not been checked in their attempt to break in. The body *as that of an old woman ; and although it lay till last night at the police office, it was not claimed, but rat subtequently buried in the Greyfriars' church-yard.— Edinburgh Puler. Env GT. eas.--On Monday night a party of smugglers attempted to run cargo of spirits at p arty Gap, but were prevented by the Coast Blockade, who seized thirty tubs ; seven were afterwards found staved, and two Wen found in the adjoining fields. The cargo consisted of only forty-two tubs. A man, who was seen loitering about a short time afterwards, was taken, but the officer on duty considering there was some doubt whether he belonged to the party of smugglers, liberated him. At two o'clack in the afternoon of the 29tli ult. two beats, the Robert of Bexhill, and the Try, of llastinp, put to sea from Ear -1 bottrne, as it was supposed, upon a smuggling expedi tion. They proceeded in company to the Horse Bank, weighed 2$ half-ankers of foreign spirits, which hail been previously sunk there, and at three on the following morn tr., at high water, they landed under the high cliffs at Crow link, and attempted to haul the tubs up by a pulley, line, 1 , and baskets. 'Being interrupted by the Coast Blockade sentinel, the boat put off to sea, and rink sixteen tubs off the spot. The pursuit of the Coast Blockade, however, was so active, that before eight o'clock the same morning, the eight tuba landed had been seized, six of them with a horse and cart and dark lantern, at Jerington. by Prior, a riding officer ; the pulley, rope, and baskets were seized en the cliff by Mr. Webber, a Deputy Quarter-master of the Coest Blockade ; and the two boats, with their gear com plete, and tubs, fell into the hands of Mr.:tenant Chsppell, and have been safely I.)llged in the Custom-house a: New haven. We state this case the more fully, to slier the lendable zeal, Vigilance, and activity of the Coast Blockade partite, and in itself it may Imre to evince their utility upon the coast, notwithstanding the prejudices attempted to be excited re;.ainst them by the growling, of the Whig C:i ronir:e.—Bri;;Llnn A general dissatisfaction the price of work seems to prevail in Scotland. We have seen a letter from Ilawiek, which states that the frame-work knitters in thrt town have ap-reil to strike; and have adopted the following plan:—'The hands employed by the different houses de termine, by ballot, who shall strike work first, and those who continue to work shall contribute towards their sup port. The lot has fallen upon one of the most extensive factories in that place. The quarrel seems to be the em ployers demanding more work without giving any advance price.—Glasgow Parer. EXTRAORDINARY PRDESTRIANS.--An English pellet, trian, named Hngh Russell, undertook, on Saturday last, to walk forty English miles in tight and a half success:re hours, which task he performed within eight hours, being half an hour short of the stipulated time. Ile chose a part of the read near the extremity of the town, which termi nated at the gate of a gentleman's demesne, and treasured exactly half a mile. 'r he only motive for this extraordi nary performance was an cmrctation of bring remunerated by the rpectators ; the petlestr'an is only nineteen years of age. An Irish lad named Byrne, was employed, a short time ago, by a gentleman in this town, to deliver some par cels at Enniscorthy, in the county Wexford, which is 27 miles from Carlow. He left home at three o'clock in the morning, delivered his messages, and returned back the same day, ari:ving at Carlow at eight o'clock in the even ing, having walked fifty-four Irish, say sixty-nine Eng milts in thirteen and a half successive hours; a:lowing him only one bast hour to refresh himself and transact business.—Carlow Post.
