PRESTON GUILD. intwurrw DAY, MONDAY, stigma= 9. This belay the day appointed fur the ascent of Mr. Living nova in • balloon, an immense number of people filled the 'own at a very early hour in the morning. At six o'clock he firing of cannon announced that Mr. Livingston was de. (ermined to ascend on that day. The balloon, which was calculated to contain 16,000 cubic feet of gas, was placed is a temporary building for the purpose of inflation. To this building pipes had been laid from the Gas Compaey's works, fur supplying (gratuitously) the carbonated bydroge• gas. Theflags were raised on the churches, and at eight o 'clock the second cannon was discharged, to iaiimate that the infla tion had cutnesenced. The weight of the car, grappling-Woos. and apparatus, was 24011 m.; the aeronaut, 1261b5.; together, 7461b5. By ekesn o'clock the space round the balloon was occupied by upwards of 700 persona, unsay of them the most distinguished in the country; nod the proportion of elegant females was very great. The wind being somewhat boister ous several of Mr. Livingsion's friends expressed •pprehee sums for his safety; but be fearlessly determined to ascend, sooner than disappoint the expectations of the company. The public began to be somewhat impatient about two o'clock; at list time the rook of the adjoining buildings, sad every cosspicuous situation in the town were crowded with specta tors. At haltpast two, the end of the building having been' removed, the balloon was brought forward into the open space, and had a very grand appearance. A circle was then formed, and the colours were presented by the beautiful Couotess of Wilton, mad Mrs. Atkinson, representative of the Lady Mayoress. The last canoota was now fired, the intrepid aeronaut entered the car in high spirits, sad at 20 minutes before three the balloon rose majestically to a considerable height, nesrly perpendicular, clearing the roofs of the buildings, and presenting a most sublime appearance, Pecomeseied by the cheering acclamations of 10,000 voices. It took ao ly direction, and was visible for about six minutes, when it was for a short time obscured by the clou.la. It again broke forth, and rising still higher, with the sun beams playing full upon it, had a very beautiful effect. Its progress was not rapid but steady, and at about five ninnies past three it was seen descending, supposed to be is the neighbourhood of Blackburn. It appears that Mr. Living mos, finding he was fast gaining spun rising ground, and belay desirous of descending ou a level, when he bad been about teeoty minutes in the air, al about the height of three miles, he opened the valve, when the halloos for some time descended gradually until it was near the earth. Mr. Livingston then perceived that be was on the slope of • valley; he therefore threw all his weight upon the valve, and descended with great rapidity, throwing out his grays pling.iron ns he came to the ground. A few minutes after three o'clock he fell in a field between Stonyburst and Blackburn. The balloon was dragged over two or three fields, when three husbandoten tan to his swistente, anJ suc ceeded in throwing the grappling. iron round • tree, but the wind was so strung that the tree was torn up by the roots; another man, in attempting to hold the halloo down by the ropes, bad his hands completely scarified. At length, after several dreadful rebounds from the earth, Mr. Livingston we§ thrown out of the car, at the height of eighteen feet from the ground, •nd fell upon his side, which was mach bruised. The balloon it was impossible to secare, and it rose again, and was d i ire. in the direction of Ibe German Ocean, distant about 120 miles; there is reason, however, to hope that it will descend before it crosses Yorkshire, when no doubt it sill be returned to its owner. Mr. Livingston 'owned to Preston next morning, much fatigued, sad lac g from the bruise on his side.

After Mr. CAusitwa's visit to the Indio House on Saturday. it was currently rumoured that the Mar quis of lIASTiNns would continue to be Governor- Geom.! at Calcutta.—/ Evening Paper.) The Marqnis of ANGLESEY is spoken of us likely be npphinled Governor General of India.— ( Evening Paper.) Letters have arrived in Portsmouth from persons who emigrated thence to the United States, dated from Cincinnati, Hamilton County, State of Ohio, so recently as the 25th of July last, having been only forty-three days io the Vomit, though the above place is nearly seven hundred miles from the sea-port of Baltimore. One writer says, " This State is very thickly settled ; you can travel la n o direction ten miles from Cincinnati without tiling through some country towns. Vast quan ta's's of produce are raised in the State, and con siderably of it brought here to market, and sold at very reduced prices.

