Yesterday evening a communication reached Mr. Graham's residence, in Poland -street, giving an account of his ascent from Hinckley, in Leicestershire, on Tuesday evening last s of which we subjoin a copy : " Hinckley, Sept. 6, 1836. " On Tuesday afternoon the town of Hinckley, which is situated thirteen miles from Leicester, was the scene of con siderable animation, in consequence of its having been an. nounced that Mr. Graham would make an ascent. The whole of the day was extremelyboisterous, notwithstanding, however, some hours before six o'clock, the time appointed for the ascent, several thousands of spectators assembled, amongst whom were the greater proportion of the respect able inhabitants. About four o'clock in the afternoon, the town was visited by a very tremendous thunder-storm, and it was greatly feared that such would prevent the ascent, owing to the great difficulty which attended the inflation of the balloon. The tempestuous weather continuing, the friends of Mr. Graham strongly advised him to postpone his aerial voyage, but he reso l u t e ly re f use d, ex p ress ing his determination not to disappoint the public even if it blew a hurricane, at the same time Mr. Graham expressing his full confidence that he could manage the balloon with equal safety in boisterous as in fine weather.

WT H J T E HALL, MARCH 8, 1836. . • Sir—l think it but justice that I should offer my acknowledgments to you for the great benefit I have derived from the use of your most exquisite fragrant compound of herbs, called Eye Snuff. Its ac tion on the membrane of the no se caus i ng th e l ac h r ymal glands to discharge in a manner truly surprising, and by that means so cleansed the cornea, that my Eyes became healthy, s , rsng, and performed their wonted duties in a manner that 1 have not known the blessing of for six years.

HAPPINESS, "the gay to-morrow of the mind, ,, is insured by marriage. .Preiious, however, to entering into the hallowed obligation of marriage, it becomes an impressive duty not only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from chose impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. Luxurious habits will effeminize the body—a residence in the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the natural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonized sufferer snore than doubts the chalice of relief. To all such, then, we address ourselves, offering hope—energy—muscular strength—felicity. The easy cares 01 married life are sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath—for the female habit is often con stitutionally weak—yet it can be strengthened, and deth energy im proved into functional power. In every ease of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every relaxation of the generative economy, we pledge cur abi lity to cure speedily, and with effect. Confidentin our own honourable inte grity as members of the College of Surgeons, we refer the suffering com munity of either sex especially those entering into matrimonial life) at once to our house, where daily attendance is given for personal consulta tion ; and letters from the country are immediately answered ; these must contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine, describing minutely the case, which can be forwarded to any part of the world, h owev er distant.

Savill, baker, Holborn-bridge 1 at 1 A ladies' bazaar was lately opened at Oswestry, to raise funds towards building a new church, and the account of net proceeds was 6901. 17s. 6d. Yesterday morning, between eleven and twe►ve o'clock, the following occurrence, attended with loss of life, took place at the back of Adams's Tile-kilns, Maiden-lane, Battle bridge. At the spot are several exhausted clay pits of great depth, belonging to Mr. Adams, who, being desirous of having them filled up, entered into an agreement with a man named Martin, for the completion of the work, and all went on well until yesterday, when James Martin, the son, unhappily lost his life. The unfortunate young man had just returned with a load of rubbish, and in order that he might shoot it its pro per place, backed the horse, when the animal went too far, and to avoid an accident Martin pulled with all his might by the head, but all to no purpose ; the horse still continuing to back, was, with the cart, precipitated down the pit, together with the unfortunate man, who still kept hold of the reins. The depth of the pit is upwards of fifty feet, and it contains twenty feet of water. Search was immediately made for Martin, who was seen for some time struggling, and it was not until the arrival of some drags from Maiden-lane that he was drawn out, but life was quite extinct. The horse was also drowned. The deceased has left a widow and two young children. STRANGE MISTAKE.