►E 7. 10 CAPT,4IN SOWTPDEP:'s ACCOUNT ,OF THE LATE AERIAL E±CURSION. , - As •-1 numberless questions have be en p u t to m e re - - • speeting ihe serisatione I experienced while in' the upper regions, I think it a duty incumbent on me to infor m the Public; and to ,set thein,right as to the erroneous ideas they have of an aerostatic voyage. On our first ascending, we felt "a :few drops of rain. After we. had gained the height of about 3000 feet, I desire&-Mr. GAR NERIN not. to ascend any higher till lie had passed the metropolis, - that the inhabi tants Might be gratified with a frill view of us. 'When we had giat at a small distance : froM London, We ascended through some very thick clduds, of which , I could perceive three diatinft rows, at the lower one of which .we .found the quicksilver of the the'rmometer at is degrees, and I was obliged to pot on my great coat ; but on ascending still higher,. we found the air more temperate, and the quick silver. rise gradually, to 5 degrees above summer heat,. We then seemed to be stationary, and felt no more motion than one would feel in sitting in a chair in a room. then Proposed to Mr. GARNERIN tO overhaul our, lockers, where we found a ham, a 'cold fowl, a cake, and two bottles of drgeat, wines or spirits being dangerous to take; owing to the rare fication of the air.' The chill of the clouds having given us an appetite, we made a•table on our knees with the seats of the car, and ate a very=-hearty inea , b h The clouds t h en di s per s ed from under us, and l i ve . "ad a delightful view of the . cOuntry. Whether "'ing toi the rarefication of, the air, or to the str deteongr ; light thrown on the'eaith, I cannot mine, but I found that my sight, which at all times is rather weak, become so strong, that. I-could easily distinguish, the minutest objeifs o . n 111 e earth.: it aTt3apppoared like a Va panoraina, or .

'Are observed, that almost every sensation I exptieneed while in the upper I - Nit:ons, was exaelly the contrary to what' is the genettl opinion of the I .'nbiic• • I was assured by a number . of the most eelehrated littrat7; who 'pfetended to. be very, learoed o n that subjea, .that I Should- find the told increase, 'the - higher I ascended ; instead of: which, Ifound the brat-: increase to that degree, tiler I was obliged toltake both my great coat and Peket Ott it is also the general opinion, that• looking down fromso stupendous a height renders a P e t's9n so giddy as not to be able to keep his seat on the coot rary, I:found that r c "lci look down with a Iraq deal of pleasure, - and without experiencing that . inconvenience ; Whereas looking Tonna, on the vast c%pan se that surrounded us, rendered my eyes so dim that I was sometimes -a few minutes before I could P er 'eCtly recover my sight. I experienced no tY of breathing, or inconvenience from .the motion a the. Bando n 1. for though we moved with im ,mense velocity, we felt not the least win&or Ares_ ! i n*. of air, i t being So , petfeftly calm,, that the flags s tiv 4 our liandN, 'and th ose w i t h which the Balloon dec orated, hu n g supine,- nor did they stir. that between every row of clouds, not tl'e • the varied several o ne e, ' atmospnete e but wind, .-aree s • •f . • • •• oryl• the first cloud ur on'our passing t ro .Ic.,ving London' the wind, which had before .Ras; earl v S YV d to.

The attraftion hater, the force of the wind, and the constant ts „ ei " ) `' a gas from the valve, hurled us with such city towards the earth, that I expeaed to see his deal }io n verified, ideas at e fied, though I can assure yOu, my that time did not coincide with the answer co rn ei a "` INtlr.

Mr. G:111111,R IN , desired' me to try to regain it, which I at last effedeci by climb'mgu; , into the net, though the force.. of the wind, struck the' tin tubes fastened at the bottom of the Bailoon, and thfutigh which the rope, led, with such violence against my face, that it had nearly stunned ,me.• Flaying recovered,, we re-descended, but were borne With such violence a cros s t h e , country , sometimes alone , the ground; sometimes in the air, that se: veral times proposal to Mr. GAIINEI: I N to abandon the. Balloon, and to save ourselves ; but he conti nually obje'ted to it,. and reminded me of my pro mise not to quit him. In the Mean time," we were,. dashed against several trees, one oi - which had nearly destroyed, us. Being with m y back towards -it, I received a blow on the head, which threw me at full length at the,bottom of the car; Mr.GARNEitiN, in attempting to assist me, Was nearly thrown.over boird ; two of the cords that held the e a r b ro ke, and at the same time some of the branches, tore the Balloon : upon Which Mr. GARiquiiN cried " The Balloon is torn, and we are saved;"-- Another gust of wind disengaged us from the tree, and we touched the ground once more, with a less, violent shock than before. We then both got out, but so exhausted with our' numerous exertions, that