J. L. Fisher, the gatekeeper at the Regent's Park, deposed, that on the Nat of August he saw the deceased, with K lady, cross from the Park crescent. when a gig came full upon them; the horse was gslloppto►t : the lady was straick and her bonnet knocked off; the deceased less knocked down and the wheel went over him. Witness saw the gig after the accident, and the driver had either got out or been thrown out, fur no person was therein. The deceased was brought into the lodge; he was much hurt ; he was first luid ou witness's bed, and was afterwards carried to Middlesex Hos pital on a shutter. Wittiest could not say that the Prisoner at the bar was the man who was in the chaise. John Jones, a shoemaker, was near the Regent's Park at the time the accident happened. The Pri soner, who was driving, appeared intoxicated ; he rolled about in the gig ; witness saw him strike the hor.e several times, first on one side, and then ou the other ; the horse was gallopping ; witness was nut close to him when the accident happened, bat saw the man afterwards lying on the ground, and assisted in carrying him to the hospital. Francis Steele was riding in the New-road on the day the accident happened. lie first saw the chaise near Wurren-street, about four or five hun dred yards from the spot where the accident hap pened. Time horse was gallopping all the time. 'Ube Prisoner was the person who was driving the gig. He was thrown out at the time the wheel . went over the dece ase d. Th e Prisoner was leaning buck in the chaise, holding the reins very tight. He was going in • zig zag direction ; and though he was nut in the act of striking the horse, the whip occasionally touched him, from the motion of the chaise. The horse appeared to the witness as if running slay. He had only a mane bit, which the witness did not think sufficient. After the ac cident witness rode by the ride of the Prisoner to Baker-street. where he went into a public-house, and witness then asked him for his address, which he gave. He appeared much intoxicated. Crors.exanained by Mr. ALLEY.—The witness did not know that the Grind Jury threw out the bill, and that this proceeding is under the Coroner's inquest only. Mr. Thomas Wood, house surgeon of Middlesex Hospital, recollected the deceased being brought into the Hospital. Several of his ribs were fractur ed; he lived about an hour alter he came in. Wit ness opened the body after his death; he found five ribs were fractured, and • considerable quantity of blond was lodged in the chest and abdomen. The case for the prosecution (ming closed, the Prisoner delivered in • written defence, which was read by the clerk. He regretted the melancholy accident, for which he was noways blameable. as he solemnly assured . the Court and Jury that lie was not at all intoxicated at the time. He had been engaged all day en business, and after having been to see his daughter, who was on a visit at a lady's, lie was returning home, when just as he had passed Tottenham-court-rood the belly-band broke, and the horse became umin3anageable. He endeavoured to restrain him but was unable, and so far from whipping the horse. lie held the reins with both his hands. From the effects of the fall he was stunned and senseless, which might have induced the belief he was intoxicated. The following witnesses were then called : Miss Rawlins deposed that the Prisoner's daugh ter was on a visit at her home. The Prisoner came a little before stir, and quitted after the clock had struck six, at which time he was perfectly sober. He drank nothing while at witness's house. Richard Steele stated that he was on the New Road at the time the accident happened, and see ing the horse coming along furiously, he stood still, sod heard the Prisoner call out three or four times to the deceased. The Prisoner was using every effort to stop the horse; he was sitting firmly on the seat and leaning back, and holding the reins with both his hands. The Prisoner was thrown out of the gig about three yards after he had passed the deceased; he was much hurt, his forehead was grazed, and the back of his hands wounded. He was perfectly sober, though lie seemed stunned, and his mind seemed to wander. lie staggered a little when he was first picked up. Elizabeth Lee, who keeps a fruit-stall near the gate of the Regent's Park, saw the accident hap pen. The Prisoner was sitting back in the chaise, pulling the horse as hard as he could. The horse's mouth was wide open, and the belly-band unloose, flapping about his legs. John C oulson, porter at the lodge of the Re gent's Peak, saw the accident happen. The Pri soner at the time was pulling his horse with all his force, bat be appeared unmanageable; the