—Mr. John M'Cutcheon, commander of the brig Louisa, 'has just returned from a voy age to the Miuritius. When he came ashore he was asto nulled at the warm congratulations, and the more than usually kind greetings of his friends ; but found, on inquiry, that he had been given up for lost, it having been believed that the Louisa had been captured by pirates, and all hands murdered, owing to a report in Lloyd's List last month. The report was---" The Larkins, Ingram, arrived off Margate from Cal cutta; fell in with on the 27th of June, in lat. 8, 46 5.., long. 13, 42 W., a very suspicious-looking brig, with a white woman figure-head, gilt stern, and Louisa of London' painted on it, well manned with black men, and the captain seemed a mu latto; appeared to be from the Isle of France to London ; she hoisted English colours at the main royal mast-head, made sail, and steered north." It appears that there was not a single black on board the Louisa, nor is Captain M'Cut cheon a mulatto, so . that the captain of the Larkins was ra ther out in his reckoning. In consequence of thist report , it is stated th a t i nsurances were effected at the enormous pre mium of 25 per cent. instead of 1 or 11. Several of the shareholders expressed a wish that the person who caused the advertisement to be inserted should declare himself, and several objected to the wish, and the business proceeded without any acknowledgment from the particular shareholder. After some conversation, in which many of the share holders joined, it was determined that Mr. Lucas, who had been accountant and clerk in the Company, should be re quested to make such statement to the meeting as he should think necessary. 0 4 Mr. Ltmas,-after mtit obgrrati ons froin-Ahareholders upon the propriety of postponing "his statement until the meeting of the company appointed for the 14th instant, pro ceeded, by the general consent, in his statement. He had, he said, endeavoured to prevail upon the directors to rec tify the conduct of which he had to complain, but in vain, and at last he had been discharged from his situation. He had detected an extraordinary proceeding on the part of the directors, who had appointed one of themselves (Mr. Thorpe) to take down to Manchester 2,595 shares- to dis pose of at 7s. Gd. discount. Those shares Mr. Thorpe had sold at par, and, not satisfied with the advantages he had derived from the same at a premium of many shares al lotted to him as a director, pocketted the difference between the full price and the discount. In examining the accounts he found that the deficiency was to be set down as brokerage and commission, but he ascertained that there were no charges of the kind, and he expostulated with the chair man and other directors, but in vain. He had previously himself purchased forty shares, and he asked the chair man (Sir Samuel Whalley) for them, but was refused. He then wrote to the solicitor to the company, stating that deception was going forward, and upon seeing that gentleman, and being asked the nature of the charge he bad to make, he said that he would state the particulars if the forty shares were given to him. After repeated applica tions for the shares he at last received them, but was re quired not to sell them. Mr. Lucas then entered into a long statement of the insults to which he said he was ex posed for having thus complained of the wrongs done to the shareholders ; declared that the directors had, with (we be lieve) only one exception, Col. Skerrett, de-ived pecuniary advantages from the sale of shares at a premium which they secured at par ; admitted that he had sold his shares, and stated that his dismissal, after a series of indignities, took place soon after he made the exposure to the directors. Amongst other things which the directors did, two of them bought up in the market 169 shares at 21. 45.9 d. premium, by way of raising the market, and th ese s h ares were ( as we understood Mr. Lucas) sold by other directors, and, what was odd, the company was made to pay the profits. The CHAIRMAN said that a provisional Committee, such as at that time directed the affairs of the company, were obliged, he believed, to deal in shares in order to carry a company through. Mr. AsuToN, who stated himself to be a considerable shareholder, said that the shareholder who had called the meeting was certainly justified in doing so by the statement just made. He should confine himself to Mr. Thorpe's transactions at Manchester ; the rest he should leave to the meeting of the 14th inst., when a full answer would be given by the Directors themselves. Pending the forma tion of the company the shares lagged in the London market, and in short one of the Provisional Committee volunteered his services to get rid of 3,000_ shares