we hadbardly - strength to follow the Balloon, which fell again about zoo paces further, when we COM pletely-mastered it, by throwing ourselves upon it; and by that means, pressing out the remainder of the gas. It rained so very hard, that I propoSed to Mr; GARNERIN .to leave the Balloon in the field, and go in search of 'some house for shelter and 'refresh- Ment. We accordingly made the best of our way to a house, which. we espied about half a mile off, be longing to a Mr. liiNGs.BERY; and here a very curious-mistake took place. When we inquired for the Master of the lime, Mr. KINGS/3EIIY appear ed, hut seeing two persons of so - strange an appear anee„:(Mr; GAR trEt IN- having a French hat on, with the National CoCkade, bearing the Tri-colotir.-.., ed . -Flag t ,- :and. , myself .being in a Sailor's dress, with the Union Jack ip my hand), he iniagitied• we ,cameon•accourit of the Eledion before we could iddress him, said, - ".Gentleinel.r, though. I am a Free ntildet",-I,have.inade.a determination not to vote for one side-or-the, other." So much was lie impressed , With this -idea, that it was some time before we could - Make him sensible that we . had . nothifig to do' with the:ZlKlion,but that we came in a Ml loon in three quarters of an hour from: Londtin thit we were very much bruised and - tired, and that we required his assistance and shelter. He then received- us 'in the most hOspitable manner, not only providing Os .with refresfnents. and • dry *_clothes, but even offered us beds, the ,use of his house:and horSes, 'and sent,,i.mtnedia rely sotiie farmers milli. a 'cart, to carry, the'. Balloon from the field, 'and . convey it to a-placeof safety; and as we expressed a wish to get to Colchester that night, lie sent for a post-chaise to convey us thither, where we were received with loud acclamations by the In, habitants. . The next day we returned .0 Fingering Hoe, where we•had left the BalloOn,..and atter dry ing it on the grass, packed it up, and Made the best of' our way. to town, where we arrived about four o'clock the next morning. I cannot help admiring the coolness and presence of mind Mr. GARNERIN preserved, even in - The most imminent . danger ; and I am so confident of his great talents and skill in conduaing a Balk*, that I would venture to go to the end Of the world with him. This is as near a statement as I can reeollea ; and I should take it as a favour if. you would insert it in your Paper, as you would thereby ~ave me a great deal_of trouble, having hardly breath enough to answer the numerous inquiries concerning our aerial excursion. SOWDEN. Dr. GARNErT, ivhOdied on Monday lastiaffords a striking proof of the. vanity of human life. ThiSten t tleman was endowed by, Nature with _great:Okras, which he had cultivated with unremitting assiduity. He Was: well acquainted with most branches of Natural Histdry;but he had particularly . jurned his, attention to w a rcis Chemis t ry, and iv a s profoundly skilled in all its modern improvements, if improve. ments.they may-be termed. He officiated some time. as Leaurer. in ,Dr. ANDERSON'S Institution at Glasgow ; and during that: period published observa tions on a Tour through the Highlands and part of the Western-131es of Scotland. In - this Tou r h e manifested an inquiring and enterprizing mind, as well . as deep and various erudition. But bealSo proved hims.elf a man• of taste, rcfleaion: and sen sibility, - iris descriptions of the curiosities of Nature and Art, which he had opportunities of ob serving on his Tour, The Doadr, reasonably con-- eluding that the Metropolis of the British Empire opened the widest field for the display=of knowledge and abilities, as well as greater prospeas of en. couragement and success, came to London, and ap peared to much advantage as . Professor of Natural Philosophy ,and Chemistry in the.Ro l yal Institution of Great Britain. 'We are not sufficiently acquaint. ed with his reasons for quitting that Institution, but infer that he considered it as merely an intro . - duaion to praftice as a Physician. He published ,a very ingenious tray upon HEALTH, though perhaps it is too much marked by theory, and an attempt to apply the principles of Chemistry ,to animal pro. perties and animal funaions.• Such an enterprisinc , spirit, with such diversified knowledge, and such persevering diligence 'might reasonably look forward to high professional distinaion and prosperity. Bat scarely ,in the meridian of life, impelled by laudable ambition, and animated by the fairest prospeas, he was seized with a disorder which confined him sever4l weeks in severe' agitation, and which has put a final period to all his labour, all his discoVeries, all his anxieties, and all his expetations. On the early - loss of such an enlightened arid promising chara&er, we may say in the words Of his great Poetical Countryman-- " Oh ! only gi.v'n to check our fond pursuits, " And teach out humbled hopes that life is vain."

