BARR ETT' s BALLOON. SWANSEA, OCT. ss.—About a fortnight ago Mr. BARRETT intended ascending in his Balloon, but not being then furnished with sufficient mate.. rials to inflate it, he deferred it till a future period, being in hopes, through the liberality of the Pub lic, who had never witnessed any thing of the kind in this part of the country, to obtain every necessary article : individual exertion and the sup_ port of the Public- were not wanting; and Mr. BARRETT, through these means, about eight o'clock this morning, began to inflate his balloon ; but although the inflation continued from that time till four in the evening, it was not above half full. The casks were supplied with every necessary ticle, and the inflammable air seemed to be con ' veyed in an abundant quantity through the tubes, and yet the balloon continued in an imperfed state : there was no doubt a fault in the machine itself, for the gass must have escaped, owing to the silk being badly connected. A few minutes after four, the car being attached to the balloon, every spec_ tutor was filled with anxious expedation, and the surrounding hills were covered with multitudes, when the Aeronaut took his seat. The signal was given to set it at liberty, but it had no inclination to ascend; Mr. BAxitsrr then threw out a quantity of ballast, and at last the whole. The Balloon then ascended, but with no 'rapidity, and not going above twenty yards in, height, he descended among a row of trees. Through ‘the exertion of the po pulace, the Aeronaut aniyhis Balloon were drawn again into the plain, and it had a fair opportunity of re-ascending ; but it still came down, and Mr. BARRETT, evidently. despairing of success, at last quitted his seat, and set the Balloon off itself. It then ascended to a very considerable height, and after remaining up nearly an hour, descended about four miles from this place, where it was taken up by twulakurers, who, thinking they could make a better use of it than Mr. BARRETT, went through the simple operation of cutting it in two, each taking his half. This is the third rime Mr. BARRETT has failed in his attempt in the science of Aerostation. On Sunday night, a young man of the name of Stewart, of Union_street, Blackfriars, returning from Brompton to town, was stopped and robbed by two footpads, who also beat hiM unmercifully . with their bludgeons. On Friday morning last, about eleven o'clock, a Lady, with a child in her hand, walking along the fields from Church-street, Stoke Newington, to Newington Green, was stopped by a man in a sailor's dress, who presenting a pistol to her breast, robbed her of about 'twenty-five shillings, and then made off over the hedge towards the Palatine Houses. A Gentleman at a short distance off saw the transaction, but not suspeding the robbery, (till 'explained by the Lady, whom he shortly over took) the villain unfortunately made his escape. On Saturday a child of two • years of age was killed on the Hampstead Road, by the wheels of a timber cart, the driver of which was riding on the shaft, passing'over its head. Friday evening, about five o'clock, as John Foxley was coming from Stoney-Stra tford • to-Denskanger, he was met by two men near Puxley, who derna . nd_ ed his money, and robbed him of about eight pounds in cash and notes, and. a metal watch t they after:. wards made off into an adjoining wood. • Burglaries are become extremely frequent in the vicinity of the. Metropolis, and in none more fre quent than in the villages of Peckham, Camberwell, Newington, and Deptford. Scarcely a night passes, but either an outhouse, a garden ground, or a house is robbed. I`. IANSIOA.HO6SE, DARING ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY. Yevrsit DAY the nian whom we menticieM to have made an attempt on Saturday evening, upon the property and life of Mr. Maryan; at his house in I°o - bard-Street, was brought before the Lord Mayor. Mr. itiebard Maryan, deposed, ,that .he keeps a Silversmith's-shop, at No. 44., Lomliard_street, and .that about half past five o'clock on Saturday even ing, as he was sitting behind his codn t er, a man , (who is the Prisoner) came into the shop, imme_ diately opposite to him on the other side the coun ter, pulled a pistol.out of the breast of his waist coat, and presented it to his (Mr. Maryan's head at about a yard and a. hall distance, at the same time saying " - yotit money ;' , -.l9.whielt request IVIr. Maryan, with some astonishment replied, What !" The Prisoner repeated his demand. Mr. Maryan in answer said he had none. The Prisoner then, in a more peremptory torte of voice, said, " Your money," ,putting the pistol much nearer to Mr, Miteyan's body ; at the instant of his making the