at Man chester. The shares were then at a discount, and it was arranged that the offer should be accepted. Mr. Thorpe took the shares to Manchester, and sold them at par. During this time the provisional Committee had deputed Sir Samuel Whalley, in whose honour they had the most perfect reliance, to receive all the money paid on shares, and Mr. Thorpe having sold all the shares paid from time to time sums of money into their exchequer, nobody for a moment doubting his inter , rity. The question what he got for the shares was not asked, and lay in abeyance until Mr. Lucas called on Sir Samuel Whalley, and offered to give important information if forty shares were given to him. Sir Samuel refused to give the bribe, but was afterwards induced to let Mr. Lucas have the forty shares upon condition of being informed of the particulars of the wrong committed against the Pro prietary. Upon being informed, what was the conduct of Sir S. Whalley ?—it would be stated by that gentleman, on the 14th, that he said, " Either Mr. Thorpe shall re sign or I'll resign."—(Hear.) Such, in fact, was the con duct of the directors, that Mr. O'Gore, who had the charge of the Bill in Parliament, declared, after having heard the calumnies of the discarded servant, Mr. Lucas, that he was determined to use his utmost efforts to get it through. He (Mr. Ashton) had observed the conduct of the di rectors in the Parliamentary Committee, and never had he seen so much interest as they had exhibited for the ser vice of the proprietary, and would on the 14th expose the infamous falsehoods by which they had been assailed. Several other of the proprietors spoke some words upon one side, and some upon the other. A proposition was made to the effect of requesting the Directors to postpone the registration and the meeting until a deputation should have examined the books, to which an amendment was moved expressive of the confi dence of the shareholders in the Directors till the 14th instant, when the latter would give a full explanation of their conduct. The amendment was carried by 30 to 18, but the advo cates for the original proposition stated that there were seven proprietors on their side, who, having refused to give their names, could not vote. VIOLET ; OR, THE DANSEUSE.—This work, un der the mask of an affecting fiction, is a just and severe satire on the existing state of manners. Life should be seen and studied from all points, and Violet takes completely unbroken ground. We have often wondered that the theatrical world has never before been explored by fiction; and what a strange picture does it now present The great merit of this narra tive is in its progressive interest, and its well-sustained and developed characters. Violet, indeed, is the most striking and the most original work that has for some time embodied satire n a deeply interesting narrative.--Literary Gazette. MADRAS.—A very heavy snow storm had been experienced at Landour and at Mussoree, the average depth of the snow being four feet. The King of Bokhara had passed a Royal ordinance prohibiting his Hindoo subjects from burn ing their dead, on the ground that such cremation is offensive, unhealthy, and abhorrent to the feelings of Mussulmen. A violent hail storm has occurred in the district of Rajahmundry. It rained incessantly for 16 hours, and at intervals the hail, which was of enormous size, committed great devastation among the grain in the fields; in some cases d e stroying crops of cooltie. The thuhder and lightning were awful, and several persons were killed. DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT ESCAPE. —On Wednesday, about three o'clock, a culprit well known to the criminal officers here, was brought from Stirling on a charge of house-breaking, to undergo examination befolce the Cshoeurniffty. He was detainedfor some time in a lower room Hall, with two men attending him,but without being pini one d. dashed_ his fe e t th roug h caught the upper part of the window,risoner suddenly spr ang up Watching his opportunity, p outersht e befo re his sl l o f I g t, ro c u a n tch d, l a n l g mo t the p o a I n v e i n o d f o g w l a a s s s , haen ddropped h r t o o u g t h h e at tendants were aware of his movements. He then ran down Libberton's Wynd, where his further progress was stopped by a wall, which gave time for his pursuers to gain upon him ; he, however, ran quickly up the Wynd, across the High street, and down Seller's-close, on the opposite side of the street. Fortunately there was no outlet to this close either, and the officers being close upon hint, be was seized and brought back to his former confinement, where effectual means were used to prevent any further : attempt at escape.