belly band b!tP between his legs ; he thought the Pri *is Oita sober . , as he sat as stilly as possible on the seat, pulling with both his bands. Mary Coulson, Sensate! Bias, and J. Cowhand corroborated the evidence of the last witness. The Rev. Dr. Draper, R. S. Young, Esq., Sir R. Baker, and other respectable witnesses, gave the Prisoner the highest character for humanity, so briety, mud carefulness us a driver. The Foreman of the Jury intimated to the Judge it was unoecessary to sum up, as the Jury were perfectly sa►isfed. Mr. Justice BEST said, he should have stopped the cause before, but it was necessaiy to have the fullest evidence, not to enable the Jury to come to • verdict, but for the sake of the character of the accused, ■nd it was due to the Prisoner to state, that • better character uo Mall ever left that Court with. if a man got into a gig in ■ state of intoxi cation, and his horse ran away with him from his in capacity to manage i►, and death ensued, that was manslaughter. He took it for granted the Jury were ready to say the Prisoner wits not intoxicated. Mr. F. Steele, and the other witness, had no doubt given • fair account of what they had of ved, but it was well known that fear would produce similar effect, to intoxication. The Jury, without a moment's hesitation. re turned a verdict of /toe Guilty. John Levy was indicted for stealing from the -:~i ~~~ isi~ person of gsmuel Jones a silver watch and las. in ' silver. Samuel Jones, a journeyman miller, deposed that on the night of the Ist or July, lie was at a dance it the Castle public-house at Islevrorth; he danced With a person named Sarah Spruce; lie left there with her about two o'clock in the morning, and went op ‘Valpole-lane; wilco lie had got one hundred yards 00 the lane he saw three men running very fast abreast; and when they came up one of them struck witness, and u man on each side held his arms down while the third man drew his wat.•h from his fob and about 14s. or 16r. in silver out or his pocket, with wlUch they runaway towards Twicken ham. The watch had a metal seal, uf little value. He was quite sure the Prisoner was one of the three; he was the man who drew the watch ou t of his pocket. Witness saw the Prisoner before at the public house, and as he went up the street before he turned into the lane he also saw him standing with two other men, but he could not say if they were the men who afterwards held him. He was perfectly sober at the time. Cross-examined by Mr. A unaews—Fle did after he was robbed go into the street and laid hold of a man whom he thought was one of the robbers, but was convinced afterwards lie was mistaken and let the man go; lie did tell the woman Spruce that she must go back with him as she must know them. Sarah Spruce examined.—Witness was at the Castle on the day mentioned in the indictment, and danced with the last witness, and was positive the Prisoner was one of the three men who robbed him. John Webb, constable,apprehended the Prisoner on the 4th of July, at his residence on Twickenham Common. He came the day before to his house to surrender himself; it was not till the 6tb July the Prisoner was taken before the Magi►trate. The Prisoner. when called upon for his defence, denied all knowledge of the transaction. Two witnesses, • man and woman, were called, who swore they were in company with the Prisoner from kslf-past twelve till four o'clock in the morn ing at the Castle, during which time he was never out of their sight for three minutes at a time. Mr. Justice Itrcw•aosou summed up the evi dence, and left it to the Jury to say which set of witnesses they would give credit te. The Jury, after sonic deliberation, returned • verdict of Guth'. POLICE. GUILDHALL. THE BITER BIT; OR, BEING ROBBED AN ADVANTAGE. Yesterday Edward Mahatma, a robost•louking fellow, about forty year. of age, was charged with robbing a Lady, on Saturday evening last, la Fleet.market. Mrs. Mary Anoa Morgan, wife of Thomas Morgan, resit. lag at No. 4, Francis-street, Gray's Inn-road, stated, that about half-past eight o'clock on Saturday evening she was going through Fleet-market, when her progress was stopped by three meu, who hustled her; ■s soon as she got disen gaged from them, she found that her gown, petticoat, and pocket were cut, sod that her pocket-book was gone; it con tained eleven or twelve duplicates. As soon as she missed it, she went to one pawnbroker to acquaint him of the cir maawance, and to request that he would stop the duplicate et the article pledged with him, if it was °Geed to be re deemed. About eight o'clock tis that monolog abe went to Mr. Turner's, pawnbroker, Srydges-street, Covent-gardeo, and she learned that the