last demand, and closing the pistol upon Mr. Maryan's person, the shop door was opened by Mr. Francis Miner, who came into the shop and pushed up behind the Prisoner, who on seeing, Mr. Miner pass, turned the pistol w hi c h h e was holding to the breast of Mr. Maryan, and presented it at the had of Mr. Minet, as if to shoot him. Mr. Miner stooped down, and iVlr. Maryan got nearer to the Prisoner with intent to seize him if he fired ; the Prisoner, on observing this motion, presented the pistol to the head of Mr. Maryan, and fired, the muzzle of the pistol not being a foot from his head. At the time Mr: Maryan felt his face burn and tingle, and for the moment thought he received the ball in his head ; but upon pitting his hand to his face and not finding any blood, he recovered his recolleaion sufficiently to pursue the prisoner, who had ran out of the- shop, but whom Mr. Maryan soon got sight of, within about twenty yards of his own door, driving the people before him with a pistol .in his hand. Mr. Maryan fur ther deposed, he was certain the pistol fired at him by the Prisoner was loaded with- ball, as a bullet had entered the patina direaly behind where he stood. Mr. Francis Minet, the younger, df Old Broad street, said, that about half_past five o'clock on Sa turday evening, he was going into the shop of Mr. Maryan, in Lombard_street, when he saw a person in conversation with Mr. Maryan (who he. believes to be the Prisoner) and heard something said about money, from which he immediately concluded the nature of Maryan's situation, and direlly forced himself past the Prisoner, in doing which he jostled him, upon which the Prisoner presented his pistol at him, and from the impulse of the moment he stooped his head, and before he had recovered him self, he heard a pistol go off,. and on looking, saw Mr. Maryan put his hand to his head, and heard him exclaim, 0 God ! from which he conjectured Mr. Maryan was shot in the head ; but, on discovering it not to be so, he joined Mr. Maryan in the pur suit, and saw the Prisoner taken, at which time he had a pistol in his hand, as described by ryan. James Viol, a Hair-dresser, deposed, that being at :work in his master's shop, in Lombard_street, between five and six o'clock on Saturday evening last, he heard the report of a pistol, and immediately after the cry of " stop thief." He 'consequently went to the door, and seeing the Prisoner with a pistol in his hand attempting to run away, he made a spring at him, and pulled the pistol (which he produced) out of his hand. His Lordship then asked the Prisoner his name, and where he came from ? The Prisoner made no reply ; upon which it was hinted to his Lordship, that he would not or could not speak English, but was well versed in the French and Italian languages. He was then interrogated in French, and replied, that he must decline telling his Lordship his name, lest it should, involve in his disgrace a brother who had hitherto borne a good character, and was a very respetable. Merchant of the City of London.— That he himself had been an Officer in the French Service ; that he was a Toulonese ; and had last come from Hamburgh. He had experienced great distress, not having ate any thing since Wednesday last, the day of his arrival . in London. He had expeaed to find his brother ; .but his search having proved fruitless, he was driven to desperation, and in the paroxysms of his_ frenzy had attempted the rash, aftion for "which he had been apprehended.— He had not slept in a bed since he came to London, but had taken up his lodging in an empty house.. He added, that he had received forty guineas from his brother while he was at Hamburgh ; but having staid there till it was nearly expended,' he had arrived in England with only half-a-guinea in his pocket. He knew he had committed a rash aa, - was aware of the consequences of the violation of the laws, was resigned to his fate, and that his Lordship might do with him as he pleased, but he would never divulge his name. His Lordship observed, that whatever might he his unhappy condition, it was yet necessary he should not be altogether regardless of his fate; and if he desired to have a religious instrualor sent to him, it should be complied with ; for though he might be regardless of his existence in this world, yet he should consider that he had to make his peace with the Almighty, whom he had offended by his endeavour to take away the life of a fellow-creature. The Prisoner after this became exceedingly calm and collened, when his Lordship asked the Keeper of the Poultry Compter the reason for putting a straight waistcoat on the Prisoner ? Mr. Tagg replied, that when the Prisoner was brought in on Saturday night, he appeared to be in so tinsettled a state ortniA, that he was fearful of his doing himself harm. He had, however, been visited soon after by a Gentleman of the Roman Church, who had conversed with him, and calmed the perttnbation, he laboured under; to whom he had confessed freely the crime he had committed, adding that lie would die without divulging his name ;' and that distress was the only impulse of his aßion3. Mr. Tagg also stated, that .the Prioner had refused to take any sustenance, excepting a little water, since he was taken into'custody. Mr. Panter, juti, of Idol-lane, sta►ed, that he was robbed few nigilis since 11-a-tori!iver, into hiS ethititing-hotise holding a, pi!