—Edin burgh Evening Post. FATAL MISTAKE. --A, few days since, as Mr. George Roscoe, a highly respectable attorney, was visiting some friends near Ilminster, Somersetslaire, he was mortally wounded in the following singular manner : —The house in which be slept being alarmed in the nieht by a report of thieves, the serv an t o f the family came down with a large horse-pistol, intending to shoot the depredators,. Lut unfortu nately observi ng Mr. Roscoe, who had descended by another staircase, and mistaking him for a robber, instantly shot him through the heart. gr. R. immediately fell ; and though the family were unremitting in their endeavours to allay his anguish, yet before he was conveyed to his bed-room the vital spark was extinct. Few persons can more lament his un timely end than the unfortunate man who was the cause of his death. " At ten minutes past seven o'clock the balloon d(3• scended safely, in a field about thirteen miles distant front theplace of ascent, and Mr. - Graharn arrived at Hinekle3► with the balloon shortly after nine. Mr. Graham describer his trip as very grand, from the extraordinary appearances of the clouds and the flashes of vivid lightning, which war visible considerably beneath him. Whilst up Mr. Grahams was necessitated to bail the water out of the car, 'owing toe the torrents of rain that fell. He describes the cold aFs very intense when up at the utmost altitude, which %vat.* more than three miles." THE NEW BALLOON.—This beautiful and stupendous balloon has been constructed under the immediate superin.. tendence of Mr. Charles Green, to whom, on account o r his great experience and successful aerostation, the spiritedi proprietors of the Royal Gardens, Vauxhall, have, with the, utmost confidence, entrusted the sole direction ; and we area happy to state that it is entirely complete, and Mr. C. Green. and eight persons will ascend from the above gardens oni Friday (to-morrow), and it is expected that their Majes-. ties will honour the gardens with their presence on that day:- The balloon itself cost the proprietors .upwards of 2,150/.„, and they deny a statement which has appeared, that it was: in contemplation to construct a balloon which was intendect to be guided through the air. It is proper to state such a, plan was never thought of—the opinion of Mr. Green, and'. indeed of all other experienced aeronauts, being that such a. grand desideratum is totally impracticable to any extent.. Among the many advantages to be gained from the enormous increase in the dimensions of this aerostatic machine are thes following :—A much greater elevation will be attained than. hitherto has been, and the long-agitated question decided as to.' whether there are, at a great altitude, currents of air pro-. ceeding in one direction several months together. This Mr_ Green, from many observations he has made, believes to. be the case at an altitude where the atmosphere is not acted. on by the reflection of the sun's rays from the earth, or dense masses of clouds. Should this theory be found cor rect, a grand step in the progress of aerostation will be made.. The great power of the machine, even when inflated with. coal gas, will enable scientific gentlemen to ascend with philosophical apparatus, for the purpose of making experi ments in electricity, pneumatics, magnetism, &c., or astro nomical observations, which, from the small dimensions or all other balloons, has been impossible ; and this circum stance has caused them to be regarded by scientific men as mere objects of public exhibition. The ascents of the new balloon will not be confined to this country, but arrange ments are in progress to visit with it the principal capitals of Europe. When Mr. C. Green makes his ascent in the new balloon, he will have travelled through the regions or the clouds two hundred and twenty-three times. It is, however, calculated that the new balloon will ascend, when inflated with pure hydrogen gas, with twenty-eight persons,. besides ballast and apparatus, the power varying according to the quantity of gas, the state of the atmosphere, and a variety of causes. Yesterday several of the holders of allures in the Grand Junction Railway Company met at the George and Vulture Tavern, Cornhill, in consequence of the following advertise ment, signed by a shareholder : " To the Shareholders.