Mr. • Eitsrettaa said, he was to shew cause agains- a Rule obtained by Mr. Gartaow, calling on Peter Thorn; Thomas Kentish, and Robert Walter, to shew Cause why a criminal Information should not be filed against them.—The first Of these be fend?nts, Peter Thorn, was the Churchwarden of the Parish of Ealing in the County of Middlesex the other two were mere Officers, aning as. Consta- , bles under him ; f or w hi c h con d u ct , it i t had b een truly stated, it would have been impossible for !this to justify, or indeed to address the Court on behalf • ' of the Defendants, for it ,was stated to be brttal , and inhnman. They, were charged with this in. humanity in their conduct, in the removal .of a Pauper of the name of Norris, who was removed by. ;the order of the-Justices, from .the Parish of Ealing to the Parish of Dunmow, in the County of Essex. statement of this Case to the (ourt when this Rule was moved for, was made:ly his Learned Friend; Mr: GARROW, and when he moved for this Rule, , every body who heard him, and Mr. Ritsitrzyn said, hirnself nor less than others, was very much affeCted, and , the•faas. stated in the Affidavit were 'unquestionably such as called for the investigation of the Court, and called on the Defendantsafor a very particular answer, and an explicit justification of their conduCt. This Rule was obtained on the Affidavits of several persons, stating', that the _unfortunate person, the Pauper, removed in this Case, was also a Lunatic ; a Va.. grant in the Parish of Ealing. -The Affidavits were those of &mind Taylor, and. Edmund Bingham, and others.-They stated, that in the evening of the 3oth of March last; this unfortunate person was removed; -that they put him -into a cart covered with a blanket, in a Miserable condition, . with ulcers, and , so disease& as that lie could not be re. . moved ,without danger to his life ; -and then the :Affidavits stated, that when the Defendants -had ,taken r the Pauper 'about ten miles oil; they were stopt by the humanity of persons there, where the Pauper is, now remain:•g, and in a state of cone valescence. There was also , the Affidavit of one John Norris, 'Who-was the brother of the Pauper : his Affidavit pressed chiefly against the Defendant Thorn, the Churchwarden. This Deponent de_ scribed the , condition of his brother, who was re.. moved from the Parish of Ealing in the County of Middlesex, to Dimmow in the County of Essex, the distance of so' mileS. He stated in his Ath. davit, that he applied. to •the Defendant Peter Thorn; stating the deplorals:e condition of the Pauper, and saying to him, that he had no idea of that condition, and - Would not ha've it, without seeing him ; but that the said Peter Thorn refused to do so, saying "-that was not necessary, Sec"— ' and . then, for, the purpose 61 aaffecting , the other two Defendants, he:stated several expressions made use-of by Kentish, as if they. all wanted to get rid of the Pauper, without any care for the inhumanity - with which that purpose , was to be accomplished. Now, before he proceeded fUtther, he would adniif, that this was case enough to call on the Court to, grant this Information, unless it appeared that .the criminality, of the Defendants was well denied- j. but if the Court -saw, on the face of the matter as it. stood before them, on the whole of the affidavits, .that if the Information was granted, and the parties were to come before .a Jury upon it, that then a judge would be bound to advise a jury.. to acquit the Defendants, then •tha Court would refuse to grant this Infermation ; Isecause, in such a case e •it tvould be 'only vutting the party, unne cessarily, upon trial. He said, .he did riot know. 'that he should. injure hiS•I Client, if he lamented that this unfortunate man was removed at all, and that the purposes of humanity might have been better answered, by letting Shim remain where he svas.;•'hut-he trusted-the Court_ would_ see that the Defendant Thorn, had not been inattentive to his., dutY in this respea. - •In the first place., he had the affidaVit of Frederic Ashton, who gave - an account of the manner in which the lunatic Pauper came under the care of ,Thorn, and stated also that Thorn had given directions that the Pauper should be treated with all possible liumanity. Then ‘came., the affidavit of a person of the name of Thomai Julian, who was Vestry' Clerk of the Parish of haling, and Clerk to the Justices who Made the order of: removal, who met every Monday at • the. Star and Garter in that Parish, for the purposes of 'Plablic business. This person wrote a letter on behalf of the-Parish.of Ealing to the Parish Vestry Clerk.ot Danniow, in , Essex; stating, " That they had a vagrant who was to be removed to that Parish, and wishing to know if they 'would receive hime or if-they thought it better that, as he was a lunatiC, they would take him to some fit place in London; desiring direetions, in this re_ sped, from the Parish of ,Dunmow ;" upon which the answer was, ••. 4 That 'they apprehended the Pauper, did not-belong to Dunmow, and that there fore they, would not have any thing to do with that Pauper." ' Julian, wrote another letter to the Ofiicersrof DunmoW, desiring to know the grounds on which they, contended the Pauper did not belong • to them ; upon which the answer was, " That they, declined making ~any communication in that parti cular ;" and-therefore it was resolVed to remove the Pauper .by , order of the Justices. Mr. ERs: KINE said, it was to be lamented that this sort of coquetry should be observed between Parishes on these ,solemn occasions, and wished that in future Parish Officers would drop this.nonsense, and at. tend to the fair dealing and substance of things,. for that was the course which .was best adapted to the purposes of Humanity ;. but the question here was, whether there was any criminality in these _Defendants, or. whether there ivas that suspicion which made the , ,matter extremely doubtful whether there was-Crlininalitv - or' not ? that is, whether they knew' that 'this; Pauper was tot, ill to, he re-. • moved ? Now it appeared, thee'thePaoper was ifien, and had long before been,. attended' by a . Surgeon appointed by the - Vestry for that purpose, and that this Surgeon had even it as his opinion, that the Pauper was improved in health, anti that, at the. time his remoVal, he was fit to he •re. moved, and . that_ he gave that opinion to the De .fendant Thorn, and wrote thst ookion out, ,and , desired it to beaa , p - iven to . ' the. Magistrates, - he riot