•ttil in each, hands exclaiming " Blnc 'Piper," repe:iting th e same words several times over. Being ' , ..n!trcipMy terrified, he had given the mersortie si:ver, lie instantly retired, keepiag Witness till he got 0:1* of the huuce. Mr. Panter, from the dress and appearance of the Prisoner, lieved he might be the same man, but world not swear positively to him. Several other persons.attended,, who stated, that charity had been demanded of them by a person at their own houses, resembling the Prisone'r, as far as related to his being a foreigner ; but as their exa minatiorts were otraed to take t 4) a great length of time, his Lordship ordered the Prisoner to be agar brought up for further-coniimrtion. • ST. PETERSBURGII, SEPT. 24.. Tiii great changes that were expeded,-have now taken place. The whole administration of affairs has received as it were a new forrii ; and the benefi.. cial consequences of the new organization are so evident, that the joy of the public is universal.

OB ER ETZKOPSkI arId'FUSS, hers of the Acadeiny of Sciences: .~ - .. • Yesterday, at the Public-Office, Bow-street,. a man. was put to the Bar, on a charge of committing a footpad robbery. , Samuel Stevens, of New street, Brompton, de posed, that on Monday evening List, about five o'clock; .as he was crossing the fields from Baker_ street to Hampstead, in compony with his wife, he was attacked by the Prisoner, who presented a pistol and demanded his money ; that he deliverei him a metal watch, two shillings, and two six_ pences. Stevens's wife also 'identified the person of the Prisoner, and, with her huShaiirl; was bound over to prosecute him at the next Old Bailey Ses sions. The Prisoner said he could prove being- at ano ther place when the robbery was committed. ' At the Justice Room, Guildhall, on Saturddy, several informations were heard before the Sit ting Alderman, which were laid against a lariner of. the first respectability, charged with selling hay and straw our of Sinithfield-markez, to, tlle great prejudice of the City, and contrary to the Ad of .Parliament for regulating the ‘I - riy.market. • The Aft imposes a heavy fine in case the charge is proved. The informations were laid by a man named Fuller, who ? however, m not appear in person. His` Solicitor, Mr. Bowen, attended,' and Mated, that on the 29th of September, he saw a barge uploading is great quantity of hay and straw near plackfriars,-brid g e .conceiving that thi s hay had noik been properly entered. in the book of Sale in the market, he followed the carts, which conveyed the hay to differene.ions in the City, and learned from the masters of those inns that they had purchased the' hay.of Mr. Richardson, the person alluded' to. ' He accordingly laid the informations on the tith of Oaoher, and they came on to be heard yesterday. - 'ln answer to the charge, the S o li c it or to M r . Richardson' examined the Innkeepers, when it ap.. ,peared that they had agreed for the hay and str aw out of the market ; but each of th em , had purchased the commodity several days prior to the 29th of SePrember, the - day on which the delivery took place. This of course was sufficient to quash the informations, as the Aft expressly states, that all informations relative- to fraud in the sale of hay and straw, must be laid within fourteen days after the purchase. Mr. Bowen told the Magistrate that the frauds pradised in the sale of hay were immense, to the great detriment of the City, and that he was determined to bring forward all those lie found of fending. The Magistrate slid, the Public would be much obliged to ,him : he was sorry thit in the present instance he could not substantiate the charge, but that sitting in his judicial capacity, he wa; bound to dismiss the complaint, as the accused party had proved the sale to be more than fourteen days prior to his laying the informations. The com plaint was dismissed. There are several more which stand over, the parties against whom the info rmat i ons are l a id not being in town.