—Observing in the daily papers an address to you, signed Charles Lucas, stating the neces sity of a general meeting being held previous to the registra tion, I was induced to see him on that subject, and am satis fied that it is to the interest of the subscribers that such meeting should take place. I therefore beg to advise your particular attendance to-morrow, the 7th instant, at one o'clock, at the George and Vulture Tavern, to take into consideration the communications then and there to be made, and to adopt such measures as circumstances may require to be taken for the protection of the shareholders." Mr. Moore, of Lincoln's Inn, was unanimously called to the chair. " At six o'clock, the balloon being sufficiently inflated, Mr. Graham entered the car amidst the most enthusiastic cheers of those assembled. It was generally supposed he would be accompanied by some gentleman, but that was not the case, possibly owing to the tempestuous state of the weather. Every thing being completed the cords were loosed, and the ponderous machine rose rapidly, at the tim3 blowing and raining hard. Owing to the thickness of the atmosphere the balloon was soon out of sight. Much as» tonishment and admiration was manifested by all present, at the intrepidity of Mr. Graham in ascending in such weather. During the time the balloon was up the thunder and lightning was very bad, and much anxiety was felt by. Mr. Graham's friends, at the possibility of the balloon being struck by the electric fluid. MASONIC MEETING. Last night a grnd Masonic Meeting was held at the Freeriason's Tavern, to receive his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex (Grand Master), it being his first appear ance amongst the brethren since his recovery from the operation of couching. The Ambassador from the King of Oude was present on the occasion. A special Grand Lodge had been summoned some time previously by Lord Dundas, to vote an address of congra tulation to his Royal •Highness, on the recovery of his sight. The object was to give an opportunity to the masonic body to vote an address to his Royal Highness, to be presented by the Grand Officers and Masters of the Lodges in the United Kingdom. The address was accordingly prepared, and presented on the present occasion. It congratulated his Royal Highness on the restoration of his sight, and. expressed a hope that the brethren, at an early period, might have him amongst them. The Duke of SUSSEX read an appropriate answer, and stated that he was much obliged to the brethren for their loyal and dutiful address to him, and be added a wish, that if it pleased the Almighty he might be with them again, it would, he observed, be his study on every occasion to pro mote the interest of the craft. It was finally moved and seconded that the address and answer be printed and cir culated throughout the United Kingdom. The Ambassador from the King of Oude, was the next object of attention. He had passed three degrees, and they voted him the costume of the Grand Lodge. His ROYAL HIGHNESS addressed the Prince. His ob servations were to this effect :—The practice of the Ma sons of England was to confer on royalty after the three degrees, the degree attained by the Senior Grand Warden of England, and put him on an equality. He stated his hope that when his Excellency went back that he would be an ornament to his country, and induce the brethren to act in the spirit of union. In England union was maintained. Union was strength. His Royal Highness endeavoured to impress on the Ambassador that the object of masonry wzis to promote good feeling between man and man. He paid some flattering compliments to his Excellency, who, he said, was not only possessed of rank, but science, and the desire to obtain information for the excellent purpose of doing good. The AMBASSADOR, in broken English, regretted that lie► could not speak our language with fluency necessary to do justice to his feelings ; but he assured them he was sensible of the honour conferred on him. He bad a heart, and that heart was full. DISPATCH, PERMANENTLY ENLARGED AND REDUCED is PRICE.—On the 18th of September the Dispatch, —the most popular Journal in England, circulating 30,000 copies per week—will be enlarged to the extent allowed by the new Stamp Act, and reduced in price from 81d. to 6d. It will contain 48 column s , an d w ill b e so arranged as to enable purchasers, without detriment to the annual binding of this Journal in an entertaining and useful volume, to divide the sheet, so as to accommodate three readers at the same time. In this alteration the proprietors give to their numerous friends more than th e ent i re advantage o the reduction of the Stamp Duty. That reduction is nominally from fourpence to one penny ; but as a considerable discount has been hitherto al lowed .by Government for spoilt stamps, which is now to be withheld, the real reduction is not more than twopence far thing. While, therefore, the proprietors of the Dispatch sub stract from the price of heir Journal more than is taken front the Stamp Duty, they will at the same time constantly give four additional pages. In fact, subscribers will have, every week, an enlarged Dispatch for Sixpence. This Journal has long been known as the undeviating advocate of the rights of the people.