Prisoner had been there as soon as the shop was opened, and redeemed four metal table spoons, three silver teaspoons, a pair of silver sugar.tungs, and a pair of topes ear-rings, her property. She then west to Page's, pawnbroker, Long-acre, and found tbst the Priaoner had only left there twenty minutes before, after having redeemed a gold brooch sad ring, her property. She then proceeded to Loveday'r, pawnbroker, Gray's lan•road, and was informing bin of her loss, when the Prisoner entered the Asti!), and produced two duplicates to redeems some articles of her pro perty. She was convinced that the Prisoner was oue of the men that hustled her is Fleet•market. John Blake, a constable or St. Pnneras parish, stated, that he saw a crowd on that day in Gray's lon road, when he saw Mrs. Morgan and the Prisoner; she charged him with having robbed bee; he took the Prisoner into custody, and brought him to a publie.howse, where be searched him, and found ou him the property which he had redeemed from the pawn• brokers. lie produced the articles, with two sovereigns, 11. 16a. is silver, four duplicates, and the pocket-hook be. longing to Mr■. Morgan ; be also found ow bin a valuable watch, which he bad uu doubt be bad stolen. Mrs. Margins identified the duplicates, and the articles produced, to be her property. The Prisoner, iu his defence said, he found the pocket book st balf-past ten o'clock on Saturday night, !put on the pavement at the corner of Slime Cutter-street, in Fleet. market. Alderman Cox committed the Prisoner to Nengate for trial, and recommended Mrs. Morgan to go before the Grand Jury fortlissith, anJ have a bill found against the Prisoner. The P.isoner, on his way to Newest', attempted to make his escape, and handled the officer. very roughly, bot was, however, safely lodged. He will be tried this &visions, and if convicted, Mrs. Morgan will be entitled to the articles be redeemed. BOW-STREET. Yesterday William Comer, a boy about thirteen years of age, was brought tip in esistody of William Woodbury, one of the patrol, charged with stealing 'flees scutcheons from the area gates of different boosts in Gower-street, Bedford square. Woodbury stated, that oboist eight o'clock yesterday morning be observed the Prisoner in Gower-street doing something to the luck of an area gate; Woodbury went up to hint, took hold of him, and found a stutcbeon in his hand belonging to the luck of the gate, and its his pockets fifteen other scutehrons, and • large sail which had been used in forcing them off. Another boy was sees by the patrol, who ap peared to be acting in the same way as the Prisoner, hut he got off, and it is supposed with a great number of scutcheuns about him, a/ fifty or sixty area gates in that street were divested of thr m. The Prisoner was committed. It is understood that a regulation is in process at the Treasury Board, to allow the discharged Qom tertnen of his MAJESTY'S Dock-yards, who will not accept the situation of singlesstation men, to be superannuated on the graduated scale of 1813; by which the junior Quartermen will have about 38/., and the svmor 751. per annum. Among the various occurrences during our races. we have to notice an assault made upon Mr. MYTTON ■nd Mr. BETTY (the celebrated Roecius). These gentlemen were walking in the street oppo site the George Inn about one o'clock on Wedges. day morning (11th inst.), when four insolent fellows hustled and insulted them ►n various ways. Mr. MYDron's hat was knocked off; and one of the men snatched Mr. BETTY'S watch out of the fob, but having a safety chain attached to it, the villain failed iu his object. Mr. MYTToM seized one of the men and held him until the patrol came, when lie was conveyed to the gaol; the others effected their escape.—( Lichfield Mercury ) MINA :~.: . -; hi?i: • , Last evening, about half-past eight o'clock, en exterisiie fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Hales, manufacturer, in Bermondsey New. rood. There being for some time is great scarcity of water, and the premises principally consisting of sheds, the fire spread with considerable rapidity, and c ((((( municating with a number of small cot tages, occupied mostly by persons employed in the manufactory, presented a scene of awful splendour. Before the engines could g,et into full play, it had also communicerted its devastating ravages to the timber-yard of Mr. Llsir, and continued to burn with increased fury until near twelve o'clock, but was subsequently subdued by the great exertions of the firemen. The loss sustained must be immense, as the place exhibits an entire waste. THE ARMY. RELATIVE. RANK Alm PRECEDENCE (osatcrrtie PT °Kota) or OFFICERS or ?n■ ARMY any NAVY.
